Terms of Service

About DLDE

DLDE (Daily Deadlock) is a free, fan-made daily puzzle game based on Valve's Deadlock. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Valve Corporation. All game assets and character data belong to their respective owners.

Use of Service

By using DLDE, you agree to:

• Use the site for personal, non-commercial purposes
• Not attempt to exploit, abuse, or disrupt the service
• Not use automated tools to interact with the site excessively

Leaderboard & Scores

Scores and leaderboard rankings are provided for fun and may be reset or adjusted at any time. We reserve the right to remove entries that appear to be the result of exploitation or abuse.

Nicknames & Avatars

If you set a nickname or avatar, you are responsible for that profile content. Do not use content that is offensive, abusive, unlawful, or intended to impersonate others. We may edit, reset, or remove profile fields and take moderation action to protect the service.

Nickname is not an account identifier. For security, player data deletion is handled only by Player ID and not by nickname.

Account linking (Steam) is optional. Linking enables authenticated controls such as secure player data deletion and cross-device access to the same profile.

User Submissions

Feedback messages and other submissions must not include unlawful, abusive, harassing, spam, or intellectual-property-infringing content. We may remove content or restrict access when needed to enforce these terms.

Availability

DLDE is provided "as is" with no guarantees of uptime or availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the service at any time without notice.

Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or block access to DLDE for abuse, cheating, automated misuse, or repeated violations of these terms.

Limitation of Liability

DLDE is a free fan project. We are not liable for any damages arising from use of the service.

Changes

These terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any changes.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by applicable laws in the operator's jurisdiction.
