2. Nature of Directory & Editorial Services

British Hardtide Pulse operates solely as an independent editorial informational directory, benchmark reviewer, and curator of digital browser-based video games, massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), and WebGL interactive software.

Our services encompass:

• Cataloging publicly available free-to-play web titles;
• Providing technical performance analyses, hardware requirement overviews, and gameplay overviews;
• Providing outbound hyperlinks connecting users directly to official game publishers and developer platforms.

We do not host executable game files on our internal web servers, nor do we act as game publishers, server administrators, or payment processors for any third-party titles cataloged.

3. Third-Party Games and External Links

When you click an outbound link such as "Play Now", you are directed to an external website maintained by an independent third-party game developer or publishing entity. We have no direct control over the operational policies, user agreements, in-game economies, or terms of third-party platforms.

You acknowledge and agree that British Hardtide Pulse Ltd is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any external game content, digital assets, or services available on third-party domains.
