5. Editorial Independence
Our reviews and editorial coverage are produced independently and are not sponsored, directed, or influenced by game publishers, developers, platform holders, or any third party. Any sponsored, partnered, or promotional content — if it ever appears on the Service — will be clearly labeled as such and kept editorially distinct from independent reviews and analysis.
6. User Content
If the Service at any time permits you to post, comment, or otherwise submit content ("User Content"), you retain ownership of that content but grant Saloria a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display that User Content on and through the Service for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Service.

Our content may contain references and hyperlinks to third-party websites, services, or resources that are not owned, operated, or controlled by us. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, accuracy, privacy practices, or policies of any third-party site. Accessing third-party links is at your own risk, and we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of such external sites.
9. Account Cancellation and Deactivation
General access to the Service does not require a registered account. Where you have voluntarily created an account (for example, to subscribe to newsletters, post comments, or participate in any future interactive features we may introduce), you may at any time request deactivation or deletion of your account by contacting us at [email protected]. We will process legitimate requests within a reasonable period and in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, deactivate, or terminate any account, or to block access to the Service, immediately and without prior notice or liability, if we believe in good faith that you have violated these Terms, misused the Service, engaged in fraudulent or unlawful activity, or exposed us or third parties to legal, reputational, or technical risk. Upon deactivation or termination, all licenses granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately.
Provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to survive termination — including but not limited to intellectual property ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law — shall continue in effect after account deactivation or termination.
10. Disclaimers
Your use of the Service is at your sole risk. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, and uninterrupted availability.
We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, secure, or available at all times, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service is free of viruses or other harmful components. Any content accessed or relied upon through the Service is done at your own discretion and risk.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Saloria, its directors, editors, employees, contributors, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses — resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with your access to, use of, or inability to access or use the Service, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the extent any liability cannot be excluded under applicable law, our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you have paid to us for access to the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) USD 50. You acknowledge that the limitations of liability set forth in this section are a material basis of the bargain between us and reflect a reasonable allocation of risk.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Saloria and its directors, editors, employees, contributors, partners, agents, suppliers, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with your use of or access to the Service, your violation of these Terms, your infringement of any third-party rights, or your User Content. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which case you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.
13. Dispute Resolution
Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or the Service (a "Dispute") shall be resolved in accordance with the following procedure:
First, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute through direct negotiation. The party initiating the Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party, and the parties shall endeavor to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days from the date of such notice. This notice should be sent to [email protected].
If the Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation within that period, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered in Singapore in accordance with the Rules of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) in force at the time of the commencement of the arbitration. The seat of arbitration shall be Singapore; the language of the arbitration shall be English; and the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitral award shall be final and binding on both parties, and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek interim or injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, or to address urgent matters where arbitration would not provide an adequate remedy. The parties waive any right to participate in a class action or to consolidate claims with those of other users.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Singapore, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) shall not apply.
Subject to the dispute resolution procedure in Section 13, the courts of Singapore shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Singapore International Commercial Court and the General Division of the High Court of Singapore as the appropriate courts of record.
You waive any objection to venue in Singapore and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient or inappropriate forum. If you access the Service from a jurisdiction outside Singapore, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for complying with local laws, including any that restrict access to or use of the Service.
15. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify, amend, or replace these Terms at any time. We will publish the revised Terms on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and, where the changes are material, we will endeavor to provide at least thirty (30) days' prior notice (by posting a prominent notice on the Service or by direct communication where we hold your contact details) before the new Terms take effect.
Material changes are those that substantially affect your rights or obligations — for example, changes to liability limits, dispute resolution, governing law, or account terms. Non-material changes (such as clarifications, formatting, or section renumbering) may take effect immediately upon posting.
By continuing to access or use the Service after the effective date of any revised Terms, you confirm your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you disagree with the revised Terms, your sole remedy is to stop using the Service. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
16. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with any documents expressly incorporated by reference (including our Privacy Policy), constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Saloria with respect to the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, communications, and proposals, whether oral or written, regarding that subject matter.
17. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
