Welcome to iEmulator. This User Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into between you and Weigan Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "we," "us," or "our") and governs your download, installation, access to, and use of the iEmulator application and related services (the "Service") on iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and Android.
Please read this Agreement carefully before using the Service, especially provisions concerning disclaimers, limitation of liability, dispute resolution, and governing law. By tapping Agree, installing the app, or otherwise using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
This Agreement works together with our Privacy Policy for iEmulator. Rules for personal information processing are set out in the Privacy Policy.
1.1 iEmulator is a retro game emulator application built on the Libretro framework. Features may include, without limitation: importing and running compatible game ROM files and archives; save states and in-game saves; iCloud save sync for VIP subscribers; rollback netplay over a local network; RetroAchievements integration for VIP subscribers; on-screen virtual controls and external game-controller support; controller skins and configuration tools; cheats and per-core options; BIOS import for systems that require it; and, on iOS / iPadOS, Share, Widget, and Thumbnail extensions. Available features depend on your app version, device, operating system, and the game files you provide. We may update, adjust, or discontinue features from time to time.
1.2 Using Bluetooth controllers, the microphone, local network, iCloud, and other capabilities may require system permissions. On iOS / iPadOS, saving in-game screenshots may request photo-library add permission. Denying a permission may disable related features but does not necessarily prevent use of features that do not require that permission, subject to your build and device.
1.3 The Service does not require you to create an in-app account. On iOS / iPadOS, non-VIP users may use core emulation features subject to the usage limits in Section 1.4. On macOS, launching games requires an active VIP subscription. On Android, core emulation does not require an account. We do not provide, include, or distribute copyrighted game ROM files, BIOS files, or other protected third-party content. You must supply your own legally obtained game files.
1.4 Monetization differs by platform. On iOS / iPadOS, non-VIP users are subject to daily launch limits and may watch rewarded ads to earn additional launches, as described in Sections 4 and 5; access to the Controller Hub is subject to the same limits. When your detected region is mainland China, ads are served through Pangle GroMore mediation (including Pangle and Tencent Ads); in other regions, Google AdMob is used. On macOS, the app does not display ads or apply daily launch quotas; launching games, using the Controller Hub, and accessing certain other advanced features requires an active VIP subscription. VIP purchases on both platforms are offered through Apple In-App Purchase.
1.5 On Android, Premium / VIP entitlements are unlocked through Google Play Billing or equivalent channels when distributed via Google Play or similar channels. When distributed via domestic app stores in mainland China (such as OPPO, vivo, or 360 Mobile Assistant), non-Premium / non-VIP users receive 2 free game launches per day and can earn 2 additional launches by watching rewarded video ads. Ads are served through Pangle GroMore mediation, which may integrate the Pangle Advertising SDK, Tencent Ads Android SDK, Douyin SDK (Android), and related SDKs (see Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.3 of our Privacy Policy for iEmulator). We obtain your consent before initializing any ad SDK. If you choose "Decline (core features only)", we do not initialize ad SDKs; game launch, the game library (Calibration), and daily launch quota require agreeing to ad services.
2.1 You must have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement. If you are a minor, please read this Agreement with your guardian and use the Service only with guardian consent.
2.2 You understand that the Service is provided as a technical tool only. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any ROM files, BIOS files, save data, cheats, or other content you import, copy, run, share, or synchronize through the Service has been lawfully obtained and that your use complies with applicable copyright laws, platform rules, and any rights-holder authorization.
2.3 You must not use the Service to:
2.4 You are solely responsible for all game files, save data, screenshots, and other content you import, export, edit, or transmit through the Service. You bear all complaints, claims, penalties, and losses arising from your violation of law, this Agreement, or third-party rights, and you will indemnify us for losses we suffer as a result.
2.5 We may restrict features, suspend, or terminate access where reasonably necessary to maintain security, comply with law, or cooperate with regulators, and we may report suspected unlawful conduct to competent authorities.
3.1 The software, interface design, icons, documentation, trademarks, and other content in the Service are owned by us or relevant rights holders. Except as required by law or expressly authorized in writing by us, you may not copy, modify, distribute, rent, sell, or create derivative works from them.
3.2 Rights in game files, save data, and other content you import or generate through the Service are determined by your legal relationship with relevant rights holders. Except for network transfers you actively initiate (such as netplay, RetroAchievements sign-in by VIP subscribers, or iCloud sync enabled by VIP subscribers), such data is processed mainly on your device or through services you choose. You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use such data only as necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service on your device. We do not claim ownership of your data on that basis, and we do not use your data for purposes unrelated to the Service.
4.1 On the iOS / iPadOS and macOS builds distributed through the Apple App Store, you may purchase VIP subscriptions or lifetime benefits through Apple In-App Purchase (StoreKit). VIP benefits may include ad-free experience on iOS / iPadOS, unlimited game launches, premium themes, interface customization, iCloud save sync, RetroAchievements access, and related features, as shown in the app. On macOS, an active VIP subscription is required to launch games and use the Controller Hub. Products, prices, and benefit scope are as shown in the app.
4.2 Paid transactions are processed by Apple. We do not collect or store your full payment card numbers or other sensitive payment credentials. We receive only purchase confirmation, subscription status, and product identifiers to unlock the corresponding benefits on your device. Order confirmation, refunds, renewals, cancellation, and invoicing are governed by Apple rules and must be handled in your Apple account or help center.
4.3 On the iOS / iPadOS build, non-VIP users may be subject to daily free launch limits and can earn additional launches by watching rewarded video ads, as described in the app. VIP subscribers with active benefits may not see ads and are not subject to the related usage limits. The macOS build does not apply launch quotas or display ads, but non-VIP users cannot launch games until they purchase VIP.
4.4 Except where mandatory law or app-store rules provide otherwise, digital content or subscription benefits are generally not refundable once purchased or activated. Fees are not refunded if benefits are terminated because you breach this Agreement.
4.5 We may adjust VIP benefits, pricing, or sales methods and will provide reasonable notice in the app or otherwise. Price changes generally do not affect benefits already in effect for an unexpired paid term, unless law or platform rules provide otherwise.
4.6 On Android builds, you may purchase Premium / VIP subscriptions or lifetime benefits through Google Play Billing or domestic app-store billing, depending on your distribution channel. Paid transactions are processed by the relevant store; we do not collect or store your full payment card numbers or other sensitive payment credentials. We receive only purchase confirmation, subscription status, and product identifiers to unlock the corresponding benefits on your device. On Android builds distributed in mainland China, non-Premium / non-VIP users receive 2 free game launches per day and can earn 2 additional launches by watching rewarded video ads. Premium / VIP subscribers with active benefits may not see ads and are not subject to the related usage limits.
5.1 On the iOS / iPadOS or Android build, where a user is not VIP / Premium or benefits do not cover a feature, the Service may display third-party ads (including app-open and rewarded formats). Ad content is provided by third parties, and we do not guarantee its accuracy or legality.
5.2 The Service may integrate third-party SDKs or services (such as advertising, analytics related to ads, cover-art lookup, and store billing). Third parties process information under their own privacy policies and terms. For details on third-party SDKs, see our Privacy Policy for iEmulator.
5.3 On iOS / iPadOS, when your detected region is not mainland China, ads are served through Google AdMob in app-open and rewarded formats. When your detected region is mainland China, ads are served through Pangle GroMore mediation, and an App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt may appear before initialization. You can limit personalized ads or reset advertising identifiers in iOS system settings. The macOS build does not integrate advertising SDKs.
5.4 On Android builds distributed in mainland China, where users are not Premium / VIP subscribers or benefits do not cover the relevant features, ads are served through Pangle GroMore mediation and may integrate third-party SDKs such as the Pangle Advertising SDK, Tencent Ads Android SDK, and Douyin SDK (Android). Non-Premium / non-VIP users receive 2 free game launches per day and can earn 2 additional launches by watching rewarded video ads. SDK names, developers, data collected, purposes, and privacy policy links are described in Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.3 of our Privacy Policy for iEmulator. We obtain your consent before initializing any ad SDK. If you choose "Decline (core features only)", we do not initialize ad SDKs; game launch, the game library (Calibration), and daily launch quota require agreeing to ad services.
5.5 Optional integrations such as RetroAchievements (VIP / Premium subscribers only), iCloud save sync (VIP subscribers only), and netplay involve third-party services or network communication initiated by you. We are not responsible for third-party products, services, or content. Disputes between you and third parties must be resolved by you.
6.1 You understand that emulation, save-state management, BIOS replacement, iCloud synchronization, and netplay may be irreversible or may fail, and can cause save corruption, game incompatibility, sync conflicts, or data loss. Back up data before operations and verify files, cores, and settings. Except where we act with intent or gross negligence, you assume risks and losses arising from such operations.
6.2 The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We use reasonable efforts to keep the Service stable but do not warrant uninterrupted, error-free, fully secure, or permanently compatible operation with any particular ROM, core, controller, or operating-system version. Feature availability may vary across device models, OS versions, and game formats.
6.3 To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for interruption or data loss caused by force majeure, carrier or network failures, device failures, third-party service outages, cyberattacks, government action, or other causes beyond our reasonable control.
6.4 Examples, tutorials, compatibility notes, and external links are for reference only and do not constitute professional advice. You must independently evaluate use in your own context.
7.1 To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising from use of or inability to use the Service, including loss of profits, goodwill, data, or business interruption, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
7.2 Except where mandatory law provides otherwise, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising from the Service is limited to the amount you actually paid through Apple official channels for the paid Service giving rise to the claim in the twelve (12) months before the claim arose; if you did not purchase paid Services, the limit is one hundred (100) CNY.
8.1 We may revise this Agreement from time to time and publish updates in the app, on our website, or by other reasonable means. Revisions take effect on publication or on the effective date stated in the notice. If you do not agree, stop using the Service; continued use constitutes acceptance.
8.2 We may change, suspend, or terminate all or part of the Service for business, legal, or operational reasons and will provide reasonable advance notice where practicable, unless law or regulators require otherwise.
8.3 You may stop using the Service at any time, including by uninstalling the app. If you materially breach this Agreement, we may restrict or terminate access without prior notice and pursue remedies under law.
8.4 Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Provisions that by nature should survive (such as intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution) remain in effect.
9.1 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the mainland of the People's Republic of China, excluding conflict-of-law rules.
9.2 Any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Service shall first be resolved through friendly negotiation. If negotiation fails, either party may bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction at the domicile of Weigan Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd.
10.1 Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.
10.2 If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
10.3 Our failure or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver.
