Legal information

Terms of use

NovaClient is an independent DDNet-based client. It is not an official DDNet, Teeworlds, Discord or KoG service. The client is free to download, open and play without an activation key. Connected services, cosmetics, profiles and community features may require an account or a compatible build.

Use the client and online services in accordance with applicable law and the rules of each game server or third-party platform you access. Do not abuse the API, impersonate another player, submit another person's verification code or attempt to disrupt the service. Features and online availability may change; local play is not conditioned on online identity.

Download only from the official NovaClient-Dist releases. Keep the complete package together. Platform requirements and notices are provided with each release. NovaClient does not promise a particular frame rate or uninterrupted service on every computer.

Discord sign-in identifies your Discord account; a separate temporary code from the client links a device identity. Account linking does not prove ownership of a KoG nickname. Public leaderboards display client-recorded totals and are not official KoG rankings.

For account, license or legal questions, contact the project through the NovaClient community support. This page does not replace the license terms of the software and third-party components below.

Privacy information

The client stores settings and personal game history locally under the DDNet data directory. Optional connected services process the account and device identifiers needed for sign-in and role verification, a Discord ID when linked, a chosen player name, role, title selection, and service security records. When statistics sharing is enabled, the client sends recorded play time, counters and map attempts for the player profile and leaderboards. Public profiles use an opaque profile ID; they do not display license numbers, Discord IDs or device proofs.

The website stores its account session in browser storage. Discord sign-in uses a short-lived OAuth state cookie and a one-use exchange code. The API verifies the session and form token; signing out invalidates the server session. The website also loads its own font and static assets. External links, including Discord and GitHub, are governed by those services' own privacy terms.

Sharing controls in the client affect optional public signals and statistics. Turning statistics sharing off requests removal of the stored shared gameplay statistics and map-attempt records during the next authenticated synchronization; existing local history is not deleted. Revoking a connected identity affects online services, not local gameplay.

To request access, correction or deletion of account data, or ask about retention and recipients, contact NovaClient support. Identity verification may be needed before account changes. Technical and legal retention obligations can limit deletion of some records. Do not post verification codes, tokens or personal records in a public channel.
