Terms

Ascend Odyssey is an advisory companion for progression games. It helps you decide what to play and keeps the records you enter. It is early: today it holds your own records, does arithmetic on them you can check, and links to community guides it does not copy. The home page sets out what is available now, what is being built, and what has not been started.

Ascend Odyssey is an unofficial, independent product. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Jagex Ltd. RuneScape and Old School RuneScape are trademarks of Jagex Ltd.

These are absolute, and none of them has a code path that could break it:

• Ascend Odyssey never automates any part of playing a game. It does not connect to a game client, simulate input, or act on your behalf.
• Ascend Odyssey never asks for your game password, for any feature, on any plan. If anything claiming to be Ascend Odyssey asks for one, it is not us.
• Ascend Odyssey never sells your data, in any form, to anybody.
• Ascend Odyssey never carries advertising.

• You must be at least 13 years old to hold an account. Ascend Odyssey asks for your date of birth once, when you create one, and refuses accounts under that age.
• One account per person. Keep your sign-in details to yourself.
• Do not use Ascend Odyssey to help with automation, macroing, account sharing or selling, real-money trading, or exploiting a game’s bugs. Ascend Odyssey will decline, and repeated attempts may cost you your account.
• Do not attempt to break, overload or extract data from Ascend Odyssey at scale. If you find a security problem, tell us instead — see below.

Ascend Odyssey has a community section — threads, and a board for arranging to play something with somebody. It is switched off today. Nothing you write reaches another customer, and there is nowhere in the product to try. These terms describe it now so that opening it is a decision somebody makes rather than a change to what you already agreed to.

When it opens, three things end an account immediately rather than earning a warning:

• Doubling, staking and investment offers. There is no honest version of this.
• Anything asking for an account password or linking to a sign-in page. Ascend Odyssey and the people who run the game never ask for yours, so anybody who does is not us.
• Selling accounts, gold, services or boosting.

Everything else is judged by a person, never by a heuristic, and a reason is written down every time. The lightest thing that works comes first: one post removed before a warning, a warning before anything happens to an account.

Removing a post is not deleting it, and that is deliberate. A removed post keeps its place in the conversation with its text withheld, so a thread does not silently reshape itself around a gap and the replies to it still make sense. What you wrote stays yours; removal is a decision about whether other people see it.

Closing your account leaves your posts where they are, with your name and your words removed. This is the one place Ascend Odyssey does not simply delete something you typed, and it is worth knowing before you post rather than after. A goal is yours alone and goes with you. A post is half of a conversation other people took part in, and deleting it would remove the message everybody was replying to. What is left is a marker: something was said here, by somebody who has left.

• What you put into Ascend Odyssey is yours. You can export all of it at any time.
• You can close your account at any time, from your settings, without asking anybody. What that removes is set out in the privacy page.
• Cancelling a paid plan will be self-service and no harder than subscribing. There will be no retention gauntlet and no phone call.
• Downgrading will never delete anything. Features you stop paying for become read-only rather than disappearing.

The Ascend Odyssey software, its interface and its content are proprietary and all rights are reserved. You may use the product; you may not copy, resell or redistribute it.

Naming a game, a quest, an item or a skill is descriptive use. Ascend Odyssey does not reproduce any publisher’s artwork, screenshots, icons or guide content, and does not use community content whose licence does not permit commercial use.

Ascend Odyssey is early and is being built in the open. Features described as in development or planned may change or may not arrive. Nothing on any Ascend Odyssey page should be read as a commitment to a date, because Ascend Odyssey does not give dates.

When Ascend Odyssey does begin giving advice, that advice is an estimate and will be labelled as one, with the age of the data behind it. Acting on it is your decision.

Ascend Odyssey depends on services it does not control. When one of them is unavailable, Ascend Odyssey says so rather than guessing, and your data is unaffected.

These are a statement of practice rather than a finished contract, and they will be replaced with reviewed wording before Ascend Odyssey takes payment. Any change that reduces what you get or increases what is asked of you will be told to you directly, not published quietly.
