We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of RyuuGames after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

Use of Our Service

RyuuGames provides a platform for downloading visual novel games. Our service is provided free of charge, and we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use our website for personal, non-commercial purposes.

You agree to use RyuuGames only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You must not use our platform in any way that violates any applicable local, state, national, or international law or regulation. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of our service complies with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, or remove or edit content at our sole discretion. We may suspend or terminate your access to RyuuGames at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these terms.

Age Restrictions

RyuuGames is intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. Many of the visual novel games available on our platform contain mature content, including adult themes, violence, sexual content, and strong language. By using our service, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction.

If you are under 18 years of age, you must not access or use RyuuGames. Parents and guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's internet usage and ensuring they do not access age-inappropriate content. We do not knowingly collect information from or provide services to individuals under 18.

We make reasonable efforts to label games with appropriate content warnings, but we cannot guarantee that all content is accurately categorized. Users are responsible for reviewing game descriptions and content warnings before downloading.

Content and Intellectual Property

RyuuGames acts as a platform that provides links to visual novel games hosted on third-party file hosting services. We do not own, create, or claim any rights to the games available through our platform. All games, including their content, graphics, text, and other materials, are the property of their respective developers and publishers.

The content on RyuuGames, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, and software, is owned by RyuuGames or its content suppliers and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any content on our website without express written permission.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any content on RyuuGames infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights, please contact us at info.ryuugames@gmail.com with detailed information about the alleged infringement. We will investigate and take appropriate action, which may include removing the content.

By submitting feedback, suggestions, or other communications to RyuuGames, you grant us the right to use, modify, and incorporate such submissions into our service without compensation or attribution to you.

Download Links and Third-Party Services

RyuuGames provides download links to visual novel games hosted on third-party file hosting services. We do not host, store, or control the files available through these links. When you click a download link, you will be redirected to an external file hosting service that operates independently of RyuuGames.

Each third-party file hosting service has its own terms of service, privacy policy, and content policies. By using these services, you agree to comply with their terms. RyuuGames is not responsible for the practices, policies, or content of third-party services, and we do not endorse or guarantee the availability, safety, or legality of files hosted on these platforms.

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that download links are functional and lead to legitimate files. However, we cannot guarantee that all links will work at all times, that files are free from viruses or malware, or that the content is legal in your jurisdiction. You download files at your own risk.

If you encounter broken links, suspicious files, or inappropriate content, please report it to us at info.ryuugames@gmail.com so we can take appropriate action. We appreciate your help in maintaining the quality and safety of our platform.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you.

You acknowledge that you use RyuuGames at your own risk and that you are solely responsible for any damage to your computer system, loss of data, or other harm that results from your use of our service.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, RyuuGames, its owners, operators, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses.

We shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of or inability to use our service, any content obtained from our service, or any unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data. This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other basis.

In no event shall our total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action exceed the amount paid by you, if any, for accessing our service, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is less.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless RyuuGames, its owners, operators, employees, affiliates, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of our service, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

This indemnification obligation will survive the termination of your use of RyuuGames and these Terms and Conditions. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

Copyright and DMCA

RyuuGames respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable intellectual property laws.

We may terminate or suspend your access to RyuuGames immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation if you breach these Terms and Conditions. Upon termination, your right to use our service will immediately cease.

All provisions of these terms which by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including without limitation ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.

You may stop using RyuuGames at any time. You do not need to specifically inform us when you stop using our service, as we do not require user accounts for basic functionality.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these terms or your use of RyuuGames shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and RyuuGames regarding our service and supersede any prior agreements.
