Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Gameoverse ("we," "us," "our site"), including our website, live stream chat, Discord bot, game release calendar, built-in RPG feature, and Minecraft server. By using our site, you agree to these terms.
Using Our Site
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use our chat features.
- You're responsible for the content of any messages you post in chat, and for keeping access to your email account secure, since that's what signs you in.
- We may moderate, remove, or restrict access to chat messages or accounts that violate these terms or basic community standards (harassment, spam, illegal content, and similar).
Accounts
Signing in uses a one-time email link, with no password to create or manage. You're responsible for maintaining accurate account information and for all activity under your account.
Game Calendar & Third-Party Game Information
Our game release calendar aggregates publicly available information (release dates, screenshots, prices, and similar) from third-party sources, including RAWG, IGDB, IsThereAnyDeal, Steam, Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation. We do our best to keep this information accurate, but we don't guarantee its accuracy or completeness, and prices or release dates may change without notice on the actual storefronts. Purchase links take you to third-party stores; any purchase you make there is between you and that store, not us.
Big Screen & YouTube API Services
Our Big Screen feature embeds our own YouTube live stream and relays its public chat using the YouTube API Services. By using this feature, you're also agreeing to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service.
Discord Bot
If you choose to link your Discord account, you're also subject to Discord's own Terms of Service for anything that happens on Discord itself. You can unlink your Discord account at any time from your Account page.
Steam & RetroAchievements Linking
You may optionally link a Steam account and/or a RetroAchievements account to sync your public library, wishlist, and achievement progress into your Gameoverse profile. This requires that account to be publicly visible on that platform, or the sync won't be able to read your data. You're subject to that platform's own terms for your account there, and you can unlink and clear synced data at any time from your Account page.
Minecraft Server
Our Minecraft server requires a legitimate, Microsoft-authenticated Minecraft account to join. That authentication happens entirely between you and Microsoft/Mojang, not us, we are never given your Microsoft login credentials or any other Microsoft account information. Your use of Minecraft itself is separately governed by Minecraft's End User License Agreement and Microsoft's own policies, which we don't control. On our server specifically, you must verify your Discord account (or be vouched for by an already-verified player) before you can interact with the world, and we may mute, kick, or permanently ban any player, at our discretion, for violating server rules or these terms. Bans are final.
The RPG Feature
Our built-in idle RPG is provided for entertainment only. Any in-game currency, items, or progress have no real-world monetary value and can't be exchanged, sold, or transferred outside the site.
Disclaimer
Our site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee the site will always be available, error-free, or uninterrupted.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent revision. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
