Unless clearly stated, Classic Games is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by those rights holders.

The website design, text, organization, features, code, and original materials are owned by us or used under license and are protected by applicable laws. You may use Classic Games for personal, non-commercial gameplay and sharing, but you may not copy, resell, or redistribute substantial portions of the service without permission.

Embeds and Sharing

Classic Games may provide embed pages or share links for some games. You may use them for ordinary personal, community, or editorial sharing, but you may not claim ownership of Classic Games, sell access to embedded players, hide required notices, or use embeds in misleading or unlawful contexts.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

Classic Games may show ads and may rely on third-party hosting, CDN, emulator, analytics, security, or advertising services. Third-party services may have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites, ads, downloads, or services that we do not control.

Privacy

Classic Games collects limited information to operate, protect, measure, and improve the website. For details, please read our Privacy Policy.

Service Changes

We may add, remove, update, suspend, or discontinue any game, feature, category, embed, ad placement, or part of the website at any time. We may also restrict access for security, legal compliance, abuse prevention, maintenance, or rights-holder requests.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Classic Games is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that every game will run on every device, that the website will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any particular game, save state, control option, score, or feature will remain available.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, availability, and accuracy.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Classic Games and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or lost-profit damages arising from your use of or inability to use the website, games, ads, embeds, or third-party services.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Classic Games, its operators, service providers, and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the website, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

Termination

If we believe you have violated these Terms, created security or legal risk, or harmed the service, users, rights holders, or third parties, we may block, suspend, or terminate your access to Classic Games.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by applicable laws, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute related to these Terms or the website should first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it may be handled through the procedures available under applicable law.

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the date on this page. Your continued use of classicgames.app after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.
