1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using worldcupsim2026.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site.

2. Description of Service

worldcupsim2026.com is a free, independent, fan-made web application that allows users to simulate and predict matches of the FIFA World Cup 2026. The Site is provided for entertainment and educational purposes only. Predictions made on the Site have no official standing and do not affect the actual tournament in any way.

3. No Affiliation with FIFA

This website is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to FIFA, the FIFA World Cup 2026™, CONCACAF, the United States Soccer Federation, the Canadian Soccer Association, the Mexican Football Federation, or any other national football association or governing body. All team names, country names, venue names, and tournament-related terminology are used for informational and editorial purposes under fair use. All trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

4. No Gambling or Betting

The Site is strictly a prediction and entertainment tool. We do not facilitate, encourage, or accept wagers or bets of any kind. We do not award prizes, cash, or anything of monetary value based on predictions. Users must be aware that real-money betting on sporting events is regulated differently in each jurisdiction and is the sole responsibility of the user.

5. User Conduct

When using the Site, you agree not to:

6. Intellectual Property

The layout, design, code, graphics, illustrations, and original written content of the Site (excluding third-party assets and team/tournament trademarks) are owned by the Site operator. You may share links to the Site freely, but reproduction of substantial portions of our content requires prior written permission.

7. User-Generated Content

All simulation results, bracket predictions, and match scores you enter are stored locally in your browser and are not transmitted to or stored on our servers. When you use the "Share" feature, you are voluntarily transmitting that content to a third-party platform (e.g. Twitter/X) and accept that platform's terms of service.

8. Third-Party Services and Advertising

The Site uses third-party services including Google AdSense (for advertising), Google Analytics (for traffic analytics), and Cloudflare (for hosting and security). These services may collect data as described in our Privacy Policy. Advertisements displayed on the Site are served by Google AdSense and are not endorsed or selected by us. We are not responsible for the content of third-party advertisements or external links.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Site is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components. Team strength ratings and simulation outcomes are estimates for entertainment only — they are not predictions of actual match results and should not be relied upon for any decision-making purpose.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Site operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Site, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or business interruption.

11. Children's Use

The Site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information should contact us immediately.

12. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes become effective when posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

13. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the Site, without notice, for users who violate these Terms or engage in conduct that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be harmful to the Site or other users.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable in the operator's jurisdiction, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from these Terms or use of the Site will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
