1. Agreement to these terms
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of PointsBall Academy (the “App”) and this website (together, the “Service”), operated by CORE 4 LIFE LTD (“we”, “us”, “our”).
By downloading, installing, opening, or continuing to use the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top reflects the latest version. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, except where applicable law requires explicit consent.
2. The service
PointsBall Academy is an AI-assisted table tennis training application. It helps you define training preferences, receive structured daily practice plans, run timed sessions, and obtain AI-generated feedback based on information you provide.
The Service is informational and educational in nature. It does not guarantee competitive results, ranking improvements, or injury-free practice. You remain responsible for how you train, the equipment you use, and the environment in which you play.
The App does not facilitate communication or data exchange between users. There are no community features, leaderboards tied to real identity, or peer messaging in the current product design.
3. Eligibility
You must be legally able to enter a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority, you may use the App only with permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian who accepts these Terms on your behalf.
You represent that any information you provide in onboarding or profile settings is accurate to the best of your knowledge, because training suggestions depend on it.
4. Licence to use the App
Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on Apple-branded devices that you own or control, strictly in accordance with Apple’s App Store terms and these Terms.
You may not:
- Copy, modify, or create derivative works of the App except as permitted by law
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except where prohibited restrictions are unenforceable
- Rent, lease, sublicense, or sell access to the App
- Use the App to develop a competing product through systematic scraping of content or prompts
- Circumvent security, usage limits, or payment mechanisms
5. AI-generated training content
A core feature of PointsBall Academy is content produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence supplied by a third-party service. Plans, drill suggestions, and feedback are generated algorithmically from your inputs and predefined coaching logic.
Understand the limits: AI output may be incomplete, generic, or unsuitable for your physical condition. It is not a substitute for certified coaching, medical assessment, or match officiating. Always apply your own judgment and stop training if you feel pain, dizziness, or risk of injury.
You grant us permission to transmit necessary training-related inputs to the AI provider solely to generate responses for you. That provider is contractually engaged as a processor-style partner and is not intended to collect personal data for its own unrelated purposes. Details appear in our Privacy Policy.
You agree not to submit unlawful, harassing, or third-party confidential content through AI feedback fields. You are solely responsible for text you enter.
6. Health and safety
Physical exercise carries inherent risk. Table tennis involves rapid movement, repetitive strain, and potential contact with equipment or playing surfaces. Consult a physician before beginning a new training programme if you have cardiovascular conditions, joint issues, pregnancy, or other health concerns.
Warm up appropriately, use suitable footwear, ensure adequate space around the table, and hydrate. The App’s timer and drills do not monitor your biomechanics or environment.
7. Acceptable use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful personal training purposes. You will not:
- Attempt to probe, disrupt, or overload our or our providers’ systems
- Use automated scripts to extract content at scale
- Misrepresent your identity to us in support correspondence
- Use the App in any manner that infringes intellectual property or privacy rights of others
Because users cannot exchange data with each other in the App, you are not permitted to use the Service to coordinate harassment or distribute another person’s personal data — such behaviour would violate these Terms and may violate law.
8. Third-party services
The App integrates third-party tools including:
- Singular — mobile analytics and marketing attribution
- OneSignal — optional push notifications
- AI coaching API — generation of plans and feedback
- Apple App Store — distribution, billing, and device permissions
Your use of those services may be subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party websites you reach through external links on this marketing site.
Identifiers used for analytics or push delivery are described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal data.
9. App Store purchases
If the App offers subscriptions or in-app purchases, payment is processed by Apple. Pricing, renewal, cancellation, refunds, and family sharing are governed by Apple’s policies. We do not store your payment card details.
Any free trial or promotional access will be described within the App at the time of offer and may change.
10. Intellectual property
The App, website, trademarks, logos, visual design, and underlying software are owned by CORE 4 LIFE LTD or its licensors and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
AI-generated text provided to you is licensed for your personal, non-commercial training use. You may not republish bulk generated plans as a commercial coaching product without our written permission.
11. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that AI outputs will be accurate, complete, or achieve any specific athletic outcome.
12. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CORE 4 LIFE LTD AND ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE APP IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) TEN BRITISH POUNDS (GBP 10), EXCEPT WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.
13. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time by uninstalling the App. We may suspend or discontinue features with reasonable notice where practicable.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and governing law — will survive.
14. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts in England shall have exclusive jurisdiction, except that consumers in the EU/UK may also benefit from mandatory protections of their country of residence.
If any provision is held invalid, the remaining provisions remain in effect.
