Terms of Use
In short: the software is free and MIT licensed, it runs on your own machine, it collects nothing, and it comes with no warranty. Use it on servers you are allowed to administer, and follow Discord's rules while you do.
1. What these terms cover
These terms apply to the Easy Server Cloner software (“the software”) and to this website. The software is distributed as open source under the MIT licence; where these terms and the licence text differ, the licence governs the software itself.
There is no service being offered here, no account to create and nothing to pay for. You download source code and run it yourself.
2. Self-hosted by design
The software runs entirely on infrastructure you provide, under a Discord bot token you create and hold. The authors operate no servers on your behalf, have no access to your bot, your token, your servers or your backups, and receive no data from your installation.
Everything the software produces — backup files, checkpoints, logs — stays on your own storage.
3. Acceptable use
The software requires Administrator permissions on both the source and the target server. Use it only where you legitimately hold those permissions. Specifically, you agree not to use it to:
- copy a server you do not own or administer, without the owner's permission;
- impersonate another community, brand or person by reproducing their server;
- evade a ban, suspension or other enforcement action by any platform;
- harass, deceive or defraud anyone;
- violate Discord's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines or Developer Terms;
- break any law that applies to you.
You are responsible for how you use the software and for the state of any server you point it at.
4. Destructive operations
Cloning into an existing server permanently deletes its channels and roles. The software asks for explicit confirmation and shows you the numbers first, but the deletion itself cannot be undone from within Discord.
Take a backup with /backup before running anything destructive, and read
the /preview output. Data lost by confirming a clone is not recoverable
by the authors.
5. Message reconstruction
The optional message feature reposts content through a Discord webhook using the original author's display name and avatar. The result is a reconstruction: the messages are new, posted by a webhook, and are not the original authors' posts.
If you use this feature, do so in a way that does not mislead anyone about who wrote what, and respect the wishes of the people whose messages you are reproducing. Applicable data-protection law may apply to you when copying user content.
6. Privacy
This website is static. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and
contains no trackers. Web fonts are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your
browser contacts fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com
and those requests carry your IP address, as with any external resource.
The software communicates only with Discord's API. It sends no telemetry, contacts no analytics endpoint and phones no home. Any data it writes — backups, checkpoints, logs — is written locally.
Where a backup file contains personal data (for example, custom emoji names or channel topics referring to individuals), you are the controller of that data and responsible for handling it lawfully.
7. No warranty
The software is provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
It is not guaranteed to be error-free, complete or uninterrupted. Discord's API can change without notice, and features that work today may stop working tomorrow.
8. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the authors and contributors are not liable for any claim, damages or other liability arising from the software or its use — including deleted channels, lost roles, corrupted backups, interrupted service or action taken against your Discord account.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as liability for intent or gross negligence, or for injury to life, body or health.
9. Third-party services
Discord is a separate service with its own terms. This project is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Discord Inc. “Discord” is a trademark of Discord Inc., used here only to describe what the software interacts with.
10. Licence and contributions
The software is licensed under the MIT licence. You may use, copy, modify and redistribute it, including commercially, provided the copyright notice and licence text remain intact.
Contributions are welcome through the project repository. By opening a pull request you agree that your contribution is licensed under the same terms.
11. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the project evolves. The date at the top reflects the current version, and the full history is visible in the repository. Continuing to use the software after a change means you accept the updated terms.
12. Contact
Questions, bug reports and security concerns belong in the issue tracker. For anything sensitive, open a private security advisory on the repository rather than a public issue.
