These Cross-Server Matchmaking Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Cross-Server Matchmaking feature provided by Vanillate Studio as part of Vanillate Sambung Kata (the "Service").

Cross-Server Matchmaking is a feature that allows players of Vanillate Sambung Kata to be matched with other players from different Discord servers that use the Service.

Players may be matched regardless of whether they are members of the same Discord server or are connected as Discord friends.

When you join Cross-Server Matchmaking, your account is placed into a global matchmaking queue.

The Service automatically searches for available opponents using matchmaking criteria determined by Vanillate Studio.

Vanillate Studio does not guarantee:

• →the availability of opponents;
• →the time required to find a match;
• →the quality or outcome of any match; or
• →uninterrupted access to the Service.

Your matchmaking request may be cancelled automatically if no suitable opponent is found within a reasonable period, if technical issues occur, or if required for operational or security purposes.

To operate Cross-Server Matchmaking, certain information may be visible to other players during matchmaking or gameplay, including:

The collection, use, and processing of personal information are governed by the Vanillate Studio Privacy Policy.

Vanillate Studio may also modify matchmaking algorithms, gameplay mechanics, balancing, or supporting systems without prior notice to improve the overall quality, fairness, and stability of the Service.

• →cancelling a match;
• →restricting access to Cross-Server Matchmaking;
• →temporarily suspending access; or

The enforcement action taken will be determined based on the nature and severity of the violation.

Vanillate Studio may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, operational requirements, applicable laws, or new features.

The latest version will be published through the official Vanillate Studio website or other official communication channels.

Your continued use of Cross-Server Matchmaking after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
