Terms of Service

1. Who we are and acceptance of these terms

Pub XI is operated by Anemova Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Pub XI app you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the app.

2. What Pub XI is

Pub XI is a social entertainment app for private friend-group leagues centred on football tournaments. It lets you create or join private leagues; view real-world tournament fixtures, results, and match markets; allocate virtual coins across those markets; earn or lose virtual coins based on outcomes; send yellow and red cards to other league members; and compete on a league standings table. Pub XI is a game. It is not a gambling product, a bookmaker, a financial service, or a betting exchange.

3. Eligibility and age requirement

You must be at least 17 years old to use Pub XI. By creating an account you confirm that you meet this requirement. If we discover that an account belongs to a user under 17 we will terminate the account and delete the associated data. You must also have the legal capacity to enter a binding contract under the law of your country of residence.

4. Your account

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. You must keep your login credentials confidential and must not share your account with anyone else. You must provide accurate and truthful information when you register and keep it up to date. You may delete your account at any time via Profile → Settings → Delete Account. On deletion, your personal data is permanently erased as described in our Privacy Policy.

5. Virtual coins — no monetary value, not a gambling product

All coins, points, and virtual balances in Pub XI (collectively "virtual currency") are an entertainment mechanic only. They are not money, they have no monetary or real-world value, they cannot be redeemed for cash, goods, prizes, or anything of value, and they cannot be transferred outside the app or between users outside of the normal gameplay mechanics. You do not acquire any property right in virtual currency. We may reset, adjust, or discontinue virtual currency at any time without compensation.

Placing a prediction in Pub XI is not a wager, bet, or financial transaction in any legal or regulatory sense. No real money changes hands at any point, and no cash or monetary prize is awarded under any circumstance. League standings reflect entertainment performance only and carry no monetary consequence.

Some in-app purchases allow you to acquire additional virtual coins. Those coins are an entertainment mechanic only and are subject to the same terms above: they have no monetary or real-world value, cannot be redeemed, exchanged, or converted into anything of value, and confer no advantage beyond continued participation in the game. Purchasing virtual coins is not gambling: there is no prize, no cash outcome, and no return of value of any kind. You are paying for an entertainment experience in the same way you might purchase credits in any other video game.

6. Yellow and red cards

The yellow and red card feature allows league members to vote to assign a card to another member. What a card represents — a task, challenge, action, or anything else — is left entirely to the discretion of the users within that private league. We do not define, suggest, endorse, or take responsibility for how cards are used or what is written on them.

Card content is created entirely by users. You must not write card content that involves the consumption of alcohol, controlled substances, or any substance that could cause harm; physical harm or unsafe behaviour; sexual or intimate acts; harassment, humiliation, or discrimination based on any characteristic; or anything otherwise unlawful. Card content that violates these rules will be removed and the responsible account may be suspended or terminated.

Any card assigned between members is acted upon (or not) entirely at the discretion of the individuals involved. Pub XI has no role in, and accepts no liability for, anything that occurs between users outside of the app as a result of card content.

7. Acceptable use

You may only use Pub XI for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes consistent with these Terms. You must not: attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract the source code of the app; use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or interfere with the app or its data feeds; manipulate league standings, prediction outcomes, or card votes by exploiting bugs or unintended mechanics; create multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage; impersonate another person or create a misleading display name; use the app to transmit spam, malware, or unsolicited commercial messages; or use the app in any way that violates applicable law.

8. User-generated content

You retain ownership of content you submit to Pub XI (display names, card content, league names). By submitting content you grant Anemova Ltd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, display, and process that content solely to the extent necessary to provide the service. This licence terminates when you delete the content or your account. You warrant that you own or have the right to use any content you submit and that it does not infringe any third party's rights. You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, abusive, hateful, defamatory, sexual, violent, or that targets any person based on a protected characteristic. We may remove content, and suspend or terminate accounts, that breach these terms.

9. Reporting content

To report content that violates these Terms, email report@anemova.com with the league name, a description of the content and a screenshot if possible. We aim to respond within one working week. League admins may also remove cards or members from leagues they own within the app.

10. In-app purchases and subscriptions

Some features of Pub XI may require an in-app purchase or subscription, processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. All purchases are governed by your agreement with Apple or Google respectively; we are not party to that transaction. Subscriptions auto-renew at the price displayed at the time of purchase unless you cancel before the renewal date via your App Store account settings. We do not issue refunds directly; refund requests must be made to Apple or Google in accordance with their refund policies. Some purchases include virtual coins as described in Section 5; those coins remain subject to Section 5 in all respects and do not constitute real-money gaming of any kind.

11. Intellectual property

The Pub XI name, logo, app design, and original written content are owned by Anemova Ltd and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent. Tournament fixture data, real-world team names, player names, and competition names are used descriptively to identify real sporting events. Pub XI is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by FIFA, UEFA, any national football association, or any tournament organiser. All third-party trademarks referenced in the app remain the property of their respective owners.

12. Third-party services and data

Pub XI uses third-party APIs to display match fixtures, results, and market odds. This data is provided for entertainment purposes within the app. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party data, and any discrepancy between our displayed data and an official result will be resolved in favour of the official result. Market outcomes in Pub XI are settled on the basis of official published results.

13. Availability and changes to the service

We provide the app on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at any particular time. We may update, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, including removing features or shutting down the app entirely. If we discontinue the service we will endeavour to give reasonable notice. We are not liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the service.

14. Termination

We may suspend or permanently terminate your account if you breach these Terms, use the app in a way that is unlawful or harmful to other users or to us, or if we are required to do so by law. On termination for breach we are not obliged to refund any in-app purchases. You may stop using the app and delete your account at any time. Clauses that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 5, 11, 15, 16, and 17) will do so.

15. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pub XI is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that prediction outcomes, coin balances, or league standings will be available immediately after a match, or that any data feed will be free from errors. Nothing in these Terms affects any statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded or limited by contract under English law.

16. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Anemova Ltd and its directors, employees, and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the app, including loss of profits, loss of data, or loss of goodwill. Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the service is limited to the greater of: (a) the total amount you paid us in the six months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim; or (b) £20. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under English law.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence gives you the right to bring proceedings in local courts.

Before commencing formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at contact@anemova.com so we can try to resolve the matter informally. We will respond within 14 days.

18. General

Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

No waiver: Failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Entire agreement: These Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of Pub XI and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.

Force majeure: We are not liable for failures or delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including internet outages, third-party service failures, or acts of God.

Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms. We may assign ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided your rights are not materially diminished.

19. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through an in-app notice at least 14 days before the change takes effect where reasonably practicable. The version date at the top of this page shows when the Terms were last revised. Continued use of the app after the effective date of a change constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept a material change, your remedy is to stop using the app and delete your account.
