Terms & Conditions

1. About these terms

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of scoreblox, which is provided by Kawntr Ltd, a company registered in New Zealand (“scoreblox”, “we”, “us”), including:

• the scoreblox cricket app (iOS, Android and macOS);
• the scoreblox cricket scorer app (iOS and Android);
• the scoreblox Console at console.scoreblox.com; and
• our website at scoreblox.com

Together these are the “Services”. By creating an account or using the Services you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Services on behalf of a club, league, association or other organisation, you confirm that you are authorised to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organisation.

2. Eligibility and accounts

• You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country) to create an account. If you are under 18, you must have permission from a parent or guardian.
• You sign in with Google, Apple or another method we offer. Keep your sign-in secure; you are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at hello@scoreblox.com if you think your account has been misused.
• Give accurate information and do not impersonate anyone else.
• You can delete your account at any time in the scoreblox cricket or scoreblox cricket scorer app (Profile / Settings → Delete account) or by emailing us.

3. Organisations, organisers and scorers

• Organisations (clubs, leagues and associations) use the Console and the Scorer app to manage competitions, teams, players, venues and matches. The organisation’s administrators control who can access it and with which role.
• Organisers and scorers are responsible for the accuracy of the matches, scores, results and player information they enter. Scores are provided by organisers and scorers, not verified by scoreblox.
• Before adding a player’s name, photo or other details, the organisation must have the right to do so — including consent from a parent or guardian for junior players.
• We may archive or remove organisations that are inactive, created in error, duplicated or in breach of these Terms.

4. Your content

“Your content” means anything you or your organisation add to the Services, such as competitions, scores, commentary, notes, logos and photos. You keep ownership of it. You grant scoreblox a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute and adapt your content as needed to operate, promote and improve the Services — for example to show live scores, scorecards and statistics publicly in our apps, on our website and in notifications. Match data is public by design; do not enter information you do not want published.

You confirm that you have the rights needed for your content and that it does not infringe anyone’s rights or break the law. We may remove content that we reasonably believe breaches these Terms.

5. Acceptable use

You must not:

• break the law or infringe anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• post content that is abusive, hateful, harassing, defamatory, obscene or misleading;
• enter false scores or results deliberately, or manipulate fantasy or prediction outcomes;
• use the Services, or scores from them, for gambling or betting;
• create multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage, or share accounts to avoid paying for a plan;
• scrape, copy or resell data from the Services at scale, or use it to build a competing service, without our written permission;
• interfere with, overload, probe or reverse-engineer the Services, or bypass any security or access limits; or
• upload malware or use the Services to send spam.

6. Fantasy, predictions and prizes

• Fantasy and prediction games are free-to-play games of skill for entertainment. No purchase or payment is needed to enter, and they are not gambling.
• Points are calculated from match data supplied by organisers and scorers. If that data is later corrected, points and rankings may change. Our calculation, after any correction, is final.
• Prizes, gift codes and rewards are offered by scoreblox or by the organisation or sponsor running the game, and are subject to any additional rules shown with the game. To win a prize you must be 18 or over (or the age of majority where you live) and meet any eligibility rules for that game. Games are void where prohibited by law.
• Prizes cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash unless the game rules say otherwise. We may disqualify entries and withhold prizes for cheating, multiple accounts or other breaches of these Terms.
• Apple and Google are not sponsors of, and are not involved in, any fantasy game, prediction game or prize.

7. Plans, subscriptions and payments

• Console plans. Organisations can use a free plan or subscribe to a paid plan (such as Starter, Club or Enterprise). Current features and prices are shown on our pricing page and in the Console. Paid plans are billed in advance through Stripe and renew automatically each billing period until cancelled.
• Credits. Some features, such as live streaming where available, use prepaid credits. Credits are tied to the organisation that bought them, have no cash value and cannot be transferred.
• scoreblox ad-free subscription. Bought through the App Store or Google Play, billed by Apple or Google, and renews automatically until you cancel it in your store account settings at least 24 hours before renewal. Refunds for store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their policies.
• Cancelling. You can cancel a Console plan at any time in the Console or by contacting us; it stays active until the end of the period you have paid for and then moves to the free plan. Deleting your account does not cancel a store subscription.
• Refunds. Payments and unused credits are non-refundable, except where required by law (including your rights under consumer law, which these Terms do not limit).
• Price changes. We may change prices for future billing periods. We will tell you in advance, and you can cancel before the new price applies.
• Prices are shown in New Zealand dollars unless stated otherwise and may be subject to taxes.

8. Advertising

The free scoreblox cricket app shows advertising, including ads provided by Google AdMob. Ads are removed for users with an active ad-free subscription. Organisations may also show sponsor branding on their competitions. We are not responsible for third-party ads or the products they promote.

9. Our intellectual property

The Services — including the apps, software, design, scoreblox name and logo, and statistics and content that we produce — belong to scoreblox or our licensors. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Services in line with these Terms. You must not copy, modify, distribute or sell any part of the Services except as these Terms allow. You may share links to public match pages and scorecards.

If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them without any obligation to you.

10. App stores

If you download our apps from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and scoreblox, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google are not responsible for the apps or for any support, maintenance, warranty or claims relating to them. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must also follow the app store’s own terms of use.

11. Availability and changes

We work to keep the Services running and accurate, but live data can be delayed, interrupted or wrong, and features may change, be limited to certain regions or plans, or be withdrawn. We may update the apps and require you to install updates to keep using them. We are not responsible for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control.

12. Third-party services

The Services rely on and may link to third-party services, such as sign-in providers, payment processors, app stores, streaming platforms and websites. Their own terms and privacy policies apply, and we are not responsible for them.

13. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose and uninterrupted availability. Scores, statistics, fantasy points and predictions are for information and entertainment only.

Nothing in these Terms excludes rights you have under consumer protection laws that cannot be excluded, such as the New Zealand Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 where it applies. If you use the Services for the purposes of a business or organisation, the parties agree that the Consumer Guarantees Act does not apply, to the extent permitted by law.

14. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, scoreblox is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, or for loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Services is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim and NZ$100.

15. Indemnity

You agree to cover scoreblox for any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal costs) arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your misuse of the Services.

16. Suspension and termination

You can stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or end your access, or an organisation’s, if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or to protect users or the Services. Where reasonable we will give notice first. Sections that by their nature should continue (including 4, 9 and 13–17) survive termination.

17. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New Zealand, and the courts of New Zealand have non-exclusive jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version here with a new “Last updated” date and, for significant changes, notify you in the apps or by email before they take effect. If you keep using the Services after that, you accept the updated Terms.
