Terms of Service
Last updated September 27, 2026
Beacon is a free, independent project for finding people to play games with. By using Beacon, you agree to these terms. They're written to be readable, so please give them a skim.
Who can use Beacon
You need to be at least 13, and old enough to use Discord where you live, since Beacon uses Discord to log in. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
Be decent
When posting, applying, tagging, or sharing invites, don't:
- Use slurs, hate speech, or harass anyone.
- Post anything sexual, violent, or illegal.
- Share scams, malware, or misleading links.
- Spam, or post fake groups.
- Pretend to be someone else, including streamers or creators.
- Try to break, overload, or get around Beacon's security or limits.
Beacon may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules, at its discretion, with or without warning.
Your content
What you post stays yours. By posting it, you let Beacon display it on the site so the service works, like showing your post on Explore or your note to a host. Hosts are responsible for the Discord invites and join info they share.
Playing with people you meet here
Beacon helps you find people, but it doesn't know them and can't vouch for them. Use your own judgment: don't share personal info you wouldn't want a stranger to have, and use Discord's blocking and reporting tools if someone gives you trouble. Beacon isn't responsible for what happens in games, calls, or servers outside the site.
Other services
Beacon connects with Discord, Steam, and IGDB (by Twitch). Using those parts of Beacon also means following their own terms. Beacon isn't affiliated with or endorsed by Discord, Valve, Twitch, or any game publisher. Game names and cover art come from IGDB.
No guarantees
Beacon is a free hobby project provided as is. It may have bugs, go down, change, or shut down at any time. To the fullest extent the law allows, Beacon and the person who runs it aren't liable for any damages from using it.
Leaving
You can stop using Beacon anytime. To have your account and data deleted, email support@beacon-lfg.com.
Changes and law
These terms may be updated, and the date at the top will change when they are. Continuing to use Beacon after an update means you accept it. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA.
