Services Covered
The MDA Discord bot, the staff dashboard, the appeals system, the public site and its leaderboard, and murderduelscomp.com.
Discord Relationship
MDA is not affiliated with Discord Inc. Discord is a trademark of Discord Inc. Using MDA also requires you to follow Discord's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and any other Discord platform rules that apply to you.
Server Staff Responsibility
Server owners and the staff they appoint decide how MDA is configured: which match types and divisions exist, who is allowed to host, who is restricted, and what gets published. They are responsible for configuring it lawfully and for being clear with their community about what is recorded and what is public.
Competitive Integrity
MDA exists to keep an accurate competitive record, so the following are not allowed:
- Submitting a result you know to be false, or confirming one.
- Faking, editing, cropping misleadingly, or reusing a screenshot as proof of a result.
- Playing on an account that is not yours, or linking a game account you do not own.
- Deliberately losing, stalling a match, or leaving to avoid a recorded loss.
- Using more than one Discord account to enter matches.
Staff may void matches, correct results, adjust standings, and restrict accounts in response to any of this.
Acceptable Use
You may not:
- Break Discord's rules, the law, or the rights of other people.
- Harass, threaten, dox, exploit or abuse anyone through MDA or the data it publishes.
- Spam, overload, probe, disrupt, or attempt to compromise MDA or the server it runs on.
- Bypass permissions, or access data you have not been given access to.
- Scrape the public site at a rate that degrades it for other people.
Results, Disputes and Appeals
Results are submitted and confirmed by the people who played, and reviewed by staff when they are disputed. Moderation and result decisions belong to the staff of the server the match was played in, and their decision is final there. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee a reply, a review, or a reversal.
Restrictions and Blacklists
Staff can stop an account from hosting or entering matches, with or without an expiry date. Where a server enables the appeals system, appeals against a restriction go through it.
The Public Record
Matches, results, rosters and standings are published on the website and are visible to anyone. By entering a match you accept that the match, your part in it, and its result become part of a public record.
Records are not removed because a player is unhappy with the outcome. What can be removed, and what will be anonymised instead of deleted, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
Dashboard Access
Dashboard access is granted by a server's administrators and is tied to your Discord account. Do not share it, and do not use it to reach data you were not given access to. Access can be withdrawn at any time by the server that granted it.
Availability and Changes
MDA is provided as it is and as it happens to be available. Features may be added, changed or removed, the service may be interrupted, and no level of uptime is promised.
Termination or Restrictions
Access to MDA can be limited or removed at any time, including for breaking these terms, for abusing the service, or for putting its infrastructure at risk. A server can remove MDA at any time.
No Warranties
MDA is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy of any record, or uninterrupted operation.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, MDA and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss, for lost or corrupted data, or for any loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service.
Privacy
What MDA collects, publishes and keeps is described in the MDA Privacy Policy.
Changes to These Terms
These terms may be updated as MDA changes. The effective date above will be updated when a material change is made.
