Terms of use

1What mcindex.gg is

mcindex.gg is a website on which Minecraft Java accounts can be looked up. For every account we show publicly available data and a rating of how rare it is and why.

mcindex.gg does not buy or sell accounts, does not broker sales and is not a marketplace. We never ask for the login details of a Minecraft or Microsoft account.

mcindex.gg is not connected to Mojang AB or Microsoft. The terms of use of Minecraft continue to apply independently of these terms; whether and how an account may be transferred is governed by them.

2What a rating is, and what it is not

The rarity shown (0 to 100) and its tier are a classification by fixed, published rules, calculated from the name and the capes of an account. They are not a price, not a statement of value, not an offer to buy, and not financial or legal advice.

Much about an account is invisible to us, for example bans on servers, previous owners or capes that were never worn in public. With every rating we show what it is made of and whether the data is complete.

Owner counts, name histories and cape lists come from third parties and can be incomplete or out of date.

3Account

The search and all profiles can be used without an account. You need an account to link a Minecraft account and to decide how it is presented.

• An account belongs to one person. Keep your password and your recovery codes secret.
• Without a stored e-mail address we can restore an account only with a recovery code or through the linked Minecraft account.
• You can delete your account in the settings at any time.

4Linking a Minecraft account

You may link only an account that you control yourself. The proof runs through our Minecraft server and a code; you do not enter any login details for it.

If somebody else later proves control of the same account, the link passes to that person. A link never changes a valuation.

5What is not allowed

• automated mass queries, reading out the site on a large scale, and circumventing limits;
• attacks on the site, its users or the services it obtains data from;
• having other people’s profiles hidden under false statements;
• using the site to deceive others, for instance by passing off a rating as a price, as an appraisal or as an offer by mcindex.

In case of violations we may limit requests, block an account or remove a link.

6Index+

Index+ is a voluntary subscription. It changes the look of your own profiles and a few comfort limits. It never changes a rating, a tier or an order in a list, and hiding is never an Index+ perk.

When Index+ ends, your design settings stay saved but are no longer shown until you buy Index+ again. They are deleted with your account or when a Minecraft account passes to another account.

The seller and contracting party is Tebex Limited (see the imprint). Price, payment, cancellation, withdrawal and refunds are governed by Tebex’s terms and are handled there. As long as the purchase has not been activated, Index+ cannot be bought.

7Availability and changes to the service

We strive for reliable operation but do not owe a particular availability. The site depends on external services; if they fail, we show the last known state.

We keep developing the rating model. Ratings can change as a result; we document changes to the model on the “How rarity works” page.

8Liability

Our liability is unlimited in cases of intent and gross negligence and for injury to life, body or health. In the case of a slightly negligent breach of an essential contractual obligation, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of the contract. Otherwise liability is excluded as far as the law does not prescribe otherwise.

We accept no responsibility for decisions somebody makes on the basis of a rating.

9Changes and applicable law

If we change these terms substantially, we tell signed-in users on the site before the change takes effect.
