By creating an account, signing in, using the BEERLEAGUE website, joining matchmaking, using BEERCOMMS or any BEERLEAGUE communication feature, joining BEERLEAGUE servers, participating in tournaments, or otherwise using BEERLEAGUE services, you agree to these Terms of Service and to the BEERLEAGUE Acceptable Use Policy.

2. About BEERLEAGUE

BEERLEAGUE is a community gaming platform for Counter-Strike: Source and related community activity, including matchmaking, server play, player profiles, stats, tournaments, team and lobby coordination, direct messages, group chats, and other community features.

BEERLEAGUE is intended to be a fun, fair, and chill community. We are not here to over-police normal banter, but we have little to no tolerance for behavior that harms players, disrupts matches, or puts the community at risk.

3. Eligibility and Legal Age

You are responsible for making sure your use of BEERLEAGUE is lawful where you live.

BEERLEAGUE does not endorse, promote, or condone the consumption of alcohol or other regulated substances by anyone who is not of legal age. Any references to beer, league, or similar community branding are part of the community identity and do not give anyone permission to break local laws.

4. Account Responsibility

You are responsible for your account, login credentials, Steam-linked identity, and activity that occurs under your account.

You agree not to:

  • Share your account with others.
  • Impersonate another person, player, admin, or community representative.
  • Use fake, misleading, or abusive account details.
  • Attempt to bypass bans, restrictions, cooldowns, penalties, or moderation actions.
  • Interfere with account security, authentication, Steam linking, or identity systems.

BEERLEAGUE may suspend, restrict, or remove accounts when needed to protect the community, servers, platform, or other users.

5. Matchmaking, Lobbies, and Competitive Play

When using BEERLEAGUE matchmaking, lobbies, tournaments, scrims, or competitive features, you agree to play in good faith.

You agree not to:

  • Join lobbies or matches with no intent to play.
  • Intentionally abandon, sabotage, grief, stall, or disrupt a match.
  • Abuse ready-up, team selection, lobby, invite, queue, or launch systems.
  • Harass players over match results, skill level, team assignment, voice communication, or stats.
  • Manipulate matchmaking, BEERLO, stats, match results, or tournament outcomes.
  • Exploit bugs or loopholes in the matchmaking platform.

BEERLEAGUE may apply match penalties, BEERLO penalties, cooldowns, restrictions, or bans for abuse of matchmaking or competitive systems.

6. Content You Submit

You are responsible for content you submit or share through BEERLEAGUE, including usernames, profile content, avatars, messages, sprays, uploads, posts, tournament names, team names, and chat content.

You agree that your content must not violate these Terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, another person’s rights, any applicable law, or community safety standards.

By submitting content, you give BEERLEAGUE permission to display, store, transmit, moderate, remove, and use that content as needed to operate the website, matchmaking, servers, stats, communication tools, and community features.

7. Moderation and Enforcement

BEERLEAGUE admins and moderators may take action when they believe it is necessary to protect the community, platform, servers, players, or fair play.

Actions may include:

  • Warning.
  • Message deletion.
  • Chat restriction.
  • Lobby or matchmaking restriction.
  • BEERLO or match penalties.
  • Kick or temporary removal.
  • Temporary ban.
  • Permanent ban.
  • Account suspension or deletion.
  • Reporting serious illegal activity to proper authorities.

Moderation decisions are made at BEERLEAGUE’s discretion. Attempts to evade moderation may result in stronger penalties.

8. Service Availability and Changes

BEERLEAGUE is provided as a community service. Features may change, break, go offline, be updated, or be removed at any time.

We may update matchmaking, stats, BEERCOMMS, tournaments, servers, policies, or rules as the community grows. Continued use of BEERLEAGUE after changes means you accept the updated terms.

9. No Guarantee of Data, Stats, or Rankings

BEERLEAGUE may track stats, BEERLO, match history, abandon penalties, player records, tournament data, and server activity. While we try to keep these systems accurate, we do not guarantee that stats, rankings, records, or match data will always be complete, correct, or available.

BEERLEAGUE may correct, remove, reset, or adjust data where needed due to bugs, abuse, cheating, technical issues, or moderation decisions.

10. Privacy and Safety

Do not post private personal information about yourself or others in public areas, chats, lobbies, server chat, or group messages.

BEERLEAGUE may collect and store information needed to operate the platform, such as account details, Steam identifiers, match participation, chat messages, moderation records, server activity, technical logs, and security data.

This information may be used for platform operation, matchmaking, stats, communication features, safety, moderation, abuse prevention, troubleshooting, and legal compliance.

11. Termination

BEERLEAGUE may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the website, matchmaking, servers, chat, stats, tournaments, or any related service at any time if you violate these Terms, violate the Acceptable Use Policy, or create risk for the community.

You may stop using BEERLEAGUE at any time.

12. Final Notes

These Terms of Service are meant to define the basic agreement for using BEERLEAGUE. Community conduct rules are maintained separately in the BEERLEAGUE Acceptable Use Policy, but both documents apply when you use BEERLEAGUE.
