1. Who and what
These terms apply between you and Taleward.org, Benjamin Welk, Goldacker 7, 58675 Hemer, Germany, info@taleward.org, for the use of the Discord bot “Taleward”. The bot records game nights in Discord voice channels and delivers the audio tracks to your group’s Taleward server. That server has its own terms; Discord has its own terms.
2. Who may use the bot
You must be at least 16 years old. Whoever invites the bot to a Discord server or connects a campaign must be entitled to do so there.
3. Recording only with consent
The bot records only people who have consented themselves, each one for themselves. The bot enforces this technically; still, the game master makes sure everyone in the channel knows a recording is running and nobody is pushed into consenting. The bot shows the list of recorded people in the channel for the whole recording. If you do not want to be recorded, simply do nothing.
4. What you must not do
- use the bot to record people without their consent, for example through a second device or by circumventing consent;
- use recordings for anything other than what the group agreed;
- disrupt or overload the bot, or try to obtain other people’s data;
- violate Discord’s terms.
In case of violations we may disconnect the campaign from the Discord server and remove the bot from your Discord server.
5. What the bot can and cannot do
The bot is maintained to the best of our knowledge but without warranty. A recording may fail, have gaps or not arrive, for example during disruptions at Discord or at your group’s server. Do not rely on the bot alone for sessions that matter to you. We may change, pause or discontinue the bot; we do not deliberately end running recordings when doing so.
6. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, under the German Product Liability Act, and for injury to life, body or health. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of essential obligations without which use would not be possible, and only up to the typical, foreseeable damage. The bot is free of charge for you; beyond that we are not liable.
7. Costs
Using the bot is free of charge. Whether your group’s Taleward server charges for processing is up to its operator; the bot itself charges nothing.
8. Privacy
What the bot does with data is described in the privacy policy at https://taleward.taleward.org/discord-bot/datenschutz.
9. Changes and law
We may change these terms; the current version is at https://taleward.taleward.org/discord-bot/nutzungsbedingungen with its date. German law applies. For consumers, the mandatory provisions of the country they live in apply in addition.
