<h1>Terms of Service</h1>
<p class="updated-date"><strong>Last Updated: 5/13/2026</strong></p>
<h2>1. Introduction</h2>
<p>
Welcome to OpenFront. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access
to and use of our website at https://openfront.io, our game clients
distributed via Steam, Crazy Games, and other platforms, and our Discord
bot (collectively, the "Service"). The Service is provided by OpenFront
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("OpenFront," "we," "our," "us"). By
accessing or using our Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
</p>
<h2>2. Definitions</h2>
<ul>
<li>
"Service" refers to our website, game clients (including those
distributed via Steam, Crazy Games, and other platforms), and Discord
bot functionality
</li>
<li>"Bot" refers specifically to our Discord bot application</li>
<li>"Website" refers to https://openfront.io</li>
<li>
"User," "you," and "your" refers to individuals who access or use our
Service
</li>
<li>"Discord" refers to Discord Inc. and its services</li>
<li>
"FFA" or "Free-for-All" refers to any game mode in which players are not
formally assigned to teams by the game and each player's stated
objective is to win individually
</li>
</ul>
<h2>3. Eligibility</h2>
<p>
You must be at least 13 years old to use our Service. If you are a
resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other
jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age for the processing of
personal data, you must be at least 16 years old, unless local law
provides for a lower age of digital consent (in which case you must meet
that age).
</p>
<p>
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age
requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these
Terms. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from
a user below the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to
delete that information and terminate the account.
</p>
<h2>4. Account Registration and Discord Integration</h2>
<p>
Our Service uses Discord for authentication. By accessing or using our
Service, you authorize us to access certain Discord account information,
including but not limited to your Discord ID, username, avatar, email
address, and Discord server memberships.
</p>
<p>
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Discord
account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your
account.
</p>
<h2>5. User Conduct</h2>
<p>When using our Service, you agree not to:</p>
<ul>
<li>
Use the Service in any way that violates any applicable laws or
regulations
</li>
<li>Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm another person or group</li>
<li>
Engage in hate speech or post content that is discriminatory, racist,
sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise targets a person or group
based on a protected characteristic
</li>
<li>
Post or transmit content that is sexually explicit, obscene, violent, or
that sexualises, endangers, or otherwise harms minors
</li>
<li>Impersonate another user, OpenFront staff, or any other person</li>
<li>Use our Service for unauthorized advertising or promotion</li>
<li>
Attempt to access areas of our Service that you are not authorized to
access
</li>
<li>
Interfere with or disrupt the Service or servers connected to the
Service
</li>
<li>
Exploit, distribute, or publicly inform other users of any error or bug
that gives an unintended advantage
</li>
<li>
Use any automated means or interface not provided by us to access our
Service
</li>
<li>Attempt to reverse engineer any portion of our Service</li>
</ul>
<h2>6. Fair Play and Competitive Integrity</h2>
<p>
OpenFront is a competitive multiplayer game and we take competitive
integrity seriously. In addition to the conduct rules in Section 5, you
agree not to engage in any of the following behaviours:
</p>
<h3>6.1 Offensive usernames and identifiers</h3>
<p>
You may not use any username, clan tag, flag, custom pattern, or other
identifier displayed in the Service that is hateful, harassing,
discriminatory, sexually explicit, threatening, that glorifies violence or
self-harm, that impersonates another person or entity (including OpenFront
staff, moderators, or well-known players), that promotes illegal activity,
or that is otherwise offensive. We reserve the right to force-rename
accounts, remove or revoke cosmetic items, or suspend accounts at our sole
discretion, with or without prior notice, where we consider an identifier
to fall within this prohibition.
</p>
<h3>6.2 Teaming and collusion in Free-for-All modes</h3>
<p>
In any FFA mode, you may not coordinate with other players to gain a
competitive advantage. Prohibited behaviour includes, without limitation:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Pre-arranged alliances or non-aggression pacts arranged outside the
match
</li>
<li>Sharing accounts or "hot-seating" between multiple people</li>
<li>
Deliberately feeding resources, territory, or units to another player,
other than in dedicated team game modes where shared resources and
cooperative play between teammates are an intended function of the mode
</li>
<li>
Using external communication channels (Discord, voice chat, livestreams,
co-watching, or any other out-of-game communication) to coordinate play
with other participants in the same FFA match
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In-game diplomacy — including truces, non-aggression, and betrayal —
negotiated during the course of a single match using in-game mechanics is
a normal part of OpenFront and is not prohibited. The prohibition in this
section is directed at sustained, pre-arranged, or externally-coordinated
play that defeats the purpose of an FFA mode.
</p>
<h3>6.3 Multi-accounting</h3>
<p>
You may not create, control, or use more than one account to participate
in the same match, to manipulate matchmaking, to evade a ban or other
moderation action, or otherwise to circumvent these Terms.
</p>
<h3>6.4 Rating and ranking manipulation</h3>
<p>
You may not engage in win-trading, account boosting, intentional losses
("throwing"), queue dodging, or any other behaviour designed to manipulate
competitive rankings, leaderboards, tournament results, or matchmaking,
whether for yourself or for another player.
</p>
<h3>6.5 Cheating and unauthorised modifications</h3>
<p>
You may not use, develop, distribute, or promote any cheat, bot, macro,
automation tool, modified client, memory editor, packet manipulation tool,
or any third-party software or technique that provides an unfair gameplay
advantage or alters the intended behaviour of the game.
</p>
<h3>6.6 Exploits</h3>
<p>
You may not knowingly exploit any bug, glitch, or unintended behaviour in
the Service. Suspected bugs must be reported to us privately via our
official GitHub repository or Discord server rather than exploited or
publicly weaponised.
</p>
<h3>6.7 Disruptive play</h3>
<p>
You may not engage in sustained behaviour intended to ruin the experience
for other players, including griefing, spawn-camping in violation of mode
rules, intentional AFK or idle play, chat spam, or coordinated harassment
of specific players.
</p>
<h3>6.8 Enforcement</h3>
<p>
We may, at our sole discretion and with or without prior notice, take any
of the following actions in response to a breach of these Terms, including
the rules in this Section 6: issue a warning; temporarily suspend an
account; permanently ban an account; force-rename an account; revoke,
remove, or refuse to deliver cosmetic items; reset or remove statistics,
ratings, or leaderboard entries; or take any other corrective action we
consider appropriate.
</p>
<p>
Enforcement actions may apply across all accounts that we reasonably
believe are controlled by, or operated on behalf of, the same person, and
across all platforms on which OpenFront is distributed (including the
website, Steam, Crazy Games, our Discord server, and our Discord bot).
Severe violations — including but not limited to cheating, the use or
distribution of unauthorised modifications, repeated offences after prior
warnings, or any behaviour that endangers minors — may result in an
immediate permanent ban without prior warning.
</p>
<h3>6.9 Appeals</h3>
<p>
If you believe an enforcement action against your account was made in
error, you may contact us at support@openfront.io within 30 days of the
action. We will review appeals in good faith but reserve the right to
maintain or modify any enforcement action at our sole discretion. We do
not commit to a specific response timeframe and our decision on an appeal
is final.
</p>
<h2>7. Public Profiles, Leaderboards and Display Names</h2>
<p>
Some features of the Service are public by design. By using the Service,
you acknowledge and agree that the following information may be displayed
publicly to other users and to non-users (including on the Website,
in-game, on Steam, on Crazy Games, in our Discord server, and on
third-party sites or applications that display OpenFront data):
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Player ID.</strong> Each account is assigned a unique,
persistent identifier ("Player ID"). Your Player ID may be displayed
publicly alongside your in-game activity and may be used to look up your
match history, statistics, and leaderboard position.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Display name.</strong> A display name associated with your
Player ID may be shown publicly. This may take the form of a custom
display name that you have set, your Discord username, or one or more of
the names you have most recently used in the Service. We may retain and
display a history of recent display names in order to deter ban evasion,
name spoofing, and impersonation, and to support fair play enforcement.
</li>
<li>
<strong>In-game activity.</strong> Match results, statistics, ratings,
leaderboard positions, cosmetic items in use, clan or team affiliations,
and similar gameplay information may be displayed publicly.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Your email address, Discord ID, IP address, payment information, and any
other identifying or contact information that you have not chosen to
display in-game will not be exposed publicly through this feature.
</p>
<p>
Display names remain subject to Section 6.1. We may force-rename, hide, or
replace display names that breach that section, and we may retain a record
of removed display names internally for moderation and enforcement
purposes.
</p>
<p>
If you do not wish to have your historical display names shown publicly
and would like to request that we display only your current name, please
contact us at support@openfront.io. We will assess such requests on a
case-by-case basis and reserve the right to decline where retention of
historical names is necessary for moderation, anti-evasion, or
anti-impersonation purposes.
</p>
<h2>8. Data Collection and Privacy</h2>
<p>
We collect and process personal information as described in our Privacy
Policy, which is incorporated by reference into these Terms. By using our
Service, you consent to our data practices as described in our Privacy
Policy, including our collection, use, and sharing of your information.
</p>
<h2>9. Content and Intellectual Property</h2>
<p>
All content available through our Service, including but not limited to
text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, and software, is the
property of OpenFront or our licensors and is protected by copyright,
trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
</p>
<h2>10. User-Generated Content</h2>
<p>
You retain ownership of any content you submit, post, or display on or
through our Service ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you
grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy,
modify, create derivative works based on, distribute, publicly display,
and publicly perform your User Content in connection with operating and
providing our Service.
</p>
<p>
You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit
your User Content and to grant the licence above, and that your User
Content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or other
rights of any third party and does not breach Sections 5 or 6 of these
Terms.
</p>
<h2>11. Service Modifications and Availability</h2>
<p>
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or
any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We will not be
liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or
discontinuance of the Service.
</p>
<p>
We do not guarantee that our Service will be available at all times. We
may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform
maintenance related to the Service, resulting in interruptions, delays, or
errors.
</p>
<h2>12. Limitation of Liability</h2>
<p>
To the maximum extent permitted by law, OpenFront and its affiliates,
officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors will not be liable
for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages,
including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or
other intangible losses, resulting from:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service
</li>
<li>Any conduct or content of any third party on the Service</li>
<li>Any content obtained from the Service</li>
<li>
Unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content
</li>
<li>
Any enforcement action taken under Section 6 of these Terms, including
any account suspension, ban, force-rename, or removal of cosmetic items,
statistics, or leaderboard entries
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In no event shall our aggregate liability for all claims relating to the
Service exceed one hundred dollars ($100).
</p>
<h2>13. Disclaimer of Warranties</h2>
<p>
The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without any
warranty of any kind, whether express or implied. We expressly disclaim
all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not
limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose, and non-infringement.
</p>
<h2>14. Discord's Terms and Conditions</h2>
<p>
Your use of Discord's services is also governed by Discord's Terms of
Service and Privacy Policy. Our Service does not override or modify any
terms and conditions that govern your use of Discord's services.
</p>
<h2>15. Termination</h2>
<p>
We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately,
without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including
without limitation if you breach these Terms.
</p>
<p>
A termination or suspension under this Section 15 may, at our sole
discretion, extend to all accounts and platforms that we reasonably
believe are controlled by, or operated on behalf of, the same person, and
to associated cosmetic items, statistics, ratings, and leaderboard
entries.
</p>
<h2>16. Changes to Terms</h2>
<p>
We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a
revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice
prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change
will be determined at our sole discretion.
</p>
<p>
By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become
effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
</p>
<h2>17. Governing Law</h2>
<p>
These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
</p>
<h2>18. Severability</h2>
<p>
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall
be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or, if
it cannot be so modified, shall be severed from these Terms. The remaining
provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
</p>
<h2>19. Entire Agreement</h2>
<p>
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies
expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement
between you and OpenFront with respect to the Service and supersede any
prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or understandings,
whether written or oral, relating to the Service.
