3. Accounts and Email-Based Features

Some features may require an account, email verification, or email token. You are responsible for keeping login credentials and email access secure. You may not impersonate another person or use false information to abuse ratings, reviews, submissions, or community features.

4. Acceptable Use

You may not use the website to upload malware, viruses, spyware, ransomware, malicious scripts, credential stealers, or harmful code; attack, scan, overload, scrape, disrupt, or bypass website security; submit games that secretly redirect users, collect data without permission, mine cryptocurrency, run hidden network activity, or perform deceptive behavior; upload copyrighted material you do not have permission to use; upload sexually explicit, hateful, harassing, threatening, defamatory, illegal, or exploitative content; promote gambling, illegal drugs, weapons trafficking, fraud, scams, or unlawful activity; manipulate ratings, reviews, leaderboards, or popularity scores; post spam, fake reviews, bot-generated content, or misleading claims; harass creators, reviewers, players, administrators, or other users; or use the website in violation of law.

We may remove content, restrict access, suspend features, block IP addresses, or take other action if we believe these Terms have been violated.

5. Game Submissions

Creators may submit games for review. By submitting a game, you represent and warrant that you own the game or have all rights needed to submit it; the game does not infringe copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, publicity rights, trade secrets, or other rights; the game does not contain malware or harmful code; the game does not secretly collect personal information; the game does not redirect users to unsafe or deceptive websites; and the game complies with these Terms and all posted creator rules.

We may accept, reject, test, scan, modify metadata, resize images, edit descriptions, categorize, publish, unpublish, or remove submitted games at any time. Submission does not guarantee publication.

6. License Granted by Creators

You retain ownership of content you submit, subject to the rights you grant us.

By submitting a game, screenshot, image, description, title, instructions, tags, or other creator content, you grant GoodVideoGames.com a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display, perform, distribute, promote, review, test, scan, modify for technical formatting, and make the content available through the website.

This license allows us to operate the arcade, display your game page, promote games on the website, create thumbnails, show screenshots, and maintain archives or backups.

You may request removal of your submitted game by contacting us. We may retain records as needed for legal, security, moderation, or backup purposes.

7. Player Ratings and Reviews

Ratings and reviews should reflect genuine user experience. We may remove, hide, or modify reviews that appear fake, abusive, irrelevant, spam-like, unlawful, misleading, or designed to manipulate rankings. We do not guarantee that ratings, rankings, leaderboards, or reviews are complete, error-free, or representative of all users.

8. Intellectual Property

GoodVideoGames.com, including its design, branding, layout, text, logos, code, graphics, and site structure, is owned by us or licensed to us unless otherwise stated. Games and creator-submitted materials remain owned by their respective creators, subject to the license granted to us.
