Points are not money
In Omen 0.2 and later, calls use points. Everyone starts with 10,000 points, for free. Points are not real money, are never worth real money, and have no value. Points are never bought, sold, transferred or cashed out: you can never buy them, sell them, trade them for anything of value, or send them to anyone for anything of value. There are no in-app purchases for them. Omen never costs you money to play.
Your points, your Omen, your record, your league, your rank, your badges, and anything else you see in Omen are just for fun. They are not property, not currency, and not an investment, and they have no cash value. We may change, reset, or remove points, for example to fix a mistake.
No prizes
Omen has no prizes of any value. No cash prizes, no gift cards, no giveaways, and no rewards for inviting friends. Winning a league or topping a list gets you bragging rights and nothing else.
Omen is not betting
Omen is a free game about calling what happens next. It is not gambling, betting, or trading. You cannot put real money in, and you cannot take real money out. We use chances from public sources only to decide how many points a call puts on the line and can win. Omen does not link to any real-money betting or trading service.
Nothing here is advice
Omen is for fun and for information. Nothing on Omen is money, investment, legal, tax, medical, or other professional advice. That includes questions, chances, results, records, and anything another player says. We are not an advisor or a broker. What you do after using Omen is up to you.
Who can use Omen
You must be 18 or older to use Omen 0.2 and later, the version with points. You confirm it when you make your first call, and we save only which line you agreed to and when. If you are under 18, please do not use it. The first version of Omen, where a call is YES or NO, was for people 13 and older.
You may not use Omen if we removed you before, or if the law where you live does not allow it. You are responsible for everything done with your account, even on a phone you lend to someone.
Computer-run players
Omen includes computer-run players. They make calls, just like people do. They count in the crowd numbers on a question, and they can show up in leagues and in top callers. They never join your friends’ leagues, never show up as a contact match or a friend suggestion, never send you a message, and never change the chances.
Calls and results
In Omen 0.2 and later, every call is worth 1,000 points, and your side’s chance is what goes on the line. At a 36% chance, a call puts 360 points on the line. If you are right, you win 640 points. If you are wrong, you lose the 360. You can hold a side to make a call count more, a few times a day.
Your Omen is every call added up, starting at 10,000 points. Every call is worth 1,000, and your Omen never drops below 1,000: a wrong call takes no more than what is above it. Leagues rank players by their points for the week.
You have 4 seconds to undo a call. After that, the call goes in and is final. It counts at your side’s chance at that moment. There is no selling and no buying back. Once a question closes, no one can make new calls on it.
In the first version of Omen, a call is YES or NO, and it can’t be changed or taken back once you make it, not by you and not by us.
We settle each question using the sources named on it. We may fix a result if a source fixes itself or if we made a mistake. If a question can’t be settled fairly (for example, the game never happened or the question was unclear), we may call it off. Then it doesn’t count for or against anyone, and no points are won or lost on it. You can always write to us if you think we got one wrong.
We may change questions, sources, closing times, and rules before a question closes, and we may add or remove questions at any time.
Your record is public
Your handle, display name, photo, and record are public. Other people may see, link to, screenshot, and share them. Before you call a question, we hide how other people called it. After you call, or once it closes, you can see it. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how to delete it.
Your account and handle
You may use your handle while you use Omen, but you don’t own it. We may refuse, take back, or rename a handle or a league name that pretends to be someone else, is reserved, uses someone’s trademark, or is offensive. Keep your sign-in safe, and tell us right away if you think someone else is using your account.
Rules everyone follows
Omen has no room for abuse or offensive content. You agree not to:
- Post anything hateful, harassing, threatening, sexual, or otherwise offensive. That includes handles, display names, photos, league names, and takes.
- Pretend to be someone else.
- Cheat. That includes using more than one account, working with others to game a league or a list, or using a bug instead of telling us about it.
- Sell, buy, or trade accounts or points.
- Send fake or spam reports.
- Copy, scrape, or automate Omen without our written permission.
- Attack Omen or try to get into data or accounts that are not yours.
- Use Omen to break the law or anyone’s rights.
Report and block
You can block anyone in the app. Then you won’t see each other in Omen. You can also report a person or a league name. What you report is hidden from you right away. We review every report, usually within 24 hours, and we remove content, or remove the person who posted it, when it breaks these rules. You can also email reports to hello@askomen.com.
What you post
You own what you post: your handle, display name, photo, league names, takes, and anything you send us. You let us store it, show it, and copy it anywhere in the world, for free, to run and promote Omen. That includes the share cards and link previews you make.
If you send us an idea or feedback, we may use it without paying you.
What we own
Omen, its name, its look, its questions, and its settling work belong to us and are protected by law. These terms let you use Omen for yourself, not for business. They give you nothing else.
The App Store and other companies
If you get Omen from the App Store, Apple’s standard license for apps also applies. If it disagrees with these terms about the app itself, Apple’s license wins. Apple is not part of these terms and does not have to support Omen, but Apple may enforce these terms against you.
Omen uses services and data sources we don’t control, including the sources that settle questions and set chances. We are not responsible for them. If one of them is down or wrong, a chance or a result may be late or wrong.
Ending it
You can stop using Omen at any time, and you can delete your account in the app (Settings, then Delete account). We may pause or end your access if you break these terms, if we need to protect Omen or its players, or if we stop running Omen. Some parts of these terms still apply after that: calls stay on the record, what we own, the disclaimers, the limits on what we owe, and how disputes work.
No promises
We give you Omen “as is.” As far as the law allows, we make no promises about it, including that it will work for a certain use, that it will always be up, that it will have no errors, or that a question will close, settle, or show its chance on time or correctly.
Limits on what we owe
As far as the law allows, Omen and its people and suppliers are not responsible for indirect, special, or punishing damages, or for lost profits, data, or chances. That includes anything caused by a result, a fix, a called-off question, a question’s chance, or a choice you made after using Omen. If we do owe you something, the most we owe is $100 or what you paid us in the last 12 months, whichever is more. Some places don’t allow these limits, so some of this may not apply to you.
If someone makes a claim because of you
If someone makes a claim against Project Codex, Inc. because of how you used Omen, what you posted, or because you broke these terms or someone’s rights, you agree to cover the costs, including fair legal fees.
Disagreements
The laws of the State of Delaware apply to these terms. Before you file anything, please email us at hello@askomen.com, because almost everything is faster to fix that way. If we can’t work it out, the case goes only to the state or federal courts in Delaware, and we both agree to use them. We each agree to bring claims only for ourselves, not as part of a class action.
The rest
These terms and our Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Omen. If one part can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don’t enforce something right away, we can still enforce it later. You can’t hand these terms to someone else. We can, if Omen is part of a merger or sale.
Changes
If Omen changes, we may update these terms. We will post the new version here and change the date at the top. If a change is big, we will also tell you in another way. If you keep using Omen after a change, you agree to the new terms.
