TERMS OF SERVICE
Last updated: May 2026 · Effective: May 2026
By downloading or using FanCast Arena, you agree to these terms. Please read them — they're written in plain English.
1. ABOUT FANCAST ARENA
FanCast Arena is a fantasy draft game for reality TV fans. It is an independent fan product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially connected to ITV, Love Island, or any reality TV production company. Use of contestant names and likenesses is for fan game purposes only, consistent with fantasy sports fair use principles.
2. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 17 years old to use FanCast Arena. By using the app, you confirm you meet this requirement. If we discover an account belongs to someone under 17, we will delete it.
3. YOUR ACCOUNT
To use FanCast Arena you must sign in with an Apple or Google account. You are responsible for:
- Keeping your account secure
- Any activity that occurs under your account
- Choosing an appropriate display name (see Community Rules below)
4. COMMUNITY RULES & ZERO TOLERANCE FOR OBJECTIONABLE CONTENT
FanCast Arena has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behaviour. By creating an account you agree to this policy. When interacting with other users (league chat, display names, league names, and any other user-generated content), you must not:
- Use offensive, hateful, harassing, or discriminatory language
- Harass, bully, threaten, or intimidate other users
- Post sexual, explicit, violent, or otherwise objectionable content
- Share personal information about other users
- Impersonate other people or organisations
- Post spam or promotional content
Reporting and blocking
Every user can help keep the community safe:
- Filtering: messages are automatically screened for objectionable content before they are posted.
- Report: you can flag and report any message you find objectionable, directly from the chat.
- Block: you can block any user at any time. A blocked user's content is hidden from you immediately, and the block also alerts our moderation team.
Our commitment
We review reported and flagged content and act on objectionable content and abusive users within 24 hours — removing the offending content and removing or suspending the offending user as appropriate. Depending on severity, violations may result in temporary suspension of messaging, a temporary account lock, or permanent removal of your account. There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users on FanCast Arena.
5. IN-APP PURCHASES (BUDGET PACKS)
FanCast Arena offers optional in-app purchases ("Budget Packs") via the App Store. Budget Packs are consumable items that add virtual currency (VC) to your in-game trading budget. By making an in-app purchase:
- All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store — we never see or store your payment details
- Budget Packs are consumable and non-refundable once redeemed in-app, except where required by applicable law
- Refund requests must be made directly to Apple via reportaproblem.apple.com
- Virtual currency (VC) has no real-world cash value and cannot be transferred or exchanged for real money
- We reserve the right to change the price or availability of Budget Packs with reasonable notice
- If FanCast Arena is discontinued, any unused VC will have no further value — we are not liable for this
6. GAME INTEGRITY
FanCast Arena is a game of skill and knowledge. You agree not to:
- Use bots, scripts, or automated tools to interact with the app
- Exploit bugs or glitches for competitive advantage
- Create multiple accounts to manipulate league standings
- Share or sell league access in exchange for payment
We reserve the right to adjust scores or disqualify accounts found to be cheating.
7. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
The FanCast Arena name, logo, app design, and original content are owned by us. You may not reproduce, copy, or redistribute any part of the app without permission. Fan content you create (team names, league names) remains yours.
8. DISCLAIMERS
FanCast Arena is provided "as is". We do our best to keep scores accurate and the app running, but we cannot guarantee:
- 100% uptime or availability
- Perfect accuracy of game events or scores
- Uninterrupted access to any feature or in-app item
We are not liable for any losses arising from your use of the app, including incorrect scores or missed episode events.
9. CHANGES TO THE SERVICE
We may update, change, or discontinue features at any time. We'll do our best to give advance notice for significant changes. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated terms.
10. GOVERNING LAW
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.
11. RIGHTS HOLDERS & TAKEDOWN REQUESTS
FanCast Arena uses contestant names, public-record information, and avatars in a fantasy-game context, consistent with fair use and fantasy sports precedent. We do not host or distribute copyrighted video, audio, or photography from any production.
If you are a rights holder (network, production company, or an individual whose name or likeness is referenced) and you believe content within FanCast Arena infringes your rights, please contact us at fancastarena@gmail.com with the subject line "Takedown Request". Include:
- Your contact details and the right(s) you hold
- A description of the content you believe to be infringing
- Where in the app or on this website it appears
- A statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorised
We aim to respond to takedown requests within 5 business days. We may remove or modify the content while we investigate.
