About Stay Chessy

Stay Chessy offers online chess lessons for children, educational content, and free browser games.

The website is operated by Dasha Maiorova, based in Tel Aviv, Israel. In these terms, "Stay Chessy", "we", "us", and "our" refer to Dasha Maiorova as the operator of the website.

These terms apply to your use of staychessy.com. Paid lessons are governed by separate arrangements provided before enrolment.

Questions: staychessy@gmail.com.

Children and parents

Children are welcome to explore the educational content and games with appropriate parental guidance.

Contact forms, trial requests, and waitlist forms are intended for parents and guardians, or adults authorised to act on their behalf.

Please provide accurate information and only share a child's personal information where you are authorised to do so.

Website content

You are welcome to read the website, play the games, and share links to our pages.

Unless otherwise indicated, the text, photographs, illustrations, videos, design, and software are owned by Stay Chessy or used under permission or licence, to the extent protected by law.

Please obtain permission before republishing substantial parts of the website, redistributing teaching materials, or using our content commercially. You must not use the Stay Chessy name or branding in a way that falsely suggests our endorsement or affiliation.

These restrictions do not limit uses permitted by applicable law or rights granted by a third-party licence.

Use of AI tools

AI tools were used to assist with the design and development of this website and the creation of illustrations and some written content.

Third-party materials

Fonts, open-source software, and other third-party materials remain subject to their respective licences.

Copyright notices and licence details are available in Credits & Licenses. Those licences apply to the relevant components, not automatically to the entire website.

Games and exported images

The browser games are free and intended for learning and enjoyment.

Game progress may be lost when you leave or reload a page. Information remembered by your browser may also reset if you clear browser storage, switch devices, or use private browsing.

Shared counters are informational and may be corrected or reset. They are not a permanent record of an individual player's achievements.

You are welcome to save and share PNG or GIF exports of your own Knight's Tour games. This permission does not transfer ownership of the underlying artwork, branding, or software.

Acceptable use

Please use the website lawfully and respectfully. You must not:

• Attempt to access private information or systems without authorisation.
• Introduce malicious code or deliberately disrupt the website.
• Send spam, abusive messages, or fraudulent requests.
• Manipulate shared counters or use automated requests in a way that disrupts the service.
• Use the website or its content to mislead others or infringe their rights.

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse or protect the website and its visitors.

Enquiries and booking requests

Information about lessons and programmes is available to help families explore the options.

Sending an enquiry, requesting a free trial, or joining a waitlist does not commit you to paid lessons. A requested lesson time is confirmed when you receive confirmation from Stay Chessy.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information submitted through the website, technical information, and local browser storage.

External links and services

The website includes links to external websites and sharing services. Their own terms and privacy policies apply when you use them.

We do not control those services or their content. A link does not, by itself, mean that we endorse everything published on the linked website.

Availability and responsibility

We take reasonable care to keep the website accurate, useful, and available. However, errors, interruptions, and technical problems may occur. Free content and games may be updated or withdrawn.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of the website or free games.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, or restricts your mandatory consumer rights.

Accessibility

Our Accessibility Statement describes the website's accessibility features, known limitations, and how to request help.

If you cannot access information or use a form, please contact staychessy@gmail.com.

Applicable law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without depriving you of mandatory protections that apply under another applicable law.

Disputes may be brought before the competent courts in Israel, subject to any mandatory rules allowing you to bring a claim elsewhere.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms when the website or its features change. The date above identifies the latest version.

Updates apply prospectively and do not retrospectively remove rights that have already arisen. Additional notice or agreement will be provided where required by law.

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
