Copyright Notice

Last updated: May 2026

1. Site content copyright

The Site’s own original content — trust pages, design, code, original imagery, the editorial-style category structure, category descriptions written by us, and any other material we have created — is © 2024–2026 ASK.ME Games. Copyright is asserted under:

  • Italian copyright law (Legge 22 aprile 1941, n. 633).
  • EU copyright framework (Directives 2001/29/EC, 2019/790).
  • U.S. copyright law (17 U.S.C., particularly §§ 102, 106, 512).
  • Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

2. Game content — belongs to the respective developers

The games themselves on the Site are the intellectual property of their respective developers and publishers, licensed to ASK.ME for embedding under standard distribution agreements. ASK.ME does not own the games. See Sources & Attribution.

Each game’s copyright, trademarks, and other intellectual-property rights remain with the developer / publisher. Embedding on ASK.ME does not transfer rights to ASK.ME or to visitors. For any questions about a specific game’s licensing terms, the developer’s own pages are the authoritative source.

3. AI training opt-out — for ASK.ME’s site content

Use of ASK.ME’s own original content for the training, fine-tuning, evaluation, or other development of artificial-intelligence systems, machine-learning models, or large language models is expressly prohibited. The opt-out is asserted under:

  • EU Directive 2019/790, Article 4 — the text-and-data-mining exception explicitly permits rights-holders to reserve their rights against text-and-data mining other than for scientific research purposes by recognized research organizations. Through this notice and the Site’s robots.txt configuration, the rights-holder hereby expressly reserves rights against any use of Site content for AI training. The reservation is made in machine-readable form (robots.txt) and human-readable form (this notice).
  • Italian transposition of the DSM Directive (D.Lgs. 177/2021).
  • U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 106.
  • Italian copyright law L. 633/1941.
  • Equivalent rights in other jurisdictions.

The opt-out applies to:

  • Trust-page text content.
  • Site design and original imagery.
  • Category descriptions written by ASK.ME.
  • Code that we have authored.

Implementation: robots.txt blocks of known AI crawlers including (without limitation) GPTBot, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, CCBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider, FacebookBot, Amazonbot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Diffbot. The list is not exhaustive; the prohibition applies to all AI training crawlers.

Bypass of robots.txt directives, use of undisclosed crawler identities, or other circumvention does not avoid the opt-out. We reserve the right to seek injunctive relief, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees under applicable law.

4. AI training opt-out scope — what it does NOT cover

The opt-out asserted on this page covers ASK.ME’s own content. The games hosted on the Site are governed by the respective developers’ AI-training policies, not by ours. If you are an AI-training operator interested in any specific game, the developer is the rights-holder you should approach. ASK.ME cannot grant or deny AI-training permissions for games we do not own.

5. Permitted uses of Site content

  • Brief fair-use quotation with attribution and a link back to the source page.
  • Personal reading and reference.
  • Linking and referring — anyone may link to any URL on the Site without permission. Linking is encouraged.
  • Academic citation with proper attribution.

6. Uses requiring permission

  • Bulk reproduction of Site content (e.g., entire trust pages on another site).
  • Translation and republication.
  • Commercial use of Site copy beyond fair-use quotation.
  • Use of original Site imagery beyond minor editorial illustration.
  • Use of the “ASK.ME” name and any associated logos / visual identity in third-party sites or products.
  • Re-embedding the games hosted on this Site on third-party sites — the games are licensed to ASK.ME, not for further redistribution.

7. Misuse of Site content

If you become aware of misuse of Site content — bulk reproduction without permission, AI training crawls bypassing robots.txt, deceptive republication suggesting endorsement — please email info [at] askme [punto] rest. We pursue significant violations.

8. DMCA agent

For copyright-infringement notices, contact our designated DMCA agent — details on DMCA. The same channel is used for non-DMCA copyright takedown requests under EU and Italian copyright law.

9. Limitation

This Copyright Notice does not waive any rights not expressly granted. The absence of a specific assertion does not constitute permission. Where uncertain, ask before using.
