- Last Updated: September 21, 2026**
Welcome to **The Tech Archivers**. By accessing or using The Tech Archivers website, services, archives, or other resources, you agree to these Terms of Service.
- 1. About The Tech Archivers
The Tech Archivers is a digital archival project dedicated to preserving technology and technology-related history. Our archives may include software, hardware documentation, drivers, utilities, games, arcade games, manuals, photographs, documentation, websites, and other materials related to technology.
Our goal is to preserve historically and technically significant materials for research, education, documentation, and personal historical interest.
- 2. Legal Archiving
The Tech Archivers archives materials to the extent that we can do so legally.
We make reasonable efforts to respect applicable copyright, trademark, intellectual property, licensing, and other applicable laws. The presence of a material within our archives does not necessarily mean that The Tech Archivers owns the material or the intellectual property associated with it.
Where possible, we prefer materials that are legally distributable, publicly available, freely licensed, released into the public domain, provided with permission, or otherwise permitted to be archived and made available.
- 3. Copyright and Ownership
Unless otherwise stated, The Tech Archivers does not claim ownership of third-party software, games, hardware designs, documentation, trademarks, images, or other copyrighted materials contained within the archives.
Copyright and other intellectual property rights remain with their respective owners.
Archived materials may be subject to their original licenses, terms, copyrights, or other restrictions. Users are responsible for determining whether their intended use of an archived material is permitted.
- 4. User Responsibilities
You agree to use The Tech Archivers and its archives in accordance with applicable laws.
You must not use the service to intentionally violate copyright, licensing restrictions, intellectual property rights, or other applicable laws.
If an archived item is subject to a license or other restriction, you are responsible for complying with that license or restriction.
- 5. Preservation Copies
Some materials may be archived for preservation purposes even when the original technology, software, website, service, or distribution method is no longer readily available.
Preservation of a work does not constitute a claim that the work is free of copyright or other restrictions.
The Tech Archivers may maintain copies of materials in formats or locations intended to prevent technological obsolescence and preserve historical information.
- 6. Third Party Materials
The Tech Archivers may contain links to, references to, or materials originating from third parties.
We are not responsible for the content, policies, availability, or practices of third-party websites or services.
Third-party names, trademarks, logos, software, games, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners.
- 7. Submissions
If The Tech Archivers permits users to submit materials, you represent that you have the necessary rights or permission to submit those materials for archival purposes.
By submitting material, you grant The Tech Archivers any permissions reasonably necessary to store, preserve, process, and make the submitted material available according to the purpose of the service.
Do not submit material that you do not have the right to provide.
- 8. Copyright Concerns
If you believe that material available through The Tech Archivers infringes your copyright or other rights, you may contact us with information identifying the material and explaining your concern.
We will review legitimate requests and may remove, restrict, replace, or otherwise modify access to material where appropriate.
A request should include enough information for us to identify the material and understand the basis of the request.
- 9. Availability
The Tech Archivers is provided on an archival and preservation basis. We do not guarantee that any particular material will always be available.
Materials may be moved, replaced, restricted, removed, or reorganized as necessary for legal, technical, preservation, or operational reasons.
We may also discontinue or modify portions of the service at any time.
- 10. Accuracy
We attempt to preserve and describe materials accurately, but archival information may contain errors, incomplete metadata, outdated information, or historical inaccuracies.
The Tech Archivers does not guarantee that all descriptions, dates, versions, compatibility information, or other metadata are complete or accurate.
- 11. No Warranty
The Tech Archivers is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis.
To the extent permitted by law, The Tech Archivers makes no warranties regarding the availability, accuracy, completeness, security, reliability, or suitability of the service or its archived materials.
Users are responsible for determining whether archived software, hardware information, tools, or other materials are appropriate for their intended use.
- 12. Changes to These Terms
These Terms of Service may be updated from time to time.
When changes are made, the updated version will be published on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
Continued use of The Tech Archivers after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

- 14. Our Archival Principle
