Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By adding Scotch Egg ("the Bot") to your Discord server or using its features as a user, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Bot.

2. License & Open Source

Scotch Egg is open-source software licensed under the **GPLv3 License**. You are free to view, download, modify, self-host, and distribute the source code in accordance with the terms of the GPLv3 license.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Bot in compliance with Discord’s Developer Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Specifically, you agree not to:

  • Use the Bot to spam, harass, or maliciously ping server members.
  • Attempt to abuse the Discord API or disrupt services through the Bot's command execution.
  • Modify and deploy the Bot's code for illicit tracking, data harvesting, or violating user privacy guidelines.

4. Hosting & Service Uptime

Because the Bot is designed to be **self-hosted**, the hosting administrator is entirely responsible for maintaining the hosting machine, keeping database files safe, securing credentials, and maintaining bot connectivity. We provide no guarantee of the Bot's uptime, availability, or operational accuracy.

5. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Bot is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall the authors, developers, or copyright holders of the Bot be liable for any claim, damages, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from, out of, or in connection with the Bot or the use of the Bot.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Bot after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service.
