Terms of Use
The rules for using mizan.ac and the Mizan API, and what you can and can't rely on a record for.
Last updated .
Who Runs Mizan
Mizan, at mizan.ac and api.mizan.ac, is run by KORDU LTD, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16836154). Its registered office is First Floor Office, 3 Hornton Place, London W8 4LZ. "We" on this page means KORDU LTD.
What Mizan Does
Mizan reads the ban lists game communities publish and keeps one record for each player account it finds on them. Anyone can read a record on mizan.ac, and organizations that run game servers can read records through the API.
A Record Is the Lists' Claims
Each ban on a record belongs to the community that published it. We copy what its list says. We don't check whether the ban was deserved, and a ban on one community's list means nothing about any other server.
Read a record as what other communities have said about an account, and make your own decisions. Don't present a record as proof that someone cheated or broke a rule. A player who thinks a ban is wrong can dispute it; the disputes page explains how.
Using mizan.ac
You need to be 13 or older to make an account on mizan.ac.
- Look up any player. Lookups are limited per connection; if one is refused, wait a minute and try again.
- Don't copy the site in bulk with scripts. Use the API, which exists for that and has its own limits.
- Don't try to get around rate limits, break the site or reach anything that isn't public.
- Don't use a record to harass, threaten or publicly shame the person it's about.
Organizations and the API
An organization uses the API with its own key. The organization is responsible for what is done with its key, so keep it on your own servers and don't share it.
- Use answers to decide who plays on your own servers and to moderate your own community.
- Stay within the rate limits, and don't use several keys to get past them.
- Don't resell answers, or use them to publish a copy of the registry.
- If your organization adds bans, add only bans your own staff gave on your own servers, keep each one accurate, and end it through the API when you lift it or an appeal succeeds.
We can suspend an organization or revoke a key when these terms are broken or a key is being misused. A suspended organization's requests are refused.
Your Responsibilities When You Act on a Record
When your organization refuses, kicks or bans a player because of a record, that decision is yours. You may be the controller of the data you keep about your own players, with your own duties under data protection law.
Data Your Community Keeps on Mizan
Your community's dashboard holds records about your players: the joins your servers report, your staff's notes, flags and warnings, alt decisions, Discord links, appeals and evidence files. Your community decides what goes in and why, so for these records it is the controller and we process them for it. The rest of Mizan, including the registry and Mizan's answers about a player, is ours, and the privacy policy covers it.
For the records your community keeps, we:
- use them only to run your dashboard and its features as you set them, unless the law requires otherwise, in which case we'll tell you first if the law lets us
- let only staff who need to see them do so, under a duty of confidence
- keep them secure, and tell you without undue delay if a breach affects them
- use the providers listed in the privacy policy, under terms that protect the data as these do, and tell you before we add one
- help you answer your players' requests to see, correct or delete their data, and with any assessment you carry out
- delete them when you delete them, and delete all of them within 30 days of your community being deleted, unless the law requires us to keep them
- give you what you need to show these terms are kept
You must have a lawful basis for what your staff record, tell your players about it, and answer their requests. If a player asks us about your records, we'll send them to you, or answer them ourselves where the law requires it.
No Guarantee
Mizan is provided as it is. Lists change, readers fail and a record can be out of date or wrong. We don't promise that a record is complete or accurate, or that the site and the API will always be available. We can change or stop any part of Mizan.
Liability
We aren't liable for decisions you or anyone else make using a record, or for losses that come from Mizan being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to limit, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
If you use mizan.ac as a consumer, rather than for an organization, nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
Changes and Law
We update this page when the terms change, and the date at the top shows the current version. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and its courts deal with any dispute about them.
