By accessing neverplaythis.com (“the Website”), operated by NEVER PLAY THIS / HyperHollow Games, Germany, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not accept these terms, please refrain from using the Website and its services.

3. AI-Generated Content
Reviews, ratings, scores, and editorial commentary on this Website are generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence. While we review and curate the output, AI-generated content may contain inaccuracies, subjective assessments, or outdated information. Scores and ratings reflect an automated evaluation and should not be considered definitive judgments of a game's quality. You should not rely solely on information from this Website when making purchasing decisions.
4. No Warranty (Gewährleistungsausschluss)
All content, data, and services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In particular:
- We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of reviews, scores, ratings, or any other information provided.
- We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Website or its services.
- Game information, developer details, and platform links may become outdated. We are not responsible for changes made by third-party developers or platforms after publication.
5. Limitation of Liability (Haftungsbeschränkung)
To the extent permitted by German law:
- We are liable without limitation for damages caused by wilful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit).
- In cases of simple negligence (einfache Fahrlässigkeit), our liability is limited to breaches of material contractual obligations (Kardinalpflichten), and in such cases limited to foreseeable, typically occurring damages.
- We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including lost profits, data loss, business interruption, or damages arising from reliance on reviews or ratings.
- For gratuitous services, liability is further limited pursuant to §§ 521, 599 BGB.
- The above limitations do not apply to liability for injury to life, body, or health, or to mandatory statutory liability.
6. Third-Party Content and Links
Our website contains links to external third-party websites, including game developer pages, digital storefronts (e.g. itch.io, Google Play), and other gaming platforms, over whose content we have no influence. We hereby expressly distance ourselves from all content on linked pages and do not adopt such content as our own (keine Zu-eigen-Machung). At the time of linking, the linked pages were checked for possible legal violations; no illegal content was apparent at that time. A permanent content review of linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation and is not required under § 7 Abs. 2 DDG. Upon becoming aware of any legal violations, we will remove such links immediately. Linking to external websites does not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or affiliation. We are not liable for the availability, accuracy, completeness, or content of external websites, nor for any damages arising from the use of such content.

All original content on this Website, including review text, design, code, and the NEVER PLAY THIS brand, is protected by copyright law (Urheberrechtsgesetz). You may not reproduce, distribute, or commercially exploit this content without our prior written consent. Game names, logos, and trademarks referenced in reviews belong to their respective owners and are used for commentary and criticism purposes.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). For consumers within the EU, mandatory consumer protection provisions of your country of residence apply to the extent they provide more favourable protection. The place of jurisdiction for all disputes is Germany, unless mandatory statutory provisions require otherwise.
10. Severability (Salvatorische Klausel)
Should any provision of these Terms be or become invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be replaced by a valid provision that comes closest to the economic intent of the invalid provision.
