Terms of Service

RustLite is an information and companion service for the game Rust. It shows player profiles and statistics, server and activity information, wiki and calculator tools, and Rust+ companion features including configurable Smart Alarm notifications. The Service is for entertainment and general information about a video game. It is provided as is, and features may change, be limited, or be withdrawn at any time.

Most player information on the Service is supplied to us by independent third-party data providers and is drawn from sources such as Steam, Rust server networks, and public ban databases. RustLite does not own that data, did not create it, and does not independently verify it. Each provider is responsible for the data it supplies. RustLite is responsible for how it is displayed, stored, cached, and used on the Service.

Anything the Service presents as a score, rating, ranking, estimate, prediction, or probability, including threat and risk indicators, is RustLite’s own opinion computed from those inputs. It is not a statement of fact about any person. A ban record means only that the named source reported a ban; it does not establish cheating or any other misconduct, and it does not show whether an appeal succeeded. Community votes are unverified user opinions, not RustLite findings. Information may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or matched to the wrong person.

RustLite is not a consumer reporting agency, and the Service is not a consumer report under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You may not use the Service, or any information from it, to decide or help decide anyone’s eligibility for employment, credit, insurance, housing or tenancy, education, government benefits, or any other purpose covered by the FCRA or a similar law.

We do not offer background screening, tenant screening, employment screening, or investigative services, and we do not permit the Service to be used for them. We will terminate any account we believe is using the Service for those purposes.

• You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age for consent to online services where you live if that is higher. If you are under 18 you may use the Service only with a parent or guardian’s permission, and they accept these Terms with you. You must be 18 or older to buy a paid plan.
• You sign in with Steam. You are responsible for everything done through your account and for keeping access to your Steam account secure.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of what you give us, including any email address or phone number you add.
• One account per person. Do not share, sell, or transfer your account.
• You may delete your account at any time from Account → Settings, or by emailing [email protected].

You agree not to:

• Use the Service, or anything obtained through it, to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, defame, dox, extort, impersonate, or target anyone, or to encourage others to do so.
• Use it to identify or locate a player away from the game, to work out or publish anyone’s real name, home, workplace, contact details, or real-world location, or to publish another team’s chat or movement history.
• Use it for any FCRA-covered purpose or any other decision about a person’s eligibility, as set out in section 2.
• Scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, or systematically copy the Service or any data on it, use automated tools against it, or circumvent rate limits, metering, credit allowances, paywalls, or authentication, except through an API and key we give you in writing.
• Resell, redistribute, sublicense, train a model on, or build a competing dataset or service from data obtained through the Service.
• Add a phone number, server, Discord or Telegram account, or any other destination you do not own or are not authorised to use.
• Interfere with, overload, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service or its infrastructure, or access another user’s paired server, team, or account data.
• Use the Service to break the rules or terms of Steam, Facepunch, BattleMetrics, Discord, Telegram, or any game server, or to cheat or gain an advantage those rules forbid.
• Use the Service for anything unlawful.

Your permission to access the Service ends automatically when you breach this section. We may investigate suspected breaches, preserve evidence, restrict or terminate access, disable pairings and relays, delete affected data, and notify providers or the authorities, without notice. Report misuse to [email protected].

When you pair a Rust server you appoint RustLite as your limited technical agent: you direct us to connect using the credentials you provide, to receive the team, chat, map, event, and device data available to your paired Rust+ player, to process and display it, and to send the messages or device commands you configure. This appointment does not authorise access to anything not intended for your paired player.

Pairing gives us data about your teammates, including their names, SteamIDs, in-game positions, and team chat. Before you pair, and for as long as it stays paired, you represent and warrant that: you control or are authorised to use the paired account and credentials; everyone whose team data we may receive has been told what RustLite collects, keeps, derives, and relays; you have obtained every consent the law of each participant’s location requires, including all-party consent where that applies; and every destination you configure is authorised to receive that content. If you cannot make those promises, do not pair the server, and unpair any server already connected.

Notes, votes, group names, filter names and descriptions, and anything else you submit remain yours. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, moderate, and display that content so we can run the Service, including showing votes in aggregate. Private notes stay visible only to you, apart from access we need for security, support, legal compliance, and enforcement.

You are solely responsible for what you submit, and you promise it is not false, defamatory, harassing, or unlawful, and does not infringe anyone’s rights. We do not endorse it and we do not have to monitor it, but we may remove any content or disable any account at our discretion.

To report content or ask us to remove or correct information about you, email [email protected]. The process is set out in our Privacy Policy.

RustLite respects intellectual property rights. Send notices of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent:

To be effective, your notice must include: a physical or electronic signature of the owner or someone authorised to act for them; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; identification of the material said to infringe and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the URL; your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the owner.

We may remove or disable access to the material and will notify the user who posted it. That user may send a counter-notice meeting 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). If we receive a valid counter-notice we may restore the material 10 to 14 business days later, unless the original complainant tells us they have filed an action seeking a court order. Misrepresenting that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can make you liable for damages under § 512(f).

Repeat infringers. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. We count valid, non-duplicative notices, disregard notices that are withdrawn or successfully countered, and may act sooner where the infringement is willful or severe. Do not open another account to evade a termination.

Rust, Rust+, Steam, BattleMetrics, Discord, Telegram, and other names and marks belong to their owners. RustLite is an independent, unofficial service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of them. Steam data is provided by or derived from Valve’s services and remains theirs; game names, icons, artwork, and descriptions remain Facepunch’s.

Your access to third-party data through the Service is limited to personal, non-commercial use inside the Service. You may not extract, bulk collect, republish, sell, sublicense, or build a competing database from it. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any feature that depends on an upstream platform immediately if a credential, permission, term, or service changes, or if that platform asks us to, without liability beyond any refund the law requires.

Delivery of notifications through Discord, Telegram, browser push, webhooks, Pushover, ntfy, SMS, or voice depends on third-party providers, carriers, and networks. Delivery is not guaranteed, not instant, and can fail entirely. Do not rely on RustLite alerts as your only means of monitoring anything, and do not rely on them for any purpose where failure could cause loss or harm. SMS and voice alerts are opt-in and governed by our Messaging Policy. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.

• Checkout is not currently open. Some features need a paid plan or metered credits. Paid plans are not always on sale, and free features may move behind a plan at any time. Prices shown while checkout is closed are planned, not an offer.
• Before you pay, checkout shows the plan, price, billing interval, taxes if any, and what is included. Those disclosures form part of these Terms.
• Payments are handled by Stripe. By subscribing you also accept Stripe’s terms. We never receive your full card details.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the price and interval shown at checkout until you cancel, and you authorise that recurring charge when you buy.
• You can cancel at any time from your account or the billing portal, or by emailing us if that is unavailable. Cancelling stops the next renewal; access continues to the end of the period you have paid for.
• Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires a refund or we decide otherwise. Contact us about a duplicate or mistaken charge rather than raising a dispute.
• We give at least 30 days’ notice before a price increase applies to your next renewal.

Deep-lookup credits.Credits are a feature allowance, not money, property, or stored value. They have no cash value, cannot be transferred or sold, refill on your plan’s monthly cycle, and do not roll over. A credit is spent only when a deep lookup returns data. A cached result can normally be reopened without spending another credit, but cached results may be refreshed or dropped by the per-account limit. Unused credits end with the plan or the account, and we may reverse credits and benefits linked to a reversed payment.

Features marked beta or experimental, including the browser extension, may be unstable, incomplete, or withdrawn without notice, and are provided with no warranty of any kind. The extension is licensed to you for personal use and may not be modified, repackaged, or redistributed.

The Service, its software, design, original text, and original tools are owned by RustLite and protected by law. We grant you a personal, revocable, non-transferable licence to use the Service under these Terms. Underlying facts, such as public identifiers, dates, and raw game counters, are not owned by us, and third-party data remains subject to its owners’ rights. Nothing else is granted.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time if we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms, if your use creates legal or security risk, if you use credentials you are not authorised to use, if payment fails, or if we stop offering the Service. Where we terminate for your breach, unused fees and credits are not refundable except where the law requires. Where we terminate a paid account for our own convenience before the end of a paid period, your remedy is a pro-rata refund for the unused part. You may stop using the Service at any time. Closing an account does not by itself delete data; that is governed by the Privacy Policy. Sections 2, 6, 8, and 12 through 18 survive termination.

THE SERVICE, ALL THIRD-PARTY DATA, ALL USER CONTENT, AND ALL RUSTLITE-GENERATED SCORES, RATIOS, HEATMAPS, ESTIMATES, AND PREDICTIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUSTLITE DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS, AVAILABILITY, AND SECURITY. RUSTLITE DOES NOT WARRANT THAT SUPPLIER DATA OR USER CONTENT IS CORRECT OR CURRENT, THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ALERT WILL BE SENT OR RECEIVED. DERIVED INDICATORS ARE ESTIMATES, NOT FINDINGS THAT ANY PLAYER CHEATED. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THESE EXCLUSIONS, SO PARTS OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, RUSTLITE LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR IN-GAME LOSS; OR FOR LOSSES ARISING FROM THIRD-PARTY DATA, USER CONTENT, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, OR A MISSED, DELAYED, OR UNDELIVERED ALERT, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH DAMAGES WERE POSSIBLE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

THESE LIMITS DO NOT APPLY TO RUSTLITE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, OR TO ANY LIABILITY THE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT US TO LIMIT. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS WAIVES A RIGHT OR REMEDY UNDER THE TEXAS DECEPTIVE TRADE PRACTICES–CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT OR ANY OTHER LAW THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless RustLite and its members, managers, employees, and contractors from third-party claims, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, and reasonable legal fees arising from your content; your use of the Service; your breach of these Terms or of any law; a server, account, phone number, or credential you connect without authority; or your use of information obtained through the Service. We will notify you promptly and may control the defence with counsel of our choice; you may not settle in a way that admits our fault or imposes an obligation on us without our written consent. This does not apply to the extent a claim results from our own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

Talk to us first. Before starting any formal proceeding, email [email protected] with your name, SteamID, the facts, and what you want. Both sides will try in good faith to resolve it within 45 days, and any limitation period is paused while that runs.

Binding arbitration. If that fails, you and RustLite agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be settled by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section. Arbitration takes place in Texas or, at your choice, by phone, video, or documents only, and RustLite pays the fees those rules require it to pay.

Who decides what. The arbitrator decides all questions about the meaning, scope, and enforceability of this section, except that a court decides whether an arbitration agreement was formed and whether the class waiver and the coordinated-filings paragraph are enforceable.

Class waiver and jury waiver. Claims may be brought only in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or member of any class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and RustLite each waive the right to a jury trial. This does not waive a right to public injunctive relief that the law makes non-waivable.

Coordinated filings.If 25 or more similar demands are filed against RustLite by or with coordinated counsel, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules apply and the demands will be administered in batches of up to 50 on a common procedural schedule, while each claimant keeps an individual decision and award. Limitation periods stay paused until a claimant’s demand can proceed.

Carve-outs. Either party may bring a claim in small claims court, and either party may ask a court for an injunction to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property or unauthorised access to the Service.

Opt out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing [email protected] with the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and your SteamID within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out changes nothing else in these Terms.

Governing law and venue. Texas law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any court proceeding these Terms permit must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction. Any claim must be brought within two years after it accrues, or within any longer period the law does not allow us to shorten.

We may change these Terms going forward. For a material change we will give at least 30 days’ notice by email, in the product, or both, and state when it takes effect. A change does not apply to conduct before its effective date or to a dispute we already knew about. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service and close your account before it takes effect. Minor clarifications and changes the law requires take effect on posting.

• These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Messaging Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Service.
• If any part is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to a successor in a merger, sale, or reorganisation.
• Neither party is liable for failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
• We may send notices to the email address on your account or by posting on the Service.
• The Service is operated from the United States. If you use it elsewhere, you are responsible for complying with your local law.
