Terms of Service

By accessing or using Canontrails, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you may not use the service.

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses the site — with or without an account. We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.

Canontrails provides a curated database of game series play orders, DLC placement guides, playtime estimates, and purchase links. The service is provided free of charge.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any such modifications.

Some features (game lists, ratings, community contributions) require an account. Account features are not yet available but are planned.

You agree to use Canontrails for lawful purposes only. The following are strictly prohibited:

— Attempting to gain unauthorized access to our systems, database, or infrastructure.

— Scraping or bulk-downloading content for commercial use without prior written permission.

— Using automated tools to artificially inflate affiliate link clicks or manipulate any metrics.

— Uploading or transmitting any malicious code, spam, or content that violates applicable law.

— Impersonating Canontrails, its staff, or other users.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for any user who violates these terms.

The Canontrails name, logo, original written descriptions, timeline mappings, and site design are our intellectual property and may not be reproduced without permission.

Game titles, characters, cover art, and related trademarks are the property of their respective developers and publishers. We display these assets under fair use principles for archival, educational, and informational purposes.

We do not claim ownership over any third-party game content. If you are a rights holder and believe we are displaying your content inappropriately, contact us through our support page.

Canontrails includes affiliate links to third-party storefronts (Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and others). When you purchase a game through one of these links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence our canonical play order recommendations, DLC placement, or any editorial decisions. We link to the most relevant storefront for each game regardless of commission rates.

We are transparent about this: affiliate revenue helps fund the infrastructure and development of the site.

We strive for accuracy in our play order recommendations, DLC placement guides, and playtime data. However, canonical orders are often subjective, debated by communities, or revised as new games release.

Playtime data is sourced from HowLongToBeat and represents community averages. Your experience will vary.

We make no guarantee that all information on Canontrails is complete, current, or error-free. Always consult multiple sources before making purchasing decisions.

Canontrails links to third-party storefronts and may reference external services. We have no control over the content or practices of these third parties and are not responsible for their terms, privacy policies, or actions.

Clicking an affiliate link will take you to a third-party site governed by that site's own terms of service.

Canontrails is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

We are not liable for any decisions — including game purchases — made based on information found on Canontrails. Play order recommendations are editorial opinions, not guarantees.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Canontrails and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service.

Our total liability for any claims arising out of or relating to these terms or the service shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (which for free users is zero).

These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law. Any disputes arising from these terms or your use of Canontrails shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the applicable jurisdiction.

If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
