SCORE BUDDY TERMS OF USE

Original Effective Date: April 18, 2026
Effective Date of This Version: August 20, 2026
Last Updated: August 20, 2026
Application: Score Buddy (also stylized as "ScoreBuddy") (the "Service", "App")
Developer: 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

By downloading, installing, accessing, purchasing through, or using Score Buddy, you ("User", "you") agree to these Terms of Use to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms, together with the Score Buddy Privacy Policy and any transaction-specific terms shown by Apple or Google, govern your relationship with the Company concerning the Service.

Score Buddy is not available for distribution in Türkiye through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Türkiye is disabled as a mobile-app distribution territory.

1. Eligibility and Lawful Use

By using the Service, you represent that:

You have the legal capacity required to use the Service and enter into any transaction you initiate through the applicable app store;
Your use of the Service is not prohibited by sanctions, export-control rules, or other legal restrictions applicable to you; and
You will use the Service only for lawful purposes and in compliance with these Terms.

2. Nature of the Service

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

3. Subscriptions, Billing, Cancellation, and Refunds

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 full payment-card or banking information. Your transaction is also subject to the relevant platform operator's payment terms, billing policies, and refund procedures.
Price and Billing Period. The localized price, currency, subscription period, trial or introductory offer (if any), and other transaction-specific terms shown by Apple or Google at the time of purchase are the controlling commercial terms for that transaction. Prices may vary by country, currency, tax treatment, and store pricing tier.
Auto-Renewal. Auto-renewing subscriptions renew for successive periods shown by the relevant store unless cancelled before the applicable renewal cutoff under that store's rules. You authorize Apple or Google, as applicable, to charge your payment method for renewals in accordance with the store terms presented to you.
Cancellation. You may manage or cancel an auto-renewing subscription through your Apple or Google subscription-management controls. Cancellation generally stops a future renewal rather than retroactively cancelling a subscription period already purchased, subject to the relevant platform rules and mandatory law.
Restoration. Where supported by the platform, the App provides functionality to restore eligible purchases or subscription entitlement.
Price Changes. The Company may change the price of Paid Services. Price changes applicable to an existing subscription are handled through the relevant platform and take effect only as permitted by the platform's rules and applicable consumer law, including any notice or consent required by Apple, Google, or applicable law.
Refunds and Mandatory Consumer Rights. Refund eligibility and processing for app-store purchases are governed by the applicable Apple or Google refund process and any mandatory consumer-protection rights in your jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits a refund, withdrawal right, statutory warranty, or other remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Where applicable law permits a withdrawal right to be lost after a consumer expressly requests immediate supply of digital content or services and makes any acknowledgement required by that law, the effect of that request and acknowledgement is governed by the applicable law and platform flow.
Platform Refunds. Refund requests for transactions processed through Apple or Google should be submitted through the applicable platform process. Where Apple or Google issues a refund for a transaction, the Company has no obligation to duplicate the same refund.

If transaction-specific information shown by Apple or Google conflicts with a generic price, period, or renewal description elsewhere in the Service, the information presented by the applicable store for the transaction controls, except where mandatory law provides otherwise.

4. No Betting or Gambling Service

Score Buddy is not a bookmaker, gambling operator, wagering platform, lottery, or betting intermediary. The Service does not accept, place, broker, settle, or pay wagers, hold betting balances, or pay gambling winnings.

You may not use the Service, its statistics, predictions, analyses, or other outputs to place, inform, facilitate, broker, promote, or execute real-money or value-equivalent sports bets, wagers, or gambling activity. This is a contractual restriction on use of the Service regardless of whether such activity is otherwise lawful in your jurisdiction.

Sports outcomes are inherently uncertain. Any decision or action you take based on statistics, predictions, or analyses from the Service is at your own risk.

5. Machine Learning and "As-Is" Disclaimer

The statistical models and ML algorithms used by Score Buddy are probabilistic and non-deterministic.

No Guarantee of Accuracy. The Company makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, currency, or fitness of any output of the Service.
Disclaimer of 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 Company, its affiliates, licensors, contractors, agents, officers, and representatives (collectively, the "Protected Parties") disclaim warranties to the extent permitted by law, including 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 Reliance

The Service relies on independent third-party sports-data services, public repositories, free and open-source software, app-store platforms, infrastructure providers, and other upstream sources (collectively, "Upstream Sources") that the Company does not control.

No Uptime Guarantee. The Company does not 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. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for degradation, delay, inaccuracy, suspension, limitation, or termination of the Service arising from the failure, change, outage, rate-limiting, access revocation, price change, licensing change, reorganization, shutdown, or other act or omission of an Upstream Source or third-party platform, including Apple and Google.
Right to Modify, Suspend, or Discontinue. The Company may modify, suspend, limit, or discontinue the Service or a feature where reasonably necessary for legitimate business, technical, operational, security, legal, platform, or third-party dependency reasons. Where practicable and required by applicable law, the Company will provide reasonable advance notice of a material permanent discontinuation. Where you have prepaid for Paid Services and the Company permanently discontinues the affected Paid Service, any refund, continued-access period, or other remedy will be handled in accordance with Section 3, the applicable app-store rules, and mandatory consumer law.
Scheduled and Unscheduled Downtime. The Service may be unavailable during maintenance, updates, or in response to security incidents. Such downtime does not by itself constitute a breach of these Terms.

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 these Terms;
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 betting, gambling, or wagering activity as 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 predictive outputs, statistics, datasets, or model responses of the Service, or (iii) reconstruct, replicate, train, fine-tune, or distill a competing model, dataset, or service from the Service's outputs. A violation of this provision is a material breach of these Terms. The Company may suspend or terminate access and block the offending device, account, IP address, or other identifier where reasonably necessary to protect the Service. 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 a person or entity acting for commercial, competitive, scraping, aggregation, model-training, distillation, or resale purposes, the Company additionally reserves the right to retain prepaid fees as liquidated damages where permitted by law, which the parties agree represent a reasonable pre-estimate of damages given the difficulty of quantifying output-theft harm. Any mandatory authority of a competent court to reduce or refuse enforcement of a penal or liquidated-damages clause remains unaffected.

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.

For any liability not otherwise excluded by this Section and to the extent that liability may lawfully be limited, recovery is limited to direct, actual damages. The aggregate cumulative liability of the Protected Parties to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by you for the Service through Apple or Google during the twelve (12) months preceding the event first giving rise to the claim. Multiple claims, causes of action, or legal theories do not increase this cap.

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 these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, willful misconduct, gross negligence where it cannot be limited, or death or personal injury where applicable law prohibits limitation. This Section shall be interpreted to provide the Protected Parties with the maximum protection permitted by 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 third-party claims, actions, demands, damages, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, arising from or relating to:

Your unlawful use of the Service;
Your material breach of these Terms; or
Your violation of a third party's rights.

This Section applies only to the extent permitted by mandatory law applicable to the User.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.

Subject to mandatory rights that cannot be waived by contract, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought in the competent courts and enforcement offices of Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Nothing in this Section overrides any non-waivable consumer right to rely on mandatory local protections or to bring proceedings in another forum where applicable law requires it.

11. Apple App Store

If you obtain Score Buddy through the Apple App Store, the licence to install and use the iOS App is governed by Apple's applicable Standard End User License Agreement (Standard EULA) unless a different end-user licence is expressly presented with the App through Apple.

These Score Buddy Terms separately govern your use of the Score Buddy service, including Paid Services, content, acceptable-use restrictions, subscriptions, and your relationship with the Company. Apple is not a party to these Score Buddy Terms. If there is a conflict concerning the licence to the iOS App itself, Apple's applicable EULA controls that licence; otherwise these Terms continue to apply to the Service as described above.

12. Google Play Store Provisions

If you accessed or downloaded the App from Google Play, your use of the App is also subject to the applicable Google Play terms. The Company is responsible for the Score Buddy App and its content as between the Company and Google. Google's independent data practices are governed by Google's own privacy documentation. Score Buddy's processing is described in the Score Buddy Privacy Policy.

13. Intellectual Property

Subject to third-party rights and factual information as described in Section 14, rights in the Service's software, proprietary models, algorithms, original analytical outputs and presentation, trademarks, branding, and associated intellectual property remain with the Company and its licensors to the extent provided by applicable law.

For the iOS App, the software licence is governed as described in Section 11. On other platforms, subject to the applicable app-store terms, the Company grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App on a device you own or control for your personal use. No other rights are granted to you under these Terms.

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

The Service provides factual sports information and probabilistic analytical outputs relating to football competitions.

No Official Affiliation or Endorsement. Unless a particular relationship is expressly stated, Score Buddy is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with any football federation, league, competition, club, team, player, broadcaster, or sports-data provider. References to third-party names identify the subject matter of statistics, fixtures, and analyses and do not imply sponsorship or endorsement.
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 live broadcast content. Match results and other match facts incorporated into the Service are used after the relevant information has become publicly available through completed events, public reporting, and/or third-party sports-data services.
Fixtures and Schedules. The Service may display upcoming fixtures and schedules obtained from third-party sports-data services and/or publicly reported factual information. Score Buddy does not claim ownership of third-party facts or any protected third-party database, feed, compilation, or presentation.
Names and Factual Information. Club, league, competition, player, team, fixture, score, result, and other factual references are used to identify the subject matter of the Service. Third-party names, marks, databases, broadcasts, photographs, graphics, commentary, and other protected materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners.
No Display of Official Club Artwork. Score Buddy does not display or reproduce club crests, badges, logos, official kits, player photographs, videos, or other official club artwork as part of its product interface. Visual team representations used by Score Buddy are generic graphics and may use independently derived team colour palettes.
Player and Match Statistics. Player and match statistics may be derived from third-party sports-data services and/or publicly reported factual match information and are used for informational, educational, statistical, and entertainment purposes.
Score Buddy Outputs. Subject to third-party rights in underlying factual information and inputs, the Company retains its rights in the Service's proprietary models, original analytical presentation, probabilistic predictions, and derivative analytical outputs to the extent provided by applicable law.

Intellectual Property Notices

If you believe specific content in the Service infringes a right you own or are authorized to enforce, send a notice to [email protected] with enough information for us to evaluate the claim, including:

your name and contact information;
the right you claim and, where relevant, your authority to act for the rights holder;
enough detail to identify and locate the material at issue; and
the factual and legal basis of your request.

The Company may request additional information, investigate the claim, and remove, disable, modify, or retain the material as appropriate in light of the information available, applicable law, contractual rights, and the Company's defenses. Nothing in this procedure waives any defense, limitation, exception, factual-information argument, or other right available to the Company or any affected party.

15. Termination

These Terms are effective until terminated. The Company may suspend or terminate access to all or part of the Service where reasonably necessary for one or more of the following grounds:

a material or repeated breach of these Terms;
fraud, abuse, automated scraping, circumvention of technical controls, or conduct that threatens the security, integrity, availability, or lawful operation of the Service;
compliance with applicable law, a binding order or request from a competent authority, or an applicable Apple, Google, or other platform requirement;
a material third-party dependency, provider, data-source, or infrastructure change that makes continued provision of the affected Service impracticable or unlawful; or
discontinuation of the Service or the affected feature on legitimate business, technical, security, or operational grounds.

Except where immediate action is reasonably necessary because of serious security, fraud, abuse, legal, regulatory, or platform grounds, the Company will provide reasonable advance notice where practicable and required by applicable law. If the Company permanently discontinues a prepaid Paid Service, any refund, continued-access period, or other remedy will be handled in accordance with Sections 3 and 6, the applicable app-store rules, and mandatory consumer law.

Upon termination, your right to use the terminated part of the Service will cease. Provisions concerning payment, intellectual property, restrictions on misuse, liability, disputes, legal claims, security, and any other provision that by its nature is intended to survive will continue to apply to the extent appropriate.

16. Amendments to the Terms

The Company may update these Terms to reflect changes in the Service, Paid Services, technical architecture, providers, sports-data sources, security requirements, platform requirements, pricing or commercial arrangements, applicable law, business operations, or other legitimate reasons.

Material Changes will be announced through an in-App notification and/or on scorebuddy.pro at least thirty (30) days before they take effect. If an urgent legal, regulatory, security, fraud-prevention, or platform requirement makes that advance-notice period impracticable, a shorter period may be used to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree to a material change, you may stop using the Service before it takes effect and may manage or cancel any store-managed subscription through the applicable store controls. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Non-Material Changes, such as typographical corrections, clarifications, or updates to contact details, take effect upon the revised effective date being posted.

No amendment will retroactively remove a mandatory right or remedy that had already accrued before the amendment took effect. The most recent version posted on scorebuddy.pro governs prospectively from its stated effective date, subject to mandatory law.

Transition. These Terms apply immediately to users who first use the Service on or after August 20, 2026. For users who used the Service before that date, the previous Terms remain in effect until September 20, 2026, after which these Terms apply.

17. Force Majeure

No Protected Party shall be liable for failure or delay in performance caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, epidemics, pandemics, internet or telecommunications failures, failures of third-party platforms including Apple and Google, or failures of Upstream Sources, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held 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. The remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.

19. No Waiver

No failure or delay by the Company in exercising a right under these Terms operates 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 these Terms or rights hereunder without the Company's prior written consent except where applicable law provides otherwise. The Company may assign these Terms in connection with a lawful transfer of the Service or business, subject to mandatory law.

21. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Score Buddy Privacy Policy, transaction-specific app-store terms, and any terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between you and the Company concerning the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, or communications concerning the same subject matter, subject to applicable mandatory law.

22. Language

These Terms are drafted in English. A Turkish translation is available for convenience. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the English and Turkish versions, the English version prevails, except where applicable mandatory law requires a local-language text to prevail.
