Terms of Service

Last updated: August 2, 2026

Owner Mode is run by The Oldford Company LLC. Using the game means you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.

What Owner Mode is

A business simulator. You run a fictional online business, or one shaped like yours, through a simulated year. It exists to help you learn and to be worth playing.

What it is not: advice. The simulation, its numbers, and the in-game mentor are educational tools. The mentor is AI and can be wrong. Nothing here is business, financial, legal, or tax advice, and no outcome in the game is a promise about your real business. Real decisions are yours, and a professional who knows your situation beats a simulator every time.

Your account

Your data

The numbers and text you put into the game stay yours. You give us permission to store and process them to run the service, as the Privacy Policy describes, and nothing more.

Our work

The game, its engine, design, and writing belong to The Oldford Company LLC. Play it as much as you like. Do not copy it, resell it, scrape it, or pass its content off as your own.

Fair use of a free thing

The honest disclaimer

Owner Mode is provided as is, free of charge. We work to keep it accurate, online, and useful, and we do not guarantee any of those. To the fullest extent the law allows, The Oldford Company LLC is not liable for decisions you make based on a simulation, and our total liability to you is capped at the amount you paid us for Owner Mode, which is zero.

Changes

If these terms change in a way that matters, we will say so plainly on this page and update the date at the top. Playing after a change means you accept it.
