Terms and Conditions

1. Who we are

The Game is provided by Moneberge OÜ, a private limited company registered in Estonia ("we", "us").

• Registry code: 14716340
• Registered address: Andrekse tee 41-2, Tallinn, Estonia
• Support: support@matchday.fm
• Privacy: privacy@matchday.fm

2. Accounts

2.1 Who can play

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. If you are under 18, or under the age of majority where you live, you may only make purchases with the permission of a parent or guardian, who accepts these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for purchases made on the account.

2.2 Your account

• Give accurate information when registering and keep your email address up to date.
• Keep your login details secure. You are responsible for activity on your account unless it results from our failure to protect it.
• One account per person. Accounts are personal and may not be sold, transferred, shared or rented.
• Tell us immediately at the support address if you suspect unauthorised access.

2.3 Manager and club names

Your manager name and club name may be visible to other players. They must not be offensive, impersonate another person, or infringe anyone's rights (including trademarks of real clubs, brands or competitions). We may rename or reset names that break this rule.

3. The Game

The Game is free to play. The core game, including single-player mode and, once available, participation in multiplayer mode, is available without payment. Optional paid features are offered through the Manager+ subscription and MD Coins (sections 4 and 5).

All players, clubs, staff and competitions in the Game are fictional. Any resemblance to real persons is coincidental. Matchday is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any real football club, league, federation or player.

Match results are produced by the Game's match engine from the squads, tactics and decisions in play. In-game currencies, finances, players, trophies and other game items have no real-world value (see section 6).

4. Manager+ subscription

4.1 What you get

Manager+ is an optional paid subscription that unlocks additional features, as described on the Manager+ page in the Game at the time of purchase. Currently this includes, among other things, additional independent careers and a monthly MD Coin allowance of 10 MD Coins, which rolls over up to 50 subscription MD Coins. Manager+ members may also buy up to 3 extra career places for 50 MD Coins each.

4.2 Price and billing

• Manager+ costs €5.90 per month or €49.90 per year, unless a different price is shown to you at checkout. Both plans include 10 MD Coins each month, with a 50-MD Coin cap on accumulated subscription MD Coins; purchased MD Coins are separate. Prices shown include VAT where applicable.
• The subscription is billed in advance and renews automatically every month or year, according to the selected plan, until you cancel.
• Payment is taken on the start date and on the same date each following billing period by our payment processor, Stripe.
• If a payment fails, we may retry it. If it still fails, Manager+ features will end at the close of the paid period.

4.3 Cancelling

You can cancel at any time on the Manager+ page in the Game, which opens the Stripe customer portal. Cancellation stops the next renewal. You keep Manager+ until the end of the period you have already paid for, and we do not refund part-months except where section 7 or mandatory law requires it.

4.4 When Manager+ ends

When your subscription ends, Manager+ features stop. Your data is not deleted: additional careers become read-only and become playable again if you re-subscribe. Extra career places bought with MD Coins are kept but paused until you re-subscribe. MD Coins you received as part of the monthly allowance remain in your wallet.

4.5 Price changes

We may change the Manager+ price for a legitimate reason, such as changes in costs, taxes or the features offered. We will tell you by email and in the Game at least 30 days before the new price applies to you. If you do not agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect. The new price applies from your first renewal after the notice period.

5. MD Coins

MD Coins are an in-game item used to unlock certain optional features, such as stadium renders. You can receive MD Coins through the Manager+ monthly allowance, buy them in MD Coin packs, or earn them by winning official Matchday competitions where offered.

• MD Coins have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for money, transferred to another account, or sold. You receive a limited licence to use them in the Game, not ownership.
• Purchased MD Coins do not expire while your account remains active.
• What a MD Coin can be used for, and how many are needed, is shown in the Game before you spend it. Once spent, MD Coins are not returned, except if the feature was not delivered because of a fault on our side.
• MD Coins obtained through cheating, errors, chargebacks or other abuse may be removed.
• Unused purchased MD Coins are not refunded when you close your account, except as required by law or section 12.

6. Game items and virtual currency

In-game money, players, clubs, trophies and other items exist only in the Game. They are not your property, have no monetary value, and cannot be sold or traded for anything of real value, inside or outside the Game. We may adjust in-game values, balances and game mechanics as part of normal game development and balancing.

7. Your right of withdrawal (EU and UK consumers)

As a consumer in the EU or the UK you normally have a right to withdraw from an online purchase within 14 days without giving a reason. Here is how it applies to Matchday:

To withdraw, use the billing portal on the Manager+ page or send a clear statement to support@matchday.fm, for example: "I withdraw from my Manager+ subscription purchased on [date], account email [email]." We refund within 14 days of receiving your notice, using the payment method you used for the purchase.

8. Payments, VAT and chargebacks

• Payments are processed by Stripe. Your card details are handled by Stripe and are subject to its terms and privacy policy; we never see your full card number.
• Prices include VAT at the rate of your country, based on your billing and location information. You must give accurate billing information.
• We send a receipt by email for every payment.
• If you believe a charge is wrong, please contact us first; most problems can be solved quickly. If you start a chargeback for a valid charge, we may suspend paid features or the account until it is resolved.
• Purchases in future native mobile apps may be processed by the app store and follow the app store's payment and refund rules.

9. Rules of play

Multiplayer mode and competitions are shared with other players, so fair play matters. You must not:

• create or control more than one account, or use additional accounts to gain an advantage (for example, feeding players or money between clubs);
• use bots, scripts, automation, modified clients or any tool that interacts with the Game other than through its normal interface;
• exploit bugs or errors instead of reporting them, or attempt to access data, accounts or systems you are not authorised to access;
• scrape, copy, reverse-engineer or overload the Game or its infrastructure, except as permitted by mandatory law;
• fix, arrange or manipulate matches, transfers or competition outcomes with other players;
• sell, buy or trade accounts, clubs, MD Coins or game items for real money or anything of value outside the Game;
• harass, threaten, abuse or discriminate against other players, or post content that is illegal, hateful, sexual, or infringes someone else's rights;
• advertise, spam or phish, or impersonate us or other people.

If you break these rules, we may take proportionate action: a warning, removing gains obtained unfairly, resetting or excluding a club from a competition, temporary suspension, or, for serious or repeated breaches, closing the account (see section 12).

Reporting

You can report players, content or bugs by emailing support@matchday.fm. We review reports in good faith and tell the reporter of our decision where appropriate. If we restrict your account or remove your content, we will tell you the reason and how to contest it.

10. Your content

You keep ownership of content you create, such as club names, crests you upload, and messages ("Your Content"). You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display and use Your Content to operate and promote the Game (for example, showing league tables with your club name), for as long as it remains in the Game. You confirm that you have the rights to Your Content and that it complies with section 9. We may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law.

Stadium renders and other content generated for you in the Game are provided for your personal, non-commercial use, including sharing on social media.

11. Our rights

The Game, including its software, match engine, design, graphics, text, player data and the Matchday name and logo, belongs to Moneberge OÜ or its licensors. We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Game for your own non-commercial entertainment in line with these Terms. No other rights are granted.

If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them freely without owing you anything.

12. Ending the contract

12.1 By you

You can stop playing at any time and delete your account by emailing privacy@matchday.fm — we delete it within 30 days (see the Privacy Policy). Deleting your account permanently removes your clubs, progress and remaining MD Coins, and cancels any active subscription at the end of the paid period.

12.2 By us

• We may suspend or close your account for a serious or repeated breach of these Terms, fraud, or where required by law. We will explain why, unless the law prevents it.
• If we close your account without a breach on your part, or if we shut down the Game, we will give at least 30 days' notice where possible and refund unused prepaid Manager+ time and unused purchased MD Coins on a pro-rata basis.
• If we close your account because of your serious breach, you are not entitled to a refund of MD Coins or subscription time, unless mandatory law says otherwise.
• We may delete inactive free accounts as described in the Privacy Policy, after notice by email.

13. Changes to the Game

Matchday is a live game and will keep changing: we add, adjust, rebalance and sometimes remove features and game mechanics. For paid features, we only make changes for valid reasons (for example, game balance, new features, security, technical or legal requirements), at no extra cost to you, and we tell you about them clearly.

If a change to a paid feature affects your access or use more than in a minor way, we will tell you at least 30 days in advance, and you may end your subscription free of charge within 30 days of the change, with a refund of any prepaid period you have not yet used.

14. Availability and quality

We work to keep the Game running and free of errors, but it may occasionally be unavailable for maintenance, updates or reasons beyond our control. Paid features must match their description and be fit for purpose, as required by EU law on digital content and services. If a paid feature does not work as described, contact us: we will fix it within a reasonable time, and if we cannot, you may be entitled to a price reduction or to end the contract and receive a refund.

We cannot guarantee that saved data will never be lost, and we keep regular backups to reduce that risk. If paid items or progress are lost because of a fault on our side, we will restore them or offer a fair replacement.

15. Liability

• We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breach of these Terms or our negligence.
• We are not responsible for loss that was not foreseeable, for business losses (the Game is for personal, non-commercial use), or for loss caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Except as set out in the next point, our total liability to you is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or €50.
• Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for intent or gross negligence, for fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

16. Complaints and disputes

If you are unhappy, please contact support@matchday.fm first. We aim to reply within 15 days.

If we cannot resolve it, consumers may turn to the Consumer Disputes Committee (Tarbijavaidluste komisjon) of the Estonian Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority, www.ttja.ee, or, for consumers in other EU countries, the European Consumer Centre network (www.consumer.ee for Estonia).

17. Governing law and courts

These Terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Estonia. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence or in Estonia. Any court proceedings we bring against a consumer will be brought in the consumer's country of residence.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms, for example to reflect new features, legal requirements or payment options. We will tell you about material changes by email or in the Game at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not agree, you may cancel your subscription or close your account before the change takes effect; continuing to use the Game afterwards means you accept the updated Terms. Changes do not apply retroactively to purchases already made.

19. General

• If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in force.
• If we do not enforce a right straight away, we do not waive it.
• We may transfer this contract to another company that takes over the Game; this will not reduce your rights. You may not transfer your rights under these Terms.
• These Terms are available in English. If any translation is published, the English version prevails to the extent permitted by law.
