Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of Tactical Soccer (the "Service"), operated by Tactical Soccer. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility & your account

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country, if higher) to use the Service. You agree to provide accurate registration details, to keep your login credentials confidential, and you are responsible for all activity that takes place under your account.

A new account must be activated through the link in the welcome email before you can log in. To protect accounts, repeated failed log-in attempts temporarily block further attempts.

Notify us immediately if you believe your account has been used without your permission. We are not liable for losses caused by unauthorised use of your account where you failed to keep your credentials secure.

2. The Service

Tactical Soccer is a free online football-manager game. You can build and manage clubs, set tactics, trade players on the transfer market and create or join leagues — your own leagues, played against AI clubs, with friends or with other managers, and the official leagues and European competitions run by us. The core game is free to play.

We run the official leagues and the European competitions: we schedule them, play their seasons and set their rules, and you can manage one club in the official leagues at a time. Seasons move on automatically — players age, develop and retire — and match results are simulated by the game from squad strength and tactics, with an element of chance.

The manager who creates a league owns it and decides its settings. If you close your account, or your VIP ends while you own more leagues than your allowance, a league that other managers play in is handed over: one of them can take it over, and if nobody does within 7 days it passes to Tactical Soccer.

3. VIP contracts, boosts & payments

VIP is an optional paid contract that unlocks extra features — running up to six leagues at once instead of three, plus a VIP badge. A contract runs for a fixed length (three, six, nine or twelve months) and never renews automatically; buying another while you are VIP adds its time to the end of your current contract. When VIP ends you have 3 days to renew or to choose which of your leagues to keep within the allowance of three. Leagues beyond it are then offered to the other managers in them for 7 days, and a league nobody claims passes to Tactical Soccer. A league nobody else plays in is deleted, together with the clubs in it. You are notified before any of this happens.

Boosts are optional one-off purchases that help a club you manage in one of your own leagues — for example a player's skill, fitness or morale, or a new academy prospect. They cannot be used in the official leagues or the European competitions. A boost is applied as soon as your payment is confirmed. There is no limit on how many you buy, but no player can be raised beyond their natural ceiling. If a boost can no longer be applied when the payment arrives — for example because the player has left your club — the order is put on hold and refunded.

Prices are shown at checkout and include any applicable taxes. Payments are processed securely by Stripe through WooPayments. By purchasing, you authorise us and our payment provider to charge your chosen payment method for the amount shown.

Digital content and services: because VIP contracts and boosts are digital services delivered as soon as your purchase is complete, you expressly request immediate delivery and acknowledge that your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal (where it applies) is lost once they have been delivered — for VIP, for the part already provided. Outside your mandatory statutory rights, payments are non-refundable. When we refund a purchase, we withdraw what it gave you as far as that is still possible.

If you start a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us to resolve the problem, we may suspend your account and any VIP benefits while the dispute is investigated.

4. In-game items and virtual goods

VIP status, boosts and any in-game items, the TAC currency, players, clubs or other assets exist only within the Service. They have no monetary value, are not your property, and cannot be sold, transferred, exchanged for cash or redeemed for anything of value outside the Service. We may adjust, reset or remove in-game items as part of operating and balancing the game.

5. Acceptable use

To keep the game fair and enjoyable for everyone, you agree not to:

• cheat, exploit bugs, or use bots, scripts or automated means to play or gain an unfair advantage;
• create or use multiple accounts to gain an advantage or evade restrictions;
• harass, threaten or abuse other users, or post hateful, obscene, illegal or infringing content;
• send spam, advertising or unwanted messages and friend requests to other managers;
• attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorised access to the Service or its systems.

6. Your content

You are responsible for the content you create or upload in the game, such as club, stadium, league and player names, your profile photo, club crests, kits, league banners and the messages you send. You must only upload images you have the right to use, and you must not use content that is unlawful, infringing, offensive or that impersonates others. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store and display your content for the purpose of operating the Service. We may remove content that breaches these Terms.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, graphics, logos and text, is owned by Tactical Soccer or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell or reverse-engineer any part of the Service except as expressly permitted.

8. Availability & changes to the Service

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may update, change, suspend or discontinue features, run maintenance, or reset seasons, and we do not guarantee that the Service will always be available or uninterrupted.

9. Suspension & termination

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms or use the Service in a way that harms other users or the Service. You may close your account at any time. If we terminate your account for a serious breach, any remaining VIP time is forfeited and non-refundable.

10. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we exclude all implied warranties and are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, or for loss of data or game progress. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, and your mandatory statutory rights as a consumer are not affected.

11. General

• Severability — if any part of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force.
• Entire agreement — these Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, form the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• No waiver — if we do not enforce a right or provision, that is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment — you may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. We may transfer ours — for example if our business is sold or reorganised — without affecting your rights.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "last updated" date above shows when they last changed. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
