Terms and Conditions

📜 Terms of Service

Welcome to VanGuard, a powerful, all-purpose Discord bot designed to help manage and enhance online communities through features like moderation, utility tools, verification systems, and entertainment options. This Terms of Service ("TOS") agreement outlines the rules and conditions that govern your access and use of VanGuard ("the Bot"), developed and maintained by the VanGuard Development Team ("we", "our", or "us").

By using or inviting VanGuard to your Discord server, you agree to abide by the terms outlined in this document. Failure to comply may result in loss of access to the bot, blacklisting, or legal action in extreme cases.


1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using VanGuard in any capacity—including inviting the bot to a Discord server, executing commands, or configuring settings—you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our accompanying Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with these terms, you are prohibited from using or interacting with VanGuard.


2. Eligibility

To use VanGuard, you must:

  • Be at least 13 years old or the minimum legal age in your country to use digital services.

  • Have the authority to accept these terms on behalf of a server (if configuring bot settings or using admin features).

  • Use VanGuard only for lawful, ethical, and community-compliant purposes.

We reserve the right to terminate your access to VanGuard at any time for violation of these eligibility requirements.


3. Bot Usage Guidelines

When using VanGuard, you agree to the following usage terms:

Permitted Uses

Prohibited Uses

  • Abuse, spam, or flood the bot with requests.

  • Use VanGuard to harass, threaten, or harm others.

  • Exploit bugs or loopholes in the bot’s functionality.

  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or tamper with the bot’s source code unless permitted (e.g., open-source versions).

  • Promote hate speech, discriminatory content, or NSFW material through the bot.

Misuse of VanGuard may result in a permanent blacklist from all services.


4. Permissions & Access

VanGuard requires a range of permissions to function correctly. These include but are not limited to:

  • Manage Roles

  • Manage Channels

  • Kick Members

  • Ban Members

  • Read Messages

  • Send Messages

  • Use Application Commands

  • Embed Links

  • Attach Files

By inviting VanGuard, you grant it the permissions it requests. You understand that improper permission configurations may limit or break functionality. We are not responsible for missing functionality due to revoked or misconfigured permissions.


5. Server Configuration

Each Discord server may configure VanGuard differently. Configuration includes:

  • Language and localization settings

  • Verification systems

  • Role management logic

  • Command access levels

  • Logging and moderation preferences

All configurations are stored securely and can be reset or modified using slash commands or through an upcoming web dashboard.

  • Server configuration settings

  • Moderation logs (e.g., bans, kicks, mutes)

  • Usage analytics (command frequency, errors)

Data Security

We use secure storage methods and do not collect personally identifiable information (PII). We do not read or store message content unless explicitly required for specific commands (e.g., suggestion tracking). Data is never sold, shared, or traded with third parties unless legally required to do so.


7. Privacy

Your privacy is important to us. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for detailed information about what we collect and how it's used.

In summary:

  • We do not store message content or DMs.

  • We do not track user activity across servers.

  • We do not use your data for advertising purposes. VanGuard operates transparently and securely in compliance with Discord’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.


8. Content Moderation & Filtering

VanGuard includes features for content moderation, such as word filters, spam detection, and logging. Server admins configure these settings. You acknowledge that:

  • The bot may delete or log messages that violate configured rules.

  • Users may be automatically muted, kicked, or banned based on rule violations.

  • You (as a user or admin) are responsible for how these tools are configured and used.


9. Premium Access

  • Use of the bot in a server that promotes hate, violence, or illegal activities

Termination may be temporary or permanent, depending on the severity of the violation.
