SCOREBUDDY PRIVACY POLICY & TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: April 18, 2026
Application: Scorebuddy (the "Service", "App")
Developer / Data Controller: Fikret Anıl Haksever, a sole proprietorship under the trade brand Forge Zero ("Company", "we", "us", or "our").
Registered Address: Sahil Mah. Kaptan D. 4/5, Beylikdüzü, İstanbul Türkiye.
Contact: [email protected] | forgezero.com

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Scorebuddy in any manner, you ("User", "you") expressly agree to be legally bound by this entire Legal Agreement, including all limitations, disclaimers, and waivers contained herein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree to any provision of this Agreement, you must immediately cease all use of the Service and uninstall the App.

This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, or understandings.

PART I: PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how the Company handles information in connection with the Service. It is designed to align with the principles of, and — where applicable to the Company and the Service — to comply with the mandatory obligations of, the following data protection frameworks: the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu – "KVKK"), the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 ("GDPR"), the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), Brazil's LGPD, Canada's PIPEDA, and any other applicable data protection regulations.

For the purposes of KVKK and GDPR, the Data Controller ("Veri Sorumlusu") is:

Name: Fikret Anıl Haksever (trading as Forge Zero)
Address: Sahil Mah. Kaptan D. 4/5, Beylikdüzü, İstanbul Türkiye
Contact for all data protection inquiries: [email protected]

2. Zero Data Collection Architecture

At the time of this Effective Date, Scorebuddy is engineered and operated as a zero-data application. Specifically:

No User Accounts: The Service does not offer, require, or permit account registration. No usernames, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, social profiles, or any other identifiers are created, requested, or stored by us.
No Personally Identifiable Information ("PII") on Our Servers: Our backend infrastructure does not intentionally collect, log, retain, or correlate any PII of any User. Our databases contain no names, emails, phone numbers, device identifiers, geolocation, payment information, or behavioral profiles tied to any User. Any transient network-level data incidentally visible to our servers during ordinary request handling (such as IP addresses present in TCP/IP headers) is not logged, retained, or used to identify or profile Users.
No Telemetry or Analytics by Us: We do not operate first-party telemetry, analytics, advertising SDKs, crash-reporting services, or tracking pixels that identify Users.
Local-Only Preferences: Any settings, favourites, or preferences you configure are stored exclusively on your device and are never transmitted to us or any third party by the App.
Hosting-Provider Network Logs: The Company operates the Service through third-party hosting and content-delivery infrastructure. Those providers may, acting as independent data controllers for that purpose, process transient connection-level data (including IP addresses) as strictly necessary network-security and availability logs, on the legitimate-interest basis of GDPR Article 6(1)(f) and the corresponding basis under KVKK Article 5(2)(f). Such logs are maintained by the relevant provider, are not accessed by the Company for the purpose of identifying or profiling Users, and are governed by that provider's own data protection terms.

3. Platform-Level Data (Apple App Store & Google Play Store)

Scorebuddy is distributed through third-party platforms — Apple Inc. (App Store / iOS) and Google LLC (Google Play / Android). These platforms independently collect certain data when you download, install, or use any mobile application, including ours, such as device identifiers, crash diagnostics, installation events, purchase history, and network information.

We do not control, receive, or have access to such platform-level data. Any collection, processing, storage, or use of data by Apple or Google is governed solely and exclusively by their respective privacy policies and terms:

Apple Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

The Company disclaims all responsibility and liability for any platform-level data practices of Apple, Google, or any other distribution platform. Any inquiries, requests, or complaints regarding such data must be directed to the relevant platform operator.

4. Future Changes to Data Practices

The Company reserves the right to modify the data practices of the Service in future versions (for example, by introducing optional user accounts or additional features). Any such change will (i) be accompanied by an updated version of this Privacy Policy, (ii) be announced through an in-App notification providing at least thirty (30) days advance notice prior to taking effect for material changes, and (iii) be conditioned on your continued, affirmative use of the updated Service. Until such a change takes effect, the zero-data architecture described in Section 2 applies.

The rights granted to you under the data protection laws listed above remain available to you at all times. Because we do not hold personal data about you, any request to exercise such rights will typically result in our confirming that we hold no personal data concerning you. You are not required to show cause or provide additional information to submit such a request.

The rights generally available include:

Under KVKK Article 11: to learn whether your data is processed; to request information, rectification, erasure, restriction, or objection; and to lodge a complaint with the Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (https://www.kvkk.gov.tr/).
Under GDPR and UK GDPR: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdrawal of consent, and complaint to a competent supervisory authority.
Under CCPA / CPRA: the right to know, delete, correct, opt-out of sale or sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and non-discrimination. We do not "sell" or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under CCPA/CPRA. The Company is a small sole-proprietorship that does not meet the revenue, data-volume, or data-sharing thresholds that trigger business obligations under CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code §1798.140(d)).
Under LGPD, PIPEDA, PDPA, and other applicable regimes: the equivalent rights granted by those frameworks.

To exercise any of these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within the statutory timeframe applicable to your jurisdiction.

6. VERBIS Registration

The Company's obligation to register with Turkey's Data Controllers' Registry (VERBIS) under KVKK depends on the statutory thresholds set by the Personal Data Protection Board (including Board Decisions No. 2018/32 and No. 2019/265), which are based on annual turnover, balance-sheet size, and number of employees. To the extent those thresholds are not met or the Company's processing activities fall within exempted categories, VERBIS registration is not required. Any incidental processing arising from data-protection requests submitted to [email protected] is limited to what is strictly necessary to respond to those requests.

7. Data Retention

As no personal data is collected, no retention periods apply to User data held by the Company.

8. International Data Transfers

As no personal data is collected, no international data transfers occur.

Because no personal data is collected, no additional technical or organizational measures specific to personal-data protection are required. The Company nevertheless maintains reasonable industry-standard security practices to protect the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the Service itself.

10. Age Requirement

The Service is not directed at, and must not be used by, any person below the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction (generally 18 years of age, but as defined by the law applicable to you). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you confirm that you meet this requirement. We do not knowingly permit use by, or collect personal data from, any person below the applicable age. If a parent or legal guardian believes a person below the applicable age has accessed the Service, they may contact [email protected], and we will take reasonable steps to terminate that access.

PART II: TERMS OF SERVICE & LIABILITY DISCLAIMERS

This Part II governs your use of the App and establishes the broadest liability protection permissible under applicable law for the Company, Fikret Anıl Haksever, Forge Zero, and all of their affiliates, licensors, contractors, agents, officers, and representatives (collectively, the "Protected Parties").

1. Eligibility and User Representations

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that:

You have reached the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction and have full legal capacity to enter into a binding contract;
You are not located in, under the control of, or a national of any country embargoed by the Republic of Türkiye, the United States, the United Kingdom, or the European Union, and you are not on any government restricted-parties list;
You will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws.

2. Nature of the Service

Scorebuddy provides historical football statistics and outputs generated by algorithmic and probabilistic Machine Learning ("ML") models. The Service is provided strictly for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. The Service is not professional advice of any kind — financial, legal, investment, or otherwise — and must not be relied upon as such.

3. Subscriptions, Billing, and No-Refund Policy

Certain premium features of the Service may be offered on an auto-renewing subscription or one-time in-app purchase basis (collectively, "Paid Services"). The following terms govern all Paid Services:

Platform Billing. All transactions for Paid Services are processed exclusively by the app store platform through which you obtained the App — Apple App Store (via Apple Media Services) or Google Play Store (via Google Play Billing). The Company does not collect, process, store, or have access to your payment-card or banking information. Your billing relationship is exclusively with the relevant platform operator and is subject to that operator's payment terms, billing policies, and refund procedures.
Auto-Renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew for successive periods of equal length at the then-current rate unless cancelled before the renewal date. You authorize Apple or Google, as applicable, to charge your payment method on each renewal.
Cancellation. You may cancel any auto-renewing subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings (for iOS users) or Google Play account settings (for Android users). Cancellations must be completed at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current billing cycle to avoid being charged for the next period. The Company cannot cancel your subscription on your behalf.
Price Changes. The Company may change the price of Paid Services at any time. Price changes applicable to your subscription will be communicated through the relevant platform and will take effect only for subsequent billing cycles, subject to any required notice and consent under applicable platform rules and consumer law.
No-Refund Policy. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all payments for Paid Services are non-refundable. The Company will not provide refunds, credits, or prorated adjustments for: (i) partial subscription periods, (ii) unused features, (iii) dissatisfaction with any analytical output, (iv) the probabilistic failure, inaccuracy, or non-occurrence of any ML prediction (which is not a defect and is expressly disclaimed in Section 5), (v) Upstream Source failures (as defined in Section 6), (vi) your failure to cancel before a renewal, or (vii) any reason other than those required by mandatory consumer law.
Mandatory Consumer Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where applicable mandatory consumer-protection law grants you a non-excludable right to a refund or withdrawal — including without limitation the fourteen (14)-day right of withdrawal under the Turkish Distance Contracts Regulation (Mesafeli Sözleşmeler Yönetmeliği) pursuant to Consumer Protection Law No. 6502, and Articles 9–16 of EU Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU — such rights shall apply to you to the extent required by law. You acknowledge, however, that where you have expressly consented to the immediate supply of digital content before expiry of the withdrawal period and expressly acknowledged losing your right of withdrawal (as permitted by those same laws and by Apple/Google platform terms), you thereby waive the withdrawal right with respect to that digital content to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Platform Refunds. Refund requests may in all cases be directed to Apple (https://support.apple.com/HT204084) or Google (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479637) in accordance with their respective refund policies, which operate independently of this Agreement. Where Apple or Google issues a refund to you, the Company has no obligation to duplicate such refund.

4. Strict Prohibition on Betting, Wagering, and Gambling

Scorebuddy is not, and must not be used as, a sports-betting, gambling, lottery, wagering, chance-of-win, or financial-advisory tool.

Compliance with Turkish Law: The Republic of Türkiye strictly regulates and/or prohibits unauthorized sports betting, wagering, and games of chance under (without limitation) Law No. 7258 (Futbol ve Diğer Spor Müsabakalarında Bahis ve Şans Oyunları Düzenlenmesi Hakkında Kanun), the Turkish Criminal Code (Law No. 5237), and Law No. 5651 (on the regulation of internet publications). Only authorized operators licensed by the competent Turkish authorities (Spor Toto Teşkilat Başkanlığı and Türkiye Jokey Kulübü within their respective scopes) may offer sports betting in Türkiye. The Service is not such a licensed operator and does not offer, facilitate, broker, or promote betting.
Classification as Misuse: Any use of the statistics, outputs, insights, predictions, or any other content of the Service to place, inform, facilitate, broker, promote, or execute real-money or value-equivalent sports bets, wagers, or gambling of any kind is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, irrespective of the legal status of such activity in the User's jurisdiction.
Assumption of Risk: Sports outcomes are inherently unpredictable. You acknowledge and agree that you assume one hundred percent (100%) of all risk, cost, loss, and consequence for any decision or action you take on the basis of, or in connection with, the Service.
Compliance with Your Local Law: You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with all laws applicable to you, including without limitation any laws in your jurisdiction concerning sports statistics, prediction services, gambling, and data protection.

5. Machine Learning and "As-Is" Disclaimer

The statistical models and ML algorithms used by Scorebuddy are experimental, probabilistic, and non-deterministic.

No Guarantee of Accuracy: The Company makes zero representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, currency, or fitness of any output of the Service.
Disclaimer of All Warranties: To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service, all content, and all outputs are provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, with all faults and without warranty of any kind. The Protected Parties expressly disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or arising from course of dealing or usage of trade, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, title, non-infringement, and quiet enjoyment.
No Advice: Nothing in the Service constitutes professional, financial, legal, medical, or investment advice.

6. Service Availability and Upstream Data Reliance

The Service is built on top of continuous data feeds from independent third-party sports-data providers, public repositories, free and open-source software, and other upstream sources (collectively, "Upstream Sources") that the Company does not own or control. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

No Uptime Guarantee. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that the Service, any specific feature, or any analytical output will be available, uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free at any given time. The Service is provided on a reasonable-efforts basis only.
Upstream Volatility. The Company shall not be liable for any degradation, delay, inaccuracy, suspension, limitation, or termination of the Service — or any part thereof — arising from the failure, change, outage, rate-limiting, access-revocation, price change, licensing change, reorganization, acquisition, shutdown, or any other act or omission of any Upstream Source or third-party platform (including Apple and Google). Upstream Sources are independent third parties, and their actions are outside the Company's reasonable control.
Right to Modify, Suspend, or Discontinue. The Company reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue the Service (or any feature, analytical output, league, competition, region, or integration) with or without notice, temporarily or permanently, and without liability to you or any third party. Where you have prepaid for Paid Services and the Company permanently discontinues the entire Service, the Company will cooperate with Apple or Google, as applicable, to facilitate pro-rata refunds to the extent required by applicable mandatory consumer law or platform policy.
Scheduled and Unscheduled Downtime. The Service may be unavailable during maintenance, updates, or in response to security incidents. Such downtime shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

7. User Obligations

You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of this Agreement;
Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, tamper with, or attempt to derive the source code, models, weights, or underlying algorithms of the Service, except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
Scrape, harvest, or mass-extract data from the Service;
Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or any related systems;
Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service;
Use the Service in connection with any betting, gambling, or wagering activity as further described in Section 4;
Automated Access and Output Harvesting. Use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, automated script, headless browser, AI agent, unauthorized application, or other automated or manual means to (i) access or use the Service other than through the ordinary user interface provided by the Company, (ii) extract, copy, aggregate, re-publish, monetize, or resell any predictive outputs, statistics, datasets, or model responses of the Service, or (iii) reconstruct, replicate, train, fine-tune, or distill any competing model, dataset, or service from the Service's outputs. Any violation of this provision is a material breach of this Agreement. In addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity, the Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without further notice, to immediately suspend or terminate your access to the Service and to permanently block the offending device, account, IP address, or other identifier. Where the violating User is a natural-person consumer acting wholly outside the scope of any trade, business, craft, or commercial activity, the foregoing suspension and blocking shall be the Company's sole remedy under this bullet, and no prepaid fees shall be forfeited on the basis of this bullet. Where the violating User is not such a consumer — including without limitation any person or entity acting for commercial, competitive, scraping, aggregation, model-training, distillation, or resale purposes — the Company additionally reserves the right to retain any prepaid fees as liquidated damages, which the parties agree represent a reasonable pre-estimate of the damages suffered given the difficulty of quantifying output-theft harm. Where Turkish Code of Obligations Article 182 or any equivalent law empowers a competent court to reduce a penal or liquidated-damages clause deemed excessive, such reduction shall be the sole remedy, and the remainder of this Section shall remain in full force and effect.

8. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF THE PROTECTED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION:

Financial losses, lost profits, lost revenue, gambling losses, or debts incurred on any basis;
Loss of data, loss of use, loss of goodwill, or other intangible losses;
Any errors, mistakes, omissions, inaccuracies, or defects in content, outputs, or predictions;
Any unauthorized access to, or alteration of, your device or data;
Any third-party conduct or content on the Service.

The aggregate cumulative liability of the Protected Parties to you for all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you have paid directly to the Company for the Service in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) twenty-five Turkish Lira (₺25).

This limitation applies whether the alleged liability is based on contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, statute, or any other basis, and even if a Protected Party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit the liability of any Protected Party for: (i) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (ii) gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iii) death or personal injury caused by negligence; or (iv) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law (including Turkish Consumer Protection Law No. 6502 and the EU Unfair Contract Terms Directive 93/13/EEC). This Section shall be interpreted to provide the Protected Parties with the maximum protection permissible under applicable law.

9. Indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Protected Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, damages, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from or relating to:

Your use of, or access to, the Service;
Your breach of any term or representation of this Agreement, including without limitation the prohibition on betting and wagering in Section 4;
Your violation of any applicable law or any right of any third party.

This Section shall apply only to the extent permitted by mandatory consumer-protection law in your jurisdiction; where applicable mandatory consumer law limits indemnification by consumers, this Section shall apply only to the extent so permitted, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the competent courts and enforcement offices of Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, Türkiye, and the parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, where you are a consumer resident in Türkiye, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose mandatory consumer-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings in your local courts or the benefit of mandatory local protections, such rights shall continue to apply to you and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to deprive you of them. Turkish consumer disputes within applicable monetary thresholds may, where required by law, be brought before the competent Tüketici Hakem Heyeti or Tüketici Mahkemesi.

11. Apple App Store EULA Provisions

If you accessed or downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply, as required by Apple Inc. ("Apple"):

Acknowledgement. This Agreement is concluded between you and the Company only, and not with Apple. The Company (not Apple) is solely responsible for the App and its content.
Scope of License. The license granted to you for the App is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by Apple's Usage Rules set forth in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
Maintenance and Support. The Company is solely responsible for any maintenance and support services with respect to the App. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App.
Warranty. To the extent permitted by applicable mandatory consumer law — including the statutory rights of consumers in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom that cannot be excluded by agreement — the Company is solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. In the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the App; to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the App, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are the sole responsibility of the Company.
Product Claims. The Company, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App or your use of it, including (i) product-liability claims, (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, and (iii) claims arising under consumer-protection, privacy, or similar legislation.
Intellectual Property Rights. In the event of any third-party claim that the App or your possession or use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, the Company (not Apple) will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such infringement claim.
Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Third-Party Beneficiary. You and the Company acknowledge and agree that Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and that upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this Agreement against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof.

12. Google Play Store Provisions

If you accessed or downloaded the App from Google Play, you acknowledge that your use of the App is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and that Google LLC ("Google") and its affiliates are third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement and may enforce it against you. The Company is solely responsible for the App and its content; Google is not. Platform-level data practices of Google are governed by Google's own privacy policy as described in Part I, Section 3.

13. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all content, software, models, algorithms, trademarks, logos, and associated intellectual property, are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Company and its licensors. Except for the limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the App on a device you own or control for your personal, non-commercial use, no rights are granted to you under this Agreement.

14. Third-Party Sports Data, Marks, and Intellectual Property Claims

The Service provides factual sports information and probabilistic analytical outputs relating to football (soccer) competitions. The Company expressly acknowledges and affirms the following:

No Official Affiliation or Endorsement. The Company, Forge Zero, and Scorebuddy are not affiliated with, endorsed by, licensed by, sponsored by, authorized by, or otherwise associated with FIFA, UEFA, CONMEBOL, CAF, AFC, CONCACAF, OFC, the Türkiye Futbol Federasyonu (TFF), any national football federation, any league operator, any club, any team, any player, any coach, any agent, any broadcaster, any data provider, or any other third-party rights holder. Any reference to such entities is purely factual, nominative, and descriptive.
No Live Scores or Real-Time Data. The Service does not provide, transmit, display, or broadcast live scores, real-time match events, live commentary, live statistics, in-play data, or any live broadcast content of any kind. All match scores incorporated into the Service are used only after they have become a matter of general public knowledge through widely available public reporting, and never during the period in which they may constitute proprietary real-time data.
Fixtures and Schedules. The Service may display upcoming match fixtures and schedules, which the Company treats as factual information of public interest. The Company does not reproduce substantial portions of any protected database within the meaning of Article 7 of EU Directive 96/9/EC or any equivalent sui generis database right, Turkish Law No. 5846 on Intellectual and Artistic Works (Fikir ve Sanat Eserleri Kanunu), or any comparable foreign statute, and claims no ownership over such facts.
Team and League Names. Where the names of clubs, leagues, competitions, federations, or players appear in the Service, they are used solely in a nominative, descriptive, and factual capacity to identify the subject matter of statistics, fixtures, and analyses. Such use is not intended to suggest, and shall not be construed as suggesting, any sponsorship, endorsement, partnership, affiliation, or licensing relationship with the named entity.
No Logos, Badges, Kits, or Official Artwork. The Service does not reproduce, display, distribute, or otherwise use the crests, badges, logos, wordmarks, mascots, official kits, photographs, artwork, videos, or any other registered trademarks or protected creative works of any club, league, federation, broadcaster, or related organization.
Player Statistics and Likenesses. Any player statistics referenced in the Service are derived from publicly reported match data and are used strictly for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes. The Company does not reproduce player photographs, likenesses, image rights, name-image-likeness (NIL) rights, or personality rights, and asserts no endorsement by any player.
Output Ownership. Probabilistic predictions, analytical outputs, and derivative statistics produced by the Service are the original work product of the Company's proprietary models and do not constitute reproductions of any third-party protected content.

Intellectual Property Claim Procedure (Notice and Takedown). The Company respects the intellectual property rights of others and responds to properly substantiated claims. If you are a rights holder — including a league, club, federation, broadcaster, author, agent, or any other lawful claimant — and you believe that any content within the Service infringes your copyright, trademark, database right, neighbouring right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property right, please send a written notice to [email protected] containing all of the following:

Your full legal name, postal address, telephone number, and email address (and, if you are acting on behalf of a rights holder, the identity of that rights holder and evidence of your authority to act);
A clear identification of the specific right allegedly infringed, including registration numbers, jurisdiction, and copies of relevant title or registration documents where applicable;
A precise identification of the allegedly infringing material within the Service sufficient to enable the Company to locate it (including screenshots, timestamps, and version numbers where possible);
A statement, made in good faith, that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the rights holder, its agent, or applicable law;
A statement, under penalty of perjury (or its equivalent under your jurisdiction's law), that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder;
Your physical or electronic signature.

The Company will evaluate each good-faith, complete notice and, where appropriate, act expeditiously to remove, disable, or modify the affected content, consistent with applicable notice-and-takedown frameworks including the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), Turkish Law No. 5651 (on the regulation of publications on the internet), Turkish Law No. 5846, and the EU Copyright in the Digital Single Market Directive 2019/790. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to: (a) reject incomplete, defective, or bad-faith notices; (b) request clarification or additional evidence; (c) disclose the identity of claimants to affected parties where required by law or legal process; (d) submit counter-notices; and (e) seek damages and costs against persons who submit materially false or abusive claims. Nothing in this Section constitutes a waiver of any defense, including fair use, fair dealing, nominative fair use, factual-information exemptions, freedom of expression, or any statutory limitation or exception under applicable law.

Rights holders agree, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to use the foregoing procedure in good faith as the primary first-step channel for asserting intellectual property claims against the Company with respect to the Service, before initiating any formal legal proceeding. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as waiving, restricting, or otherwise limiting any rights holder's right of access to a court of competent jurisdiction.

15. Termination

This Agreement is effective until terminated. The Company may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice, including if you breach any provision of this Agreement. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease, and Sections 3 through 14 and 16 through 23 will survive.

16. Amendments to the Agreement

The Company reserves the right to modify, replace, or supplement this Agreement at any time.

Material Changes will be announced through an in-App notification and/or on forgezero.com at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. If you do not agree to the material changes, you must stop using the Service and uninstall the App before the changes take effect; your continued use after the effective date of the changes constitutes your acceptance.
Non-Material Changes (such as typographical corrections, clarifications, or updates to contact details) take effect immediately upon the revised "Effective Date" being posted. In either case, the most recent version posted on forgezero.com governs.

17. Force Majeure

No Protected Party shall be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, epidemics, pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, or failures of third-party platforms (including Apple and Google) or Upstream Sources.

18. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or if modification is not possible, severed from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

19. No Waiver

No failure or delay by the Company in exercising any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of that right. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company.

20. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may assign this Agreement at any time without notice to you. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is void.

21. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, together with any terms incorporated by reference herein, constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or communications, whether oral or written.

22. Language

This Agreement is drafted in English. A Turkish translation may be provided for convenience at forgezero.com. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the English and Turkish versions, the English version shall prevail, except where Turkish law mandates the primacy of the Turkish text for Turkish consumers, in which case the Turkish text shall prevail to that extent only.
