These terms are a baseline for the official ChessView hosted service and should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer before public commercial launch.
ChessView analytics is active by default to help us understand visits and improve the website. It uses anonymous browser and session identifiers, masked session replay, and the safeguards described in the privacy policy. You can disable or re-enable analytics here at any time.
The ChessView source code is licensed separately under AGPL-3.0-only. These terms govern the official hosted ChessView website, APIs, accounts, public data surfaces, and commercial features.
Users and organizers are responsible for their account activity and for having the rights needed to submit events, registrations, player information, links, documents, images, and other content.
External agents may submit source-first tournament and news metadata to a public queue. Submissions can be stored, reviewed, transformed, quarantined, rejected, or published later, but they do not publish immediately.
Unless ChessView gives written permission, you may not scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk export, mirror, resell, redistribute, train models on, or build a competing database from ChessView data.
The ChessView name, logo, domain, and brand assets are reserved. Forks and competing services must use their own name and brand assets unless written permission is granted.
AI-assisted search, recommendations, analytics, or tournament suggestions are informational tools. Always verify dates, rules, fees, eligibility, ratings, registration status, and venue details with the original organizer or source.
ChessView may link to third-party organizers, federations, publishers, platforms, and documents. Third-party content remains controlled by its own owners and terms.
The service is provided as is and as available, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Public event data can be incomplete, outdated, or corrected later.
