Terms of service

By creating an account or using kova you agree to these terms. You must be at least 13, or your country's digital age of consent if that is higher. Kova is a free, non-commercial hobby project run by pyvno (see the imprint). We may pause or limit sign-ups at any time.

• You sign in with Discord and are responsible for everything done on your account.
• Your username must not impersonate a person, team or brand, and must follow the username rules (2 to 32 characters: lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores).
• A connected KovaaK's account comes through your Discord account, so it can only be yours. Presenting someone else's scores, ranks or Steam account as your own breaks these terms.

• Post anything illegal, threatening or harassing, or impersonate anyone.
• Upload images, music or other media you have no right to use.
• Fake ranks, scores or results, write reviews of gear you haven't used or were paid for without saying so, or coordinate votes and ratings.
• File false reports, applications, invites or entries, enter with several accounts, or rig a draw you host.
• Post deceptive marketplace listings or misrepresent your coaching record.
• Try to get into other accounts or our systems, scrape or bulk-collect data, or spam.

What you post stays yours. You give kova a free, non-exclusive licence to store and show it as part of the platform, for as long as it is on kova. We may remove content or limit accounts that break these terms or the law. When we do, we tell you what we removed and why. Email us to have it looked at again, or use the appeal page for a suspension or ban.

Kova hosts what users upload and does not check it before it goes live. To report content that is illegal or infringes your rights, email [email protected] with the link, what is wrong with it and how to reach you, or use the report button. You don't need an account. We review every notice promptly and tell both sides what we decided. Accounts that keep uploading infringing content are closed. This email is also our point of contact for authorities and users under the Digital Services Act, in English or German.

Owners and managers are responsible for their aimgroup, its roster, forms and the applications they receive. Kova does not settle disputes inside a team. An owner who connects a Discord server is responsible for the bot's permissions there and for who controls the roles it mirrors. Members of a connected server agree to the bot reading its member list and roles and posting the kova content the owner turns on.

Tournaments, giveaways, the marketplace and coaching are run by users. Kova provides the tools but is never a party: we don't take payments, hold money or items, fund or ship prizes, verify sellers, coaches or hosts, referee results or guarantee anything is delivered. Prizes, entry fees, sales and sessions are settled directly between the people involved, at their own risk, and they are responsible for the tax, consumer, prize and gambling laws that apply to them. We may remove listings or accounts, but we don't mediate, refund or reverse anything. Pay with buyer protection and be careful with deals that look too good.

You can delete your account at any time from your dashboard. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms. Your data is then deleted as described in the privacy policy.

Kova is free and provided as it is. We don't promise it is always available, and we may change or shut down features or the whole platform. Features that rely on outside services (Discord, KovaaK's, EVXL, Twitch and others) can stop working when those services change.

kova isn't endorsed by Riot Games and doesn't reflect the views or opinions of Riot Games or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot Games properties. Riot Games and all associated properties are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. Other game names, logos and rank icons belong to their owners.

We are fully liable for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and where the law makes liability mandatory. For slight negligence we are liable only for breaching an essential obligation, limited to the damage typical and foreseeable for a free service. Beyond that, we are not liable.

German law applies, without overriding consumer protections of the country you live in. We may update these terms; for a material change we tell you on kova or in our Discord before it applies, and you can delete your account if you don't agree. Questions: [email protected].
