The rules for using Next Round and running tournaments on the app.

Overview

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of Next Round, including the app, public website, tournament links, communities, fixtures, standings, match chat, notifications, and related support channels.

By using Next Round, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app or website.

Who can use Next Round

You must be able to form a binding agreement under the laws that apply to you. Next Round is not directed to children under 13. If you use Next Round on behalf of a team, club, community, organization, or event, you confirm that you have authority to do so.

Accounts

You are responsible for the information you provide, the security of your account, and activity that happens through your account. Keep your sign-in details secure and contact support if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

Tournaments and communities

Next Round provides tools for creating, joining, managing, and following tournaments and communities. Organizers are responsible for tournament rules, eligibility, scheduling decisions, result handling, dispute handling, prize rules, and participant communication unless Next Round states otherwise.

Do not use Next Round to run betting, gambling, unlawful prize activity, or other regulated activity unless you are legally permitted to do so and Next Round has expressly allowed that use.

User content

You may submit or upload profile information, tournament details, team names, community content, images, match results, and chat messages. You keep ownership of content you provide, but you grant Next Round the rights needed to host, display, process, transmit, moderate, and operate that content as part of the app and related services.

Do not submit content that is unlawful, abusive, harassing, misleading, infringing, harmful, or intended to disrupt tournaments, communities, or other users.

Match chat and conduct

Match chat and community features are intended for tournament coordination. Do not use them for abuse, threats, hate, spam, impersonation, scams, or attempts to collect sensitive information from other users.

Linked accounts and third-party services

Next Round may allow you to connect third-party accounts, such as Apple, Google, Discord, Twitch, YouTube, PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam. Those services are operated by their own providers and may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

App stores and platform terms

If you download or access Next Round through Apple App Store, Google Play, or another platform, that platform's terms may also apply. Those terms can govern matters such as app licensing, downloads, updates, payments, refunds, and device usage.

You must not:

• break the law or violate another person's rights
• interfere with the operation, security, or availability of Next Round
• attempt to access accounts, systems, or data without permission

• upload malware, spam, deceptive content, or harmful automation

Availability and changes

Next Round may change, pause, or remove features as the app develops, including before and after public release. The service may be unavailable at times because of maintenance, outages, testing, or issues outside Next Round's control.

Moderation and enforcement

Next Round may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, disable tournament access, or take other action if activity appears to violate these terms, harm users, create security risk, or create legal or operational risk.

Account deletion

You can request account deletion in the app. Open Profile, go to settings, and choose Delete account. Some operational, legal, safety, or abuse-prevention records may be retained where needed.

Intellectual property

Next Round, including its name, app design, software, branding, and site materials, is owned by Next Round or its licensors. These terms do not grant you ownership of Next Round's software, trademarks, or brand materials.
