Terms

1. This agreement

This is the agreement between you and Enderbeam. You accept it when you create an account or use the service, whichever happens first. If you do not accept it, do not create an account.

One account does two different things, and which clauses apply to you depends on what you do with it:

• Everyone with an account: clauses 1 to 3 and 10 to 14.
• Members — anyone who signs in to a community site to post, comment, chat or link a Minecraft account: clauses 4 and 5 as well.
• Server owners — anyone who creates a project: clauses 6 to 9 as well, and 7a if you have us host your map.

You do not have to choose at sign-up. A member who later creates a project is covered by the server owner clauses from that moment, without agreeing to anything new.

Two other documents form part of this one: the acceptable use policy, which says what may and may not be published, and the privacy notice, which says what data we handle and why. Read those too.

If you are agreeing on behalf of a company or a team, you are confirming you are allowed to.

On our side there is no company: Enderbeam is one person. Clause 14 says who and where.

2. Your account

Give us an accurate email address and keep it current — it is how we reach you about your account.

You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your password to yourself and tell us if you think somebody else has it.

One account works across every site we host. Signing in to a community does not create a separate account there, and leaving one does not affect the others.

You must be old enough to hold an account where you live. It is 13 in most of the world and in the UK; in the EEA it is whatever that country has set, which ranges from 13 to 16. If we cannot tell where you are, we apply 16, which is the strictest.

The form does not show you that number, and that is deliberate rather than an omission: it asks for your date of birth instead, because a form that tells you the answer before asking the question is not really asking. The date is checked in your browser and never sent to us — the privacy notice's section 6 has the detail. This clause used to say the form tells you what the age is, which described the opposite of what it does.

If you are under 18, an adult who is responsible for you has to agree to these terms as well, and where money is involved — a Premium plan — the account has to be held by an adult.

Playing on a server whose site we host needs no account and no age.

3. How you behave

The acceptable use policy applies to everything you write or upload anywhere on Enderbeam, on your own site or on somebody else's. It is short and it is worth reading.

Do not use the service to harass anybody, to publish what you do not have the right to publish, or to interfere with how it runs for other people.

4. Being a member of a community

Signing in to a site we host makes you a member of that server's community, not a customer of ours. The site belongs to the person who runs that server. They set its rules, they moderate it, and they decide who may be there.

That means they can remove your posts, restrict you, or ban you from their site, and it is their decision rather than ours. We are not the appeal route — take it up with them. We step in only where the acceptable use policy is being broken or the law requires us to.

A site is public. Anything you post on one — a thread, a comment, a message on somebody's wall, a poll vote, an image — can be read by anyone with the link, whether or not they have an account.

You can link a Minecraft account by running a command in game. That connects your play on that server to your profile on its site, and it is what puts the show-my-stats box on your profile. Unlink it whenever you like: doing so stops your stats being shown on every site, not only this one. Linking again does not put them back on its own — you would tick the box again.

Delete your own posts, or your account, whenever you like. Deleting your account removes it, your comments, your wall messages, your applications, build submissions and votes, and your place in every community here.

Forum threads and replies are the exception: they stay, with the byline changed to "Account Deleted". A thread is not only its author's — removing one takes every reply with it, and those belong to the people who wrote them. Nothing links the words back to you afterwards. Delete a post yourself before you delete your account if you would rather it went. Two smaller exceptions are in the privacy notice: a community keeps the fact and the date of any warning or ban it issued you, without your name or the reason, and a support ticket keeps a dated shell of itself after its messages are deleted.

5. What you post as a member

What you write stays yours. You give us the permission we need to store it and show it on the site you posted it to, and you give that site's owner the permission they need to keep it there, moderate it, and display it as part of their community. That permission ends when the content is deleted, apart from backups, which are kept for seven days and then go.

You are responsible for having the right to post what you post, including images.

If the site you posted on is deleted, what you wrote on it goes with it.

6. What we provide to server owners

A hosted website for your Minecraft server, a builder for it, a plugin that sends your server's data to it, and a subdomain to reach it on. Premium adds a custom domain, more storage, more collaborators and the removal of our badge.

We will keep it running as well as we reasonably can, and we will tell you about planned interruptions where we can. We do not promise it will never be unavailable.

We add and change features. We will not remove something you are paying for without telling you first.

7. Your site, your content, your community

Your content stays yours. That includes what you write, what you upload, your theme, and your server's data.

You give us the permission we need to run the service: to store your content, to serve it to visitors, to make copies for backups and caching, and to show it in the shapes the site needs. That permission exists so we can host your site, and it ends when you delete the content or your project — apart from backups, which are kept for seven days and then go.

You are responsible for having the right to publish what you publish. That includes images, fonts, logos, and anything your members post that you choose to leave up.

If you switch on the forum, comments, walls or chat, you are running a community and you are responsible for moderating it. We give you the tools; the judgement is yours. You must deal with content on your site that breaks the acceptable use policy when you become aware of it. If you do not, we may.

Two of the blocks you can place reach outside Enderbeam, and what that costs your visitors is yours to answer for rather than ours. A Video block loads a player from YouTube, Twitch or Vimeo. An Embed block loads whatever address you type into it. In both cases your visitors’ browsers talk to that service directly and it sees them — their address, their browser, and which page they were on. You chose it, so you are the one who decides whether it belongs in your own notice to them. Our shop does the same thing and that one is ours; section 9 of the privacy notice says so.

We may show your site as an example of what Enderbeam does. Tell us if you would rather we did not, and we will not.

7a. A hosted map

This is for server owners who run EnderMap, the live web map, and have us host it on their site. You switch it on in EnderMap with hosting.mode: enderbeam, and the Enderbeam plugin you already run for your site makes the connection to us with the key it already holds. If you run EnderMap on your own web server instead, none of this clause applies: nothing reaches us, and what the map shows and who sees it is yours alone.

The map is drawn with Minecraft’s own textures and models, which EnderMap reads from a copy of the game on your machine. We supply none of Mojang’s files, and we do not want to. By having us host your map you confirm that you own a Minecraft: Java Edition licence, that you have accepted the Minecraft EULA, and that the copy the plugin reads is yours.

If you draw your map with a resource pack, you confirm you have the right to use that pack on your server and to have it shown on your website to anybody who opens the map — which means us storing its pictures and sending them to visitors. Many packs’ licences forbid that, or allow it only with a credit; read the licence, and give any credit it asks for. The same goes for anything else your server puts on the map.

Tell your players the map exists: what it shows, and that nobody is on it who has not turned it on on the website, where the same switch takes them off again. The plugin can link your own privacy notice from the map, and you should give it one. Do not lean on players to go on the map — the rules in clause 8 about the leaderboards apply to it the same way.

A hosted map is free to view, and it stays that way. Premium pays for storage and capacity, never for somebody to look at a map, and you must not charge anybody to see yours. That is partly fairness and partly Mojang: their rules are kinder to pictures of the game that are free to watch.

We keep the map’s pictures of your world so it opens quickly and still opens while your server is off. They are a cache with an allowance of their own — 1 GiB on the free plan, 10 GiB on Premium — and they do not come out of your project’s storage. When the allowance is full, the pictures nobody has looked at for longest go, and your server is asked for them again when somebody does.

We may remove anything from a hosted map, or take the map down, if Mojang, Microsoft or the owner of a resource pack or anything else on it asks us to, or if we think we have to. Because the pictures are a cache, removing them costs you a redraw rather than your map. We will tell you when we do it, unless the law stops us.

The map shows this, and so do we: NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

8. Your players' data, and your responsibilities for it

Your server sends us four kinds of data about your players, and a fifth if we host your map. You need to understand the difference before you install either plugin.

What your server already shows to anyone who logs in: who is online. Yours to send or not, and a player cannot remove themselves from it — it is live state, replaced on every push, and taking it off the site would only last until the next one.

Your punishments: everyone currently banned, with their name, UUID, the reason, who issued it and when it expires. Sent for every banned player, and shown to nobody outside your own staff — it is not published on your site and has not been since the public page was removed. It is in the creator app for your collaborators, and the reason only for your admins. It is here because you should know it leaves your server at all, and because the reason field is somewhere your staff write about a person: write it as though the person will read it, because they can ask us for it.

Leaderboard and progression data — playtime, advancements, in-game balance, statistics, vote counts, levels in mcMMO, Jobs, AuraSkills and Quests, and being named as the leader of a town or faction. We publish none of it unless that player has signed in on your site, linked their Minecraft account and turned it on. Your server can send us ten thousand players; we store the ones who asked and discard the rest before a row exists. A player can leave again in game with /enderbeam hide, or by writing to us, and we act on it without consulting you.

Member-list detail — playtime, join date and mcMMO level beside a name in your site's list of members. Sent only for players who signed in on your site, linked their Minecraft account and ticked the box; you cannot tick it for them. There were player pages here until 8 September 2026, gathering everything about one player in one place. They were removed rather than gated further: a board row is a name and one number in a ranking somebody is competing in, and a page collecting all of it is a different object to be answerable for.

Where your players are on a hosted map — name, skin, position several times a second, which way they face, what they hold and wear, which world, and the animals around them. Shown only for players who signed in on your site, linked their Minecraft account and turned on the live map for your server, and only to visitors signed in with a linked Minecraft account whom your staff have not banned from your site. Your plugin sends only the players we list, and we check every player it sends again. Nothing of it is kept. You can show less — names, skins or gear off, rounded positions, a delay — in the plugin’s settings, and not more. The map’s sidebar also lists who is online, by name only, which is the same list your site already shows publicly; vanished players are left out of both.

You and Enderbeam are joint controllers of all five. We chose what the plugin can send, we built the pages it appears on, and we decided which of it needs a yes — those are a controller's decisions whatever the data is. In practice: we handle requests from players about what is published, and you handle what only you can — your bans, your ranks, your community. Data protection law applies to you as somebody running a community that includes people in the UK and the EU, and installing our plugin does not move that obligation onto us.

Your members can report posts on your site, and those reports go to you. Work through them: a reporting route nobody answers is worse than none, because the person who used it believes they have been heard. Members can also send a report to us, and some kinds come to us automatically — and a complaint about you or your project comes only to us and is never shown to you.

You must not lean on a player either way. Do not run /enderbeam hide as somebody who did not ask you to, do not offer rewards for joining a leaderboard or penalise anyone who stays off one, and do not discourage players from writing to us. Any of those is a breach of these terms and of the acceptable use policy. Rewarding people for opting in is the one worth spelling out: a permission bought with an in-game prize is not freely given, and it is not one we can rely on.

Your boards start empty and fill as players opt in. That is the intended state on a new site, not a fault, and it is worth telling your players — the site shows each of them where they would rank and how to appear, which is the fastest way to fill a board.

A great many Minecraft players are under 13. That is the reason for all of the above: everybody we publish holds an account here and has cleared the minimum age for where they live, so nobody is on your boards without somebody old enough having asked. If you still know or suspect a published player is too young, tell us and we will remove them.

One more thing about running a community, and it is not a data protection point. UK online safety law regulates services where people encounter each other's content — a forum, comments, a chat. On that law's own test the provider of your site is you rather than us: you decide whether your site has a community at all, who joins it, and who is removed from it, while we supply the software and the hosting. If your site has UK visitors, the duties that come with that are yours. We are not able to tell you what they require of you, and you should not treat this paragraph as advice — but you should not find out from somebody else that it applies.

What we can do is not leave you without the tools, and not leave you to work out what this means on your own. Reporting and complaints, per-site moderation, warnings, mutes, bans and the moderation log are all there, and there is a plain-English page about what running a community involves at enderbeam.com/running-a-community. If something you need is missing, tell us.

Separately from all of that, your members — the people who sign in on your site and post on it — are yours, and we handle their data on your instructions. The terms for that are the data processing agreement at enderbeam.com/dpa, which forms part of this agreement and applies automatically. If you are in the UK or the EEA you need it to exist, and it does.

9. Plans, payment and limits

The free plan is free and stays free. Premium is billed monthly through Stripe until you cancel. Plans are per project — paying for one does not upgrade the others.

Cancelling stops the next payment. Your project drops to the free plan at the end of the period you have already paid for — it stays online and keeps its content, but loses the Premium extras.

We do not refund part-months by default, except where section 9a gives you a right to one. If something went wrong on our side, write to us and we will sort it out.

If we change what Premium costs, we will tell you before it applies to you.

Each project has a storage allowance, shown in its settings, covering uploads, forum attachments, your synced players, punishments and player-count history. When it is full, nothing more uploads until you free space or upgrade. A hosted map has an allowance of its own, in clause 7a, and does not count towards this one.

The plugin's push intervals and limits are set to what the service is sized for. Do not modify them to send more often or more than the site displays, and do not use the service to store or serve things unrelated to your site — it is website hosting, not a file host or a CDN.

9a. Your right to cancel, if you are a consumer

This section is for consumers — somebody buying Premium for themselves rather than for a business. If you are buying for a business it does not apply to you, and the rest of section 9 is the whole story.

You have 14 days to cancel a Premium subscription and get your money back, for no reason at all. The 14 days start the day after you subscribe. This is a legal right rather than a courtesy, and nothing else in this agreement takes it away.

To cancel, just tell us before the 14 days are up. Email support@enderbeam.com and say you are cancelling. You can use the form at the end of this section, but you do not have to — any clear statement will do, and telling us in your own words is enough. What matters is that you send it before the deadline, not that it reaches us before the deadline.

We will refund you within 14 days of being told, to the card you paid with, and we will not charge you a fee for cancelling.

There is one thing to know about starting straight away. Premium switches on the moment you subscribe, which is what people want, but it means we have begun supplying the service inside the cancellation period. By subscribing you are asking us to do that. If you then cancel within the 14 days, you may be charged for the part you actually used — a fair proportion of the month, not the whole of it. If you would rather not be charged anything at all, say so when you subscribe and we will hold the upgrade until the 14 days are up.

If we have not given you this information, you do not owe us anything for what you used in the cancellation period, and your right to cancel lasts far longer than 14 days — up to 12 months and 14 days. That is the law rather than our generosity, and this section exists so that it does not arise.

The model cancellation form. You do not have to use it.

• To: Ryan Exner, trading as Enderbeam, 440 N Barranca Ave #1779, Covina, CA 91723, United States, or support@enderbeam.com.
• I hereby give notice that I cancel my contract for the supply of the following service: Enderbeam Premium.
• Ordered on: [the date you subscribed].
• Name of consumer: [your name].
• Address of consumer: [your address].
• Signature of consumer: [only if you send this on paper].
• Date: [today's date].

10. Suspension and ending it

You can delete your account whenever you like, whichever way you use it. Deleting a project deletes what we hold for it, including its players, punishments, history and a hosted map’s cached pictures, after a grace period of 14 days during which you can change your mind.

You can take your site’s data with you, before that or at any other time. Write to support@enderbeam.com and we will send you a machine-readable export of your members, everything they have posted, and your uploads. There is no button for it yet: it is a person putting it together, so allow us a few days rather than a few minutes, and say if you are working to a deadline. Deleting a project is not reversible after the grace period, so ask for the export first — the data processing agreement, section 7, is where this is promised in full.

An account that still owns a live project cannot be deleted while it does — we will not take a website and its community down as a side effect of somebody closing their account. Transfer it to a collaborator, or delete it yourself, and then the account can go. A project you have already asked us to delete is no obstacle: it is finished off with your account rather than waiting out the rest of its grace period, since that window only ever existed in case you changed your mind.

We may suspend or remove an account, or a site, that breaks the acceptable use policy, that is being used to harm somebody, or that we are legally required to act on. Where it is safe and lawful to tell you first, we will, and we will aim to be proportionate — a warning before a suspension, a suspension before a deletion.

We end the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. If we take material down because its owner told us it was theirs, and you do not answer that with a counter-notice, it is recorded against you; enough of them and the account goes, whether it is an owner's or a member's. Section 7 of the acceptable use policy says how that judgement is made, and enderbeam.com/report says how to send a notice or answer one.

Being banned from one community site by its owner is their decision. It does not affect your Enderbeam account or the other sites you are a member of.

We may close an account that has not been used for a very long time, after telling you at the address on file.

11. Our side

Enderbeam, its software, its designs and its name stay ours. Using the service does not give you rights over them beyond using it as intended.

The plugin is ours to license to you for running with the service. Do not redistribute a modified copy as though it were the real one.

Minecraft is Mojang's, and Enderbeam is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mojang or Microsoft. Running a server means following Mojang's rules for servers as well as ours.

NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.

12. Warranties and liability

We provide the service as it is. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose beyond what this agreement says.

We are not responsible for what other people post, for how a server owner runs their community, for what a server sends, or for anything you lose because a third-party service you connected stopped working.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Subject to that, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the twelve months before it arose, or $100 if you have never paid us anything.

Keep your own backups of anything you would be upset to lose.

13. Changes to this agreement

We may update this agreement. If a change matters to you — anything about payment, your rights, or what we may do with your content — we will tell you before it takes effect, and continuing to use the service after that is how you accept it. If you do not accept it, delete your account.

The date at the top says when it last changed.

14. Law

Enderbeam is run by one person, not a company: Ryan Exner, trading as Enderbeam, 440 N Barranca Ave #1779, Covina, CA 91723, United States. "We" and "us" in this agreement mean them, and that address and support@enderbeam.com are both good for anything you need to send us.

This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the state and federal courts located in California have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes about it.

Nothing in that removes a protection your local law gives you as a consumer. If you are in the UK or the EU you keep the rights and the courts your own law gives you, whatever this clause says.

If part of this agreement turns out to be unenforceable, the rest of it still stands.
