Welcome to the Coding Contests Companion Bot ("Bot"), a Discord bot designed to provide information about coding contests and daily coding challenges from popular coding platforms. By using the Bot, you agree to the following Terms of Service ("Terms"). These Terms govern your use of the Bot and its features. Please read them carefully.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By adding or using the Bot in your Discord server, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, do not use the Bot.

The Bot provides features including, but not limited to:

By using the Bot, you grant us permission to:

  • Access and interact with your Discord server.
  • Store and process your server information (e.g., server name, user roles) to provide the service.
  • Send messages to your server's text channels in accordance with the Bot's features (e.g., contest reminders, daily problems).

6. Modifications to Service

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Bot or any feature of the Bot at any time, without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or termination of the Bot's service.

7. Prohibited Uses

You agree not to:

  • Use the Bot for any illegal activities or in violation of any laws or regulations.
  • Use the Bot to harass, abuse, or harm others.
  • Attempt to exploit or harm the Bot, its features, or other users through hacking, data mining, or unauthorized access.
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of the Bot.

8. Limitation of Liability

The Bot is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim any warranties, either express or implied, regarding the Bot, including but not limited to any warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
