Terms
Who owns what here, and what this site is allowed to do with it. Written plainly by the person who runs the site rather than by a lawyer, and meant to be replaced.
This is a temporary notice
These terms are a placeholder. They say what is actually true of the site today, in ordinary words, so that nobody has to guess. They are not drafted legal terms and they define none of the words a proper set would define.
They will be amended with proper legal definitions: the parties, the licence granted, the governing law and the place a dispute is settled. Until that version exists, nothing here is meant to take away a right you have under the law where you live.
Who runs this site
One person, not a company. The contact page is how to reach them, and it is where a rights complaint, a takedown request or a question about anything below should go.
The branding and the look are reserved
The OSRSClans name, the wordmark and the square mark, the colour palettes and themes, the textures, the generated clan banners, the share card design, the written copy, the source code, and the way the directory is selected and arranged: all rights reserved.
Reading the site, linking to it and quoting a sentence of it are fine. Copying the look, reusing the artwork or presenting any of it as your own is not.
What you upload stays yours
A clan name and motto, the panels on a clan page and everything in them, tags, requirements, updates, forum threads and posts, poll options, uploaded logos, banners, panel artwork and post images, and the screenshot sent with an application: yours. Nothing here transfers ownership of any of it.
Nobody may take what you uploaded and use it elsewhere without your say-so. Other people reading it on this site is what putting it here is for; anything beyond that is between them and you.
What showing it here needs
Uploading something gives this site permission to store it, copy it, re-encode it, cut it to the sizes a page draws, frame it into a share card, serve it through the content network in front of the site, and show it wherever the site shows it. There is no fee either way.
That permission covers running and describing this site and nothing else. It is not sold, and it is not handed to anyone beyond the hosting and delivery this site is built on.
When you take something down
Deleting something ends that permission. What survives is only what is already elsewhere: backups until they roll off, caches until they expire, and the thirty-day window an armed erasure runs for.
Two things outlive an erased account on purpose, and both are said again here: a forum post keeps its words without your name on it, and a clan update stays with the clan under the clan's own byline.
What you are saying when you upload
That it is yours to upload, or that you have permission from whoever it belongs to, and that showing it here breaks nobody else's rights. If that turns out to be wrong, it is on you, and the file comes off the site.
What can be taken down, and by whom
A post or a thread can be removed, a board closed, a clan delisted and an account shut out of writing. None of that changes who owns anything.
A removal carries its reason, an account under a site sanction can appeal it once, and a clan or a board scheduled for erasure has thirty days before it is permanent.
Old School RuneScape is not ours either
This is an unofficial directory with no affiliation to Jagex. Old School RuneScape, RuneScape and Jagex are their trade marks, and the game's names, icons and artwork belong to them.
Item icons are rendered from the game's own cache by the Iron Foundry API. NPC and splash artwork comes from the Old School RuneScape Wiki and is used under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Neither is this site's to license on to anybody.
No promises about the site itself
The site is in alpha and is offered as it is. It may change, break, lose an upload or go away, and there is no warranty and no guarantee of uptime behind it. Keep your own copy of any artwork you care about.
