5. In-App Purchases
Trade Empire: Cargo Tycoon may offer optional in-app purchases.
Purchases are processed through Google Play and are subject to Google Play's applicable payment and refund terms.
We do not directly process your payment card information.
Purchasable content may include:

Some purchases are consumable.

- Other resources that can be spent
Once a consumable item has been credited and then used or spent within the Game, it may not be restorable.
Refund eligibility is determined under Google Play's applicable refund policies and applicable law.
If a purchase is refunded, cancelled, reversed, charged back, or otherwise invalidated, we may remove the corresponding virtual items or benefits from the Game where technically possible.
7. Purchase Restoration
Eligible non-consumable purchases may be restored through Google Play where supported.
If an eligible purchase does not restore correctly, contact:
Please include enough purchase information for us to investigate the transaction, but do not send credit card or bank account details.
Because the Game currently does not use player accounts or cloud saves, restoring a Google Play purchase does not necessarily restore locally stored Game progression.

Examples may include:
- Speeding up deliveries
- Speeding up upgrades
- Increasing rewards

Reward availability may be limited by:

- Advertising inventory
- Your region
- Internet connectivity
- Advertising provider availability
- Privacy choices
- Technical conditions
We do not guarantee that a rewarded advertisement will always be available.
Closing, skipping, failing to complete, or experiencing an error during an advertisement may mean that no reward is granted.

You acknowledge that progress may be lost if you:
- Uninstall the Game
- Clear the Game's storage or application data

- Suspend or terminate access to the Game where technically possible
Nothing in this section prevents responsible reporting of a security issue or Game bug.
