Terms of Use

Fateline · Last updated 30 July 2026

The short version. Fateline is a single-player game with no account and no login. A full life — ageing up, taking any career, earning money, relationships, crime and closing threads — is free and unlimited, forever. Purchases add extra scenario content. They never take away something you could already do, and nothing you buy is randomised.

Licence

Fateline is licensed, not sold, to you for personal, non-commercial use on Apple devices you own or control, under the terms of Apple's Standard End User Licence Agreement (EULA), which applies to this app in full. The terms on this page describe how Fateline's purchases work; where anything here conflicts with Apple's Standard EULA, the Standard EULA governs.

What is always free

Every core action in Fateline is free and unlimited, forever: living a full life, ageing up, taking a job, earning money, buying things, relationships, crime, and closing threads. All eight career tracks and all ten starting archetypes are core content. They are not sold, they are not bundled into any purchase, and no purchase is required to reach any of them.

What you can buy

Purchases add scenario packs — additional situations to play through. A scenario pack contains events only. It does not add a career, an archetype, or a game mechanic, and it never gates one.

Fateline Pass — auto-renewing subscription

No randomised purchases

Fateline contains no loot boxes, no mystery crates, no spins and no gambling mechanics of any kind. Everything you buy is exactly what is described before you pay.

No advertising

Fateline contains no advertising and no ad SDK.

Restoring purchases

One-time purchases and an active subscription can be restored on any device signed in to the same Apple Account, using Restore Purchases on the purchase screen. Consumable rewinds are used up when spent and are not restorable.

Refunds

All purchases are processed by Apple. Refund requests are handled by Apple, not by us, at reportaproblem.apple.com.

Your saved lives

Saves are stored on your device, versioned, and migrated on update rather than replaced. The game keeps automatic backups of your last three completed lives and lets you export your own copy at any time. See the Privacy Policy for what is and is not collected.

Acceptable use

Do not reverse-engineer, resell, or redistribute the app or its content except as permitted by the Standard EULA or by law. Fateline is fiction: its careers, crimes and outcomes are a game, not advice.

Disclaimer and liability

Fateline is provided "as is", without warranties beyond those that cannot be excluded under applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, liability is limited to the amount you paid for the app and its in-app purchases. Nothing here limits your statutory consumer rights.

Changes

If these terms change, the updated version will be posted here with a new date. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
