The rules, in plain language
Terms
These terms cover ByteCats, the Discord bot. Using it means accepting them.
What you get
The bot is offered as it is, free of charge. A paid plan with extra cosmetic features may be introduced later; if it is, the section on paying below applies to it. There is no guaranteed uptime: this is a small service run by one person, and it is honest to say so rather than to print a number nobody is holding themselves to.
Your account
A plan is tied to your Discord account. Keep access to it to yourself: one account per person, and do not share credentials.
What is not allowed
- Using the bot to break the law, or to store or distribute material that is illegal where you are.
- Harassment, or using the bot’s moderation tools to target somebody rather than to moderate.
- Attacking the service: overwhelming it, probing it for holes without permission, or trying to reach data that is not yours.
- Reselling access, or running the paid features for others on one plan.
- Automating the API in a way that degrades it for everybody else.
Accounts doing any of that can be suspended or closed. Where it is not obviously deliberate, you get told what the problem is and a chance to fix it first.
Paying, and stopping
No plan is on sale at the moment. If one is introduced, it belongs to an account, not to a Discord server, and you choose which servers it unlocks. Payment is by subscription through Stripe.
You can cancel at any time from Stripe’s billing portal, reachable from your profile. The plan then runs to the end of the period already paid for and stops renewing; the features switch off when it lapses. Refunds are not automatic, but if something went wrong, write and it will be looked at properly.
Prices can change. An increase applies from your next renewal and is announced before it takes effect, never applied silently.
Ending it
Removing the bot from a server removes the data it held for that server — the privacy policy says exactly what that is.
The service can be discontinued. If that happens, you get notice first.
Liability
The service is provided without warranty. Nothing here excludes liability for anything the law does not allow to be excluded — and if you are a consumer in the EU, your statutory rights apply whatever this page says.
Keep your own backups of anything you cannot afford to lose.
Law
These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you may bring proceedings in the courts of your own country of residence.
