Terms & Conditions

This document sets out the rules, terms of use, and privacy practices for https://worldwide-dc.com/ ("Website"), including any related Discord server, bots, and services (collectively, the "Platform"). It is written to be broadly consistent with common online-platform disclosure requirements across multiple jurisdictions, given Worldwide's users and volunteer team are located worldwide.

The Platform is operated by Worldwide, an unincorporated, volunteer-run online community ("Platform Owner," "we," "us," "our"). Worldwide is not a registered company; it is a community project run collectively by its volunteer administrators.

Your use of the Platform and its services and tools is governed by these Terms of Use, together with any applicable policies incorporated by reference. If you make a purchase (e.g., virtual currency or shop items) on the Platform, you are also subject to the policies applicable to that purchase. By using the Platform, you are contracting with the Platform Owner, and these Terms constitute your binding obligations to the Platform Owner. Any additional or conflicting terms you propose are expressly rejected. These Terms may be updated at any time without prior notice; it is your responsibility to review them periodically.

For the purposes of these Terms, "you," "your," or "user" means any natural person who accesses or uses the Platform.

Accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Platform indicates your agreement to these Terms of Use. Please read them carefully before proceeding.

• You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete information during registration (including via Discord), and you are responsible for all activity conducted through your account.
• Neither we nor any third parties warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of information or materials on the Platform. We disclaim liability for inaccuracies or errors to the fullest extent permitted by law.
• Your use of the Platform is at your own risk. You are responsible for independently assessing whether the Services meet your needs.
• All content on the Platform (design, layout, graphics, bot functionality, branding) is proprietary to Worldwide or its contributors. You have no claim to any intellectual property rights in this content.
• Unauthorized use of the Platform may result in action against you, including removal from the Discord server and/or loss of Platform access.
• You agree to pay any charges associated with purchases you make on the Platform (e.g., virtual currency, shop items). Payments are processed via one of two independently operated channels: PayPal (for international payments) or UPI via Razorpay/PhonePe (for payments from India). You choose which channel to use at checkout. Each channel is operated by a different member of the Worldwide team on our behalf, and your transaction is subject to that payment provider's own terms in addition to these Terms.
• You agree not to use the Platform for any purpose that is unlawful or forbidden under these Terms or applicable Indian or local law.
• The Platform may link to third-party websites; your use of those sites is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for them.
• Purchases made on the Platform are legally binding transactions between you and the Platform Owner.
• You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Worldwide, its volunteer administrators, and contributors from claims arising out of your breach of these Terms or violation of law or third-party rights.
• Neither party is liable for failure to perform obligations due to a force majeure event.
• Worldwide is an independent community project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc. "Discord" is a trademark of Discord Inc.
• Minimum age: You must meet Discord's own minimum age requirement (currently 13, or higher where required by local law) to use the Platform.

Worldwide is operated by volunteers based in multiple countries, and does not have a single physical headquarters. Rather than naming one national court system, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting us (see below). If unresolved within 30 days, either party may refer the dispute to binding online arbitration, conducted in English, with each party bearing its own costs unless the arbitrator decides otherwise.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Worldwide's and its volunteer administrators' total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the Platform is limited to the amount you paid to us in the 3 months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

All concerns or communications relating to these Terms must be sent to the contact information provided below.

All concerns or communications relating to these Terms must be sent to the contact information provided below. You can reach us at [email protected].

This policy applies to virtual currency, virtual shop items, and other digital goods purchased through the Platform ("Virtual Items").

1. All sales of Virtual Items are final once delivered to your account, except as described below. Because Virtual Items are delivered instantly and cannot be "returned," standard physical-goods cancellation rules do not apply.
2. Technical/billing errors: If you were charged incorrectly (e.g., duplicate charge, failed delivery of a paid item, or a system error resulted in you not receiving what you paid for), contact us within 7 days of the transaction with your order/transaction ID. We will investigate and, if confirmed, issue a refund or re-deliver the item.
3. Unauthorized purchases: If you believe a purchase was made without your authorization (e.g., compromised Discord account), report it immediately. We may require you to secure your account (password reset, 2FA) before processing any refund.
4. No refunds for change of mind, in-game/community outcomes, or misuse of Virtual Items after delivery.
5. Chargebacks: Initiating a chargeback with your bank/payment provider instead of contacting us first may result in suspension of your Platform account pending resolution.
6. Refunds, once approved, will be processed within 7 business days, and will be issued back through the same payment channel you originally used (PayPal refunds to PayPal, UPI/Razorpay-PhonePe refunds to the original UPI account). Actual arrival time may vary based on that provider's own processing timelines, which are outside our control.
