Ayios — Terms of Service

Last updated: — Version: —

Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to and use of Ayios on Discord, including any features, integrations, and services provided by Ayios (“Ayios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By using Ayios, you agree to these Terms and any policies referenced within them.

If you do not agree, do not use Ayios.

We may update these Terms from time to time; continued use of Ayios after an update means you accept the updated Terms.

1. Eligibility & Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old to access or use Ayios on Discord.

  • By using Ayios, you represent that you meet Discord’s minimum age requirements and any other applicable requirements.
  • Users found to be under 13 may be restricted or banned.

2. Discord / Third-Party Compliance

Ayios is not affiliated with Discord or any other third party. However, since Ayios operates on Discord:

  • You must comply with Discord’s Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, and other applicable policies while using Ayios on Discord.
  • Ayios may take action for third-party rule violations when they reasonably affect Ayios, its users, or its operations.

3. Scope of Enforcement & Discretion

Ayios enforcement is discretionary and context-based.

  • Sometimes, Ayios enforces rules strictly when a Discord server uses Ayios or when conduct is tied to Ayios operations.
  • Other times, Ayios may choose not to take action — even if a technical violation exists.
  • Enforcement decisions may consider severity, intent, impact, history, and relevance to Ayios.
Key principle: Ayios enforcement is based on involvement and impact, not solely on whether an Ayios command or feature was directly used.

4. Prohibited Conduct

You may not, directly or indirectly:

  • Impersonate Ayios staff, representatives, or affiliates (outside of clear, obvious satire).
  • Submit, coordinate, or encourage malicious or knowingly false reports (including mass/fraudulent reporting).
  • Conduct actions that reasonably damage Ayios’s reputation, operations, infrastructure, users, or staff.
  • Encourage or assist others in violating Ayios rules or policies.
  • Evade enforcement actions (e.g., suspensions/bans) using alternate accounts or by creating new Discord accounts or Discord servers.
  • Spread defamatory or knowingly false information about Ayios where not clearly satirical.
  • Abuse, overload, interfere with, or misuse Ayios services, systems, or APIs.
  • Automate commands/interactions with Ayios in a disruptive way or to gain unfair advantage.

5. Security, Bugs & Exploits

The following are prohibited:

  • Exploiting bugs or vulnerabilities in Ayios.
  • Publicly disclosing methods for exploiting Ayios vulnerabilities.
  • Exploiting or disclosing vulnerabilities in other bots/services where such actions could reasonably impact Ayios, its users, or Discord servers connected to Ayios.
  • Using Ayios in a way that compromises security, stability, or service integrity.

Responsible disclosure to Ayios staff is allowed and encouraged.

6. Fraud, Scams, and Unlawful or Abusive Activity

The following conduct is prohibited where it reasonably relates to, involves, impacts, or is associated with Ayios, Ayios users, or Ayios operations on Discord:

  • Fraud, scams, or deceptive practices, including improper chargebacks or payment abuse.
  • Operating, facilitating, or participating in online or real-world scams.
  • Stealing, hijacking, or attempting to compromise Discord accounts.
  • Intentionally destroying, disabling, or severely disrupting Discord servers (“nuking”) through permission abuse, mass actions, or similar conduct (including conduct that violates platform rules or contractual obligations).
  • Violating applicable local, state, federal, or international laws.
  • Promoting, facilitating, or encouraging unlawful or abusive activity.
  • Copyright or trademark violations, including unauthorized distribution of protected materials.

Clear satire or fictional content is exempt where a reasonable person would understand it as such.

7. Content & Conduct Standards

Ayios may take action against any user or Discord server that engages in, contributes to, facilitates, endorses, or meaningfully participates in the following conduct, whether or not Ayios was directly used:

  • Harassment, threats, intimidation, or blackmail.
  • Hate speech or discrimination against protected characteristics.
  • Fear-inducing, graphic, or disturbing content without justification.
  • Encouraging, promoting, or normalizing self-harm or suicide.
  • Circumventing safeguards, filters, or moderation systems.
  • Distributing malware or malicious software.
  • Collecting, sharing, or disclosing personal information without consent (“doxxing”).
  • Spam, raids, coordinated disruptions, or abusive advertising that reasonably implicates Ayios.
Clarifier: Mere presence in a Discord server is not necessarily sufficient for enforcement; participation, facilitation, or meaningful contribution is.

8. Enforcement Actions

Ayios may take any action it deems appropriate, including but not limited to:

  • Warnings
  • Restrictions or feature limitations
  • Temporary suspensions
  • Permanent bans
  • Discord server-level enforcement

Violations not explicitly listed may still result in enforcement. Ayios is not required to provide advance notice or progressive discipline.

9. Data, Logging & Privacy

Ayios may collect and log operational data necessary to provide, secure, and enforce its services on Discord.

  • This may include command usage, message references/links, identifiers, timestamps, and system metadata.
  • Ayios does not sell personal data.

10. Agreement

By using Ayios on Discord, you agree to:

  • These Terms of Service
  • The Ayios Privacy Policy
  • Ayios’s authority to enforce these Terms in order to protect its services, users, and operations
