Agreement and site identity
These Terms of Use apply to ark-survivalevolved.com (the “Site”), an independent editorial reference about ARK: Survival Evolved. By using the Site you agree to these terms. The Site is not affiliated with or endorsed by Studio Wildcard, Snail Games, Valve or platform publishers. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.
Licence to use the Site
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to access public pages for personal, non-commercial reference: reading, bookmarking and linking with normal browser tools. You may not:
- scrape, mirror or mass-download the Site in a way that overloads hosting or misrepresents the content as your own product
- impersonate an official ARK, Studio Wildcard, Snail Games or platform service
- introduce malware, attempt unauthorised access or interfere with Site availability
- use the contact address for spam, phishing or bulk unsolicited mail
- sell, rent or pass off Site pages as an official store, launcher, account recovery service or server admin panel
Display of game names, characters, trademarks or promotional artwork does not transfer any licence to reuse those materials outside ordinary browser viewing of this Site.
Site content and our materials
Guide text, page structure, selection of sources and original editorial notes on this Site are provided for reference. Unless a separate notice says otherwise, you may quote short passages with attribution and a link back to the relevant page. Do not republish whole guides as your own work. Fonts bundled with the Site remain under their own licences (see About).
What this Site does not provide
The Site does not sell games, distribute game clients or save files, recover accounts, process payments, host multiplayer servers or provide official customer support. Product purchases, refunds and account issues remain with the storefront or publisher that sold the game.
Availability and changes
Pages may be updated, reorganised or withdrawn as research is revised. We may change hosting, language editions or features without prior notice. Temporary downtime, broken external links or incomplete mirrors can occur. Continued use after a posted update to these terms constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. The update date appears at the top of this page.
Privacy and third-party services
Personal data handling is described in the Privacy Policy. Links to Steam, community wikis and other external services are references only; those operators control their own terms, prices and accounts. Advertising, if enabled later under the Privacy Policy, does not change the independence statement above.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Site and its operator are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses arising from use of the guides, reliance on summarised mechanics, or inability to access the Site. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. Gameplay outcomes depend on your client version, mods, server settings and decisions you make in-game; see also the Disclaimer.
