Terms of Service

1. Agreement and operator

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) apply to the KAMLA Discord bot and the KAMLA website at kamla-bot.pages.dev (together, the “Service”). KAMLA is developed and maintained by ISTIACK AHAMED KHAN (“KAMLA,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By inviting, authorizing, configuring, or using KAMLA, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service and remove KAMLA from your Discord server. If you use KAMLA for a server, organization, or event, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms on its behalf.

2. What KAMLA does

KAMLA is a free Discord bot designed primarily for debate and tournament-style events. Depending on the version available, its features may include server setup, categories and channels, role management, room assignments, timers, all-in tracking, Points of Information, polls, notifications, and mini-games.

KAMLA provides tools for organizers and participants. It does not decide official tournament results, replace an organizer's judgment, guarantee that a debate or event is fair, or provide legal, professional, or moderation advice.

3. Discord permissions and your responsibility

Some features require broad Discord permissions so the bot can create or manage server structure and roles. Review the permissions Discord shows before authorizing KAMLA. Only invite the bot to a server if you are the owner or have the owner's authorization.

Server owners and administrators are responsible for selecting suitable permissions, reviewing the resulting server layout, checking role hierarchy and channel access, and informing members about applicable server rules. You are responsible for the actions of your administrators and members when they use KAMLA.

4. Setup, rebuilds, and server changes

KAMLA setup or rebuild commands may create, rename, update, or remove channels, categories, roles, and permission settings. The exact effects depend on the command and the deployed version. Read every confirmation prompt carefully; do not confirm unless you understand what will change.

Before running setup or rebuild, save or document any server structure and information you need to keep. You are responsible for backing up your server configuration. The website's feature descriptions should not be treated as a substitute for the confirmation shown in Discord.

If an operation appears to behave unexpectedly, stop using the command and contact the operator before trying again.

5. Acceptable use

You agree to use KAMLA lawfully and in accordance with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. You must not use the Service to harass, threaten, impersonate, spam, deceive, or unlawfully collect information about another person; bypass Discord permissions or security controls; interfere with the Service; or violate the rights of another person.

You are responsible for the content, roles, event details, polls, and assignments entered or published by you or your server members. Do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary, lawful, and appropriately disclosed.

6. Linked Roles

The KAMLA website currently includes an informational Linked Roles page. KAMLA's Discord OAuth2 role-verification flow is not currently enabled through that page. Do not treat the page as proof that KAMLA has verified a Discord account or role.

If Linked Roles verification is introduced, it will require a separate Discord authorization flow. Any role checks, data used, requested permissions, and metadata sent to Discord will be explained before the feature is made available. You may decline authorization; other KAMLA features may continue to work.

7. Discord and other services

KAMLA relies on Discord and may rely on website hosting or webhook services. Those providers operate independently and have their own terms, privacy practices, availability, and technical limits. KAMLA is not affiliated with or endorsed by Discord.

8. Fees and changes to the Service

KAMLA is currently offered free of charge. We will explain any new paid feature or fee before it applies. Features may be changed, paused, or discontinued. We do not promise that every feature will remain available indefinitely.

9. Ownership

KAMLA's name, branding, software, and website belong to or are licensed to the operator, except for third-party materials. You retain responsibility for content you or your server members provide. These Terms do not transfer ownership of that content to KAMLA.

10. Ending use

You can stop using KAMLA by removing it from your Discord server. The operator may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address abuse, protect users or the Service, or comply with law.

Removing KAMLA does not necessarily remove messages or its configuration channel already present in your server. A server administrator may need to delete that channel and its messages separately. See the Privacy Policy for information about storage and deletion requests.

11. Disclaimers and limits

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” to the extent permitted by law. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, permanent storage, or that KAMLA will meet every tournament's needs. Organizers should independently verify important event details, permissions, and results.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the operator is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, lost data, server changes, or interruptions resulting from use of the Service. Nothing in these Terms limits a right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as KAMLA changes or as required by law. The effective date above will be updated when a new version is published. Continued use after an update means acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
