Terms of Use of the AThEME Site
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern access to and use of the website located at atheme.eu (the “Site”). “Company,” “Administration,” “We,” or “Us” refers to the Site operator; “User” or “You” means any person accessing or using the Site; “Services” means the information, reviews, rankings, news, and related features we make available.
Our Privacy Policy (including cookie practices) is incorporated by reference and forms part of these Terms. By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms as updated from time to time.
Description of Services; No Gaming Operator
The Site provides informational content, including reviews, ratings, comparisons, guides, and news about legally operated gambling services. We do not accept bets or payments, do not provide gambling services, and are not a gaming operator or financial intermediary. No content constitutes an offer to provide gambling products or financial services.
Editorial content is prepared with care according to disclosed methodologies and criteria. Opinions are informational only and do not constitute financial, legal, or professional advice. Users should verify third-party terms and consider whether any offer is suitable to their personal circumstances before engaging with an operator.
Age Restrictions and Compliance with Local Laws (Austria, Germany, Switzerland)
Access to gambling-related materials is intended only for persons aged 18+ or the higher minimum age required by their local law. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age threshold.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that viewing content and interacting with any third-party offers is lawful in your location. Where access to such materials is prohibited in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland, you must not use the Site for those purposes.
Geographic Availability of Offers; No Warranty of Access
Third-party offers, bonuses, and links may depend on your location, the licensing status of operators, and time-sensitive criteria. Availability, eligibility, and terms can change without notice, and certain options may be restricted under local rules in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland.
We do not guarantee that any operator, bonus, payment option, or feature will be available in your region. You must review the current terms, eligibility rules, and restrictions published by each operator before participating.
Affiliate Disclosure and How We Earn
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you register, deposit, or complete other qualifying actions with a third-party operator, the Site may receive a commission at no extra cost to you.
Commercial relationships do not determine the substance of our review criteria or the order of rankings. We aim to separate commercial arrangements from editorial assessments and to disclose material relationships where appropriate.
User Accounts and User-Generated Content
If accounts, comments, forums, or reviews are available, you are responsible for your submissions and login credentials. You must not post unlawful, defamatory, harassing, obscene, misleading, or otherwise harmful content; content that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights; or content that violates any applicable law.
We may moderate, edit, or remove content at our discretion and may suspend access for violations. By submitting content, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, display, distribute, and adapt the content for operating, promoting, and archiving the Site. Notices regarding alleged infringements may be sent as described below.
Prohibited Activities
Users must not engage in activities including, without limitation, systematic data harvesting or scraping; probing, scanning, or testing vulnerabilities; reverse-engineering Site software where restricted by law; distributing malware; sending spam or abusive messages; impersonation; or attempting to circumvent technical protection measures.
Commercial exploitation of Site materials—including building competing databases or services—requires prior written consent. We may suspend or block access immediately if prohibited conduct is detected or reasonably suspected.
Intellectual Property Rights
All Site materials—including text, reviews, rankings, compilations, databases, logos, designs, and software—are owned by the Company or our licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Any reproduction, republication, redistribution, or creation of derivative works requires our prior written consent. You must not remove or alter copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices.
Links to Third-Party Sites; Operator Terms
The Site may link to third-party websites, offers, or promotions. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, terms, KYC/verification processes, wagering requirements, limits, self-exclusion tools, or privacy/security practices.
By following a link, you agree to review and accept the applicable operator’s terms and policies. All disputes or issues relating to third-party services must be addressed directly with the relevant operator.
Responsible Gambling
Our materials do not encourage gambling. If you choose to engage with gambling services, consider setting personal limits, taking breaks, and using self-exclusion mechanisms offered by licensed operators.
Information and helplines for support—such as national regulators, counseling services, and non-profits—are adapted to Users located in Austria, Germany, or Switzerland. Please consult the resources made available by licensed operators and competent authorities in your jurisdiction.
Disclaimer of Warranties (“As Is”)
The Site and all materials are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant accuracy, timeliness, completeness, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or error-free operation.
You use the Site at your own risk, including any financial loss incurred through interactions with third-party operators.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages; loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill; or damages arising from or related to access to or use of the Site, links, or materials, or from changes to or suspension of the Services.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, including mandatory consumer protection rules.
Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, infringement of intellectual property or other rights, or unlawful use of the Site and any content you submit.
Privacy and Cookies
Our processing of personal data and use of cookies are described in the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which are incorporated into these Terms. By using the Site, you consent to data processing and cookie usage consistent with applicable laws.
Notices and consent mechanisms may be adapted for Users located in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland to reflect local requirements.
Changes to the Terms; Suspension and Termination
We may modify these Terms by posting an updated version on atheme.eu/terms-of-use/ with an updated “Last updated” date. Unless otherwise stated, changes take effect upon posting. Continued use of the Site after changes signifies acceptance.
We may suspend or terminate access, in whole or in part, if we reasonably believe a violation has occurred, to protect Users or the integrity of the Services, or to comply with legal obligations.
Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and any non-contractual obligations arising out of them are governed by the laws of the country where the Company is established, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protection rules of the User’s habitual residence (including Austria, Germany, or Switzerland).
Subject to such mandatory rules, disputes shall be submitted to the competent courts at the Company’s registered seat. Where consumer forum or choice-of-law protections apply, Users may have the right to bring claims before the courts of their residence.
Dispute Resolution
Before initiating proceedings, please contact us at [email protected] to attempt an amicable resolution. If unresolved, disputes may be brought before the competent courts as described above or, where permitted and mutually agreed, resolved by arbitration.
Time limits for bringing claims shall be the minimum permitted by applicable law. Any class or collective action waiver applies only to the extent allowed in the relevant jurisdiction and does not limit statutory consumer rights.
Assignment; Severability; No Waiver; Entire Agreement
We may assign or transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor (for example, in a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer). You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right does not constitute a waiver. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Site.
