Terms of Service

Last updated: June 10, 2026

1. Acceptance

By creating an account or using World Cup 2026 Predictor (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 in the EU) to use the Service.

2. The Service

We provide a paid prediction game for the FIFA World Cup 2026 tournament. Users pay a one-time entry fee to submit predictions, join private leagues, and compete on leaderboards.

This is a skill-based game, not gambling. No cash prizes or real-money rewards are paid to users. Standings and bragging rights are the reward.

3. Account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. You may not share your account or let others use it. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.

You agree to provide accurate information during signup and to keep it current.

4. Payment and refunds

The entry fee is a one-time charge. Pricing is shown to you at checkout based on your region and is processed in USD by Stripe.

Refund policy: Refunds are available within 14 days of payment, provided you have not yet locked in your final tournament predictions. After predictions are locked, payments are non-refundable. Email hello@predictwc.org to request a refund.

Optional addons (extra leagues, double award picks) follow the same refund window.

5. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to:

  • Create multiple accounts to game leaderboards
  • Use automated scripts, bots, or scrapers
  • Attempt to access another user's account or data
  • Reverse-engineer, decompile, or copy the Service
  • Use the Service for any illegal purpose
  • Submit obscene, harassing, or unlawful content in your display name or league names
  • Resell or commercially redistribute the Service

Violations may result in account termination without refund.

6. League rules

You may create private leagues and invite others via the 6-character invite code. League creators may delete their own leagues at any time. We reserve the right to remove leagues that violate these terms (e.g. offensive names, fraud).

The free tier permits up to 5 leagues per user. Additional leagues require the "Extra Leagues" addon ($3 one-time).

7. Predictions and scoring

Scoring rules are described on the website. We may make minor adjustments to scoring formulas before the tournament begins, with reasonable notice. Once the tournament starts, scoring rules are locked.

The Champion futures pick is permanently locked once submitted and cannot be changed.

We use official FIFA results to determine outcomes. In rare cases of postponed or contested matches, we will apply judgment in good faith. Our scoring decisions are final.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its design, code, content, and branding, is owned by us and protected by copyright. You may not copy, modify, or create derivative works without permission.

Team names, country flags, and tournament references are used under fair use for editorial and informational purposes. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by FIFA.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, accuracy of results, or specific outcomes.

This is a prediction game played for fun and skill. We make no representations about the actual results of tournament matches.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the previous 12 months.

11. Termination

You may delete your account at any time via your account settings or by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Upon termination, your access to the Service ends. Anonymized prediction data may be retained for historical and analytics purposes.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated by email. Continued use after notice constitutes acceptance.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction where our operating entity is registered. Disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration unless prohibited by your local law.
