Terms of service

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you play Junkyard Empire, a game made and published by Brass Moth Ltd ("Brass Moth", "we", "us"), a company registered in England and Wales. By playing the game you agree to them. How we handle your information is explained in our privacy notice.

If you are under 18, please read these terms with a parent or guardian.

2. Who can play

Junkyard Empire is for players aged 13 and over. You sign in with Google Play Games, and your account belongs to you alone: please don't share it, sell it or use someone else's. Keeping your Google account secure keeps your game secure.

3. Your account and your progress

Your progress is kept on our servers, so it is safe if you lose or change your phone. We look after it carefully, but no online service can promise that nothing will ever go wrong. If something goes wrong on our side, contact us and we will put it right where we can.

You can delete your account at any time, from inside the game or on our account deletion page. Deleting an account removes its progress and anything bought for it, and cannot be undone.

4. Virtual items and currency

Gems, cash, items, decorations and everything else in the game are virtual. When you earn or buy them, you get a personal right to use them in Junkyard Empire. They have no value outside the game and cannot be exchanged for money, sold, or transferred to another player or account.

We keep the game fair and fun by adjusting it over time, and that can change how virtual items work or what they are worth in the game. Lots contain random items: the game shows the odds before you buy one.

5. Purchases

Purchases are made through Google Play, and Google's terms and refund policy apply to the payment. The price is shown before you confirm.

What you buy is delivered to your account straight away. Under UK consumer law you have 14 days to cancel a purchase of digital content, but that right ends once the content has been delivered with your agreement, which is what happens when you confirm a purchase. This does not affect your other legal rights: if something you bought does not arrive or does not work as described, use Restore purchases in the game's settings or contact us, and we will fix it or refund you.

6. Adverts

The game offers optional rewarded adverts supplied by Google AdMob. Watching one is always your choice. The reward arrives once our server has confirmed the advert was watched, and how often adverts are available can vary.

7. Clubs and chat

Club chat is for everyone who plays, so be kind. Do not post anything that:

• harasses, bullies, threatens or insults anyone;
• is hateful, sexual, violent or otherwise offensive;
• shares anyone's personal details or contact information, including your own;
• impersonates someone else, including Brass Moth staff;
• advertises, spams, or offers to buy, sell or trade accounts or items for money.

Messages are checked automatically, and players can report messages. We may hide messages, pause someone's chat, or remove players from clubs or from chat. You can see any decision about your chat, and ask us to review it, under Chat decisions in your club's options.

8. Fair play

Please don't cheat. That includes modifying the game, using bots or automation, exploiting bugs, using several accounts to gain an advantage, or interfering with our servers or other players. The game checks that it is genuine and was installed from Google Play.

If someone breaks these rules, we may take back what they gained, restrict features, or suspend or close their account. Where we can, we will tell you why, and you can ask us to look at the decision again.

9. Changes to the game and these terms

We update Junkyard Empire regularly. Features may be added, changed or removed, and the game needs an internet connection and may sometimes be unavailable. If we ever close the game, we will give at least 30 days' notice in the game.

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we will say so in the game before it applies. The date these terms were last updated is at the top of this page.

10. Our responsibility to you

If we break these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that was a foreseeable result of our breach or of our failing to use reasonable care. We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable. Nothing in these terms limits our liability where the law does not allow it to be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud. Your legal rights as a consumer are not affected.

11. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings there. If you live elsewhere, you keep any protection the law of your own country gives you as a consumer.
