Any decision you make based on information published here — including installing, configuring, or modifying game files — is made at your own risk.

Accessing a linked site is entirely at your own risk, and you should review that site’s own terms before using it.

Any dealings you have with a third party found via the Site are solely between you and that third party.

10.User-submitted content

If the Site offers comments, submissions, feedback forms, or any other means of contributing content, you remain responsible for what you submit.

By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, edit, display, and publish that content on the Site. We may remove, edit, or decline to publish any submission at our discretion and without notice. We do not routinely pre-screen submissions and do not endorse the views expressed in them.

11.Advertising and affiliate disclosure

The Site may display advertising, sponsored placements, or affiliate links. Where an affiliate link is used, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Advertising does not influence our editorial coverage, and the presence of an advertisement or affiliate link should not be read as an endorsement of the advertiser’s products or claims.

The Site and all content on it are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
