Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Agely's age verification services, website, or Discord bot (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Agely, LLC ("Agely," "we," "us," or "our").

2. Service Description

Agely provides age verification tools for Discord server owners ("Server Owners" or "Customers") to help manage their communities. Our Service allows Discord users ("End Users") to verify their age through various methods including:

  • Facial age estimation via video selfie
  • Government-issued ID verification
  • Face matching for identity confirmation

Server Owners configure age requirements for their communities, and our Service provides verification results to help enforce those requirements.

3. Customer Relationship (Important)

Discord Server Owners are our customers, not individual End Users who complete verification. This distinction is important:

  • Server Owners: Purchase access to our Service, configure verification requirements, and receive verification results
  • End Users: Use our Service at the direction of Server Owners to verify their age for community access
  • Service Terms: Apply to both Server Owners (as customers) and End Users (as service users)

4. Eligibility

To use our Service, you must:

  • Be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age required to use Discord in your jurisdiction)
  • Have a valid Discord account in good standing
  • Comply with Discord's Terms of Service and Community Guidelines
  • Provide accurate and truthful information during verification

Server Owners must additionally have legal authority to enter into contracts and manage Discord communities.

5. Service Accuracy and Limitations (Critical)

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Agely is NOT a legal form of age verification

Our Service provides additional confidence to Server Owners about user ages, but it is not a substitute for legal age verification where required by law.

5.1 Verification Accuracy

Age verification accuracy varies based on the method(s) used:

  • Age Estimation Alone: May produce inaccurate results. Facial analysis algorithms estimate age based on appearance, which can be affected by lighting, image quality, ethnicity, and individual variation
  • ID Verification Alone: Can be circumvented through document fraud or using someone else's ID
  • Combined Methods (ID + Face Match + Age Estimation): Provides the highest confidence but is still not infallible

5.2 No Guarantees

We explicitly disclaim any guarantee regarding:

  • The accuracy of age verification results
  • The authenticity of submitted identification documents
  • The identity of the person completing verification
  • Compliance with age-restricted content laws or regulations

5.3 Server Owner Responsibility

Discord Server Owners remain solely responsible for:

  • Complying with applicable laws regarding age-restricted content
  • Making final decisions about member access to their communities
  • Understanding the limitations of automated age verification
  • Implementing additional safeguards as needed for their specific use case

6. Discord's Responsibility

Discord, Inc. is ultimately responsible for:

  • Ensuring all Discord users are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in their jurisdiction)
  • Managing access to age-restricted channels and content on their platform
  • Enforcing their Terms of Service and Community Guidelines

Agely's Service is a community management tool and does not replace Discord's age verification or content moderation responsibilities.

7. Premium Services and Billing

7.1 Service Tiers

Agely offers both free and premium features:

  • Free Features: Basic verification workflows and bot configuration

7.2 Trial Period

Each Discord server automatically receives a 30-use trial to test premium features:

Agely does not directly process payments, store payment information, or have access to Discord's payment system. All subscriptions and purchases are managed through Discord's platform.

7.4 Subscription Model

When you purchase a subscription through Discord:

  • Entitlement System: Discord grants your server an "entitlement" that signals to Agely that your server has access to premium features

    • Welcome messages will consume usage again (no longer unmetered)
  • Resubscription: You may resubscribe at any time through Discord to regain access to premium features

7.7 Refund Policy

Agely Cannot Process Refunds

Because all payments are processed by Discord, Agely does not have the ability to issue refunds or cancel subscriptions. All refund requests must be directed to Discord's support team.

What We Can Do: If you experience technical issues that result in lost usage (such as verification failures or service errors), we can re-issue the consumed usage as a courtesy. Contact our support team for assistance.
