== 4. Character Speech and Webhook Messages ==
Command examples shown by GorBot should use the command prefix configured for the applicable Server. Slash commands are unaffected by a Server’s message-command prefix.


The Bot may use Discord webhooks to display messages using a selected character’s name and avatar.
== 4. Server Installation and Administrative Authority ==


For example:
A person who installs, authorizes, configures, or purchases GorBot for a Server represents that they have sufficient authority to do so.

GorBot may refuse an operation when permissions, security checks, role hierarchy, authorization, rate limits, or other safeguards are not satisfied.
 
== 5. Character Speech and Webhook Messages ==
 
GorBot may use Discord webhooks to display messages using a selected character’s name and avatar.
 
A message-command prefix may vary by Server. For example, if a Server uses <code>[</code> as its prefix:


<pre>
<pre>
=say Hello.
[say Hello.
</pre>
</pre>


may be replaced with a webhook message posted under the selected character’s identity.

* Premium continues while the subscription entitlement is active.
 
GorBot does not need to contact the payment processor every time a Premium feature is used. GorBot may maintain a subscription entitlement or billing-state record and update it based on verified provider events, Discord entitlements, reconciliation, administrative correction, or other authorized billing information.
 
Subscription status may include active, canceled-at-period-end, past-due, grace-period, expired, refunded, revoked, or similar states.
 
== 19. Cancellation ==
 
Unless the applicable payment provider or law requires different treatment:
 
* You may cancel a recurring Premium subscription before its next renewal.
* Cancellation normally prevents the next renewal charge.
* Premium access normally continues through the end of the already-paid billing period.
* Cancellation does not normally create a prorated refund for time remaining in the current period.
* The cancellation method provided by the applicable payment channel should be used.
* If the payment provider controls subscription cancellation, its cancellation process and terms also apply.
 
If you lose ownership or administrative control of a Server for which you are paying, you are responsible for canceling or correcting the subscription unless the applicable payment channel provides another supported transfer mechanism.
 
The Operator may require reasonable verification before manually modifying an entitlement or resolving a Server-ownership dispute.
 
== 20. Failed Payments, Grace Periods, and Downgrades ==
 
If a renewal payment fails:
 
* The payment provider may retry the charge.
* GorBot may provide a temporary grace period.
* Premium may remain active during an authorized grace period.
* If payment is not successfully resolved, the Server may automatically return to the Free Tier.
 
When a Server moves from Premium to Free:
 
* GorBot will not intentionally delete configuration solely because the Server exceeds a Free Tier limit at the instant of downgrade.
* Existing over-limit configuration may remain stored but may be restricted, disabled, read-only, unpublished, or unavailable for new creation until the Server is within Free Tier limits or Premium is restored.
* Premium-only automations, scheduled operations, security functions, backups, or other Premium features may stop running or become unavailable.
* GorBot does not promise indefinite retention of over-limit or inactive data.
 
Restoring an active Premium entitlement may restore access to preserved Premium configuration, subject to current compatibility and retention policies.
 
== 21. Refunds, Disputes, Fraud, and Chargebacks ==
 
Refund eligibility depends on the payment channel, applicable law, and the circumstances of the transaction.


The Operator may review these records when investigating technical problems, security incidents, policy violations, or user complaints.
Unless applicable law or the payment provider requires otherwise:


Sensitive credentials such as Bot tokens, API keys, and webhook tokens should not be intentionally written to ordinary logs.
* Subscription fees are generally not refundable merely because a User did not use the Service during a paid period.
* Cancellation normally affects future renewal rather than refunding the current billing period.
* The applicable payment provider may control refunds, reversals, disputes, receipts, taxes, and chargebacks.
* The Operator may issue a discretionary refund where appropriate but is not obligated to do so unless required by law or provider rules.


== 12. Moderation and Enforcement ==
Fraud, stolen payment methods, entitlement manipulation, payment abuse, or fraudulent chargebacks may result in:


The Operator and authorized server staff may:
* Immediate Premium suspension or revocation.
* Temporary or permanent restrictions.
* Preservation of relevant fraud and security records.
* Reporting to the applicable payment provider or authorities where appropriate.
* Recovery of amounts lawfully owed, where permitted.


* Warn users.
A legitimate billing dispute or good-faith request for support will not be treated as fraud merely because the User disputes a charge.
 
Billing, subscription, cancellation, charge, or refund questions should be directed to [mailto:billing@gorbot.onlyotaku.com billing@gorbot.onlyotaku.com] once customer billing is opened.
 
== 22. Payment Processors and Third-Party Billing ==
 
Payment information may be processed by Discord or another authorized payment provider.
 
The Operator should not receive or store full card numbers merely to operate a GorBot subscription.
 
Payment providers may independently collect and process information such as:
 
* Name and billing contact information.
* Payment method information.
* Billing address.
* Tax information.
* Fraud signals.
* Receipts and invoices.
* Subscription identifiers.
* Charge, refund, and dispute records.
 
Use of a payment provider is also subject to that provider’s applicable terms and privacy policy.
 
GorBot may store limited billing metadata needed to associate a verified subscription or entitlement with the correct Server, such as provider name, provider customer/subscription identifiers, Guild ID, plan, status, billing-period dates, event identifiers, and entitlement state.
 
Further details belong in the [[BotPrivacyPolicy|Privacy Policy]].
 
== 23. Discord Monetization Requirements ==
 
Where Discord requires a GorBot paid feature to be offered through Discord Premium Apps or another Discord-supported monetization feature, GorBot may implement that purchase method in addition to permitted external payment methods.
 
Availability of a payment method may vary by region, Discord eligibility, provider eligibility, and feature support.
 
GorBot may adjust its checkout options, pricing presentation, or subscription implementation as necessary to remain compliant with Discord’s then-current developer and monetization requirements.
 
== 24. Moderation and Enforcement ==
 
The Operator and authorized Server staff may, as applicable:
 
* Warn Users.
* Delete or replace messages.
* Delete or replace messages.
* Restrict commands or features.
* Restrict commands or features.
* Disable character profiles.
* Disable or remove profiles or Published Content.
* Remove inappropriate avatars or biographies.
* Remove inappropriate avatars, biographies, server listings, or links.
* Mute, timeout, kick, or ban users where authorized.
* Mute, timeout, kick, or ban Users where authorized.
* Suspend access to the Bot.
* Suspend or revoke GorBot access.
* Remove the Bot from a server.
* Remove GorBot from a Server.
* Preserve relevant records for security or moderation review.
* Suspend Premium functionality for abuse, fraud, legal risk, or security reasons.
* Preserve relevant records for moderation, security, fraud, or legal review.


Enforcement may occur without advance notice when reasonably necessary to protect users, the Service, Discord, or the Operator.

The Operator may consider context and severity but is not required to apply identical enforcement in every situation.
The Operator may consider context, severity, history, intent, and risk but is not required to impose identical consequences in every case.


Attempts to evade enforcement may result in additional restrictions.
Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to [mailto:security@gorbot.onlyotaku.com security@gorbot.onlyotaku.com]. Abuse, harassment, malicious use, or safety concerns involving GorBot may be reported to [mailto:abuse@gorbot.onlyotaku.com abuse@gorbot.onlyotaku.com].

These Terms, the [[BotPrivacyPolicy|GorBot Privacy Policy]], applicable plan and checkout disclosures, applicable Server rules, and incorporated Discord requirements form the agreement governing use of GorBot.

GorBot

Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 17, 2026
Last Updated: August 17, 2026

By installing, inviting, accessing, configuring, purchasing for, or using GorBot or any related GorBot website or service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Mature-content notice: GorBot is intended for adult communities and may support mature fictional roleplay, including profanity, fictional violence, dominance and submission, slavery themes, sexual or romantic themes, harsh language, and other material unsuitable for children. GorBot is not intended for minors.

Premium purchasing status: GorBot may offer Free and Premium service tiers. Customer Premium checkout may be unavailable while billing integrations are being completed. A paid subscription exists only after an authorized checkout confirms a successful purchase. Manually granted Premium access for testing, support, promotion, or administration is not itself a paid subscription.

1. About These Terms

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of GorBot, including its Discord application, Discord commands, web dashboard, character and NPC systems, roleplay tools, automations, moderation and security features, server-discovery features, integrations, subscription entitlements, and related services.

In these Terms:

  • “GorBot” or “Bot” means the GorBot Discord application and related software and services.
  • “Service” means GorBot features made available through Discord, GorBot websites, APIs, dashboards, databases, integrations, or related infrastructure.
  • “Operator” means the owner, developers, and authorized administrators responsible for operating GorBot.
  • “User” means any person who accesses, configures, purchases for, or interacts with GorBot.
  • “Server” or “Guild” means a Discord server in which GorBot is installed or for which GorBot services are configured.
  • “Server Owner” includes the Discord server owner and any person authorized to purchase, configure, or administer GorBot for that Server.
  • “User Content” means names, biographies, avatars, messages, profiles, notes, NPCs, server listings, configuration content, images, links, automation text, and other material submitted through GorBot.
  • “Published Content” means User Content that a User intentionally publishes to a shared, global, public, cross-server, discovery, marketplace, or similar GorBot feature.
  • “Free Tier” means the no-recurring-charge service tier with the features and limits then shown by GorBot.
  • “Premium Tier” means the paid or administratively granted service tier with additional features or higher limits.

These Terms are an agreement between you and the Operator. Discord Inc. is not a party to this agreement.

Use of GorBot must also comply with all applicable Discord requirements, including:

If these Terms conflict with mandatory Discord rules governing use of Discord, those Discord rules control to the extent of the conflict.

2. Eligibility and Adult Use

GorBot is intended for adults participating in mature online communities.

You must:

  • Be at least 18 years old and at least the age of majority required by the jurisdiction that applies to you.
  • Be legally permitted to use Discord and GorBot.
  • Follow the age requirements and rules of each Server where you use GorBot.
  • Not use GorBot if applicable law or Discord rules prohibit you from doing so.

The Service may support fictional Gorean roleplay, dominance and submission, fictional slavery, mature relationships, violence, profanity, sexuality, and other adult themes.

Use of fictional roleplay features does not permit or endorse:

  • Real-world slavery, trafficking, coercion, exploitation, or abuse.
  • Sexual exploitation or non-consensual real-world conduct.
  • Sexual content involving minors or age-ambiguous persons.
  • Grooming or predatory behavior involving minors.
  • Credible threats of real-world violence.
  • Harassment, stalking, doxxing, or targeted abuse of a real person.
  • Illegal conduct.

Characters participating in explicitly sexual or adult roleplay must be represented as adults.

3. Description of the Service

GorBot is an evolving Discord and roleplay platform. Features may include:

  • Discord slash commands and configurable message-command prefixes.
  • Character creation, profiles, biographies, avatars, and active-character selection.
  • Webhook-based character speech and roleplay identities.
  • Personal roleplay profiles and Personal Notes.
  • NPC creation, management, shared NPC databases, and cloning where enabled.
  • NPC personality, memory, relationship, gossip, mood, sensory, and adaptive-roleplay systems.
  • Optional artificial-intelligence integrations.
  • Scene, relationship, journal, lore, contract, marketplace, event, and related roleplay features.
  • Embed-message tools.
  • Reaction-role tools.
  • Custom commands.
  • Timed messages and scheduled operations.
  • Automations and workflow tools.
  • Ticketing features.
  • Server-discovery listings and invite links.
  • Welcome and role-management systems.
  • Moderation, audit, anti-abuse, anti-raid, and security tools.
  • Configuration backups and restoration.
  • Discord OAuth and web-dashboard features.
  • Optional game-server, GameBridge, NPC, and external-service integrations.
  • Distributed infrastructure, failover, backups, and other operational systems.

Specific features, limits, availability, and plan requirements may change over time.

Command examples shown by GorBot should use the command prefix configured for the applicable Server. Slash commands are unaffected by a Server’s message-command prefix.

4. Server Installation and Administrative Authority

A person who installs, authorizes, configures, or purchases GorBot for a Server represents that they have sufficient authority to do so.

Server Owners and authorized administrators are responsible for:

  • Configuring GorBot permissions appropriately.
  • Giving GorBot only the permissions reasonably required for desired features.
  • Managing staff access and administrative roles.
  • Reviewing automations, moderation rules, scheduled actions, and destructive operations before enabling them.
  • Ensuring Server rules and use of GorBot comply with Discord requirements and applicable law.
  • Informing Server members of local rules or disclosures that the Server itself is legally required to provide.

The Operator is not responsible for harm caused by a Server Owner’s or administrator’s misconfiguration, misuse, excessive permissions, automation design, moderation decisions, or failure to supervise Server staff.

GorBot may refuse an operation when permissions, security checks, role hierarchy, authorization, rate limits, or other safeguards are not satisfied.

5. Character Speech and Webhook Messages

GorBot may use Discord webhooks to display messages using a selected character’s name and avatar.

A message-command prefix may vary by Server. For example, if a Server uses [ as its prefix:

[say Hello.

may cause GorBot to post a webhook message under the selected character identity.

By using webhook roleplay, you understand and agree that:

  • The webhook message represents content submitted by you or generated at your direction.
  • The character name and avatar may differ from your Discord account name and avatar.
  • Your original command message may be deleted after successful replacement.
  • Other users may understand the resulting message as fictional character dialogue.
  • You remain responsible for content submitted through your character.
  • You may not impersonate a real person, Server staff member, another player, or another player’s character without authorization.
  • You may not falsely represent character messages as official statements by the Operator, Discord, or another organization.

GorBot may preserve the original message when webhook replacement fails.

6. User Accounts, Discord OAuth, and Profiles

You are responsible for activity performed through your Discord account, authenticated dashboard session, and GorBot profiles.

You agree to:

  • Keep your Discord account and authenticated sessions secure.
  • Not share authentication cookies, session links, credentials, or access tokens.
  • Provide accurate information where accuracy is required.
  • Maintain control of characters and content associated with your account.
  • Use only avatars, images, names, text, and other content you have the right to use.
  • Avoid misleading, deceptive, infringing, or impersonating profiles.
  • Notify appropriate Server staff or the Operator if you believe your GorBot access has been compromised.

GorBot may impose profile, character, image, storage, or other limits.

The Operator may rename, disable, archive, transfer, restrict, or remove profiles when reasonably necessary to enforce these Terms, respond to abuse, comply with law, resolve ownership disputes, or protect the Service.

7. User Content and License

You retain any ownership rights you have in User Content.

By submitting User Content to GorBot, you grant the Operator a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, transmit, display, format, cache, back up, and otherwise use that content only as reasonably necessary to:

  • Operate GorBot.
  • Display content in Discord or the web dashboard.
  • Provide webhook roleplay.
  • Maintain profiles, NPCs, notes, scenes, memories, automations, logs, and related features.
  • Provide backups, restoration, failover, security, moderation, and technical support.
  • Detect abuse or security problems.
  • Maintain and improve the Service.

This operational license ends when the content is deleted from active systems, except where copies must temporarily remain in backups, audit records, moderation records, fraud records, legal holds, security records, or other records that the Operator is permitted or required to retain.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to submit User Content.

8. Published, Shared, and Cross-Server Content

Some GorBot features allow Users to deliberately publish content beyond a single private Server.

Examples may include:

  • Global or shared NPC entries.
  • NPCs available for cloning.
  • Server-discovery profiles.
  • Server descriptions and invite links.
  • Public images or galleries.
  • Marketplace, lore, event, or community listings.
  • Other content clearly identified as shared, published, discoverable, or cross-server.

When you intentionally publish content through such a feature, you authorize GorBot to display and distribute that Published Content to other GorBot users and Servers for the purpose of operating that feature.

If a feature expressly permits cloning, copying, importing, or reusing a published NPC or similar item, you also authorize other GorBot users to use the feature’s provided cloning or import mechanism.

You remain responsible for ensuring that Published Content:

  • Does not violate law, Discord rules, these Terms, or third-party rights.
  • Does not expose private or confidential information.
  • Uses images and media you are permitted to publish.
  • Uses accurate and safe invite links.
  • Does not intentionally deceive users about the identity or ownership of a Server, character, NPC, or organization.

The Operator may remove, unpublish, de-rank, restrict, or refuse Published Content.

9. Personal Notes and Private Information

GorBot may provide Personal Notes or similar private-to-account roleplay tools.

These tools are intended for convenience and roleplay organization. They are not a secure password manager, medical record system, financial vault, legal repository, or storage location for highly sensitive information.

Do not store:

  • Passwords or authentication credentials.
  • Financial-account information.
  • Government identification numbers.
  • Medical records.
  • Private keys, API keys, Bot tokens, or recovery codes.
  • Information you are not authorized to possess or store.

Information may still be processed by GorBot infrastructure and may be accessible to the Operator when reasonably necessary for security, support, legal compliance, abuse investigation, or system maintenance, subject to the Privacy Policy.

10. Prohibited Conduct

You may not use GorBot to:

  • Violate law, regulation, Discord policy, or applicable Server rules.
  • Harass, stalk, threaten, defame, intimidate, or doxx another person.
  • Distribute another person’s private or identifying information without authorization.
  • Impersonate another user, staff member, real person, organization, or character without authorization.
  • Share illegal, exploitative, or malicious content.
  • Sexualize minors or age-ambiguous persons.
  • Promote or facilitate real-world human trafficking, coercion, exploitation, or abuse.
  • Distribute malware, spyware, credential stealers, destructive code, or harmful files.
  • Obtain or attempt to obtain Bot tokens, webhook tokens, API keys, passwords, private keys, authentication cookies, or other credentials.
  • Probe, exploit, attack, reverse engineer, disrupt, overload, or bypass GorBot security except where applicable law expressly grants a non-waivable right.
  • Evade rate limits, bans, restrictions, payment controls, entitlement checks, moderation actions, or access controls.
  • Spam commands, messages, webhooks, direct messages, APIs, automations, or scheduled operations.
  • Abuse moderation, ticketing, roles, automations, or administrative functions.
  • Manipulate GorBot into revealing private prompts, credentials, another User’s private information, or restricted system data.
  • Use unauthorized bots, automated accounts, scripts, scraping, or bulk-access tools against GorBot.
  • Submit content that infringes copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, contractual, or other third-party rights.
  • Fraudulently obtain Premium access or manipulate subscription/entitlement records.
  • Use stolen payment methods or engage in fraudulent chargebacks.
  • Interfere with Discord, GorBot infrastructure, game servers, hosting systems, databases, or other users.

The Operator may restrict activity that reasonably appears abusive, dangerous, fraudulent, or disruptive even when it is not specifically listed above.

11. Automations, Moderation, and Administrative Actions

GorBot can perform actions automatically or at the direction of authorized Server staff.

Depending on configuration, these actions may include:

  • Sending or deleting messages.
  • Assigning or removing roles.
  • Creating or updating webhook messages.
  • Running scheduled messages or workflows.
  • Creating tickets.
  • Muting, timing out, kicking, banning, warning, or otherwise moderating users.
  • Publishing or updating embeds.
  • Applying anti-abuse or security rules.
  • Backing up or restoring configuration.

Server Owners and authorized administrators are responsible for reviewing and testing their configuration.

The Operator does not guarantee that an automation, moderation rule, permission hierarchy, scheduled action, backup, or restoration operation will produce the result intended by the Server administrator.

The Operator may impose safeguards, confirmations, rate limits, permission checks, or restrictions on destructive or high-impact operations.

12. Mock Intelligence, NPC Behavior, and Automated Responses

Some GorBot responses may be generated by rules-based, adaptive, procedural, or artificial-intelligence-assisted systems.

These systems:

  • Are not conscious, sentient, or self-aware.
  • Do not possess human judgment.
  • May misunderstand context.
  • May produce incorrect, repetitive, inconsistent, offensive, or inappropriate responses.
  • May reflect fictional personality, mood, hostility, profanity, culture, social roles, slavery roles, relationships, memories, or other roleplay context.
  • May change behavior as persistent NPC or relationship information changes.
  • Should not be relied upon for legal, medical, financial, safety, mental-health, or other professional advice.

Automated or NPC-generated statements are fictional or machine-generated output and do not necessarily represent the views of the Operator, Discord, Server staff, or any real person.

13. Optional Third-Party AI Services

The Operator may connect some features to third-party artificial-intelligence providers.

When enabled:

  • Selected prompts, conversation context, character details, NPC information, or related content may be transmitted to the provider.
  • Third-party processing is governed by that provider’s terms and privacy practices.
  • Availability, model behavior, pricing, limits, and output quality may change.
  • Generated output may be inaccurate, inappropriate, delayed, or unavailable.
  • The Operator may disable or change the integration.

Users should not submit confidential or highly sensitive information to AI-enabled features.

Additional information is provided in the Privacy Policy.

14. Conversation Memory and Adaptive Roleplay

GorBot may retain limited roleplay history or persistent state to provide continuity.

Stored or derived roleplay information may include:

  • Character or NPC relationships.
  • Personality traits.
  • Mood and disposition.
  • Forms of address.
  • Fictional roles or status.
  • Fictional ownership or slavery-role information.
  • Gossip, memories, knowledge, or learned associations.
  • Recent conversation topics.
  • NPC adaptive-learning information.
  • User preferences relevant to roleplay.
  • Character, NPC, equipment, Server, channel, or user identifiers.

Memory may be automatically trimmed, summarized, archived, reset, or removed based on age, size, plan limits, storage limits, feature design, or administrative settings.

Deleting a Discord message does not necessarily delete all associated GorBot memory, logs, backups, or records immediately. Data handling and deletion are addressed in the Privacy Policy.

15. Logging, Audit, Security, and Abuse Prevention

GorBot may maintain logs and audit information for security, moderation, debugging, reliability, fraud prevention, and service operation.

Records may include:

  • Commands and feature usage.
  • Discord user, Guild, channel, role, message, application, or webhook identifiers.
  • Authentication and authorization events.
  • Dashboard actions.
  • Errors, timeouts, connection failures, and diagnostics.
  • Rate-limit events.
  • Moderation and administrative actions.
  • Automation activity.
  • Security incidents or suspicious behavior.
  • Subscription or entitlement changes.
  • Provider event identifiers and billing-state metadata.
  • Backup, restoration, release, or system-health activity.

The Operator may review these records when reasonably necessary.

Credentials such as Discord Bot tokens, API keys, database passwords, private keys, payment credentials, and webhook secrets should not intentionally be written to ordinary user-facing logs.

16. Free Tier

GorBot may provide a Free Tier without a recurring subscription charge.

The Free Tier may include limits on features such as:

  • Automations.
  • Embed templates.
  • Custom commands.
  • Timed messages.
  • Ticket panels.
  • Reaction-role panels.
  • Configuration backups.
  • Audit retention.
  • Security-history retention.
  • Other storage, capacity, or advanced administrative features.

The current Free/Premium feature comparison and current limits are shown on GorBot’s Plans & Features page:

GorBot Plans & Features

The Operator may adjust Free Tier features or limits as the Service evolves. Changes will not override rights that cannot legally be waived.

17. Premium Tier and Pricing

When customer purchasing is available, Premium is intended to be a recurring, Server-specific subscription unless the applicable checkout clearly states otherwise.

The current advertised base price is:

Premium: US $5.99 per Discord Server per billing month

Important pricing terms:

  • Premium attaches to the applicable Discord Guild/Server entitlement, not to a particular GorBot processing node.
  • Unless checkout states otherwise, one Premium subscription covers one Server.
  • A person purchasing Premium represents that they are authorized to purchase services for the selected Server.
  • The exact price, currency, taxes, billing date, renewal date, and provider terms shown at checkout control that transaction.
  • Applicable taxes may be added or collected by the payment provider.
  • Promotional, discounted, regional, or provider-specific pricing may be offered where permitted.
  • The Operator may change Premium pricing for future billing periods.
  • A price change will not retroactively increase the price of a billing period that has already been paid.
  • Where notice of a renewal or price change is required by applicable law or provider rules, the required notice will control.
  • GorBot may use Discord Premium Apps and/or authorized external payment providers as permitted by Discord rules and applicable law.

The Plans & Features page may describe current Premium features and limits. Specific Premium features are not guaranteed to remain permanently unchanged.

18. Subscription Creation, Renewal, and Billing Periods

A paid subscription is created only after an authorized payment channel confirms successful purchase.

Unless checkout states otherwise:

  • Premium renews automatically each billing month until canceled.
  • The billing period begins on the subscription date.
  • Renewal normally occurs on the corresponding calendar date in the following month, subject to the payment provider’s billing rules.
  • The renewal date shown by the payment provider, Discord, checkout, receipt, or subscription-management page is controlling.
  • Premium continues while the subscription entitlement is active.

GorBot does not need to contact the payment processor every time a Premium feature is used. GorBot may maintain a subscription entitlement or billing-state record and update it based on verified provider events, Discord entitlements, reconciliation, administrative correction, or other authorized billing information.

Subscription status may include active, canceled-at-period-end, past-due, grace-period, expired, refunded, revoked, or similar states.

19. Cancellation

Unless the applicable payment provider or law requires different treatment:

  • You may cancel a recurring Premium subscription before its next renewal.
  • Cancellation normally prevents the next renewal charge.
  • Premium access normally continues through the end of the already-paid billing period.
  • Cancellation does not normally create a prorated refund for time remaining in the current period.
  • The cancellation method provided by the applicable payment channel should be used.
  • If the payment provider controls subscription cancellation, its cancellation process and terms also apply.

If you lose ownership or administrative control of a Server for which you are paying, you are responsible for canceling or correcting the subscription unless the applicable payment channel provides another supported transfer mechanism.

The Operator may require reasonable verification before manually modifying an entitlement or resolving a Server-ownership dispute.

20. Failed Payments, Grace Periods, and Downgrades

If a renewal payment fails:

  • The payment provider may retry the charge.
  • GorBot may provide a temporary grace period.
  • Premium may remain active during an authorized grace period.
  • If payment is not successfully resolved, the Server may automatically return to the Free Tier.

When a Server moves from Premium to Free:

  • GorBot will not intentionally delete configuration solely because the Server exceeds a Free Tier limit at the instant of downgrade.
  • Existing over-limit configuration may remain stored but may be restricted, disabled, read-only, unpublished, or unavailable for new creation until the Server is within Free Tier limits or Premium is restored.
  • Premium-only automations, scheduled operations, security functions, backups, or other Premium features may stop running or become unavailable.
  • GorBot does not promise indefinite retention of over-limit or inactive data.

Restoring an active Premium entitlement may restore access to preserved Premium configuration, subject to current compatibility and retention policies.

21. Refunds, Disputes, Fraud, and Chargebacks

Refund eligibility depends on the payment channel, applicable law, and the circumstances of the transaction.

Unless applicable law or the payment provider requires otherwise:

  • Subscription fees are generally not refundable merely because a User did not use the Service during a paid period.
  • Cancellation normally affects future renewal rather than refunding the current billing period.
  • The applicable payment provider may control refunds, reversals, disputes, receipts, taxes, and chargebacks.
  • The Operator may issue a discretionary refund where appropriate but is not obligated to do so unless required by law or provider rules.

Fraud, stolen payment methods, entitlement manipulation, payment abuse, or fraudulent chargebacks may result in:

  • Immediate Premium suspension or revocation.
  • Temporary or permanent restrictions.
  • Preservation of relevant fraud and security records.
  • Reporting to the applicable payment provider or authorities where appropriate.
  • Recovery of amounts lawfully owed, where permitted.

A legitimate billing dispute or good-faith request for support will not be treated as fraud merely because the User disputes a charge.

Billing, subscription, cancellation, charge, or refund questions should be directed to billing@gorbot.onlyotaku.com once customer billing is opened.

22. Payment Processors and Third-Party Billing

Payment information may be processed by Discord or another authorized payment provider.

The Operator should not receive or store full card numbers merely to operate a GorBot subscription.

Payment providers may independently collect and process information such as:

  • Name and billing contact information.
  • Payment method information.
  • Billing address.
  • Tax information.
  • Fraud signals.
  • Receipts and invoices.
  • Subscription identifiers.
  • Charge, refund, and dispute records.

Use of a payment provider is also subject to that provider’s applicable terms and privacy policy.

GorBot may store limited billing metadata needed to associate a verified subscription or entitlement with the correct Server, such as provider name, provider customer/subscription identifiers, Guild ID, plan, status, billing-period dates, event identifiers, and entitlement state.

Further details belong in the Privacy Policy.

23. Discord Monetization Requirements

Where Discord requires a GorBot paid feature to be offered through Discord Premium Apps or another Discord-supported monetization feature, GorBot may implement that purchase method in addition to permitted external payment methods.

Availability of a payment method may vary by region, Discord eligibility, provider eligibility, and feature support.

GorBot may adjust its checkout options, pricing presentation, or subscription implementation as necessary to remain compliant with Discord’s then-current developer and monetization requirements.

24. Moderation and Enforcement

The Operator and authorized Server staff may, as applicable:

  • Warn Users.
  • Delete or replace messages.
  • Restrict commands or features.
  • Disable or remove profiles or Published Content.
  • Remove inappropriate avatars, biographies, server listings, or links.
  • Mute, timeout, kick, or ban Users where authorized.
  • Suspend or revoke GorBot access.
  • Remove GorBot from a Server.
  • Suspend Premium functionality for abuse, fraud, legal risk, or security reasons.
  • Preserve relevant records for moderation, security, fraud, or legal review.

Enforcement may occur without advance notice when reasonably necessary to protect Users, the Service, Discord, payment systems, third parties, or the Operator.

The Operator may consider context, severity, history, intent, and risk but is not required to impose identical consequences in every case.

Security vulnerabilities should be reported privately to security@gorbot.onlyotaku.com. Abuse, harassment, malicious use, or safety concerns involving GorBot may be reported to abuse@gorbot.onlyotaku.com.

25. Privacy

Use of GorBot is also governed by the GorBot Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains or should explain:

  • What information GorBot collects.
  • Why information is collected.
  • How information is stored and protected.
  • How long categories of data may be retained.
  • When information may be shared with processors or other parties.
  • How Discord API data is handled.
  • How payment-related metadata is handled.
  • How Users may request access, correction, or deletion where applicable.
  • How to contact the Operator about privacy matters.

Privacy and data-rights requests should be directed to:

Privacy Contact: privacy@gorbot.onlyotaku.com

Do not use GorBot until you have reviewed the Privacy Policy.

26. Third-Party Services

GorBot depends on or may integrate with third-party systems such as:

  • Discord.
  • Hosting and infrastructure providers.
  • Database providers.
  • Domain, proxy, and content-delivery services.
  • Payment processors.
  • Artificial-intelligence providers.
  • Image-hosting services.
  • Game-server software.
  • Open-source or third-party modules.
  • Authentication and OAuth services.

The Operator does not control every third-party system and is not responsible for changes, outages, suspensions, security incidents, data practices, policy changes, pricing changes, or failures caused by those providers.

Your use of third-party services remains subject to their applicable terms and policies.

27. Availability, Maintenance, and Service Changes

GorBot is provided as an evolving service.

The Operator does not guarantee that:

  • GorBot will always be online.
  • Every command or dashboard feature will always function.
  • Every Discord Gateway connection or integration will remain continuously available.
  • Stored information will never be lost, corrupted, delayed, or unavailable.
  • Every backup will be recoverable.
  • Every failover, update, or restoration will be instantaneous.
  • All automated responses will be accurate or appropriate.
  • Features, limits, prices, plans, providers, or integrations will remain unchanged.
  • Discord or another third party will continue supporting a particular API or feature.
  • External images, links, invite URLs, or hosted media will remain available.
  • Roleplay memory or historical information will be permanently preserved.

Maintenance, rolling updates, failover, capacity limits, crashes, host failures, Internet outages, Discord outages, provider outages, database maintenance, security incidents, or other events may interrupt the Service.

Premium does not create a guaranteed uptime, response-time, support-time, data-retention, or service-level agreement unless the Operator expressly agrees to one in a separate written contract.

28. Backups and Data Loss

GorBot may create backups for operational recovery.

Backups are not a guarantee against data loss.

Users and Server Owners should maintain independent copies of important content that they cannot afford to lose.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Operator is not responsible for loss resulting from:

  • Failed or incomplete backups.
  • Corruption.
  • Restoration errors.
  • Third-party service failures.
  • User or administrator deletion.
  • Misconfigured automation.
  • Security incidents.
  • Software defects.
  • Hardware or infrastructure failures.
  • Discord deletion, removal, or API changes.

29. Intellectual Property and Third-Party Rights

GorBot software, branding, original documentation, and original Service materials are owned by the Operator or applicable licensors.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of GorBot software to Users.

You may not copy, sell, license, misrepresent, or commercially exploit GorBot software or proprietary materials except with authorization or where applicable law grants a non-waivable right.

Third-party names, games, books, fictional universes, trademarks, artwork, and other materials remain the property of their respective rights holders.

GorBot is an independent community project. References to Gorean roleplay, Gor, Ultima Online, Discord, or other third-party properties do not imply sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement.

If you believe User Content available through GorBot infringes your intellectual-property rights, contact the Operator at legal@gorbot.onlyotaku.com with enough information to identify the material, the claimed right, your contact information, and the action you are requesting. A dedicated dmca@gorbot.onlyotaku.com alias may also be used in the future if the Operator establishes a formal DMCA designated-agent process.

30. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GorBot and the Service are provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”

The Operator disclaims express and implied warranties to the maximum extent legally permitted, including warranties of:

  • Merchantability.
  • Fitness for a particular purpose.
  • Non-infringement.
  • Availability.
  • Accuracy.
  • Reliability.
  • Security.
  • Error-free operation.
  • Data preservation.
  • Compatibility with every Discord server, client, game server, browser, device, payment provider, or third-party service.

Use of GorBot is at your own risk.

Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty, consumer right, or remedy that applicable law does not permit the parties to waive.

31. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator, developers, administrators, and authorized staff will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from or related to GorBot.

This includes, without limitation:

  • Lost data or configuration.
  • Lost character profiles, NPCs, notes, or roleplay memory.
  • Lost revenue, profits, opportunities, business, reputation, or goodwill.
  • Service interruption or latency.
  • Moderation or automation mistakes.
  • Discord account or Server actions.
  • Content posted by Users.
  • Incorrect or offensive automated output.
  • Unauthorized use of a User’s Discord account.
  • Payment-provider or billing-provider failures.
  • Failed backups or restorations.
  • Failures of Discord or another third-party service.

Where liability cannot legally be excluded, the Operator’s aggregate liability arising from the Service will be limited to the greater of:

  • The amount actually paid by the claimant directly for GorBot during the six months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim; or
  • US $25.00.

This limitation does not apply where applicable law prohibits such a limitation.

32. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Operator, developers, authorized administrators, and staff from third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable expenses arising from or related to:

  • Your use or misuse of GorBot.
  • User Content you submit or publish.
  • Your Server configuration or automation.
  • Your violation of these Terms.
  • Your violation of Discord policies.
  • Your violation of another person’s rights.
  • Your unauthorized administration of a Server.
  • Fraudulent or unlawful activity performed through your account or Server.

This section does not require indemnification where prohibited by law.

33. Force Majeure

The Operator is not responsible for delay or failure caused by events reasonably beyond the Operator’s control, including:

  • Internet or telecommunications outages.
  • Hosting or cloud-provider failures.
  • Discord outages or API changes.
  • Payment-network or processor outages.
  • Power failures.
  • Natural disasters.
  • Fire, flood, severe weather, war, terrorism, civil disorder, or government action.
  • Labor disputes.
  • Cyberattacks or widespread security incidents.
  • Failure of third-party infrastructure.

The Operator will use reasonable efforts to restore affected service where practical but does not guarantee a restoration time.

34. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using GorBot at any time.

The Operator may suspend, restrict, or terminate access when:

  • You violate these Terms.
  • You violate Discord requirements or applicable Server rules.
  • Your activity creates security, legal, financial, fraud, reputational, or operational risk.
  • A payment provider reports fraud or invalid entitlement.
  • Required fees remain unpaid.
  • Discord restricts or removes GorBot.
  • A third-party provider makes continued operation impractical.
  • The Service or a feature is discontinued.

Termination or suspension may affect Premium access.

Except where required by law or provider rules, termination for breach, fraud, or abuse does not automatically entitle a User to a refund.

Provisions that reasonably should survive termination remain in effect, including ownership, licenses necessary for retained records, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute provisions, and enforcement rights.

35. Changes to Features, Plans, Pricing, and These Terms

The Operator may update GorBot, these Terms, feature limits, plan descriptions, supported providers, or pricing.

The latest Terms will be posted on this page with a revision date.

Material changes may also be announced through Discord, the GorBot website, or another official communication channel.

If a Premium price changes:

  • The change applies prospectively.
  • A completed current billing period will not be retroactively repriced.
  • Required notices and provider-specific rules will be followed.
  • Users may cancel before a future renewal if they do not accept the new renewal price, subject to applicable provider procedures and law.

Continuing to use GorBot after revised Terms take effect means you accept the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires a different form of consent.

36. Informal Dispute Resolution

Before filing a non-emergency claim against the Operator, you agree to make a reasonable good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through GorBot’s official support or contact process.

The parties should allow up to 30 days for informal resolution after sufficient written notice of the dispute, unless waiting would cause a claim to expire or applicable law provides a non-waivable right to proceed sooner.

This section does not prevent either party from seeking urgent injunctive or protective relief where legally appropriate.

37. Governing Law and Venue

To the maximum extent legally permitted, these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to rights that cannot legally be waived, claims that must be brought in court will be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Utah.

Mandatory consumer-protection, privacy, or other rights that apply based on a User’s jurisdiction remain unaffected where they cannot legally be waived.

38. Severability and Waiver

If a provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect to the greatest extent legally permitted.

A failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later.

39. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms, including a paid Server entitlement, in a manner that bypasses supported Server-ownership or subscription procedures without the Operator’s consent.

The Operator may assign these Terms or transfer operation of GorBot as part of a lawful reorganization, business transfer, merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially related assets, subject to applicable law and privacy obligations.

40. Entire Agreement

These Terms, the GorBot Privacy Policy, applicable plan and checkout disclosures, applicable Server rules, and incorporated Discord requirements form the agreement governing use of GorBot.

If a payment provider presents transaction-specific terms that lawfully control a purchase, those terms also apply to that transaction.

No informal statement changes these Terms unless it is incorporated into an official written revision or binding written agreement.

Questions, support requests, billing issues, abuse reports, privacy requests, intellectual-property complaints, security reports, or legal notices should be directed to the appropriate official GorBot contact method.

General Contact: contactus@gorbot.onlyotaku.com

Additional official resources:

These role addresses may be implemented as separate mailboxes or as aliases/forwarders to one or more monitored administrative mailboxes. What matters operationally is that messages are reliably received, reviewed, and retained when appropriate.

The Operator may publish additional addresses for specific purposes. For example:

  • dmca@gorbot.onlyotaku.com may be established as an alias to the legal contact if a formal DMCA designated-agent process is implemented.
  • noreply@gorbot.onlyotaku.com may be used only for automated outbound transactional messages and should not be presented as a support address.

Users should not send passwords, API keys, authentication tokens, full payment-card information, private keys, recovery codes, or other highly sensitive credentials by email.

For vulnerability disclosure, the Operator may also publish a standard /.well-known/security.txt file pointing researchers to security@gorbot.onlyotaku.com.
