Terms of Service

By adding Tempo to a Discord server, or by using its commands, you agree to these terms. If you are adding it on behalf of a league, you confirm you are permitted to do so on that server.

Who you are agreeing with

Tempo Leagues operates the Tempo service. In these terms, “we” and “us” mean Tempo Leagues. We are based in Alabama, United States and receive payment for the service. Any notice, question or complaint under these terms should go to [email protected], which is also on the support page.

What Tempo is

Tempo is a Discord bot that automates league administration — teams, drafts, a points economy, upgrade approvals and league communication. It is sold as two separate products, Tempo Football (College Football and Madden) and Tempo Hoops (NBA 2K), which are separate Discord applications. It is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc., Electronic Arts, or Take-Two Interactive. Game names and team names are the property of their respective owners and are used only to describe what the leagues our users run are about.

Your responsibilities

• Follow the Discord Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. They apply to everything you do with Tempo.
• Do not use Tempo to harass anyone, to distribute illegal content, or to run gambling with real money or anything of real-world value. Tempo's points are an in-league scoring mechanic and nothing else.
• Do not attempt to break, overload, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the bot or its infrastructure.
• You are responsible for what your league's members and commissioners write into Tempo — team names, rules, welcome messages and the rest.

Availability

Tempo is provided as-is and as-available. We will try to keep it running, but we do not promise uptime, and features may change, be renamed or be withdrawn. We may impose reasonable limits to keep the service stable for everyone.

Paid plans

• Tempo Football and Tempo Hoops are each a paid subscription: $24.99 per year, per server. One subscription covers that Discord server and everyone in it; individual members are never charged. A second league in a second server needs its own subscription, and the two products are sold separately — a subscription to one does not grant access to the other.
• You start a subscription by running /activate in your server. Payment is processed by Stripe; we never see or handle your card details. The price is charged in the currency shown at Stripe's checkout, and any tax due is added there.
• Only the server owner, a member with Manage Server, or a commissioner can start a subscription. Whoever does is buying it for the server, not for themselves: if they leave, the subscription stays with the server.
• Subscriptions renew automatically each year until cancelled. You can cancel at any time in Stripe's billing portal, which /activate opens for you once a server is active. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• If a subscription lapses, Tempo's commands stop working in that server after a short grace period. Your league's data is not deleted, and resubscribing restores access to it.
• We do not offer refunds for the unused part of a period, except where the consumer law where you live requires one. If you believe it does, including a statutory right to withdraw from a distance contract, email [email protected] and we will honour it. If a payment succeeded but your server did not unlock, that is a fault on our side and not a refund question: tell us at the same address and we will fix it or refund it.
• Prices can change. Changes only take effect on renewal, and we will tell you before that happens.

Your data

Handled as described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms. In short: Discord IDs and the text your league types in, never message content or usernames.

Termination

You can stop at any time by removing Tempo from your server. We may suspend or remove access to any server that breaks these terms or that puts the service at risk, and we will explain why where we reasonably can. Removing the bot does not by itself delete your league's data — see the Privacy Policy for how to have it erased.

Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Tempo is provided without warranty of any kind, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data, arising from your use of it. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law. Tempo runs a video-game league; please keep any dispute in proportion to that.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the state and federal courts located in Alabama have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

If you are a consumer resident outside that jurisdiction, this does not take away any protection you have under the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in, or your right to bring a claim in your local courts where that law says you can.

Before filing anything, please email [email protected] and give us 30 days to sort it out. Most of what reaches us is a bug or a billing mistake and both are quicker to fix than to litigate. Either of us can still seek urgent injunctive relief without waiting.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. Material changes will be announced on this page and the date at the top will change; if the change affects what you pay, we will also email the address on the subscription. Continuing to use Tempo after that means you accept the new version.

Contact

Email [email protected] for anything at all, including billing, refunds, disputes and formal notices under these terms. The support page lists what to include so we can answer quickly.
