These are the terms that apply to the use of the Striver app and related services, which explain: how we provide the services to you, the user (your details will be provided by you when you open an account, as explained in these terms); and the terms that apply to the provision of the app and services.
We are Striver Technologies Limited; registered in England & Wales, number 16307327, and our address is 30/34 North Street, Hailsham, East Sussex, BN27 1DW, United Kingdom.
You are a user of our app, website, or other services; you must provide your details to us when you register to use the app, as described below.
We provide a fan engagement social platform that enables users to create, share, and discover football-related content, including from current and former professional football players.
These terms form a contract between you and us, which governs your use of the app and any related services, websites and content we may make available (referred to together as the service). Please read these terms carefully; by using the service you will be treated as having agreed to them; if you do not wish to agree to them, you should not access or use the service.
Some of the words used in these terms have special definitions; where particular wording is defined and for the first time, it looks like this; where one section of these general terms refers to another section, we may also use links so that you can click through to the relevant section.
These terms apply to every user of the service. If you wish to become a squad owner (a user who has been approved by us to create and operate one or more squads in accordance with these terms), then additional terms will be separately agreed with you and will also apply to you in relation to your use of the service.
By creating an account or otherwise accessing or using the service, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these terms and by any documents referred to in them, including:
We may change these terms from time to time: see the clause entitled changes to these terms.
You may only use the service if you are:
By creating an account and/or using the service, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements.
We will verify your age using facial age estimation when you apply to create an account and will use this to tailor your experience on the service; we may also require you to verify your identity at any time and, if you do not do so, we may stop your use of the service.
You may not use the service on behalf of a third party except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by us in your capacity as an authorised representative of an appointed squad owner that is a corporate body.
To use the app and most features of the service you must register for an account. You must:
There are different types of accounts available on the service:
As a Minor account holder reaches a new age category, the features and restrictions applicable to that account may automatically change.
Once the account holder reaches 18 years of age, we may convert their account into an Adult account and remove Guardian supervision features once they are no longer applicable. If a Guardian withdraws their approval, or a Minor account is no longer linked to an eligible Guardian account, we may suspend or deactivate the Minor account until a new Guardian approves it.
By approving a Minor account, the Guardian:
Although we provide parental supervision tools, Guardians remain responsible for supervising the minor’s online activities. Our supervision tools are intended to assist Guardians and do not replace parental responsibility.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that takes place under your account (and any linked accounts). You must notify us immediately (our contact details are in the app and at the end of these terms) if you suspect any unauthorised access to, or use of, your account.
You may only hold one personal account at any time. You may not sell, transfer, assign or share your account with any other person.
We may refuse to register, or may suspend or close, any account in accordance with these terms.
Your account profile may include a username, profile picture, biography and other information you choose to make available. You are responsible for ensuring that the information in your profile is accurate, lawful and does not infringe the rights of any other person (and Guardians are also responsible for ensuring the same is true of any Minor accounts under their supervision). We may change or require you to change your username where we reasonably believe it is misleading, infringes another person’s rights, is offensive, or is otherwise inappropriate.
Our use of personal information is governed by our privacy policy.
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sub-licensable, revocable, licence to access and use the service for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these terms; if you are a squad owner, additional rights and obligations apply as separately agreed with you.
We (or our licensors) own all intellectual property rights in and relating to the service, including in its software, design, branding, logos, names, look-and-feel, databases and all content that we make available (other than user content); all such rights are reserved. Except for the limited rights expressly granted to you under these terms, we do not grant you any right, title or interest in or to any of our intellectual property. You must not remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trade mark or other proprietary notices on the service.
We may publish community guidelines that explain in more detail what is and is not acceptable on the service; the community guidelines are treated as forming part of these terms, and you must comply with them in addition to any other provisions of these terms.
You must not, and you must not permit anyone else to:
You must not upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available through the service any content that:
You are responsible for your content and for any consequences of posting it. You must make sure that:
You retain ownership of any intellectual property rights you hold in your content; we do not claim any ownership of any of your content under these terms.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable licence to use, host, store, cache, copy, adapt (for the purpose of formatting and technical operation), publish, perform, display, distribute and translate your content for the purposes of operating, promoting, marketing and improving the service. This licence will remain in effect for as long as your content remains on the service, until a reasonable time after its removal from the service, except to the extent we are required by law, or by our backup and audit policies, to retain copies. You are not entitled to any payment or other consideration for granting this licence except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed with us in writing.
Where moral rights cannot be assigned or licensed under applicable law, you waive (or, where waiver is not permitted, agree not to enforce) your moral rights to the extent necessary to allow us to exercise our rights in relation to your content as described above.
The service allows you to react to, rate, review and comment on other users’ content. When you do so, your reaction, rating, review or comment is treated as your content, and you must comply with these terms in relation to it.
Your ratings, reviews, and comments must reflect your genuine and honest opinion based on your actual experience. You must not post ratings, reviews or comments that are fake, paid for, manipulated, or coordinated with other users to artificially affect a rating.
Some squads are free to join; others may require you to purchase a subscription in order to access some or all of the squad’s content.
Each squad is operated by the squad owner, who will lead the posting of content to the squad, and who may suggest rules in relation to participation in the squad. You should comply with any rules published by the squad owner, provided they are consistent with these terms and applicable law.
Unless you are required to purchase a subscription to the squad (in which case see below):
Where you purchase a subscription to a squad, the contract for the supply of the underlying paid-for digital content or services is between you and us, except where we expressly say otherwise.
Where a subscription is purchased for the benefit of a Minor, the Guardian is treated as the contracting customer.
Before you purchase a subscription to a squad, we will provide the information required under applicable law, including the price (inclusive of taxes), the duration, and the renewal terms.
Depending on the jurisdiction in which you are based, including if you are located in the EU or UK, you may have the right to cancel a paid subscription within 14 days of entering into it, without giving any reason. However, where you have requested that your access to the squad should begin during the 14-day cancellation period, you will be asked to:
Subscriptions will renew automatically on a monthly basis at the then-current price for that subscription, unless you cancel before the beginning of the next month. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current month; you will continue to have access until that time.
If you are a consumer (that is, you are acting for purposes wholly or mainly outside your trade, business, craft or profession), and you purchase a subscription to a squad, you may have certain rights that cannot be excluded by contract. Nothing in these terms affects those rights.
We are not responsible for, and do not endorse, support, or guarantee the appropriateness, accuracy, or reliability of, any content, other than content:
You acknowledge that by using the service you may be exposed to content that is inappropriate or otherwise objectionable and Guardians acknowledge that by approving a Minor account, they may be exposed to such content.
We may remove or refuse to display content that, in our reasonable opinion, does not comply with these terms.
If you become aware of any content that you believe breaches these terms or is otherwise inappropriate (including any CSAE or CSAM), you can report it using the in-app reporting tools or by contacting us at support@joinstriver.com. Our approach to child safety is set out in more detail on our child safety page.
We operate the service as a user-to-user service for the purposes of the Online Safety Act 2023. We will take such action in response to reports of inappropriate content as we are required to take under that act and as we otherwise consider reasonable.
If you wish to make a complaint about content, or about any action we have taken against you or your content (including a complaint that content has been wrongly removed or restricted, or that an account has been wrongly suspended or closed), you should contact us at support@joinstriver.com.
All content posted to the service is subject to moderation before it becomes visible to other users, using a combination of automated tools and human moderators, as follows:
We protect you from encountering illegal content on the service, including via the use of proactive technology, as follows:
This clause explains how we protect minors from content that is harmful to children.
We use AI-powered content moderation technology to screen all user-generated posts before they are published, so as to prevent minors of any age from encountering content which:
Age-restriction measures: a Minor account must complete age verification at registration and will not become active until it has been linked to, and approved by, a Guardian account, as described in the clause entitled Guardians and Minor accounts. The features accessible to a Minor account are automatically adjusted based on the Minor’s verified age category, and restrictions reduce as the account holder moves into an older age group.
Without limiting any other remedy available to us, we may take any or all of the following actions if we reasonably consider that you or any content for which you are responsible breaches these terms or applicable law, or that action is otherwise necessary to comply with our legal obligations or to protect the service or its users:
We will, where reasonable to do so, give you notice of the action we have taken and the reasons for it, and the opportunity to challenge that action through our complaints procedure. We are not required to give notice where to do so would, in our reasonable opinion, prejudice an investigation, expose us or any third party to legal risk, or be contrary to law.
We will report confirmed cases of CSAE or CSAM to the appropriate body (for example, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (US), Internet Watch Foundation (UK), or equivalent organisation).
If we remove content you generate, upload or share, or restrict access to it, in breach of these terms, you have the right to bring a claim against us for breach of contract. If we suspend or ban you from using the service in breach of these terms, you also have the right to bring a claim against us for breach of contract.
The service may contain links to, or otherwise interoperate with, third-party services and websites that are not operated or controlled by us, including any payment processor used by us. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse, any third-party services or websites. Your use of any third-party service or website is at your own risk and subject to the terms and policies of that third party.
We will use our reasonable commercial endeavours to make the service available, but we do not guarantee that the service will be available at all times, or be uninterrupted or error-free.
We may from time to time change, suspend or discontinue the service or part of it, including any features, functionality or content. We will give you reasonable notice of any material changes that are likely to materially adversely affect you, unless we need to act urgently to address a security, legal or other operational risk.
We may change these terms at any time, for example to reflect changes in law, in the service, or in our business practices. If we make a material change to these terms, we will give you reasonable notice (normally at least 30 days) before the change takes effect, by posting a notice on the app and/or by sending a message to the email address associated with your account. Minor changes may take effect without notice. If you do not agree with a change, you may close your account, and any linked accounts, at any time before the change takes effect; your continued use of the service after the change takes effect will be treated as your acceptance of the amended terms.
You may stop using the service and close your account, and any linked accounts, at any time through your account settings or by contacting us at support@joinstriver.com.
We may suspend or terminate your account, and your right to use the service, immediately by giving notice to you if:
On termination of your account (whether by you or by us):
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any term implied by law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited; subject to that:
Where you use the service for purposes that are wholly or mainly in the course of your trade, business, craft or profession (including as a squad owner), any rights and remedies that would otherwise apply under applicable consumer law do not apply to your use of the service.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for: (a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded; subject to that, our entire financial liability to you arising under or in connection with your use of the service is as set out below.
If you are a consumer:
If you are not a consumer (including where you use the service as a squad owner or otherwise in the course of a business), then:
You are responsible to us for any losses we suffer to the extent arising from your breach of these terms, your content, or your wrongful or unlawful use of the service.
Unless you are a consumer, you agree to indemnify us, and to keep us indemnified, against all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred by us arising out of or in connection with:
This indemnity does not apply to you if you use the service in the capacity of a consumer.
We may communicate with you through the service, by email (using the email address associated with your account) or by such other means as we reasonably consider appropriate. You are responsible for keeping your contact details up to date.
Any notice you wish to give us should be sent to support@joinstriver.com (with a copy to the address set out below in the case of legal notices).
You can make a complaint about the service, including but not limited to any of the matters listed below, using the in-app reporting tools or by contacting us at support@joinstriver.com. We aim to acknowledge complaints within 5 business days and to resolve them within 30 days (where reasonably practicable to do so), in accordance with our policies and processes for handling each type of complaint described below. You can complain about:
We will review each complaint, taking into account the nature of the complaint, and will let you know the outcome. A Guardian may make a complaint on behalf of a linked Minor account. These provisions are intended to be clear and accessible to users of any age, including children.
If you are a consumer and you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to refer the dispute to an alternative dispute resolution provider. We are not currently a member of any alternative dispute resolution scheme, but we will engage in good faith with any such provider you reasonably nominate.
If you download the app via the Apple App Store, operated by Apple Inc:
In the event of any conflict between these terms and Apple’s App Store Terms of Service, Apple’s terms will apply to the extent of the conflict as regards the distribution of the app.
If you download the app via the Google Play Store:
You must comply with any applicable third-party terms when using the service.
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under these terms. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these terms without our prior written consent.
If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, and the rest of these terms will remain in full force and effect.
No failure or delay by us in exercising any right or remedy under these terms will operate as a waiver of that right or remedy.
These terms, together with any documents expressly referred to in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and us in relation to the service and supersede any prior agreement or understanding between us in relation to the service.
Except as expressly set out in these terms, no one other than you or us has any right to enforce these terms (including under the UK Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999).
Neither party will be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent that the failure or delay is caused by events beyond that party’s reasonable control (including acts of God, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action, epidemic or pandemic, failure of the internet, or failure of third-party telecommunications networks).
These terms, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by the laws of England and Wales.
If you are a consumer, you and we agree that the courts of England and Wales will have non-exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms, except that if you live in Scotland you may also bring proceedings in Scotland, and if you live in Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland.
If you are not a consumer, you and we agree that the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction in respect of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these terms (including non-contractual disputes or claims).
