MINUTEZ LIMITED
APP TERMS OF USE
PLEASE READ THESE APP TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING OUR APP
These App Terms of Use (the “App Terms”) set out our rules and policies for using our App. By
using our App, you confirm that you accept these App Terms and that you agree to comply with
them. Accepting these App Terms creates a legally binding contract between us and you. If you do
not agree to these App Terms, you should not use our App. We may amend these App Terms from
time to time, and you should check the App periodically for changes.
If you wish to create an account and use the App as a football scout (a “Scout”) there are specific
additional terms that apply to you, which are set out in Section 9 of these App Terms.
Who we are and how to contact us
We are Minutez Limited, a company registered in England and Wales under company number
14771952. We have our registered office at 20-22 Wenlock Road, London, England, N1 7GU,
United Kingdom.
To contact us, please email contact@minutez.co.uk .
There are other terms that may apply to you
These App Terms refer to our Privacy Policy. Our Privacy Policy sets out certain information
including who we are, how we process your personal data and for what purposes and your rights in
relation to your personal data and how to exercise them, and it is important that you read that
information.
The App will be made available to you via Google Play and the App Store. The ways in which you
can use the App may also be controlled by the Google Play or the App Store (as applicable) rules
and policies.
Our services
Our services are the provision of the Minutez App where users aged 5-24 may upload video
material showcasing their football skills (“Videos”) to share with their family and friends and
members of the public, who may include football scouts (collectively “App Users”, or “you”). For
the avoidance of doubt, these App Terms also apply to users using the app in their capacity as a
football scout.
You will be able to upload Videos and they will then be visible to other users of the App. Should
you not wish to share your Videos, please delete them and do not use our App.
Our age restrictions and controls
You must be at least 16 years of age in order to create an account on the App (the “Account
Holder”). If you allow anyone under the age of 16 years (a “Minor”) to use your account, you are
responsible for monitoring and supervising the Minor’s use of the App, including any
communications with other App Users. When you set up your account, we will ask you to confirm
that you are over 16, and we may make other checks to verify your age. If you are under 16, you
will not be able to create an account.
Each Account Holder shall be responsible for setting up the appropriate controls and restrictions
within the App.
Sometimes we may reject your request to open an account on other reasonable grounds, or because
you are located in a country in which we do not provide our services. When this happens, we will
let you know whether additional information is required, or we may refund any sums you have paid.
Your credentials to log into the App
You may register to become an Account Holder using your email address or social media account.
Your social media credentials or your email address and password will be your “Login Details”.
If you forget or lose your Login Details, you should follow the account recovery procedure within
the App. You must ensure your contact details are correct and up to date to be able to receive
account recovery instructions.
Login details must be kept securely and not shared with anyone else. We can disable any Login
Details, whether chosen by you or allocated by us, at any time if, in our reasonable opinion, you
have failed to comply with these App Terms.
If you know or suspect that anyone other than you knows your user Login Details, please contact us
at contact@minutez.co.uk .
You are responsible for any activity on the App by any user who you allow to access the App, or
with whom you share, or otherwise allow to access, your Login Details. This includes any charges
to your account that any such user may incur.
Our charges
You may upload Videos to the App. The cost per Video upload or for a subscription permitting a
number of Videos in a given duration will be available on the App.
We reserve the right to amend our pricing from time to time in which case you will be notified of
this when logging into the App and/or by email. Any changes will not affect your then current
subscription but will apply to the next renewal. You can delete your profile and stop using the App
at any time.
You may delete your Video(s) at any time. You may also terminate your App usage at any time (see
section 12 below).
Your monthly subscription will automatically renew unless you notify us that you wish to cancel it.
All subscription payments will be collected in advance via the Google or Apple store (“App
Store”).
If you wish to cancel the renewal of a subscription, you can do so at any time through your Apple or
Google account (as applicable), via the “invoices” section of the App. In order for a cancellation of
a renewal to be effective, you must do so no later than 24 hours prior to the expiry of your current
subscription.
VAT may be payable for your use of the App and related services, and any VAT which may be
payable by you is included in the relevant charge.
Because the App is a digital product, if you decide to upload a Video, you cannot ask for a refund of
the amount you have paid to upload it once you have made it accessible to other users.
What to do if the App isn’t working
If access to the App is prevented for any reason, we will do what we can to reduce the delay or
disruption.
Please contact contact@minutez.co.uk if the App is not working.
Updates to the App and changes to the service
From time to time we may automatically update the App and change the Service to improve
performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to the operating system or address security
issues. Alternatively we may ask you to update the App for these reasons.

to continue using the App and the Services.

that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these terms or our failing to use reasonable care
and skill , but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or
damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time you accepted
these terms, both we and you knew it might happen.

our control.
• Avoidable. Something you could have avoided by taking reasonable action, including
following our reasonable instructions for use of our App and/or service.

Other important terms apply to the use of our App
We can transfer our contract with you, so that a different organisation is responsible for

that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.
You cannot transfer your contract with us to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or
your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree in writing.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract. This contract is between you and us. Nobody
else can enforce it and neither of us will need to ask anybody else to sign-off on ending or changing
it.
If a court invalidates some of this contract, the rest of it will still apply. If a court or other
authority decides that some of these terms are unlawful, the rest will continue to apply.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. We might not
immediately take action against you for not doing something (like paying) or for doing something
you are not allowed to, but that does not mean we cannot do it later.
