Effective Date: May 28, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, accessing, or using Scobo (“the App”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not install, access, or use the App. We may update these terms, and continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years of age, or 16 if you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA). By creating an account, you represent that you meet this age requirement and that any information you provide is accurate and complete. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these terms on your behalf.
3. Account Registration and Security
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You must not share your account, create multiple accounts, or allow any third party to access your account. You are fully liable for all activity occurring under your account, whether authorized or not. Notify us immediately at scoboapp@gmail.com of any unauthorized use.
4. License and Restrictions
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. You agree not to:

5. Description of Service
Scobo is a skill-based social sports prediction game. Users predict live match events and earn points based on accuracy and event probability.
IMPORTANT — NO REAL-MONEY GAMBLING:
- Points have zero monetary value. They cannot be purchased, sold, transferred, exchanged for cash, or redeemed for any real-world prize of monetary value.
- Scobo is a game of skill and knowledge, not chance. No real-money wagering, betting, or gambling occurs within the App.
- If applicable law characterizes any element of Scobo as gambling, your right to use the App is immediately revoked in the relevant jurisdiction.
6. User Conduct and Content
You are solely responsible for any content you submit, including your username and display name. You agree not to:
- Use offensive, obscene, or infringing usernames
- Harass, threaten, impersonate, or abuse other users
- Submit content that violates any law or third-party right
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without notice, to:
- Remove or modify any user content
- Suspend or terminate any account for violating these terms
- Report violations to relevant authorities if required by law
7. Predictions and Scoring
All predictions are final once submitted. Scores are calculated based on event outcomes and probabilities derived from third-party sports data. We make no guarantee — express or implied — regarding the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or availability of any sports data. Technical errors, delays, or inaccuracies in third-party data shall not give rise to any liability on our part.
8. Leaderboards and Social Features
Your username, scores, rankings, and league memberships are public within the App. You may not opt out of leaderboard visibility while maintaining an active account. You acknowledge that leaderboard data may be used for promotional purposes.
9. Intellectual Property
The Scobo name, logo, design, code, and all proprietary content are owned by Scobo or its licensors. No license or right is granted except as expressly set forth in Section 4. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
10. Third-Party Services
The App integrates with third-party services including Google Firebase (authentication, data storage, push notifications), ESPN API (live sports data), and YouTube Data API (video content). We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, security, or operation of any third-party service. Your use of these services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.
11. Push Notifications
With your permission, we may send push notifications. You may opt out at any time via device settings. Opting out may affect your experience (e.g., missed match updates).
12. Privacy
Your use of Scobo is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these terms by reference. For EEA users, our lawful basis for processing personal data is your consent and the performance of these terms.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Scobo, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:
- Your use or misuse of the App
- Your violation of these terms
- Your violation of any applicable law or third-party right
14. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

- Your license to use the App immediately ceases
- We may delete your account and associated data (subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable law)

Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be finally settled by binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and the seat of arbitration shall be London, England.
Class Action Waiver
All claims must be brought in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
EEA Users
If you reside in the EEA, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence, and you may also bring claims in your local courts.
18. Severability
