Terms & Conditions
The rules for using this site, written to be read rather than skipped. Virtual gems have no real-world value — section five says so plainly.
Last updated 1 September 2026
1. Using this site
By using gemarcadegames.xyz you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. These terms may be updated; the date at the top of this page shows when they last were.
2. What we provide
We provide free access to browser-based arcade games and written guides. No account, payment or registration is required. We do not guarantee that the site will always be available, that every game will work in every browser, or that any particular game will remain published indefinitely.
3. Acceptable use
You may play the games and read the content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may link to any page on this site. You may not:
- copy, redistribute, rehost, embed or sell our games or their source code without written permission;
- republish our articles, in whole or in substantial part, as your own;
- attempt to interfere with the site, its hosting, or other people’s use of it;
- use automated tools to scrape the site at a rate that degrades it for others;
- misrepresent your relationship with the site.
4. Intellectual property
The games, source code, written content, artwork, thumbnails, icons and the Gem Arcade Games name are ours unless stated otherwise, and are protected by copyright. Nothing on this site grants you a licence to use them beyond the personal use described above.
If you believe material on this site infringes your rights, contact copyright@gemarcadegames.xyz with enough detail to identify the material and your claim. We investigate and act on credible notices promptly.
5. Virtual items have no value
The gems, crystals, jewels, diamonds, energy stones, treasure, points, scores, streaks and multipliers in our games are fictional elements of gameplay. They have no monetary value, cannot be bought, sold, traded, transferred, withdrawn or exchanged for anything, and confer no rights of any kind. Nothing on this site is a financial product, an investment, a game of chance played for money, or a representation about real-world gemstones.
6. Scores and saved data
Scores, favourites and play history are stored in your browser and are your responsibility. We have no copy, cannot restore them, and are not liable for their loss — including loss caused by clearing site data, changing browser, changing device, or using private browsing.
7. Advertising
The site is designed to display advertising. Where adverts appear, they are labelled and placed away from gameplay controls. We do not control the content of third-party adverts and are not responsible for the products, services or websites they promote. Clicking an advert takes you to a third party whose terms and privacy practices apply instead of ours.
8. Links to other sites
Our articles link to external documentation and resources. Those sites are not under our control and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices.
9. No warranties
The site and its games are provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties of any kind about the site’s availability, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or freedom from error or interruption.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of this site, including lost data, lost scores or lost time. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.
11. Changes and termination
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site, including individual games, at any time. We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept the updated terms.
