Terms of Use

Last updated: 10 November 2026

These terms govern how you may play Nordreich and what applies to purchases in the game.

1. Provider and scope

Nordreich is offered by Silverback Ecom GmbH (address in the legal notice), “we” below. These terms apply to the game Nordreich on all devices and to everything you buy in it. The community rules are part of these terms. The terms of the store you downloaded the app from (Apple App Store or Google Play) apply as well.

2. Contract, account and age

The contract for using the game is concluded when you accept these terms in the game on first start (“Agree and play”). The game itself is free.

You must be at least 13 years old, or at least 14 in Québec (Canada). If you are not yet 18, you need the consent of your parents or other legal guardians to play, and above all for purchases: without their consent, a purchase as a rule only becomes valid once they approve it; if you pay for it with money they have given you for that purpose or for you to use freely, for example pocket money, it is valid (Sections 107 to 110 BGB).

Each save belongs to one person. You may not sell it, give it away or let others use it. Without signing in, your save belongs only to your device: if you delete the app or lose the device, you can no longer reach it. So connect it with Apple or Google in the game.

3. The game

Nordreich is an online game and needs an internet connection. We aim for uninterrupted operation but cannot guarantee it, for example during maintenance or disruptions beyond our control. At your request, the game notifies you with notifications (push) about events in your game; you switch them on in the game and can switch them off at any time. We never send advertising this way.

We keep developing the game and only change it for one of these valid reasons: to keep it balanced, so that no warrior, building, item or way of playing permanently outdoes the others and everyone has a fair chance; to bring new content; to fix bugs and prevent abuse; to adapt it to new devices, operating systems or more players; to meet legal requirements. In doing so, we make sure that paid content keeps its essential benefit. This costs you nothing. We list every such change for you with its date in the game under Settings → “Changes to the game” and on the page Changes to the game.

If a change impairs your access to the game or its usability more than only insignificantly, we tell you beforehand in the game, clearly and comprehensibly, what changes and from when; you can save the notice. You can then end the contract free of charge by deleting your account (Section 327r BGB): up to 30 days after the change or, if you only confirm the notice in the game with “Got it” after that, up to 30 days after your confirmation. Before deleting, write to us at support@nordreich.eu with your support code; we then refund you the part of the price for pass and subscription that falls on the time after the change. We do not pay out runes (section 4); you can keep spending them until you delete your account.

4. Runes, items and other content in the game

Runes are the game's currency. Items (for example speed-ups and relocation charters), goods, warriors, banners, sails and all other content in the game are not real goods. For all of this content:

• You receive a simple, non-transferable right to use it in Nordreich under these terms. You do not acquire ownership of it.
• When you spend runes in the game, for example on speed-ups, items, an exchange or a new name, you are using this right. In doing so, you do not make another purchase with money.
• It has no monetary value. We do not exchange it for money or pay it out, not even when the contract ends or we shut the game down. Anything you are mandatorily entitled to by law remains unaffected.
• You may not sell, buy or trade it outside the game, not even together with a save. Only what the game itself offers is allowed, such as trading goods with members of your clan. Runes can never be traded.
• Purchased runes apply only to the save that paid for them.
• You see what a piece of content costs in runes before every spend. If we raise the rune price of content that already exists, we announce this in the game at least 30 days in advance (section 3); until then, the old price applies. New content and lower prices can come at once.
• Runes and items that have been used are gone.

Inviting friends (“Call companions”)

With your invite code you invite friends. A new save can follow an invite code once, in its first days and before its first goals. Rewards are given only for real play: if your companion reaches the stages named in the game (certain goals, days played and a connected account with Game Center or Google Play Games that has never been a companion's account before), you both receive the reward shown in the game; you get runes for up to a maximum number of companions named in the game. There is nothing for installs, for your friends' purchases or for merely sharing. When you invite someone, say that you get a reward if your friend plays; the text the game suggests already says so. Only invite people who agree to it, and do not send mass messages. Using further saves of your own, or bought or made-up accounts, as companions breaks section 11; we may take back rewards gained this way (section 12).

5. Purchases

You make purchases in the game through your device's store, that is with Apple or Google. Their terms govern payment, invoices, prices in your currency and refunds. We receive no payment details.

A purchase is credited to your save as soon as our server has verified it with Apple or Google. It applies to the save that paid for it. You get one-time purchases and subscriptions back with “Restore purchases” in the shop or in the settings. If a purchase does not arrive, write to us (Help).

If you buy a one-time purchase that your save already has, or a pass that already applies to the current and the next season, you receive runes instead, in the value stated with the product.

Sometimes we compare two variants of the shop, for example different contents of a pack or different rune prices of items. Which variant you see is decided by chance, not by how you play; we do not adjust prices to you personally. Higher rune prices are only seen by those who join the game after the comparison has begun.

6. Right of withdrawal

You make purchases with real money not with us but with the store: with Apple Distribution International Ltd. (Ireland) for Apple, with Google Commerce Ltd. (Ireland) for Google. Their terms govern whether and how you can withdraw from such a purchase. The store gives you the information on withdrawal when you buy, and you withdraw there: for Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com, for Google in the order history of your Google account. For digital content that is provided immediately, the right of withdrawal expires if, before the purchase, you expressly agreed that provision begins immediately and confirmed that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal (Section 356(6) BGB). If you withdraw from a purchase, section 5 applies as for a refund.

7. Saga Pass and Clan Pass

• A pass applies to one Thing Season (28 days). How long the current season still runs is shown with the pass before you buy it.
• If you buy it in the last 7 days of a season, it also applies to the next season. If you buy it a second time in the same season, that purchase applies to the next season. Which season a purchase applies to, with its start and end, is shown in the shop right next to the buy button.
• You collect rewards you have reached until 3 days after the end of the season. After that they expire.
• You can only buy the Clan Pass as a member of a clan. Only you receive its premium rewards, not the other members.

8. Subscription “Odin's Favour”

• The subscription brings more production in your settlement, longer production while you are not playing, and daily runes that you collect in the game. What exactly it brings and what it costs is shown in the shop before you buy.
• It runs for one month and renews for another month each time unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• You can only cancel and manage it in your store account (in the shop: “Manage subscription”). Deleting the app or your account does not cancel the subscription.
• After cancelling, it remains active until the end of the paid period. The daily runes are available on the save that paid for it.
• If we change what the subscription brings, we tell you in the game beforehand. You can then cancel before the change applies to you.

9. Clan gifts and the War Horn of the Clan

• Some offers include a clan gift. You receive the offer's contents, and the other members of your clan also receive a chest. This is shown with the offer before you buy.
• The chests go to your clan immediately. They cannot be exchanged, returned or assigned to another player. Members can open them for 72 hours. How many chests a player can open per day is limited.
• If you are alone in your clan or in none, the gift waits for the first other member.
• Other members have no claim against us to a gift.
• The War Horn makes your clan's ships hit the Sea Serpent harder for a few hours. It sounds at most once a week per clan. If it would bring nothing more that week, it waits for the next. It does not increase the share of the loot or the Sea Serpent's level.
• You can only buy clan offers as a member of a clan.

10. Expansion Hoard

The Expansion Hoard is a one-time purchase. It brings runes once for each of the longhouse levels named in the offer, immediately for levels already reached. It applies only to the save that paid for it.

11. Rules for the game

The community rules apply to chat and names. In addition, the following are prohibited:

• cheats, bots, macros and other programs that play for you or give you an advantage, and any modification of the app or its connection to our server;
• exploiting bugs in the game instead of reporting them to us;
• using further saves of your own to give a save an advantage;
• trading saves, runes or other content for real money or other consideration outside the game;
• disrupting the operation of the game or accessing other players' data.

12. Measures for violations

If you break these terms or the community rules, we may, depending on severity, frequency and fault:

• hide or delete messages, reset names and descriptions;
• mute you in chat, for up to 30 days;
• take back advantages gained unlawfully;
• in case of serious or repeated violations, terminate the contract without notice. Your save is then deleted.

Independently of this, a clan's Chieftain and Hersir can delete messages in the clan's chat, mute members there for up to 24 hours and remove them from the clan. These are decisions of the clan, not measures taken by us. If someone breaks the community rules in doing so, report it to us.

Before we terminate, we warn you in the game and tell you which rule you broke (formal warning). We terminate without a prior warning only if you declare that you will continue the violation, or if we cannot reasonably be expected to continue the contract: in the case of criminal offences against other players, content that endangers children, fraud with purchases, refunds or saves, and if you deliberately disrupt the operation of the game. In any case, we inform you of the intended termination and its reason in the game beforehand and give you 14 days to respond; only then do we decide. We tell you our decision with its reasons in the game before we delete your save, and in doing so we address what you said.

A word filter masks forbidden words automatically and, in the case of a clear insult or degrading term, mutes the sender in all chats for 10 minutes. A message in the world chat that several players report is hidden automatically until a moderator decides. All other measures are taken by people, on our behalf and according to our guidelines.

We inform you of a measure in the game with its reasons unless the law forbids it. You can appeal against a decision, including an automated one, within 6 months, in the game with “Object” or to support@nordreich.eu; a person reviews your appeal. Independently of this, the courts are open to you. Anyone can also report illegal content by email, without a game account (community rules, section 6).

If we terminate for good cause for which you are responsible, we do not refund purchased runes or other purchases, unless the law mandatorily entitles you to something. A running subscription does not end by itself: cancel it in your store account. For paid subscription time after the end of the contract, we refund you the pro rata price on request.

13. Rights to content

The game, with its graphics, music, texts and software, is protected by copyright. You may use it only as these terms allow. You may show videos and images from the game privately and on your own channels, including with ad revenue on those channels, as long as you do not give the impression of acting on our behalf.

What you write in the game (names, messages, descriptions) must be yours or you must be allowed to use it. You allow us to show it in the game as long as the game needs it.

14. Term and termination

The contract runs for an indefinite period. You can end it at any time by deleting your account (see Delete your account). Your runes, items and any running pass are then lost along with your save; the game points this out to you before you delete it. Anything you are mandatorily entitled to by law remains unaffected. A subscription does not end when you delete your account: cancel it beforehand in your store account.

We can terminate the contract with 60 days' notice, for example if we shut the game down (section 15). We then refund you the part of the price for pass and subscription that falls on the time after the contract ends; we do not pay out runes (section 4). Both sides' right to terminate without notice for good cause remains unaffected (section 12).

15. Shutting down the game

We may shut Nordreich down permanently. In that case:

• We announce the shutdown at least 60 days in advance in the game and on the page Changes to the game, in the same way as a change under section 3.
• From the announcement, we no longer sell runes, passes or other offers, and we end subscriptions so that they no longer renew.
• Until the shutdown, you can keep using your runes and items.
• After the shutdown, we refund you the part of the price for pass and subscription that falls on the time after the shutdown. We do not pay out runes (section 4). To claim it, write to us at support@nordreich.eu, with your support code or the order number of a purchase; we transfer the amount to you within 14 days.
• The page Changes to the game remains available with all notices at least until the end of the third calendar year after the shutdown.

16. Defects

The statutory rights for defects apply.

17. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the German Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee. For slight negligence, we are only liable if we breach an obligation whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on whose compliance you may regularly rely, and then only for the foreseeable, typical damage. Otherwise, liability is excluded.

18. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms or the community rules, the game shows you the new version, tells you what changes and from which day it applies; this day is at least 60 days after the announcement. It applies to you only once you accept it; silence never counts as acceptance. Until that day, you keep playing under the previous version even without accepting it. If you have not accepted it by then, the contract ends on that day (section 14), and we refund you the part of the price for pass and subscription that falls on the time after that; you can spend your runes until then, but we cannot pay them out (section 4). If you do accept later after all, you play on with your save. If you delete your account before then, on request we refund you the share from the deletion onwards; write to us with your support code before you delete your account.

19. Dispute resolution

We are neither obliged nor willing to take part in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board. For questions or complaints, write to us at support@nordreich.eu.

20. Final provisions

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory provisions of the country where you habitually reside, insofar as they protect you better than German law.

If you are a consumer, you can sue us before the courts at your domicile or at our registered office, and we can only sue you before the courts at your domicile. If you conclude this contract as a merchant for your commercial business, as a legal entity under public law or as a special fund under public law, Berlin is the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes arising from this contract.

These terms are available in German, English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Czech, Romanian, Turkish, Russian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (Simplified). You conclude the contract in the language in which you accept it. If a provision is invalid, the remaining provisions stay valid.
