Terms of service

Publisher and scope

This website is published by Relay Lantern Publishing Ltd, registered address Unit 6, Vesper Yard, 28 Haldenwick Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6QJ, United Kingdom. Enquiries may be sent to [email protected]. The site provides independent commentary on cyberpunk games, film, anime, books, style, music and related themes.

By using the website, you agree to use it in accordance with these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please discontinue use. The privacy policy and cookie policy explain information handling and browser storage separately.

Editorial information

Articles are general editorial material, not professional, legal, financial, medical or security advice. Comparisons reflect stated criteria and interpretative judgement rather than a guarantee that a work or product will suit every reader. Game requirements, accessibility features, editions, classifications and distribution arrangements should be checked with the relevant official source before relying on them.

The publisher may correct, expand or remove material. Reasonable care is taken in presenting information, but completeness, uninterrupted access and freedom from error are not guaranteed. A description of fictional technology should not be treated as instructions for a real-world technical or safety decision.

Permitted use and your obligations

You may read, link to and make reasonable personal use of the website. You must not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, impersonate another person or use contact facilities to send unlawful, abusive or misleading material. Automated access must not impose a disruptive load or bypass technical access controls.

When reporting a correction or submitting an enquiry, provide information you are entitled to share. Do not disclose confidential material, private details about other people or content that infringes another party’s rights. You remain responsible for the content of messages you choose to send.

Intellectual property and submissions

Original site copy, design and other protected material belong to the publisher or their respective rights holders. Third-party titles and names are used for identification and commentary. Their inclusion does not imply affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement, and no licence to use a third party’s intellectual property is granted.

Reproduction, republication or commercial reuse requires permission unless a statutory exception applies. Reasonable quotation must respect applicable law and acknowledge its source. For permission enquiries, identify the material, intended use and proposed distribution. Sending a suggestion does not transfer ownership of your message or require the publisher to publish it. Please obtain agreement before sending commissioned or confidential material.

Links, availability and termination

External links provide additional context. The publisher does not control external services and is not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices or transactions. Follow their own terms when using them. This site does not process purchases for the works it discusses.

The publisher may suspend access, restrict abusive traffic or discontinue a feature where reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance or protection of the service. Access may be terminated for a material breach of these terms. Restrictions will not remove rights or obligations that should continue by their nature, including intellectual property rights and applicable dispute provisions.

Liability

To the extent permitted by law, the publisher is not liable for losses arising from reliance on general editorial information, external services or interruptions outside its reasonable control. Business users are responsible for assessing material before making commercial decisions. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory right a consumer has to bring proceedings in another competent court or rely on protections in their place of residence. Please contact the publisher first with a clear description of a dispute and the outcome sought so that an informal resolution can be considered.

If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue so far as legally possible. Changes to these terms will be published on this page and apply prospectively, without removing rights already accrued.
