Terms of Service

Effective date: 13 October 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and the Aphrodisia team (“we”, “us”, “our”). They govern your use of the Aphrodisia Discord application (“Aphrodisia”, “the Bot”), this website, and the related support channels (together, “the Service”). By adding the Bot to a server, using any of its commands or features, or otherwise using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is part of these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility

To use the Service, you must:

• meet the minimum age to use Discord in your country, which is at least 13;
• be able to enter into this agreement, or have permission from a parent or guardian who accepts these Terms for you;
• follow Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines;
• not be barred from using the Service under any applicable law, and not have been previously banned from it by us.

3. The service

Aphrodisia provides roleplay and community features for Discord servers. The Service is currently free. If we introduce optional paid features in the future, separate terms will be shown before you buy anything, and these Terms will continue to apply. We may add, change, limit or remove any feature at any time.

4. Server administrators

If you add the Bot to a server or manage its settings, you confirm that you have the authority to do so. You are also responsible for:

• configuring the Bot appropriately for your community, including where its features and mature content are allowed;
• moderating content that members create with the Bot in your server, as you would any other content;
• making sure your server's use of the Bot follows Discord's rules and the law.

The Bot asks for the Discord permissions its features need to work. It uses these permissions only to provide the Service.

5. Your content

• Ownership. You keep all rights to what you submit through the Bot, such as text, images and links (“Your Content”).
• Licence to us. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce and display Your Content. This licence is only for running and improving the Service, for example to display it back to you or your server. It ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, except for copies that other users have already received or posted on Discord, which we cannot control.
• Your responsibility. You are solely responsible for Your Content. You confirm that you have all the rights it needs, and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or break the law, Discord's rules or these Terms.
• No monitoring duty. We do not review Your Content before it is posted and are not obliged to monitor it. However, we may remove any content that we reasonably believe breaks these Terms.

6. Acceptable use

You must not use the Service, or help anyone else use it, to:

• harass, bully, threaten, stalk, dox, intimidate or harm anyone, or encourage self-harm or violence;
• post or link to content that is illegal, hateful or discriminatory, or that infringes someone else's intellectual property or privacy;
• post any sexual content involving minors, or sexualise minors in any way. This includes fictional characters who are, or are portrayed as, under 18;
• share non-consensual intimate imagery, or another person's private information without their permission;
• spread malware, phishing links, scams or spam, or run unauthorised advertising;
• impersonate real people, Discord staff, server staff or other users, or mislead others about who you are in a way that causes harm;
• evade a ban, mute or other moderation action, in a server or on Discord;
• manipulate scores, rankings or other features using alternate accounts, automation, trading or coordinated abuse;
• flood or overload the Bot, exploit bugs, or interfere with its operation or infrastructure;
• reverse engineer the Bot, or try to gain unauthorised access to it or to its data;
• scrape, harvest or bulk-collect data through the Bot;
• break any law, or Discord's Terms of Service or Community Guidelines.

If you find a security vulnerability, please report it to us privately rather than exploiting it.

7. Pseudonyms and characters

• Pseudonymous, not anonymous. Some features hide your account from other members, for example by showing a pseudonym or a character instead. However, Discord knows who sent each message, and we may be able to link a pseudonym back to its account. We may do so to investigate a breach of these Terms, to respond to a valid legal request, or to protect someone's safety. These features are not a way to escape accountability.
• You are responsible for what your characters say. Anything posted under a character or a pseudonym is treated as posted by you.
• No real people. Characters must not impersonate real, identifiable people without their consent. Characters may be inspired by fictional works, but you remain responsible for respecting the rights of those works' owners.
• Server rules apply. Server staff may decide where these features can be used, and may moderate content posted through them.

8. Mature content

Roleplay can involve mature themes. Sexually explicit or graphic content may be shared through the Bot only in channels marked age-restricted on Discord, and only where Discord's rules and the server's rules allow it. It must never involve minors. Server administrators are responsible for configuring their servers to meet these requirements.

9. Reporting abuse and copyright

To report misuse of the Bot, or content you believe infringes your rights, contact us using the details in section 22. Please include:

• the server, a link to the message (or a description of it), and what is wrong;
• for copyright complaints, proof that you own the rights, or are authorised to act for the owner.

Content posted on Discord can also be reported directly to Discord Trust & Safety. We may remove reported content and take the actions described in section 10.

10. Enforcement

If we reasonably believe that you or a server has broken these Terms or Discord's rules, or that action is needed to protect users, us or the Service, we may take any of the following actions. Where reasonably possible, we will act proportionately:

• remove content and associated data;
• restrict features for you or the server;
• block the user or server from the Bot, temporarily or permanently;
• remove the Bot from a server;
• report the matter to Discord or the relevant authorities.

You must not get around a restriction, for example by using another account. If you believe an action was a mistake, you can appeal through the support server.

11. Our intellectual property

We or our licensors own the Aphrodisia name, logo, software, website and documentation. We give you a personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Bot through Discord, as intended and in line with these Terms. These Terms grant you no other rights.

12. Feedback

If you send us ideas, suggestions or bug reports, we may use them freely, without any obligation or payment to you. This does not give us ownership of Your Content.

13. Discord and third parties

The Bot runs on Discord and depends on Discord's platform and API, which we do not control. Aphrodisia is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc. Links and media that users share may lead to third-party websites. We are not responsible for third-party services, content or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.

14. Availability and data loss

We run the Service on a best-effort basis. It may be slow, unavailable or interrupted, for example during maintenance, outages, changes to Discord or events outside our control. We do not guarantee that data will be preserved or backed up. Keep your own copy of anything important, such as long pieces of writing. We may suspend or permanently discontinue the Service at any time. Where reasonably possible, we will give notice in the support server first.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory. These include warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, and that the Service will be secure or error-free. We do not endorse, and are not responsible for, any content users create, share or display through the Bot.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages. Nor will we be liable for any loss of data, goodwill, profits or revenue, or for any conduct or content of users or third parties, arising from or related to the Service. This applies whatever the legal theory, even if we were told such damages were possible.

Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or (b) USD 50.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited, such as liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence. Nor does it affect rights you have as a consumer that cannot be waived.

17. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify us and hold us harmless against any claims, damages, losses and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from:

• Your Content;
• your use or misuse of the Service;
• your breach of these Terms;
• your violation of any law or anyone's rights.

18. Termination

You can stop using the Service at any time. To do so, remove the Bot from your server or stop using its commands. You can also ask us to delete your data, as described in the Privacy Policy. We may suspend or end your access as described in section 10. Some sections continue to apply after these Terms end: 5 (licence to us, only until deletion), 7, 11, 12 and 15 to 21.

19. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, and will change the effective date when we do. We will announce material changes in the support server, giving reasonable notice before they take effect where possible. If you keep using the Service after changes take effect, you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

20. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws that apply where the Service is operated, without regard to rules on conflict of laws. Before starting any formal proceedings, please contact us and give us 30 days to try to resolve the matter informally. If you are a consumer, this does not take away any mandatory protections, or your right to bring a claim in the courts where you live, under the laws of your country of residence.

21. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be limited only as much as necessary, and the rest of these Terms remain in effect.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision, we have not waived our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may transfer ours, for example if the Bot moves to a new operator.
• Force majeure. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• No relationship. These Terms do not create any partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and us.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. If a translation conflicts with the English version, the English version applies.
