What the site produces itself

The question catalogue is written for this game. It lives directly in the site’s code, split across 28 themed banks: every prompt, every hint and every accepted answer is spelled out there.

No outside question set feeds the catalogue. The game code reads no content file at run time and fetches none from anywhere else, and no third-party source is cited in those banks.

Four of those banks carry, at the top of the file, the rules their questions have to meet: closed and checkable sets, no set defined by a shifting ranking, no hint that contains a valid answer, and both languages pointing at exactly the same set.

The images and the code

The tier artwork, the app icons and the pack illustrations were produced for this site and are served from its own domain.

The interface icons are not produced here: they come from the lucide-react library, used under the ISC licence and listed in the table below.

Some of those images were produced with the help of image generation tools. The site therefore claims no more rights over them than it actually holds.

The application code, the part that assembles games, counts points and serves the pages, is written for this site and versioned here, along with its test suite.

Third-party components and their licences

The game relies on public components. They are listed here with their licence, because a library used in line with its licence is not a grey area.

The display typeface is VT323, published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. It is hosted on the site’s own domain, and the full licence text is served publicly at /fonts/OFL-VT323.txt. No outside font service is called when a page loads.

A site operated independently

KRILLION is operated independently by the publisher of krillion.to, reachable at [email protected].

The site is connected to no other game and to no other publisher. There is no ownership, contractual or trademark link between it and any site with a similar name, and none of its pages presents itself as the official version, the translation or a mirror of another game.

This site is not published by krillion.io, is not an official version of it, and is not affiliated with it in any way.

If you were looking for another site, you are not on it: this address is krillion.to.

Reporting a suspected infringement

If you believe that content published on krillion.to infringes your rights, write to [email protected]. A claim sent to that inbox is read and examined.

A notice may also be sent by post to the postal address published on the Contact page.

To be actionable, a notice has to identify three things: what is protected, what is targeted on the site, and who is filing.

• The work or right relied on, described precisely enough to be identified, and the capacity in which you act: owner, successor in title or authorised agent.
• The content targeted, with the exact page address and where it sits on that page. A question, a piece of artwork and an interface string are not handled the same way.
• Your contact details: name or company name, postal address, and an email address to reach you at.
• A good faith statement: to your knowledge, the disputed use is authorised neither by you, nor by law, nor by contract.
• A statement of accuracy: the information in the notice is accurate.
• The date of sending and the signature of the person filing. An electronic signature, or a message sent from the rights holder’s own email address, is enough.

What happens next

We acknowledge receipt within a few working days, and the claim is examined on its merits.

Removal is not automatic. Depending on what the examination establishes, the content may be removed, corrected, or kept with a reasoned answer. No outcome is promised in advance, and the examination prejudges nothing about proceedings brought elsewhere.

An incomplete notice cannot be handled usefully. When that happens, we say what is missing rather than leaving the request unanswered.

A claim may also be sent to Cloudflare, which delivers the site and whose address appears on the Contact page. That does not replace writing to the address above, which remains the most direct route.

Disputing a removal

If content you supplied, or content concerning you, was removed from the site following a claim, you can dispute that removal at the same address.

• The content removed and the address where it stood before removal.
• Your contact details, and an email address to reach you at.
• Why you consider the removal unjustified: authorisation, right of use, quotation, mistaken identification.
• A statement of accuracy and your signature.

After a dispute

The dispute is examined and, where appropriate, passed on to whoever filed the original claim. If that claim is not maintained, or if examination does not confirm it, the removal is reconsidered.

The answer is reasoned either way: a restoration is explained to you, and so is a removal that stands.

What you may do with the game’s content

Some of what the game produces is meant to travel, and the rest needs written agreement.

• Share a score, a screenshot of a game or a link to the game: the terms of use allow it expressly, and no permission is needed.
• What the terms of use rule out: bulk extraction of questions and answers to republish them elsewhere.
• For editorial, educational or commercial use beyond that, write to [email protected]: written permission can be asked for, and the request gets an answer.

What this page is

This page describes how the site handles these matters and how to raise them with us. It is general information, not legal advice.

It takes no position on any particular situation and does not replace advice from a qualified lawyer.

The terms of use remain the reference text for using the site. The date the legal texts were last revised appears at the top of the screen.
