TERMS OF SERVICE (PUBLIC OFFER)

Effective Date: July 1, 2026
Governing Law: Russian Federation

This document is an official proposal (public offer) of the Administration of the "BESTGAMES.TO" service (hereinafter — the "Contractor", the "Platform") to conclude an agreement on the terms set out below with any individual or legal entity (hereinafter — the "User").

1. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS

• 1.1. Site (Platform) — an automated information system available on the Internet at the primary address https://bestgames.to, as well as on all of its subdomains of any level (including, but not limited to: wow.bestgames.to, l2.bestgames.to, forum.bestgames.to, cp.bestgames.to, etc.). All terms of this Agreement apply to any pages hosted within the *.bestgames.to domain zone.
• 1.2. User — a legally capable individual who has acceded to this Agreement in their own interest, or is acting on behalf of and in the interests of the legal entity they represent.
• 1.3. Listing (Project) — an information card for a game server, posted by the User in the Site's catalog, containing a description, links, graphic materials, and the server's status.
• 1.4. Paid Services — the Contractor's fee-based services, including the sale of vote packages, VIP statuses, auto-vote subscriptions, and advertising placement.
• 1.5. Acceptance — full and unconditional acceptance of the terms of this Agreement by performing the following actions: registering on the Site, authorizing via social networks, posting a Listing, or paying for Services.
• 1.6. Age Restriction — the Site is intended for persons who have reached the age of 18. By registering and using the Site, the User confirms that they have reached the age of 18. The processing of personal data of minors is carried out with due regard to the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

2. SUBJECT OF THE AGREEMENT AND STATUS OF THE CONTRACTOR

2.1. The Contractor grants the User the right to use the functionality of the Site and its subdomains to search for information (for players) and to place advertising information (for server owners).

2.2. Status of Information Intermediary. The catalog is composed of two types of materials: (a) materials posted and edited by Server Owners themselves (user-generated content); (b) publicly available reference information about servers, aggregated by the Contractor from open sources (ratings, monitoring services, official project pages) and presented in a systematized form for informational purposes. With respect to such content, the Contractor acts as an information intermediary within the meaning of Article 1253.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and also processes rights holders' complaints in a manner analogous to the DMCA procedure for international requests. The Contractor:

• Is not the initiator of the creation of user-generated content;
• When aggregating publicly available information, brings it into a unified format using automation and AI tools, without altering the substance of the original information, without creating new protectable works, and without verifying the accuracy of such information;
• Does not know and is not obligated to know of any possible infringement of the exclusive rights of third parties until a substantiated claim is received;
• Upon receipt of a substantiated claim from a rights holder, promptly (within up to 72 hours) removes or blocks the disputed material.

2.2.1. A Server Owner may claim ownership of their project's listing that was previously added from open sources and bring it under their own management. From that moment, the Owner bears responsibility for its content on the same basis as content posted independently (Section 3, para. 5.3).

2.3. The Contractor is not an organizer of games, does not own the game servers presented in the catalog, and bears no responsibility for their functionality, legality, or the financial relations between players and server administrators.

3. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

3.1. The User (Server Owner) is obliged to:

• 3.1.1. Guarantee that the materials they post (text, graphics, files) do not infringe copyright, trademark rights, or other rights of third parties.
• 3.1.2. Independently bear responsibility for the content of their Listing before third parties and the government authorities of any jurisdiction.
• 3.1.3. When posting links for file downloads, guarantee that they do not contain any malicious software (viruses, trojans).

3.2. The Contractor has the right to:

• 3.2.1. Remove or block a Listing on any subdomain of the Site if it violates this Agreement or if a substantiated complaint is received from a rights holder (DMCA Takedown). No refund is issued when a block results from the User's violation or from a substantiated rights holder complaint. If a Listing is removed on the Contractor's initiative in the absence of any violation by the User, payment for the unrendered (unconsumed) portion of the service is subject to refund.
• 3.2.2. Place third-party advertising materials on the User's Listing pages.
• 3.2.3. Make changes to the Site's functionality, subdomain structure, and rating algorithms without the User's consent.

4. DESCRIPTION OF PAID SERVICES AND THE PROCEDURE FOR THEIR PROVISION

4.1. List of Paid Services.

The Contractor provides Users with the following types of fee-based services:

• 4.1.1. Vote Packages (VIP Vote / Vote Packages). A service for a one-time increase in the rating indicator ("Votes") of a specific game server (Listing). The number of votes added depends on the selected tariff.
• 4.1.2. Auto-Vote Subscription. A service valid for a limited period (30 calendar days by default). It includes the daily automatic accrual of votes to the specified game server and the visual highlighting of the User's nickname in the reviews section.
• 4.1.3. Advertising Placement. A service for placing graphic banners or text blocks on the Site's main page or its subdomains. Current tariffs, placement locations, and technical requirements are indicated in the Personal Account or on the page: https://bestgames.to/advertisement.
• 4.1.4. Promo Points (Points). An internal accounting unit of the Site, purchased by the User and used as one of the factors of the Ranking Algorithm. Promo Points are not money, an electronic means of payment, or a monetary surrogate; they have no independent value outside the Site and are not subject to exchange, withdrawal, or refund in monetary form after activation. The purchase of Promo Points is not a purchase of a specific position in the rating and does not guarantee that it will be achieved: the final position is determined by a combination of factors (online player count, player activity, votes, server uptime, and others) and depends on the performance of other servers in the catalog. The influence of Promo Points is limited and cannot bring a server with low organic performance to the top positions. Promo Points are non-transferable to other Users and are used exclusively to obtain services from the Platform itself, and do not constitute payment for services of other Users. The Ranking Algorithm and the weighting of its factors are an internal mechanism of the Platform, constitute a trade secret, and may be changed without notice; a change to the algorithm is not grounds for a refund for previously purchased Promo Points.

4.2. Activation procedure and display timelines (SLA).

• 4.2.1. Technical statistics delay. The User is notified of, and agrees to, the fact that the Site uses data caching technology. Votes (under clauses 4.1.1 and 4.1.2) are accrued in the database instantly upon payment; however, the visual update of counters on the Site's pages occurs once per hour. A statistics-display delay of up to 60 minutes is not a technical error or a defect in the service.
• 4.2.2. Subscription Activation. The "Auto-Vote" service is activated at the moment of successful payment and remains in continuous effect for the duration of the paid period. If the target game server for which voting is performed ceases operation or is removed from the Site, the service continues to be provided with respect to the visual highlighting of the nickname.

4.3. Specifics of Advertising Placement (Moderation).

• 4.3.1. Pre-moderation. Payment for an advertising banner placement service does not guarantee its automatic publication. All advertising materials undergo mandatory moderation by the Site Administration.
• 4.3.2. Service commencement date. The advertising placement term (display timer) begins to run not from the moment of payment, but from the moment the banner is actually activated by the moderator. Time spent on moderation is not deducted from the paid period.
• 4.3.3. Refusal to place. The Contractor reserves the right to refuse to place advertising material if it violates aesthetic standards, applicable law, or misleads users. In such a case, the funds are returned to the User's balance.

4.4. Refund Policy.

• 4.4.1. General conditions. Refunds are made in the event of a technical failure (double charge, actual non-provision of the service for more than 24 hours through the fault of the Site). The rights of a consumer-User provided for by the Law of the Russian Federation "On Protection of Consumer Rights" (including the right to withdraw from a service under Art. 32) are not limited by this section.
• 4.4.2. Advertising. If the advertising material has passed moderation and has been published, no refund is issued for "unused days" or on the grounds of "low advertising performance" (fewer clicks than expected).
• 4.4.3. Votes, Subscriptions, and Promo Points. The service is deemed rendered (consumed) at the moment votes/points are accrued, and therefore no refund is made for the portion already consumed. For the unrendered (unconsumed) portion of the service, a consumer-User is entitled to a refund in accordance with Art. 32 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Protection of Consumer Rights", net of expenses actually incurred by the Contractor.
• 4.4.4. Procedure. To initiate a refund, the User must send a substantiated request to Support (support@bestgames.to) indicating the transaction ID within 14 days of the date of payment.

4.5. Prohibition of Chargebacks.

The Contractor recommends that the User first contact Support to resolve disputed payments. If the User initiates a chargeback dispute procedure, the Contractor has the right to suspend the provision of services and conduct an investigation of the disputed transaction, having notified the User accordingly. This clause does not limit the User's right to use the protective mechanisms provided for by law and the rules of payment systems.

4.6. Withdrawal from a service and specifics of digital services (Art. 32 of the Law of the Russian Federation "On Protection of Consumer Rights").

A consumer has the right to withdraw from a service agreement at any time, provided that the Contractor is paid for expenses actually incurred by it in connection with the performance of its obligations under the agreement. By purchasing digital content or services whose performance begins immediately upon payment, the User consents to such immediate commencement of the service and confirms that no refund will be issued for the portion of the service already rendered (consumed).

5. LIABILITY AND WARRANTIES (DISCLAIMER)

5.1. The Site and all of its subdomains are provided on an "AS IS" basis. The Contractor does not guarantee that the Site will meet the User's expectations or operate without interruption or error. The Contractor likewise does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information about game servers (including online player counts, versions, chronicles, rates, opening dates, and other indicators), nor the availability, honesty, or security of the third-party servers themselves. All information about servers is informational in nature, and the User accesses servers at their own risk.

5.2. The Contractor is not liable for:

• Direct or indirect damage arising from the use or inability to use the Site;
• The content of external resources linked to from the catalog;
• Loss of the User's data.

5.3. Indemnification. The User agrees to defend and indemnify the Contractor, its partners, and employees against any claims, lawsuits, fines, and expenses (including legal costs) arising from the User's violation of the terms of this Agreement or the rights of third parties in connection with their use of the Site. Should any claims, lawsuits, or demands be brought against the Contractor by third parties or regulatory authorities in connection with content posted by the User (Server Owner) or the activity of their server, liability for such claims rests exclusively with the User. The User undertakes, within 10 (ten) business days of receiving the corresponding demand from the Contractor, to reimburse in full the amounts paid by the Contractor under such claims, including the principal debt, penalties, fines, court costs, and legal representation expenses.

5.4. Limitation of Liability. In relations with Users acting for business purposes (Server Owners that are sole proprietors and legal entities), the Contractor's aggregate liability under Article 15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is limited to a total amount of RUB 10,000 (ten thousand rubles). This limitation does not apply to consumer-Users (individuals purchasing services for personal needs) — the Contractor's liability to a consumer is determined by the consumer protection legislation of the Russian Federation.

6. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

6.1. The Contractor respects intellectual property rights. The mention of game titles (for example, World of Warcraft, Lineage 2, Aion, etc.) and the use of their logos in the catalog is carried out exclusively for informational purposes, to identify the server's category (Nominative Fair Use).

6.2. If you are a rights holder and believe that your rights have been infringed on the Site or any of its subdomains, contact us at: abuse@bestgames.to or use the DMCA form.

6.3. Attribution of Third-Party Trademarks. "Minecraft" is a trademark of Mojang AB, a subsidiary of Microsoft Corporation. "Mojang" and the Mojang logo are trademarks of Mojang AB. The names and trademarks of all games presented in the catalog (including World of Warcraft, Lineage II, Aion, MU Online, Perfect World, and others) belong to their respective rights holders; specific attribution is published in the footer of the corresponding game section.

6.4. No Affiliation. BestGames.to is NOT an official Minecraft service and is NOT approved by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Mojang Studios, Mojang AB, or Microsoft Corporation. The Platform operates independently as a third-party information aggregator.

6.5. Compliance with Game Publishers' EULAs. Users who post Listings for game servers (including, but not limited to, Minecraft servers) are solely responsible for complying with the End User License Agreement (EULA), commercial use guidelines, and any other applicable terms of the relevant game publisher. The Contractor does not verify, does not guarantee, and bears no liability for the compliance of posted servers with the terms of any game publisher.

6.6. User-Generated Content (UGC). All server Listings, descriptions, reviews, and other materials uploaded by Users constitute user-generated content. Such content is not verified, approved, or endorsed by the Contractor. The opinions expressed in user-generated content do not reflect the position of the Platform. Users access the game servers posted on the Platform at their own risk.

6.7. Intellectual Property Claims. If a rights holder believes that any content on the Site infringes their intellectual property rights, they may send a takedown request to abuse@bestgames.to or use the DMCA form. The Contractor reviews substantiated requests within up to 72 hours; in the event of an obvious violation, the disputed material is blocked immediately. This response procedure supports the Contractor's status as an information intermediary (Art. 1253.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

7. FINAL PROVISIONS

• 7.1. All disputes are resolved through negotiations. Pre-litigation claim procedure is mandatory (response period — 30 days).
• 7.2. The law applicable to this Agreement is the legislation of the Russian Federation. All disputes are subject to review in the court at the Contractor's place of location, after compliance with the mandatory pre-litigation (claim) procedure, except in cases of jurisdiction imperatively established by consumer protection legislation.
• 7.3. Inaction on the part of the Contractor in the event of a violation by the User of the provisions of the Agreement does not deprive the Contractor of the right to take appropriate action to protect its interests at a later time.
