Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Parley, a Discord bot and companion website operated by Parley ("we", "us"). By inviting Parley to a Discord server, using its commands, or subscribing to Pro, you agree to these Terms on behalf of yourself and, where applicable, the server you administer.
The service
Parley relays messages posted in one Discord channel to one or more channels in a different language, translating them through a third-party AI (LLM) provider and reposting them under the original author’s name and avatar. Parley also supports glossary terms, tone instructions, and forum-channel mirroring, as described on our website.
Plans and billing
Parley is a paid service that begins with a free trial:
- 30-day trial — each server can use the trial once. You add a card when you set up your first translation route, and the trial starts at that moment with Pro-level limits (50 translation routes, 2,000 glossary entries, and 75 translations per hour). We remind you in Discord before it ends. On day 30 your card is charged for the first billing period of the plan you chose and the server becomes a Pro subscriber; if you cancel before then, you are not charged. Servers that were already using Parley when the trial was introduced receive a 30-day trial from launch day without needing a card, and translation stops when it ends unless they subscribe. Removing and re-adding the bot, or deleting your data, does not restart the trial.
- Pro — a paid subscription billed at US$9.99 per month or US$95.90 per year, processed through Stripe. Prices are shown in USD; at checkout, Stripe automatically converts the charge to your local currency and may add applicable taxes, so the amount on your card statement can differ from the USD price shown on our site.
Pro subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. You manage your subscription — including cancelling, switching between monthly and yearly billing, or updating payment details — through the /parley billing command in Discord, which opens Stripe’s secure Customer Portal. We never handle your card details directly.
Cancelling, grace period, and what happens to your data
If you cancel Pro, or a payment fails and is not resolved, your subscription stays active in full through the end of the period you already paid for. After that:
- You get a 7-day grace period during which your server keeps full Pro treatment while any payment issue can be sorted out.
- If the grace period ends without the subscription being restored, all translation in your server stops, but nothing is ever deleted: your routes, glossary entries, and settings are kept, you can still open the console and export your glossary, and translation resumes as soon as you pay.
- If you resubscribe, everything is unfrozen automatically and immediately, exactly as you left it.
- If you cancel during the trial, or the first payment at the end of the trial fails, there is no grace period: translation stops on the day the trial ends, and resumes as soon as a payment succeeds or you subscribe.
Refunds
Because service continues in full through the end of the period you have already paid for, we do not offer pro-rated or partial refunds for early cancellation. If you believe you were charged in error, contact us through the channels in the "Governing law and contact" section below and we will look into it.
No uptime guarantee
Parley depends on Discord’s platform and on third-party AI (LLM) providers being available and working correctly. We do our best to keep the service reliable, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability, translation accuracy, or that Discord or our upstream providers will always be up. Parley is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use Parley to: violate Discord’s Terms of Service or Community Guidelines; send illegal, abusive, or harassing content through the translation relay; attempt to overload, reverse-engineer, or disrupt the service; or use the bot’s webhook messages to impersonate someone in a way intended to deceive. Note that Discord always marks Parley’s messages with an APP tag, so full impersonation is not possible — but attempts to mislead using the translated messages are still against these Terms.
Termination
We may suspend or remove Parley’s access to a server, or terminate a Pro subscription, if we determine in good faith that these Terms have been violated, particularly in cases of abuse, non-payment, or attempts to circumvent fair-use limits. You may stop using Parley at any time by removing the bot from your server or cancelling your subscription.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change materially affects your rights or obligations, we will announce it through our official Discord support server before it takes effect. Continuing to use Parley after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law and contact
These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, consistent with the jurisdiction of the payment-processing entity used for Pro subscriptions. For questions about these Terms, reach us through:
