Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Stingbatbot (the "Bot"), a Discord bot for playing Shadowdark RPG. By inviting the Bot to a Discord server, or by using any of its commands, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Bot.

Eligibility

The Bot is a feature of the Discord platform and is subject to Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. You must meet Discord's minimum age requirement and be permitted to use Discord in your jurisdiction in order to use the Bot.

Description of Service

Stingbatbot provides Discord commands for playing Shadowdark RPG, including character management, dice rolling, combat tracking, and related gameplay utilities. The Bot is provided as-is and may be changed, expanded, or removed at any time without notice.

Acceptable Use

When using the Bot, you agree not to:

  • Violate Discord's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or any applicable law
  • Attempt to disrupt, overload, or abuse the Bot's commands or infrastructure
  • Attempt to access, probe, or interfere with data that does not belong to you
  • Use the Bot to harass, abuse, or harm another person or server
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, or exploit the Bot's commands for purposes other than normal gameplay use

A server administrator may remove the Bot from their server at any time. We may also restrict or block a user's or server's access to the Bot for violating these Terms.

Your Content and Data

Commands you run, and the character data you create or import, are stored by the Bot so it can provide its services. How that data is collected, used, and retained is described in our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms.

You are responsible for the content and accuracy of the character data and other information you submit to the Bot.

Third-Party Services

The Bot depends on third-party services to operate, including the Discord API and hosting/database services provided by Gigalixir. Your use of the Bot is also subject to the terms of those services. We are not responsible for outages, data loss, or other issues caused by third-party services outside our control.

Availability and Changes

The Bot is provided on a best-effort basis by an independent developer. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability and may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Bot or any of its features at any time, with or without notice.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stingbatbot and its developer are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, arising out of or related to your use of the Bot.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Bot, in whole or in part, at any time, for any reason, including violation of these Terms. You may stop using the Bot at any time by removing it from your server or ceasing to use its commands.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The latest version will always be available in our documentation. Continued use of the Bot after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
