1. Introduction
DiscoMaps ("we," "our," "us") provides a community-driven platform for Dead as Disco players,
including custom beatmap hosting, global leaderboards, profile customization, community
playlists, and competitive tournaments. By using our website or creating an account, you agree
to these Terms of Service.
2. User Accounts
You must provide a valid email address to register. Authentication is performed through
email-based account creation and login. You are responsible for all activity on your account.
3. Supporter Payments
DiscoMaps offers an optional Supporter role to help cover hosting and development costs.
Supporter status is voluntary.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. DiscoMaps does not store or process full payment
card details.
Supporter status grants time-limited benefits for the selected duration, including:
- The ability to create more playlists containing more maps per playlist.
- The ability to create up to 3 tournaments per calendar month.
- Animated profile picture support.
- Cosmetic badges and profile customization options.
Supporter benefits do not include gameplay advantages or exclusive access to site content.
Supporter payments are considered voluntary contributions. Except where required by applicable
law, payments are non-refundable once processed.
DiscoMaps may modify, add, or remove Supporter benefits at any time. Such changes will not
affect the optional nature of supporter status.
4. Uploads and Content Ownership
All map data (.json files), metadata, and audio (.ogg files) are uploaded by community members.
You retain ownership of any original content you submit but grant DiscoMaps a limited,
worldwide, non-exclusive license to host, cache, process, and display that content solely for
the purpose of operating and improving the service.
By uploading, you represent and warrant that you either:
- own the rights to the uploaded materials, or
- have obtained permission from the copyright owner to use and share them on DiscoMaps.
Users are solely responsible for the content they upload. DiscoMaps does not verify, pre-screen,
or actively monitor uploaded content for legal compliance.
5. Profile Customization
Users may upload a profile picture (avatar) to personalize their account. Profile pictures are
publicly visible to all visitors of the site.
By uploading a profile picture, you grant DiscoMaps a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license
to display it as part of your public profile. You represent that you have the right to use
the image and that it does not infringe any third-party copyright or trademark.
Profile pictures must not contain:
- Nudity, sexually explicit, or graphic violent imagery.
- Hate symbols, slurs, or content targeting individuals or groups.
- Content that impersonates another person or organization.
- Copyrighted imagery used without authorization.
DiscoMaps reserves the right to remove profile pictures that violate these guidelines and to
suspend accounts that repeatedly upload non-compliant images.
6. Playlists
Users may create and share playlists, curated collections of beatmaps hosted on DiscoMaps.
Playlists reference existing map entries and do not host additional audio or copyrighted
material independently.
Playlist names, descriptions, and cover images must comply with these Terms and must not
contain offensive, misleading, or infringing content. DiscoMaps reserves the right to remove
playlists or playlist content that violates these Terms.
You retain ownership of the curation and metadata of playlists you create, but grant DiscoMaps
a license to display and distribute them as part of the service.
7. Tournaments
DiscoMaps allows users to organize and participate in community tournaments, including bracket
and gauntlet formats. By participating in or organizing a tournament, you agree to the
following:
- Score integrity: submitted scores must reflect genuine gameplay. Score
manipulation, exploits, or unauthorized tools are prohibited and may result in
disqualification and account suspension.
- Organizer responsibilities: tournament organizers are responsible for the accuracy
of their tournament settings, map selections, and any prizes they advertise. DiscoMaps
does not guarantee, fund, or administer prizes on behalf of organizers.
- Finality of results: tournament outcomes are determined by the scores submitted
within the active window. DiscoMaps staff may correct results in cases of clear technical
error but do not arbitrate disputes between players.
- Conduct: harassment or unsportsmanlike behavior directed at other participants
during or after a tournament may result in disqualification or a platform ban.
- Map compliance: maps used in tournaments are subject to the same copyright and
content policies as all other hosted content.
DiscoMaps reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or remove any tournament that violates these
Terms or is used to abuse the platform.
8. Copyright & Takedowns
DiscoMaps respects the rights of creators. If you believe that content hosted on the site
infringes your copyright, please follow the DMCA & Legal Notice procedure described in Legal
(DMCA). We promptly investigate all valid complaints.
9. Mod & Script Interaction
DiscoMaps may provide optional scripts or mods that interact with the game Dead as Disco to
display user-submitted beatmap data, leaderboard information, tournament scores, or cosmetic
features.
These scripts collect and transmit only non-sensitive data such as beatmap identifiers, map
metadata, scores, rankings, settings, and mod configuration data. No gameplay-altering
functionality, account credentials, or personal files are accessed.
Use of third-party mod loaders or scripts is voluntary and occurs at the user's discretion.
Some optional mods or scripts may require users to generate a personal API key and place it in a
local configuration file (e.g., api_key.txt) to enable communication with DiscoMaps
services. API keys are generated by the user, are not automatically created or transmitted
without user action, and can be revoked at any time.
10. Liability Disclaimer
DiscoMaps is a community platform and does not endorse, verify, or guarantee that uploaded
content is legally licensed. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding any content
made available through the service, including tournament prizes advertised by third-party
organizers.
In no event shall DiscoMaps or its contributors be liable for any indirect, incidental, or
consequential damages arising from the use of or inability to use the service.
11. Termination
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, applicable law, or our copyright
policies. Repeat infringement or abuse of the platform may result in permanent bans.
12. Changes to the Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes
acceptance of the revised Terms.
