Our Core Objective: Level Up Together
Founded by Ryvel Durnhaven, HCD Esports is a space designed to help all players—rookies, casuals, and hardcore grinders alike—advance their knowledge of the competitive gaming ecosystem. Our content, drawn from a mix of analytical expertise and enthusiastic exploration, includes insights on gaming fundamentals, esports team tactics, gear evaluations, and high-level optimization. These Terms of Use make sure everyone in this expanding digital arena thrives safely, respectfully, and smartly. So let’s hit “ready up” and dive in.
Who Can Join the Game?
If you’ve got a passion for gaming and a desire to level up, then you’re in the right place. HCD Esports opens its digital doors to all players globally from our base of operations at 4687 Wetzel Lane, Petoskey, Michigan 49770, USA, operating weekdays from 9 AM to 5 PM. Regardless of whether you’re browsing from a mobile rig or hunkered down at your battlestation, your visit affirms your understanding and acceptance of these Terms of Use.
1. Respect the Arena: Community Behavior Guidelines
We’re a community built on collaboration and improvement. Trash talk on the battlefield is one thing—but toxic behavior, harassment, aggressive trolling, and fake content are AFK from our values. Be honest, be kind, and keep interactions on HCD Esports intellectually charged and creatively constructive. Neglecting these standards may result in warnings, comment removals, suspensions—or, worst case, bans. We uphold these values as fiercely as we track game stats.
2. Our Content = Our Strategy Guide
All the deep-dive tutorials, gear reviews, strategy analyses, and performance tips on HCD Esports are curated, created, and reviewed by our team. They are protected under copyright laws and belong to HCD Esports unless otherwise noted. You’re welcome to use our content for personal inspiration and idea-building, but direct republishing, altering, or commercial use of our content without explicit permission is a no-go.
3. Sharing Your Knowledge
If you share an idea, comment, article feedback, or send in your own analysis to us for potential collaboration, you’re agreeing that we may use, repurpose, edit, or publish those submissions under our editorial standards. You still retain ownership—but you’re granting us a non-exclusive license to make your genius part of a public-level-up journey.
4. Your Info Is Safe with Us
Just like protecting your in-game loadout is crucial, keeping your personal data secure is something we take seriously. Any information you provide—whether through comments, newsletter sign-ups, or contact forms—is collected and managed in accordance with our site’s privacy and data use principles. More details on this will be provided soon in our formal Privacy Policy.
5. Just Browsing? We’ve Got You
Even if you’re casually scrolling through pro team data breakdowns or reading about how to squeeze extra FPS from your GPU setup, you’re still expected to adhere to community guidelines. These conditions aren’t just for our forum posters or subscribers—they’re for every visitor. If you’re clicking or scrolling through anything at HCD Esports, these terms apply to you.
6. Accessibility and Browsing Comfort
Our web design aims to be user-friendly on PCs, laptops, tablets, and mobile devices. We know every millisecond and click counts, especially when you’re deep-diving into DPS curves or primary weapon evaluations! If any part of our site isn’t rendering correctly, or if you spot issues that might affect usability or accessibility, please reach out to us. Your feedback helps us optimize the experience for future users.
7. Outside Links and Other Worlds
Sometimes we’ll link you to external content sources—think of them as side quests offering expanded lore or supplemental strategy. That said, HCD Esports doesn’t control those external sites or their policies. We offer those links for informational value, not as endorsements. Proceed thoughtfully and review their Terms of Use or privacy practices, especially before submitting personal data or downloading anything.
8. Updates to the Game Plan
Game patches happen, and so do policy tweaks. We may update these Terms of Use without direct notice, though we’ll always post changes right here. It’s your responsibility to review this page occasionally, especially if you’re a frequent reader or contributor. Changes go into effect as soon as they’re live. Continuing to use the site means you’re cool with the latest version.
9. No Exploits, Glitches, or Circumvention
Tampering with our website’s code, bypassing security checks, attempting to mine data, or attacking server infrastructure is not just against our terms—it’s potentially illegal. We value fair play both in-game and online. Any such actions will be investigated, and legal action may follow as appropriate.
10. Legal Zone: Where Everything Anchors
These Terms of Use follow the local laws of the State of Michigan, United States. If any disagreements arise that call for legal interpretation, that’ll happen in the courts nearest to Petoskey, Michigan. We believe in resolving issues respectfully—but we have safeguards in place should more formal resolution be required.
11. Reaching the Admin Console (aka Contacting Us)
If anything’s unclear, you sense a glitch in the matrix, or have a question about how something works here on HCD Esports—reach out! You can email us at [email protected], or call us directly during office hours (9 AM to 5 PM, EST) at +1 231-347-4570.
