Terms & Conditions
- BTL Utilities is a moderation and community bot with a staff dashboard. Using it means following these terms and Discord’s own terms.
- Dashboard access is given by a server’s owner. Use it only for the legitimate moderation and management of that server, and keep what you see confidential.
- Moderation decisions are made by each server’s staff, not by us. Automated tools can make mistakes.
- The service is provided as it is, without guarantees, and we may change or stop parts of it.
- Questions: contact the staff of the Discord server where you use BTL Utilities, who can pass your message on to us.
These terms apply when you use the BTL Utilities Discord bot or the BTL Utilities dashboard (together, the “Service”), which are run by the BTL Utilities team (“we”, “us”). By adding BTL Utilities to a server, signing in to the dashboard, or otherwise using the Service you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Who may use the Service
You must be old enough to use Discord (at least 13, or older where local law requires) and able to form a binding agreement. If you accept these terms for a community or organisation, you confirm you have authority to do so. You must also follow Discord’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines; if these terms conflict with Discord’s, Discord’s apply to Discord’s own platform.
2. What the Service does
BTL Utilities provides moderation, logging, levelling, role and community tools for Discord servers, and a dashboard for configuring them. Which features are active in a server, and how they are configured, is decided by that server’s owner and staff. We may add, change or remove features at any time.
3. Dashboard access and your responsibilities
The dashboard is available only to people a server’s owner has approved. You sign in with your Discord account and are responsible for activity under it. Do not share your access or let others use it.
If you have dashboard access you may see personal information about members, such as user IDs, reports, notes and moderation history. You agree to:
- use that access only for the legitimate moderation and management of the server it was granted for;
- keep it confidential and not share, publish or misuse it (including in screenshots);
- act fairly and within the law, and within the limits of the permissions you were given.
Server owners are responsible for who they grant access to, for configuring BTL Utilities lawfully, and for telling their members what is collected and why where the law requires it.
4. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service to harass, threaten, discriminate against or harm anyone, or to break the law or Discord’s rules;
- try to gain access you have not been given, bypass permission checks or rate limits, or probe, attack or overload the Service;
- scrape or collect data from the Service (including the public leaderboard) in bulk, or use it to build profiles of people;
- reverse engineer, copy or resell the Service, except where the law allows;
- upload or link to unlawful, abusive or infringing content, or content that is not yours to use.
5. Your content
Some features let members add content, such as rank card bio text and background image links, or custom role names and icons. You are responsible for what you add and must have the right to use it. You give us permission to store, display and process it as needed to provide the Service. Server staff and we may reject, edit or remove content that breaks these terms or a server’s rules.
6. Moderation and automated actions
BTL Utilities can warn, mute, kick, ban, delete messages and take other actions based on rules a server’s staff set up. Those decisions and rules belong to the server, not to us. Automated tools can be wrong. If you disagree with an action, contact that server’s staff; we are not able to reverse or review a server’s moderation decisions.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how it is used. By using the Service you acknowledge it.
8. Availability and changes
We aim to keep the Service running but do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at any particular time. We may change, suspend or discontinue all or part of it, with or without notice, for example for maintenance, security or because Discord changes its platform.
9. Discord and other third parties
The Service depends on Discord and other third-party services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their availability, content or actions. Links to other sites are provided for convenience only.
10. Ownership
The Service, including its software, design and branding, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We give you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use it in line with these terms. Nothing here transfers ownership of the Service to you, and you keep ownership of your own content.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including about fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, reliability, or that the Service will meet your needs or that moderation tools will catch or correctly judge every message or user.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill or community, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the claim (which, if the Service is free, is zero). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
13. If you break these terms
If your use of the Service breaches these terms or the law, and that leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover our reasonable losses from it, to the extent the law allows.
14. Suspension and ending
We may restrict, suspend or end your access, or remove BTL Utilities from a server, if you break these terms, put people or the Service at risk, or where we are required to by law or by Discord. You may stop using the Service at any time: sign out, and server owners can remove the bot from their server. Sections that by their nature should continue to apply after that (such as ownership, disclaimers and liability) will continue to apply.
15. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will change the “Last updated” date above, and where a change is significant we will tell server staff through the dashboard or Discord. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
16. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws that apply where we operate, and courts there have jurisdiction over any dispute, except where mandatory consumer law in your country gives you the right to bring a claim elsewhere.
17. Contact
Questions about these terms: contact the staff of the Discord server where you use BTL Utilities, who can pass your message on to us. Operator: the BTL Utilities team.
