Terms of Service

1What the Bot Is

Hex ("the Bot") is a Discord bot that provides (a) a set of persistent, text-and-image role-playing "spin" games (character creation, missions, duels, tournaments, towers, expeditions, seasonal rankings, factions and related features), and (b) on the operator's own community server only, optional moderation tools (AI-assisted message review, onboarding questionnaires, staff sanction review, message relay). The Bot is a hobby project provided free of charge.

2Eligibility

You must comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, including Discord's minimum age requirement. The Bot is not intended for anyone below that age. Accounts that are very new may be refused access to some features as an anti-abuse measure.

3Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• exploit bugs, automate gameplay, use scripts, self-bots or multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage, or help others do so;
• attempt to overload, disrupt, reverse-engineer or attack the Bot or its hosting;
• use the character, portrait or free-text features to create or request illegal content, sexual content involving minors, hate speech, harassment, or content that violates Discord's rules;
• harass other players through the Bot's features (duels, tournaments, missions, etc.).

We may restrict, reset or remove any account, character or server from the Bot, at any time and without notice, for violations or to protect the service.

4Game Content and Virtual Items

Everything in the games (characters, stats, credits, items, titles, ranks, seasons) is virtual, has no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold or exchanged for real money, and belongs to no one. Seasons may be reset, rebalanced, renamed or ended at any time. Characters can die, be lost or be wiped by design or by maintenance. We do not guarantee that progress will be kept.

Names, settings and themes drawn from existing franchises (anime, manga, novels, etc.) belong to their respective owners. The Bot is an unofficial, non-commercial fan project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

5AI-Generated Content

Portraits and some text are generated with third-party AI services. Results are automatic, may be inaccurate or unexpected, and are provided as-is. You are responsible for the prompts and descriptions you submit. We may remove generated content at our discretion.

6Moderation Features (Operator's Server Only)

On the operator's community server, messages in monitored channels may be analysed by AI to detect rule violations. Automated actions are limited to deleting a message and applying a timeout, and are subject to human review. Bans are only ever issued manually by staff. AI analysis can be wrong; decisions can be appealed to the server's staff.

7Availability and Changes

The Bot is provided "as is" and "as available", with no warranty of any kind. It may go offline, lose data, change or be shut down at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable for any loss or damage resulting from its use or unavailability, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

8Server Administrators

Server owners and managers who add the Bot are responsible for ensuring their members are informed that the Bot is present. The Bot may create a category and text channels on its own (this requires the Manage Channels permission) and may post in them. Removing the Bot from a server stops all activity there.

9Termination

You can stop using the Bot at any time. You can ask for your data to be deleted (see the Privacy Policy). We may suspend or ban any user or server from the Bot at any time.

10Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. The "Last updated" date shows the current version. Continued use of the Bot after a change means you accept the new Terms.

11Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Belgium, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where mandatory consumer law of your country applies.

12Contact

For any question or request regarding these Terms, contact the Bot's operator on Discord via the Bot's support/community server: https://discord.gg/VQvFTrbdz6.
