Terms of use

What Chudlock is

A fan-made coaching site for Deadlock. It isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Valve. Deadlock, its heroes and its art belong to Valve. Match data comes from the community deadlock-api.

Advice, not guarantees

Coaching findings, the coach's read and every stat are estimates from match data. They can be wrong, and the AI can misread a match even after our checks. Use them as a second opinion, not an instruction. The site is provided as is, and features may change or go away.

Your account

You sign in with your own Steam account. Don't sign in as, or pretend to be, someone else. We can end access for anyone who abuses the site.

Fair use

• Don't scrape the site or hammer it with automated requests.
• Don't try to get around rate limits, the paywall, or checks on uploads.
• Don't use the site to harass other players. Share cards are for fun.

Replay uploads

Only upload replays of matches you played in, downloaded from Deadlock and unaltered. You let us store the file until it's parsed, and to keep and show what we learn from it to players of that match. Every upload is checked against Valve's record of the match; files that don't match are discarded, and deliberately doctored uploads can lose you access.

Patron

Patron isn't on sale yet. Some accounts have complimentary access for testing; it can be withdrawn at any time. These terms will cover payments before they open.

Liability

We do our best to keep Chudlock accurate and available, but can't promise either. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for losses from using it, including lost matches or rank. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date below shows the latest version. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Questions: hello@chudlock.com.
