Terms of Service

Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using the Carlee website and game, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use Carlee.

Carlee is an independently operated project made by independent developer Monscrul. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any automobile manufacturer.

What Carlee is

Carlee is a free browser-based car-guessing game. The main mode is Daily: one mystery car per UTC calendar day, the same car for every player, solved in up to 6 guesses. An optional Unlimited mode lets you play random cars as often as you like and does not count toward streaks or win rate.

You identify the car by searching and submitting guesses. Feedback compares attributes such as make, country, drivetrain, body style, horsepower, year, and engine.

Accounts are optional. You may play without signing in, or sign in with Google or email and password to sync Daily progress and statistics across devices. Authentication and synced data are provided through Supabase. The production site also uses Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights to measure visits and performance. It does not currently include advertising. Features may change over time.

Accounts

Creating or using an account is optional. If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for activity that occurs under your account. Do not share your password. If you sign in with Google, you must also comply with Google’s terms for that service.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, abuse the service, or create security or operational risk.

Streaks and statistics

Streaks, win rate, and other Daily statistics are informal records for your own play. They are not a competitive ranking and are not prizes.

Without an account, statistics and Daily progress are stored only in your browser on that device. They can be lost if you clear site data, use private browsing, switch browsers or devices, or if your browser removes stored data.

With an account, Daily statistics and today’s Daily game progress may sync to your account so you can continue on another device. Unlimited mode is not synced. Signing out clears local game data on that device; your account data remains until you request deletion or the account is otherwise removed. We may reset or change how statistics work as the game evolves, and we cannot guarantee recovery of every local-only streak that was never synced.

Using the game

When you use Carlee, you agree to:

• Use the site for personal, non-commercial enjoyment unless we agree otherwise in writing
• Play fairly and not attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the service
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape at abusive rates, or misuse the car catalog or site in a way that harms the project or other users
• Not use automated tools to cheat or abuse gameplay in a way that interferes with normal operation, including scripting the Daily puzzle or artificially inflating streaks and statistics
• Not create accounts or manipulate synced progress in a way that abuses the service or other players

User conduct

You agree not to use Carlee to engage in unlawful activity, harass others, distribute malware, attempt unauthorized access to systems or data, or otherwise misuse the website. We may restrict or block access if we reasonably believe these terms are being violated.

Intellectual property

The Carlee name, site design, layout, original text, and original code written for this project are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, redistribute, or claim ownership of Carlee’s original materials without permission, except for ordinary personal use of the game in your browser.

Third-party content, trademarks, and car materials

Carlee references real car makes, models, and technical attributes for gameplay. Car names, logos, trademarks, and related brand materials belong to their respective owners. Carlee is an independent fan/project game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by those manufacturers or trademark owners unless explicitly stated.

Catalog data is provided for entertainment and educational guessing gameplay. It may contain errors or omissions. If you spot a mistake, you can report it via the Contact page.

Disclaimer

Carlee is provided “as is” and “as available” for entertainment purposes. We do not guarantee that the game will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free, or that the car catalog will be complete or perfectly accurate. Optional cloud sync depends on third-party services and your network connection.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Carlee and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of (or inability to use) the website or game. If liability cannot be excluded in your jurisdiction, it is limited to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.

Changes to the service

We may update, pause, or discontinue parts of Carlee at any time, including the catalog, gameplay rules, accounts, sync behavior, interface, or availability, without prior notice.

Changes to these Terms

These Terms may be updated from time to time. When we make changes, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of Carlee after an update means you should review the revised Terms.

Privacy

How information related to your visit and optional account may be handled is described in our Privacy Policy.
