These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Valusport Group Pty Ltd (ACN 698 493 337 / ABN 22 698 493 337), an Australian company with its principal place of business at Unit 104, 17 Meredith Street, Bankstown NSW 2200, Australia ("Valuball", "we", "us", or "our"), governing your use of the Valuball mobile app (on iOS and Android), our website at valuball.co, and related services (together, the "Service").
These Terms also serve as the end user licence agreement (EULA) for the Valuball app.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Service, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a subscription. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the involvement and consent of a parent or guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms. The Service is not intended for children under 13.
3. Service Description
Valuball provides financial analysis, data and insights relating to football clubs, including dashboards, data visualisations, valuation tools and reporting features. The Service draws on publicly filed accounts and third-party data sources. Features and content vary by subscription tier (Free, Premium and Boardroom) and may change over time.
4. No Professional or Financial Advice
The Service is provided for general information and analytical purposes only. It does not constitute financial, investment, accounting, legal, tax or other professional advice, and must not be relied upon as such. Nothing in the Service is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any asset, security or investment, or to enter into any transaction. You are solely responsible for any decisions you make, and you should obtain independent professional advice before acting on any information in the Service.
5. Data Sources, Accuracy and Methodology
The Service combines data from third-party sources with Valuball's own analysis and methodology:
- Club financial data is primarily derived from publicly filed company accounts obtained from Companies House (UK), used under the terms applicable to that public data.
- Player and transfer data is researched and compiled by Valuball, drawing on a range of public sources and third-party data feeds for reference. Transfer fees are verified against publicly available media reporting, and where available we provide a link to the supporting source within the Service so you can review it yourself.
Much of the data is derived, estimated or interpreted using our own methodology. Reported transfer fees in particular reflect figures published by third parties and are not always officially confirmed by the clubs involved. We take care to present accurate and current information, but we do not warrant that any data is complete, accurate, current or error-free. Links to third-party sources are provided for reference only; we do not control and are not responsible for third-party content. You should independently verify any information that is important to you. This Section is subject to Section 13 (Australian Consumer Law).
6. Accounts and Security
To access certain features you must create an account, including via Sign in with Google, Apple or Microsoft. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to notify us of any unauthorised use. You may not share your account or credentials with others.
7. Subscriptions, Trials and Payment
7.1 Tiers and pricing
Valuball offers Free, Premium and Boardroom tiers. Current prices, billing periods and the features included in each tier are shown at the point of purchase. Monthly billing is available on the web only; annual subscriptions are available across web, iOS and Android. Prices are inclusive or exclusive of taxes as indicated at purchase and may differ by platform and region.
7.2 Free trials
We may offer a free trial on eligible subscriptions (currently a 3-day trial on the Premium tier). The Boardroom tier does not include a free trial. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, the trial automatically converts to a paid subscription and you will be charged. Only one trial is available per user; we may withdraw or change trial offers at any time.
7.3 Auto-renewal
Paid subscriptions are auto-renewing. Your subscription automatically renews for successive billing periods unless cancelled, and your chosen payment method is charged at the start of each renewal period. Where required by the platform, your account is charged within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, and renewal can be turned off by going to your account settings at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
7.4 Payment processing by platform
- Web (valuball.co): payments are processed by Stripe. You authorise us, via Stripe, to charge your payment method on a recurring basis.
- iOS: purchases are made through Apple In-App Purchase, charged to your Apple ID, and also governed by Apple's terms. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings.
- Android: purchases are made through Google Play Billing, charged to your Google account, and also governed by Google's terms. Manage or cancel in your Google Play subscription settings.
7.5 Price changes
We may change subscription prices from time to time. Unless we state otherwise at the time of the change, existing subscribers keep the price they signed up at (we will "grandfather" your price) for as long as their subscription remains active and continuous. A price change will generally apply only to new subscribers, and to existing subscribers only where we tell you otherwise. Where a change does affect you, we will give you advance notice, it will take effect at your next renewal, and you may cancel before it takes effect. Price changes made through the App Store or Google Play are also subject to those platforms' own price-change and consent rules.
8. Cancellation and Refunds
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation stops future renewals; you retain access until the end of your current paid period. You must cancel through the channel where you subscribed:
- Web subscriptions: through your account settings or by contacting us.
- iOS subscriptions: through your Apple ID settings (refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies).
- Android subscriptions: through your Google Play settings (refunds are handled by Google under Google's policies).
For web subscriptions, refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis. Nothing in this section limits any non-excludable rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable law (see Section 13).
9. Account Deletion
You can delete your account and associated personal information at any time, in-app (Settings → Account → Delete Account) or at our account-deletion page. If you have an active paid subscription, you may need to cancel it through the channel where you purchased it first. Deletion is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
10. Intellectual Property, Trademarks and Data
Licence to you. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the Service for your own personal, non-commercial use.
Our rights. We and our licensors own all rights in the Service, including the software, design, content, our methodology, and the selection, structuring, compilation and presentation of data — including any metrics, ratings and valuations we derive or create (such as the Valuball Number). You obtain no ownership rights.
Third-party trademarks and non-affiliation. Club names, crests and badges, kit and stadium imagery, and competition and league names and logos (including those of the Premier League, the English Football League and individual clubs), together with other third-party marks shown in the Service, are the trademarks, copyright and property of their respective owners. They are used in the Service for identification, reference and editorial purposes only. Valuball is an independent service and is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise associated with any football club, league, competition or governing body. We claim no ownership of, and assert no rights in, these third-party marks.
Data and database rights. The data made available through the Service is sourced from third parties (whose underlying data remains their property) and is substantially organised, derived, enriched and presented by us. We own the rights, including any database rights, in our compilation and presentation of that data and in the metrics and analysis we derive from it. Except as expressly permitted in these Terms or with our prior written consent, you must not extract, copy, scrape, harvest, store, redistribute, republish, sell, sublicense or otherwise make available any data or content from the Service, and you must not use it to build, train, populate or operate any competing or derivative product, dataset or service.
API. If we make an application programming interface (API) or data feed available, your access and use will be governed by separate API terms in addition to these Terms. Unless those terms expressly permit it, you must not resell, redistribute, sublicense or commercially exploit data obtained via the API, pass that data to third parties, exceed any applicable rate or volume limits, or use it to create a product, dataset or feed that competes with or substitutes for the Service.
11. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent or harmful purpose
- Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Service, our systems or other users' accounts
- Share, sell or transfer your account or credentials
- Copy, reproduce, redistribute, resell or commercially exploit the Service or its data without our written permission
- Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the software, except to the extent this restriction is prohibited by law
- Use bots, scrapers or other automated means to access, extract or harvest data from the Service
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security or performance of the Service
12. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to Section 13, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure or error-free.
13. Australian Consumer Law
Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, warranty, right or remedy that you have under the ACL or other law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
Where our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee can be limited (and the goods or services are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use), our liability is limited, at our option, to resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied.
14. Limitation of Liability
Subject to Section 13, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:
- We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the Service.
- Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the liability.
15. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any loss, liability, cost or expense we reasonably incur arising from your breach of these Terms or your unlawful or unauthorised use of the Service, except to the extent caused by us.
16. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms or engage in conduct we reasonably consider unlawful or harmful to us, other users, or the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account as described in Section 9. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4, 10, 12–15, 17 and 18) will survive.
17. Changes to the Service and Terms
We may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (for example, by email or through the Service) before they take effect. Your continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
18. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia. This does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer laws of your country of residence.
19. App Store and Platform Terms (Apple)
These Terms are between you and Valuball only, and not with Apple Inc. ("Apple"). The following apply where you obtain or use the Valuball app via the Apple App Store:
- Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. The licence granted to you is limited to a non-transferable licence to use the app on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app. Any maintenance and support is our sole responsibility.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple provides no warranty for the app. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); to the extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims under consumer protection or similar laws.
- We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the app or your use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting", and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
