Terms of Service
Effective 14 August 2026
1. Agreement
By using TourneyRook you agree to these terms. If you are using it on behalf of a club or organization, you agree on their behalf too.
2. The service
TourneyRook is software for organizing and following chess tournaments. It is in active development: features may change, appear or be withdrawn as the product matures, and availability is not yet guaranteed.
3. Your account
Accounts are created by signing in with Google. The display name you confirm appears on pairing sheets and public standings — use a name the people in your club will recognise. You are responsible for activity under your account.
4. Organizers
If you organize an event, you are responsible for having permission to list its participants by name, for the accuracy of the results you enter, and for how you share the event's public spectator link.
5. Acceptable use
Don't misuse the service: no attempts to break or overload it, no impersonating other people, no entering content that is unlawful or abusive, and no scraping other people's personal data from it.
6. Your data
Your tournament data remains yours. You grant us the licence needed to store it, process it and display it — that is what the product does. How we handle personal data is described in the Privacy Policy.
7. Third-party platforms
Online games may be arranged through third-party chess platforms. Your use of those platforms is governed by their own terms, not ours.
8. Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Chess results recorded in TourneyRook are records kept by the event's organizer, not official ratings data.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, TourneyRook is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and its total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim — which, for the free service, is nothing.
10. Termination
You can stop using TourneyRook at any time and request deletion of your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these terms.
11. Changes
If these terms change materially, we will update the date above. Continued use after a change means the new terms apply.
