Last Updated: November 10, 2025

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using IdleMine's services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. This agreement is made between you and Gabriel Martinez, the owner and operator of IdleMine.

Service Owner:
Gabriel Martinez (martinez@idlemine.net)

2. Service Description

IdleMine provides 24/7 Minecraft chunk loading services ("the Service") that allow users to keep their Minecraft chunks loaded continuously without needing to keep their personal computers running.

The Service is managed through Discord commands and requires Microsoft account authentication for Minecraft access.

3. Infrastructure and Security

Hosting and technical infrastructure for IdleMine is provided by Coflnet GmbH ("the Contractor"), which operates servers in datacenters certified by DIN ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Your Minecraft account information is stored and accessible only on these secure, certified servers. All data transmissions are encrypted and handled according to industry best practices.

Coflnet GmbH acts solely as a technical contractor and is not party to the contractual agreement between you and Gabriel Martinez.

4. Payment Terms

IdleMine charges a subscription fee of $3.00 USD per month. All payments are processed securely through Patreon.

By subscribing, you authorize recurring monthly charges to your payment method on file with Patreon until you cancel your subscription.

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your Patreon account. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.

No refunds will be provided for partial months of service or early cancellation.

5. User Responsibilities

You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and complete information when creating your account

You retain full ownership of your Microsoft and Minecraft accounts. IdleMine will never share your account credentials with third parties or use your account for any purpose other than providing the Service without your explicit consent.

7. Service Management via Discord

All service management, including starting, stopping, and configuring your IdleMine bot, is performed through Discord commands in our official Discord server.

You must maintain an active Discord account in good standing and remain a member of the IdleMine Discord server to use the Service. Removal from the Discord server may result in loss of access to service management features.

8. Termination and Suspension

IdleMine withholds the right to terminate without refund the service to users who perform illegal activities using any service(s) provided by IdleMine to the user.

  • Harassment of other users or IdleMine staff
  • Any activity that endangers the security or integrity of our systems

You may terminate your account at any time by canceling your Patreon subscription and requesting account deletion through our Discord server.

Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease, and any data associated with your account may be deleted.

9. Service Availability and Limitations

While we strive to provide 24/7 service availability, IdleMine does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to:
