Terms of Service
These terms apply to the Black Box Discord bot ("Black Box", "the bot", "the service"), operated by Ace ("the developer", "we"). By adding Black Box to a server or using its commands, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the bot.
1. The service
Black Box saves a backup of a Discord server's messages, attachments, channels, roles and members, and lets the server owner, and members with roles the owner allows, export that backup (for example as HTML pages). Features may change, be added or be removed over time.
2. Who may use it
- You must meet Discord's minimum age and follow Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
- Only add Black Box to a server you own or are authorised to manage.
3. Server administrators' responsibilities
By adding Black Box, the server's administrators agree to:
- let their members know that the server is backed up, for example in the rules channel, including that deleted messages remain in the backup;
- use exports only to back up, recover, or keep records of their own server, and handle them in line with applicable privacy law;
- keep exports and download links private and not share members' data with people who shouldn't have it.
4. Acceptable use
You may not use Black Box to:
- collect data from servers you don't manage, or to harass, dox, stalk or expose people;
- build datasets, sell data, or train AI models on other users' content;
- break the law, Discord's rules, or other people's rights;
- attack, overload, reverse-engineer for abuse, or try to get around the bot's limits or security.
We may limit, suspend, or remove Black Box from any server or user that breaks these terms.
5. Content
Content in a backup belongs to the people who posted it. You give us permission to store, process and display it only as needed to run the service for your server. We don't claim ownership of it.
6. No guarantee
Black Box is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available". We do our best, but we don't guarantee that every message, file or setting will be saved, that the bot will always be online, or that a backup can always be fully restored. For example, content posted while the bot was offline, in channels it couldn't see, or files above the size limit may be missing. Keep your own copies of anything important.
7. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the developer is not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, profits or community, arising from the use of or inability to use Black Box. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
8. Ending use
You can stop using Black Box at any time by removing it from your server, or the server owner can run /forget-server to stop backups. Data is then handled as described in the Privacy Policy. We may stop or change the service at any time.
9. Discord
Black Box is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc. "Discord" is a trademark of Discord Inc.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version. Continuing to use Black Box after a change means you accept the new terms.
