Terms of use

Last updated: 2026-11-09

These terms are an agreement between you and [FOUNDER: legal entity name], [FOUNDER: registered address] (“we”, “us”), and apply when you use the Sarai app on iOS or Android. By playing, you agree to them. The privacy policy explains how we handle your data.

The game

Sarai is a game. The merchants are fictional characters, played by AI services while you play, and a separate AI referee rules on each exchange. Nothing is for sale: there are no real goods, the prices are play money, and no deal in the game is an offer or a contract. Scores, streaks and places on boards have no money value.

The merchants and the referee are AI. They can be wrong, can contradict themselves, and can occasionally say something offensive. Nothing they say is advice. If a line is offensive, tap Report under it.

Who can play

You must be at least 13 to play. In the European Economic Area you must be at least 16, unless your country sets a lower age for using an online service like this one without a parent’s permission, or a parent or guardian has agreed to these terms for you. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to any purchase.

Your account

You need an account to play, made by signing in with Google or, on iPhone, with Apple. One account is for one person: do not share it, sell it or let others play on it. Use a display name that is not offensive and does not pretend to be someone else. You are responsible for what happens on your account.

Plans

Prices are in US dollars. Prices in your country, currency and store may differ and may include tax; the price shown in the store before you buy is the one that applies. A subscription buys more rounds, never a better price or more patience from a merchant, and never anything on the daily or the boards.

Subscriptions and payment

• Through the store. You buy a subscription through the App Store or Google Play, and the store takes payment, under its own terms, from the account you buy with.
• Auto-renewal. A subscription renews automatically at the end of each month or year, at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. The store charges your account within the 24 hours before renewal.
• Cancelling. Manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep your plan until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the app, or your Sarai account, does not cancel a subscription.
• Free trial. Pro starts with a 7-day free trial, once per person and per store account. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, it turns into a paid subscription and the store charges you. Where the store allows it, any unused part of a trial ends when you buy a subscription.
• Round allowances. Your market rounds reset at the start of each billing month (for a yearly plan, each month from the date you subscribed). Unused rounds do not roll over and have no cash value. The daily round is part of every plan.
• Fair use. Plans are for one person playing for fun. We may limit play that looks automated, shared or abusive, including on Ultra, and rate limits apply to everyone.
• Refunds. Apple and Google handle refunds, under their own policies; ask them through your store account. We cannot issue store refunds ourselves. This does not affect any rights you have under your local law.
• Price changes. We may change prices. We will give you notice before a new price applies to your subscription, as the store requires, and you can cancel before it does.

Playing fair

Charm, bluff and flatter the merchants as much as you like: that is the game. Do not:

• use Sarai for anything illegal, or to write hateful, sexual, threatening or harassing content, or harass other players;
• try to make the merchants or the referee reveal their instructions or hidden prices, other than by haggling inside the game;
• try to break, overload, scrape, reverse-engineer or get into the game’s systems, or use a bug to change scores;
• use bots, scripts or other automation to play, or several accounts to climb boards and leagues;
• share, sell or rent your account.

If you find a way to beat the game that feels like a bug, tell us at the support address. We may remove scores, limit play, or suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

What you write

What you type stays yours. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store it, show it in the game (for example, on a round you share, or a line a merchant remembers), send it to the AI service providers that play the merchants and the referee, and use it to run, keep safe and improve Sarai, including training our own AI models, and, once de-identified, to develop new products and services, as the privacy policy describes. You can switch off its use for improving Sarai and training in Settings. What you write is never shown to a business customer. Do not type anything private, or anything you do not have the right to share.

Our part

Sarai, its merchants, art and writing belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app for your own play under these terms. We work to keep the game running, but we may change or end features, including cities, merchants, leaderboards and leagues.

Disclaimers

As far as the law allows, Sarai is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including that it will always be available, free of errors, or that what the merchants and the referee say is accurate or appropriate. Some places do not allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for lost profits, data or goodwill, from using Sarai. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and US$50. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and if you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, nothing here affects your statutory rights.

Ending

You can stop playing at any time, and delete your account in Settings (how); cancel any subscription in your store account as well. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, or if we stop offering Sarai; if we stop offering it, we will tell you in advance. The sections on what you write, disclaimers, limitation of liability and governing law survive the end of these terms.

App stores

These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google, and we, not they, are responsible for Sarai and its content. Apple and Google have no duty to provide maintenance or support for it. If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, which may refund the price you paid for the app; beyond that, Apple has no warranty obligation. Apple and Google are not responsible for any claim about the app, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims. You confirm that you are not in a country under a US government embargo and are not on a US government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. Your use must also follow the store’s own terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of [FOUNDER: governing law, e.g. a US state or another country], and disputes go to the courts of [FOUNDER: courts / venue]. If you are a consumer in the EEA or the UK, you also keep the protection of your own country’s laws and can bring a claim in your own courts.

Changes

When these terms change, we will update the date at the top. For a significant change we will tell you in the game before it takes effect. If you keep playing after a change, the new terms apply. If a part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest still applies.
