Terms of Service

Service Description

reforgermods.net provides a website, browser tools, embeddable widgets, a public status page, a desktop launcher, and read-only JSON access to normalized Arma Reforger data.

That data has two sources. Workshop metadata may include mod names, authors, descriptions, images, tags, ratings, download counts, update dates, dependencies, scenarios, and links back to official Workshop pages. Server data is indexed from the public Arma Reforger server list and may include server names, scenarios, region and ping site, platform availability, BattlEye and password flags, current and historical player counts, queue figures and queue wait estimates, server simulation FPS, published address, port and lobby session identifier where the lobby exposes them, required mods, and derived aggregates such as population history and activity scores.

Both datasets are controlled by Bohemia Interactive and may change, disappear, become unavailable, or contain errors. reforgermods.net caches and formats them but does not verify ownership, entitlement, moderation status, identity, legal rights, or platform account information. The service indexes servers and mods, not players: it holds no player names, platform accounts, in-game identities, or session records.

Derived figures are our interpretation of observed data, not official measurements. Availability and activity scores describe how consistently a server appeared in our collection checks; they are not process uptime, not an SLA, and not a ranking we sell.

Server Listings

Servers appear because they publish themselves to the official Arma Reforger lobby. Listing is not an endorsement, a certification, or a statement about a community's conduct.

If you operate a server and want a listing corrected or removed from this site, contact support. We can correct or remove what we publish, and we may decline where a listing is plainly factual public lobby data. We cannot change what the official lobby publishes, and a server that keeps advertising itself there may be re-indexed.

Do not use server listings, embeds, or population history to harass a community, brigade a server, or misrepresent another server's population or conduct.

API Keys And Accounts

Some API features, higher limits, or paid plans may require an API key or account. You are responsible for keeping credentials secure and for all activity that occurs through your keys unless caused by our own systems.

Do not publish API keys in public repositories, client-side applications, forums, logs, screenshots, or shared config files. We may rotate, suspend, throttle, or revoke keys that are exposed, abused, unpaid, compromised, or used in violation of these terms.

Paid Plans And Billing

Paid API access is sold through monthly subscriptions or other written commercial arrangements. Current public plans are Developer at $5/month and Pro at $15/month. Plan limits, renewal dates, prices, and any special terms will be shown in the checkout flow, invoice, quote, account page, or written agreement that applies to your plan.

Fees are due according to the billing terms presented at purchase. Unless a written agreement says otherwise, paid access may be limited, downgraded, or suspended for failed payment, chargebacks, fraud risk, or unpaid invoices.

Taxes, currency conversion, payment-provider fees, or bank fees may apply. Refunds are handled at our discretion unless required by law or stated in the applicable purchase terms.

If you use the service for an organization, server community, company, school, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to accept these terms for that entity and that the entity is responsible for your use.

Donations

Donations are voluntary contributions toward infrastructure and development, processed through Stripe. They are not a purchase, not a subscription, and not tax-deductible.

A donation buys nothing: it unlocks no features, grants no rate-limit increase, no plan, no support commitment, and no influence over listings, rankings, or placement. If you want higher API limits, buy a plan instead. Donations are generally non-refundable, though we will consider a request made in good faith.

Acceptable Use

Use the API responsibly. Do not attempt to bypass rate limits, evade plan limits, share paid credentials outside your permitted use, overload the service, access non-public service endpoints, probe private infrastructure, interfere with other users, or use the API for unlawful activity.

Do not bulk-scrape the site's HTML pages or embeds in place of the API, and do not spoof or rotate client identification headers to look like many separate clients. The API exists so you do not have to.

Do not use the API to build systems that misrepresent Workshop authorship, imply official Bohemia Interactive affiliation, remove required attribution, or obscure links back to official Workshop pages where those links are appropriate.

Do not send secrets, private tokens, payment details, or sensitive personal information through API query strings, support messages, mod-search inputs, or other free-form inputs.

Rate Limits And Availability

Responses may be cached and temporarily stale. Current public limits are 60 requests/min with a burst of 20 and 5,000 requests/day for anonymous access, 300 requests/min with a burst of 100 and 100,000 requests/day for Developer, and 1,200 requests/min with a burst of 300 and 500,000 requests/day for Pro. Paid limits are shared across all active keys on the same account. Daily quotas reset at midnight UTC. Limits are enforced per client network address; the launcher's install identifier is not a limit subject.

A 202 Accepted response means a background refresh has been queued rather than that something failed. Respect the Retry-After value instead of retrying in a tight loop.

Cache windows, rate limits, response fields, endpoints, paid-plan limits, and availability may change as the service evolves. The status page reports component availability and dataset freshness on a best-effort basis and is not a service level commitment.

The API is provided without a guarantee of uptime, permanent compatibility, completeness, or accuracy unless a separate written agreement says otherwise. You are responsible for deciding whether the data is suitable for your application.

The Desktop Launcher

The launcher is free, optional, and currently a public beta. It may contain defects, and features may change or be withdrawn between releases. It requires no account and sends no API key.

Beta builds are not yet Authenticode-signed, so Windows shows a SmartScreen warning on first run. Verify downloads against the published SHA256SUMS, and install only builds obtained from reforgermods.net/launcher/ or dl.reforgermods.net. We are not responsible for builds redistributed elsewhere or modified by anyone else.

On Windows the launcher checks for updates and verifies a signature before applying one, installing it as the application closes. Keeping it updated is how security fixes reach you. Linux packages update through your distribution's package manager.

The launcher reads your local Arma Reforger addon folder to report mod readiness. It reports only: it never installs, modifies, or removes game content, and a server shown as ready is our reading of your local files, not a guarantee the game will accept the join. Joining hands off to Steam, and what happens after that is between you, Steam, the game, and the server operator.

Discord Rich Presence is on by default and can be switched off in settings. While it is on, the server you are viewing or joining is visible to your Discord contacts.

Behaviour of the game, Steam, Discord, your operating system, and third-party servers is outside our control. Use of the launcher remains subject to Bohemia Interactive's and Valve's own terms.

Embeds And Attribution

The server status embed may be placed on your own site. Do not alter it to misstate a server's figures, strip the link back to reforgermods.net, present it as official Bohemia Interactive data, or serve it at a volume that amounts to bulk scraping. The widget renders from the same cached data as the site; treat its figures as approximate and possibly stale.

When using Workshop data, link users back to the official Workshop page where appropriate, avoid implying official endorsement, and follow applicable Bohemia Interactive terms and policies.

You are responsible for the products, dashboards, bots, mods, communities, or tools you build with the API, including your own privacy notices, user support, security practices, and compliance obligations.

Operational Metrics

The service may collect operational metrics to monitor performance, usage, cache behavior, billing limits, API-key usage, launcher version adoption, and upstream Workshop and lobby fetches. These metrics may include request counts, average/high/low response time, cache hit/miss/stale counts, cache freshness, approximate country-level request origin, coarse unique client-network estimates, distinct launcher-install counts, latest cache activity, latest upstream fetch results, and retained aggregate day/week/month/year buckets.

Operational metrics are used to operate, secure, bill, and improve the service. They are not a public analytics feature and may reset when the API process restarts. How they are derived, and what is deliberately not retained, is described in the Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Content

Workshop content, server names, scenario imagery, descriptions, authorship, trademarks, and related materials belong to their respective owners. reforgermods.net does not grant rights to third-party content. Arma Reforger is a product of Bohemia Interactive; Steam is a product of Valve; Discord is a product of Discord Inc. Their names are used for identification only.

Open-source libraries, vendored browser assets, and other third-party software used by the service and the launcher remain subject to their own licenses. These terms do not grant rights to those third-party materials beyond what their own licenses allow.

Suspension And Changes

We may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the service, including free access, paid plans, API key requirements, endpoints, rate limits, cache behavior, embeds, or the launcher. We may suspend or terminate access for misuse, security risk, non-payment, legal risk, or violation of these terms.

These terms may be updated as the service changes. The date at the top of the page will show when they were last revised.
