Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing and using playnite.net (“Playnite,” “we,” “our,” or “the website”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the website.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses or uses the website. Your continued use of playnite.net after any changes to these Terms means you accept those changes.

2. Description of Service

Playnite is an independently operated informational website that provides download links, guides, and resources related to the Playnite video game library manager software.

A few things to understand about what we are and what we are not:

• We are not the developer, publisher, or official distributor of Playnite software. Playnite is developed by Josef Nemec and is licensed under the MIT open-source license.
• We do not host software files on our servers. All download links point to official or original sources such as the Playnite GitHub repository.
• Our content — including articles, guides, feature descriptions, and setup instructions — is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
• We are a fan-made resource site. We have no affiliation with Josef Nemec, the Playnite project, or any of the game platforms (Steam, Epic Games, GOG, etc.) mentioned on this site.

3. Intellectual Property

All software names, logos, and trademarks referenced on this website belong to their respective owners. “Playnite” and the Playnite logo are the property of Josef Nemec. Game platform names like Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, EA App, Battle.net, and Ubisoft Connect are trademarks of their respective companies.

We use these names and trademarks strictly for identification and informational purposes, as permitted under fair use principles.

10. Content Accuracy and Updates

We work to provide accurate information about Playnite, including its features, system requirements, installation steps, and version history. However, Playnite is actively developed software — new versions bring changes to features, requirements, and supported platforms.

We cannot guarantee that every piece of information on this site reflects the very latest state of the software at any given moment.

We reserve the right to modify, update, or remove any content on this website without prior notice. If you find outdated or incorrect information, please let us know through our Contact page.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
