5. Football Data and Third-Party Providers

Reporting and Blocking

ZilScore has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You can report any comment or reply using the Report option in the app, and block users so you no longer see their content. We review reports within 24 hours and remove content that violates these Terms. Users who post such content may have their accounts suspended or permanently removed.

7. Content License

Your License to Us

By posting User Content on ZilScore, you grant ZilScore a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, display, and perform that content in connection with the Services and our business operations.

This license is necessary so that we can display your content within the app, store it on our servers, and feature it across our platforms.

Deletion. This license ends when you delete your User Content or your account, except for: (a) copies already shared with or saved by other users, (b) content already incorporated into features such as aggregated poll results, and (c) copies we are required to retain by law. This ensures the license stays consistent with your right to delete your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

Our Content License to You

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ZilScore grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services in accordance with these Terms. You may not:

• Reproduce, distribute, or publicly display any content from the Services without our written permission
• Modify, create derivative works of, or republish content from the Services
• Remove copyright notices, trademarks, or other proprietary markings
• Use the Services to build a competing product or service

Intellectual Property

All content, design, code, logos, and trademarks of ZilScore are owned by ZilScore or our licensors and are protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Third-party trademarks (including football club crests, league logos, and competition names) remain the property of their respective owners. Their use within ZilScore is for identification and editorial purposes only and does not imply affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship.

8. Copyright and DMCA

ZilScore respects intellectual property rights and complies with applicable copyright laws, including the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe content displayed on ZilScore infringes your copyright, please send a notice to support@zilscore.com with the following information:

1. Your name, address, telephone number, and email
2. A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed
3. The exact location (URL or in-app reference) of the allegedly infringing material
4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized

We will review and respond to valid notices within 10 business days. For more details, see our Copyright and DMCA Policy.

Repeat infringers will have their accounts terminated.

9. Advertising

ZilScore is free to use and may show two kinds of advertising:

• Sponsored adverts from our direct partners — clearly marked as "Sponsored", reviewed and approved by ZilScore before display, managed directly by us, and not personalized using your personal data.
• Ads provided by Google AdMob — such as banner ads, full-screen ads between screens, and optional video ads. These are selected and delivered by Google. They are personalized only where you have given consent where the law requires it; otherwise they are non-personalized. How information is used for advertising is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Watching an optional video ad may give you a limited period without ads. This is entirely optional, and we may change the length of that period or stop offering it at any time.

ZilScore is not responsible for the products, services, claims, or conduct of third-party advertisers. Any transactions you enter into with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

10. Subscriptions (Go ad-free)

ZilScore offers an optional, auto-renewing subscription called Go ad-free, available monthly or yearly. It removes ads provided by Google AdMob (banner, full-screen, and video ads) from the app. Sponsored adverts from our direct partners, which are clearly marked as "Sponsored", may still appear.

• Price: The price of each plan is shown in the app before you subscribe, in your local currency, and may vary by country. Taxes may apply.
• Payment: Payment is charged to your Apple Account (App Store) or Google Play account when you confirm the purchase.
• Automatic renewal: Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period (monthly or yearly) at the then-current price, unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Cancelling: You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your account settings: on iPhone, in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions; on Android, in the Google Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. If you cancel, you keep Go ad-free until the end of the period you have already paid for.
• Deleting the app or your account does not cancel your subscription. Please cancel it in your App Store or Google Play account settings to stop future charges.
• Refunds: Payments are handled by Apple or Google, and refund requests are subject to their refund policies. We cannot issue refunds for purchases made through the App Store or Google Play.
• Price changes: If the price of your subscription changes, you will be notified in advance as required by Apple or Google and, where required, asked to accept the new price before it applies.
• Restoring purchases: If you change or reinstall your device, use Restore purchases in the app with the same App Store or Google Play account.

If you downloaded ZilScore from the Apple App Store, your use of the app is also subject to Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

11. Prohibited Activities

In addition to the restrictions in Section 6, you agree not to:

• Violate any applicable local, national, or international law or regulation
• Engage in fraudulent or deceptive activities
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to other accounts, computer systems, or networks

• Modify, adapt, or hack the Services
• Frame or mirror any portion of the Services without our express written consent
• Use the Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair them

You may stop using ZilScore at any time. You may delete your account through Menu → Settings → Account → Delete Account or by emailing support@zilscore.com.

Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if:

• You violate these Terms or any applicable law
• You engage in fraudulent, abusive, or harmful behavior
• Required by law or regulatory authority
• We discontinue the Services
• For any other reason at our sole discretion

Effects of Termination

Upon termination, your right to access the Services ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including content licenses you granted, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will continue to apply.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ZilScore disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to:

• Implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement
• Warranties that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of viruses
• Warranties regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content, including football data, news, or statistics
• Warranties that defects will be corrected or that the Services will meet your requirements

See our Disclaimer for more details.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ZILSCORE AND ITS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Services.

Our total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising from or related to the Services is limited to the lesser of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

ZilScore is free to use; if you have not purchased a subscription, this limitation may result in liability of zero. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ZilScore and its owners, employees, agents, and licensors from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• Your use or misuse of the Services
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any rights of another party, including intellectual property rights
• Your User Content
• Your violation of any applicable law or regulation

16. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal proceedings, you agree to first attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at support@zilscore.com. We will respond within thirty (30) days and work in good faith to resolve the issue.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration conducted in the Republic of Seychelles, in accordance with Seychelles arbitration law, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

You agree to resolve disputes on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

17. Governing Law

These Terms and any disputes arising from them are governed by the laws of the Republic of Seychelles, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

You agree that any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the Republic of Seychelles, and you submit to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will:

• Update the "Last updated" date at the top of these Terms
• Notify you through the app (in-app banner or notification)
• Send an email if you have provided one (for significant changes)

Your continued use of ZilScore after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, you must stop using the Services and may delete your account.
