Clear terms for a compact Discord product.

1. Acceptance and Scope

By inviting Babblebox to a Discord server, using its commands or interfaces, or browsing the Babblebox website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the website or the bot.

If you use Babblebox on behalf of a server, community, organization, or moderation team, you are responsible for ensuring that you are authorized to install and configure the bot in that context.

2. Service Description

Babblebox is an open-source Discord bot designed around a small set of product lanes rather than an all-purpose platform. Depending on feature availability, permissions, and server configuration, Babblebox may provide party games, Daily Arcade challenges, Buddy and profile surfaces, private-first utilities, and optional admin-facing Shield or lifecycle helpers.

Babblebox may add, remove, limit, or adjust features at any time, especially where changes are needed for reliability, safety, abuse prevention, infrastructure constraints, or Discord platform changes.

3. Eligibility and Lawful Use

You may use Babblebox only in compliance with applicable law, Discord's terms and policies, and these Terms. You may not use Babblebox where doing so would be unlawful or where you lack authority to use the relevant Discord account, guild, role, or channel.

Babblebox is not intended for emergency services, life-safety use, or any environment where interruption, delay, false positives, missed detections, or message-delivery failure could create high-risk consequences.

4. User Responsibilities

When using Babblebox, you are responsible for your own conduct, commands, submissions, and the Discord context in which you use the bot.

• Use Babblebox only for legitimate server participation, moderation, entertainment, or personal utility use.
• Do not rely on Babblebox as your only copy of important information, media, reminders, moderation evidence, or server records.
• Do not attempt to break rate limits, flood features, bypass safety checks, exploit bugs, or interfere with other users' access.
• Do not use Babblebox to collect, expose, or redistribute personal information or message content in ways that violate law, server rules, or Discord rules.
• You remain responsible for any text, links, attachments, or custom inputs you submit through the bot.

5. Server Admin Responsibilities

If you install or administer Babblebox in a server, you are responsible for how it is configured and where it is allowed to operate.

• Install Babblebox only if you have authority to manage that server or feature area.
• Review and set Discord permissions, channel access, command visibility, log destinations, trusted roles, and exclusions responsibly.
• Use moderation, logging, review, or follow-up features only in ways consistent with your server's rules and any legal obligations you may have.
• Review custom templates, allowlists, phrases, role targets, and other admin-configured content before enabling them.
• Keep in mind that some bot output is intentionally public-friendly while some flows are private-first; your own server configuration can still affect visibility.

6. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

Babblebox may not be used for abusive, deceptive, or unlawful behavior. Prohibited misuse includes, without limitation:

• harassment, stalking, threats, hateful conduct, or attempts to target protected groups
• doxxing, privacy invasion, or unauthorized monitoring of users or servers
• spam, scams, phishing, malware distribution, malicious link campaigns, or deceptive invite promotion
• using the bot to facilitate illegal content, illegal transactions, or unlawful coordination
• attempting to reverse engineer, overload, disrupt, or degrade the service beyond normal open-source inspection or legitimate bug reporting
• using Babblebox to evade moderation, bans, suspensions, or platform restrictions

Babblebox may limit, block, or terminate use connected to abusive or high-risk behavior, even if a specific misuse pattern is not listed above.

7. Media, Message Templates, and Custom Content

Some Babblebox features work with message links, attachment references, reminder text, AFK text, Watch keywords, Moment Card sources, or administrator-supplied templates and moderation settings. That does not make Babblebox a general media host, backup service, or permanent record system.

Your content and configuration

• You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and appropriateness of the content or configuration you submit through Babblebox.
• You must have the necessary rights or permission to use content, links, attachments, names, branding, or other materials you surface through the bot.
• Server admins are responsible for custom moderation templates, allowlists, role actions, and channel routing they configure.

Feature limits

• Babblebox may truncate, sanitize, reject, or stop processing content that is unsafe, abusive, oversized, unavailable, deleted, or incompatible with the feature.
• Moment Cards, Capture, and similar features depend on real Discord messages, message links, and attachment availability at the time of use.
• Babblebox does not guarantee that attachments, previews, templates, or custom content will remain available, render identically, or be preserved long term.

8. Availability, Uptime, and Third-Party Dependencies

Babblebox is offered on a best-effort basis. Availability is not guaranteed, and features may be interrupted, degraded, delayed, or unavailable because of platform limits, infrastructure issues, message deletion, restart windows, permission changes, or third-party outages.

9. Privacy

Babblebox's data handling practices are described in the Privacy Policy. That policy explains what the bot may access, what compact feature state it may store, and the limits designed to avoid turning Babblebox into a broad archive.

By using Babblebox, you acknowledge that the service necessarily interacts with Discord content, metadata, and permissions within the scopes where the bot is invited and allowed to operate.

10. Intellectual Property and Branding

The Babblebox codebase, website presentation, product name, logo, branding, and original bot materials remain the property of their respective owner or licensor, except where open-source license terms explicitly provide otherwise. These Terms do not transfer ownership of Babblebox or its branding to you.

Subject to these Terms, you may use Babblebox as intended inside Discord. You may not present yourself as the owner of Babblebox, misrepresent an official relationship, or use Babblebox branding in a misleading way.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

Babblebox is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the fullest extent permitted by law. No warranty is made that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, available at any particular time, or fit for any specific business, moderation, archival, or compliance purpose.

Babblebox does not warrant that all content will be detected, all reminders will be delivered, all moderation outcomes will be correct, or all outputs will remain available after deletions, platform changes, or outages.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Babblebox and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, server disruption, moderation disputes, or content loss arising out of or related to your use of the website or the bot.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the total aggregate liability for claims arising out of Babblebox will not exceed the amounts you paid, if any, for the service during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

13. Suspension, Removal, and Termination

Babblebox may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website, bot, or specific features if use appears abusive, unlawful, high-risk, incompatible with Discord platform rules, or harmful to the service or other users.

• Server owners and administrators may remove Babblebox from their server at any time.
• Babblebox may disable features or stop responding in certain servers or contexts if misuse or safety concerns arise.
• Some compact stored state may persist temporarily until ordinary cleanup, expiry, or deletion flows run.

14. Changes to These Terms

These Terms may be updated when Babblebox changes materially, when legal or platform requirements shift, or when the operating model needs to be clarified. When the Terms are updated, the date at the top of this page will be revised.

Continued use of Babblebox after an updated version is posted means you accept the revised Terms.
