Terms of Service

As the number of users of the PokéPC network (the platform) grows, so do the costs of maintaining the website and paying for its cloud services. To help with these costs, we have implemented a donation system that allows users to contribute to the platform's maintenance.

The donation system is entirely voluntary, and users are not required to donate to access or use all the features of the platform.

By donating, the users not only contribute to the platform's maintenance but also gain access to additional benefits for the existing platform features, in a form of early access, extra capacity, or other perks.

We dont want to put entire features behind a paywall, but we can't neither allow unlimited content generation on them without some form of control. The donation system helps us to maintain a balance between the platform's growth and the costs of maintaining it.

Extra perks are not exclusive to donors and may be available to other users depending on how they help the platform: via helping with the development, through design and content creation, or by helping us reaching out to more users (e.g. being featured in a video, website or post).

We believe in the importance of the community and the value of the contributions of each user, regardless of their financial capacity.

Without the supporters and the Pokémon fan community, the PokéPC platform (formerly known as SuperEffective.gg) would not exist.

We use self-hosted, privacy-friendly analytics to understand how our website is used and to improve it over time.

• We operate our own instances of Umami and Plausible for analytics. These tools are cookieless by default and store only aggregated, non-personal data. IP addresses may be briefly processed to derive a coarse location (e.g., country) and are not stored long-term.
• We do not use third-party advertising cookies, and we do not sell your personal data.
• We use Cloudflare as protection and as a traffic proxy for the website.

For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the services. If you are under 18, you may use the services only with involvement of a parent or legal guardian.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities under your account. - Notify us promptly of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your account or any other security breach. - We may take actions to protect the platform and users, including suspension of accounts involved in suspected abuse.

You may submit content to the services (e.g., profiles, dexes, trading boxes). You retain your rights in that content. You grant PokéPC a non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting and display), publish, and display your content as necessary to operate, improve, and promote the services. You are responsible for ensuring you have all rights necessary to submit the content and grant this license.

In addition to the rules above, you agree not to:

• Access or use the services in a manner intended to circumvent limits, quotas, or fair‑use policies.
• Scrape, crawl, or harvest data without written permission, except as permitted by robots.txt and applicable law.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive source code except to the extent permitted by law.
• Perform security testing (including probing, scanning, or penetration testing) without prior written authorization.
• Upload malware, interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the services, or attempt to gain unauthorized access.

The information provided on this website is provided "as is" without any representations or warranties, express or implied. PokéPC makes no representations or warranties in relation to the information on this website.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing paragraph, PokéPC does not warrant that:

• The information on this website will be constantly available, or available at all; or
• The information on this website is complete, true, accurate, or non-misleading, even though we strive to provide the most accurate information possible.

By accepting these terms, you agree that you will not hold PokéPC responsible for any and all damages resulting from the use of our services.

By accepting these terms, you also agree to our extended Legal Disclaimer.

PokéPC is not affiliated with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Game Freak, Creatures Inc., or any other official Pokémon licensing entity. All Pokémon content is © Nintendo, Game Freak, and The Pokémon Company.

To the extent permitted by law, PokéPC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill.

For users who have paid for features or perks, due to service unavailability or material interruption, you will have the possibility for a refund of the last paid month, if the time of the interruption is longer than 3 days.

We might also consider automatically compensating our users if the service is down for more than 3 days, including pausing all paid subscriptions, if we consider it will take longer than 3 days to fix the issue.

Users accessing pre-release or early access versions of the website should be aware that these versions are still in development and subject to change. Errors, bugs, and data loss may occur during this phase.

Features in pre-release versions may be added, removed, or significantly altered before the final release. Users should understand that their data might not be preserved and could potentially be cleaned up when transitioning to the final version.

By participating in pre-release or early access, users acknowledge and accept the risks associated with using unfinished software, including the possibility of data loss and feature changes.

We may modify the services and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Your continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the changes.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or use the services in a way that could cause harm. You may stop using the services at any time. Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive (e.g., user content license, disclaimers, limitations of liability) will continue to apply.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PokéPC and its maintainers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your use of the services or violation of these Terms.

If you submit ideas, suggestions, or feedback, you grant PokéPC a perpetual, irrevocable, non‑exclusive, worldwide, royalty‑free license to use, modify, and incorporate them without obligation.

The services may link to or interoperate with third‑party services (e.g., Patreon, Canny). We are not responsible for third‑party services and disclaim any liability arising from your use of them. Your use of third‑party services is governed by their terms and privacy policies.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where PokéPC is established, without regard to conflict of laws principles. You and PokéPC agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in that jurisdiction for disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the services. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, you may bring claims in your country of residence and rely on mandatory consumer protection laws of that country.

These Terms are the entire agreement between you and PokéPC regarding the services. If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond reasonable control (force majeure). Headings are for convenience only.
