Terms of Service

You may use the Game only if you can form a binding contract. The Game is not directed to children under 13, and you must be at least 13 years old to use it. If you are between 13 and the age of digital consent where you live — this is 13–16 in the EU/EEA (for example 14 in Greece), and 13 in the UK and the US — you may use the Game only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, who must read and accept these Terms for you and supervise your use, including any online features and any advertising or purchases we may add in future. By using the Game you confirm that you meet these requirements; if you don’t, please don’t use the Game.

Subject to these Terms, Nexus grants you a personal, limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to download and use one copy of the Game on a device you own or control, solely for your own private, non-commercial entertainment.

Except where mandatory law allows otherwise, you must not, and must not let others:

• copy, modify, translate or create derivative works of the Game;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, or try to extract its source code;
• rent, lease, lend, sell, sublicense, distribute or commercially exploit it;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notices.

All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by Nexus and its licensors.

The Game’s online features use an anonymous account issued automatically by Google Firebase. You are not asked for an email, password or real identity. This anonymous identifier is tied to your installation and only lets you own and update your own leaderboard entry. You are responsible for activity on your device. Because the account is anonymous and device-bound, deleting and reinstalling the Game or switching devices may create a new identity and may not carry over your entry; we don’t guarantee recovery or migration of progress.

If you use the optional online features, the Game publishes a public leaderboard entry made up of the nickname you enter, the country you pick, and your scores. This is visible to other players worldwide and may be searchable in-game (for example, to add friends). By choosing a nickname and country and submitting scores, you ask us to publish that information and agree to it being shown publicly. Don’t put real personal data (your full name, address, phone or email) in your nickname — choose a pseudonym. We may remove or reset any entry we reasonably believe was obtained by cheating or that is unlawful or offensive. See our Privacy Policy for how this data is handled and how to have your entry removed.

You are responsible for the nickname and country you choose. You must not pick a nickname that:

• is unlawful, defamatory, hateful, harassing, obscene or otherwise objectionable;
• impersonates any person, brand or Nexus, or misleads as to identity or affiliation;
• infringes anyone’s intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• contains another person’s personal data, or is used to advertise or spam.

The Game applies an automated name filter, but filtering isn’t perfect and doesn’t shift responsibility from you. You grant Nexus a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host and display your nickname and country for the purpose of running the leaderboard and friends features. You can withdraw this by changing your nickname or asking us to remove your entry. We may refuse, edit or remove user content at our reasonable discretion, but we’re not obliged to monitor it.

You agree that you won’t, and won’t help anyone else:

• cheat, or use exploits, bots, automation, hacks, mods or unauthorized software to gain an unfair advantage or manipulate scores or rankings;
• submit falsified, manipulated or machine-generated scores;
• access, tamper with, probe or scan our servers, APIs or backend other than through ordinary use of the Game;
• scrape or systematically collect data from the Game or other players;
• introduce viruses or harmful code, or place an unreasonable load on the Game or its networks;
• harass, abuse, defame or threaten other players, or violate their rights;
• buy, sell, trade, transfer or “real-money trade” your entry, anonymous account, friend code or any in-game items or currency we may add in future, except where we expressly allow it;
• harvest or collect other players’ data or personal information, or ask other players for personal contact details;
• use the Game for any unlawful, fraudulent or unauthorized commercial purpose, or circumvent its security or access controls.

Breaking these rules may lead to removal of entries and suspension or termination under section 14.

The Game and all of its components — software, code, graphics, player and team figures, audio, music, commentary, look and feel, and the names “Mega Cup Glory” and “Nexus Software Systems” — are owned by Nexus or its licensors and protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Your licence under section 2 does not transfer any ownership to you.

Everything in the Game is fictional. All players, teams, managers, kits, “legends”, stadiums and competitions are invented. Any resemblance or similarity to real people (living, retired or deceased), or to real names, numbers, likenesses, clubs, leagues, sponsors or tournaments, is purely coincidental and is not intended to identify, endorse or suggest any association with a real person or organisation; where real-world football served as broad inspiration, it is used only in a non-infringing, transformative way. The Game is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or licensed by any football player, club, league, federation or governing body (including FIFA, UEFA or any national association), and does not use their official names, trademarks or logos. Any name you enter (such as a nickname) is your responsibility under section 5. If you believe content in the Game infringes your rights, contact us and we’ll review it promptly.

The Game is currently free to download and at present has no in-app purchases, virtual currency or advertising. We may introduce any of these in future — for example optional paid content, in-app purchases, virtual items or currency, or advertising. If we do, the feature and any price will be clearly described in the Game before you opt in, any purchases will run through the Apple App Store or Google Play under their purchase and refund rules, and any advertising will be handled as described in our Privacy Policy. Any virtual currency or virtual items would be licensed to you for personal use only, would have no real-world monetary value, could not be exchanged, sold or transferred for real money, and would be non-refundable except where mandatory law provides otherwise; where items are sold or awarded through randomised mechanics, we will disclose the odds where the platform or the law requires it. You are responsible for purchases made through your device or account, including by minors in your care. For any future purchase of digital content, EU/EEA consumers have a statutory 14-day right of withdrawal; however, by starting the download or use before that period ends and acknowledging that you thereby lose this right, you consent to immediate performance and waive it. Your mandatory statutory rights are not affected.

The Game relies on Google Firebase (anonymous authentication and the Cloud Firestore database behind the online leaderboard) and on the Apple App Store and Google Play for distribution. Your use of those services is subject to the third parties’ own terms and privacy policies. We’re not responsible for third-party services, their availability, or their acts or omissions, and you use them at your own risk. If we add advertising, analytics or payment features in future, further providers (such as ad networks, analytics tools or payment processors) may be involved, and your use of them will likewise be subject to their terms and to our Privacy Policy. Spoken commentary, where available, is produced by your device’s own text-to-speech.

We may update, change or discontinue the Game or any feature (including the online leaderboard), in whole or in part, with reasonable notice where practicable; some updates may be needed for the Game to keep working. We don’t guarantee that the Game or its online features will always be available, uninterrupted, secure or error-free, and we don’t warrant that saved data, scores or progress will never be lost. We may modify or remove server-side data where reasonably necessary to run the Game, to comply with law, or after a long period of inactivity, giving you notice where the law requires it.

How we handle data is described in our Privacy Policy. In short, the Game is data-minimal: online it processes only an anonymous identifier and the nickname, country and scores you choose to publish; today it uses no analytics, advertising, tracking or push notifications and requests no special device permissions, and if that changes our Privacy Policy will describe it first. You can exercise your data-protection rights, or have your public entry removed, by contacting us.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the next paragraph, the Game is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. You use the Game at your own risk and are responsible for your device and internet connection. Please also play in moderation and take regular breaks — you are responsible for your own health and wellbeing while playing.

Your mandatory rights as a consumer are not affected. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any right you have under mandatory consumer law, including the Greek Civil Code, Greek Law 2251/1994 on consumer protection, and EU Directive 2019/770 on the supply of digital content and services. You keep the legal guarantee of conformity and the remedies the law gives you where the Game is not as described or not of the quality you can reasonably expect.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or for anything that can’t be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Subject to that, and to the maximum extent permitted by law:

• we’re not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill or progress;
• we’re not liable for damage caused by third-party services, by other players, by your failure to follow these Terms, or by events outside our reasonable control;
• because the Game is free, where a financial cap is permitted our total liability to you for all claims is limited to the greater of what you paid us (if anything) in the prior 12 months or EUR 50.

For consumers, this section applies only as far as mandatory law permits.

You can stop using the Game at any time and uninstall it, and you can ask us to delete your public leaderboard entry. We may suspend, restrict or terminate your access, or remove your entries, where you materially or repeatedly breach these Terms (for example cheating or abuse), where required by law, or where reasonably necessary to protect the Game or other players — giving notice and, for less serious issues, a chance to put things right where that’s proportionate. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, governing law and the general provisions) continue to apply.

We may update these Terms as the Game evolves or for legal reasons. For material changes we’ll give reasonable notice (for example an in-game notice or an updated “Last updated” date here). Changes take effect on the date stated and won’t apply retroactively to your detriment. If you don’t agree to a change, stop using the Game; continued use after it takes effect means you accept the updated Terms.

These Terms and any dispute relating to them or the Game are governed by the laws of Greece, and the courts of Athens, Greece have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory law of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings there. EU consumers can use the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. None of this affects your right to go to the competent courts.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Game. If any part is found invalid, the rest stays in force. Our not enforcing a provision isn’t a waiver of it. You may not assign your rights; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition or transfer of the Game, provided your rights aren’t reduced. We’re not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. These Terms are written in English; any translation is for convenience, and in case of conflict the English version prevails except where mandatory consumer law of your country requires the local version to govern.

If you got the Game from Apple’s App Store: these Terms are between you and Nexus only, not Apple, and Apple isn’t responsible for the Game or its content. Your licence is to use the Game on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the Apple Media Services Terms. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. If the Game fails to conform to a warranty, you may notify Apple, which may refund the purchase price (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple isn’t responsible for addressing any claims relating to the Game, and Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you got the Game from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. These Terms are between you and Nexus only; Google is not a party and isn’t responsible for the Game. Where these Terms conflict with the Google Play Terms regarding distribution through Google Play, the Google Play Terms prevail to the extent of the conflict.
