LEBOM: Terms and Conditions

PLEASE READ THESE LICENCE TERMS CAREFULLY

BY TICKING THE CHECK BOX ON SIGNUP TO THE LEBOM APP YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS WHICH WILL BIND YOU. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR APP.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES

LEBOM Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) of 5th Floor, Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London, England, WC2E 7HA. license you to use our LEBOM mobile application software (“App”) and any updates or supplements to it as permitted in these terms.

YOUR RIGHT TO USE THE APP

In return for your agreeing to comply with these terms you may:

download a copy of the App onto your compatible mobile device and view, use and display the App on such devices for your personal purposes only.
use any related online documentation (“Documentation”) to support your permitted use of the App.
receive and use any free supplementary software code or update of the App incorporating "patches" and corrections of errors as we may provide to you.

REGISTERING WITH US

To start using the App, you must create an account with us by completing and submitting to us the information required at the time of registration (“Account”). By registering with us, you promise that the information provided to us is truthful, accurate and error free. Please note:

you must notify us in the event any of your details change.
you are only permitted to open one Account in your name.
you must keep any username or password associated with your Account confidential and secure.
you shall notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any security breach or unauthorised use of your Account.
your Account is personal to you and no one other than you may access your Account or otherwise use the App on your behalf.

As the App is a betting platform we will conduct checks to verify that you are not under age. You will not participate until we are satisfied as to your bona fides and age. We also participate with GamStop.

The App allows users who are members of the same Team (defined later) to communicate with each other. You and all other users agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. If you are in breach of this policy you will be expelled and unable to re-register.

You can terminate your account at anytime. Termination will be immediate and you will not participate in any Game in which you have paid a wager which will occur subsequently. You will exit every Team and we will return the balance of your Digital Wallet to you.

We can terminate your account without notice if:

there are insufficient number of users in a Team; or
you breach the Acceptable Use Policy.

Other than that if we give you not less than three months’ notice.

RULES ON USE OF THE APP

The App is a peer to peer betting platform that facilitates the placing of wagers/bets by you and other registered users of the App against results from professional sport matches (“Event”). We are the platform provider and are not a participant in any wagers made through the App.

We select the Events that you can wager against through the App. Selection of Events is made entirely at our discretion. All wagers are subject to the rules applicable to the Event. The result of the Event will be determined on the day of its conclusion for betting purposes, subject to confirmation by the relevant sport's governing body. English Premier League results will be provided by OPTA. Any subsequent enquiry that may result in an overturned decision will not be recognised by us, and original settlement of wagers will stand. So you can better understand our position here for us to have to reverse the transactions and ask users to reimburse winnings will be administratively challenging and our Game Fee (defined later) has been calculated on the basis that results are not reversed.

Once you have registered with us, you may invite other App users from your contacts list, social media or other mechanism offered through the App from time to time to form a group (“Team”). Each Team will have a designated “Team Captain”. If you are a Team Captain, you set the stake in relation to a selected Event and make your predictions. We reserve the right to place limits on the number of members in a Team.

There will be a maximum limit for each stake. We will update you accordingly.

Once the Team Captain has set the stake for an Event and made predictions, remaining Team members can place wagers in relation to Events. All wagers must match the Team Captain’s stake. If you are not the Team Captain, you will be invited to place your wager and make your predictions in respect of the selected Event and submit them to the App, although you have no obligation to do so. Each participating member of the Team must wager the same amount on the selected Event. For a “Game” to commence, at least two members of the Team (to always include the Team Captain) must have placed a wager and their predictions in relation to the selected Event. Wagers cannot be withdrawn or refunded once placed and no changes can be made to your predictions once submitted.

Wagers are placed at your own risk and discretion. The amount of any wager you place will be subject to any maximum wager amounts in force from time to time, as advised to you through the App. All wagers and predictions must be placed prior to the commencement of an Event. If you have opted to participate in a Game and have failed to place a wager or make predictions prior to the start of an Event, your participation in the Game will be voided and your wager returned to you.

The App operates a scoring system in relation to your predictions made for an Event. You will be awarded points for correctly predicting scores and/or results in relation to an Event. Winners of each Game are determined according to the member of the Team with the highest score at the end of the Event. In the event of a tie, winnings will be shared evenly.

WAGERS AND WINNINGS

In order to place your wager through the App, you are required to open a “Digital Wallet”. This facility will be provided by a third party. As stated in more detail below we will have no access or recourse to the balance in your Digital Wallet. The third party will provide these banking facilities and our only interaction with your Digital Wallet will be to inform you of your balance and to arrange the payment of winnings.

The Digital Wallet can never be overdrawn and if you have insufficient monies in your Digital Wallet to pay a wager you will not be able to participate. Ensuring that there is sufficient credit to play is your responsibility.

In order for you to deposit monies in your Digital Wallet we will register a debit card to your Account. The card you use for your deposit will become the registered card for your Account and will be used for future deposits and repayment of any credit balance. Subsequent deposits will require you to only enter the amount you wish to place and the same card registered to your Account will be used to take the payment. You may change your payment method in the future.

We use third party payment service providers to store your card details and process payment made through the App.

If you win a Game, we will pay you the total wagers placed in the Game by you and your other participating Team members (“Winnings”), less our Game fee (“Game Fee”) into your Digital Wallet. The Game Fee (currently 10%) will be deducted from your Winnings, so the amount credited to your Digital Wallet will be less than the total Winnings collected from you and your participating Team members.

If you wish to withdraw the balance of your Digital Wallet (namely unused deposits and/or Winnings) then on written instructions and subject to the below we will initiate repayment. Please note:

any Winnings will be paid less our non-refundable Game Fee and any taxes in respect of the Game Fee;
we will endeavour to return these monies to you within three working days of receipt of your request but this will not always be possible. The time it takes for you to receive the balance may vary depending on our method of payment;
there will be a daily maximum for withdrawals that we will advise you of;
the monies can only be paid to you using the registered card.

We may change your Game Fee at any time on the provision of notice to you in writing, by email or through your use of the App, save that no changes to our Game Fee will be applied in respect of a Game in progress at the time the change takes effect. Your continued use of the App following notice of such change shall be deemed to be your acceptance of the new Game Fee. If you do not agree with the changes to the Game Fee, we advise against any further placing of wagers through the App.

We are required by our Gambling Commission of Great Britain licence to inform you about what happens to funds which we hold on account for you, and the extent to which funds are protected in the event of our insolvency. Details regarding the protection of customer funds can be found on the Gambling Commission of Great Britain website: https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/for-the-public/Your-rights/Protection-of-customer-funds.aspx.

We have arrangements to make sure your funds in separate accounts from company funds are repaid to you in the unlikely event of our insolvency. This meets the Gambling Commission’s requirements for the segregation of Customer funds at the level: medium protection.

ACCESS TO THE APP

We aim to make the App available to you at all times, but we cannot guarantee that the App will be uninterrupted or fault free. Routine and essential maintenance and upgrades may be required from time to time to improve, add functions or restore the App.

YOUR PRIVACY

We only use any personal data we collect through your use of the App in the ways set out in our privacy policy.

Please be aware that internet transmissions are never completely private or secure and that any message or information you send using the App may be read or intercepted by others, even if there is a special notice that a particular transmission is encrypted.

APPLE’S AND GOOGLE’S TERMS ALSO APPLY

The ways in which you can use the App and Documentation may also be controlled by the AppStore’s and Google Play’s rules and policies and such rules and policies will apply instead of these terms where there are differences between the two.

You promise to us that:

you are not located in a country that is subject to a US Government embargo or that has been designated by the US Government as a ‘terrorist supporting’ country; and

these terms are concluded between you and us and accordingly Apple is not a party to these terms;
Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance and support services in respect of the App;
if the App fails to conform to any warranty herein, you may notify Apple following which Apple will refund you the purchase price paid for the App (if any). Apple will have no further liability whatsoever in respect of any such failure;
Apple has no responsibility to address any claims by you or any third party whatsoever with respect to the App including but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the App fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy, or similar legislation, including in connection with the App’s use of the HealthKit and HomeKit frameworks;
Apple shall not be responsible for any claims made by any third party that the App infringes any third party intellectual property rights; and

Verifying your age and identity is a requirement under the Gambling Commission of Great Britain’s licensing conditions. Before you place your first wager, we run checks to verify your name, age and address. Therefore, in accordance with the legislation laid out by the Gambling Commission of Great Britain, and in order to comply with UK laws, you need to provide us with the information specified in these terms. We may use and retain the information you have given us, or we already hold about you, or which we receive from any enquiry we may make with agencies to confirm your identity. The process enables us to open accounts quickly whilst verifying your age and identity and assists in fraud prevention. We will check any details you disclose against any databases (public or private) to which we have access and will keep a record of that check.

Where verification checks against the databases of accredited third-party providers fail to provide sufficient results or return no results, we may ask you to provide documents to prove your identity and/or address before we can allow you to use the App.

YOU MAY NOT TRANSFER THE APP TO SOMEONE ELSE

We are giving you personally the right to use the App as set out above. You may not otherwise transfer the App to someone else, whether for money, for anything else or for free. If you sell any device on which the App is installed, you must remove the App from it.
