Terms of service related to sp-tarkov.com

SPT strives to provide its users with services and information that facilitate the discussion and distribution of user-submitted Escape From Tarkov - SPT related game modifications ("mods"). To that end, this document establishes various acknowledgements, entitlements, and restrictions in regards to the usage of SPT websites, content, systems, and software. SPT reserves the right to discontinue providing any or all of these services, as well as cease any form of communications, to any user or organisation and for any reason and at any time.

General Usage of Websites and Services

By accessing SPT services, you hereby represent that you are aged 16 or older.

You will use SPT services reasonably and as intended. You may not display, duplicate, dismantle, reverse engineer, circumvent, or repurpose any property or service owned or operated by SPT without consent. You will not intentionally harm, disparage, or in any way disrupt the operation of SPT websites, systems, property, or staff. You view and use all content at your own risk. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any content presented. User-submitted content expresses the views of the author, not necessarily the views of any staff at SPT.

In the interest of upholding our community standards when it comes to etiquette, we ask you to abstain from interacting with user-submitted content that you do not find to your liking, rather than engaging in active disparagement of content you disapprove of.

Anti-Piracy Policy

We have a strict anti-piracy policy and will take proactive action against anyone whose on-site activity gives us reasonable grounds to believe they are using pirated content such as, but not limited to, games and software. Discussing, promoting or distributing such content on our sites will be met with administrative action.

Fair Use Policy

Attempting to download files or otherwise record data offered through our services (including but not limited to the SPT website) in a fashion that drastically exceeds the expected average, through the use of software automation or otherwise, is prohibited without expressed permission. Users found in violation of this policy will have their account suspended.

Given the volume of user-submitted content on our services, we rely on community reports and reactive moderation when it comes to upholding our various rules and guidelines. The mere existence of a file violating our rules on our services does not imply our approval of, or indifference to said file. As such, user-submitted content which is found to be in violation of our standards is not excusable based on the existence of other, similar submissions.

Prohibited and Illicit Content
