Terms of Service

Effective date: 15 April 2026  ·  Last updated: 15 April 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By using the Gamely Discord bot, the Gamely web application, or any associated service (collectively, "the Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

2. The Services

Gamely provides:

• Bot A Discord bot offering trivia, trading, and puzzle games accessible via Discord commands
• Web A browser-based web interface offering the same games via a REST API, with optional Discord authentication

Both interfaces share a single player database. Points earned on one interface count toward your shared total and appear on the same leaderboard.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to use the Services. By using the Services you represent that you meet this requirement.

Use of the Services requires a Discord account. Discord's own Terms of Service apply to your Discord account independently of these Terms.

4. User Accounts and Authentication

4.1 Discord Bot

Access is provided through your Discord identity within a Discord server. You do not create a separate account for the bot. Your Discord user ID is used as your player identifier.

4.2 Web Interface

You may use the web interface anonymously (gameplay is enabled but progress is not saved), or you may log in via Discord OAuth2. When you log in:

• We issue a JWT (JSON Web Token) stored in your browser's localStorage
• The token expires after 24 hours; you will need to log in again to continue saving progress
• You are responsible for the security of your device and browser session

We reserve the right to invalidate sessions at any time for security or operational reasons.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Automate gameplay to farm points (bots, macros, scripted API calls)
• Exploit bugs to gain points unfairly; report bugs instead via our Discord
• Attempt to access, modify, or delete other users' data
• Reverse-engineer the Services for purposes other than personal study
• Use the Services in any way that violates Discord's Terms of Service
• Harass, impersonate, or harm other users
• Circumvent rate limits or other access controls

Violations may result in removal of points, suspension of your player record, or a ban from the Discord server, at our sole discretion.

6. Intellectual Property

All code, design, game logic, and content within the Services (excluding user-generated content and third-party data) is owned by Gamely's operators. You may not copy, redistribute, or create derivative works without prior written permission.

News article summaries and financial data used in game questions are sourced from public or licensed data providers and are used solely for educational/entertainment purposes within the platform. We make no claim of ownership over such third-party content.

7. Points, Leaderboards, and Rewards

• Points have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash
• Points may be awarded, adjusted, or reset at our discretion (e.g., to correct exploits or for seasonal resets)
• Leaderboard rankings are for community recognition only
• Where giveaways or prizes are offered, they are governed by the supplemental terms in Section 13 and any event-specific announcement

8. Availability and Modifications

The Services are provided on a best-effort basis. We do not guarantee continuous availability, and the Services may be taken offline for maintenance, updates, or at any time without notice.

We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue any feature or the Services as a whole at any time. Game rules (e.g., points per correct answer, question limits per window) may be adjusted and will take effect immediately upon deployment.

Web In-memory game sessions (e.g., active TradeRun rounds) may be lost on server restart. No compensation is offered for interrupted sessions.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Gamely is an unincorporated community project with no legal personality. There is no company, LLC, or other registered entity behind it — it is maintained by individual volunteers. You use the Services on that understanding, and you agree not to bring legal proceedings against any individual contributor, operator, or community member in connection with your use of the Services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the individual operators and contributors of Gamely shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Services, including but not limited to loss of data, points, or game progress.

News summaries and financial data presented within games are for entertainment and educational purposes only and must not be relied upon as financial, investment, or professional advice.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the primary operator is resident, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes will be resolved through good-faith negotiation in the first instance; unresolved disputes may be escalated to the competent courts of that jurisdiction.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Significant changes will be announced in the Gamely Discord server. Continued use of the Services following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Supplemental Terms — Fixed Time Points Giveaway

Giveaway These supplemental terms govern any "Fixed Time Points Giveaway" event run by Gamely. Where these terms conflict with the general Terms above, these supplemental terms prevail for giveaway matters.

13.1 Eligibility

• Open to all Gamely players who have an active player record at the time of the event
• Must be a member of the Gamely Discord server to receive prize notifications
• Employees and immediate family members of the operators are excluded
• Void where prohibited by local law

13.2 How It Works

During a designated giveaway window, players who earn points through normal gameplay on any supported game (bot or web interface) contribute to their giveaway entry. The specific window dates, eligible games, and prize structure will be announced per-event in the Discord server.

• Points must be earned legitimately — no exploits, automation, or point manipulation
• Points earned before or after the announced window do not count toward that giveaway
• Giveaway points are separate from your persistent leaderboard total; the leaderboard is unaffected

13.3 Prize Selection and Notification

• Winners are selected by the method published with each event announcement (e.g., random draw weighted by giveaway points, or top-N players)
• Winners will be notified via a Discord announcement and/or direct message
• Winners must respond within 7 days of notification or forfeit the prize
• We reserve the right to verify identity and gameplay legitimacy before awarding prizes

13.4 Prizes

• Prizes are non-transferable and have no cash alternative unless explicitly stated
• Digital prizes (e.g., gift cards, Discord Nitro codes) will be delivered via Discord DM
• We are not responsible for technical issues on the recipient's end affecting prize redemption
• Prize values and types will be specified in the event announcement; we reserve the right to substitute prizes of equal or greater value

13.5 Disqualification

We may disqualify any participant who, in our sole judgement:

• Violates the Acceptable Use policy in Section 5
• Earns giveaway points through exploits, automation, or collusion
• Provides false or misleading information
• Engages in behaviour harmful to the community during the event period

13.6 Data Use

We will use your Discord username and in-server name solely to administer the giveaway and deliver prizes. No additional personal information will be collected. Giveaway entry data is deleted within 30 days of the event close. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

13.7 Liability

Gamely's operators accept no liability for lost, misdirected, or delayed prize delivery. Participation constitutes acceptance of these supplemental terms and the general Terms of Service.
