01 About these Terms
These Terms govern your use of our website at scorebattle.com, our mobile applications and any related features, content or services we provide (together, the "Platform"). They should be read together with our Privacy Notice (see Section 14) and any additional rules we publish for specific competitions or promotions.
02 Definitions
- Account — the personal profile you create to use the Platform.
- Prediction — a forecast you submit for the outcome or score of a fixture.
- Fixture / Match — a football match made available for prediction.
- League — a public or private group in which Users compete on a leaderboard.
- Points — the in-game score awarded for predictions; Points have no monetary value.
- User / you — any person who accesses or uses the Platform.
- Content — any text, images, names, results, statistics, software and other material available on the Platform.
03 Eligibility & age
To use ScoreBattle you must be at least 18 years old (or such higher age required by the laws of your country). The Platform is not intended for children and we do not knowingly allow anyone under 18 to register or compete.
You must have the legal capacity to enter into this agreement and you must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of your country of residence. We may restrict access from territories where the Service would be unlawful or impractical to provide.
04 Your account
You must register an Account to participate. When you register you agree to provide accurate, current and complete information and to keep it up to date.
- You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your Account.
- You may not share, sell or transfer your Account, or create an Account using another person's identity.
- One person may hold only one Account unless we expressly permit otherwise. Multiple or automated ("bot") accounts used to manipulate leaderboards are prohibited.
- You must notify us promptly at support@scorebattle.com if you suspect any unauthorised use of your Account.
05 The service
ScoreBattle lets you predict the results of football matches across a range of competitions, earn Points based on the accuracy of your predictions, climb global and private leaderboards, and compete with friends. Features may include pre-match predictions, live in-match challenges, private leagues, statistics and notifications.
The fixtures and competitions available may change over time. We may add, change, suspend or remove features, fixtures, competitions or rules at any time to improve the Service, comply with the law, or for operational reasons. Participation is free; we are not obliged to keep any particular fixture, league or feature available.
06 Predictions & scoring
Predictions must be submitted before the cut-off time shown for each fixture (usually kick-off). Once submitted, a prediction is locked and cannot be changed. If a prediction is not received before the cut-off, it will not score.
Points are awarded automatically according to the scoring rules published on the Platform, which may be updated from time to time. Points are purely a game score: they have no cash value, cannot be exchanged, redeemed, transferred or withdrawn, and do not constitute money, credit or any financial instrument.
Match results are taken from the data sources we use. Where a fixture is abandoned, postponed, rescheduled, or where a result is later corrected by the official authority, we may void, recalculate or re-settle the affected predictions. Our determination of results, scoring and rankings is final, save for manifest error.
07 Private leagues
You may create or join private leagues and invite others using an invite link or code. If you create a private league, you are responsible for the people you invite and for any name or description you give the league, which must comply with the acceptable-use rules in Section 11.
When you accept an invitation, your display name, avatar and league standings may be visible to other members of that league. We are not responsible for the conduct of other league members.
08 Prizes & rewards
From time to time we may run competitions or promotions that offer prizes or rewards. Any such prize is subject to its own specific rules published at the time, which form part of these Terms for that promotion. Unless a promotion expressly states otherwise:
- standard gameplay does not entitle you to any cash payment, and Points are never redeemable for money;
- we may verify eligibility before awarding any prize and may disqualify Users who breach these Terms or attempt to cheat;
- where required, you are responsible for any taxes arising from a prize you receive.
09 Not a gambling service
ScoreBattle is a free, skill-based prediction game. It is not a betting, gambling or wagering service. You do not stake or risk money to play, and Points have no monetary value and cannot be cashed out. No payment is required to participate in standard gameplay.
ScoreBattle does not accept bets, hold customer funds for wagering, or operate as a bookmaker, and it does not require a gambling licence to provide the prediction game described in these Terms.
10 Third-party & affiliate links
The Platform may display links or advertisements to third-party websites or services, including, in certain territories, licensed sports-betting operators. These are provided for information and convenience only.
- Some links may be affiliate links, meaning we may receive a commission if you register with or use a third party after following the link, at no extra cost to you.
- Third-party services are operated independently and are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, products, services or practices.
- Any decision to gamble is entirely your own. Gambling involves financial risk and may be subject to age and licensing restrictions in your country. Please gamble responsibly. If gambling is affecting you, support is available through your national responsible-gambling organisation.
11 Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose;
- cheat, collude, exploit bugs, or use bots, scripts or automated means to gain an unfair advantage or distort leaderboards;
- upload or display content that is offensive, defamatory, hateful, harassing, obscene, or that infringes the rights of others;
- impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform, other accounts, or our systems, or to interfere with, disrupt or overload them;
- scrape, copy, resell or commercially exploit the Service or its data without our written permission;

You may provide content such as a username, avatar, league names and messages ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and use it as necessary to operate and promote the Service.
You are responsible for your User Content and confirm that you have the right to share it and that it does not breach these Terms or any law. We may remove or moderate User Content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms.

17 Disclaimers
The Platform, including all fixtures, odds, statistics and results, is provided for entertainment and informational purposes only.
