TERMS OF SERVICE
BlackHat Tycoon (Android) · by Klipx Limited · last updated 30 October 2026
Short version. BlackHat Tycoon is a game, and its hacking is fiction. Play fair: no cheats, bots or exploits. Gems (◆) and everything else in the game are for playing it: they have no cash value and cannot be sold or traded. ◆ are bought through Google Play, only from a linked account and only by players 18 or over. The game shows you the odds before you pay for anything random. A refunded purchase takes its ◆ back. Nothing here takes away your rights as a consumer.
WHO WE ARE
These terms are an agreement between you and Klipx Limited, London, United Kingdom ("we", "us"), who make BlackHat Tycoon. By playing the game you accept them. Contact: help@klipx.app.
How the game handles your data is in the privacy policy.
WHO CAN PLAY
- BlackHat Tycoon is not meant for children under 16.
- Real-money purchases are only for players 18 or over. Before your first purchase the game asks your age once and keeps only whether you are 18 or over. If you are under 18, purchases stay off, and everything in the game can still be earned by playing.
- If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent's or guardian's permission to play.
YOUR ACCOUNT
- You start as a guest. A guest run is tied to the app on your phone: if you lose the phone or delete the app before you link the run, nobody can bring it back. Link it to Google or an email address in Profile & Settings to keep it on any phone.
- Keep your sign-in safe. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
- One player per account. Do not sell, buy, share or transfer accounts or runs.
FAIR PLAY
BlackHat Tycoon has leaderboards and player-versus-player hacks, so it has to be fair. You must not:
- use cheats, modified versions of the app, bots, scripts or anything else that automates play;
- exploit bugs, or keep using one once you know about it (tell us instead);
- use several accounts to boost a rating, farm rewards or hack yourself;
- attack, overload or interfere with the game's servers, or try to reach data that is not yours;
- pick a handle that is offensive, impersonates someone, or is used to harass other players.
If you break these rules we may rename or reset a handle, take back progress or items gained by breaking them, remove you from the leaderboards, or suspend or close the account. We tell you why when we can. Players can REPORT and BLOCK handles in the game.
THE GAME IS FICTION
Hacking in BlackHat Tycoon is simulated. Nothing in the game touches real computers, networks or places, and it is not a guide to real hacking. The world map is fictional, and the game never reads your real location. When players hack each other, only in-game cash moves.
GEMS (◆) AND OTHER VIRTUAL ITEMS
- Everything in the game, including cash, ◆, parts, caches, ratings and titles, is a limited, personal and revocable right to use it inside the game under these terms. It is not your property and has no value outside the game.
- Virtual items cannot be exchanged for real money or anything else of value, and cannot be sold, transferred or traded outside the game. We never buy them back.
- You earn ◆ by playing, and you can buy ◆ packs. ◆ do not expire while your account exists.
- We may change prices, rewards and how the game's economy works, for example to keep it balanced.
BUYING ◆
- ◆ packs are sold through Google Play. Google Play takes the payment under its own terms, and the prices you see are Google Play's. In the UK and the EU they include VAT; in some countries, such as the US, Google Play adds tax at checkout.
- You need a linked account before your first purchase: bought ◆ belong to that account, and Google Play cannot restore spent ◆ on a new phone.
- The first purchase of each pack gives twice its ◆, once per pack. The store says when this applies.
- ◆ are added as soon as Google Play confirms the payment. If the payment is pending (for example cash at a shop), the ◆ are added when it completes. A promo code from Google Play gives its ◆ the same way, and counts as no spending.
- The store shows what you have spent this month and in total, from what Google Play charged you, in your own currency and with any tax included. You can set a monthly spending limit in Profile & Settings › SPENDING: a lower limit applies at once (in the same currency); a higher limit, a limit in another currency, or no limit applies after 24 hours. A purchase goes through if its listed price fits what is left of your limit, so tax added at checkout can take a month slightly over it.
RANDOM ITEMS AND THEIR ODDS
Some things you pay for with ◆ have random contents: the Black Box (an EYES ONLY cache, opened when you buy it), the caches a paid Quick Hack brings, and the corporate bounties of the Sniffer. Before you pay, the game shows the odds for your own account (the ODDS links), from the game server's own tables. Contents are decided when an item is granted. Nothing won in the game has any value outside it.
CANCELLATION AND REFUNDS
- ◆ are digital content delivered at once. By buying a pack you ask for the ◆ to be delivered straight away, and you agree that you lose your right to cancel the purchase once they are delivered.
- Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy.
- If a purchase is refunded or charged back, its ◆ are taken back. If you have spent them already, the game keeps a ◆ debt that the next ◆ you get pay off first, and the account stays off the leaderboards until the debt is paid.
- None of this affects your legal rights if something you bought is faulty or not as described.
LEADERBOARDS AND SEASONS
The MOST WANTED and SEASON boards are for fun. Their rewards are in-game and cosmetic only: there are no real-world prizes. We may correct a rating, remove an entry that broke these terms, or change how the boards work. An account that holds test purchases made with a Google Play license-testing account is kept off the boards.
THE SERVICE
- The game needs a connection to our servers. It may sometimes be unavailable, for example for maintenance.
- We update the game: we may add, change or remove features and rebalance it.
- If we decide to close the game for good, we will say so in the game at least 30 days before it closes, and stop selling ◆ from the day we say so.
ENDING THE AGREEMENT
- You can stop playing and delete your account at any time: in the app (Profile & Settings › DANGER ZONE › DELETE ACCOUNT) or without it. Deleting the account deletes your ◆ and everything else in it for good.
- We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO YOU
We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of us breaking these terms or not using reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable. We do not exclude or limit our responsibility where the law does not allow it, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for fraud.
THE LAW
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, where Klipx Limited is based. If you live somewhere else, you keep the protection of the consumer laws where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
CHANGES
If these terms change, this page shows the new version and its date. If a change matters, the game tells you before it applies.
