SpeedWelcome to Speedle! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website located at https://playspeedle.com, https://speedle.se, https://speedle.cc, the Speedle web and mobile games, the official Speedle Discord application/bot, and any related services, leaderboards, or content provided by Speedle ("Speedle," "we," "us," or "our") (collectively, the "Service").
By accessing, browsing, or playing Speedle—whether as a guest on our website, via a registered account, or through our integrated Discord application—you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility and Access
1.1. Minimum Age: You must be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country of residence, such as 16 in certain European Union member states) to create an account or use the Service via Discord. If you are under 18, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
1.2. Service Updates: We are constantly evolving Speedle. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service (including specific daily tracks, game physics, mechanics, cars, trails, or Discord features) at any time, temporarily or permanently, with or without notice.
2. Accounts, Guest Play, and Discord Integration
2.1. Guest Play & Local Storage: You may play Speedle without registering an account. However, if you play as a guest, your progress, daily streaks, unlocked cars, trails, and settings may be stored locally in your browser or device cache. We are not responsible for any loss of game progress, streaks, or unlocks resulting from clearing your browser cache, switching devices, using private/incognito browsing, or local data corruption.
2.2. Registered Accounts & Third-Party Login: You may link or create an account using third-party services such as Discord OAuth. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your linked accounts.
2.3. Discord Bot & Embedded Activity: When you play Speedle via our official Discord integration or in a server using the Speedle bot, you agree that your username, display name, car/trail selection, lap times, ranks, and streak data will be visible to other members of that Discord server (including in automated daily summary/podium posts). Your use of Discord is additionally governed by Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
2.4. No Account Sharing or Selling: Your account and its progression (including long-term streak unlocks) are personal to you. You may not sell, trade, gift, rent, or transfer your account to any other person.
3. Virtual Currency, Cars, and Trails (Virtual Items)
3.1. Limited License: The Service includes virtual in-game currency (such as "Emeralds") and virtual cosmetic items, including but not limited to unlockable Cars and tire Trails (collectively, "Virtual Items"). Whether earned through gameplay, daily streaks, achievements, promotional events, or purchased (if applicable), Virtual Items are not your private property. Instead, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable limited license to use those Virtual Items solely within the Service.
3.2. No Monetary Value: Virtual Items have no real-world monetary value, cannot be redeemed or exchanged for real money, goods, or services from us or any third party, and do not constitute a personal property right.
3.3. Management of Virtual Items: We reserve the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, rebalance, re-price, or eliminate Virtual Items at any time in our sole discretion. We shall have no liability to you or any third party if we exercise any such rights, or if your account is terminated and your Virtual Items are forfeited.
4. Fair Play, Anti-Cheat, and Leaderboard Integrity
Speedle is built on fair daily time-trial competition. By using the Service, you agree that you will not:
- Use Cheats or Automation: Use, develop, or distribute any cheats, macros, bots, auto-clickers, tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) software, scripts, or unauthorized third-party tools designed to automate or assist driving inputs.
- Manipulate Physics or Client Code: Modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, or tamper with the game client, browser memory, frame rate/tick rate, game speed, or physics engine to gain an unfair time advantage.
- Spoof Network Traffic: Intercept, emulate, or falsify API requests, telemetry data, or leaderboard submission packets sent to playspeedle.com servers.
- Abuse Track Exploits: Intentionally exploit unintended glitches or out-of-bounds bugs to bypass track checkpoints or record invalid lap times.
Enforcement: We monitor leaderboard submissions using automated and manual verification. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without prior notice, to remove any suspicious lap time, invalidate daily podium placements, reset your daily streak, revoke unlocked ranks/items, or permanently ban your account and IP address from the Service.
5. User Conduct
When interacting with the Service or official Speedle community spaces (including our official Discord server), you agree not to:
- Use any username, display name, or profile attribute that is racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, sexually explicit, defamatory, hateful, or impersonates Speedle developers/staff.
- Harass, bully, threaten, or dox other players.
- Use the Service for unauthorized commercial advertising, spam, phishing, or distributing malware.
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or launch Denial of Service (DoS/DDoS) attacks against playspeedle.com or our backend infrastructure.

7.1. "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE": The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
7.2. No Guarantee of Daily Streaks or Uptime: While we strive to keep playspeedle.com running smoothly every day, we do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. You expressly acknowledge that we are not liable for any lost daily streaks, missed daily tracks, unrecorded lap times, or delayed unlock progression (such as multi-day car challenges) caused by server maintenance, hosting outages, network failures, timezone rollovers, or software bugs.
8. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Speedle, its developers, moderators, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or in-game progression arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to use) the Service.
In no event shall our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Service exceed the greater of: (a) the total amount you have paid to us for the Service in the six (6) months immediately preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred Swedish Kronor (100 SEK) (or equivalent in local currency). Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so under applicable mandatory consumer protection laws.
9. Privacy and Data Protection
Your privacy is important to us. Our collection and processing of personal data (such as account identifiers, Discord user IDs, IP addresses, cookies, and gameplay telemetry) is described in our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you acknowledge that your data will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
10. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service (including your account, leaderboard entries, and access to the Discord application) at any time, with or without cause or notice, particularly if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms. Upon termination, your license to use the Service and any associated Virtual Items immediately ceases.
11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
11.1. Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
11.2. EU Consumer Rights: If you are a consumer habitually residing in the European Union, you additionally enjoy the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of your country of residence.
11.3. Jurisdiction: Any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of Sweden, unless mandatory consumer law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.
