Spin and Wheel for Slack — Terms of Service
Last updated: November 13, 2026
These terms apply to the Spin and Wheel Slack app (the /spinandwheel slash command, the “App”), provided by Spin and Wheel, operated from Ukraine (“we”, “us”). The website spinandwheel.com is covered by the website terms and conditions. By installing or using the App, you agree to these terms. If you install the App for a Slack workspace, you confirm that you are allowed to do so on behalf of that workspace and its owner.
1. The App
The App picks a random winner, a random order, random teams or a random number from the entries you type after /spinandwheel, and posts the result in the Slack conversation. It is free, has no paid plan and needs no account. It asks Slack for one permission only: adding the slash command.
2. Who may use it
You must be allowed to use Slack under Slack’s terms and your workspace’s rules, and be at least 18 years old or the minimum age required in your country to agree to these terms. Your use of Slack itself stays governed by Slack’s terms and your agreement with your workspace owner.
3. Acceptable use
Do not use the App to:
- post unlawful, harassing, hateful or misleading content, or personal data you are not allowed to share;
- run gambling, lotteries or prize draws that break the law where you or the participants are;
- send automated or excessive requests, try to get around rate limits, or interfere with the App, its servers or other users;
- reverse engineer, copy or resell the App, or use it to build a competing service;
- make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on people (for example hiring, firing, grades or credit) solely based on a random result.
4. Your entries and results
The names and other entries you type stay yours. You give us permission to process them only to work out the result, post it to your Slack conversation and draw the wheel image. We do not store them; the privacy policy explains exactly what we process and keep. You are responsible for what you type and for having the right to post it in the conversation. We do not review or moderate entries or results and are not responsible for content that users post with the App.
5. Randomness, giveaways and decisions
Every result comes from a cryptographically secure random number generator, and each entry has the same chance. Random results can still repeat or look uneven over a few draws.
- We are not the organizer of your draws. If you use the App for a giveaway, contest, raffle or any draw with prizes, you are its sole organizer and sponsor. You are responsible for its rules, for any registration, permits or taxes it requires, for announcing how winners are picked, for delivering prizes and for keeping your own record of the result. We are not a party to it and have no obligation to participants.
- Results are not advice. A result is a random pick to help you decide, not a recommendation. You are responsible for the decisions you make with it.
- Results are final as posted. We cannot redo, change or confirm a past result, because we do not store results.
6. Availability and changes
We provide the App free of charge and may change, limit or stop it, or any of its features, at any time. Requests are rate-limited to keep the service available for everyone. We will try to announce major changes on this page or the Spin and Wheel for Slack page, but we do not promise that the App will always be available, on time or free of errors.
7. Third-party services
The App runs inside Slack and on Amazon Web Services. Slack’s availability, features and handling of your messages are outside our control and covered by Slack’s own terms and privacy policy. We are not responsible for third-party services, including links to other websites.
8. Intellectual property and feedback
The App, its code, the Spin and Wheel name, logo and wheel design belong to us. These terms give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the App in your Slack workspaces while these terms apply. Slack is a trademark of Slack Technologies, LLC; the App is not made or endorsed by Slack. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely, without any obligation to you.
9. Ending your use
You can stop using the App at any time by removing it from your workspace (Tools & settings → Manage apps → Spin and Wheel → Remove app). We may block or stop serving any workspace or user, without notice, if they break these terms, if the law requires it, or if they put the App or others at risk. Sections 4, 5, 8 and 10 to 14 continue to apply after you stop using the App.
10. No warranty
The App is provided “as is” and “as available”, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the extent the law allows.
11. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from the App, from its unavailability or from decisions, draws or giveaways you run with it. Our total liability for all claims about the App is limited to 100 USD. Nothing in these terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability or consumer right that cannot be limited by law.
12. Indemnity
If you use the App for a business or on behalf of an organization, you and that organization will defend and indemnify us against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by third parties that arise from your entries, from your breach of these terms or the law, or from any draw, giveaway or contest you run with the App. This section does not apply to consumers to the extent the law where they live does not allow it.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of Ukraine, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. If you have a concern, please contact us first so we can try to solve it informally within 30 days. Disputes that cannot be solved this way go to the competent courts of Ukraine. If you are a consumer in the European Union or elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live and may bring a claim before its courts.
14. General
- Sanctions. You may not use the App if you are located in, or act for a person in, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions by Ukraine, the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United States, or if you are on a sanctions list of any of them.
- Events outside our control. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of Slack or our hosting provider, network failures, war, attacks or natural disasters.
- Transfer. We may transfer these terms to a company that takes over the App. You may not transfer your rights under them without our written consent.
- Whole agreement. These terms and the privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the App. If any part is found invalid, the rest stays in force, and the invalid part is applied as far as the law allows. If we do not enforce a right, we do not give it up.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms by posting a new version on this page and changing the “Last updated” date. For a material change, we will try to give notice on this page at least 14 days before it takes effect, unless the change is required by law or fixes a security or abuse problem. If you keep using the App after a change takes effect, the updated terms apply. If you do not agree, remove the App from your workspace.
