Welcome to Dreadnought.work (“I”, “me”, “my”, or the “Site”). These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of this Site, including all software downloads, documentation, emulator files, ISO files, media, and other related content provided. By using this Site or downloading any content, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you disagree with any part, do not use the Site or its services.


1. Legal Use & User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of this Site, and any files downloaded from it, complies with all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws, including but not limited to copyright law, software licensing restrictions, and computer security regulations.

This Site is based in and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Colorado. All disputes, legal matters, and proceedings arising from or related to this Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of Colorado.

I do not encourage, promote, or condone piracy or illegal activity. Emulator files may be legally used under certain fair use doctrines, while ROMs, ISOs, and game files may be protected by copyright and are not to be downloaded, used, or distributed unless you legally own the original media. You acknowledge this responsibility is entirely yours.


2. Content Disclaimer

The files provided on this Site, including but not limited to software, emulators, game ISOs, scripts, and configuration files, are offered as-is, without warranty or guarantee of fitness, safety, legality, or functionality.

I do not author or modify many of the files shared here, and I cannot guarantee that:

  • They function correctly

  • They are free from viruses, malware, ransomware, or other harmful code

  • They will not damage your system or data

You download and use files entirely at your own risk.


3. No Liability for Harm

I disclaim all liability for any:

  • Loss of data

  • Corruption of files or software

  • Hardware damage

  • Malware infections

  • Bricked systems

  • Legal issues or takedown notices

  • Emotional distress

  • Monetary loss or damages

By using this Site, you agree to hold me harmless from any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including attorney’s fees, that arise from your use or misuse of anything downloaded or referenced here.


4. Anti-Abuse & Download Fair Use Policy

To protect my infrastructure and community, you agree not to:

  • Abuse download bandwidth via bots, scrapers, or mass-download tools

  • Hotlink files from third-party sites

  • Mirror or redistribute the files as your own

  • Use automated methods to hammer or stress the server

  • Attempt to reverse-engineer or inject malicious code into the system

Violations may result in your IP being blocked, downloads disabled, and relevant authorities contacted.


5. Third-Party Content & External Sources

Many downloads and files linked or hosted on this Site are sourced from third-party repositories, users, communities, or mirrors. I do not have control over the origin, integrity, or legality of those files.

You acknowledge that:

  • I do not verify or validate the legality of every file

  • I am not the original creator or copyright holder

  • Files may be removed without notice due to DMCA requests or abuse reports


6. Virus and Malware Risk

Despite any virus scans (including those posted from VirusTotal or similar tools), I make no guarantees that any file is clean or safe. Threats can go undetected or be falsely flagged.

You should always:

  • Use updated antivirus software

  • Test in isolated environments (e.g. virtual machines)

  • Scan downloads yourself

  • Monitor your system after using unfamiliar files

You accept the inherent risk of working with unknown binaries.


7. DMCA & Takedown Requests

  • A statement that you have good-faith belief the use is not authorized

  • A statement under penalty of perjury of the accuracy of the notice

I will act promptly to remove the allegedly infringing material.


8. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless me and any associated domains, servers, hosting environments, or content from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising out of your:

  • Violation of these Terms

  • Use of any files or software downloaded here

  • Violation of third-party rights (including intellectual property)

  • Conduct that causes harm to another user or system


9. Arbitration & Governing Law

All legal disputes will be resolved under the laws of the State of Colorado, governed also by the Federal Arbitration Act. You agree to binding, individual arbitration in the event of disputes, waiving the right to a jury trial or class action.

Venue for any permitted court actions shall reside exclusively in Colorado state or federal courts.


10. Modifications to Terms

These Terms may be updated at any time without notice. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.


11. Final Disclaimer

This Site exists for educational, archival, and preservation purposes only. Nothing here should be interpreted as encouragement to break the law or infringe copyright. I am a strong advocate of open-source development, digital freedom, and user empowerment.

But remember: you are fully responsible for what you download and how you use it.
