A.C.A.S TERMS OF SERVICE
Effective Date: 24/10/2026 (dd/mm/yyyy)

A.C.A.S is open-source software licensed under GPL-3.0 for personal use only.

1. Obligations
Try not to be insufferable. Respect your opponent, don't use A.C.A.S on competitions or anywhere outside of casual play. If people start abusing A.C.A.S, I'll pack it in and stop developing it. I'm not putting all this work in just to help people be arseholes to each other.

Botting wastes everyone's time. Blindly copying engine moves move for move is pointless. Remember to think for yourself. Use the tool to learn, not to play for you. A.C.A.S is not meant to replace you, but to be a companion by your side. If a feature is missing that would help you learn, let the developers know.

If you're about to use A.C.A.S to gain prizes you don't deserve, STOP NOW. You will be caught eventually, you will lose your reputation. Nobody's special, everyone will get caught eventually. Not worth it.

Being 600 ELO at chess doesn't mean you're stupid. Chess is not an IQ test, it's literally just a board game. If you struggle to take a defeat, you might need a bit of help with your headspace more than you need chess assistance.

If you're stuck in a pattern of cheating and finding it hard to stop, know that help is available ❤️, reaching out early can make a difference. If you're not in the right headspace, take a step back from A.C.A.S and look after yourself, mate.

You can still uninstall A.C.A.S and never use it.

If you're here to learn, then by all means, stick around. A.C.A.S can genuinely help you become a better player, provided you use it properly and keep your usage in check. Put the work in, and you'll get far more out of it than you ever would by blindly copying engine moves.

2. Liability
A.C.A.S is provided "as is" without any warranties, express or implied. Use is at your own risk. The creators are not responsible for third-party content, data practices, or external site interactions.
3. Modifications
These Terms may be updated at any time. Continued use of A.C.A.S after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. Users who disagree with any changes must discontinue use of the software immediately.
By using A.C.A.S, you confirm that you have read and agree to these Terms of Service.
