Terms of Use

Last updated: June 22, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of Empire Investor (“the app”, “we”, “us”). By downloading or using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.

Summary

Empire Investor is a fictional idle investment simulation for entertainment only.
Virtual cash, portfolios and markets are not real money or securities.
No account is required; progress is stored locally on your device.
Optional ads and future in-app purchases may be subject to additional platform terms.

Eligibility

You must be able to form a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the app. The app is not directed at children under 13. If you are under the age required in your country to consent to online services, you may use the app only with a parent or guardian’s permission.

Entertainment only — not financial advice

All currencies, investments, companies, news and market activity in Empire Investor are simulated and fictional. Nothing in the app constitutes investment, tax or legal advice. Past performance in the game does not predict real-world results. Do not make real financial decisions based on gameplay.

License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app on Apple devices you own or control, solely for personal entertainment in accordance with these Terms and the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, sell, rent or exploit the app except as permitted by law or with our written consent.

Game progress and virtual items

In-game cash, holdings, levels, journal goals, rewards and other virtual items have no real-world monetary value. They cannot be exchanged for money or goods outside the app. We may adjust game balance, features or content in updates without liability to you.

Progress is stored on your device. You are responsible for backups and for not deleting the app if you wish to keep your save. We are not obligated to restore lost progress.

Advertising and optional purchases

The app may offer optional rewarded video ads and, after extended time away, interstitial ads served by Google AdMob. Watching ads is voluntary unless required by a feature you choose to use. Ad serving is also subject to Google’s terms and your consent choices where applicable. See our Privacy Policy for how ad partners may process data.

If in-app purchases are offered, they are processed by Apple. Refunds and billing disputes are handled under Apple’s policies.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Use the app for any unlawful purpose
Attempt to cheat, automate play in unauthorized ways or interfere with app operation
Upload malware or attempt unauthorized access to our systems
Impersonate others or harass support staff

Intellectual property

The app, including art, text, software, trademarks and game design, is owned by the developer or licensors and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights.

Disclaimer of warranties

The app is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data or goodwill arising from your use of the app. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app shall not exceed the greater of (a) amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or (b) USD $10.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Termination

You may stop using the app at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or discontinue the app or any feature with reasonable notice where practicable. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

Changes

We may update these Terms when the app or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date shows the latest revision. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Norway, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country require otherwise.
