5.         THIRD PARTY AND PROPRIETARY DATA

5.1       We use a third party data provider, currently Stats Perform, via their Opta data feed (“Opta”). This third party provides live match data from the Fixtures featured in our Games.

5.2       This data and all other information displayed on the App is made available to you for your general information and entertainment, and are for non-commercial use only.

5.3       You acknowledge that the provision of such data (and therefore the making available of the App) is always subject to any arrangements, restrictions or prohibitions imposed by any sports body (including any league, association or authority), any team, official or other participant in any match or event, or of any rights holder, agency or other person involved in the control, management or exploitation of any rights to or in respect of any match or event. Any decision, order, act or omission made by such person is outside of our control and therefore, to the extent it affects our ability to make the whole or any part of the App, or any Games available to you for your use in accordance with the Fanslide Terms, you acknowledge that we shall not be liable to you for any such failure or delay.

10.     VOID GAMES AND PRIZE COMPETITIONS

10.1    We may declare a Game void in the following circumstances:

• in the event that a scheduled Fixture is postponed and does not kick off before 23:59 local time on the day it was originally scheduled;
• in the event that a Fixture kicks off, but less than 60 minutes are played (excluding any stoppage time added at the end of the first period of the match – i.e. the game clock does not reach 60:00 in the second period), for whatever reason (for example the Fixture is abandoned); or
• in the event that we have to abandon a Game of Fanslide as a result of technical issues beyond our reasonable control, where less than 60 minutes are played (excluding any stoppage time added at the end of the first period of the match – i.e. the game clock does not reach 60:00 in the second period). In providing Games we rely upon a number of third parties, including Opta, our data provider and Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) who provide the cloud based systems that our Games operate on. Consequently, the provision of our Games is subject to factors and circumstances outside of our control and there may be times when we are unable to provide the Games as advertised, or be forced to abandon Games that have already begun. For example, we may have to abandon a Game:
  1. in the event of a significant service interruption affecting either the incoming live data feed from Opta or AWS cloud services;
  2. if we reasonably believe the integrity or accuracy of the live Opta data has been compromised, or if we suspect a security breach or attempted security breach may impact or may have impacted, the integrity and fairness of the Game; and/or
  3. in the event of any other failure or significant issue in relation to a third party that is necessary for the provision of the Game.
• Please note that any Game that is abandoned, for any reason, in which the game clock has reached 60:00 in the second period of the match, will not be declared void, save for the case outlined in 10.1.5.
• In the event that a technical disruption under 1.3 forces us to abandon a Game and the technical issues are to such an extent that we are unable to fairly settle the Game, then the Game will be declared void regardless of how much time has elapsed.

10.2    In the event that a Game of Fanslide is declared void:

• no Points or achievements from the Game (for example, Highest Score, Games Played or PFGs Scored) will be recorded on your Account;
• all Prize Competitions operating on the void Game will be declared void; and
• no Points or achievements from the Game (for example, Highest Score, Games Played or PFGs Scored) will count towards any Prize Competitions.

10.3    We shall have no liability to you, and no compensation shall be made to you in respect of any void Games.

10.4    We shall have no liability to you if a Fixture is abandoned or cancelled for any reason.

11.     USER GENERATED CONTENT AND CHAT

11.1    We offer you the opportunity to upload, post and otherwise transmit certain content via the App, including to make contact with other users of the App via the ‘Chat’ functionality during Games, creating names for your groups and/or uploading icons and images to your groups (“Content”).

11.2    You warrant that your Content will not contravene the Prohibited Uses section below, and you acknowledge and agree that, if your Content does contravene the Prohibited Uses section, you will be liable to us for any loss or damage we suffer as a result.

11.3    We have the right to remove any Content from the App if, in our opinion, such Content does not comply with these Terms of Use or removal is otherwise desirable for business or operational reasons.

11.4    We also reserve the right, acting reasonably, to disclose your identity to any third party who is claiming that your Content infringes their intellectual property rights or their right to privacy.

11.5    We reserve the right to monitor and review Content, but do not have the obligation to do so. You acknowledge that, unless expressly stated otherwise, Content has not been verified or approved by us.

11.6    Views expressed by other users on the App do not represent our views or values. We will not be responsible, or liable to any third party, for the content or accuracy of any Content posted by you or any other user of the App.

11.7    Any Content you upload to the App will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary. You retain all of your ownership rights in your Content, but you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free licence (with the right to sub-licence) to use, store, copy, adapt, make available to the public, translate, distribute and otherwise exploit such Content (in whole or in part) for the purpose of operating, improving and promoting the App.

11.8    The chat function in Fanslide is not monitored by us but relies upon self-regulation by all users via the chat reporting function.

11.9    In the unfortunate event that you see an offensive chat message in Fanslide, please take the time to report it. You can report a message by pressing and holding or double tapping on the message in question and choosing the “Report Message” option.

11.10 Any message reported by three or more users will be removed (however any user deemed to have abused the reporting function to frivolously report messages that do not breach these Terms of Use may have the ability to report messages removed).

11.11 We reserve the right to close the Account of any user who posts comments deemed discriminatory, offensive or inappropriate.

11.12 We reserve the right to withdraw the chat function altogether, or remove your individual ability to post chat messages without giving a reason.

12.     ACCOUNT CLOSURE, ACCOUNT SUSPENSION AND DORMANT ACCOUNTS

12.1    Account closure by you

• You are entitled to close your Account and terminate the legal agreement between you and us under the Fanslide Terms. You can contact us at any time:
  1. confirming your wish to close your Account; and
  2. (if you wish) stating the reasons for Account closure.
• We will endeavour to respond to your notification within a reasonable timeframe confirming the date upon which your Account closure will take effect, provided that you continue to assume responsibility for all activity on your Account until such time as closure takes effect, at which point the agreement under the Fanslide Terms shall terminate.

• These Terms of Use give us the right to terminate/close your Account in certain circumstances (see, for example, clauses, 5 and 17.1).
• Any balance in your Account at the time of any closure (by you or us) will not be paid back to you.
•  

12.4    Suspension by us

• We retain the right, at our sole discretion, to suspend your Account pursuant to the provisions set out in these Terms of Use. Following Account suspension you will be prohibited from using our Services, including making withdrawals, until the date upon which your Account is re-activated by us.
• We shall as soon reasonably practicable address all matters that have given rise to Account suspension in order to resolve any issues so that your Account may, in our absolute discretion, be re-activated or terminated by us.
• If we have reasonable grounds to suspect that you have engaged in any Prohibited Use, we may suspend your Account without notification, and your Account will remain suspended while the matter is investigated. You agree to cooperate fully with any such investigation. Your funds cannot be accessed or withdrawn during periods of suspension, and any balance will remain in the Account.
• If our investigation results in our decision (acting reasonably) that the issue has been resolved to our satisfaction, we may lift the Account suspension. If our investigation results in our decision (acting reasonably) that you have engaged in any Prohibited Use, we may restrict or permanently close your Account. In these circumstances, your details may be passed on to any applicable regulatory authority or any other relevant external third parties.
• We may also from time to time be required by a competent authority to restrict, suspend or close Accounts for legal or regulatory reasons. Such restrictions, if applicable, may affect your use of your Account.

12.5    Dormant Accounts

• We will deem an Account to be “dormant” after a period of 12 (twelve) months in which you do not play at least one Game of Fanslide.
• You may reactivate a dormant account at any time by logging into that Account and playing a Game of Fanslide.
• Should your Account become dormant, we will continue to contact you (where you have “opted-in”) with promotional messages until such time as you instruct us to stop. However, we will also contact all Account holders periodically to advise of any Account balance.
• Please note, your Account will be deleted following the time period of 7 (seven) years of consecutive inactivity. Upon deletion of your Account, we will no longer retain your personal details and as such we are unable to continue to offer an Account balance refund.

15.     NO PROMISES

15.1    We provide the App on an ‘as is’ and ‘as available’ basis, without any promises or representations, express or implied.

16.4    Subject to clause 16.2, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any damages, losses, expenses or claims which may be caused by any:

• errors (being mistakes that arise from human mistakes or administrative, operational or systems failures. Errors can occur, for example, if incorrect data is submitted in relation to a Fixture by our third party data provider);
• a failure of any of our third party providers (for example our third party data provider or provider of cloud based systems); or

16.5    If we breach the Fanslide Terms, we shall only be liable to you for losses which are a reasonably foreseeable consequence of such a breach (which means that the losses could have been contemplated by you or us at the time of entering these Fanslide Terms). In no case shall we be liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages (this means damages which are a side effect of the main damage and were not reasonably foreseeable at the time you entered into the Fanslide Terms).

19.2    If any provision (or part of a provision) of the Fanslide Terms is found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

19.3    We are entitled to assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal in our rights under the Fanslide Terms as we see fit but we will only do so where this will not prejudice your rights under the Fanslide Terms, or alternatively with your consent. We may wish to transfer our rights or obligations under the Fanslide Terms to another company within our corporate group or any other legal entity, including if we restructure or there is a sale of our business. You agree that we may do so provided that in the case of such a transfer, after we notify you of the date on which such transfer takes place, your rights under the Terms will be against the new legal entity.

19.4    The Fanslide Terms are personal to you and you may not transfer your rights or obligations under the Fanslide Terms to anyone else.

19.5    These Fanslide Terms form an agreement between you and us and are not intended to give any rights to any third party. This does not affect our right to transfer our rights under clause 19.3.
