Terms of use
Effective 31 October 2026. Version 1.10.
These terms are the agreement between you and Ignacio Uliczki, a sole trader based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, trading as Squadcard (“Squadcard”, “we”). When you use Squadcard, you are contracting with us. By creating a squad, joining one, voting or buying anything in Squadcard, or by continuing to use it, you agree to these terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Squadcard.
Who can use Squadcard
You must be at least 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, you need a parent or guardian’s permission. You are responsible for keeping access to your account and devices secure.
Under 18? Your card has no photo, and your shared card link only works for your squad. Nobody can message you in Squadcard, and it never shows where you are. To buy anything on the website you need to be 18, or have your parent or guardian buy it or agree to it.
What Squadcard is
Squadcard lets friends who play football together organise games, rate each other after matches and see the results as player cards, teams and awards. Ratings are the opinions of your squad-mates turned into numbers for fun. They are not a professional assessment of anyone’s ability, and we don’t promise that they are fair or accurate.
Your content
You keep ownership of what you add: names, photos, squad names, crests, tags and votes. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, process and display that content so Squadcard can work, including showing it to your squad and rendering it into cards and images that you or your squad choose to share. The licence ends when the content is deleted, except for copies already shared by people outside our control and anonymous votes kept as described in the privacy policy.
Only upload photos you have the right to use, and only photos of yourself unless the person agrees. A squad’s crest image (Squad Pro) must be something you made or may use: not a football club’s, league’s or brand’s badge. A crest can be reported by reporting the squad, and we remove crests that break these rules.
Zero tolerance for abuse
Squadcard is banter between mates, not a place to hurt people. You must not use it to post or send anything that is abusive, harassing, hateful, sexual, violent, threatening or discriminatory, including in player or squad names, custom tags or photos. You must not impersonate someone, add a person to a squad to mock them, try to see how individuals voted, manipulate ratings with fake players or accounts, or interfere with the service.
You also must not misuse Squadcard in other ways: no unlawful use, no fraud or spam, nothing that infringes someone else’s copyright, trade mark or other rights, and no attempts to break or get around its security (for example malware, probing or testing for weaknesses, or scraping data with automated tools).
Anyone can report a player, photo or squad in the app or on the website. We review reports, remove content that breaks these rules, and may suspend or delete the accounts and squads involved, without notice where the abuse is serious. Organisers can also remove players from their squad, and in the app you can block a player so you no longer see their photo.
Reports, complaints and appeals
- Reporting: use Report on the player, photo or squad. A reported photo comes off every card at once while we look at it. We aim to review reports within 2 working days, sooner for anything involving a child or a threat.
- Illegal content (for example threats, hate, or sexual images of anyone under 18) is removed as soon as we see it, the accounts involved are closed, and we report it to the police or the right authority where the law requires.
- Appeals: if we removed something of yours or suspended your account and you think we got it wrong, email support@squadcard.app with “Appeal” in the subject within 30 days. Someone looks at it again and replies within 14 days; if we were wrong we put it back.
- Complaints about how we handle reports, about these terms, or about how we keep people safe: email support@squadcard.app. We reply within 14 days.
Squad Pro subscriptions
- Joining squads, voting and your card are free. Starting a new squad needs Squad Pro, a subscription offered monthly or yearly at the price shown in the app before you buy. Squads started before 5 October 2026 don't need it. Anyone in a squad can buy it, and it makes the squads you choose Pro for all their members: two squads with the standard plan, more with the higher plans shown in the app. You can move it between squads you’re in up to twice in any 30 days.
- If your subscription ends, the squads it covers keep all their data; their Pro features pause once the paid period ends. If you leave a squad, your subscription stops covering it and is free to cover another. Leaving a squad doesn’t cancel your subscription.
- If a free trial is offered, you won’t be charged until it ends, and you can cancel before then at no cost.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the same price and length unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
- Bought in the app: payment is taken by your Apple ID, and you manage or cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies.
- Bought on the website: our order process is conducted by our online reseller Kelviq, the Merchant of Record for all website orders, which takes the payment and sends your receipt. You can cancel from the link in your receipt email, from your account on the website, or by contacting us. Website purchases can be refunded in full within 14 days (see the refund policy), and where the law gives you more, you keep it. For payment, renewal, cancellation, tax and billing on the website, Kelviq’s buyer terms apply as well.
- When Pro ends, your squad keeps all its history, but picking teams and opening new votes pause, and seasons older than the last finished one show only their Player of the Season, until someone in the squad puts Squad Pro on it.
Player Pro
- Player Pro is an optional upgrade for you alone, in every squad you’re in: your history and stats across squads and seasons, deeper stats, images of your year, a standing cut-out photo on your card and extra card frames and designs. It never affects playing, voting, ratings or what your squad-mates see of the game.
- It’s offered monthly or yearly (a subscription) or once for good (lifetime), at the price shown before you buy. It needs an account, because it belongs to you rather than a squad.
- The subscription terms above apply to the monthly and yearly plans: they renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends, and you manage them where you bought them. A lifetime purchase doesn’t renew and isn’t charged again.
- When Player Pro ends, your card and stats stay; the Player Pro extras pause until you get it again.
Card designs
- Some card designs can be bought once and are then yours to keep and wear on your card in every squad. You always see exactly which design you’re buying and its price first. Nothing is random: there are no packs, loot boxes or chances.
- Designs bought in the app are restored with the same account and Apple ID, and refunds are handled by Apple under Apple’s policies. Designs bought on the website follow our refund policy. A refunded design comes off your card.
- A special card you earn in a week (for example player of the match) shows its own look that week.
Pitch fees
Squadcard can keep a record of who owes what for the pitch. It is a record only: Squadcard never collects, holds or transfers money, and it isn’t a payment service. Settling up is between you and your squad-mates.
Playing football is at your own risk
Squadcard helps you organise games; it doesn’t run them. We aren’t responsible for venues, bookings, injuries, weather, or anything that happens on or around the pitch.
Our service
We work to keep Squadcard available and your data safe, but we provide it “as is” and can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may change, add or remove features. If we take away something you have paid for, or change it so it is clearly worse, you can cancel and we’ll refund the unused part of a website purchase (App Store purchases are refunded through Apple). If we ever shut Squadcard down, we will give at least 30 days’ notice in the app, let you export your data, and stop charging for Pro.
Squadcard, its name, design, card designs and software belong to us. You may use them only through the app and website as intended. Squadcard is not affiliated with any football club, league, governing body or video game.
Ending your use
You can stop using Squadcard and delete your account at any time from Settings in the app or Account settings on the website. We may suspend or close an account, or take away access to paid features, for a serious breach of these terms, repeated or serious breaches of the rules above, non-payment (for example a payment that is reversed or charged back), or a security or fraud risk. The sections on your content, liability and our rights continue to apply after your account ends where needed.
Liability
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. Otherwise, to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or unforeseeable loss, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for Squadcard in the 12 months before the claim. If you are a consumer, you keep all rights the law of the country where you live gives you, and these terms do not take them away.
If something we supply damages your device or other digital content because we didn’t use reasonable care and skill, we will repair the damage or pay you fair compensation. The limit above doesn’t apply to that, or to our obligations under data protection law.
Apple
If you use the iPhone app, you also agree to Apple’s App Store terms. These terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Squadcard or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any claims relating to it, including product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims; we are, to the extent these terms say so. If the app fails to meet any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price of the app, if any. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo and are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Changes
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect; if you keep using Squadcard afterwards, the new terms apply. If a change is to your disadvantage and you pay for Pro or Player Pro, you can cancel before it takes effect and get a refund for the unused part of a website purchase. The version and date at the top always show the current one.
Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you’re a consumer, you also keep the protection of the law where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts where you live. Please email us first: most things are quicker to sort out that way.
