Terms of Service

Effective: October 11, 2026

Last Updated: November 8, 2026

Welcome to LANITY. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of LANITY, including lanity.gg and LANITY's profiles, The LAN, game rooms, tables, crews, events, chat, community features, and related services. By creating an account or using LANITY, you agree to these Terms.

  1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use LANITY. LANITY is not intended for anyone under 18. When you join, you confirm that you're 18 or older. If we determine that an account belongs to someone under 18, we will stop it from taking part and may delete the account and associated information as appropriate. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you should review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian. Where applicable law requires parental or guardian permission for your use of an online service, you may use LANITY only with that permission.

  1. Your account

You are responsible for protecting your LANITY account. You agree to:

  • provide accurate information;
  • maintain control of your credentials;
  • use a strong password;
  • keep authentication codes private;
  • notify LANITY if you believe your account has been compromised.

If you sign in with Google or Discord:

  • keep that account secure too, because it can open your LANITY account;
  • Google's and Discord's own terms apply to your use of their services;
  • you can add a password or remove a sign-in method in Settings → Sign-in methods.

You may not:

  • access another person's account without permission;
  • share an account to evade moderation;
  • sell or transfer accounts without permission;
  • impersonate another person;
  • impersonate LANITY staff;
  • use bots or scripts to create accounts or get past LANITY's security checks.
  1. Community conduct

Your use of LANITY is also governed by the Community Guidelines. You may not use LANITY to:

  • harass or threaten others;
  • exploit or endanger minors;
  • distribute sexual content;
  • expose private information;
  • distribute malware;
  • commit fraud;
  • bypass moderation;
  • interfere with LANITY's systems;
  • engage in illegal activity.

Violation of these rules may result in restriction or termination of your account.

  1. Users under 18

LANITY does not permit users under 18. If you believe someone on LANITY is under 18, report them. No one may use LANITY to sexually exploit, groom, manipulate, solicit, or endanger minors. LANITY may take immediate action where behavior presents a risk to a minor.

  1. Your content

You retain ownership of content you submit to LANITY. This may include:

  • profile content;
  • display names;
  • chat messages;
  • crew content;
  • event participation;
  • feedback;
  • reports;
  • other user-generated content.

By submitting content, you grant LANITY a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, transmit, display, moderate, and reproduce that content only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, improve, and provide LANITY. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit the content.

  1. Community content and moderation

Content posted in public or community spaces should not be considered private. LANITY may process or review content when necessary for:

  • moderation;
  • abuse investigation;
  • account security;
  • legal compliance;
  • service operation.

LANITY may use automated tools such as profanity filters. Automated moderation is not perfect. You remain responsible for everything you submit even if a filter does not detect it.

  1. Alpha and Beta services

LANITY may make Alpha, Beta, preview, experimental, or unfinished features available. These features may:

  • contain bugs;
  • change without notice;
  • become unavailable;
  • lose test data;
  • operate differently from their final version.

Alpha testing exists to help us find problems. Do not rely on Alpha features for critical information or permanent storage.

  1. Game publishers and third parties

LANITY is an independent gaming community. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, LANITY is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by, or partnered with the developers or publishers of games represented on the platform. Game names, trademarks, logos, artwork, characters, and other intellectual property belong to their respective owners. LANITY may integrate with or rely on third-party infrastructure and services. Their availability can affect LANITY. Information LANITY shows from other services, such as the game Steam says you're playing or whether a Twitch channel is live, comes from those services. It's provided "as is" and "as available", may be late, incomplete or wrong, and comes without warranties of any kind, including of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title or non-infringement. Sections 14 and 15 apply to it, and if you're unhappy with it, your remedy is to stop using that feature (you can unlink it at any time in Settings). LANITY isn't affiliated with, or endorsed by, Valve (Steam) or Twitch. LANITY isn't endorsed by Riot Games and doesn't reflect the views or opinions of Riot Games or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot Games properties. Riot Games, and all associated properties are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc.

  1. LANITY intellectual property

LANITY owns or licenses its:

  • name;
  • branding;
  • original artwork;
  • software;
  • interface;
  • site design;
  • documentation;
  • original content.

You may not reproduce, resell, distribute, reverse engineer, or misuse LANITY's proprietary materials except where permitted by law or with our permission.

  1. Security

You may not:

  • probe systems without authorization;
  • bypass access controls;
  • exploit vulnerabilities;
  • interfere with other users;
  • distribute malicious software;
  • attempt unauthorized database or infrastructure access.

If you discover a security issue, please report it responsibly to: [security@lanity.gg]

  1. Suspension and termination

LANITY may restrict, suspend, or terminate an account if we reasonably believe it:

  • violated these Terms;
  • violated Community Guidelines;
  • created a safety risk;
  • threatened a minor;
  • committed fraud;
  • attacked the Service;
  • repeatedly disrupted the community.

Serious safety or security situations may result in immediate action.

  1. Account deletion

You may stop using LANITY at any time. You may request deletion of your account and personal information, subject to information we may need to retain for:

  • legal obligations;
  • fraud prevention;
  • security;
  • abuse investigations;
  • dispute resolution.
  1. Service availability

LANITY is provided on an "as available" basis. We do not guarantee:

  • uninterrupted operation;
  • permanent availability of features;
  • error-free service;
  • that other users will behave appropriately;
  • that moderation will detect every violation.

Maintenance, security incidents, development, or third-party outages may affect LANITY.

  1. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, LANITY is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Use the Service at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that cannot legally be waived.

  1. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, LANITY and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. This section does not limit liability where the law does not permit such limitation.

  1. Changes to LANITY

LANITY is actively developing. We may:

  • add features;
  • remove features;
  • change functionality;
  • modify community systems;
  • discontinue parts of the Service.
  1. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as LANITY evolves. The "Last Updated" date will indicate the current version. If changes are significant, we may provide additional notice through LANITY or email.

  1. Governing law

These Terms will be governed by the laws applicable to LANITY's operating entity. Before broad public launch, insert the final legal company name, jurisdiction, governing-law provision, and dispute-resolution language following attorney review.

  1. Supporter membership and tips

Supporter membership is an optional monthly payment of $5 (USD) that helps pay for running LANITY. Tips are optional one-time payments.

  • You must be 18 or older to become a supporter or send a tip.
  • A membership renews every month and is charged to your payment method until you cancel. You can cancel anytime from Manage my membership on the Support page; your perks continue until the end of the month you paid for.
  • Supporter perks are recognition and cosmetics only: a badge, an optional name on the Supporters wall, a profile accent and an optional thank-you in News. They don't affect games, matchmaking, tournaments or moderation, and nothing in LANITY is locked behind them.
  • Payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe's terms. LANITY doesn't receive your card details.
  • Memberships and tips aren't charitable donations and aren't tax-deductible.
  • If you're charged by mistake, email support@lanity.gg within 30 days and we'll refund that charge. Cancelling stops future charges but doesn't refund the current month, except where the law requires it.
  • We may change the price or the perks. We'll tell members before their next charge, and they can cancel. If LANITY ends memberships, we'll stop all future charges.
  • Deleting your LANITY account doesn't cancel your membership with Stripe. Cancel it first.
  • If your account is suspended, your perks stop showing until the suspension ends. You can still cancel anytime.
  • If your account is banned, we cancel your membership so you aren't charged again, refund your most recent membership payment, and delete your account.
