1. Who these terms apply to
These Terms of Use apply to anyone who accesses ScoreSocial. ScoreSocial is operated by Dean Reid. These terms apply together with the Privacy and Data Policy, the Cookie and Local Storage Policy, and, for organisers, the Organiser and Billing Terms.
2. What ScoreSocial does
ScoreSocial provides football prediction leagues, social leaderboards, organisations, pools, events, admin tools, invite codes, access requests, branding, exports, notifications, support tools, and web/PWA/mobile companion flows.
ScoreSocial is not a betting, lottery, staking, prize-fund, escrow, winnings, or payout platform.
3. Eligibility and acceptance
You must be at least 18 years old to use ScoreSocial. By registering, joining, or requesting access, you confirm that you meet this age requirement and accept the current Terms and Privacy and Data Policy.
We record the terms version, privacy version, age threshold, source, and acceptance time for new registration and join flows.
4. Accounts and access
- You must provide accurate account information.
- You are responsible for keeping your PIN, session, and device secure.
- You must not share accounts, impersonate others, or try to access another user's account.
- Discoverable, requests allowed leagues appear in public search but require organiser approval; Open, instant join leagues appear in search and admit players immediately; Invite only leagues never appear in discovery and require a valid invite.
- The platform-owned Global League is joined only by an explicit action, uses online entries only, may show public profiles and rankings, and is administered and moderated only by ScoreSocial Full-Admins.
- Access may be removed if you breach these terms, organiser rules, or platform safety rules.
5. Prediction cards, pools, events, and leaderboards
- Prediction deadlines, scoring rules, fixture rules, and event rules may vary by organisation or feature.
- Entries may lock after deadlines or when fixtures start, depending on the configured workflow.
- Scores and standings may be calculated from third-party sports data and internal scoring rules.
- Access to a sports-data API does not itself grant ScoreSocial rights to publish competition data, badges, crests, logos, or trademarks. ScoreSocial may omit such assets and may suspend a competition until the necessary rights are confirmed.
- Results, rankings, allocations, and event standings may be corrected if data errors or scoring issues are found.
- Leaderboards are for sporting prediction and social ranking only. The Global League is an entertainment feature with no ScoreSocial prize, stake, winnings, or payout.
- A paper entry may be submitted and assigned only by an authorised organiser who has checked the physical slip, player identity, deadline receipt, and extracted picks.
6. No betting, stakes, or prize funds
You must not use ScoreSocial to place bets, accept bets, collect stakes, hold funds, advertise odds, run lotteries, run paid-entry prize competitions, run regulated sweepstakes, pay winnings, distribute prize funds, or otherwise facilitate wagering or regulated gaming.
| Activity | ScoreSocial position |
|---|---|
| Free social prediction leagues | Allowed when they follow these terms and organiser rules. |
| Player stakes, entry payments, betting payments, or prize funds | Not allowed on or through ScoreSocial. |
| External money or prize arrangements linked to prediction outcomes | Not approved or administered by ScoreSocial; organisers are responsible for their own compliance. |
7. Acceptable use
You must not use ScoreSocial to:
- Harass, bully, threaten, abuse, discriminate against, or target others.
- Submit unlawful, misleading, harmful, sexually explicit, hateful, or infringing content.
- Use club names, trademarks, logos, or images unless you have the right to use them.
- Scrape, automate, reverse-engineer, overload, or interfere with the service.
- Bypass bans, rate limits, security controls, or account restrictions.
- Upload malware or attempt unauthorised access to accounts, data, providers, or systems.
The standalone Acceptable Use Policy remains available as a detailed reference.
8. User content and intellectual property
User content may include usernames, display names, organisation names, logos, branding, event names, pool names, descriptions, paper-entry slips and written names/picks, bug reports, screenshots, and other submitted text or media. You must have the rights needed to submit content.
Users and organisers retain responsibility for their submitted content, and grant ScoreSocial the rights needed to host, display, process, moderate, back up, and operate that content as part of the service.
9. Moderation and enforcement
ScoreSocial may warn users, remove or rename content, suspend accounts, remove organisations, disable features, or terminate access where needed to protect users, organisers, providers, the platform, or legal compliance.
To report content, safety, IP, or security concerns, contact support@scoresocial.app.
10. Billing and subscriptions
Paid organiser self-serve checkout is not available in this release. Paid access is handled by invitation or direct support contact only.
Organiser subscription rules are set out in the Organiser and Billing Terms. Stripe billing is for organiser software subscriptions only and must not be used for player entry payments, stakes, prize funds, winnings, regulated gaming funds, or payouts.
11. Data export and deletion
Personal product exports provide account and prediction data and are available on every league plan. Statutory privacy rights are handled separately. See Data Export and Subject Access Requests and Data Deletion and Account Closure.
12. Availability, changes, and liability
ScoreSocial is provided on an as-available basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, fixture availability, sports data accuracy, notification delivery, offline sync success, or app-store availability.
Nothing in these terms limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so. To the fullest extent permitted by law, ScoreSocial is not responsible for indirect losses, loss of profits, loss of goodwill, third-party service failures, sports data errors, organiser conduct, or external payment/prize arrangements.
13. Governing law, complaints, and contact
These terms are intended to be governed by the laws of England and Wales, subject to mandatory consumer rights that may apply in a user's location.
Questions, complaints, or appeal requests can be sent to support@scoresocial.app.
