By downloading, installing, or using the App, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use the App.

The App is designed for users based in the United Kingdom. We do not represent that the App is appropriate for use in any other jurisdiction.

You may only use the App if you meet all of the following conditions:

• •You are at least 18 years of age. During account creation you will be asked to confirm that you are aged 18 or over. By making that declaration and continuing to use the App, you confirm this is true. The App is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.
• •You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract under the laws of the jurisdiction in which you reside.
• •Your use of the App is not prohibited by any applicable law or regulation.
• •You are registering as a private individual and not as a commercial operator, tipster service, or gambling business.

We reserve the right to refuse access to the App to any person at our discretion.

To use the App you must create an account using Apple Sign In. When registering, you agree to:

• •Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it up to date.
• •Maintain the confidentiality of your account credentials and not share them with any other person.
• •Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorised by you.
• •Notify us immediately at hello@group-acca.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account or any breach of security.
• •Register only one account. Creating multiple accounts is not permitted.

We will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section.

Group Acca is a free social app for football picks. It allows groups of friends, and open community groups, to make team picks, track results and compare standings over time. Group Acca does not take bets of any kind.

You must understand the following limitations before using the App:

• •Group Acca is not a licensed gambling operator. We do not hold a licence from the UK Gambling Commission or any other regulatory body.
• •We do not accept, hold, process, or transfer any money or funds on behalf of users. Any financial arrangements between group members are entirely private and take place outside the App.
• •We do not take bets and we do not place bets on behalf of users. Any betting activity a group chooses to undertake takes place independently, outside the App, through third-party bookmakers of the group's own choosing.
• •Fixture information, match odds, and results data displayed in the App are sourced from third-party data providers. This information is provided for social coordination purposes only and does not constitute financial, gambling, or betting advice.
• •The App does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any fixture or results data. In the event of any discrepancy between data displayed in the App and official match results, official sources shall prevail.

The App allows users to create and join groups. The following terms apply to group functionality:

• •The user who creates a group becomes the group admin. Admins have control over group settings including group name, stake amount, weekly round configuration, and member management.
• •Group admins act in a private capacity on behalf of their group members. Group Acca is not a party to any arrangement between group members and accepts no liability for the actions or decisions of a group admin.
• •All financial arrangements between group members — including stakes, payouts, and settlements — are private matters between those individuals. Group Acca does not participate in, facilitate, or have any visibility of any financial settlement.
• •Group admins are responsible for ensuring that the stake amount, pick configuration, and results they set within the App are accurate. We accept no liability for errors made by group admins in configuring rounds or recording outcomes.
• •Group Acca also runs community groups that are open to all users, such as the weekend group. If you join a community group, your username and profile photo are visible to every member of that group, including on its leaderboards. You can stop appearing there by leaving the group where the App allows, or by deleting your account.
• •Members who join a group do so voluntarily. By joining a group, you accept the rules and configuration set by that group's admin.
• •The Split Acca feature allows admins to divide a round into sub-groups. Members affected by a split will be notified via push notification. Any financial implications of a split are the responsibility of the group admin and members to agree upon independently.

Group Acca will not mediate disputes between group members or between a member and their group admin. Any such disputes are a private matter between the individuals concerned.

When you make a selection or pick within the App, you acknowledge the following:

• •Picks are recorded for the purpose of social tracking within your private group. They do not constitute a bet placed with any bookmaker or gambling operator.
• •Fixture and odds data is sourced from a third-party sports data API (api-sports.io). We do not control this data and cannot guarantee its accuracy, timeliness, or completeness.
• •Odds displayed in the App are shown for informational purposes only. They are not a recommendation to bet, and they may not reflect the odds available at any bookmaker at the time you place a bet.
• •Outcome tracking (win, loss, void) is based on data received from third-party sources. We are not liable for any financial consequence arising from a discrepancy between App-recorded outcomes and actual match results.
• •We reserve the right to correct or update outcome data where we become aware of an error, but we are under no obligation to do so.

Group Acca is a social tracking tool. It is not a gambling product and it does not take bets. However, we acknowledge that some users may bet independently, outside the App, and we take our responsibilities seriously.

• •The App is strictly for users aged 18 and over. Gambling and betting are only legal for adults in the United Kingdom.
• •You are responsible for ensuring that any betting activity you undertake independently is lawful in the jurisdiction in which you are located.
• •We encourage all users to gamble responsibly. If you or someone you know may have a problem with gambling, free, confidential support is available.
