The content of classicamiga

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the content of this Web site is kept up to date and that all data is accurate. Nevertheless, it is possible to have errors and therefore they cannot be entirely ruled out. Please contact the classicamiga staff if you believe that you have discovered a mistake or missing data.

We do not give any warranty in respect of the timeliness, accuracy or completeness of material published on this Web site, and disclaim all liability for (material or non-material) loss or damage incurred by third parties arising from the use of content obtained from this Web site.

Original Content submissions

Any member submitting their own original content to classicamiga.com (e.g. FAQs, Articles, Images, Reviews, comments, web links, files or any other member created original content) agrees to allow classicamiga.com the right to host it indefinitely and in doing so is also licensing the content to classicamiga.com for indefinite display, therefore agreeing to grant classicamiga.com a royalty-free, non-exclusive and non-revocable licence to use the work.

Original content submitted to classicamiga.com is considered your original and copyrighted work, but in submitting your original content you grant classicamiga.com the right to modify your work, for purposes of making it world-readable.

Members still retain full copyright to their own original content outside of classicamiga.com, and are therefore free to also publish their same original content externally to classicamiga.com if they so wish. If any member does this we kindly ask that you consider adding the text "originally created for classicamiga.com" at the bottom of your work as a nice way to promote classicamiga a little bit to aid us in spreading the site's reputation.

Classicamiga.com will host your content exclusively on the Classicamiga servers and not distribute it beyond there unless we first seek your permission, although we may allow our affiliates and partners to link to the content hosted on the Classicamiga servers.

Exempt from Copyright

Cheats, tips, game data, demo data, game credits and demo credits are factual and may not be subject to copyright. These may not be removed (unless they contain incorrect information). No individual or organisation can hold claim to factual data.

Images and Screenshots

Images taken by a classicamiga.com member and submitted to the site are considered original content, and are therefore covered by the "Original Content submissions" disclaimer above.

Images (except for screenshots) used on classicamiga.com that did not originate from classicamiga.com, or from one of its members, should include an acknowledgement of their origin, listed on the site's credits page.

Screenshots are taken from copyrighted programs and therefore the creator of a screenshot cannot hold claim to its copyright. Instead the copyright of each screenshot is held with the original developer and publisher of the program each was taken from. Hence classicamiga.com and its members cannot hold claim to any screenshots hosted on classicamiga.com.

Use of classicamiga.com content externally

No person or persons, other than the creator of said content, are permitted to use any content original to classicamiga.com without prior consent from the classicamiga.com administrator. Where permitted you must include an acknowledgement of classicamiga.com being the source of the material being used, along with the name of the classicamiga.com member to whom the content originated.

You may quote content from classicamiga without first seeking permission for the purpose of news reporting, but must include the source of the quoted material mentioned as originating from classicamiga.com, along with the name of its author.

The use of content that we do not hold exclusive copyrights too, such as screenshots, is beyond our control, but again we kindly ask that if you use any non original content from classicamiga.com that you would be so kind as to include an acknowledgement of classicamiga.com being it's source.

Original content deletions

The classicamiga.com administrator reserves the right to delete original content without warning. Members are in their rights to request an explanation regarding the deletion of any of their own content, but they have no powers against such decisions and agree to the administrator's right to delete their content without warning.

The Deletion of any original or factual content on classicamiga.com must first be approved by the Administration and Staff Moderation team of classicamiga.com. Failure to seek approval prior to deleting unique original content from the classicamiga.com servers will be seen as a breach of classicamiga.com membership and a breach of this agreement.

Trademarks and property names

All trademarks and copyrights contained on the classicamiga.com servers and sites are owned by their respective trademark and copyright holders.

Registered trademarks and proprietary names, and copyrighted text and images, are not generally indicated as such on our Web pages. But the absence of such indications in no way implies that these names, images or text belong to the public domain in the context of trademark or copyright law.

If any trademark or property owner wishes to discuss the use of their property on this site would you please contact us to discuss this further.

External links

We cannot assume any liability for the content of external linked pages. The operators of those linked pages are responsible for their content.

You can email the site administrator directly using the contact page, and staff can be contacted on the classicamiga forum or via their individual site profiles accessible from the staff members page.

Privacy Policy

classicamiga takes the privacy of its members very seriously and will never give out any of your personal details.

When you register with classicamiga you are required to enter your email address. This is never displayed to the public - but is stored in the system as part of your profile. All members are fully in control of their own information held on classicamiga and can edit their own profile at any time to hide or remove any details.

classicamiga will never give out a member's email address to any third party and when other members email you via the site's emailing system they do not see your email address when they send their initial email to you. Only if you reply directly back to them will your email address then be shown as part of your return email.

Occasionally a classicamiga Administrator may contact members directly using the members email address. This is only available to the Administrators and no other members of classicamiga have access to this information.

Sometimes classicamiga is contacted by third parties who wish to link to content held on classicamiga, or who wish to make contact with the site or one of its members. We NEVER give out email addresses and will always contact members personally first. The exception to the rule is when a classicamiga member has posted content on classicamiga explicitly asking to be directly contacted.
