Terms of Use

About Squadly

Squadly is operated by Squadly team. These terms cover the Squadly website and Discord bot. By using Squadly, you agree to these terms. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data.

Squadly helps players discover teammates, choose compatible game and communication preferences, and connect on Discord. It is an independent service, not operated or endorsed by Discord, Valve, or game publishers. Game names, trademarks and artwork belong to their respective owners.

Who can use Squadly

You must be at least 13 and meet any higher minimum age required by your local law and Discord. You must also meet the age and access requirements of each game you choose to play. Where required, a parent or legal guardian must permit your use.

Provide accurate information, keep access to your Discord account secure, and do not impersonate another person. Squadly does not need your Discord or Steam password; sign-in and account linking happen through those providers.

Profiles, matches and contact sharing

Your player profile and game preferences may be shown to other signed-in players for discovery. Compatibility, experience, rank and game preferences are recommendations or self-reported information, not verified identity, skill or safety guarantees.

Web-to-web Discord contacts unlock after a mutual match. Bot invitations are enabled by default for new Discord-authenticated web accounts; you can disable them in My profile. Accepting a bot invitation shares Discord contacts with the matched guest.

Starting an anonymous bot search makes your temporary profile discoverable by compatible web players and bot guests. Starting that search expresses your choice to match with compatible players: a compatible guest match or a web player's like can complete the match and share both Discord contact links. Your Discord identity remains known to Squadly and Discord even while hidden from other players.

Discord searches and temporary rooms

A bot search and its temporary private text channel last up to 24 hours from starting search. You can cancel with /squadly cancel. Server administrators can fix the game used by the bot and control whether the host server creates voice rooms.

After a match, an optional voice room may be offered on the origin server of the player who started searching first. Guest-to-web matches use the guest's origin server. Voice rooms are open to members of their host server, and using the invite may require joining that server.

A voice room is scheduled for deletion after at most 4 hours, or earlier after 30 consecutive minutes without participants. A participant entering resets the empty-room timer. Discord outages or missing bot permissions can delay channel creation or deletion. Keep the user contact link if you want to stay in touch after a room expires.

Discord server administrators retain their platform permissions, including access to channels described as private. Squadly does not record voice audio. Discord's own terms, privacy policy and server rules also apply.

Respect other players

Do not use Squadly for harassment, threats, hate, discrimination, sexual exploitation, scams, spam, doxxing, illegal activity, or sharing private information without permission. Do not publish another person's credentials or sensitive information.

Do not bypass blocks, suspensions, age restrictions, rate limits or server settings. Do not scrape profiles, automate abusive activity, exploit vulnerabilities, or interfere with the service. Follow the applicable Discord Community Guidelines and game rules.

You are responsible for your interactions and the content you submit. Use blocking, reports and server moderation when needed; contact [email protected] for service or safety concerns.

Your content and reviews

You keep ownership of the content you submit. You give Squadly permission to store, process and display that content as needed to operate the features you use, such as your profile, game preferences and reviews.

Submit only content you are entitled to share. Reviews should describe real play experiences and must not contain threats, personal attacks or private information. Ratings become available only through the service's confirmation rules; a rating is not a verified statement of fact about a player.

We may remove content or restrict accounts to address abuse, security issues, legal obligations or violations of these terms. You can ask us to review a moderation decision by contacting [email protected].

Optional features and costs

Steam linking and playtime imports are optional. Imported hours reflect the public information made available by Steam; they do not verify a player's ability, identity or conduct. Editing imported hours removes their verified status until another qualifying import.

Browser notifications require your browser's permission and can be turned off. Core matchmaking is currently free. Registering interest in possible premium features does not create a purchase, subscription or payment obligation. Any future paid feature would need its own clearly disclosed price and terms.

Availability and responsibility

We work to keep Squadly usable, but cannot promise uninterrupted access, a particular match, accurate user-submitted content, or the continued availability of Discord, Steam or any game. Features may change or become unavailable.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Squadly is provided as available without additional guarantees. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or limits consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. You remain responsible for deciding whether to contact or play with another person.

Stopping use and deleting data

You can stop using Squadly, sign out, turn off bot invitations, cancel a bot search, revoke access in Discord, or remove the bot from your server. Signing out, revoking access or removing the bot does not by itself delete your registered Squadly profile or persistent server settings.

For account or server-data deletion, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your control of the relevant account or server. The Privacy Policy explains retention and any records that may need to be kept for security or legal reasons. Deleting Squadly data cannot recall contacts already shared with another player or remove records independently held by Discord or Steam.

Changes and questions

We may update these terms when the service changes or legal requirements make an update necessary. The date at the top identifies the current version. We will provide an appropriate notice for material changes where required. If you do not agree to revised terms, stop using the service.

For questions, complaints or requests about these terms, contact Squadly team at [email protected]. Your mandatory rights under applicable law remain unaffected.
