Effective and last updated: October 20, 2026.
These terms apply to RinkRelay, its Discord bot and dashboard, operated under the Vexium Labs name. Vexium Labs is the public point of contact.
1. Using the service
By using the bot or dashboard, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must be eligible to use Discord, comply with its terms and community guidelines, and meet applicable local age and consent requirements. Where necessary, a parent or legal guardian must authorize your use.
Only install or configure the bot for a server you are authorized to manage. Server managers are responsible for selecting appropriate channels, permissions and access, and for informing their community about automated posts and relevant policies. Other members can use commands subject to the server’s Discord permissions.
2. Features and automated messages
The bot offers scores, player and team statistics, NHL EDGE data, standings, leaderboards, season navigation, and automated scoreboards, goals, penalties and final recaps. Optional game-day alerts post the matchup, start time, venue and available broadcasts around 9 a.m. in the selected timezone, in a separately assigned channel. They remain off until enabled by a server manager. Feature availability can change.
When you enable a scoreboard, you authorize the bot to post and edit its game messages in the chosen channel and delete its tracked live messages during corrections, reconfiguration or game finalization. After a game, a final recap remains and tracked live announcements are removed. A fresh scoreboard is created when the next game begins. Do not rely on live bot messages as a permanent archive. The bot is designed to leave unrelated user messages and earlier recaps alone, but bugs and interruptions are possible.
Some interactions are private while their selected result is posted publicly in the channel. Review the on-screen description before sharing a result. Channel visibility is controlled by Discord and your server administrators.
3. Sports data and video availability
Scores, timing, penalties, player statistics and historical information come from third-party sources and may be delayed, incomplete, unavailable or corrected. “Live” describes automated updates, not guaranteed real-time delivery. The service is for general information and entertainment and should not be your sole source for wagering or other decisions with financial consequences.
Goal highlights appear only when a usable clip is available from NHL’s video sources. Video availability, regional access and playback depend on those sources and Discord. The bot may update a goal message with a late clip while the game is being tracked; it does not continue polling indefinitely after finalization. Video links can expire or stop working. NHL fallback links are provided when available.
4. Acceptable use
Do not use the service to break the law, violate Discord’s rules, harass others, spam channels, infringe third-party rights, or submit sensitive information where it is not requested. Do not attempt to access another user’s session or a server you do not manage, bypass permissions or rate limits, expose credentials, or disrupt the backend.
Report suspected security issues privately to the operator. Do not exploit them or access other people’s information. Keep your Discord account secure and sign out of shared devices.
5. Data and privacy
The accompanying Privacy Policy explains the service’s information handling and your choices. Discord, NHL, video providers and hosting providers have their own terms and privacy practices. These terms do not replace those policies or authorize collection beyond what is disclosed and permitted by law.
Removing the bot, pausing updates and signing out have different effects. Removal does not immediately erase stored data. A daily cleanup deletes server settings and associated game-message records after 30 days from confirmed bot removal, provided a fresh membership check still shows the bot absent. Completed game-message records are separately eligible for cleanup 30 days after game finalization. Discord summaries are not deleted by database cleanup. Contact the operator to request deletion of application data, as described in the Privacy Policy.
6. Ownership and third-party material
RinkRelay is an independent project and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the NHL, its teams, Discord, or other referenced providers. Their names, logos, statistics, footage and other materials remain subject to their owners’ rights.
Access to the bot does not grant you ownership of or a license to redistribute third-party highlight footage or other protected content. Use linked or displayed content only as permitted by its owner and applicable law. Nothing in these terms asserts that Vexium Labs owns NHL footage or grants rights on the NHL’s behalf.
7. Availability, changes, and charges
The current implementation has no billing or paid subscription feature. Any future paid offering would require separate pricing and payment terms presented before a charge is authorized.
The service may be changed, rate-limited, paused or discontinued because of maintenance, capacity, abuse, upstream changes or other operational reasons. Continuous availability, uninterrupted updates and support response times are not guaranteed. Where reasonably practicable, we will give notice of material changes or planned discontinuation.
8. Suspension and stopping use
The operator may restrict access where reasonably necessary to address misuse, security risks, legal obligations or service stability. You can stop using the bot at any time; authorized managers can pause scoreboard updates or remove it from their server. Data requests and retention are handled separately under the Privacy Policy.
Stopping the service does not give the operator a right to retain information indefinitely. We remove information in accordance with applicable obligations and the Privacy Policy.
9. Disclaimers and responsibility
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without a promise that it will meet every requirement, remain available, or be free of errors. This does not exclude warranties, guarantees, remedies or duties that cannot lawfully be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, Vexium Labs is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses caused by reliance on delayed or incorrect sports data, third-party outages, or unavailable clips. Nothing in these terms excludes liability where exclusion is unlawful.
10. Changes, disputes, and contact
We will update the date on this page when these terms change. We will give reasonable notice of material changes and obtain fresh agreement where required.
Contact the operator first to try to resolve a concern. Nothing in these terms removes mandatory consumer rights or your ability to approach a competent regulator or court. These terms do not select an exclusive court or override the law that applies to you.
