Terms, Privacy & Consumer Notices.

1.1 Private Community Operation

Lusty Looters is an independently managed Australian community ARK cluster. Following the announced interstate relocation, its principal operations will be based in Victoria. Access to the servers, Discord, website, store, vote systems, rewards, events, support channels, and related services is subject to these terms and the cluster rules.

1.2 Not Affiliated Disclaimer

Lusty Looters is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Studio Wildcard, Snail Games, CurseForge, Discord, Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, or any other third party platform or service.

All third party game names, logos, assets, trademarks, mods, and related materials remain the property of their respective owners or licensors. Lusty Looters claims rights only in original material created for the community or lawfully licensed to it.

1.3 Access and Availability

Access may be restricted, suspended, or removed where reasonably required for moderation, security, abuse prevention, technical maintenance, rule enforcement, payment review, fraud prevention, server health, or community safety.

1.4 Acceptance of Terms

By using Lusty Looters services, players agree to follow the current cluster rules and the parts of this Legal Notice relevant to their use. A store purchase or subscription may require separate confirmation at checkout. Acceptance of an updated version does not remove rights relating to an earlier transaction or any right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

1.5 Operator and Official Contact

Lusty Looters is operated from Australia and is transitioning its principal operations to Victoria as part of the announced 2026 relocation. Official support channels linked on this page are the contact point for store, subscription, privacy, moderation, and service questions. Infrastructure hosts and moderators are not the seller or contracting operator merely because they provide technical assistance or temporary hosting space.

2.1 Information Processed

Lusty Looters may collect or process limited information needed to operate the cluster, website, Discord services, voting rewards, account linking, store delivery, subscriptions, fraud prevention, moderation, support tickets, and server security.

This may include Discord account details, platform identifiers, character names, tribe names, server and admin logs, vote records, transaction and subscription metadata, delivery records, IP related technical data, support messages, screenshots, clips, and other information submitted by players. Full payment card details are handled by the payment provider and are not requested by server staff.

2.2 Purpose of Processing

• Operating the ARK cluster, website, vote systems, account linking, subscriptions, rewards, store delivery, and support systems.
• Investigating moderation issues, support issues, fraud, abuse, payment disputes, technical errors, failed delivery, and rule violations.
• Protecting the cluster, economy, community, backend services, webstore systems, and server performance.
• Meeting payment, accounting, legal, and regulatory obligations where applicable.

2.3 Data Requests

Players may contact official support to request access, review, correction, or deletion of personal information where applicable. Identity or account ownership may need to be verified before a request is completed. Some records may be retained where reasonably needed for security, fraud prevention, payment handling, legal compliance, dispute review, active restrictions, moderation history, or server operation.

2.4 Service Providers and Data Sharing

Limited information may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate Lusty Looters, including Discord, Cloudflare, Stripe or another payment provider, hosting and database providers, vote services, support tools, game server tools, APIs, and security services. Information is not sold as part of normal community operation.

2.5 International Processing

Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where applicable, Lusty Looters will take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and handle information consistently with applicable privacy obligations.

2.6 Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use essential cookies, session storage, local storage, security checks, and similar technologies for login, linked accounts, checkout continuity, preferences, fraud prevention, and site performance. Optional analytics or marketing technologies should be disclosed and managed in line with applicable consent requirements.

2.7 Data Retention

Account linking, subscription, store, delivery, moderation, support, security, and technical records are retained only for as long as reasonably needed for their purpose. Routine technical records may be rotated sooner, while transaction, dispute, safety, ban, and accounting records may be kept longer where required to operate the service, prevent repeated abuse, resolve claims, or comply with law. Backup copies may remain for a limited period after deletion from active systems.

2.8 Privacy Questions and Complaints

Privacy requests or complaints may be submitted through official support. Lusty Looters will review the request, may ask for verification, and will respond within a reasonable period or any period required by applicable law. Nothing prevents a person from contacting an appropriate privacy regulator where they have that right.

3.1 Age Notice

Lusty Looters services are not intended for children under 13. A person under 13 must not create or link an account, use the store, or use a connected platform in breach of that platform’s minimum-age rules.

3.2 Parent or Guardian Requests

If staff become aware that personal information has been collected from a child under 13 where consent is required, reasonable steps may be taken to remove or restrict that information.

3.3 Purchases by Minors

A purchaser must be at least 18 years old or have the informed permission of a parent or legal guardian and the authorised payment method owner. Misrepresenting payment authority may result in cancellation, item removal, account restrictions, or referral to the payment provider, subject to applicable law.

4.1 California Rights

California residents may have privacy rights under applicable California privacy laws, including rights to request information about personal data collected, request deletion where applicable, request correction where applicable, and opt out of certain data sharing where applicable.

4.2 No Sale of Personal Information

Lusty Looters does not sell personal information as a normal part of operating the cluster. Information may be shared only where needed for hosting, payments, fraud prevention, moderation, technical support, legal compliance, Discord services, vote services, store delivery, or backend operation.

4.3 Regional Limits

California rights apply only where the relevant California law applies to the service, player, information, and operator. Requests may be handled through official support channels.

5.1 EU, EEA, and UK Privacy Rights

Players located in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom may have privacy rights under applicable data protection laws.

These rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and the right to raise a complaint with a relevant data protection authority where applicable.

5.2 Processing Purposes

Lusty Looters may process player information for server operation, account linking, store delivery, vote rewards, support, moderation, security, abuse prevention, fraud prevention, and compliance with rules or legal obligations.

5.3 International Operation

Lusty Looters services may rely on third party platforms, hosting providers, Discord services, payment providers, vote websites, server tools, APIs, and backend systems that may operate in different regions.

6.1 Australian Consumer Law Notice

Nothing in these rules, terms, webstore conditions, refund terms, disclaimers, or service notices is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

Where the Australian Consumer Law applies, players may have rights known as consumer guarantees. These rights may apply to eligible products or services supplied to Australian consumers, including online transactions.

6.2 Refunds and Consumer Guarantees

A player is not automatically entitled to a change-of-mind refund after a correctly described digital item, reward, creature, currency, perk, or service has been correctly delivered. Refunds, replacements, or compensation may also be refused where a correctly delivered benefit is later lost, used, consumed, transferred, removed for a rule violation, affected by normal gameplay, or impacted by player error.

This does not limit any non-excludable right under applicable consumer protection law. A delivery failure, duplicate charge, incorrect delivery, major service problem, or verified server-side error will be reviewed and an appropriate remedy may include redelivery, correction, replacement, store credit, cancellation, or refund as required by law.

6.3 Digital Server Items

Webstore items, vote rewards, server currency, supporter perks, creatures, saddles, blueprints, kits, and other digital benefits are provided for use only within the Lusty Looters cluster.

They do not represent real-world currency, cash deposits, investment products, stored-value accounts, or ownership rights outside the Lusty Looters servers.

6.4 Accurate Listings and Corrections

Lusty Looters aims to describe prices, products, rewards, perks, rates, eligible servers, commands, and delivery requirements accurately. Obvious listing, pricing, or technical errors may be corrected. A material correction affecting an existing paid order will be handled under Section VII rather than used to retrospectively remove a customer’s non-excludable rights.

No server, item, perk, reward, rate, command, or feature is guaranteed to remain available permanently, but material paid benefits will be handled fairly if they become unavailable.

6.5 Australian Privacy Notice

Where Australian privacy laws apply, Lusty Looters will handle personal information in line with applicable privacy obligations and the Privacy Notice in Section II.

6.6 Australian Spam and Marketing Notice

Marketing or promotional electronic messages should only be sent where consent exists or where otherwise permitted by law. Commercial electronic messages should identify the sender and provide a functional unsubscribe method where required.

6.7 Jurisdiction and Regional Rights

Players may have different legal rights depending on where they live. Nothing in this Legal Notice removes rights that cannot legally be removed under Australian or other applicable consumer, privacy, or digital service laws.

7.1 Payment Providers

Payments may be handled through Stripe or another third party payment provider. Lusty Looters does not require players to provide payment card details directly to server staff through Discord or in game.

Transaction, subscription, invoice, and delivery records may be used to verify purchases, deliver rewards, investigate failed delivery, prevent fraud, resolve support issues, and enforce webstore rules.

7.2 Refund Terms

Change-of-mind refunds are not guaranteed after correct digital delivery. Delivery failures, duplicate charges, incorrect deliveries, and verified service errors will be reviewed for an appropriate remedy. Nothing in this section limits a right that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7.3 Chargebacks and Payment Abuse

A legitimate payment inquiry, billing-error report, or chargeback is not automatically treated as fraud. Players are encouraged to contact official support first where practical so a delivery or billing issue can be investigated promptly, but this does not remove any legal right to dispute a transaction.

Intentionally false claims, unauthorised use of another person’s payment method, repeated abusive disputes, or deliberate misuse of store systems may result in a proportionate restriction, removal of unpaid or reversed benefits, store action, Discord action, or server action. Restrictions may be reviewed while a genuine payment dispute is investigated.

7.4 Reasonable Changes to Paid Benefits

Paid items, currency, perks, or services may be reasonably adjusted where necessary for balance, abuse prevention, technical compatibility, rule enforcement, server health, or legal compliance. Changes should be proportionate and should not retrospectively remove the essential value of a completed purchase without an appropriate remedy where one is required.

If a material paid benefit can no longer be provided, available outcomes may include delivery elsewhere in the eligible cluster, correction, a reasonably equivalent replacement, store credit, cancellation, a partial remedy, or refund where appropriate or required by law.

7.5 Server-Specific Perk Eligibility

Supporter ranks, store rewards, digital items, commands, delivery systems, discounts, recovery access, decay benefits, chat effects, and other digital benefits may only be available on eligible Lusty Looters servers.

Some servers may have supporter perks, store items, commands, rewards, or rank benefits disabled, limited, delayed, replaced, or unavailable for balance, progression, event rules, testing, technical limitations, rule enforcement, server health, economy protection, or abuse prevention. This may include event, test, progression, restricted, newly released, temporary, or limited-support servers.

Where practical, eligibility and restrictions will be shown on the relevant store page, product page, supporter rank page, or service notice before purchase. A verified restriction or delivery problem will be handled under Sections 7.2 and 7.4.

7.6 Subscriptions and Automatic Renewal

A product identified as a monthly supporter subscription renews automatically at the price and interval shown at checkout until cancelled. Successful renewal may extend time-based perks and create a new monthly reward entitlement. The linked Discord and EOS accounts must remain accurate so benefits can be applied.

7.7 Subscription Cancellation

Subscriptions may be managed or cancelled through the Lusty Looters subscription page and the payment provider’s billing portal. Unless otherwise stated at cancellation, cancellation stops future renewals and existing supporter access remains active until the end of the current paid billing period. Cancellation does not automatically refund a completed billing period.

7.8 Failed Subscription Payments

If a renewal payment fails, the payment provider may retry the payment in line with its disclosed billing process. Supporter access may be marked past due, suspended, or removed if payment is not completed. Access may be restored after a successful payment where the subscription remains eligible.

7.9 Subscription Price Changes

Reasonable advance notice will be given before a changed subscription price is charged at a future renewal. Players may cancel before that renewal. Price changes do not retrospectively alter a completed billing period.

7.10 Delivery, Verification, and Recording

Automatic delivery may require the correct linked account, character, eligible server, available inventory space, and the player to be online. Players should confirm the selected server and delivery details before submitting an order.

Players are strongly encouraged to record item and reward deliveries. Where possible, begin recording before confirming delivery, show the selected server and character, keep the relevant inventory visible, and continue until the delivered contents have been checked. The recording should not expose payment details, login credentials, private messages, or other unnecessary personal information.

A recording can help resolve a missing, incomplete, duplicate, or incorrect delivery, but it is not the only accepted evidence. Failure to record does not automatically invalidate a genuine claim or remove any non-excludable legal right. Store, command, delivery, inventory, and server logs may also be reviewed.

7.11 Currency, Price, and Taxes

The applicable price, billing interval, currency, and any taxes or charges collected by the payment provider will be shown at or before checkout. Gold Nuggets, rewards, and other server currency have no cash value and are not redeemable for money.

7.12 Extended Downtime and Permanent Closure

During announced extended downtime, new purchases or subscription renewals may be paused, restricted, or cancelled where practical. Temporary equipment hosting or relocation does not itself end existing accounts or rights.

If Lusty Looters permanently closes or a material paid service becomes unavailable for an extended period, future recurring payments will be stopped as soon as reasonably practical and any remedy for an unused paid period will be assessed under the product terms and applicable law.

8.1 Logs and Moderation Data

Lusty Looters may use server logs, admin logs, Discord logs, website records, vote records, store records, delivery records, screenshots, clips, player reports, and backend tracking tools to investigate support issues, fraud, abuse, technical problems, or rule violations.

Moderation and enforcement decisions may be based on available logs and staff review. Internal logs may be considered alongside recordings and other evidence, but no clause makes a record legally conclusive where applicable law provides otherwise.

8.2 Third Party Services

Lusty Looters may rely on third party services such as Discord, Cloudflare, hosting providers, payment processors, ARK server tools, vote websites, mods, APIs, and platform services.

Lusty Looters cannot control outages, errors, bans, restrictions, delays, or data issues caused solely by those services. If a third party failure prevents delivery of a material paid benefit, the order will still be reviewed under Section VII and any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded continue to apply.

8.3 Temporary Infrastructure Hosting

Lusty Looters may temporarily operate equipment or services from third party premises or through third party infrastructure, including during the announced interstate relocation. A person who provides hosting space, connectivity, equipment access, or technical assistance does not become responsible for Lusty Looters purchases, subscriptions, moderation decisions, privacy requests, or community operations solely because of that assistance.

Infrastructure locations, private residential addresses, and unrelated personal details are not published through this notice. Official requests must be directed to Lusty Looters support.

9.1 No Warranty

Lusty Looters services are provided as is and as available. No guarantee is made that the servers, website, Discord, store, vote systems, reward systems, player linking, or backend services will always be online, secure, uninterrupted, error free, or free from data loss. This clause operates only to the extent permitted by law.

9.2 Gameplay Loss Disclaimer

Lusty Looters is not automatically responsible for loss of characters, tames, structures, items, currency, progress, rewards, purchases, blueprints, saddles, tribe ownership, or access caused by normal gameplay, ARK bugs, crashes, rollbacks, mods, decay, tribe settings, server restarts, connection issues, player error, exploits, or third party service issues.

A verified server-side error, failed delivery, or administrative error may be reviewed for an appropriate remedy. Nothing in this section excludes liability or a remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

9.3 Material Rule, Service, and Term Changes

Rules, prices, rewards, perks, webstore items, vote rewards, server settings, rates, maps, mods, commands, and services may be updated where reasonably needed. Material changes affecting subscriptions, payments, privacy, or existing paid benefits will be communicated with reasonable notice where practical and will apply prospectively unless an urgent legal, security, abuse, or technical issue requires faster action.

Continued use after notice may indicate acceptance for future use, but an update does not retrospectively remove rights connected with a completed transaction or any non-excludable right.

9.4 Final Management Authority

Server management reserves the right to interpret and enforce community and gameplay rules where reasonably needed to protect the cluster, community, economy, performance, safety, or services.

Internal moderation and access decisions may be final within the Lusty Looters appeal process. This does not make management the final decision-maker over statutory consumer rights, payment-provider investigations, privacy regulators, courts, or other external rights and processes.

9.5 Governing Law

These terms are governed by applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Australia. Until the announced relocation is complete, relevant State or Territory laws apply according to the operator’s actual principal location. Once principal operations relocate to Victoria, these terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia, subject always to mandatory rights available under another applicable law.

9.6 Dispute Resolution

Players should submit service, delivery, billing, privacy, or moderation concerns through official support and provide available details such as the account, order reference, server, time, and supporting evidence. An internal review or appeal may be requested where available.

Using support first does not prevent a player from exercising a legal right, contacting a payment provider or regulator, or commencing an external process where permitted.

9.7 Severability and No Waiver

If part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining parts continue to operate to the extent possible. A delay or decision not to enforce a term on one occasion does not permanently waive the ability to apply it fairly in another case.

9.8 Order of Terms

A specific product listing or checkout disclosure controls the particular price, contents, duration, eligibility, and billing interval of that product. This Legal Notice controls general legal, privacy, payment, and service matters. The cluster rules control gameplay and community conduct. These documents should be read together and interpreted consistently with non-excludable law.

9.9 Notices and Support

Material notices may be published on the website, store, account page, or official Discord and may also be sent through an available account contact method. Purchase, subscription, privacy, and legal questions must be directed to official Lusty Looters support.
