Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of PVPWire (the “Service”), a competitive-gaming data platform operated by Pizza Robot Studios LLC (“PVPWire,” “we,” “us”). By accessing the website, the API, or any premium endpoint, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization or as an automated agent, you represent that you are authorized to accept these Terms.

1. The Service

PVPWire publishes independently compiled competitive-gaming data: game-mechanics facts, browsable tables, a free JSON API, and a paid premium tier of derived intelligence. Free endpoints require no account and no authentication. Premium endpoints require payment as described below.

2. License to use the data

Free API data is offered for use with attribution to pvpwire.com. Premium responses are licensed to you for inference use only. You may not use premium responses, in whole or in part, to train, fine-tune, evaluate, benchmark, or distill machine-learning models, and you may not resell, redistribute, or proxy the premium API in a way that materially reproduces its surface for third parties. You may not resell or share premium bearer tokens.

3. Payments and credits

Premium access is settled in USD Coin (USDC) on Base mainnet. Pricing is published at /api/payment/info and in the x402 manifest, currently $0.02 per call (1 credit), 50 credits per US dollar. Credits do not expire. All credit purchases are final and non-refundable. We recommend buying a small amount first, calibrating, and topping up as needed. You are responsible for verifying the pay-to wallet address across our published locations before sending funds; on-chain transfers are irreversible.

We do not charge for our own failures. A server error, a tripped circuit breaker, a schema-validation failure, or data served past its stated freshness promise is provided at no charge, and the no-charge record is published at /api/payment/no-charge-stats.

4. Acceptable use

Do not abuse, overload, or attempt to circumvent the rate limits or access controls of the Service. Do not use the Service for any unlawful purpose. Automated clients must respect the documented rate limits and the machine-readable policies at /llms.txt. We may suspend or revoke access, including invalidating a token, for conduct that threatens the integrity or availability of the Service.

5. Sanctions and eligibility

Premium access is unavailable to persons or entities subject to OFAC, EU, UK, or UN sanctions, and to residents of comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. Inbound credit-purchase transactions are screened against the Chainalysis public sanctions API. A transaction from a screened or sanctioned address will be rejected and no credits will be granted.

6. No affiliation; trademarks

PVPWire is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any game publisher or developer. Game names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only. Data is independently compiled from multiple sources and cross-verified; it is provided as reference, not as an official source.

7. Disclaimers

The Service and all data are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Game data is best-effort and may contain errors or become outdated as games patch. You use the data at your own risk.

8. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Pizza Robot Studios LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or revenues, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the amount you paid us for premium access in the three months preceding the claim.

9. Changes

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance.

10. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute is Los Angeles County, California.
