1. General Behaviour

When you use DartCounter, it is important that you treat other players with respect and courtesy. Regardless of whether you are a beginning or seasoned player, the primary goal is for anyone to feel welcome in the darts community, and be able to improve their skills.

Misbehaviour, such as offensive language, or harmful content is strictly prohibited.

Picture yourself sharing a thrilling darts game. You share your game through a camera screen knowing it’s suitable for all audiences. The content is free of offensive, obscene, or harmful material. Everyone in the community can enjoy it without worry, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Sharing appropriate content helps maintain this safe environment.

As you navigate through DartCounter, you’re aware that all activities are legal and ethical. There’s no promotion of illegal activities, and you feel secure knowing that the platform operates within the bounds of the law. It’s a community where legal behaviour is upheld, ensuring a trustworthy and reliable experience for all users.

In short:

Respect all users: Treat all users with respect and courtesy. Harassment, discrimination, or abusive behaviour will not be tolerated.
Appropriate content: Share content that is appropriate for all audiences. Offensive, obscene, or harmful content is strictly prohibited.
Follow the law: Do not engage in or promote illegal activities through the app.

2. General communication

Imagine giving and receiving feedback that is always respectful and thoughtful. On DartCounter, every message and comment builds up the community rather than tearing it down. Helpful and constructive content fills the app. Whether it’s tips for improving your game or sharing interesting dart-related information, every piece of content contributes positively to the community.

It’s important to use your real identity. There’s no impersonation of other users, celebrities, or DartCounter’s team. Authenticity is key, and it ensures that interactions are genuine and trustworthy. At the same time, we promise to keep your data secure.

Also, keep the app free from unsolicited ads and promotions. So you never have to worry about being bombarded with unwanted messages, making your experience smooth and enjoyable.

3. Voice calls

Voice calls are pleasant and respectful. There’s no shouting, offensive language, or aggressive behaviour. Conversations are polite, making each interaction enjoyable. Privacy is respected at all times. Personal information is never shared without consent, ensuring that all users feel safe during their calls. You’re free to decide whether you’d like to use voice calls. Equally important, calls are never recorded by the app. This ensures that your conversations remain private and secure.

Chats are filled with positive and constructive conversations. Derogatory language, hate speech, and threats have no place here, creating a welcoming environment for all. The chats are free from spam, repetitive messages, and unsolicited advertisements. This keeps the discussions relevant and engaging. Your privacy, and that of others, is protected. Personal information shouldn’t be shared in chats, safeguarding everyone's security. Users under 18 are allowed to spectate chats but cannot participate. This ensures a controlled and safe communication environment for all age groups.

5. Streaming dart games

Every streamed game is honest and fair. Avoid cheating, or exploiting glitches. Integrity in gameplay is important. Streams are appropriate for all viewers. There’s no offensive language or gestures. Camera streams focus solely on the dartboard or players throwing darts, maintaining the game’s integrity. Only your own games are streamed. There’s no pirated content or unauthorised material, respecting intellectual property rights. Users under 18 can only spectate streams. This restriction ensures that the streaming content remains appropriate and secure.

In short

Fair play: Stream games honestly. Cheating or exploiting glitches is prohibited.
Respect spectators and participants: Ensure that your streams are appropriate for all viewers. Do not use offensive language or gestures. Additionally, do not use camera streams for any other purpose than for streaming the dartboard itself, or for players throwing darts at the dart board.
Copyright compliance: Only stream content from your own games. Do not stream pirated content or content you don’t have intellectual property rights over.
