Terms & Conditions

The terms under which this website may be used.

Last updated: 20 August 2026

1. Scope and Provider

These terms govern the use of this website operated by Martin Obrecht (the "provider"). The game itself, including user accounts, matches, and rankings, is governed by the separate Terms of Service available in the game app at https://play.anarchy-chess.net/play.

By using this website you accept these terms in the version valid at the time of use.

2. Non-Commercial Offer, No Entitlement to Availability

Anarchy Chess is a non-commercial community project. The website is provided free of charge in the form available at any given time. No contract for the supply of paid services comes into existence, and there is no entitlement to continuous availability, to a specific scope of content, or to the preservation of published information.

3. Permitted Use

When using this website, you are prohibited in particular from:

  • violating applicable law or third-party rights;
  • submitting offensive, discriminatory, youth-endangering, or otherwise unlawful content, for example through the bug report form;
  • disrupting the technical infrastructure, for example through automated mass requests, or accessing data without authorization.

4. Bug Reports and Other Submissions

You may submit bug reports and suggestions voluntarily. By submitting them you grant the provider the non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free right, unlimited in time and territory, to use the submission for the purpose of operating and improving the project. You warrant that your submission is free of third-party rights. There is no entitlement to processing, to a response, or to remuneration.

5. Rights to Content

All rights to this website, its design, software, and content remain with the provider or the respective rights holders. Any use beyond what is permitted by law, in particular reproduction, distribution, or public communication, requires prior consent.

6. External Links

This website contains links to external offerings whose content the provider has no influence over. The respective provider or operator of the linked pages is always responsible for their content. Links that are found to be unlawful will be removed without delay.

7. Liability

The provider is liable without limitation in cases of intent and gross negligence and in cases of injury to life, body, or health. In cases of simple negligence, the provider is liable only for the breach of a material contractual obligation (cardinal obligation) and only up to the foreseeable damage typical for such an offering. Liability is otherwise excluded. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular under the German Product Liability Act, remain unaffected.

8. Changes to these Terms

The provider may amend these terms with effect for the future where this is required for a valid reason, for example due to changes in the legal situation or the scope of the offering, and where users are not unreasonably disadvantaged as a result. The version published on this page applies.

9. Applicable Law and Final Provisions

The law of the Federal Republic of Germany applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which the user has their habitual residence remain unaffected.

If individual provisions of these terms are invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions remains unaffected.
