Terms of Service
1Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing uncheckedsmp.online, play.uncheckedsmp.online, the Unchecked SMP Discord server, or the Unchecked SMP Minecraft server (together, the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), our Privacy Policy, and our Server Rules, which are incorporated into these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2About the Service
Unchecked SMP is an independent, community-operated Minecraft server. It is not an official Minecraft product and is not approved by or associated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft. “Minecraft” is a trademark of Mojang Studios.
3Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf. You must also comply with the Minecraft EULA, the Minecraft Usage Guidelines, and the terms of any platform you use to connect (such as Microsoft, Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, or Discord).
4Your Account and Conduct
You are responsible for all activity under your Minecraft account and for keeping your credentials secure. You agree to follow the Server Rules at all times. You agree not to:
- Cheat, exploit bugs, or use unauthorized client modifications as described in the Server Rules.
- Attack, overload, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, including through DDoS or other network attacks.
- Harass, threaten, dox, or discriminate against other users.
- Impersonate staff or other people, or evade a ban or punishment, including through alternate accounts.
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law.
5Moderation and Enforcement
Staff may warn, mute, kick, temporarily ban, permanently ban, restrict, roll back, or remove content or items from any account, at any time and at our discretion, with or without notice, when we believe these Terms or the Server Rules have been violated or when it is necessary to protect the Service or its community. Enforcement decisions may be appealed through the Ban Appeal form on our website. Submitting an appeal does not guarantee that a decision will be reversed.
6Virtual Items, Progress, and Resets
Everything in the game, including items, currency, builds, land claims, factions, and rankings, is virtual and has no monetary value. You do not own any in-game item or progress. We may modify, roll back, reset, wipe, or remove any part of the game world or player data at any time, including to fix bugs, remove exploited items, or maintain performance. Gameplay losses caused by other players acting within the Server Rules, such as raids, theft, or PvP, are part of the game and are not grounds for restoration.
7Availability and Changes
The Service is provided on an ongoing basis but may be interrupted, changed, or discontinued, in whole or in part, at any time for maintenance, updates, technical problems, or other reasons. We do not guarantee any level of uptime, performance, or compatibility with any version of Minecraft.
8Voluntary Support
If we offer any optional way to support the server, contributions are voluntary, non-refundable, and do not give you ownership of any in-game item, rank, or feature. Perks may be changed or removed, and may be withheld from accounts that violate these Terms or the Server Rules.
9Content and Intellectual Property
The Unchecked SMP name, logo, website, and original materials belong to the Service operators and may not be copied or used without permission. You retain ownership of the content you create, such as builds and messages, but you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, log, and moderate that content as needed to operate the Service, including for screenshots, videos, and promotion of the server.
10Third-Party Services
The Service links to and relies on third-party services, including Discord, Google Forms, YouTube, Cloudflare, and our hosting provider. We do not control these services and are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.
11Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation. We do not warrant that the Service will be free of bugs, data loss, or security vulnerabilities.
12Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service operators, staff, and volunteers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, items, progress, profits, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months before the claim arose, or fifty US dollars, whichever is greater.
13Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Service operators, staff, and volunteers from any claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your violation of these Terms, the Server Rules, or applicable law.
14Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time for any violation of these Terms or the Server Rules, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including those on virtual items, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.
15Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date above shows when they were last revised. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
16Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Service operator resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, except where the law of your country of residence gives you non-waivable rights to a different forum.
17Contact
Questions about these Terms can be sent to staff through the Unchecked SMP (our Discord server).
