Terms of service

Accepting these terms

By playing AJ Cities, creating an account or signing in, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the game. Questions about these terms: gamer@ajcities.com.

You must be 18 or older

AJ Cities is an adult game. Its fictional story includes crime, guns and drugs. You must be at least 18 to play or to create an account. The game is entertainment: what happens in its fictional world is not advice or instructions for real life. Its characters and businesses are fictional, apart from the artist Joe-Izzy, who appears with his permission.

Your account

Some modes and features need an account, through email and password or Continue with Google. Give accurate details, use an account you control and keep your sign-in details private. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Never share your password, a sign-in code or card details with another player.

Playing with others

Treat other players with respect. You agree not to:

• harass, threaten or abuse anyone, or impersonate another person;
• pick a display name that is offensive or pretends to be someone else;
• cheat, use bots, exploit bugs, or interfere with other players, our servers or the game;
• try to get into accounts, data or systems that are not yours;
• use the game to break the law or to send spam.

Report a problem to gamer@ajcities.com. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or puts other players at risk. If that happens to you and you think it is a mistake, email us and we will review it.

Payments, credit and refunds

AJ Cities is free to play, with optional paid tickets, credit, items and adverts. Check the price and any fee shown before you pay. Paystack or Stripe handles the payment; they hold your card details and AJ Cities never does.

• Credit and paid items can be used only in AJ Cities. They cannot be withdrawn, exchanged for cash or transferred outside the game. Money earned inside the game's story has no real-world value.
• If you paid and did not get what you paid for, or were charged twice, email gamer@ajcities.com with your payment reference and we will put it right or refund you. Do not pay again.
• Adverts are reviewed before they go live. No offensive, political, gambling or adult content. An advert we reject is refunded.
• Apart from that, a ticket, credit or item cannot be refunded once you have received it, unless the law gives you a right to a refund.

Privacy and analytics

The Privacy policy explains what we collect to run accounts, game progress, party play and payments, how long it is kept and how to ask for it to be deleted. Where the law asks for it, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity load only after you accept cookies; elsewhere they load by default. Change that choice at any time with Cookie settings. Crash reports are sent to Sentry without cookies; see the Privacy policy.

The game is still being built

AJ Cities is being developed, so features, places and missions may change, and there may be interruptions or lost progress. The game is provided as it is, without promises that it will always be available or free of errors.

Closing your account

You can ask us to close your account at any time by emailing gamer@ajcities.com. Closing it does not delete records the law requires us to keep, such as payment records.

Changes to these terms

When these terms change we will update this page and its date. Significant changes will also be announced in the game. Playing after a change means you accept the updated terms.
