Terms of Service

These terms are a contract between you — the person or organisation using Thorium — and Thorium Anti-Cheat Solutions (“Thorium”, “we”). Using the dashboard, the API or the plugin means you accept them.

If you accept on behalf of a company or a community, you are confirming you have the authority to bind it.

Thorium is a server-side anti-cheat. A plugin on your game server streams gameplay telemetry to our engine, the engine evaluates behavioural checks against it, and detections appear in your dashboard and in Discord.

Thorium reports. It does not decide. Automatic kicks and bans only happen where you configure them, at thresholds you set. What you do with a detection is your decision and your responsibility.

This is the most important section in this document, so it is not buried at the bottom.

Thorium’s checks are probabilistic. Every detection carries a confidence score because no server-side check can be certain: network conditions, client modifications, server lag, unusual but legitimate play, and the limits of the data the server receives all produce ambiguity. A detection is evidence, not proof.

Thorium does not warrant that any detection is accurate, that any flagged player is cheating, or that any cheat will be detected. False positives and false negatives are inherent to behavioural detection and will occur.

You are solely responsible for any action you take against a player. If you ban someone on the strength of a detection, that is your decision, made with your own judgement and your own rules, and any dispute with that player is between you and them. We supply evidence recordings precisely so you can review a flag before acting on it; we recommend you do.

• You must be at least 16 and give accurate registration details.
• You are responsible for everything done under your account and for keeping credentials secure. Turn on two-factor authentication.
• Tell us promptly at security@thorium.ac if you believe your account has been compromised.
• Members you invite to your organisation act with the permissions you grant them, and their actions bind the organisation.

• Paid plans are billed in advance through PayNow, our payment provider. We never see your card details.
• Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period until cancelled.
• You can cancel at any time from the dashboard. Access continues until the end of the period you have already paid for; we do not pro-rate.
• We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice by email. The change takes effect at your next renewal, and you can cancel before then.
• Fees are exclusive of tax unless stated otherwise.
• If a payment fails and is not resolved, we may downgrade or suspend the organisation.

Refunds are not automatic. If the service did not do what we said it would, email billing@thorium.ac and we will look at it honestly.

Do not:

• Use Thorium on a server you do not operate or have permission to operate.
• Feed the platform fabricated telemetry, or attempt to have it flag a player who is not doing what the telemetry claims.
• Resell, sublicense or white-label the service without a written agreement with us.
• Reverse engineer the detection engine, or use the service to build a competing product.
• Probe, scan or load-test our infrastructure without written permission. Responsible disclosure to security@thorium.ac is always welcome.
• Use the service to harass a specific person, or to build a profile of someone for a purpose unrelated to moderating your server.

Thorium processes data about the people on your server on your instruction. Under data protection law you are the controller of that data and we are your processor.

That means you must:

• Tell your players that an anti-cheat runs on your server, what it observes, and that a third party processes it on your behalf. Your server rules or privacy notice is the usual place.
• Have a lawful basis for that processing.
• Handle player requests for access or deletion, and pass them to us where you need us to act.
• Keep your Thorium configuration — alert channels, role mentions, retention choices — consistent with what you have told your players.

What we collect on your behalf is set out in the Privacy Policy.

We grant you a non-exclusive, revocable licence to install and run the Thorium plugin on servers you operate, for as long as your subscription is active.

The platform, the detection engine and the Thorium name remain ours. Telemetry from your server, and the detections derived from it, remain yours; we use them to provide the service and, in aggregate and non-identifying form, to measure and improve detection accuracy.

We aim for continuous availability and we monitor the platform continuously, but we do not currently offer a contractual uptime guarantee. Maintenance, provider outages and faults will cause interruptions.

If your game server cannot reach Thorium, it keeps running — the plugin fails open. Your players are not kicked because our service is unavailable.

You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaches these terms, that does not pay, or whose use threatens the stability or security of the platform. Where the circumstances allow it, we will warn you first and give you a chance to put it right.

On termination your access ends and, after 30 days, your organisation’s data is deleted. Export anything you want to keep before then.

The service is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, and we do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that it will detect any particular cheat or cheating client.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, for lost profits, lost players or reputational harm, or for any action you take against a player on the basis of a detection.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of these terms is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

You agree to indemnify us against claims brought by third parties — including your players — arising from how you operate your server, how you use detections, or your breach of these terms.

We may change these terms. For material changes we will email the address on your account at least 30 days before they take effect; continuing to use the service after that means you accept them.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, and the courts of that state have exclusive jurisdiction.
