Effective: 01/04/2024

Last updated: 03/08/2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Alchemist! We're excited to have you here. Before using our services, please take the time to carefully read, understand, and accept these Terms of Service and the corresponding Privacy Policy.

This is a legal agreement between the developer .ddominik (ID: 302885091519234050) ("we", "our", "Alchemist") and you ("your"). By using this Discord bot, its website, dashboard, and other related products (collectively referred to as "Alchemist", "Bot" or "Service"), you are agreeing to these Terms of Service.

For paid services, your contractual partner is Dominik Scheidel, c/o Postflex #5812, Emsdettener Str. 10, 48268 Greven, Germany. Full details are available in our Legal Notice.

In cases of doubt, the owner of the server on which Alchemist is used is held liable and is referred to as "you" in these Terms.

To fully understand and agree to these Terms, you must first read, understand, and accept Discord's Terms of Service.

2. About this Service

Alchemist is a bot for the chat and social platform "Discord" (accessible at discord.com), provided by Discord Inc. This service allows you to make use of Discord's public API.

Alchemist strictly follows Discord's "Developer terms" and does not knowingly abuse any of Discord's services. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS SERVICE OR ITS PROVIDED FEATURES OTHER THAN INTENDED.

3. License

You may use Alchemist and its services for any purpose, including commercial use, if not stated otherwise in these Terms. You may not reverse-engineer or otherwise attempt to derive source code from Alchemist.

4. Restrictions on Your Use

  • • Send advertisements of any kind using Alchemist's message system
  • • Make the server from which a direct message was sent unrecognizable
  • • Repeatedly send messages in a short time span, especially via direct message
  • • Use Alchemist on servers that violate Discord's Community Guidelines
  • • Modify Alchemist's messages to make the original purpose unrecognizable
  • • Directly access any of Alchemist's backend
  • • Use automated scripts or bots to interact with Alchemist without permission
  • • Exploit bugs or vulnerabilities in the bot
  • • Harass, bully, or intimidate other users through the bot's functionalities
  • • Share sensitive or personal information of others without consent
  • • Impersonate other users, the bot, or its creators
  • • Use the bot for any illegal activities
  • • Access Alchemist's services using automated technology (known as "scraping")

5. Outages, Termination and General Service

Alchemist is free to use and will remain free. Every feature of the Bot is available to everyone at no cost. We additionally offer an optional paid subscription ("Premium"), described in Section 6, which adds extras on top of the free experience. Premium never removes, restricts, or places behind a paywall anything that is otherwise available for free. We are actively developing new features and fixing bugs to improve Alchemist and your user experience. Therefore we may add or remove features.

While we try to avoid disruptions, we cannot guarantee that there will not be an outage or change to the service and your server's settings may not be retrievable due to such outages or changes. We are not liable for any such outages or service changes.

You are free to stop using Alchemist's services at any time by removing Alchemist from your Discord server. Doing so will permanently delete your data from Alchemist's servers but may not delete any log or backup data. Records we are legally required to retain — in particular invoices and payment records, which German law requires us to keep for up to ten years — are excluded from this deletion.

6. Premium Subscriptions and Purchases

Premium is an optional subscription costing €4.99 per month. It is purely additive: it grants cosmetic and convenience extras such as bonus in-bot currency, a badge, bonus experience and shorter cooldowns on a small number of commands. Buying Premium is never required to use Alchemist, and choosing not to buy it does not limit any feature.

The price shown at checkout is the total price payable and includes any applicable value added tax.

Premium can be purchased in two ways: through Discord's own in-app purchase system, or through our dashboard using our payment provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. We never receive or store your full payment card details.

Automatic renewal. A Premium subscription renews automatically each month and is charged to your chosen payment method until you cancel it. There is no minimum term.

Cancellation. You may cancel at any time. Your Premium benefits remain active until the end of the billing period you have already paid for, after which they end and no further charges are made. We do not provide partial refunds for unused portions of a billing period. Subscriptions purchased through Discord must be cancelled in Discord's subscription settings; subscriptions purchased through our dashboard can be cancelled there.

Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, we may retry it. If payment ultimately cannot be collected, your Premium benefits end.

Changes to price or benefits. Premium benefits may change as Alchemist develops. We will inform you at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect, and you may cancel before the new price applies.

7. Right of Withdrawal (Widerrufsrecht)

If you are a consumer, you generally have the right to withdraw from a distance contract within 14 days without giving reasons.

Premium is a digital service that we begin providing immediately. When you purchase Premium, you expressly request that we begin performance before the withdrawal period expires and confirm that you are aware you lose your right of withdrawal once we have fully performed the service. If you withdraw before then, you owe us reasonable compensation for the portion of the subscription period already provided.

To exercise a right of withdrawal where it does apply, send a clear statement to [email protected]. Sending the notice before the deadline expires is sufficient to meet it.

8. Virtual Currency and Virtual Items

Alchemist includes virtual currency ("coins") and virtual items such as perks and badges. These exist only within Alchemist and have no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for money, transferred outside the Service, or sold, and they are not refundable.

You receive a licence to use virtual items within Alchemist; you do not acquire ownership of them. We may adjust, reset or remove balances and items where necessary to correct errors, or to address abuse or exploitation of the Service.

Coins and permanent items you have already received remain in your account if your Premium subscription ends, but benefits that depend on an active subscription — such as reduced cooldowns, bonus experience and the Premium role — stop when the subscription ends.

9. Third Party Services

Alchemist allows you to connect accounts of third parties to your server to extend its functionality. It's your choice whether to use these products and you should review any terms and policies provided by the third party before doing so.

9.1. Social Media Notifications

By using Alchemist's social media notifications service, you agree that Alchemist reads information from your connected social media accounts (YouTube, Twitch) and may publish them without further notification. You are using this feature at your own risk and we are not liable for any use as you are responsible for what Alchemist will post through Discord.

10. Uploading Images

You are able to upload images from your device when using various Alchemist commands and features. You agree to only upload images you own or otherwise have sufficient intellectual property rights to use.
