You may not "hack" the site, violate the copyrights of any of the material on the site, circumvent or attempt to circumvent passwords or other technical features meants to protect the site or limit or control access, harass the site's operators or users, access the site through automated means that would cause excessive load on our servers or network connections, or otherwise abuse the site.

We reserve the right to delete user accounts or deny access to any user, at our sole discretion and without notice. We may discontinue the entire service, or any feature of the service, at any time without notice.

You understand that the site's operators do not routinely review, filter, or edit the material uploaded by users, and you agree that we are under no obligation to do so. The site provides self-serve publishing features that allow users to post information directly without any approval or review process. You agree that any material you find offensive or objectionable is the sole responsibility of the user who posted it. If you encounter material you believe is in violation of our terms of service, you may report it us (see our contact information), but you agree that such a report creates no obligation of any kind on the site's operators.

Please note that the games cataloged on IFDB are not themselves within the scope of the Creative Commons license mentioned above. IFDB doesn't host any games - it only stores metadata (such as bibliography, reviews, comments, and news items) about games. The Creative Commons license only applies to things uploaded to IFDB itself. The games are covered by their own individual copyrights and license terms as set by their respective authors. Inclusion of a game in IFDB in no way affects the game's own copyright or license terms.

We hope that these terms are fair, reasonable, and easy to understand, but if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
