Effective August 27, 2026.
These terms are the agreement between you and the operator of ClusterHack (“ClusterHack”, “we”, “us”) for the website at clusterhack.dev, its API and its MCP server. By creating an account or using the service you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
Note. ClusterHack is operated by an individual operator; a registered company is not yet in place. This document will be reissued in the company's name once it is, and the change will be announced under “Changes to these terms”.
The service is provided by the operator of ClusterHack. These terms are governed by the law of the State of Wyoming, United States, as set out in section 16. Nothing here removes rights you have under the mandatory law of the place you live.
You must be at least 13 years old to have an account. If you are under 18, you may use ClusterHack only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, and that adult accepts these terms with you.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, write to info@clusterhack.pw and we will delete the account and its data.
Individual hackathons may set their own, higher age limit. That limit is set by the organizer of that event, not by us.
You agree not to:
We may remove content or restrict an account that breaks these rules. Where the matter is serious or reoccurring, we may close the account.
Your projects, profile text, team pages, posts, images and files stay yours. We claim no ownership of them.
To run the service we need permission to use them for that purpose. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, adapt for display (for example resizing an image) and publish your content, solely in order to operate and promote ClusterHack. This licence lasts while your content is on the service and ends a reasonable time after you delete it, except for backup copies and anything the law requires us to keep.
Some things are public by design. Submitted projects appear in the public showcase, published results and winners are public, and public team and profile pages are visible to anyone. Do not put confidential material, secrets or credentials in them.
You confirm you have the rights to everything you upload, and that publishing it will not break anyone else's rights or an agreement you are under (such as an employment or university IP policy).
ClusterHack is the platform. Individual hackathons are run by their organizers, not by us. The organizer of an event decides its rules, its eligibility criteria, its schedule, its judging criteria and its prizes, and is responsible for delivering what they promise.
When you join an event you also accept that event's own rules, and the organizer and their event administrators can see the participant information described in the Privacy Policy — including your name, contact details and your submissions.
We are not a party to any agreement between you and an organizer, or between you and a sponsor. We do not guarantee that an event will take place, that it will run as advertised, or that a prize will be awarded or paid.
If you are an organizer, you additionally agree that: you will honour the rules and prizes you publish; you are the controller of the participant data you collect through your event and will handle it lawfully and only for running that event; and you will not use it for unrelated marketing.
Scores are given by judges chosen by the organizer. Judging is a matter of opinion and we do not review, moderate or overturn it. Results become visible when the organizer publishes them.
Prizes are provided and paid by the organizer or their sponsors. Any tax on a prize is the winner's own responsibility.
You can connect third-party applications — including AI assistants — to your account through our MCP server using OAuth. If you do:
We log MCP calls for security and abuse investigation, as described in the Privacy Policy.
Some features use large language models to draft plans, suggest ideas or summarise. To provide them, the relevant text is sent to a third-party model provider (see the Privacy Policy for who).
AI output can be wrong, incomplete or unsuitable. Check it before relying on it. It is not professional advice, and decisions you make on the strength of it remain yours.
Some capabilities require a paid plan. Prices and what each plan includes are shown at the point of purchase. Subscriptions renew for the same period until cancelled, and cancelling stops the next renewal — it does not shorten the period you have already paid for.
Except where the law requires otherwise, payments already made are non-refundable. If we materially reduce what a paid plan includes during a period you have paid for, write to us and we will refund the unused part.
The service itself — the software, design, name and logo — belongs to us or our licensors. These terms do not transfer any of it to you. You may not copy the service, resell access to it, or use our name or logo to suggest we endorse you without written permission.
If you send us suggestions, we may use them freely and without owing you anything.
You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, that creates legal risk for us or other users, or that is being used to harm the service.
Where circumstances reasonably allow, we will say why and give you a chance to put it right first. Sections 5, 11, 13, 14, 15 and 16 survive termination.
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of anything you cannot afford to lose.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities or lost goodwill, even if we were told such damages were possible.
Our total liability arising out of or relating to the service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US $100.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You will defend and indemnify us against claims, damages and reasonable legal costs arising from your content, your use of the service, your breach of these terms, or — if you are an organizer — from an event you ran.
These terms are governed by the law of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue — except that either of us may seek injunctive relief in any court that has jurisdiction.
Before filing anything, please write to info@clusterhack.pw. Most problems are cheaper and faster to fix that way, and we will try in good faith to resolve it within 30 days.
No class actions. Claims must be brought individually, not as a plaintiff or class member in a class or representative action, to the extent the law permits that restriction.
If you live outside the United States, mandatory consumer-protection rules in your own country still apply to you, and nothing in this section removes them.
We may update these terms. If a change materially affects your rights, we will give notice on the site or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the service after that means you accept the new terms; if you do not, close your account.
