Terms of Use

Welcome to Hero of Azeroth.

Hero of Azeroth is an independent, free project for World of Warcraft players. It provides access to character statistics, collections, achievements and other in-game data, along with character comparisons, leaderboards and shareable character cards.

By accessing or using the Hero of Azeroth website or Discord bot, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please stop using the service.

Access and use of the website

Hero of Azeroth is free to use. You do not need to register, sign in or pay to browse character pages and use the website's main features. There are no paid features, subscriptions or products for sale.

You may search for characters, view their statistics and collections, share page links and create cards for personal use and sharing.

Some additional features, particularly those involving account-wide game data, require you to voluntarily connect your Battle.net account.

Information about ownership of game-related materials and the independent status of this project is provided in the Legal Information document. Details about how user data is handled can be found in the Privacy Policy.

Game data and accuracy

Hero of Azeroth retrieves game data from available sources, including the Blizzard API and SimpleArmory. Depending on the type of data, information may be collected when a character is first accessed, updated through background synchronization or refreshed at the user's request.

Character pages display the latest data successfully retrieved and stored by the service. This means the information may not reflect the character's exact state at the time you view the page. Updates may take time, and individual requests may fail or return incomplete information.

When a value is unavailable or has not yet been retrieved, the website may display a dash instead of a number. This means the value is unknown, not that it is zero.

We make reasonable efforts to display information accurately, but we do not guarantee that it will always be complete, correct or up to date. Game data and the results of processing it may change independently of this website.

Statistics provided by Hero of Azeroth are for informational purposes only. They do not guarantee an invitation to a group or guild, a raid spot, participation in a competition, a successful trade or any decision by another player. Hero of Azeroth is not involved in making such decisions and is not responsible for their outcomes.

Discord bot

The Hero of Azeroth Discord bot lets you request character cards directly in Discord. It uses data available through the website and may request a data refresh before generating a card.

The bot requests the Discord server permissions it needs to operate: View Channels, Send Messages, Embed Links and Attach Files. These permissions are used to process commands and deliver responses.

The bot is not designed to read or archive ordinary conversations between server members. It processes commands and interactions directed to it and does not use unrelated messages for its features.

When you use the "Save as mine" feature, the bot stores an association between the selected character and your user account so you can access that character more easily later. The `/forget` command removes this saved association.

Adding the bot to a server does not change the server's own rules or settings. Server administrators may restrict its access or remove it at any time. Discord's own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy govern the platform and its message storage.

Acceptable use

When using Hero of Azeroth, you agree not to:

• place excessive load on the website, its servers or the APIs it relies on;
• perform large-scale automated data collection, circumvent technical restrictions or attempt to bypass request limits;
• interfere with the website's operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to its systems or compromise their security;
• impersonate Hero of Azeroth, its developer or a representative of the project;
• present the website's materials, data or character cards as an independently operated service of your own, or resell them as part of a commercial product without the necessary permissions from the relevant rights holders and the project author.

You are welcome to share links to character pages and generated cards for personal use and within communities, provided that doing so does not infringe the rights of others.

Using Hero of Azeroth does not grant you any ownership or other rights to game content, images, names, trademarks or other intellectual property belonging to Blizzard or other rights holders. Further details are available in the Legal Information document.

If these Terms are violated, Hero of Azeroth may restrict or terminate access to the website or specific features.

Connecting a Battle.net account

Connecting a Battle.net account is optional and is not required to browse the website.

Authentication through Battle.net enables additional features, including access to and aggregation of information about characters and collections belonging to your game account.

To provide these features, Hero of Azeroth may store your account identifier, BattleTag and character roster information. The Privacy Policy explains which data is stored, how it is used and how you can manage it.

Hero of Azeroth does not ask for or store your Battle.net password. Authentication takes place through Blizzard's designated sign-in process.

You are responsible for activity carried out through your connected account and for keeping your account access secure. Do not share your authentication details or account credentials with others.

The availability of Battle.net-related features depends on Blizzard's services and API availability.

Service availability and changes

Hero of Azeroth is an independent project developed and maintained by its author in their spare time. The website is free, contains no advertising and does not offer paid subscriptions.

We do our best to keep the service running, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation or continuous maintenance of every feature. Individual features may become temporarily unavailable, change or be discontinued.

These Terms may be updated as the project evolves. The date of the latest revision is shown at the top of this document. By continuing to use the website or bot after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms.

Questions and feedback

For questions about Hero of Azeroth, the website or these Terms, please contact the project author through the contact channels provided on the website.

Hero of Azeroth is an independent community project. Questions about World of Warcraft, Battle.net or Discord services should be directed to their respective owners.
