Dota Cues — Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-05-06

Welcome to Dota Cues, an audio event timer for Dota 2 distributed as an Overwolf Native app. These terms (“Terms”) govern your use of the app. By installing or using Dota Cues, you agree to these Terms.

License to use

Dota Cues is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial use. You may install, use, and uninstall the app freely. You may not:

Redistribute modified versions of the app under the Dota Cues name
Misrepresent authorship of the app or its source code
Resell or charge others for access to the app

The app’s source code may be subject to a separate open-source license; where it is, that license takes precedence over these Terms for the covered code.

“As is” provision

The app is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Audio cues are informational and are based on Overwolf’s GEP feed plus published Dota 2 in-game timing data. Cues may occasionally fire incorrectly, fail to fire, or be delayed due to factors outside the app’s control, including:

Overwolf platform issues or outages
Dota 2 patches that change in-game timings (we update the app on a best-effort basis when patches affect the timing tables)
Network or system latency
Edge cases in the underlying game-event data

You use the app at your own risk. Dota Cues is not a substitute for attentive gameplay.

Game compliance and fair play

Dota Cues does not modify Dota 2, does not interact with the Dota 2 client beyond reading public game state via Overwolf’s official Game Events Provider API, and does not provide an unfair advantage in competitive play. The app’s function is equivalent to a player using a stopwatch alongside the game, with all decisions made by the player.

If Valve, Overwolf, or another relevant authority indicates that the app’s behavior is non-compliant, we will modify or discontinue the relevant functionality.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the developers of Dota Cues are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the app — including but not limited to lost matches, MMR changes, hardware issues, or third-party platform disruptions.

Discontinuation and changes

We may modify, update, or discontinue the app or any of its features at any time, with or without notice. Your installed copy will continue to function as-is unless explicitly removed. Substantive changes to these Terms will be reflected in the app’s release notes.

Governing law

These Terms are interpreted under the laws of the jurisdiction in which the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.
