Binding Agreement
Terms of Service
This document outlines the operational framework for interacting with the Stonegrain archive. By navigating this portal, you acknowledge the proprietary nature of our discovery methodology.
Section 01
Operational Governance & Use
The following rules govern the search, discovery, and citation of titles within the Stonegrain ledger.
1.1 Content Ownership
All editorial content, including reviews, analysis, and discovery methodologies presented on Stonegrain.site, are the intellectual property of Stonegrain. Our mission is to document games outside the top charts; the resulting research is our proprietary ledger. You may not reproduce this data without explicit written consent from our Düsseldorf office.
1.2 Acceptable Use Protocol
Stonegrain is a manual archive. Automated scraping, data mining, or the use of our editorial archives to train artificial intelligence models is strictly prohibited. We prioritize human discovery; our infrastructure is designed for individual researchers and enthusiasts, not bulk extraction.
1.3 User Conduct
Interaction within our community layers must remain constructive. We focus on 'hidden gems'—this requires a respectful appreciation for the labor of independent developers. Any behavior deemed obstructive to this atmosphere will result in immediate restriction from the portal.
Editorial Independence
We do not accept payment for reviews. Our discovery is dictated by quality, not budget.
Subjective Critique
Game reviews represent the qualitative judgment of our archivists at the time of entry.
Technical Risk
We assess stability but are not liable for technical performance on user hardware.
