Terms of Service

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of WagOne (the "Service"), a social football prediction platform available at wagone.200boxes.com. WagOne is currently operated by its founder as an individual, as an early-stage product in limited release.

By creating an account or using the Service you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of them, you must not use the Service.

2. Definitions

• Sandbox Tokens (or "Tokens") — the free, internal units used to enter and settle games. They are not money, not a financial instrument, and not convertible into anything of value.
• Sandbox Mode — the only mode of play currently offered, in which all games are played with Sandbox Tokens.
• Live Mode — the planned real-money mode described in section 6. Not currently available.
• League Game — a prediction contest over the fixtures of a single competition matchday, open to multiple players, settled against the published results.
• Quick Game — a one-against-one challenge between two players that resolves as soon as it is accepted.
• Squad — a persistent group of players who can share games with one another.
• Platform Fee — the fee described in section 8, charged in Sandbox Tokens on certain games.
• WagOne tag — your unique public identifier on the Service.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement to use the Service. By using WagOne you represent that you meet these requirements.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is lawful where you are. Access may be restricted or withdrawn in any jurisdiction, at any time, including where we determine that offering the Service there would require an authorisation we do not hold.

We may require verification of your age or identity at any time, and may suspend access to an account pending that verification.

4. Your account

You register with an email address and a password, which is currently the only sign-in method. You are responsible for keeping your password confidential, for maintaining access to your registered email address (it is how account recovery works), and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Accounts are personal and are limited to one per person. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date. Your WagOne tag is permanent by default and cannot be changed once set, unless we enable tag changes for all users; your display name can be changed subject to a rate limit.

Tell us promptly at the address in section 17 if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorisation.

5. Sandbox Mode and Sandbox Tokens

All play on WagOne today is Sandbox play. Sandbox Tokens are issued free of charge: a starting balance on registration, and a periodic top-up to eligible accounts. The amounts are set by us and may change.

Sandbox Tokens have no monetary value. They cannot be purchased, sold, redeemed, withdrawn, exchanged for cash, goods, prizes or any other benefit, or transferred to anyone outside the Service. Winning a game changes only your Token balance within WagOne. Tokens confer no ownership right, and we may adjust, correct, re-issue or discontinue them at any time, including to fix an error or to reverse activity that breaches section 9.

Your Token balance is the running total of a permanent, append-only record of every grant, entry, settlement and transfer on your account. Individual entries in that record are never edited or deleted; a correction is made by posting an offsetting entry.

6. Live Mode — not currently available

We intend to introduce a real-money mode in which players can deposit funds, enter games for real stakes and withdraw winnings. The purpose of this section is to set out, in advance, the terms that will apply. Live Mode is not available today. No real-money play, deposit or withdrawal is offered or enabled anywhere in the Service, and WagOne does not currently hold a gaming licence in any jurisdiction.

Licensing. Following the judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria of 22 November 2024, which held that the regulation of lotteries and gaming falls to the States rather than the Federal Government, real-money gaming in Nigeria is licensed on a state-by-state basis. Live Mode will not be made available to players in any state until we hold the authorisation that state requires, and will be offered only in those states. We make no representation that any such licence will be granted or that Live Mode will launch at all.

Terms that will apply when it does. Before Live Mode opens we will publish additional terms specific to it, and you will be asked to accept them separately. Those terms will cover at least:

• Identity verification. Live Mode will require verification of your identity, age and address before you can deposit, stake or withdraw. Accounts that cannot be verified will not be able to participate.
• Deposits and withdrawals. Real-money balances will be held and accounted for separately from Sandbox Tokens. Sandbox Tokens will never be convertible into a real-money balance in either direction.
• Responsible gaming. Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-out and self-exclusion will be available, and self-exclusion will be honoured for its full duration.
• Dispute resolution. A documented complaints procedure, and the escalation route required by the licensing regulator.

Nothing in this section is an offer of real-money gaming, and nothing in the Service should be read as indicating that Live Mode is open.

7. Games, results and settlement

League Games are built on real football fixtures. Fixture lists, kick-off times, statuses and final scores are supplied by a third-party data provider (football-data.org) and are synchronised automatically. Each matchday has a published prediction deadline, after which predictions are locked and cannot be changed.

Results are settled automatically once every fixture in the matchday has finished, been cancelled or been voided. Automatically sourced results are held for a short confirmation window before settlement so that an obviously incorrect score can be corrected first. We may enter or correct a result manually where the data provider is unavailable, delayed or wrong, and we may void a fixture that is postponed or abandoned and never resolves; a voided fixture scores zero for every player alike.

A League Game that does not reach the minimum number of players required for its prize structure by its deadline is voided, and every entry and fee is refunded in full. Quick Games that are never accepted expire and are refunded.

We may correct a settlement that was made in error. Where a correction is made, the position is restored as closely as is practicable to what it would have been had the error not occurred.

8. Platform fees

A Platform Fee may be charged in Sandbox Tokens when you enter a public game. The fee is a percentage of the entry amount, is set by us and may change. Where a fee applies it is shown together with the entry amount before you commit, so you always see the total before joining.

Private League Games and private Quick Games are not charged a Platform Fee. Where a game is voided and refunded, the Platform Fee actually collected is refunded with the entry. Fees are not otherwise refundable once a game has been played.

9. Fair play and acceptable use

You must not:

• open or control more than one account, or play against yourself through a second account or an account controlled by someone acting with you;
• exploit a bug, error or mispricing rather than reporting it, or take any action intended to manipulate the outcome, standings or Token balances of a game;
• use automated means to access, scrape or interact with the Service, or attempt to interfere with its security or availability;
• harass, abuse, impersonate or threaten another player, or use a display name, tag, squad name or image that is unlawful, obscene or deceptive;
• use the Service for any unlawful purpose.

We run automated checks for signals associated with self-play and collusion. These checks flag activity for review; they do not by themselves determine that a breach has occurred.

10. Suspension, restriction and closure

We may restrict, suspend or close an account where we reasonably believe these Terms have been breached, where required by law, or to protect the integrity of the Service or its players.

A restriction applies going forward: it prevents the account from creating or joining new games. It does not by itself unwind, reverse or void games that have already been settled. Where activity in breach of section 9 has affected a settled game, we may in addition reverse or adjust the Tokens involved, acting proportionately and recording the reason.

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at the address in section 17. Closing an account does not delete the permanent transaction record described in section 5; see our Privacy Policy for what that means for deletion requests.

11. Availability and changes to the Service

WagOne is an early-stage product under active development. Features may change, be added, be removed or behave unexpectedly, and the Service may be unavailable for maintenance or for reasons outside our control.

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including as to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, uninterrupted availability, or the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of fixture and result data supplied by third parties.

12. Intellectual property

The Service, including its name, logo, design, text and software, belongs to us or to our licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property law. You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service in accordance with these Terms, and nothing more.

You retain ownership of content you upload, such as a profile photo, and grant us a licence to host and display it within the Service for the purpose of operating it. You must not upload content you do not have the right to use.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, nor for loss of profit, goodwill, opportunity or data, however arising. Because Sandbox Tokens have no monetary value, no claim may be founded on the value of a Token balance, on Tokens lost, withheld or adjusted, or on the outcome of a Sandbox game.

Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Service and these Terms is limited to the greater of the total amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, or NGN 10,000.

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms or your unlawful use of the Service.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service develops or as the law requires. The date at the top of this page shows when they were last revised. Where a change materially affects your rights we will give reasonable notice through the Service. Continuing to use WagOne after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not, you should stop using the Service and may close your account.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim. Before bringing a claim, please contact us at the address in section 17 so that we can try to resolve the matter directly; most issues are resolved this way.

16. General

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent; we may transfer ours in connection with a reorganisation or transfer of the Service, provided your rights are not adversely affected.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms, account closure requests and complaints should be sent to bzzroptions@gmail.com. We aim to respond within a reasonable period.
