By using GigaROM you accept these rules. If you disagree with any of them, the sensible thing is not to use the site.

What GigaROM is

GigaROM is an informational site about retro video games, older consoles and emulators. We publish game entries, guides and tutorials.

We do not host files. The download buttons on our pages lead to third-party services that are not ours and that we do not control. We publish information and links; the file, if it exists, lives somewhere else.

About third-party links

We are not responsible for the content, availability, security or practices of linked sites. When you click an external link you leave GigaROM and become subject to that other service's terms.

We do not and cannot verify what each third-party file contains. Download at your own judgement and risk.

Emulators and games

Emulators are legal software. What may not be legal is obtaining or using copies of games you hold no rights to, and that depends on the law where you live. Inform yourself before downloading: what you do is your responsibility.

Intellectual property

The texts, descriptions, guides and design of GigaROM are our own work and are protected. You may quote them with a link to the source; you may not copy them in bulk or republish them as your own.

Trademarks, logos, console names and game titles belong to their respective owners. GigaROM has no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, SEGA or any other company mentioned. We use them only to identify what we are talking about.

If you believe something published here infringes your rights, see our Content Removal (DMCA) page.

Acceptable use

You may not:

  • extract the site's content in an automated, bulk fashion without permission
  • attempt to access restricted areas or interfere with how the site works
  • use the site to distribute malicious software or for unlawful activity
  • republish our content as your own.

Advertising

The site is funded by advertising. Ads are served by an external company and their content is not up to us. An ad appearing here does not mean we endorse it.

No warranties

GigaROM is provided as is. We do our best to keep information accurate and current, but we do not guarantee it is error-free, that the site is always available, or that external links work.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from your use of the site, from being unable to use it, or from anything that happens on third-party services we link to.

Changes

We may update these terms. The date in the header marks the latest version. If a change is significant, we announce it visibly.

Contact

For any question about these terms: [[email protected]] or the site's contact form.
