The terms of use

What this is

A hobby app for running drafts, picks and tables of real sport among a small group of friends. It comes with no service levels and no promise that the app stays up.

Who we are

Bird's Eye is run by a private individual in France ("we"), named with full contact details in the legal notice. You can reach us through the support page or the address in the legal notice.

Age

You must be 13 or over to use Bird's Eye. The paper book and the tables are for adults only: opening a book is a declaration that you are 18 or over. If you are under 18, check with a parent before you add an email address.

Not gambling, no prizes

• Bird's Eye charges nothing to play, holds no money, runs no prize pool and pays nothing out.
• What a league plays for is up to its members. If you agree anything of value between yourselves, that agreement is yours alone, it happens outside the app, and you are responsible for making sure it is lawful where you live. Do not use Bird's Eye to organise betting with anyone under eighteen.

The paper book and the tables

• Play money stays play money. Play money is never sold, never given in exchange for a tip and never exchangeable for money, goods or anything else, inside or outside Bird's Eye. If that ever changed, these terms would change first. The full statement is on the play money page.
• The book and the tables are for adults. Opening a book is a declaration that you are eighteen or over. Do not open one for someone who is not.
• Prices shown in the book come from public sports data feeds and are a record of the market, not advice, not an offer and not a bet with us.
• Table outcomes come from a committed, verifiable random draw as described on the fairness page. We may rotate seeds, change rules or close a table at any time.
• The Bird is a fixed-policy house character. Its lines are entertainment and are not statements about you.

Your record and email

• Your record belongs to a person identified by a signed cookie. Saving it to an email address is optional and is done by a one-time link; the address is used for that link and, if you asked for them, reminders. There is no password to protect and nothing to recover beyond asking for a new link.
• You can delete everything about you from your profile. League seats keep their display name, because that is the league's record too.

Tips

• Every feature is free for everyone, the draft strategist included.
• Tips on Ko-fi are gifts to the person who runs Bird's Eye. They are a thank-you and unlock nothing: a tip buys no feature, never adds play money, never changes a price and never affects a result. Ko-fi's own terms govern the payment.
• If you tipped by mistake, write to us through the support page within 14 days and we will ask Ko-fi to refund it.

Acceptable use

• Do not use the app for harassment, fraud, unlawful gambling or any other unlawful purpose.
• Do not scrape, overload or otherwise abuse the service or its API.
• Anyone with a league code can post in that league's chat. Share the code only with people you trust; the host can delete messages and the league if it goes wrong.

What you post

You are responsible for what you write in a league, including chat, league names and rules. Do not impersonate another member, and do not post anything unlawful, hateful, sexual, threatening or about someone's private life. The host can delete messages and the league. We can remove content or a league that breaks these terms or the law.

Reporting

To report content, a league or a problem with these terms, use the support page or write to the address in the legal notice. We read every report and act on unlawful content promptly. That address is also our point of contact for authorities under the EU Digital Services Act and for users under the UK Online Safety Act.

Affiliations

Bird's Eye is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or licensed by any league, club, federation, promotion (including the UFC and PFL), sponsor, bookmaker, data provider or competition organiser. Team, competition and athlete names are used only to identify them, and all trade marks belong to their owners. Bird's Eye is unofficial and is not associated in any way with the Formula 1 companies; the full notice is in the legal notice. If you own a name, mark or image shown here and want it removed, write to the address in the legal notice and we will act promptly.

Liability

Bird's Eye is free and provided as it is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost data, wrong results, downtime, or anything you or your friends agree between yourselves, and our total liability to you is limited to 50 euros. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Changes and closing

We may change these terms. For a material change we will show a notice in the app at least 14 days before it applies; if you do not agree, stop using Bird's Eye and delete your data from your profile. We may suspend a league or a person that breaks these terms, and we may close Bird's Eye; if we do, we will give 30 days' notice in the app where we can, so you can save what you want.

Law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of that country, and you may bring a claim in its courts. We would much rather sort out any problem directly: write to us first.

Contact and legal notice

Through the support page. The publisher, host and contact address are in the legal notice, and the privacy page says what the app stores.
