Terms of Service

By accessing or using The Jokers (the-jokers.com), you agree to these Terms of Service. Please read them carefully before using the site.

1. Use of the Site

The Jokers is a free joke directory for personal, non-commercial enjoyment. You may browse, share, and link to jokes for any lawful purpose. You may not scrape, copy, or republish our content in bulk without written permission.

You must be at least 13 years old to use this site. By using The Jokers you confirm that you meet this requirement.

2. Content & Intellectual Property

The joke text, category descriptions, guide articles, and original images on this site are owned by The Jokers or used with permission. Traditional or public-domain jokes are presented in our own editorial format — our categorisation, tagging, and writing are our own work.

You may quote individual jokes for personal use, social sharing, or commentary, provided you credit The Jokers and link back to the original page. Reproducing our articles or guides without permission is not allowed.

3. User-Submitted Jokes

When you submit a joke through our submission form, you grant The Jokers a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to publish, edit, categorise, and display that joke on the site. We reserve the right to reject, edit, or remove any submission at our discretion.

By submitting a joke you confirm that it does not infringe any third party's copyright, is not defamatory, and does not include personal or confidential information about any individual.

4. Affiliate Links & Advertising

The Jokers participates in affiliate programmes including Zazzle. Some links on this site — particularly in the Merch Shop — are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking through. This comes at no extra cost to you.

We also display third-party advertising. Advertisers are independent of The Jokers and we are not responsible for the content of their ads or the products and services they offer.

In accordance with FTC guidelines, affiliate and sponsored content is disclosed on the relevant pages and throughout the site footer.

5. Disclaimers

The content on this site is provided for entertainment purposes only. Jokes are presented as-is and we make no warranties about their accuracy, suitability for any particular audience, or fitness for any specific use.

The Jokers is not responsible for any offence caused by joke content or any reliance placed on our guides or articles. Use your own judgement about what is appropriate for your audience.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Jokers and its operators are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, including any errors or interruptions in service.

7. Links to External Sites

The Jokers may link to third-party websites. We have no control over those sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or availability. A link does not imply endorsement.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when they were last revised. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

9. Contact

If you have any questions about these Terms, please reach out via our About page.
