Terms of Service
Last updated: 14 September 2026
These terms are the agreement between you and Furman Studios ("we", "us") about your use of Aurakeeper (the "Game") and this website. They're written to be read, so they're short.
The short version: The Game is free. Gems are an optional purchase made through Apple, they're consumed inside the Game, and they have no cash value. Don't cheat, don't break the Game, and don't use someone else's account. We provide the Game as is, and either of us can walk away.
1. Accepting these terms
By downloading, opening or playing Aurakeeper, or by using this website, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't play. If you're under the age of majority where you live, you may only play with a parent or guardian's permission — and the Game is not directed to children under 13.
2. The Game
Aurakeeper is a single-player creature-collection base-builder for iPhone with some connected features: cloud saves, a shared map where other players' villages appear, friends, and an arena. It is free to download and free to play through.
The Game is under active development. Content, balance, prices and features can change, and connected features depend on our servers, which we may take down for maintenance or retire. We don't promise the Game will be available without interruption, or forever.
3. Your account
You can play anonymously — the Game creates a silent account on your device so your progress can sync. You can claim that account with an email address so your realm follows you to a new phone.
- Keep your account details to yourself. Anything done through your account is your responsibility.
- One person, one account. Don't sign in to an account that isn't yours.
- Pick a keeper name other players won't mind seeing: no impersonation, no slurs, nothing obscene or hateful. We may reset a name that breaks this.
- Accounts, saves, gems and items are licensed to you for use in the Game. They are not property, they can't be sold, traded or transferred outside the Game, and they don't survive the Game.
- You can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account in the Game, or by emailing us.
4. Fair play
Play the Game the way it was built. Don't:
- modify, decompile or reverse-engineer the Game, or tamper with its save files or network traffic;
- use bots, automation, memory editors, modified clients or exploits to gain resources, gems or progress;
- abuse a bug instead of reporting it — tell us at support@aurakeeper.com;
- attack, overload or probe our servers, or try to reach data that isn't yours;
- buy, sell or advertise accounts, gems or items;
- harass other players through any feature that reaches them.
We may remove wrongly-obtained gems, items or progress, and we may suspend or close an account that breaks these rules.
5. Gems and purchases
Gems are the Game's premium currency. You never need to buy them to play.
- Apple handles the money. Gem purchases are in-app purchases made through the App Store, under your agreement with Apple. We never see your payment details.
- Gems are consumable. They're credited to your account once Apple's receipt is verified, and they're spent inside the Game. Because they're consumed, there is nothing to "restore" — a re-install signs back into your account and the gems you still hold come with it. (Settings → Restore purchases re-checks our ledger if something went missing.)
- Purchases are final. All sales are final except where refunds are required by law. Refunds are Apple's to give: request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something went wrong on our side, write to us and we'll try to make it right.
- No cash value. Gems and everything bought with them are a limited licence to use virtual items in the Game. They have no monetary value, can't be exchanged for money, goods or anything outside the Game, and are not refundable by us.
- Prices can change, and offers can end. What you have already bought is unaffected.
- If your account is closed for breaking these terms, or if the Game is retired, unspent gems and unused items are forfeited without refund, to the extent the law allows.
6. What other players see
Connected features show some of your game to other players: your keeper name, town level, arena standing and village layout are visible to signed-in players who visit your village. Our Privacy Policy sets out exactly what is shared.
7. Our content
The Game — its code, art, music, creatures, writing and name — belongs to Furman Studios and its licensors. You get a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to play it on devices you own. Everything else is reserved. You're welcome to stream, record and share screenshots and videos of your own play, including monetised ones.
8. Disclaimers
The Game and this website are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that saves and progress will never be lost. Some jurisdictions don't allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to you only as far as the law allows.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Furman Studios is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost progress, lost data or lost virtual items. Our total liability arising out of the Game or these terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for in-app purchases in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) US$50. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Ending it
You can stop at any time: delete your account from Settings → Delete account, and delete the app. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or if we retire the Game or a feature. Sections 5 (no cash value), 7, 8, 9 and 12 survive.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes may be announced in the Game. Continuing to play after an update means you accept the revised terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. If you live somewhere whose consumer-protection law gives you rights these terms can't take away, those rights still apply.
13. Apple
Apple is not a party to these terms and has no responsibility for the Game. Apple is, however, a third-party beneficiary of these terms and may enforce them against you. Your use of the App Store is also governed by Apple's own terms.
