Plain-language summary: La Famiglia is a single-player mafia-family management and strategy game set in Porto Luce, a fictional 1950s Mediterranean harbour town. The mobile app is free to play on Android and iOS and shows ads from Google AdMob: an occasional full-screen ad between in-game weeks, and optional rewarded videos you choose to watch in exchange for an in-game favour. An optional one-time Premium purchase removes the full-screen ads and gives you the favours without watching a video. Payment and refunds go through Google Play or the App Store. Your save lives on your device, with optional achievements and cloud save through Google Play Games or Apple Game Center. The game depicts a fictional organised-crime theme. By using the game, you agree to these terms.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By downloading, installing, or using La Famiglia (“the Game”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.
These Terms apply to the mobile editions of La Famiglia on Google Play (application ID com.zibagames.la_famiglia_mobile) and the Apple App Store (bundle ID com.zibagames.laFamigliaMobile). They should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle data.
A PC edition of La Famiglia is also sold on Steam (app 4943660). Purchases on Steam are governed by the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Valve’s refund rules; these Terms still govern your use of the Game itself (licence, conduct, intellectual property, disclaimers and the other sections below), but the ad and Premium sections apply only to the mobile editions.
2. About La Famiglia
La Famiglia is a mafia-family management and strategy game set in Porto Luce, a fictional 1950s Mediterranean harbour town, published by:
- Developer & Publisher: ZiBa Entertainment (sole developer: Zico Bakker)
- Location: Gouda, Netherlands
- Website: zibaentertainment.com
- Contact: info@zibaentertainment.com
3. Eligibility and Content
You must be at least 13 years old to play La Famiglia. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should review these Terms with you. The Game is not directed at children under 13.
The Game depicts a fictional organised-crime theme, including crime, violence and intimidation as part of its story. Age ratings on the stores may differ by region.
4. Licence to Use
Subject to these Terms, ZiBa Entertainment grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and play La Famiglia on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, or sublicense the Game or any part of it.
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Game except where expressly permitted by law.
- Cheat, or use bots, modified clients, memory editors, or other tools to alter the Game, its save data, its ads, or its achievements.
- Circumvent, disable, or tamper with any purchase, entitlement, ad, consent, or licensing mechanism in the Game.
- Remove proprietary notices or create derivative works.
- Use the Game in any way that violates applicable law or these Terms.
5. Free to Play, Ads and Premium (mobile editions)
The mobile editions of La Famiglia are free to download and play. The free version is supported by advertising and offers one optional paid upgrade.
5.1 Ads
- Full-screen ads: a short full-screen ad that may appear at natural breaks in the game, for example between in-game weeks. It is limited in frequency and does not appear inside minigames or during story moments. We may also show other full-screen ad formats, such as an ad when you return to the Game after being away for a while, and we can switch such formats on or off remotely.
- Rewarded videos: optional. You choose whether to watch one in exchange for an in-game favour. Favours are limited by caps within the Game. Declining a video never blocks your progress through the story.
- Ads are served by Google AdMob and its mediation partners. We do not control the content of third-party ads. The Game does not show banner ads.
5.2 Premium (one-time purchase)
Premium is a single, one-time in-app purchase (product ID lafamiglia_premium_v1). It is not a subscription and does not renew. With Premium:
- the Game no longer shows full-screen ads; and
- the rewarded favours are given to you without watching a video, within the same limits as for free players.
Premium is not pay-to-win: it gives no gameplay advantage beyond what a free player can get by watching the optional videos. The price is shown in the Game, in your local currency, before you confirm the purchase; the price you see at that moment applies. We may run sales or change the price at any time.
5.3 Billing, refunds and restoring
- All billing is handled by Google Play (Android) or the Apple App Store (iOS). ZiBa Entertainment never receives or stores your payment details.
- Refunds are handled by the store, not by us: Google Play refund policy · Apple refund policy. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, Premium may be withdrawn.
- Restore purchases: if you reinstall the Game or change device, use Restore purchases in the Game with the same store account to get Premium back.
- A purchase belongs to your store account and does not carry over between platforms: Premium bought on Android does not unlock on iOS, or the other way around, and it does not apply to the Steam edition.
- Some payment methods (for example cash vouchers) can leave a purchase “pending”. Premium unlocks when the store confirms the payment.
- “One-time” means you pay once for as long as the Game remains available; it does not guarantee the Game will be maintained indefinitely (see Section 12).
- Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer, including any right of withdrawal that applies to you under the law of your country.
6. Ads, Consent and Privacy
In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the Game shows Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) consent form before personalised ads are served, and you can change your choice at any time from the Game’s settings. Without consent, only non-personalised ads are shown. On iOS the Game also asks for Apple’s App Tracking Transparency permission.
The mobile editions use Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics and Remote Config to understand how the Game is played, fix crashes, and adjust game settings. Full details, including what data is collected and how long it is kept, are in the Privacy Policy.
7. Progress, Saves and Cloud Save
Your family, campaign progress and settings are saved on your device. If you use Google Play Games (Android) or Apple Game Center (iOS), the Game can also sync achievements and a cloud save through that service. Signing in there is optional and governed by Google’s or Apple’s own terms.
We do not guarantee that your progress, achievements, or cloud save will be preserved or recoverable. If you uninstall the Game, clear its data, lose your device, or the cloud service fails or your account is closed, your progress may be lost, and we have no separate copy to restore. A cloud save may be replaced by a newer or conflicting save from another device.
8. User Conduct
You agree to use the Game fairly and lawfully. In particular, you will not exploit bugs to damage the Game or other services, interfere with the ad, purchase, or cloud-save systems, attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or services, or contact us in an abusive or unlawful way. We may suspend or restrict access to online features, such as achievements or cloud sync, for conduct that breaches these Terms.
9. Intellectual Property
All content, story, characters, artwork, music, design, code, and branding in La Famiglia are the property of ZiBa Entertainment or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property law. Some sound effects are used under open licences from their authors. These Terms give you no rights beyond the limited licence in Section 4.
The names La Famiglia and ZiBa Entertainment and their logos are proprietary. You may not use them without prior written permission. The characters, places (including Porto Luce) and events in the Game are fictional, and any resemblance to real persons or places is coincidental.
10. Third-Party Services
The Game relies on third-party services, including Google Play and Google Play Games, Apple App Store and Game Center, Google AdMob and its advertising partners, and Google Firebase. The PC edition relies on Steam. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and ZiBa Entertainment is not responsible for their conduct or availability.
11. Disclaimers
La Famiglia is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ZiBa Entertainment disclaims all warranties including, without limitation:
- That the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or always available.
- That your progress, achievements, or cloud save will be preserved or can be recovered if lost.
- That the Game is free of bugs, viruses, or other harmful components.
- That the Game will be compatible with every device or future operating-system version.
12. Availability and Discontinuation
We may update the Game, add or remove features, change ad and favour settings, or suspend or discontinue the Game or any feature at any time, with or without notice, for technical, legal, or business reasons. You may stop using the Game at any time by uninstalling it. If we permanently discontinue the Game after you bought Premium, we will work with the relevant store on an appropriate remedy where the law requires one.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ZiBa Entertainment and its sole developer Zico Bakker shall not be liable for any:
- Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages;
- Loss of progress, saves, achievements, or in-game items;
- Content of third-party ads or damages arising from third-party services (Google Play, Apple App Store, Google AdMob, Firebase, Play Games, Game Center, Steam).
Where liability cannot be excluded by law (for example for gross negligence or wilful misconduct), our liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the Game or Premium in the 12 months prior to the claim, or (b) €50.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence where such exclusion is prohibited.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold harmless ZiBa Entertainment and Zico Bakker from claims, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or of any third party’s rights.
15. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of La Famiglia shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in the Netherlands.
If you are a consumer in the EU, you also retain the protection of the mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, and you may use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform to resolve disputes.
16. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
17. Changes to These Terms
We may modify these Terms at any time. Changes are reflected by an updated “Effective date” on this page, which is always available at this URL and linked from the Game’s store listings. Continued use of the Game after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the Game.
