Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of LudoTrace — the Client, game mods, App, and backend service (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Timbertree Studios LLC, a limited liability company organized in Missouri, United States. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms.

The service

LudoTrace captures structured gameplay events from a local mod running inside a supported game, uploads them, and generates a written insight about your session using an LLM. Raw event data is discarded after processing — see our Privacy Policy for the full data-handling details.

Accounts

You need an account to use LudoTrace, created via email or a supported third-party sign-in (e.g. Google). You're responsible for keeping access to your account secure and for all activity under it. Access during the private beta may be waitlist- or invite-gated.

Subscriptions and billing

LudoTrace offers a free tier and paid subscription tiers with additional usage and features. Paid subscriptions are billed and processed by Stripe. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through the billing portal linked in the App. Cancelling stops future billing; it does not retroactively refund the current billing period unless required by law.

Game mods and third-party games

LudoTrace's capture mods are open source and run locally inside your game. They read local game/save data to produce the event log the Client uploads — they do not modify game files, interact with anti-cheat systems, or grant any advantage in multiplayer. You're responsible for confirming that using a LudoTrace mod doesn't violate the terms of service of the specific game or platform (e.g. Steam, a game's EULA) you're playing. LudoTrace is not affiliated with, and does not receive any support from, the publishers of the games it supports.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to upload data that isn't genuinely yours or generated by your own gameplay
• Attempt to abuse, overload, or reverse-engineer the Service's APIs or infrastructure
• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Circumvent usage limits or billing associated with your account tier

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Your content

You retain ownership of your gameplay data and the insights generated from it. We process your session data solely to generate your insight and don't use it for any other purpose, as described in the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Service, including any LLM-generated insight, is provided "as is." Insights are generated automatically and may be inaccurate or incomplete — they're meant to be interesting and useful, not authoritative. We make no warranty that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times, particularly during the private beta.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Timbertree Studios LLC is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Termination

You can delete your account at any time from the App's account settings, which immediately and permanently removes your data. We may suspend or terminate access to the Service for violation of these terms or, during the private beta, at our discretion with reasonable notice where practical.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Changes to these terms

If we make material changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
