Terms of Service

Effective · version 1.0

These are the terms for using XWar.lol. They are short because the service is simple: you pay, a number on a public board changes, and everyone can see it. By using the site or completing a payment you agree to these Terms, the Rules and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not pay.

1. Who we are

XWar.lol is operated by [Operator name], an individual based in Pakistan ("we", "us"). Legal notices go to privacy@xwar.lol. Public contact is @XWarlol on X. These Terms, the Rules and the Privacy Policy together are the whole agreement. If the Rules and these Terms ever conflict, these Terms win.

2. What XWar is

XWar is a paid public leaderboard of X handles. Anyone can pay to add power to a handle or damage to a handle. A handle's health is power minus damage, and every board ranks by health. The exact mechanics, minimums and windows are in the Rules and are shown to you before you pay.

Positions on the board are paid placements. They are not reviews, awards, certifications or independent rankings, and they say nothing about the quality, popularity or conduct of the person or brand behind a handle.

3. What a payment buys

A completed payment buys exactly the number of points shown at checkout, applied to the handle and action you chose, at the moment payment is confirmed. It buys nothing else. In particular it does not buy:

• a fixed rank, or any rank for any length of time;
• protection from being outranked or attacked;
• visitors, clicks, followers, customers or revenue;
• control over a handle you do not own, beyond the "commander" link described in the Rules;
• any right to have other people's payments reversed.

We may change the ranking formula, minimums, categories, discounts, boards and features at any time. Payments already made keep the points they bought.

4. No refunds

All payments are final. Points are applied to the board the instant your payment is confirmed, so the service is fully delivered before you leave checkout. By paying, you ask us to deliver immediately and you acknowledge that any statutory cooling-off or withdrawal right is lost to the extent the law allows. Where a consumer right cannot be waived, we honour it.

Being outranked, attacked, knocked out, delisted for breaking these Terms, receiving fewer visitors than you hoped, downtime, or a change to the Rules does not create a refund. A chargeback or payment dispute without a legal basis is a breach of these Terms: we may reverse the points, delist the handles involved and refuse future payments from you.

5. Who can use XWar

• You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding contract.
• If you pay on behalf of a company, you confirm you are authorised to do so, and "you" includes that company.
• You may not use XWar if sanctions or laws that apply to you or to us prohibit it.

6. Listing handles, including handles you do not own

You may enter any public X handle, including one that is not yours. When you do, you confirm that:

• the handle is public, belongs to an adult, and is not suspended or fake;
• you are not using the board to harass, defame, impersonate or threaten anyone, on XWar or anywhere else;
• the handle you enter as your own really is yours, or you leave it blank;
• you are not listing a private individual, a minor, or an adult-content account.

The owner of a listed handle can have it removed at any time (see section 9). Money paid on a removed handle is not refunded to anyone, and the handle cannot be re-listed.

7. Attacks

Paying to attack a handle lowers a number on a game board. It is public and signed with the handle you give. It is not, and must not be used as, a tool for harassment. If we find an attack is part of a campaign of abuse against a person, on or off the site, we may remove the damage, delist the attacker's handles, and refuse further payments, all without refund. Attacks are never anonymous: leaving "your X handle" blank shows you as @anon on the board, but we still hold the payment record.

8. What you may not do

• List or pay on handles that are private individuals, minors, adult-content accounts, or accounts that exist to impersonate, deceive, defraud or spread hate.
• Use XWar to harass, dox, threaten or defame anyone.
• Manipulate the board: fake clicks, bots, automated payments without our written permission, bypassing rate limits, or exploiting a bug instead of reporting it.
• Scrape the board to build a competing product, or copy the site.
• Use our name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you.

9. Removal, moderation and our discretion

We may hide, recategorise, edit, freeze or permanently remove any handle, payment, attack or activity, with or without notice, if we believe these Terms, the Rules or the law have been broken, if a platform or rights holder complains, or if we think it creates legal, safety or reputational risk. Removal does not entitle anyone to a refund.

Owner removal: the owner of a listed handle can ask for delisting by messaging @XWarlol from that account or emailing us with proof of ownership. We act within 24 hours. Payer anonymisation: anyone who paid can ask for their handle to be replaced with @anon in the public record.

10. Public profile pictures and names

To make cards recognisable we display public profile pictures and handles fetched from X. We use them only to identify which handle a board entry refers to, we do not claim any connection with the account holder, and we do not suggest their endorsement. This is intended as nominative use. If you own a handle and object, ask for removal under section 9. X and the X logo belong to X Corp; we are not affiliated with X Corp.

XWar.lol, its name, logo and design are ours. Board data (handles, amounts, health, history) is public information which anyone may view and share; you may not scrape it in bulk to compete with us.

11. Licence you give us

By paying, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to display the handle you entered as yours, the target handle, the amount and the action on the board, in the activity feed, in automated posts from @XWarlol and in our archive, for as long as we run the service. This is what "public leaderboard" means. You can ask to be anonymised under section 9.

12. Complaints and rights notices

If you believe a listing infringes your rights or is unlawful, email us with your name and contact details, the handle on XWar, what is wrong, and a statement that your notice is accurate and you are entitled to make it. We may restrict the listing while we review, and we may share the notice with the person who paid. Abusive or repeated bad-faith notices may be ignored.

13. No endorsement, no promises

Rank on XWar means money was paid. It is not our opinion of anyone, and we do not verify claims about the people or brands behind handles. Visitor counts, "online" numbers and activity feeds describe what our systems recorded; they are not promises about what you will get. Links go to x.com, which has its own terms.

14. Availability

XWar is provided as-is. It may be slow, down, or wrong. Payment, hosting, avatar lookup and analytics depend on third parties whose outages we do not control. We can pause, change or shut down the service at any time. If we shut down, the board simply ends; no refunds are owed for points previously bought.

15. Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all warranties and are not liable for lost profits, lost followers, lost reputation, lost data or any indirect or consequential loss. Our total liability to you for anything connected with XWar is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the claim. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or injury caused by negligence.

16. Your responsibility

You will cover us for claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your use of XWar, the handles you list, the attacks you make, your payments or chargebacks, or your breach of these Terms or someone else's rights.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Pakistan. If you are a consumer with mandatory protections under your local law, those still apply to you. Disputes go to the courts where we are based, unless a mandatory law says otherwise.

18. General

• If part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
• Not enforcing a term once does not mean we waive it.
• You cannot transfer these Terms; we can, if the service changes hands, and this agreement travels with it.
• We may update these Terms. The date at the top changes, and material changes are announced from @XWarlol. The Terms in force at the time of a payment govern that payment.

Privacy Policy

Last updated · version 1.0

XWar.lol is a public leaderboard. Almost everything on it is meant to be seen. This page explains, in plain language, the small amount of data we collect from you, why, and how to get it removed. If something here is unclear, email us and we will answer.

Who is responsible

The site is operated by [Operator name], an individual based in Pakistan. For anything about your data, email privacy@xwar.lol or message @XWarlol on X. We reply within 7 days.

What we collect, and why

We keep the service deliberately small. There is no account system, so we hold very little about you. Everything we do collect falls into one of these buckets.

• A visitor ID. A random string in a cookie named xwar_vid, kept for up to one year. It links a checkout to your browser, stops one person counting as fifty clicks, and lets us block abuse. It is not your name and we never combine it with one.
• What you submit at checkout. The X handle you are powering up or attacking, the category, the amount, and the handle you enter as "your X handle". That last one is optional; leave it blank and you appear as @anon.
• Payment confirmation. Our payment processor sends us an order ID, the amount, and whether it succeeded. That is all. Card numbers, billing names and addresses stay with the processor under its own privacy policy.
• Public profile pictures. When a handle is listed, we fetch its public avatar so the card is recognisable. We do not fetch bios, followers, posts or private data, and we do not log into X to do it.
• Clicks and requests. When you open a listing or load a page, our host and our analytics tool see standard request data: page, referrer, browser type and an IP address. We hash IP addresses for rate limiting and do not build profiles from them.
• Messages you send us. Removal requests, corrections and questions are kept as long as needed to deal with them and to keep a record that we did.

We do not collect your name, your email (unless you write to us), your location beyond what an IP address implies, or anything from your device beyond a light/dark theme preference stored in your own browser.

What is public, on purpose

XWar is a game played in the open. The following are visible to anyone, including search engines, and are shared in our automated posts from @XWarlol:

• Every handle on the board, its category, power, damage, health and rank.
• Every power-up and attack: the amount, the target, when it happened, and the handle given as the person who paid.
• The commander of each handle (whoever has paid the most into it).

If you do not want your handle shown next to a payment, leave the "your X handle" field blank. Listing someone else's handle is allowed by the rules, so a handle can appear on the board without its owner's involvement. Owners can have it removed; see below.

Our legal basis

• Contract. To take your payment and apply the move you paid for.
• Legitimate interests. To keep the board fair (rate limits, bot filtering), show public listing data, count visits, fix outages and defend legal claims. You can object to this processing by emailing us.
• Legal obligation. To keep accounting and tax records where the law requires it.

We do not currently ask for consent for anything, because we do not do anything that needs it: no marketing emails, no optional cookies, no profiling.

Who we share data with

• Payment processor (Stripe, Lemon Squeezy or Dodo Payments, as shown at checkout) to take payment.
• Hosting and database (Vercel, Supabase, Cloudflare) so the site runs and stays up under load.
• Analytics (a cookieless provider such as Plausible or Datafast) for aggregate visit counts. The live "visitors" number on the site comes from here.
• Avatar lookup (unavatar.io) to fetch public profile pictures by handle. It receives the handle, not anything about you.
• Authorities or advisers if the law requires it, to enforce our rules, or if the site is sold, in which case this policy travels with it.

Some of these providers are outside your country. Where a data protection law applies, we rely on the safeguards those providers offer, such as standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep it

• Visitor cookie: up to one year, or until you clear cookies.
• Board history (moves, amounts, handles): for as long as the site exists. The all-time board is, by definition, the full history. Delisted handles are removed from public view but the payment record stays for accounting.
• Payment confirmations: as long as tax, accounting and dispute rules require, typically 7 years.
• Request logs and IP hashes: up to 30 days.
• Correspondence: as long as needed to resolve it, plus a record that it was resolved.

Removal and your rights

If your handle is on the board and you want it off: message @XWarlol from that account, or email us with proof it is yours. It is delisted within 24 hours, its card stops being served, and it cannot be re-listed. Money others paid on it is not refunded to them.

If you paid and want your handle removed from the activity feed: email us with the order ID and we will replace your handle with @anon in the public record.

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the UK GDPR), you also have the right to ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Email us and we will act within 30 days. We may ask for enough detail to find your data, since we do not hold accounts.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS only. Payment data never touches our servers. Board data is stored in a managed database with access limited to the operator. No system is perfect; if we ever discover a breach affecting your data we will say so on this page and, where the law requires, contact you.

Children

XWar is for adults. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18, and handles belonging to minors are not allowed on the board. If you believe a child's handle or data is on the site, contact us and we will remove it.

Changes

If we change this policy, the date and version at the top change with it, and material changes are announced from @XWarlol. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
