Flip Empire Website Terms of Use

Caveat Emptor Studio LLC · Last Updated: October 4, 2026

These Website Terms of Use (these “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Caveat Emptor Studio LLC, an Indiana limited liability company with a principal place of business at 525 N End Dr, Carmel, IN 46032 (“Caveat Emptor Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern your access to and use of the websites at flipempire.io and caveatemptorstudio.com, including any subdomains, pages, content, and features made available through them (together, the “Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Website Privacy Policy at flipempire.io. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

These Terms govern the Site only. They do not govern the mobile game Flip Empire (the “Game”), which is covered by a separate agreement. See Section 2.

Key points:

These Terms cover the Site, not the Game. The Game has its own Terms and Conditions and End User License Agreement. See Section 2.
The Site is informational. Nothing is sold on the Site, and all in-app purchases happen inside the Game through Apple. See Section 3.
Everything the Site and the Game depict about properties, addresses, and deals is fictional, and none of it is real estate, investment, or financial advice. See Section 7.
The Site is provided “as is,” and our liability is limited. See Sections 9 and 10.
Indiana law governs these Terms, and we ask that you contact us before filing any claim. See Sections 14 and 15.

1. Acceptance and Eligibility

1.1 These Terms take effect when you first access the Site and remain in effect for as long as you use it.

1.2 The Site is not directed to children under 13, and you may not use it if you are under 13. If you are 13 or older but have not reached the legal age of majority where you live, you may use the Site only with the review and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.

1.3 The Site is operated from the United States. We make no representation that it is appropriate or available for use in other locations. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to your use of the Site.

2. What These Terms Cover; Relationship to the Game

2.1 Site only. These Terms apply to the Site. They do not apply to the Game, to the App Store, or to any other product or service.

2.2 The Game is governed separately. The Game is governed by the Flip Empire Terms and Conditions and End User License Agreement (the “Game Agreement”) and the Flip Empire Privacy Policy. Your download and use of the Game, any in-app purchase, and any dispute relating to the Game are governed by those documents and by Apple’s terms, not by these Terms.

2.3 Conflicts. If these Terms conflict with the Game Agreement on a matter concerning the Game, the Game Agreement controls. Nothing on the Site modifies, waives, or supersedes the Game Agreement.

3. Information About the Game; No Sales Through the Site

3.1 Informational purposes. The Site provides information about the Game and Caveat Emptor Studio. Descriptions, screenshots, artwork, videos, feature lists, prices, release dates, and platform and country availability shown on the Site are for general information only. They may change without notice, may not match the released version of the Game, and are not a promise, warranty, or commitment that any feature or content will be available.

3.2 No sales. The Site does not sell products or services and does not process payments. The Game offers optional in-app purchases of virtual currency and virtual items, which are made only inside the Game and processed by Apple, as described in the Game Agreement.

3.3 App Store links. The Site may link to the Game’s page on the Apple App Store. Following that link takes you to a service operated by Apple, which is solely responsible for it. Apple does not sponsor or endorse the Site and has no affiliation with it. Your download of the Game from the App Store is subject to Apple’s terms and the Game Agreement.

4. Use of the Site

4.1 Limited license. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and view the Site for your personal, non-commercial use.

4.2 Restrictions. You may not:

(a) use the Site in violation of any law or regulation, or to infringe or violate the rights of any third party;
(b) use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access the Site or to collect or harvest content or information from it, other than ordinary search-engine indexing that respects our robots.txt file;
(c) interfere with, disrupt, or overburden the Site or any server or network used to provide it;
(d) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or any related system, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of any of them;
(e) introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful or disruptive code;
(f) circumvent, disable, or interfere with any security feature of the Site;
(g) copy, mirror, frame, or republish the Site or substantial parts of it, or remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notice;
(h) impersonate Caveat Emptor Studio or any person, or misrepresent your affiliation with us; or
(i) use the Site to send spam, phishing messages, or other unsolicited or deceptive communications.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Ownership. As between you and Caveat Emptor Studio, Caveat Emptor Studio and its licensors own all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Site and its content, including text, graphics, artwork, screenshots, videos, logos, user interface design, software code, and the selection and arrangement of them. The Site is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

5.2 Our marks. “Flip Empire,” “Caveat Emptor Studio,” their names and logos, and the characters, artwork, visual style, design, and trade dress appearing on the Site or in the Game are unregistered trademarks and common-law marks of Caveat Emptor Studio LLC. We claim all common-law trademark and trade dress rights in them and reserve the right to seek registration of any of them at any time. The absence of a registration symbol does not waive any right in a mark.

5.3 Third-party marks. Apple, the Apple logo, App Store, iPhone, iPad, and iCloud are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the United States and other countries. They appear on the Site only to identify Apple’s products and services and do not indicate any sponsorship or endorsement by Apple. Other names and marks on the Site belong to their respective owners.

5.4 No implied license. Except as stated in Section 4.1 and Section 5.5, these Terms grant you no right or license in the Site, our content, or our marks, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. You may not use our marks, logos, artwork, or trade dress without our prior written permission, except as permitted by applicable law.

5.5 Press and editorial use. You may use screenshots, logos, and artwork displayed on the Site to report on, review, or comment on the Game or Caveat Emptor Studio, provided you do not alter them, do not use them in a way that suggests we sponsor or endorse you or your content, and do not use them as part of your own branding or in connection with your own products or services. We may revoke this permission at any time. Permission to capture and share gameplay footage is governed by the Game Agreement, not by these Terms.

5.6 Reporting infringement. If you believe content on the Site infringes your intellectual property rights, email compliance@caveatemptorstudio.com with a description of the work you believe is infringed, the URL of the allegedly infringing content, your name and contact information, and a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is unauthorized.

6. Feedback and Communications

6.1 Contacting us is voluntary. If you send us feedback, comments, ideas, suggestions, bug reports, or other communications about the Game, the Site, or our other products and services (“Feedback”), you grant Caveat Emptor Studio a non-exclusive, fully paid, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, transferable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, and otherwise exploit that Feedback for any purpose, in any media, without compensation, credit, or attribution to you. If any such rights cannot be licensed under applicable law, including moral rights, you waive and agree not to assert them. We are not required to use any Feedback.

6.2 You represent that you have the right to give us your Feedback and that it is not subject to any obligation of confidentiality or compensation. We may already be considering or developing ideas similar to your Feedback, and nothing in these Terms limits our right to do so.

6.3 This Section 6 applies to the substance of your Feedback. Personal information you include in a message is handled under our Website Privacy Policy. Please do not send us payment card numbers, passwords, government identification numbers, or other sensitive information.

7. Fictional Content; No Professional Advice

7.1 ALL PROPERTIES, ADDRESSES, STREET NAMES, NEIGHBORHOODS, CITIES, LISTINGS, BUILDINGS, BUSINESSES, BRANDS, CHARACTERS, NAMES, PRICES, AND VALUATIONS DEPICTED ON THE SITE OR IN THE GAME ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS AND ARE USED FICTITIOUSLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES. ANY RESEMBLANCE TO ANY ACTUAL PROPERTY, ADDRESS, BUSINESS, ORGANIZATION, PERSON (LIVING OR DEAD), OR EVENT IS ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL AND UNINTENTIONAL.

7.2 No professional advice. The Site and the Game are works of entertainment. Nothing on the Site constitutes, or is intended to constitute, real estate, investment, financial, tax, legal, appraisal, lending, or brokerage advice, and nothing on the Site should be relied on in making any real-world decision. Game mechanics, prices, returns, renovation costs, financing terms, and valuations are designed for entertainment and game balance and do not reflect, model, or predict actual real estate markets or outcomes. Caveat Emptor Studio is not a real estate broker, agent, appraiser, lender, or investment adviser, and no such relationship is created by your use of the Site.

7.3 If you believe any content on the Site unintentionally resembles a real property, address, business, or person, contact us at compliance@caveatemptorstudio.com and we will review the matter in good faith.

8. Third-Party Links and Services

The Site may contain links to third-party websites and services, including the Apple App Store and social media platforms, and may rely on third-party services to host or operate the Site. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, services, or practices. A link is not an endorsement. Their terms and privacy policies govern your use of them, and you access them at your own risk.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

9.1 THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT AND INFORMATION ON IT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, “WITH ALL FAULTS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. CAVEAT EMPTOR STUDIO, ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “CAVEAT EMPTOR PARTIES”) DISCLAIM ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

9.2 WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE CAVEAT EMPTOR PARTIES MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT (1) THE SITE WILL BE AVAILABLE, UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, (2) THE SITE OR ITS SERVERS WILL BE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, (3) ANY CONTENT OR INFORMATION ON THE SITE IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR CURRENT, OR (4) ANY DEFECT IN THE SITE WILL BE CORRECTED.

9.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, the exclusions apply only to the extent permitted by law, and nothing in these Terms prejudices any statutory rights you may have as a consumer.

10. Limitation of Liability

10.1 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE CAVEAT EMPTOR PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SITE, EVEN IF A CAVEAT EMPTOR PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10.2 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE CAVEAT EMPTOR PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED USD $50.00. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY EVEN IF ANY REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

10.3 Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for fraud, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.

10.4 This Section 10 applies to the Site. Liability relating to the Game is governed by the Game Agreement.

11. Indemnification

11.1 You agree to indemnify, pay the defense costs of, and hold harmless the Caveat Emptor Parties from all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that arise from or in connection with (a) your breach of these Terms, (b) your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights, or (c) your misuse of the Site.

11.2 If you are prohibited by law from entering into the indemnification obligation above, then you assume, to the extent permitted by law, all liability for the claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, and expenses that are the subject of that obligation.

12. Changes to the Site; Suspension and Termination

12.1 We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

12.2 We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Site at any time if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or that your use presents a risk to the Site, to others, or to us. You may stop using the Site at any time.

12.3 Sections 4.2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, and 16 survive any termination of your access to the Site.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms at flipempire.io and revising the “Last Updated” date above. Updated Terms take effect when posted. If we make a material change, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice on the Site. By continuing to use the Site after updated Terms take effect, you agree to be bound by them. If you do not agree to an update, stop using the Site.

Before filing any claim against Caveat Emptor Studio relating to the Site, you agree to contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days. Send a written notice to compliance@caveatemptorstudio.com and to 525 N End Drive, Carmel, IN 46032 that includes your name, your contact information, a description of the dispute, and the resolution you seek. We will send any notice to the email address you have provided to us. Applicable statutes of limitations are tolled while this informal resolution period is running.

15. Governing Law; Venue

15.1 These Terms, and any dispute relating to the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana and of the United States of America, excluding conflict-of-laws principles.

15.2 Subject to Section 14, any action or proceeding relating to these Terms or the Site must be brought in the state courts located in Hamilton County, Indiana, or, if federal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts and waive any claim of inconvenient forum.

15.3 Disputes relating to the Game are resolved under the Game Agreement, including its dispute resolution provisions. Nothing in this Section 15 changes the Game Agreement.

16. General

16.1 Entire agreement. These Terms and the Website Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Caveat Emptor Studio relating to your use of the Site and supersede all prior communications on that subject. The Game Agreement is a separate agreement that governs the Game.

16.2 Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of these Terms unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the furthest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

16.3 No waiver. Any failure or delay by us in exercising a right under these Terms is not a waiver of that or any other right.

16.4 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so is void. We may assign these Terms at any time, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

16.5 No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not confer any right or remedy on any person other than you and Caveat Emptor Studio. Apple is not a party to these Terms.

16.6 Electronic communications. You agree that we may provide notices to you by posting them on the Site or by email, and that these satisfy any legal requirement that notices be in writing.

16.7 Consumer rights; language. These Terms describe certain legal rights. You may have other rights under the laws of your jurisdiction, and these Terms do not change those rights where the law does not permit it. The original of these Terms is in English; any translation is for reference only. Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
