Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using Puzzle Diagnostics.

Effective Date: January 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Puzzle Diagnostics website (symptompattern.info) and all associated diagnostic guides, walkthroughs, and educational content, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you must not use this site. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of the site following such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.

2. Description of Service

Puzzle Diagnostics provides diagnostic guidance, annotated walkthroughs, and constraint-aware reasoning frameworks to help casual and intermediate puzzle game players identify optimization bottlenecks and improve their problem-solving approach. Our content is educational in nature and designed to help you understand the thinking patterns behind puzzle solutions, not to provide guaranteed winning strategies for any specific game.

We offer symptom-to-solution mapping, foundational mechanics explanations, and detailed breakdowns of common optimization mistakes. All content is provided on an as-is basis to support your learning and diagnostic reasoning skills.

3. Permitted Use

You agree to use Puzzle Diagnostics only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe upon the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of the site. Prohibited behavior includes:

• Harassing or causing distress or inconvenience to any person;
• Transmitting obscene or offensive content;
• Disrupting the normal flow of dialogue within our site;
• Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems or networks;
• Reproducing, duplicating, copying, or selling any content without explicit written permission;
• Reverse-engineering, decompiling, or attempting to derive the underlying logic of our diagnostic frameworks for commercial purposes.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on Puzzle Diagnostics—including but not limited to text, graphics, walkthroughs, diagnostic frameworks, symptom-to-solution mappings, diagrams, and annotated puzzle solutions—is the intellectual property of Puzzle Diagnostics or its content contributors and is protected by international copyright laws. You may view and print content for your personal, non-commercial use only.

You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works from, or sell any content without prior written consent from Puzzle Diagnostics. References to specific puzzle games and their mechanics are provided for educational and diagnostic purposes only; we do not claim ownership of those games or their intellectual property.

5. User-Generated Content and Feedback

If you submit comments, feedback, or suggestions regarding Puzzle Diagnostics, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to use such feedback for any purpose, including improving our diagnostic frameworks and educational content. You represent that any feedback you provide is original and does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

6. Disclaimers

Puzzle Diagnostics is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any diagnostic guidance, walkthroughs, or educational content. While we strive to provide helpful and accurate information, puzzle optimization outcomes depend on many factors beyond our control, including game updates, individual learning pace, and your specific puzzle context.

We do not warrant that:

• The site will be uninterrupted or error-free;
• Any diagnostic framework will guarantee improved puzzle performance;
• All content will remain current or applicable to all game versions;
• The site is free from viruses, malware, or other harmful components.

Your use of the site and reliance on any content is entirely at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Puzzle Diagnostics and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the site or its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these terms or your use of the site shall not exceed the amount you have paid to access premium content on Puzzle Diagnostics in the twelve months preceding the claim, or if you have not made any payment, shall not exceed the cost of one month of access to our service (if applicable). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability, so this limitation may not apply to you.

8. Third-Party Links and Content

Puzzle Diagnostics may contain links to third-party websites, including puzzle game platforms, gaming communities, and external educational resources. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of these external sites. Your use of third-party sites is governed by their own terms of service and privacy policies. We do not endorse or assume liability for any third-party content or services.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hungary, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any legal action or proceeding arising from or relating to these terms or your use of Puzzle Diagnostics shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Central Hungary, specifically the Gödöllő Regional Unit area, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to Puzzle Diagnostics at any time, without notice or liability, if we determine that you have violated these Terms of Service or engaged in conduct that we believe is harmful, unlawful, or otherwise inappropriate. Upon termination, your right to use the site ceases immediately.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Puzzle Diagnostics regarding your use of the site and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and negotiations, whether written or oral.

13. Changes to These Terms

Puzzle Diagnostics reserves the right to update or modify these Terms of Service at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to the site, and your continued use of the site following the posting of revised terms means you accept and agree to the changes. We encourage you to review these terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.
