Legal
Terms of Service
⚠️ DRAFT — not yet in force. This is a placeholder skeleton pending legal
review. It is not legal advice and should be reviewed by a qualified lawyer (particularly
the "what Punt Guru is" positioning) before publication. Bracketed items
[like this] need to be filled in.
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Punt Guru, operated by [legal entity name, ABN] ("Punt Guru", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms.
1. What Punt Guru is — and isn't
Punt Guru is a social scorekeeping and organisation tool for groups who bet with their own bookmakers. It records the bets you tell it about, works out wins and losses for bragging-rights purposes, and runs leaderboards and group banter.
Punt Guru is not a bookmaker, wagering service provider, or gambling operator. It does not accept bets, place bets, hold or transfer any money or funds, and is not involved in any real-money gambling transaction. All betting you do happens with third-party bookmakers of your own choosing, under their terms — Punt Guru simply keeps score. No real money changes hands through Punt Guru.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and legally permitted to use a service like this in your location. You are responsible for ensuring your use of Punt Guru is lawful where you are.
3. Your account and conduct
You are responsible for your account and for the accuracy of the information you enter. You agree not to misuse the service, harass other users, post unlawful content, or use Punt Guru for any purpose it isn't intended for. [Detail acceptable-use rules and account responsibilities.]
4. Content and banter
You retain ownership of the content you post, and grant us the licence we need to operate the service. You are responsible for what you post. [Detail content licence, moderation, and removal rights.]
5. Intellectual property
The Punt Guru name, logo, and software are owned by us and protected by law. These Terms don't grant you any rights to them beyond using the service as intended.
6. Disclaimers
The service is provided "as is". We don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we're not responsible for the outcomes of any bets you place with third parties. [Insert full disclaimer wording.]
7. Limitation of liability
[Insert limitation-of-liability and indemnity provisions, consistent with the Australian Consumer Law where it applies.]
8. Suspension and termination
You can stop using Punt Guru at any time. We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are breached or where reasonably necessary. [Detail termination process and effects.]
9. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We'll post the updated version here and update the date below; continued use means you accept the changes.
10. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of [state/territory], Australia, and you submit to the courts of that jurisdiction.
