1. Our Services
CoolGamingNews.com covers gaming news, rumors, release dates, previews, reviews, guides (including tips, legit cheat codes, console commands,
and walkthroughs), and coverage of gaming hardware and accessories for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. We may also feature roundups of physical
gaming products (e.g., controllers, headsets, collectibles) and share official screenshots and update notes for popular titles.
Our Services are intended for general information and entertainment. They are not tailored to comply with industry-specific rules
(e.g., HIPAA, FISMA, GLBA). Access from other jurisdictions is at your own initiative and you are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.
2. Intellectual Property Rights

We own or license all intellectual property in the Services, including the site design, code, databases, features, text, images, video, audio, graphics, and trademarks/service marks (the “Content” and “Marks”). Content and Marks are protected worldwide by IP and unfair-competition laws. We provide Content “as is” for your personal, non-commercial use.
Your license. Subject to these Legal Terms, we grant you a limited, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services and download/print portions of Content for personal, non-commercial use only. Any other use (e.g., reproduction, distribution, public display, scraping, or derivative works) requires our prior written consent.
