RUSTMATCH

Terms of Service

Last updated: 29 October 2026

These terms govern your use of RustMatch (the "Service"), on the website and in the RustMatch apps for iPhone and Android. RustMatch is run by Logan Murphy from Scotland, United Kingdom ("we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Eligibility

You must be 16 or over to use RustMatch. If you are under 16, you may not create an account or use the Service. By using the Service you confirm that you are 16 or over and that the information you give, including your age group, is accurate.

To protect younger players, people aged 16 and 17 are never shown to people aged 30 and over, and the other way round. Once you set your age group it can only move up. Read more in our Child Safety Standards.

Your account

You are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for activity on your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use. You may have only one account, and you must not impersonate anyone else.

Acceptable use

RustMatch is for finding teammates for the game Rust. You agree not to:

• harass, threaten, bully, or abuse other users;
• post or send content that is illegal, hateful, sexually explicit, or harmful;
• share other people's private information, or your own contact or payment details with strangers;
• spam, scam, advertise, or solicit money or goods;
• use the Service to groom, exploit, or endanger anyone, particularly minors;
• attempt to disrupt, hack, scrape, or reverse engineer the Service.

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that breach these rules.

Zero tolerance

RustMatch has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. This includes harassment, threats, hate, sexual content, scams, and anything that puts a child at risk.

• Usernames, bios, clan names and messages are filtered, and text with banned words is blocked.
• You can report or block any player, and report any clan, from inside RustMatch.
• We review every report within 24 hours.
• We remove content that breaks these terms, and the people who post it are removed and banned from RustMatch.

Your content

You keep ownership of the content you post (your bio, photos, and messages). You grant us a licence to host and display that content as needed to run the Service. You are responsible for the content you post and confirm you have the right to share it.

Matching and safety

RustMatch helps you find other players, but we do not verify users' identities and we do not guarantee any match, conversation, or outcome. You interact with other users at your own risk. Never share personal, financial, or contact information with people you do not trust, and report anyone who breaks these terms.

Subscriptions and payments

• RustMatch offers a free tier and two paid monthly subscriptions: Basic and Pro. Current prices are shown before you buy. Pro's first month is half price for new subscribers.
• Lifetime is no longer sold. Players who already have it keep Pro for life, with no renewals.
• We may change prices or plans. We will give reasonable notice of changes that affect an active subscription.

Buying in the iPhone or Android app

• Purchases in the app are billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) to the account you use with that store, when you confirm the purchase.
• Basic and Pro renew every month until you cancel. They renew automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your store account is charged for the next month within the 24 hours before it ends.
• Manage or cancel in your device settings. iPhone: Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions. Android: Google Play, tap your profile picture, then Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions. After you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds for app purchases are handled by the store under its own policy. Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com. Google Play: Google Play refund help.
• Deleting the app or your RustMatch account does not cancel a store subscription. Cancel it in the store too.
• If you got RustMatch from the Apple App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to your use of the app, alongside these terms.

Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your account if you breach these terms or if we need to for legal or safety reasons. A suspended account cannot send or read messages and is hidden from other players.

You may delete your account at any time from Settings in the app or on the website. Your profile is hidden straight away and permanently deleted within 30 days. See how to delete your account.

Disclaimers and liability

The Service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and are not liable for losses that are not reasonably foreseeable or that arise from your misuse of the Service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Not affiliated with Facepunch

RustMatch is an independent, unofficial fan-made service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Facepunch Studios. Rust is a game by Facepunch Studios, and the name is used only to say which game RustMatch is for.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will post the updated version here and update the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service means you accept the updated terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Scotland, and disputes are subject to the courts of Scotland.
