01 · Using Level Vanta
Using Level Vanta
1.1 Permitted access
You may access and use Level Vanta for lawful, personal and non-commercial information and enjoyment, subject to these Terms. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the website complies with applicable laws and does not interfere with other visitors' ability to use it. You must not disrupt the website's security, availability or normal operation, including by using it in a way that places an unreasonable burden on its systems. Access to a page does not give you rights beyond the limited use described here.
1.2 Editorial coverage is informational
Level Vanta publishes information and opinion about games, platforms, genres, mechanics, developer updates, releases, reviews, walkthroughs, retro coverage and feature articles. Our coverage is focused on the interests of New Zealand players, but it is not a promise that a game, feature or service is available in New Zealand. Reviews, ratings, recommendations and editor picks are editorial views, not guarantees that a game will suit every player or deliver a particular outcome. Walkthroughs and guides provide general player assistance and may not cover every version, patch, platform or individual situation.
1.3 Availability and updates
We may change, suspend, update or remove content or website functionality when reasonably needed, without prior notice. Article details can change as games, platforms, patches, developer plans and release schedules change. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service, permanent publication of any item, or a fixed timetable for updates. Where practical, we may revise coverage to reflect material developments, but visitors should not assume that every article remains current at all times.
02 · Visitor responsibilities
Visitor responsibilities and prohibited conduct
2.1 Respectful and lawful use
Use the website lawfully and responsibly. If you contact Level Vanta through a page-specific contact route, you are responsible for the material you send or attempt to send. Do not submit, send or distribute content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, discriminatory, misleading, infringing, or invasive of another person's privacy. In particular, you must not:
- Send threats, harassment, hateful material or deliberately false information.
- Share another person's personal information without a lawful basis or permission.
- Impersonate another person or misrepresent the source of a message.
- Use the contact route to distribute unsolicited, infringing or harmful material.
Site protection
2.2 Protect the service
Ordinary personal browsing is welcome. However, you must not attempt to disrupt, overload, probe or bypass the website; reverse engineer its operation; scrape content at scale; introduce malicious code; or gain unauthorised access to the website or related systems. You must not use automated activity in a way that harms availability or defeats reasonable access controls. Level Vanta may take reasonable steps to protect the service and its users when activity appears harmful, unauthorised or inconsistent with these Terms.
2.3 No misleading affiliation
You must not represent that you are associated with, endorsed by, employed by, or acting for Level Vanta unless you have our written permission. This includes using the Level Vanta name or content in a way that creates confusion about source, approval or authority. This behavioural rule applies separately from the ownership rights explained below.
03 · Content ownership
Content ownership and permitted reuse
Ownership
3.1 Ownership of site materials
Level Vanta owns, or uses with permission where applicable, the original text, editorial selection, layout, graphics, branding and other materials created for this website. These Terms do not claim ownership of third-party games, platform brands or developer intellectual property. Game titles, developer names, platform names, logos and related marks may belong to their respective owners. References to them on Level Vanta are made for identification, reporting and editorial discussion and do not transfer any third-party rights to us or to visitors.
3.2 Personal sharing and reference
You may link to Level Vanta pages and share short, attributed excerpts for personal, non-commercial discussion where doing so does not misrepresent the original content or infringe rights. Clear attribution to Level Vanta and a link to the original page should be included where reasonably possible. Sharing under this practical allowance does not transfer ownership or create a broad right to copy our material.
Generally okay
Linking to an article, quoting a short attributed passage, or discussing our coverage with the original source clearly identified.
Permission still required
Republishing substantial content, using it commercially, or presenting our work as though it were your own or officially supplied to you.
3.3 Uses requiring permission
You must obtain prior written permission before reproducing substantial portions of Level Vanta content, republishing material, commercially exploiting it, or creating a misleading derivative use beyond what applicable law permits. You must not remove attribution, copyright notices or other source information. For permission questions or clarification about a proposed reuse, please use the Terms contact route below.
04 · External links
External links, game information and third parties
4.1 Third-party destinations
Level Vanta may link to third-party websites or resources for convenience. We do not control the content, availability, policies, security or practices of those destinations. Choosing to visit an external site is your decision, and its own terms and privacy information may apply. Before using a third-party resource or providing it with information, review the rules and privacy details provided by that destination. A link from Level Vanta does not mean that we control, approve or are responsible for the external site.
4.2 Changing game and platform details
Release windows, availability, platform support, patches, game modes, pricing, ratings, developer plans and regional access can change. They may also differ for New Zealand players. This is relevant to our coverage of upcoming releases, reviews, guides and developer updates. Confirm important information directly with the relevant publisher, developer, platform holder, retailer or official service before making a purchase, relying on compatibility, or planning around a release. Our editorial reporting may help you understand a topic, but it is not a substitute for the latest official details.

4.3 Third-party rights and opinions
Game titles, developer names, platform names and related marks may be owned by their respective owners. Level Vanta's editorial opinions are our own and do not necessarily reflect the views of any publisher, developer, platform holder or other third party. Our coverage should not be read as a statement of official endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or authorisation unless we expressly say so.
05 · Disclaimers and changes
Disclaimers, liability and changes
Availability and accuracy
5.1 No warranty of uninterrupted or error-free content
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Level Vanta provides the website and its content on an “as is” and “as available” basis. In practical terms, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, complete accuracy or error-free operation. Editorial information, guides and release coverage can change, and website availability can be affected by matters beyond our control. We aim to present useful information clearly, but you should use reasonable judgment and confirm important details with official sources rather than assuming every page will be complete, current or available at every moment.
5.2 Limits on liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Level Vanta is not liable for losses arising from use of, inability to use, or reliance on this website or linked third-party resources. This includes practical decisions made from changing game, platform or release information. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful. Your statutory rights, where applicable, are not affected by wording that cannot legally limit them.
5.3 Updates to these Terms
Level Vanta may revise these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page with the current effective date. Please review this page periodically so that you understand the terms that apply to your use. Continued use of the website after an updated version takes effect is subject to the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The current version is identified by the date shown below.
Current effective date: 7 September 2026
