Terms of Service.
The terms that apply when you access or use Pentecost Software Co. products and services.
Last updated: September 16, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the games, applications, websites, and related services provided by Pentecost Software Co., LLC, doing business as Pentecost Software Co. ("we," "us," or "our"). They include Centuries and our company website (together, the "Services").
Before first play, Centuries presents these Terms for acceptance through an "I agree" control. Selecting that control indicates your agreement to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not accept or play Centuries. Our company website makes these Terms available for review; merely opening a policy link is not the in-game acceptance action.
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information, including purchase verification, Google Play Games, device backup, and website or support information. Accepting these Terms does not replace any separate privacy consent required by law.
Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or replaces consumer rights or other protections that applicable law does not allow us to exclude, restrict, or replace.
1. Eligibility and availability
Centuries is intended for users aged 18 and older. You must meet any higher minimum age required by applicable law and follow applicable platform age restrictions. A content rating that permits a younger audience does not override this minimum age.
Centuries is offered in selected countries and regions through Google Play. Availability depends on the app's distribution settings and applicable platform or legal requirements. These Terms do not promise availability in every country.
If you meet the minimum age but are not legally an adult where you live, your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf to the extent required by law. A parent or guardian authorizing use is responsible for the permissions and supervision required by applicable law and for purchases they authorize. Parental permission does not permit a person under 18 to use Centuries.
Do not misrepresent your eligibility or bypass an age restriction. The age of a character you create or control is not your actual age and does not determine your eligibility to play.
2. No Pentecost Software player accounts; Google services
Centuries does not create player accounts with Pentecost Software. Our company website does not offer public user accounts. A Google account used to obtain the game, make purchases, use Google Play Games, or manage device backups is managed by Google and does not create a separate player account with us.
When connected, Google Play Games provides player identity and achievement features. It is separate from the Google Play purchase-verification process and is not a Pentecost Software cloud-save account. Existing Google Play Games sign-in settings may connect the game without requiring a new sign-in each time.
Use only Google accounts and payment methods you are authorized to use. Google's account and platform services are subject to its terms. Losing access to the purchasing Google account may affect purchase restoration, subscription management, achievements, or backups. We cannot recover your Google account; use Google's account-recovery process.
You are responsible for activity you authorize and for taking reasonable steps to protect accounts you use. You are not automatically responsible for every unauthorized action merely because it occurred through your account.
3. License to use the Services
Subject to these Terms and applicable purchase conditions, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use our games and applications for personal, non-commercial purposes. This is a license to use software and content, not a transfer of ownership of the underlying intellectual property.
You may use our company website to learn about, evaluate, and obtain our services, including for legitimate business purposes. Separate written agreements govern commissioned website work and other professional services where applicable.
Except as permitted by applicable law, an applicable open-source license, or our written permission, you may not redistribute, sell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services or extract and distribute their software or assets. You may not reverse engineer protected software except where the law or an applicable license permits it. Nothing here prohibits uses protected by law, including lawful criticism, reviews, and applicable fair-use or similar rights.
4. Acceptable use
You must not use the Services to violate the law or another person's rights; threaten, harass, exploit, or impersonate others; distribute malware; expose another person's private information without authority; or submit unlawful material.
You must not fraudulently obtain purchases or refunds, bypass payment or access controls, access another user's data without authorization, compromise the security of the Services, or knowingly exploit a defect to harm other users or the operation of an online service.
Do not use unauthorized automation or excessive requests that disrupt online features, evade service limits, or obtain unauthorized access. This does not prohibit ordinary accessibility tools or automated functions expressly provided by the game.
Do not sell, rent, or transfer access credentials or virtual items outside a transfer feature we expressly authorize. Report suspected security issues privately to support@pentecostsoftware.com rather than accessing or publishing another person's information.
5. Gameplay, fiction, and mature themes
Our games are entertainment products. Characters, relationships, events, economies, historical settings, and simulated outcomes may be fictional, simplified, randomized, or adapted for gameplay. They are not reliable statements about real people or a guarantee of historical accuracy.
Game content is not medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional advice. A simulated action or outcome is not an instruction or endorsement to perform that action in real life.
Games may portray mature or difficult themes, including relationships and sexuality, illness, death, conflict, crime, alcohol or drug use, and financial loss. Review the game's content rating and available descriptions before playing. A simulated outcome, random result, or unsuccessful player decision is not itself a product defect.
6. Local saves, Android backup, and achievements
Centuries stores saved progress locally on your device. We do not operate a cloud-save service, continuous cross-device gameplay synchronization, or account-based save recovery. Ordinary gameplay and entitlement checks do not upload your full saved game to our servers.
Android may back up the saved-game file or transfer it between devices when the relevant operating-system features and settings permit. Cloud backup is subject to the app's encryption requirements and your device and provider settings. These functions are provided through the operating system or backup provider, not a Pentecost Software cloud-save service. We do not administer or retrieve your Google-managed backup copies.
Google Play Games can synchronize achievements for the connected profile. Achievement synchronization does not synchronize the full saved game, restore a character, or guarantee that progress will be recoverable on another device.
Local saves may become unavailable when an app is removed, app data is cleared, a device is lost or damaged, or a file is overwritten or corrupted. Where backup or export tools are provided, use them to keep a copy of progress you wish to preserve. Backup success and restoration depend on the relevant provider, device, configuration, and available copies.
We do not guarantee recovery of every save or uninterrupted compatibility across every version, device, or unofficial modification. We remain responsible for obligations and remedies that applicable law imposes on us. These Terms do not excuse us from those obligations merely because the affected information is game progress.
7. Purchases and paid features
Centuries offers subscriptions and one-time purchases through Google Play. Our company website does not accept payments. The product description and checkout process identify the price, currency, billing interval, and features included in the purchase. Applicable taxes and any trial or introductory conditions are disclosed through the purchase process.
Google Play processes purchases, and its applicable terms also govern the transaction. You must be authorized to use the payment method. We do not receive full payment-card details through in-app checkout.
We use purchase information, including Google Play purchase tokens, to verify entitlement through our Cloudflare-hosted service when server verification is enabled. We may check a purchase before granting or restoring access and recheck it as needed. Our Privacy Policy describes the associated data and retention.
Pending, declined, refunded, revoked, or expired purchases may not provide continued access to the corresponding paid features. Network access and the original purchasing Google account may be necessary for verification or restoration. Contact support if you believe a valid purchase is not being recognized.
A one-time purchase is not a recurring subscription. Its purchase description determines the content, duration, and any future content included. These Terms do not narrow an express commitment made in a purchase offer, including a promise about future premium content.
Purchases do not automatically transfer between different app stores, games, or unrelated accounts unless the purchase description or a supported feature expressly permits it. Do not buy based solely on an unannounced feature or an assumption that a roadmap item will be released.
8. Subscriptions, renewals, cancellation, and refunds
Renewal. An auto-renewing subscription renews for the billing interval accepted at checkout unless canceled in accordance with the platform's process. The amount, interval, and applicable renewal conditions must be presented before you subscribe. A free trial or introductory offer, when offered, may convert to a paid subscription as disclosed at checkout unless canceled before the stated deadline.
Cancellation. For a Google Play subscription, manage cancellation through your Google Play account's subscription settings. Cancellation generally stops the next renewal while allowing access for the remainder of the current paid period, subject to the applicable purchase terms and law. After access expires, availability of paid features follows the purchase description and the game's disclosed behavior.
Deleting data, disconnecting Play Games, or uninstalling Centuries does not automatically cancel a Google Play subscription. Contact us for assistance if you cannot locate the relevant subscription. You do not need to wait for a subscription period to end before making a privacy or data-deletion request.
Changes. Subscription prices and features may change prospectively, subject to the notice, consent, cancellation, and refund requirements of applicable law and the platform. A change does not authorize an undisclosed charge or eliminate rights relating to an existing paid period.
Refunds. Refunds are governed by applicable law, the platform's refund process, and any more favorable promise made for the purchase. For a Google Play purchase, use Google Play's refund process or contact support@pentecostsoftware.com for assistance. Nothing in these Terms imposes an absolute "no refunds" rule or prevents you from exercising mandatory remedies for defective, unavailable, or misdescribed digital content or services.
9. Virtual currency, items, and simulated property
Where a game includes virtual currency, items, property, businesses, titles, or other in-game assets, they form part of the game experience. They do not establish ownership of real-world property, money, securities, or a financial account. Centuries does not provide real-money wagering or cash redemption of simulated assets.
Purchasing or earning an in-game item grants the applicable right to use it within the game, subject to the purchase description and these Terms. It does not transfer ownership of our underlying software or assets or authorize a resale market.
Virtual assets and progress can change through normal gameplay, character death, succession, player choices, or disclosed game mechanics. Changes we make to purchased content remain subject to applicable consumer rights and the promises made when it was purchased.
10. Network services and shared gameplay
Centuries does not offer Connected Lives or operate its own public player profiles, leaderboards, or shared gameplay service. References to possible future features do not make them part of the current service or a purchase promise.
Google Play Games provides separate Google-managed profile and achievement features. Their availability and visibility depend on Google and your platform settings. They do not create player-to-player messaging or a shared-world service operated by Pentecost Software.
Purchases, entitlement verification, achievement synchronization, device backup, website access, and support can involve network connections. Our Privacy Policy describes the associated information handling. Network or provider outages may affect those features without creating a right to bypass payment or security controls. Outages do not remove mandatory consumer remedies.
11. Material you submit and feedback
You retain any rights you hold in original material you submit to the Services. This does not give you ownership of our game content merely because it appears in your save, screenshot, or submission.
You authorize us to store, process, reproduce, and display submitted material only as reasonably necessary to handle your inquiry, provide support, carry out a sharing choice you expressly make, protect the Services, or comply with law. This permission is non-exclusive and royalty-free and does not grant us an unrestricted right to use your personal material in advertising. Handling of personal information remains subject to our Privacy Policy.
You must have the rights or permissions needed for your submission. Do not send information that violates another person's privacy, confidentiality, or intellectual-property rights.
You may voluntarily send suggestions or feedback. You permit us to use those suggestions to improve our products without an obligation to pay or credit you. Do not submit trade secrets or other confidential material as general feedback. This permission does not transfer ownership of unrelated pre-existing intellectual property.
12. Intellectual property
We and our licensors retain the rights we hold in the Services, including their software, protected content, artwork, audio, design, branding, and other intellectual property. Rights not expressly granted are reserved.
Third-party software and content may be governed by separate licenses or notices, which control to the extent required for those materials. Nothing in these Terms claims exclusive rights in public-domain material or removes rights granted by an applicable open-source license.
You may not imply that we sponsor or endorse you or your product without permission. Claims about copyright or other intellectual-property infringement can be sent to support@pentecostsoftware.com, identifying the material, the rights involved, and your contact information.
13. Updates, testing, and service availability
We may release updates, fix errors, rebalance gameplay, change supported functionality, or retire a Service for legitimate operational, technical, security, or legal reasons. Some updates may be required to continue using online features.
Beta, preview, or experimental versions may contain incomplete features, defects, and changes that affect saves. Any planned reset or material testing limitation should be disclosed in the applicable test information. Participation in a test does not guarantee a release date or a particular final feature set.
Roadmaps, development discussions, and previews are descriptions of plans, not guarantees of future delivery unless expressly included in a binding purchase promise. You are not charged for a formerly free feature without agreeing to the purchase.
We will provide reasonable notice of a planned material discontinuation where practicable. Changes or discontinuation do not eliminate obligations relating to paid content, current subscription periods, statutory updates, refunds, or other mandatory consumer remedies. We do not promise perpetual operation of servers or support for every device.
14. Suspension, termination, and data deletion
You may stop using the Services at any time and request deletion of personal information as described in our Privacy Policy. Stopping use does not itself cancel a Google Play subscription.
We may restrict or suspend access to functionality we control when reasonably necessary to investigate a serious suspected violation, protect users or the Services, prevent fraud, or comply with law. We may terminate such access for a material or repeated violation or when continued operation is no longer lawful or practicable.
Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to address a problem before permanent termination. Immediate action may be appropriate for serious abuse, urgent security risks, fraud, or legal requirements. You may contact support to request review of an access restriction.
We may remove access obtained through a fraudulent, refunded, or revoked transaction. Suspension or termination does not automatically waive your lawful refund rights or permit us to retain personal information indefinitely. Data handling remains subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law.
A privacy request does not itself cancel a subscription or request a refund. Deleting verification records may affect recognition or restoration of paid access, and later entitlement checks may create new records needed to provide the requested feature. Any lawful retention limitation will be explained when handling the request; purchasing a product does not waive your privacy rights.
15. Disclaimers
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided "as is" and "as available." Except for express promises we make and warranties or guarantees that the law requires, we disclaim implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We do not promise that the Services will always be available, error-free, compatible with every device, or capable of recovering every lost save. We do not guarantee a particular gameplay outcome.
These disclaimers do not override the description of a product you purchase, an express commitment we make, or mandatory quality, conformity, security, or other consumer obligations.
16. Limits on liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pentecost Software Co., LLC and its officers, employees, contractors, and licensors are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from the Services, including lost profits, business opportunities, or data, where exclusion of those damages is lawful.
Subject to the exceptions below, our total aggregate liability for claims arising out of or relating to the affected Service is limited to the greater of US$100 or the amount you paid us, including through an app store, for that Service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.
These exclusions and limits do not apply to fraud, intentional misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury caused by negligence where liability cannot lawfully be limited, or any other liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited. They do not reduce a mandatory refund, replacement, repair, price-reduction, or other consumer remedy.
Where a particular exclusion or limit is not permitted, it applies only to the extent allowed by the law governing your claim.
17. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Iowa and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This choice does not deprive you of mandatory protections provided by the law of your usual place of residence.
Unless applicable law provides otherwise, disputes under these Terms must be brought in the Iowa District Court in and for Buchanan County or, where federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. The parties submit to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts. Where you have a mandatory right to bring a claim in your local courts or another forum, that right remains available.
You may contact support@pentecostsoftware.com to seek an informal resolution. Doing so is not a condition of exercising a non-waivable legal right or contacting a regulator, and these Terms do not require binding arbitration or waive participation in a class action.
18. Changes and other terms
We may revise these Terms to reflect changes in the Services or law. We will update the date above and provide reasonable notice of material changes before they take effect where practicable, except where an urgent legal, security, or abuse-prevention reason requires a shorter period. We will obtain renewed agreement where required by law. Changes do not retroactively eliminate accrued rights or rewrite completed transactions.
If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent legally permitted. A failure to enforce a provision immediately is not a permanent waiver.
These Terms, applicable purchase descriptions, and any additional terms expressly presented and accepted for a particular feature form the agreement for that Service. A separately signed business-services agreement controls its own subject matter in the event of a conflict.
