Digital Rights Management
Content you download or otherwise access via the website may contain third-party digital rights management systems ("DRM") which may allow for communication between the Content and the third party and utilize security features to prevent unauthorized use or distribution. These DRMs are subject to separate license agreements. GameStreamer is not responsible for any loss or damage relating to the use of any DRM, and Content incorporating a DRM, or your dealings with the third party responsible for the DRM. The DRM may also communicate information regarding your computer systems, network locations, IP address and software to GameStreamer in certain circumstances in order to prevent unauthorized use or distribution of the associated Content.
Widgets
GameStreamer widgets ("Widgets") are tools which you may place on your website in order for visitors to your website to access and view Content and other information located on the GameStreamer website. Widgets may include, without limitation, GameStreamer trademarks and logos, headlines and links to articles located on the GameStreamer website, search boxes which link to Content and other information located on the GameStreamer website, and advertising for GameStreamer and third-party products and services. References to Widgets herein shall include, without limitation, all associated Content and information provided via the Widgets, all software files or other intellectual property comprising or provided via the Widgets, all data and code that accompanies the Widgets, and all upgrades, enhancements, modifications, updates and revisions of such software and code.
Your use of the Widgets is subject to all of the general terms and restrictions of use contained elsewhere in these Terms of Service, as well as all of the other terms and conditions contained herein. You are not licensed to use the Widgets for any other purposes, and nothing herein shall be deemed to grant you any right, title or interest in the Widgets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you may not use the Widgets to offer or promote, or otherwise use the Widgets in association with, any products or services for sale.
You may not use the Widgets in any manner that would constitute an endorsement (whether express or implied) by GameStreamer (including any of its parent, subsidiary or related companies) of your website or any product, service or activity contained on your website. You may not place the Widgets on any website that includes content that is offensive, abusive, harassing, threatening, discriminatory, vulgar, pornographic or otherwise inappropriate as determined by GameStreamer in its sole discretion.
The Widgets may be used only with those platforms from which a functional link is made available that directs users to Content and other information as located on the GameStreamer website. You may not use the Widgets in any manner that does not permit successful linking to, redirection to or delivery of the applicable GameStreamer web page. You may not insert any intermediate page, splash page or other content between the Widget link and the applicable GameStreamer web page. GameStreamer may use data capture, syndication analysis and other similar tools to track, extract, compile aggregate and analyze any data or information resulting from use of a Widget.
Please be aware that GameStreamer delivers Content on the website via or allows third parties to post widgets provided by third parties ("Widgets"). These Widgets are controlled by third-party content providers ("Widget Providers"). GameStreamer does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any Content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available through such Widgets. The Widgets may use "cookies" or otherwise gather or collect information about you, including by asking you to provide information through such Widgets. The use of these Widgets, as well as the privacy practices of the Widget Providers, are governed by the applicable Widget Providers' separate terms of use and privacy policies, if any. GameStreamer strongly encourages you to review any separate terms of use and privacy policies governing use of these Widgets.
