Terms of Use
Last updated: 15 October 2026
These terms apply to this website and to the apps published by TiMa Studios, including Dictatorville and Metals. By using them you agree to these terms.
Who we are
TiMa Studios is a brand of Sopranix SRL, a company registered in Romania, CUI 55371421. You can reach us at support@timastudios.app.
Using our apps
We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use our apps on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial use. The apps are licensed to you, not sold.
You agree not to copy, resell or redistribute the apps, not to reverse engineer them except where the law allows it, and not to use them in a way that breaks the law or interferes with other people's use.
The rules of the store you downloaded an app from (Apple App Store or Google Play) also apply. If those rules and these terms conflict on something the store requires, the store's rules win.
Purchases
Purchases are made through the app store and charged to your store account. The price is shown in the store before you confirm. Refunds are handled by the store under its own policy and the law that applies to you.
- Dictatorville: Golden Gnomes, Golden Gavels and in-game items. Golden Gnomes and Golden Gavels are virtual currencies used only inside the game. They, and items such as Flo's Coffee, chests and their rewards, have no real-world value, cannot be exchanged for money and cannot be transferred to another player or another game.
- Dictatorville: packs. Gnome and gavel packs, Flo's Payroll and the Rematch offer are consumable purchases that are delivered once. Flo's Payroll gives 10 gnomes each day for 30 days, collected when you open the game; a day you do not open the game is not added later. It is not a subscription and never renews. Cosmetic items that come with a pack (such as the gold laurel frame or the Golden Flo outfit) stay on your device and in your iCloud backup.
- Dictatorville: President for Life, Starter Pack, The Founder, neighborhoods and Complete Edition. These are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. What each one includes and its price are shown in the store before you buy, and the content is tied to the store account that bought it.
- Dictatorville: expansions. An expansion such as "The Airbnb Wars" adds content to the game on the store account that bought it.
- Metals: tips. Every feature of Metals is free. A tip is a voluntary payment to support development. It unlocks nothing.
Game progress and virtual items are stored on your device. If you delete the game or lose the device, virtual currency you have not spent may be lost.
Metals: prices and forecasts
Metals is a record-keeping tool. It is not a dealer, a broker or a financial adviser.
- Prices shown in the app are reference quotes from third parties (the National Bank of Romania and gold-api.com). They are not offers to buy or sell, and they may be delayed, unavailable or wrong.
- Values, gains and losses are estimates based on those prices and on the data you enter. What you would actually receive when selling a piece can be different.
- The forecast is a simulation built from the scenarios you choose. It is not a prediction and not investment, tax or legal advice.
Decisions you make about buying, selling or insuring precious metals are your own. Check prices with a dealer and speak to a qualified adviser before acting.
Your data and backups
The data you enter in our apps is stored on your device, as described in the Privacy Policy. We do not keep a copy and cannot restore it for you. Keeping a backup is your responsibility. Metals lets you save a backup file from Settings.
Dictatorville is satire
Dictatorville is a work of fiction and satire. Its neighborhoods, characters and events are invented, and any resemblance to real people or real associations is coincidental. Nothing in the game is advice on how to run a homeowners association.
Our content
The apps, this website, and their names, logos, text, artwork and code belong to Sopranix SRL or its licensors and are protected by law. Coin and bar names and designs shown in Metals belong to their respective mints and refineries and are used only to identify the products.
Warranty and liability
We work to keep our apps accurate and available, but they are provided as they are, without a promise that they will be free of errors or interruptions.
To the extent the law allows, Sopranix SRL is not liable for indirect losses, lost profits, lost data or financial decisions made using the apps. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or the rights you have as a consumer in the country where you live.
Changes and ending
We may update the apps, change their features or stop offering them. We may also update these terms. The new version is published on this page with a new date, and continuing to use the apps means you accept it.
You can stop using an app at any time by deleting it. Your licence ends if you seriously break these terms.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by Romanian law. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there.
Write to us first at support@timastudios.app and we will try to sort the problem out. Consumers in Romania can also contact the National Authority for Consumer Protection (ANPC), anpc.ro.
