Copyright & Image Use

Last updated: 3 June 2026

This page explains how QWAYL uses written content, images, screenshots, artwork, trailers, videos, and other media on https://qwayl.com.

We are a gaming review and editorial website. Our articles, reviews, features, and opinions are written by us. We use images and embedded media only where they are relevant to the article, review, discussion, criticism, commentary, or reporting on the subject.

We do not use third-party images simply to decorate the site.

1. Our written content

Unless otherwise stated, the written content on this website is original to QWAYL.

This includes our:

  • reviews;
  • articles;
  • features;
  • opinion pieces;
  • guides;
  • headlines;
  • summaries;
  • scoring text;
  • editorial commentary.

You may read our content and share links to our pages.

You may quote short excerpts with appropriate credit and a link back to the original page. You may not copy, republish, scrape, sell, or reproduce substantial parts of our content without our permission.

2. Use of AI tools

Our articles are written by people.

We do not use AI tools to write our articles, reviews, or editorial opinions for us. We may use AI tools to help check spelling, grammar, clarity, or formatting, but the substance, judgement, opinions, and final wording of our editorial content are our own.

3. Images, screenshots, and game artwork

Some articles may include images such as:

  • game screenshots;
  • official promotional images;
  • key art;
  • box art;
  • logos;
  • press materials;
  • storefront images;
  • publisher or developer assets;
  • stills or images used to identify or discuss a game, product, platform, or event.

These images remain the property of their respective copyright owners.

Where we use third-party images, we do so for purposes such as review, criticism, commentary, reporting, identification, illustration, or discussion. We use them only where they are relevant to the article and help readers understand what is being reviewed or discussed.

We aim to use only the amount of third-party material that is reasonably necessary for the purpose of the article.

4. Fair dealing, fair use, and editorial use

Our use of third-party images and media is intended to fall within fair dealing, fair use, or other applicable copyright exceptions, depending on the laws that apply.

This may include use for:

  • criticism and review;
  • quotation;
  • news reporting;
  • commentary;
  • editorial discussion;
  • identification of a game, publisher, developer, platform, or product.

We do not claim ownership of third-party images, artwork, screenshots, logos, trailers, videos, or other materials.

Where practical, we try to provide attribution, credit, or context for third-party materials. However, some game screenshots, trailers, logos, artwork, and promotional assets are commonly distributed by publishers, developers, platforms, or press channels for editorial coverage.

5. YouTube embeds and video content

Some pages may include embedded videos from YouTube, such as trailers, gameplay footage, developer videos, interviews, or other relevant video material.

These videos are hosted by YouTube and remain under the control of the original uploader and YouTube. We do not claim ownership of embedded YouTube videos.

If a YouTube video is removed, made private, restricted, or changed by the uploader or YouTube, it may stop appearing correctly on our site.

Embedded videos are subject to YouTube’s own terms, copyright rules, and privacy practices.

6. Trademarks and brand names

Game titles, publisher names, developer names, console names, platform names, logos, and other trademarks mentioned on this website belong to their respective owners.

Use of these names, logos, or trademarks does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership, or affiliation unless we clearly state otherwise.

7. Press materials and review assets

From time to time, we may use materials made available through press kits, review guides, media portals, publisher websites, developer websites, storefront listings, trailers, or official promotional channels.

We use these materials for editorial purposes only.

If specific usage terms are provided with press materials, we aim to follow those terms where they are known to us.
