In the event of an inconsistency between these Terms and any additional posted conditions, the provisions of the additional conditions shall control.

You will not be able to opt out of receiving these messages. You also understand that our Services may include advertisements.

Content On Our Site

Our site includes a combination of public domain content, custom copyrighted content and content that our users create. All materials published on our site, including, but not limited to, written content, files, photographs, graphics, images, illustrations, marks and logos are protected by our copyrights or trademarks or those of our users. You may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce, create derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display or in any way exploit any of the materials or content or our site in whole or in part.

You are solely responsible for all materials, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available on our site ("Your Content"). You certify that you own all intellectual property rights in Your Content. You hereby grant us a worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, nonexclusive, sub-licensable license to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, transfer, transmit, distribute and publish Your Content and subsequent versions of Your Content for the purposes of (i) displaying Your Content on our site, (ii) distributing Your Content, either electronically or via other media, to users seeking to download or otherwise acquire it, and/or (iii) storing Your Content in a remote database accessible by end users. This license shall apply to the distribution and the storage of Your Content in any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of the content on our site. You may not rely on any of this content, including, but not limited to, cheats, trainers, walkthroughs, FAQs, guides, hints, easter eggs, savegames, Action Replay codes and X-Box saves. Without limitation, we are not responsible for postings by users in the user comment or public profile area of our site. Our site also may contain information about products and services offered by third parties, including product specifications, pricing, availability, performance and editorial commentary. You may be exposed to content that you find offensive, indecent, objectionable or that is inaccurate and you bear all risks associated with using that content. We have the right, but not the obligation, to remove any content that may, in our sole discretion, violate these Terms or that is otherwise objectionable.

Your Use of Third Party Sites

Our site contains links to other Internet sites owned by third parties. Your use of each of those sites is subject to the conditions, if any, that each of those sites has posted. We have no control over sites that are not ours and we are not responsible for any changes to or content on them. Our inclusion on our site of any third party content or a link to a third party site is not an endorsement of that content or third party site.

We do not sell, resell or license any of the products or services that we review or list on our site, and we disclaim any responsibility for or liability related to them. Your correspondence or related activities with third parties, including payment transactions and goods delivery transactions, are solely between you and that third party. You agree that we will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any of your transactions with third parties. Any questions, complaints or claims related to any product or service should be directed to the appropriate vendor.

Cheat Happens Fee-Based Services

Some of the Services require you to pay a fee, as described in the specific conditions included where those Services are offered. You agree to pay all fees and charges that you incur. Unless otherwise noted, all currency references are in U.S. dollars. We may, upon notice if required by applicable laws, at any time change the amount of, or basis for determining, any fee or charge, or institute new fees or charges. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or charge becomes payable. "Lifetime Membership", as is offered by our website is good for the lifetime of the website and not the lifetime of the subscriber. No refunds or partial refunds will be given should the website cease operations or become unable to provide content updates for any reason. Some files on our site, specifically those for titles that have required more than 20 (twenty) updated trainers during their lifetime, require a LIFETIME membership in order to download. These files are clearly marked on the website.

Some of the content on our site is restricted to only those that subscribe to our fee-based membership. You agree not to share this content with other sites or users, specifically those that have been marked "CUSTOMIZED" for your account. These files have encrypted information that can be traced back to the originating user. Violation of this policy will result in your account being deactivated without refund.

Cheat Happens is a Software as a Service Company. Cheat Happens offers two different types of personalized software downloads, those that are purchased individually and those that are downloaded via a membership. Beginning on January 1, 2019, an active (non-expired) membership will be required for personalized trainers to continue to function. The only exceptions to this are those trainers that were purchased individually and/or those people that are eligible to download an offline key. Once a membership expires, all trainers will become disabled and will be unable to authenticate online until the membership is renewed or brought back to active status. Once that happens, previously banned trainers will work again.

Some "CUSTOMIZED" trainers require an Internet connection in order to validate the file's authenticity. No information, personal or otherwise, is sent to or collected by Cheat Happens during this process. Files created for users that have been banned for violating our Terms of Service will fail the authenticity check and no longer function.

Refunds are not granted once personalized software has been downloaded.

The use of cheats and/or trainers are done so at your own risk. If you attempt to use these cheats or trainers online or in a multiplayer environment, you may have your account banned from using that game any further. We have no control over whether or not bans are issued for the use of any of our products. We test all products using our own accounts and if we find the possibility of being banned or are banned then we will simply not release the cheat. It's possible that game publishers add checks to the game in updates after release that can detect cheats that have been used or are being used and can issue a ban if they so choose. Ultimately you are cheating the game and take responsibility for the consequences that those cheats may have on your game or gaming accounts. We do not make cheats for online or multiplayer games and never have. We ALWAYS suggest the use of our cheats and trainers OFFLINE ONLY. If we determine that users are being banned by the use of our products then we will discontinue the download and/or updating of those products in order to prevent any further bans from using our software.

If any game developer or publisher wishes to have our cheats for their game(s) removed from our site, please contact chris@cheathappens.com and it will be done immediately without question. We are not here to harm or interfere with the online or multiplayer aspects of any game, simply trying to enhance the single player experience for those that may not be able to get the full benefit out of the game otherwise. Our cheats do not circumvent any copy protection that the games employ or allow users to play the games without purchase. Our cheats do not make any changes to the game's executable or game files, only modifying shared windows memory space used by the game and MS Windows itself.
