Terms of Service

1. Using CheatRZ

CheatRZ helps you discover gaming coverage and follow upcoming games. It brings together headlines, links, limited excerpts, images, release information, and automated story groupings and rankings. It currently offers no paid subscriptions or pay-to-rank placement.

Account features are available only where you may lawfully use them. If you are under the age of legal adulthood where you live, review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian and obtain their permission where required. Nothing here limits rights or protections the law gives children or their parents or guardians.

2. Stories, rankings, and release dates

Rankings help organize selected sources; they are not an exhaustive measure of importance, quality, or truth. Automated collection and grouping can make mistakes. Excerpts and summaries may leave out context, and source reports may be disputed, corrected, or withdrawn. Read the linked original reporting before relying on a claim. If AI-assisted summaries or descriptions are provided, the same limits apply: they are reading aids, not independent verification of the reporting.

Release dates can change and may differ by platform or region. A month, quarter, year, or TBA entry is a window, not an exact date. Countdowns use the displayed calendar date in Central Time, not a guaranteed launch hour. Recorded release updates cover changes observed by this catalog, not every earlier announcement.

Downloaded calendar files are snapshots and do not update automatically. Check the official publisher or storefront before making plans or purchases. Saving a game does not reserve, purchase, or promise access to it. Corrections can be reported through the contact address above.

3. Accounts and private saves

Accounts use a username and passkey. A nickname is fine; do not impersonate another person or the operator. Signup does not require your real name, email address, birthday, or phone number. Your biometric information, device PIN, and passkey private key are not sent to CheatRZ.

Keep your devices, passkeys, and recovery code secure. Anyone with the recovery code can replace your passkeys. Successful recovery signs out existing sessions and gives you a replacement code. A username alone cannot recover an account; without a working passkey or recovery code, access may be permanently lost. Contact the operator about suspected unauthorized access, but never email your recovery code or private credentials.

My Saves holds your selected stories and games, saved dates, and read status so you can use them across devices. Lists are private and are not a public posting feature. Saving an item does not transfer ownership of it or give CheatRZ permission to publish your list. The information needed to operate these features is handled as explained in Privacy & accounts.

You can remove saves and delete your reader account in account settings. Deletion removes the account and its saved items from the active database. Restricted backups may temporarily retain deleted records, and aggregate account totals remain, as the privacy page explains.

4. Respecting the site and other people

You may browse, share links, use your saves, and download the calendar exports provided by the site. Respect other people’s rights, access controls, and published rate limits.

Do not access another person’s account without permission, attempt to obtain private data, distribute malicious code, deliberately overload the service, or evade security restrictions. Do not use CheatRZ to infringe copyright, deceive others about your identity or affiliation, or otherwise break applicable law. Automated requests must not disrupt the site or bypass its limits. These rules do not restrict lawful accessibility tools, ordinary use of public feeds, or rights that applicable law preserves.

5. Content ownership and external services

Publishers and other rights holders retain their rights in articles, excerpts, images, game artwork, names, and other source material. Public availability, a feed, a link, or attribution does not itself establish permission for reuse. CheatRZ does not grant you rights to third-party material. Check the relevant rights and terms before republishing it.

The operator claims only the rights that applicable law provides in CheatRZ’s original material, design, code, and branding. These Terms do not give ownership over facts or public-domain material, override open-source licenses, or restrict fair use and other lawful exceptions.

Links, images, or rankings do not imply a partnership, approval, or endorsement by the source or game publisher. External sites and image hosts have their own practices and terms. Purchases or other arrangements you make there are with those providers, not CheatRZ.

6. Copyright and attribution concerns

Send copyright, attribution, and removal requests to cheatrz.com@gmail.com. Identify the work involved, the exact CheatRZ page or material, your contact details, and whether you are the rights holder or an authorized representative. Explain the concern and the correction or removal requested.

I will review reports and respond as appropriate under applicable law, including correcting, removing, or restricting material where warranted. Publishers may use the same address to request feed exclusion or an attribution change. Include the source and affected links so the request can be reviewed.

7. Availability and account restrictions

Features and sources may change, and outages or data loss can occur. CheatRZ is not a permanent archive or a substitute for keeping your own important records. I may change or discontinue features, and will give reasonable on-site notice of substantial reductions or a planned shutdown when practical.

I may restrict access or an account when reasonably necessary to address abuse, security risks, a material breach of these Terms, or legal obligations. Where practical and lawful, I will explain the reason and allow a problem to be corrected; urgent action may come first. You may email the operator to request review. You may stop using the site and delete your account at any time.

8. Limitations and your legal rights

The site is offered as available. To the extent permitted by law, I make no additional warranty that it will always be uninterrupted, error-free, complete, or suitable for a particular purpose. This does not remove any standard of care, warranty, or remedy that the law requires.

Nothing in these Terms excludes responsibility for fraud, intentional misconduct, conduct greater than ordinary negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Mandatory consumer protections and children’s and guardians’ rights remain intact. These Terms impose no obligation on you to reimburse the operator for third-party legal claims.

9. Disputes and governing law

Minnesota law and applicable United States federal law govern these Terms, except where applicable law requires otherwise. If you live elsewhere, you retain any mandatory consumer protections and access to courts that the law gives you.

You are welcome to email the operator to try to resolve a concern. Doing so is not a condition for bringing a claim or contacting a regulator, and does not change legal deadlines. Either side may bring a claim in a court with lawful jurisdiction and venue, including an eligible small-claims court. These Terms require no arbitration and waive no right to a jury trial or participation in a class action.

10. Changes to these Terms

Revisions will be posted here with an updated date. Material changes will receive clear on-site notice before taking effect when reasonably practical. Changes required urgently for law or security may take effect sooner. Where renewed agreement is required, I will request it. Revisions will not retroactively change disputes that have already arisen.

If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law. A delay in enforcing a provision does not itself waive it.
