Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By accessing or using VRCPulse you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. VRCPulse is provided on a best-effort basis.

2. Eligibility and Access

The hosted service requires each user to sign in with their own Patreon account. A paid membership held by that same account enables the corresponding paid entitlement; an account without a paid membership uses the Free tier. Self-hosted installations do not require Patreon or a subscription. We reserve the right to suspend hosted access for misuse.

3. Permitted Use

You may use VRCPulse to:

• View analytics for VRChat groups and worlds you own or manage.
• Configure the Discord bot integration for your linked Discord server.
• Access historical data for your own communities.

You may not:

• Attempt to access data belonging to groups or worlds you do not own.
• Automate requests in a way that places excessive load on the service or the VRChat API.
• Reverse-engineer, resell, or redistribute VRCPulse data or functionality.
• Use the service in violation of VRChat's Terms of Service or Discord's Terms of Service.

4. Data and VRChat API

VRCPulse fetches data from the VRChat API on behalf of users who have registered their groups or worlds. You are responsible for ensuring your use of VRCPulse does not violate VRChat's policies. VRCPulse stores historical snapshots of community data; accuracy is not guaranteed and data may be incomplete or delayed.

5. Service Availability

VRCPulse is provided "as is" with no uptime guarantees. The service may be unavailable during maintenance, due to API rate limits, or for any other reason without notice. We are not liable for data loss or business impact from service interruptions.

6. Payments and Refunds

Payments are handled entirely by Patreon. VRCPulse does not process or store payment information. Refund requests must be directed to Patreon support. Cancellation or a tier change follows the hosted downgrade and grace rules; it does not delete the user identity or historical data by itself.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

VRCPulse is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that analytics data will be accurate or complete. Use the service at your own risk.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VRCPulse and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service.

9. Changes to Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. Changes will be posted here with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

10. Contact
