Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of Daily Holmes (the "Service"), operated by Offbeat Technology. By using the Service you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use it.

The service

Daily Holmes is a free daily deduction puzzle. There are no accounts. The Service is provided as is, without warranties of any kind.

Acceptable use

Don't scrape the Service with automated tools. Don't spam submissions. Don't post abusive, hateful, harassing, or illegal content in deductions, tips, or case submissions. We may remove anything that violates these rules without notice.

User submitted content

When you submit a case, a tip, or a public deduction, you keep the copyright. You grant Offbeat Technology a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to publish, edit, moderate, translate, or remove that content on Daily Holmes and in promotional contexts (for example, sharing your tip on social channels). Public submissions are attributed when a handle is provided.

AI scoring and feedback

Scores and written feedback are produced by a third-party AI model. They are subjective, occasionally wrong, and should not be taken as a measure of intelligence, taste, or skill. We tune the model and the prompts, but cannot guarantee accuracy.

Intellectual property

Case photographs, questions, answer keys, bonus facts, the Daily Holmes brand, and the site design are owned by Offbeat Technology or its licensors. AI-generated case images are clearly labeled on the case page. Reuse outside fair use requires written permission.

Disclaimer of warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Offbeat Technology shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability shall not exceed one hundred United States dollars.

Termination

We may suspend or block sessions that violate these terms. You can stop using the Service at any time.

Changes to the terms

If we change these terms in a material way, we'll show a banner on the site for at least two weeks before they take effect. Continued use after that counts as acceptance.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Istanbul.
