Terms of Service

Last Updated: April 8, 2026

Welcome to topserver.gg. These Terms of Service govern your use of the topserver.gg website and services. Please read them carefully before using the site.

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using topserver.gg, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

Listings and Data Sources

topserver.gg is a public directory of game servers. Most listings are built from data we collect ourselves, either from public game APIs (such as Steam master server lists) or by directly querying publicly advertised game servers for the metadata they broadcast, including server name, description, address, player count, map, and tags. This is the factual data that powers the directory, and it is not warranted to be complete, current, or accurate.

Claimed and Submitted Listings

When you sign in and either submit a brand new listing through the /add flow or claim an existing scraped listing, you become responsible for the custom content you attach to that listing (descriptions, banners, logos, tags, and similar fields).

You warrant that you have the right to publish any content you submit, and that it does not infringe on the rights of others.

You grant topserver.gg a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, cache, and translate your submitted content as part of the directory.

You agree to follow the acceptable-use rules in the section below, and you understand that your custom content may be removed if it violates them.

Important: claiming a listing lets you customize how it is presented and lets you delete your custom content, but the underlying factual server metadata is re-indexed every time we re-scrape from public sources. The only reliable way to remove a server entirely from the directory is to set it to private in its game platform so it stops being publicly advertised.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to use topserver.gg in any of the following ways:

  • Damaging, disrupting, or impairing topserver.gg systems or infrastructure
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to any part of the service
  • Using automated systems in ways that violate published rate limits or scraping policies
  • Submitting fake, duplicate, or spam listings
  • Manipulating votes through bots, vote-trading, fake accounts, or any other means
  • Misrepresenting a server's state, ownership, or affiliation, or impersonating another operator
  • Posting content that is illegal, infringing, hateful, or otherwise harmful in listing descriptions or other user-submitted fields

Voting and Public Identity

When you vote for a server, your public platform identifiers (such as your Steam ID or Discord ID) are associated with that vote and shared with the recipient server for verification and reward delivery. Because those identifiers are already public on the platforms they come from, your voting activity is treated as public information.

Intellectual Property

topserver.gg owns the site's design, branding, logo, code, original copy, and the aggregated presentation of the directory, including the selection, arrangement, and ranking of listings, which is protected as a compilation.

Game names, logos, screenshots, and related marks remain the property of their respective publishers as identified in the site footer, and are used here for identification purposes only under nominative fair use.

Factual server metadata that we collect from public game APIs and direct server queries is not claimed as topserver.gg's property. It is presented as part of the directory, but the underlying facts remain in the public domain.

Content you submit through the /add or claim flow remains your property. By submitting it, you grant topserver.gg the license described in the Claimed and Submitted Listings section above.

Disclaimer

topserver.gg is provided 'as is' and 'as available' without warranties of any kind. Because most listing data is collected from public sources, we cannot guarantee that it is complete, current, or accurate. Use it at your own risk.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, topserver.gg shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the service.

Account Termination

topserver.gg may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. You may also delete your own account at any time from your account settings.

Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher, to create an account or submit content on topserver.gg.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States of America, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of topserver.gg shall be brought in the courts of that jurisdiction.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The 'Last Updated' date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change. Your continued use of topserver.gg after the updated date constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
