1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing and using the Ludus website (rankdiagnostic.pro) and its services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any part of these terms, you may not use our site or services. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Your continued use of the site following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

2. About Ludus

Ludus is an informational gaming hub and community platform based in Manchester, England. We provide game curation, strategy resources, competitive play information, lore content, and community discussion spaces for semi-serious gamers aged 20–40 who value quality over quantity and community over hype. We do not operate gambling services, betting platforms, or real-money gaming. Our focus is on fair play, transparent moderation, and skill-based community engagement.

3. Permitted Use

You agree to use Ludus only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe upon the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of the site. Prohibited behaviour includes:

• Harassing, threatening, defaming, or abusing other community members
• Posting content that is illegal, obscene, or violates intellectual property rights
• Attempting to gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems
• Distributing malware, spam, or unsolicited commercial content
• Impersonating another person or entity
• Circumventing or disabling security features or access controls
• Scraping, crawling, or automated data collection without permission
• Posting false information or deliberately misleading content about games, players, or community standards

We prioritise fair play and community safety. Our moderation team reviews reports within 24 hours and reserves the right to remove content, suspend accounts, or ban users who violate these terms or our community standards.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on Ludus—including text, graphics, logos, images, game analysis, strategy guides, and community resources—is the property of Ludus or its content contributors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or transmit any content without prior written permission from Ludus or the original copyright holder.

Game titles, artwork, and intellectual property referenced on Ludus belong to their respective publishers and developers. Ludus provides informational and analytical content about these games in accordance with fair use principles and does not claim ownership of third-party gaming intellectual property.

If you contribute content to Ludus (comments, forum posts, strategy submissions), you grant Ludus a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual licence to use, display, and distribute that content within the Ludus platform and related services. You retain ownership of your contributions but consent to their use by the community.

5. User-Generated Content

Ludus may provide spaces for community discussion, strategy sharing, and user-generated content. You are solely responsible for any content you post. By submitting content, you warrant that it is original, does not infringe third-party rights, and complies with these terms and applicable law.

We do not pre-screen all user content but reserve the right to remove, edit, or refuse any content that violates these terms or our community standards. We are not liable for any user-generated content, including its accuracy, completeness, or legality.

6. Disclaimers

Ludus is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the site's operation or the information, content, or materials included on the site. To the fullest extent permissible by law, Ludus disclaims all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or harmful components. We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content, game information, strategy advice, or community recommendations provided on Ludus.

Game performance, matchmaking outcomes, and competitive results depend on factors beyond Ludus's control, including player skill, internet connection, game server stability, and third-party platforms. Ludus provides information and community tools but does not guarantee specific gaming outcomes or results.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Ludus shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or use, arising from or related to your use of the site or services, even if Ludus has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of Ludus shall not exceed the amount you have paid to Ludus in the 12 months preceding the claim, or £100, whichever is greater. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so this limitation may not apply to you in full.

We are not responsible for third-party websites, services, or content linked from Ludus. Your use of third-party platforms, games, or services is governed by their own terms and policies.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Ludus, its owners, operators, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms of Service are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, United Kingdom, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to these terms or your use of Ludus shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

10. Changes to These Terms

Ludus reserves the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the site following the posting of revised terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. We encourage you to review these terms periodically to stay informed of any updates.

11. Severability

If any provision of these Terms of Service is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if such modification is not possible, the provision shall be severed. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

12. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and any other policies posted on Ludus, constitute the entire agreement between you and Ludus regarding your use of the site and services. These terms supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and negotiations, whether written or oral.
