When you authorize Discord account linking, you grant AeThex permission to: access your Discord profile information, manage verification codes, and assign Discord roles based on your AeThex realm.

Discord services are governed by Discord's Terms of Service in addition to these Terms.

Web3 & Wallet Authentication

When you connect a Web3 wallet (Ethereum, MetaMask, etc.), you authorize AeThex to verify your wallet ownership through message signing. You acknowledge that: message signing is read-only and does not authorize any fund transfers, wallet address is public blockchain data, and you remain fully responsible for wallet security and management. AeThex does not store or handle wallet private keys or funds.

When you link your Roblox account via OAuth, you grant AeThex permission to access your Roblox profile information and game development data. Your use of Roblox services through AeThex is subject to Roblox's Terms of Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Roblox account credentials and can unlink your Roblox account at any time.

Revoking access may limit certain AeThex features that depend on that integration.
