Terms of Use

Version 1 · Last updated: 17 July 2026

Courtesy translation. This English version is provided for convenience only. The Portuguese original, available at vimperio.org/termos, is the legally binding text and prevails in the event of any discrepancy.

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") govern access to and use of the V Império mobile app and website, as well as all associated services. Please read these Terms carefully. By creating an account, submitting an application or using the Service ("Serviço") in any manner, you declare that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Identification of the provider and acceptance

The Service is operated by VIMPERIO LIMITED, a private limited liability company incorporated under the law of the Republic of Cyprus on 8 August 2024, with registration number ΗΕ 463919 (HE 463919) and registered office at Vyzantiou 40-42, 1st floor, Office 101, 2064 Strovolos, Nicosia, Cyprus ("VImperio", "we" or "the Company").

Contact for all purposes, including legal matters, support and data protection: [email protected]. Website: vimperio.org.

These Terms apply to all users of the Service, whether acting as Candidates ("Candidatos") or as Members ("Membros"). By using the Service, you enter into a legally binding contract with VImperio. If you do not accept these Terms, you may not use the Service.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, the Legal Notice and the Constitution of the V Império. In the event of any conflict on contractual matters between these documents, these Terms prevail.

2. Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms, the following terms have the meaning indicated:

3. Eligibility, registration and admission

The Service is intended exclusively for persons aged 18 or over. By registering, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

Registration requires the creation of an account and the submission of an Application. The Application includes a biography and, as a means of identification, at your choice, an introduction video or an identity verification (KYC) carried out through our processor. The two routes are alternatives: KYC verification is not mandatory for those who opt for the introduction video.

Admission as a Member depends on a community vote. The submission of an Application does not confer any right to admission. VImperio may also refuse or annul an Application for reasons of security, community integrity or non-compliance with these Terms.

Certain actions in the Service, including the application fee, may require payment in Gold, as indicated in the app at the applicable time.

4. Account

You undertake to provide true, accurate and up-to-date information upon registration and in the Application, and to keep it up to date. The provision of false information may result in the refusal of the Application or the termination of the account.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access credentials and for all activity carried out through your account. You must inform us without delay, via [email protected], of any unauthorised use.

You may use a nickname ("alcunha", a public name) distinct from your name. The choice of name and nickname may not infringe the rights of third parties or these Terms, and may be subject to moderation.

5. Conduct and User Content

You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting or transmitting it through the Service, you grant VImperio a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, technically adapt and display that content, to the extent necessary to operate and make the Service available. This licence remains in force for as long as the content is present on the Service and ends when you remove it, without prejudice to backup copies and legal retention obligations. This licence does not cover private communications, namely chat messages and direct messages, or private notes, the processing of which is governed exclusively by the Privacy Policy.

You undertake not to post or transmit content that is unlawful, defamatory, offensive, discriminatory or fraudulent, that infringes third parties' intellectual property or privacy rights, or that disrupts the operation of the Service. Harassment, fraud, impersonation, the sending of unsolicited bulk content and attempts to circumvent security mechanisms are prohibited.

VImperio may moderate, restrict, remove or render inaccessible User Content that infringes these Terms or the law, and may suspend accounts, in accordance with clause 14.

Reporting unlawful content. Anyone may notify us of content they consider unlawful, via [email protected], indicating the location of the content, the reason for its unlawfulness and their contact details. We will review the notification and take appropriate measures, including, where applicable, removing the content and informing the affected user.

6. Gold

Gold is a closed-loop prepaid credit, intended solely for use within the Service, namely for application fees, subscription fees, the Shop, Events and Auctions. Gold does not constitute electronic money or a payment instrument, and does not represent a deposit.

Gold is purchased in euros, by card, through the payment processor Revolut, at the fixed rate of 1 EUR = 100 Gold cents. Gold:

Any commissions in euros paid to resellers or distributors are governed by separate contract and do not constitute redemption or refund of Gold.

The treatment of Gold upon termination of the account is set out in clause 14. These provisions do not affect the mandatory consumer rights provided for in clause 19.

7. Honour and SVCP

Honour is a merit metric, awarded on the basis of activity on the Service. Honour cannot be purchased, is not transferable, is never decremented, has no pecuniary value and is not refundable. Honour does not confer any right of claim against VImperio.

The SVCP requires a minimum level of continued participation in the Service. Prolonged non-compliance may give rise, in stages, to warnings, to suspension of the account and, ultimately, to its termination. The specific parameters of the SVCP are defined and may be changed within the app, where they are described in up-to-date form. By using the Service, you acknowledge and accept this mechanism.

8. Auctions

The Auction is an ascending-price bidding mechanism: the highest bidder wins, acquiring the corresponding good or ticket. There may be a guarantee or pre-authorisation on the card, through Revolut, and automatic bidding (autobid), as described in the app. By bidding, you undertake to pay if you are the winning bidder.

In Auctions, the seller is a Member. VImperio acts as an intermediary, providing the platform and payment facilitation, and retains a share of the amount (revenue share), as indicated in the app. VImperio is not a party to the underlying sale and purchase, except where it expressly indicates otherwise.

Online marketplace. In Auctions between Members, VImperio is merely an intermediary: the seller is the Member, and it is the Member who is responsible for the delivery and conformity of the good or ticket. The app indicates, for each offer, whether the seller declares that they are acting as a trader; where they are not, it is a sale between private individuals, to which EU consumer rights do not apply.

As a commercial ascending-price auction, with no element of chance whatsoever, the Auction does not constitute a game of chance or a bet.

9. Events and tickets

Events may involve the purchase of tickets. Free tickets are created only by VImperio administrators. Where an Event is created by a Member and sells tickets, VImperio acts as an intermediary, and clause 8 applies, with the necessary adaptations, as regards the roles of the parties and the trader or non-trader status of the seller.

The specific conditions of each Event, including date, venue, price and any access or refund rules, are those indicated in the app at the time of purchase.

10. The Shop

In the Shop, VImperio is the seller and trader. Invoices identify "Vimperio Limited" as the seller.

The applicable prices are those indicated in the app at the time of the order and include VAT where due. VImperio issues the corresponding invoice, with VAT itemised in accordance with clause 13.

Before the order is completed, the app presents the main characteristics of the good, the total price and the delivery costs and times, and identifies the order completion button unambiguously as regards the payment obligation arising from it.

Physical goods must be in conformity with the contract. The legal guarantees of conformity provided for in consumer law apply. In the event of a defect or lack of conformity, contact [email protected].

11. 14-day right of withdrawal (consumers, Shop only)

If you are a consumer and reside in the European Union, you have, in respect of purchases in the Shop, a right of withdrawal within 14 days, with no need to give any reason. This right applies to distance contracts concluded with VImperio as seller. It does not apply to Auctions or Events, in which VImperio acts as an intermediary between Members.

The 14-day period runs, in the case of physical goods, from the day on which the consumer, or a third party indicated by the consumer, acquires physical possession of the goods; in the case of service contracts or digital content, from the date of conclusion of the contract.

How to exercise it. To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us of your decision unequivocally, before the period expires, at [email protected]. You may use the model form below, although this is not obligatory. In the event of valid withdrawal, we will reimburse all payments received, without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the date on which we were informed of the decision, and we may withhold the reimbursement until we have received the goods back or proof of their dispatch. The reimbursement is made using the same means of payment used for the purchase, unless expressly agreed otherwise, without any costs arising for the consumer as a result. The consumer must return the goods within 14 days of communicating the withdrawal decision and bears the direct cost of returning them, unless otherwise indicated.

Legal exceptions. The right of withdrawal does not apply, in particular:

In respect of digital content supplied without a tangible medium, and before the supply begins, the app obtains the consumer's prior express consent and their acknowledgement that, once performance begins, they lose the right of withdrawal, and VImperio sends confirmation of the contract on a durable medium, by e-mail. In the absence of any of these three elements, the right of withdrawal is retained.

Model withdrawal form

(Complete and return this form only if you wish to withdraw from the contract.)

12. Tertúlias and subscriptions

Tertúlias are circles or clubs subject to the payment of a periodic fee (subscription). Unless otherwise indicated in the app, subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, with a new fee being charged, until the subscription is cancelled.

You may cancel the renewal at any time through the app, cancellation being as simple as subscribing. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid for, with access to the Tertúlia maintained until that date, unless a legal provision more favourable to the consumer applies. Where the law of the country of your habitual residence so requires, we will notify you before each renewal, by e-mail or notification. The specific conditions of each Tertúlia, including the amount and periodicity of the fee, are those indicated in the app.

13. Prices, payments, invoices and taxes

The prices in euros and in Gold are those indicated in the app at the time of the transaction. Payments in euros are processed by card through Revolut. VImperio does not store full card numbers, which are handled by Revolut.

VImperio is registered for VAT purposes under number CY60091641P and issues the applicable invoicing documents with VAT itemised. VAT is included in the price and is determined on the basis of the country and the type of purchaser, in accordance with European Union rules; in sales to businesses, the reverse charge mechanism may apply. Financial records and invoices are retained in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

Unless otherwise indicated, prices include any taxes payable by VImperio. Any taxes or charges for which the user is responsible are borne by the user.

14. Suspension and termination

You may terminate your account at any time, through the app or by contacting [email protected].

VImperio may suspend or terminate access to the Service, in whole or in part, in the event of a breach of these Terms or the law, of a risk to the security or integrity of the community, or of prolonged non-compliance with the SVCP, in accordance with clause 7. Whenever reasonable and legally permissible, we will inform the user and provide an opportunity to respond.

Effects on Gold and Honour. Honour has no pecuniary value and is extinguished upon termination of the account, without any right to compensation. As regards any remaining Gold balance:

These provisions are without prejudice to any applicable mandatory consumer rights or to the provisions of the law.

15. Intellectual property

The "V Império" trade mark, the app, the website, the software, the design, the texts, the graphic elements and the other content made available by VImperio are the property of VImperio or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property rights. No right is granted over these elements beyond what is strictly necessary for the use of the Service as provided for herein.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, decompile or commercially exploit the Service or its content, except with express authorisation or legal permission.

16. Exclusions and limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available". VImperio does not warrant that the Service will be free from interruptions or errors.

In Auctions and Events between Members, VImperio acts as an intermediary and is not liable for the performance of the Member seller's obligations or for the quality, authenticity or delivery of the underlying good or ticket, without prejudice to its legal duties as a platform and payment facilitator.

To the extent permitted by law, VImperio is not liable for indirect damages, loss of profits or loss of data. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including in cases of wilful misconduct or gross negligence, nor does it affect the mandatory rights conferred on you by consumer law.

17. Privacy

The processing of personal data in connection with the Service is governed by the Privacy Policy, which describes the categories of data, the purposes, the legal bases, the processors, the retention periods and the rights of the data subject. When using the Service, you should read the Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to the Terms

VImperio may amend these Terms, in particular to reflect legal or technical changes or changes to the Service. Amendments are published at vimperio.org, with an indication of the date of update. Where the amendments are substantial, we will seek to give reasonable advance notice, through the app or by e-mail. Continued use of the Service after the amendments take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the amendments, you may terminate your account in accordance with clause 14.

19. Applicable law, jurisdiction and dispute resolution

These Terms and the use of the Service are governed by the law of the Republic of Cyprus.

If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the mandatory protections afforded to you by the law of the country of your habitual residence. As a consumer, you may only be sued in the courts of the country of your habitual residence, and you may sue VImperio in the courts of that country or in the courts of Cyprus. The jurisdiction of the courts of Cyprus applies in full only to users who are not consumers.

The European Commission's European online dispute resolution (ODR) platform has been discontinued. For the resolution of any consumer disputes, you may have recourse to the competent alternative dispute resolution bodies in the country of your habitual residence. You may also contact us directly at [email protected], with a view to an amicable resolution.
