Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of LordScanner at lordscanner.com, operated by Michael Ketzer in Germany. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms. Your purchase from Paddle is also governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms.

1. What LordScanner provides

LordScanner reads the public in-game kingdom map of Top Lords and displays castle names, alliance tags, castle levels, coordinates, shield state and home kingdoms. The Lords table and kingdom map offer search, filters and one-click coordinate copying. Scans cover any Top Lords kingdom. A kingdom can be temporarily unavailable for scans.

Scans run on demand. A live map means that results update as a scan arrives; it does not mean continuous background monitoring. Scan times depend on the game and service load, and a scan can fail. Shield timers are unverified where labelled. Always check the game before acting on a result.

Features marked “soon” (such as Bounty Tasks, Trade Wagons and mines) are not part of any plan until they ship. Sovereign includes early access to new map objects when they ship; it does not promise a date.

2. Your account

Sign in using your email address and a one-time code; no game login or password is required. Use an email address you control, protect your mailbox and sign out on shared devices. You are responsible for activity through your account. Do not share paid access or impersonate another person. You must be legally able to enter into this agreement.

3. Plans and access

• Envoy: €9.99 per month, with up to 15 new scans per UTC day within the shared safeguards below, for any Top Lords kingdom.
• Marshal: €19.99 per month, with up to 50 new scans per UTC day within the shared safeguards below, for any Top Lords kingdom; everything in Envoy.
• Sovereign: €39.99 per month, with up to 150 new scans per UTC day within the shared safeguards below, for any Top Lords kingdom; everything in Marshal, plus early access to new map objects when they ship.

Each available paid plan includes castle rows, coordinates, shield state, invaders, the kingdom map, filters and search. A free account provides the app shell and kingdom summary counts, without castle rows, coordinates or scans. The current offer is shown on Pricing.

Fair use

All paid access is subject to shared scan safeguards: a 5-minute cooldown and 48 new scans per kingdom per UTC day, plus a service-wide cap of 600 new scans per UTC day across kingdoms. These limits count every user's scans together, so when one is reached no new scans start until it resets, even if your plan's daily allowance is not used up; a plan's allowance is a maximum, not a guaranteed number of scans. Joining a running scan or reusing a fresh scan does not use your daily allowance. Do not bypass limits, scrape or redistribute castle data in bulk, resell access, attack the service, or use it for harassment or unlawful purposes.

4. Payments and renewal

Prices are in EUR and include VAT where applicable. Paddle displays the final amount and payment terms before purchase, collects payment and issues receipts and invoices. We do not receive your full card details. Paddle's Buyer Terms apply to checkout, payments and the buyer relationship with Paddle.

Envoy, Marshal and Sovereign renew monthly at the amount disclosed at checkout until cancelled. Paid access depends on payment confirmation. If payment fails, access may be restricted while the billing issue is resolved.

Cancellation and changes

Cancel anytime through Account billing, the Paddle buyer portal, or by emailing support@lordscanner.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period: you retain access until then and are not charged for a new period. Cancelling does not itself delete your account. Any price change will be communicated before it applies, with any notice or consent required by law; you can cancel before renewal.

Refunds

Every subscription has a 14-day money-back guarantee on its first payment. Request a full refund within 14 days of that first payment, even if you have started using the service. Monthly renewals are not covered; cancel before the next renewal to avoid a new charge. See the Refund Policy. Your statutory consumer rights remain unaffected.

5. Game data and privacy

Map data can relate to players who do not have a LordScanner account. We show only the map information described above, and do not ask for private game credentials or act in the game for you. Players can request removal by email, as described on Opt-out; requests are handled by hand. The Privacy Policy explains processing, retention and rights.

6. Ownership and third-party services

LordScanner (lordscanner.com) is fan-built and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected with Top Lords or GAME SPARK PTE. LTD. Game names and assets belong to their respective owners. Your purchase provides access to LordScanner, not ownership of the game or its data. LordScanner's software, original design and content remain the property of their owners; use them only for the access granted by these terms.

We depend on the game's public map and third-party providers. Game updates or restrictions can affect coverage and availability. You remain responsible for complying with the game's terms. Paddle provides purchases, Letterpier delivers sign-in email, Vercel hosts the website, Neon hosts the database, and we run the scanning service ourselves.

7. Availability and liability

We work to provide a reliable service, but cannot promise uninterrupted access, complete map coverage, or that a past scan still reflects the current game. We may pause scans for maintenance, safety or upstream failures. Contact us about a paid service problem so we can investigate and provide an appropriate remedy.

We remain liable as required by law, including for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, and mandatory consumer protections. For slightly negligent breaches of essential contractual obligations, liability is limited to foreseeable loss typical of this contract. No provision excludes rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Suspension and termination

We may restrict access for material misuse, fraud, security threats or non-payment. Where practicable, we explain the reason and allow you to resolve it. Urgent protective action may be immediate. You can stop using the service and request account deletion by email; cancelling a subscription separately prevents renewal. Termination does not remove any refund or other rights you already have.

9. Applicable law and updates

German law applies, without depriving consumers of mandatory protections in their country of habitual residence. These terms do not impose an exclusive court on consumers. If a provision is invalid, the remaining terms continue to apply. We will communicate material changes; changes do not retrospectively remove rights attached to your purchase.
