Terms of Use

Nature of This Website

Cartridge Desk is an independent reference directory. It publishes written descriptions, control guides, and category listings for browser-based games, and provides links to the external platforms where those games can be played. The site itself does not host, distribute, or execute any game software, and it does not operate any gaming platform.

Using the Directory

You may browse game descriptions, read guides, explore categories, and follow outbound links freely and without registration. You agree to use Cartridge Desk for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes only. Automated scraping, mirroring, or systematic extraction of the directory's content without written permission is prohibited.

External Gaming Platforms

Links on Cartridge Desk direct you to third-party websites and platforms where the listed games are hosted. Cartridge Desk has no control over those platforms, their availability, their content policies, or any transactions you enter into with them. The terms of service and rules of each external platform apply exclusively once you navigate there, and you are responsible for reviewing them.

Intellectual Property

The original text, descriptions, structural organisation, and branding of Cartridge Desk are the intellectual property of its operator and may not be reproduced without permission. Game titles, logos, screenshots, and other game-related assets referenced in descriptions remain the property of their respective rights holders and are used for identification and informational purposes only. Nothing on this site transfers ownership of any third-party intellectual property to users.

Availability and Accuracy

Cartridge Desk makes reasonable efforts to keep game descriptions accurate and links functional, but cannot guarantee that any particular game remains available on its external platform or that a platform's rules have not changed since a description was written. The directory is provided on an as-is, as-available basis. We reserve the right to update, correct, or remove any content at any time without notice.

Limitation of Liability

Cartridge Desk is not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the directory or from your interactions with external gaming platforms. This includes any issues related to platform downtime, account actions taken by third-party operators, or content encountered after following an outbound link. Use of external platforms is entirely at your own risk.

User Responsibilities

By using Cartridge Desk you confirm that you are of sufficient legal age to access online game content in your jurisdiction, or that you have parental or guardian consent where required. You agree not to attempt to interfere with the site's operation, circumvent any technical measures, or use the site in any way that could harm other users or third parties.

Amendments to These Terms

These Terms of Use may be revised at any time. The version published on this page at the time of your visit is the version that applies to your use of the site. Significant changes will be reflected in an updated revision date. Continuing to use Cartridge Desk after changes are posted means you accept the revised terms.
