Terms of Service for HephBot Translate

Last Updated: May 29th, 2025

Welcome to HephBot Translate! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the HephBot Translate Discord bot ("Bot") and its associated website hbtranslate.solutions (collectively, the "Service"), provided by "Frogmaster" ("we," "us," or "our"). By adding the Bot to your Discord server, using its commands, or accessing our Website, you agree to these Terms.

Please read these Terms carefully. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

1. Use of the Service

Eligibility: You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) and comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines to use our Service.

License: We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purposes in accordance with these Terms.

Acceptable Use: You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in any way that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service or interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of the Service. Prohibited activities include, but are not limited to:

  • Transmitting any content that is illegal, harmful, threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable.
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or computer systems or networks connected to the Service.
  • Using the Service to send spam or unsolicited messages.
  • Abusing the translation features, such as by submitting excessively long texts repeatedly with the intent to disrupt service or incur unreasonable costs for premium engine usage.

2. User Accounts and Responsibilities

Discord Account: Use of the Bot requires a Discord account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Discord account.

Website Dashboard: Access to certain features on our Website may require logging in via Discord OAuth.

Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) Tiers: If you subscribe to a premium tier that requires you to provide your own API key for a third-party service (e.g., Groq, OpenAI):

  • You are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining your API key from the third-party provider.
  • You are responsible for all usage costs associated with your API key charged by the third-party provider. Our subscription fee for BYOK tiers covers the use of the Bot's features with your key, not the costs incurred from the API provider.
  • You must comply with the terms of service of the third-party API provider.
  • You agree to provide valid and legitimate API keys. We store these keys in an encrypted format as outlined in our Privacy Policy.

3. Premium Services & Subscriptions

Tiers and Features: We offer various premium tiers for users and guilds, providing access to advanced features and translation engines. Details of these tiers are available on our Website (hbtranslate.solutions/premium) or through Discord's App Subscription interface for HephBot Translate.

Payments and Billing: Premium subscriptions are managed through Discord's App Subscription system. All payments, billing, renewals, and cancellations are handled by Discord according to their terms and policies. We do not process payments directly.

Changes to Fees: We reserve the right to change our subscription fees or introduce new charges upon reasonable notice, which may be provided by posting the changes on our Website or through Discord.

4. Intellectual Property

The Service, including the Bot, Website, its original content (excluding user-provided content, translated content output by third-party APIs, or third-party API outputs), features, and functionality are and will remain the exclusive property of "Frogmaster" and its licensors. "HephBot Translate" and its associated logos are trademarks belonging to us.

5. Service Availability and Modifications

We strive to keep the Service operational. However, all online services suffer occasional disruptions and outages. We may alter, suspend, or discontinue the Service, or features of the Service, at any time and for any reason, without notice.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Service "As Is": The Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without any warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

Translation Accuracy: While we strive to provide high-quality translations, especially through premium LLM engines, we do not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any translations. Translations are provided for convenience and general understanding, and may be subject to the limitations of the underlying translation engines used.

Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall we be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from (a) your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service; (b) any conduct or content of any third party on the Service; or (c) unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

7. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to our Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. If you wish to terminate your account or use of the Service, you may simply discontinue using the Service and remove the Bot from your servers.

8. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will make reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect, for example, by posting on our Website or through an announcement in our support server. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.

By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, in whole or in part, please stop using the Website and the Service.
