User Agreement

Last updated: October 20, 2026

This User Agreement (the “Agreement”) is the end-user license between you and Clearhaven for your use of the guides, editorial ratings, rankings, embedded browser games and community features on clearhaven.link (the “Site”). It works together with our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy; where this Agreement and the Terms of Service both address the same subject, this Agreement governs your use of the licensed content specifically.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

By reading, linking to, printing, or otherwise using Site content, or by playing any embedded game through the Site, you accept this Agreement. If you do not accept it, you must stop using the Site. You must be at least 13 years old (or the higher digital-consent age of your country, up to 16 under the GDPR) to use the Site; minors may use it only with the involvement of a parent or guardian.

2. License Grant

Subject to this Agreement, Clearhaven grants you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to:

• view and navigate the Site for private, non-commercial purposes;
• read our game guides, reviews, rankings and scores, and share direct links to them;
• play the embedded third-party games for personal entertainment, subject to each game provider’s own terms;
• quote short excerpts of our editorial text with clear attribution and a working link to the original page.

3. License Restrictions

Except as expressly permitted above, you may not:

• reproduce, republish, mirror, or re-host our guides, ratings, rankings or editorial layout on another website, app, ebook, newsletter, or paid product;
• use our scores or rankings in advertising, press releases, or marketing claims without our prior written consent, or present them as official ratings of any developer or publisher;
• scrape the Site at scale, train commercial machine-learning models on our editorial corpus, or extract game data through automated means;
• sell, sublicense, rent, or otherwise commercially exploit Site content;
• remove or alter copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices displayed on the Site;
• use the Clearhaven name, logo, or trade dress in a way that suggests sponsorship or endorsement by Clearhaven.

4. Embedded Games and Third-Party Content

Games playable on the Site are hosted and owned by third parties (currently GamePix and its game partners). This Agreement does not grant you any license to those games beyond what the game provider offers directly; your play is also subject to their terms. Clearhaven does not control game availability, patches, in-game purchases (if any offered by the provider), or in-game data, and is not a party to any transaction between you and a game provider.

5. Editorial Content and Ratings Acknowledgment

You acknowledge that all guides, reviews, scores and rankings on the Site are opinion-based editorial works produced after hands-on evaluation, that they may become outdated when games are updated, and that they are not official ratings from any developer, publisher, or platform. Game mechanics, URLs and availability change without notice; we update guides on a best-efforts basis but owe no obligation to keep every page current.

6. Community and Feedback

Comments, tips and suggestions you submit must comply with the conduct rules in our Terms of Service (Section 2). Any feedback, suggestions or improvement ideas you voluntarily send to Clearhaven may be used by us without restriction or compensation to you; this does not grant us ownership of your existing intellectual property.

7. No Warranties

THE SITE AND ALL LICENSED CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND AVAILABILITY, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY GUIDE, SCORE OR RANKING. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW IMPLIED WARRANTY EXCLUSIONS; IN THOSE PLACES, THE EXCLUSION APPLIES TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLEARHAVEN AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR LOSS OF DATA, GAME PROGRESS, GOODWILL, OR PROFITS, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY LICENSED CONTENT. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100). Nothing in this Agreement excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct where such exclusion is prohibited.

9. Suspension and Termination of the License

9.1 By you. You may end this Agreement at any time by ceasing use of the Site and clearing site data in your browser (removing locally stored comments, likes and favourites).

9.2 By us. Clearhaven may revoke the license granted in Section 2 and restrict or block your access to the Site if you breach this Agreement or the Terms of Service, including any abuse of scraping, mirroring, or commercial exploitation limits. We may also withdraw or modify any part of the Site — including any guide, ranking, or embedded game — at any time.

9.3 Survival. Sections 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 11 survive termination of this Agreement.

10. Changes to This Agreement

We may revise this Agreement at any time. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision; material changes will be announced on the Site at least 30 days before taking effect where required. Continued use of the Site after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Agreement.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes shall first be attempted to be resolved informally by contacting [email protected] (30-day negotiation window). If unresolved, disputes fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of the people’s courts over Clearhaven’s principal place of business in the PRC — currently recommended venue: the Haidian District People’s Court, Beijing, People’s Republic of China — subject to any non-waivable consumer protections of your country of residence. Full details: our Terms of Service (Sections 11–12).
