By browsing, accessing, or otherwise interacting with this site, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms and Conditions, our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.

If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you should discontinue your use of this site immediately.

2. User Eligibility

This portal is intended for Australian residents aged 13 years and older. By continuing to use the site, you affirm that:

• you are at least 13 years of age; and
• you are ordinarily resident in Australia; and
• you have the capacity to enter into a binding agreement under Australian law, or you have obtained consent from a parent or legal guardian where required.

If you are under 18, you should review these terms with a parent or guardian to ensure you both understand them.

3. Intellectual Property

All content published on this site, including but not limited to written strategy guides, walkthroughs, deckbuilding advice, databases, editorial features, diagrams, decision trees, hand‑drawn illustrations, design elements, layouts, logos, and the overall look and feel of The Spire Knowledge Archive, is the intellectual property of Game Journalx, The Spire Knowledge Archive, or its respective authors and licensors, unless otherwise indicated.

Content is provided for personal, non‑commercial use only. Nothing in these terms transfers any ownership rights to you. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

4. Use of Site Materials

You are permitted to:

• view and read the content for your own personal entertainment, education, or strategy improvement;
• reference the content in non‑commercial guides, blogs, streams, videos, podcasts, or educational resources; and
• link to pages on this site, including Guides, Walkthroughs, Deckbuilding, Cards, Relics, Bosses, Enemies, Editorial and Database sections, provided that such links are fair and legal.

Where you reference or quote materials from this site for non‑commercial, educational or personal purposes, you must provide clear attribution, for example:

“Strategy reference: Game Journalx – The Spire Knowledge Archive (https://gamejournalx.com)”

You must not, without prior written permission from us or the relevant rights holder:

• copy, reproduce, redistribute, or adapt substantial portions of the site or database for commercial gain;
• sell, license, or otherwise commercially exploit our content, illustrations, tools, or layouts; or
• use automated scraping or harvesting tools to systematically download or mirror our content.

5. Community Guidelines

Where the site allows for comments, feedback, or user‑contributed content, you agree to interact in a respectful and constructive way. In particular, you must not:

• engage in harassing, abusive, hateful, discriminatory, or threatening behaviour;
• post content that is defamatory, obscene, or otherwise unlawful under Australian law;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any entity;
• deliberately disrupt discussions or attempts by others to learn or share strategy; or
• post spam, unauthorised advertising, or promotional material.

We may moderate, edit, or remove user content at our discretion where we consider it to be inconsistent with these guidelines or the purpose of the Archive. Repeated or serious breaches may result in restriction or termination of your ability to interact with community features.

6. Accuracy of Information

The Spire Knowledge Archive is designed as a strategic resource, combining guides, walkthroughs, deckbuilding advice, enemy and boss dossiers, relic catalogues, and editorial analysis. While we make every reasonable effort to provide accurate, current, and thoughtful information, we do not guarantee that:

• all content is complete, up‑to‑date, or suitable for your specific playstyle;
• all strategies will deliver particular results on any given run; or
• all data entries and examples are free from error, omission, or misinterpretation.

Strategy games, including Slay the Spire, involve randomness, balance changes, and personal judgement. You should treat our content as guidance and analysis rather than absolute instructions, and you use it at your own discretion and risk.

7. External Links

The portal may include links to third‑party websites, tools, or community resources relevant to Slay the Spire strategy or broader deckbuilding discussions. These external sites are not under our control, and we are not responsible for:

• the content, accuracy, or availability of any third‑party site;
• any products, services, or offers provided by third parties; or
• any loss or damage you may suffer in connection with your use of those sites.

Inclusion of a link does not imply endorsement, affiliation, or recommendation. You should review the terms and privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Australian law, including the Australian Consumer Law, The Spire Knowledge Archive, Game Journalx, our contributors, and our service providers will not be liable for any:

• indirect, incidental, special, or consequential loss or damage; or
• loss of data, opportunity, reputation, enjoyment, or gameplay outcomes,

arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of this site, its content, or any linked resources, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude, restrict, or modify any non‑excludable consumer guarantees or statutory rights that you may have under Australian law. Where such guarantees apply and cannot be excluded, our liability will, where permitted, be limited to the resupply of the relevant services or the reasonable cost of resupplying them.

9. Amendments to Terms

We may update or amend these Terms and Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in the site, applicable laws, or our operational requirements. When we do so, the updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.

Your continued use of the site after any changes have been published will constitute your acceptance of the revised terms. You are encouraged to review this page periodically to stay informed about how the legal framework for using the Archive may have evolved.
