Terms of use

Who may use the service

You must be at least 13 years old to use disc.id. If you are not old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, a parent or legal guardian must review these Terms and allow you to use the service.

The service is intended for a general audience. It is not directed to children under 13.

What the service does

disc.id lets a player create one public URL to write on every disc they carry. If another player finds a disc, they can use the URL to share a pickup note and photo with disc.id, which then notifies the player without exposing their contact information. A note-only fallback is available when the camera cannot be used.

The service is intentionally focused on this return process. It does not provide a public player profile, a catalog or separate registration for each disc, or a way to mark a disc as lost.

disc.id is not a disc tracking, physical storage, delivery, rescue, emergency, or identity verification service. We do not guarantee that a lost disc will be found, returned, left in a particular condition, or available when a player arrives.

The core service is free. If we offer optional paid features in the future, you will see the price and agree to the charge before paying.

Use the return process responsibly

The return process should remain simple: leave the disc in a safe and lawful place, take or choose a useful photo, add a clear pickup note, and submit them so disc.id can notify the player. If a photo cannot be added, use the note-only fallback and describe the spot precisely.

• Do not trespass, enter an unsafe area, move a disc somewhere unlawful, or create a hazard.
• Share a pickup note that is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
• If you provide a photo, show the disc and pickup area while avoiding faces, license plates, addresses, and other personal information when they are not needed.
• Do not damage, keep, sell, or misuse a disc that belongs to someone else.

Player responsibilities

Players may maintain one disc.id URL per email address. They must provide an email address they control, keep it current, and choose a name and URL they have the right to use. Do not impersonate another person or create a URL that is deceptive, abusive, unlawful, or infringes another person's rights.

Self-service URLs must contain 6 to 24 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens. Shorter URLs may be assigned by an administrator. Some URLs are unavailable because they are used by the service, held for future use, blocked for safety, or assigned to another player.

Players may change their URL through the private dashboard no more than once every 7 days. Before changing it, the player must say whether the current URL is written on any discs. If it is written on a disc or the player is unsure, the old URL stays active and forwards to the current URL. If the player says it was never written on a disc, it may be released immediately and assigned to someone else. A player may keep up to three previous URLs active through the dashboard.

We may review a URL after it becomes active and require a change if it is deceptive, abusive, unlawful, infringing, impersonates another person or organization, or conflicts with the service. A blocked URL cannot be reassigned. When an administrator requires a change, the player may choose a replacement immediately and the old URL may continue forwarding so marked discs can still reach them.

Writing a disc.id URL on a disc does not establish ownership. Players are responsible for following course rules, local laws, and manufacturer guidance when marking a disc.

Photos and pickup notes

You keep any rights you have in content you submit. You give us a limited, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, secure, and transmit that content only as needed to operate, maintain, and support the service.

You must have the right to submit the content. We may remove content that is unlawful, harmful, unrelated to a disc return, or inconsistent with these Terms.

Acceptable use

Do not use disc.id to harass, stalk, threaten, deceive, advertise to, or collect information about another person. Do not submit false return reports, malicious files, or automated requests. Do not interfere with the service, bypass security controls, probe for vulnerabilities, or use the service in violation of law.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. Do not place sensitive personal information in a pickup note or photo. The return page does not require the player returning a disc to provide a name, email address, or phone number. After sending the return, that player may optionally add an email address and first name for a private receipt and one pickup update.

Availability and delivery

We work to keep the service available, but it may be interrupted, delayed, changed, or discontinued. Poor signal, device settings, email filtering, inaccurate pickup details, and third-party services can affect delivery. A saved or sent status does not guarantee that a player has read the notice.

We may suspend or remove a URL when needed to protect players, prevent abuse, comply with law, or maintain the service. A player may pause, reactivate, or permanently delete their URL from the private dashboard.

Ownership

The disc.id name, branding, software, site design, and service materials belong to the service operator or its licensors. These Terms do not give you a right to copy, sell, reverse engineer, or create a competing service from protected parts of disc.id.

Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available without warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, or uninterrupted operation. Nothing in these Terms limits a warranty or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.

Limits of responsibility

To the extent permitted by law, disc.id is not responsible for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss or damage involving a disc, an unsafe pickup arrangement, inaccurate information, a missed notice, or the conduct of another person.

If we are liable for a claim that cannot be excluded, our total liability is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us during the 12 months before the claim. This limit does not apply where the law does not allow it.

Changes and disputes

We may update these Terms as the service changes. We will update the date below and provide reasonable notice of material changes. Continued use after the updated Terms take effect means you accept them.

If a dispute arises, contact us first so we can try to resolve it. These Terms do not require you to waive rights or remedies that cannot be waived under applicable law.
