Purpose and contentdapplebrook.shop focuses on the preservation, documentation, and accessibility of historical video games. The website may contain game information, images, manuals, game files, emulators, user submissions, and links to other websites. The content is provided mainly for informational, educational, and personal non-commercial use.
Acceptable useYou may use the website only in accordance with applicable law and these Terms. You must not disrupt the operation or security of the website, circumvent technical restrictions, distribute malicious code, attempt to gain unauthorised access, impose an unreasonable automated load on the server, or download content in bulk in a manner that may impair availability for other visitors. You must not use the website for unlawful activities or to infringe the rights of others.
Emulators and game filesEmulators are independent software projects used under their respective licence terms. Making a game available for online play or download does not transfer a licence or any other rights in that game. Visitors are responsible for ensuring that their use of content complies with the laws applicable where they live. Downloads are not provided for titles that we know remain commonly available through official commercial distribution. Further information is available in our Copyright Statement.
Copyright and content noticesRights in games, names, graphics, music, manuals, and other materials belong to their respective owners. dapplebrook.shop does not claim ownership of them. If you are a rights holder or an authorised representative and believe that particular content infringes your rights, please use our report form or email [email protected]. Identify the content, explain your relationship to the relevant rights, and describe the alleged infringement. We will review the notice and take appropriate action where justified.
User submissionsDo not post unlawful material, threats, harassment or hateful content, spam, malicious links, another person's private information, or material that infringes third-party rights in the guestbook, discussions, or other public areas. By submitting a post, you confirm that you are entitled to publish it and grant dapplebrook.shop a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to display it as part of the website. We may moderate, hide, or remove submissions, particularly where they violate these Terms, applicable law, or the subject of the discussion. A moderation decision may be challenged by contacting us at the email address below.
Availability and changes to the serviceWe aim to keep the website accurate and available, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted operation or that all content will always be complete, current, error-free, or compatible with every device. We may modify, temporarily restrict, or remove individual functions, games, emulators, or other materials, particularly for technical, security, or legal reasons.
