Terms of Service

Last Updated: March 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the PeerDen client software, website, and coordination services (collectively, the "Service") operated by the PeerDen Project ("us", "we", or "our").

By holding an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the terms, you may not access the Service.

1. Description of Service

PeerDen provides a virtual local area network (VLAN) tunneling utility to allow users to play LAN-enabled video games over the internet. The Service includes software installed on your machine and central coordination servers used to facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) connections.

2. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You are strictly prohibited from using PeerDen to:

• Conduct cyberattacks, including Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
• Distribute malware, viruses, or any other destructive software.
• Evade bans in video games or third-party platforms.
• Share, distribute, or access copyrighted material unlawfully (piracy). PeerDen is a networking tool; users are solely responsible for the legality of the software and games they run over the network.
• Harass, abuse, or threaten other users.

We reserve the right to ban your account, block your IP address, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties, or for any other reason.

3. No Warranty

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

We make no warranty that:

• The Service will meet your requirements or expectations.
• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.
• Any bugs or errors within the software will be corrected.

4. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE PEERDEN PROJECT, ITS CONTRIBUTORS, OR MAINTAINERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM:

• Your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service.
• Any conduct or content of any third party on the Service (including malicious traffic sent to you by other peers).
• Any unauthorized access, use, or alteration of your transmissions or content.

Because PeerDen facilitates direct P2P connections, you accept the inherent risks of sharing your IP address with other users in a given room/lobby. We are not responsible for how other users interact with your network.

5. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Service and for any activities or actions under your password. You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account.

6. Intellectual Property

The PeerDen client software is open-source (or provided for free as specified in the applicable repository license). The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Service are the property of the PeerDen Project.

7. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion. By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.
