Legal
Terms of Service
The rules for using Trace, buying a licence and keeping your account.
These terms are an agreement between you and Trace for the Trace website, dashboard and scanner (together, "Trace"). By creating an account or buying a licence, you accept these terms, the Privacy Policy and the End User Licence Agreement.
The service
- Trace is a forensic scanner for FiveM servers. When your own anti-cheat flags a player, your staff can ask that player to run the Trace scanner. Trace then reports what was running on their machine.
- A report is evidence, not proof. A clean report means nothing matched at the moment of the scan. Use reports alongside staff judgement.
- Moderation decisions, including bans and other account restrictions, are made by your server's staff. Trace is not responsible for bans or restrictions that anyone decides on using Trace.
- We may change, improve or discontinue parts of the service. Where a change materially reduces what a paid plan includes, we tell customers first.
Accounts
- You need an account to use the dashboard. Keep your sign-in details secure; you are responsible for activity on your account.
- No sharing accounts or licences. A licence covers the staff seats of its plan, and nobody else.
- We can suspend or close any account that breaks these terms. Breaking them seriously or repeatedly means a permanent ban.
Licences and payment
- Prices are in euro, with tax added at checkout where it applies. Payments are processed by Stripe; card details never reach Trace.
- Recurring plans renew automatically on the term you chose until you cancel. A lifetime licence is a single payment with no renewal.
- Follow the payment instructions at checkout exactly, so your licence can be activated without delay.
- Refunds are covered by the Refund Policy.
- Chargebacks get you banned permanently. If something is wrong with a payment, contact us first.
- Reselling or sharing Trace or a licence without our explicit written permission is prohibited.
Acceptable use
- Before asking a player to run the scanner, tell them what it does. The scope page lists exactly what it reads.
- Use reports only to moderate your own server. Don't publish a player's report or use it to harass anyone.
- No reverse engineering or modifying the scanner, the dashboard or the API, and no attempts to bypass, tamper with or spoof a scan.
- You are responsible for having a lawful basis to ask your players to run a scan, and for answering their requests about their reports.
Warranty and liability
- Trace is provided "as is". No scanner detects every cheat, and we don't promise that it will.
- To the extent the law allows, Trace's total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid for Trace in the twelve months before the claim.
- Nothing in these terms removes rights you have under consumer law that cannot be excluded.
Changes to these terms
- We can change these terms. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use Trace after a change means you accept it.
