Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using ReplayCore ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

ReplayCore provides a Minecraft replay recording, cloud hosting, and playback platform for Minecraft servers and networks. The Service includes a server plugin, cloud storage, and a web-based playback interface.

3. User Obligations

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes; not attempt to circumvent any security measures; not use the Service to distribute malware or harmful content; and maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials.

4. Payment and Billing

Access to the Service requires a paid subscription. Billing occurs on a recurring basis as specified at the time of purchase. All fees are non-refundable except as set out in our Refund Policy.

5. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality, including the server plugins and recorders, the in-browser replay viewer, the cloud platform, the .replaycore recording format, and all related source code, object code, designs, text, graphics, and assets, are owned by ForgeVector Software Limited and its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright, database, trade mark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

ForgeVector Software Limited retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Service and its underlying technology. Except for the limited right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, no licence or other right is granted to you, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. You retain ownership of replay data originating from your server.

6. Prohibited Conduct and Protection of Intellectual Property

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except where such restriction is expressly prohibited by law (for example, where applicable law confers a non-excludable right to obtain interoperability information), you must not, and must not permit or assist any third party to:

(a) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, decrypt, or otherwise attempt to derive or reconstruct the source code, underlying ideas, algorithms, file structures, or organisation of the Service, the in-browser replay viewer, the recorder plugins, the .replaycore recording format, or any other client or server code or component of the Service;

(b) circumvent, disable, bypass, tamper with, or otherwise interfere with any licensing, activation, authentication, access control, rate limiting, watermarking, telemetry, or security mechanism of the Service, or probe or scan the Service for vulnerabilities other than under a security disclosure programme we operate;

(c) use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, or other automated means to access, bulk download, index, harvest, or otherwise collect replays, recordings, metadata, telemetry, or any other data or assets from the Service, or impose an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure;

(d) copy, reproduce, distribute, republish, transmit, sell, resell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise commercially exploit any part of the Service or its code, designs, or assets, or create any derivative, adapted, translated, or competing product or service based on or derived from the Service or any part of it; or

(e) remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trade mark, proprietary, or other notice contained in or displayed by the Service, or misrepresent the origin or ownership of the Service.

These restrictions protect the substantial investment ReplayCore has made in the Service. Any breach of this section is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate suspension or termination of your access without refund, and may give rise to civil liability and, where applicable, criminal sanctions. ReplayCore reserves all rights and remedies available to it at law and in equity, including the right to seek injunctive relief and to recover damages and costs.

7. Customer Responsibilities and Player Consent

You are solely responsible for your use of the Service on your servers, including providing any notices and obtaining any consent required by applicable law before recording players, and for complying with all applicable laws (including data-protection and privacy laws) and with the terms applicable to the platforms on which you operate, including the Minecraft End User Licence Agreement and Mojang's usage guidelines.

You are responsible for ensuring that every player and staff member on your servers holds a legitimately purchased copy of Minecraft with a premium account, for supplying any texture or resource pack used with your servers or replays, and for holding any permission required for game content displayed in your replays. ReplayCore does not distribute Minecraft, Minecraft accounts, or Mojang's game assets, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft.

In respect of any personal data contained in your replays, ReplayCore acts as a processor on your documented instructions; you are the controller and are responsible for establishing a lawful basis for recording and for handling your players' data-subject requests, using the privacy, retention, anonymisation, and deletion tooling we provide. You must not record individuals where you do not have a lawful basis to do so.

8. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ReplayCore and its officers, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or connected with your use of the Service, your replays and recordings, any content you record, store, or share through the Service, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party (including your players).

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ReplayCore shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or anticipated savings, arising from or relating to your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

ReplayCore's total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the total amounts you paid to ReplayCore in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the liability. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law (including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation).

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

11. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by email or via the Service. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
