To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its operators disclaim liability for User Content created or submitted by third parties.

The Website respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same.
If you are a copyright owner, authorized representative, or otherwise legally entitled to act on behalf of a rights holder, and you believe that material available through the Website infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, you may submit a written infringement notice to the Website administrator.
Where applicable, such notice may be submitted in accordance with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) or equivalent copyright legislation applicable in the relevant jurisdiction.
To facilitate prompt review, an infringement notice should contain, to the extent applicable:
1. Identification of the copyrighted work or other protected material allegedly infringed, including sufficient information to identify the original work.
2. Identification of the allegedly infringing material, together with sufficient information to enable us to locate or identify the material on the Website, such as a URL or other specific location.

6. An accuracy and authority statement, confirming, where required by applicable law, that the information contained in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the relevant rights holder.
7. Your signature, whether physical or electronic, where required by applicable law.
In jurisdictions where a specific statutory notice-and-takedown procedure applies, notices should comply with the requirements of the applicable legislation.
Upon receipt of a sufficiently detailed and legally valid notice, the Website may review the allegedly infringing material and, where appropriate and legally required, remove or disable access to such material within a reasonable period of time.
Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as an admission that the Website is subject to the DMCA or to any particular statutory safe-harbor regime. The applicable legal framework shall be determined according to the relevant jurisdiction and circumstances.
Where applicable law provides a procedure for submitting a counter-notification or other response to an infringement claim, the Website may accept and process such response in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.
A counter-notification should identify the material concerned, provide sufficient contact information, explain the basis for disputing the infringement claim, and contain any declarations or statements required by applicable law.
The Website reserves the right to seek additional information or clarification where reasonably necessary to evaluate an infringement claim or counter-notification.
Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies available to copyright owners or other parties under applicable law.
Where applicable and appropriate, the Website may restrict or terminate access to accounts or services associated with users who are reasonably determined to be repeat infringers or who repeatedly submit content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights.
The Website reserves the right to take such action at its reasonable discretion and where permitted or required by applicable law.
The Website may contain links to websites, services, or resources operated by third parties.
Such links are provided for convenience or informational purposes only. The Website does not control and is not responsible for the content, availability, legality, accuracy, security, privacy practices, or activities of third-party websites.

This website and its associated services, content, databases, forums, and other materials (collectively, the “Website”) allows users to upload photographs and scans of video games, packaging, boxes, manuals, cartridges, discs, labels, and other physical game-related items. These images may be displayed publicly as part of our game catalogue and gallery.
You keep the rights to photographs you create and upload to the Website. Uploading a photograph does not transfer its ownership to the Website.
By uploading an image, you confirm that you took the photograph yourself or that you otherwise have the necessary rights or permission to upload it.
If you upload a photograph created by someone else without their permission or another valid right to use it, you are responsible for that upload.
Photographs of games and their packaging may naturally contain copyrighted artwork, characters, logos, trademarks, illustrations, product names, and other material belonging to game publishers, developers, artists, manufacturers, or other third parties.
These rights remain with their respective owners. Uploading or displaying a photograph does not give the uploader or the Website ownership of the material shown in it.
Images are used as part of the catalogue to document and identify games and physical releases. They may help users recognise game titles, editions, regions, product numbers, serial numbers, packaging variations, and other identifying details.
The Website does not intend the image gallery to replace or reproduce the original games or products represented by the images.
When you upload an image, you give the Website permission to store, process, and publicly display it as part of the Website's catalogue and related features.
This may include resizing images, creating thumbnails, indexing them, making backups, and other technical processing needed to operate the Website.
This permission does not transfer ownership of your image to the Website.
Images uploaded by users are made available on the Website as part of the public game catalogue. Their availability on the Website does not give third parties permission to copy, reuse, redistribute, publish, or include those images in other projects, websites, products, or services.
Where a third party wishes to use an uploaded photograph outside the Website, they should obtain permission directly from the photograph's author or other relevant rights holder.
The Website does not grant third parties a licence to use user-uploaded photographs beyond viewing and using the Website and its catalogue as intended.
You can ask us to remove an image you have uploaded. We may also remove or restrict an image if we receive a valid copyright complaint, believe that it violates this Policy or our Terms of Use, or are otherwise required to do so.
If you believe an image on the Website infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact the Website administrator using the official contact information provided on the Website and provide enough information for us to identify the image and understand your claim.
Please only upload images that you are entitled to upload.
By contributing an image, you are responsible for ensuring that your upload does not knowingly infringe another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, or other rights.

The Data may contain or refer to names, logos, trademarks, registered trademarks, service marks, product names, company names, images, text, or other material that is owned by or subject to rights of third parties.
This license applies only to intellectual property rights and other rights in the Data that are owned by, or that the website operator is legally authorized to license or permit you to use.
Nothing in this license grants you ownership of, or permission to use as a trademark or otherwise, any third-party trademark, registered trademark, logo, trade name, image, copyrighted work, or other intellectual property or proprietary right that the website operator does not own or control.
The presence of third-party material in the Data does not mean that the website operator has obtained or is granting permission to use that material beyond the rights expressly covered by this license.
If your intended use of any third-party material requires permission from its owner or rights holder, you are responsible for obtaining that permission or otherwise ensuring that your use is lawful.
The inclusion of any third-party trademark, registered trademark, logo, name, or other protected material in the Data does not constitute an endorsement of this license or of your use by the relevant rights holder.
This license does not transfer ownership of the Data or any intellectual property or other proprietary rights to you.
You receive only the permissions expressly granted by this license, and only with respect to rights that the website operator owns or is legally authorized to license or permit you to use.
The Data is provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
The website operator does not guarantee that the Data is accurate, complete, current, suitable for a particular purpose, or free from third-party rights.
You are responsible for determining whether your intended use of the Data complies with applicable laws and does not infringe the rights of third parties.
In particular, you are responsible for obtaining any additional permissions necessary for the use of trademarks, copyrighted material, personal data, publicity rights, database rights, or other third-party rights that may be contained in or associated with the Data.
This license applies to the Data made available under this license unless a particular item or dataset is expressly identified as being subject to different terms.
Where different terms are expressly stated for particular Data, those terms take precedence for that Data.
The website operator may update this license for future releases or newly published Data.
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, a change to this license does not retroactively revoke permissions already granted for Data that you lawfully obtained under a previous version of this license.
