4. Intellectual Property

Original website text, branding, graphics, layouts and other original Duffball16 material are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws unless stated otherwise.

Games, game names, trademarks, logos, artwork, videos, music, platform branding and other third-party material remain the property of their respective owners. References to third-party brands do not imply endorsement or ownership unless explicitly stated.

You may not reproduce, republish, sell or distribute Duffball16-owned content for commercial purposes without permission, except where applicable law allows it.

5. External Links and Third-Party Services

The website may link to third-party websites and services such as YouTube, gaming platforms, community platforms, donation or payment providers, advertisers and other external services.

Third-party services are operated independently and may have their own terms, rules and privacy policies. Duffball16 is not responsible for the availability, content, security or practices of independent third-party services.

6. Community Platforms and Interactions

Some Duffball16 community activity may take place on third-party platforms. Participation on those platforms is also subject to the platform's own terms, moderation rules and community standards.

Duffball16 may moderate, remove or restrict access to community spaces under its control when reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce rules or prevent abuse.

7. Events, Tournaments and Promotions

Duffball16 may publish information about community events, tournaments, challenges, giveaways or other activities. A specific activity may have additional eligibility requirements, rules or conditions. If separate rules are provided, those rules apply to that activity in addition to these Terms.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, third-party game publishers and platforms are not sponsors or administrators of Duffball16-run activities.

8. Donations and Payments

If the website links to a donation, tip or payment service, the transaction is normally handled by the relevant third-party provider. Any payment is also subject to that provider's terms, fees, refund rules and privacy practices.

Unless a specific offer says otherwise, voluntary donations or tips do not create an entitlement to products, services, influence, moderation privileges or special treatment.

9. Advertising

The website may display advertisements, including advertisements supplied by third-party services such as Google AdSense. Advertising content may be selected, delivered and measured by third parties.

Advertising and related data practices are described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Website Availability and Changes

Duffball16 does not guarantee that the website will always be available, uninterrupted, error-free or compatible with every device or browser. Maintenance, technical problems, security issues or third-party outages may affect availability.

11. Disclaimer

The website and its content are provided for general information and entertainment purposes and are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis to the extent permitted by law.

Duffball16 does not make guarantees about the completeness, accuracy or continued availability of website content, external links, game servers, events or third-party services.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Duffball16 will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss arising from the use of, or inability to use, the website or independent third-party services.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including any mandatory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.
