Terms of use
The terms for using valab: what an account allows, what it costs, and the fact that this is an independent project with no connection to Riot Games.
What valab is
A service that reads Valorant replay files you upload and presents them as browser playback and statistics. It is provided as it is, without a guarantee that any particular match will process successfully. Replay formats change with game patches, and a match from a build that has not been verified may not read correctly.
Your account
One person per account. You are responsible for what is uploaded through it, and for keeping your sign-in details to yourself. You may connect Discord or Google as a way in, and disconnect them again, except where doing so would leave the account with no way to sign in at all.
What you may upload
Valorant replay files. That is the entire supported input. Do not use the upload as general file storage, and do not attempt to upload files designed to break the reader.
Uploading a replay you took part in is the normal case. If you upload a replay somebody else gave you, that is between you and them; you are asserting you are entitled to have it.
What it costs
Nothing. valab is free, and the pricing page describes what that includes. There is no plan to buy, no card to give and nothing to cancel.
An account has a hard daily upload allowance rather than a bill: ten replays a day once the email address on it is confirmed, one a day before that. Reaching the allowance stops further uploads until the oldest ages out; it can never turn into a charge.
If something goes genuinely wrong, email contact@valab.gg and it will be dealt with sensibly rather than by policy recital.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to access other accounts or their matches, scrape the service, or use it to harass anyone. Scouting reports about other players are for preparing against them in a game, and are visible only to you.
Availability
This is a small independent service. It aims to stay up and generally does, but there is no uptime guarantee, and processing time depends on how busy the queue is.
Relationship to Riot Games
valab is not endorsed by Riot Games and does not reflect the views of Riot Games or anyone officially involved in producing or managing Riot Games properties. Riot Games and VALORANT are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. valab reads a file the game wrote to your own disk; it does not modify the game, does not run alongside it, and does not interact with the Valorant client in any way.
Changes
Material changes will be noted in the changelog with the date.
