Terms & Conditions

Terminology

• Keksia Limited, the owning body of the Mine Servers™ network, shall be referred to as Keksia.
• All Minecraft server lists owned by Keksia Limited, and any spin-offs, shall be referred to as the Network.
• Those with direct or indirect control over one or more server listing on the Network, or those with reasonable control or involvement over the operation of servers referred to in server listings, shall be referred to as Operators.
• Those who use the Network for any reason, including finding and voting on a server, shall be referred to as Users.

Queries

In order for us to provide up-to-date status information on servers, as well as detailed statistics in the case of a server using our Advanced Query system, we will periodically send requests to your server to retrieve information.

The queries we send will not interfere with the operation of your server. We only use public query protocols built in to the game server.

Voting

Voting is the core of the ranking system of the site, and as such, is strictly controlled. We restrict voting to one vote, per individual, per day, to prevent abuse.

Operators also must make considerations in how they promote voting to conform with the requirements of the site:

• No automated vote systems of any kind are permitted.
• Votes must come from genuine Users, who actively play the server they are voting for.
• Operators must never offer a reward on one server for voting on another server.
• Operators must promote voting on a server only to Users of that specific server.

Cheating

We use extensive measures to detect and prevent vote cheating on our sites. Our methods of detection are internal to the website and are not publicly described, in order to protect the algorithms and prevent abuse.

If our systems alert us to vote cheating on your server, we will always manually investigate this to verify the results. In the case of a positive detection, the Operator will be contacted (wherever possible) to discuss the discontinuation of such practices. A score and listing penalty may also apply, depending on the circumstances and severity of the situation.

Continued cheating following a warning will result in permanent blacklisting from all sites.

Featured/Premium Servers

• Featured and Premium purchases may be refunded only in extreme cases, at the discretion of Keksia.
• If a Featured/Premium server is to be removed due to policy violations, a pro-rata refund will be available on request.
• Administration Fees totaling 10% of the refund amount will be deducted from any refund made.
• Unauthorized chargebacks will result in legal prosecution.

Network Servers

Any server that connects multiple sub-servers through a proxy or forwarding service shall be considered a Network Server. The listing of network servers is permitted providing that the following rules are adhered to:

• Network servers may only list their root Hub server on the site, not sub-servers individually.
• Only votes from sub-servers that are related to the site may be added to the site.
• Multiple sub-servers may pool their votes into one listing providing the above is true for each server.
• It is the responsibility of the Operator to meet these conditions.
• Failure to meet these conditions will be enforced in the same way as vote cheating is enforced.
• In order to help prevent spam, we require a unique IP address to be used for each listed server.
