5.1. Intellectual Property: All intellectual property rights on the Site, including (but not limited to): trademarks / logos, source code / technological system (SaaS) (excluding user content), belong solely to FinalScore (or to third parties who have permitted the Business to use them).

You may not use FinalScore content, data, or materials to train, develop, fine-tune, or improve artificial intelligence, machine-learning, or similar models without our prior written permission. This restriction does not prohibit ordinary indexing of publicly accessible pages by general-purpose search engines where such indexing complies with FinalScore's published technical controls, including robots.txt, or other automated access expressly authorized by FinalScore.

5.1.4. Prevention of Data Hoarding (Anti-Hoarding & Fair Use): It is hereby clarified that access to databases and digital content (including material libraries, templates, files) is subject to a Fair Use policy. The Business strictly prohibits using a subscription or trial period (if any) for wholesale downloading of files, "Data Hoarding", or abuse of the platform in order to download the majority of the content for anomalous use immediately thereafter. The Business monitors abnormal consumption and download data and reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to legally suspend and block accounts performing such abnormal downloads, and to cancel any right to a refund in case of abuse of these terms.

5.2. User Generated Content (UGC): The Site allows the uploading of content by users (UGC). 5.2.1. The user declares and warrants that upon uploading the content, they hold all rights to it (or possess an appropriate lawful license), and that the content does not infringe third-party rights (including copyright, privacy, and defamation).

5.2.2. The user grants the Business a worldwide, royalty-free, and irrevocable license to use, display, and reproduce the content as part of the operation and promotion of the service.

5.2.3. Notice and Takedown Procedure - Safe Harbor: This platform serves merely as a "free host / conduit" for user content according to Israeli case law, and does not actively pre-monitor uploaded content. If you believe that content uploaded to the Site infringes your rights (intellectual property, privacy, or defamation), please contact us immediately (including a link, screenshots, and an explanation). The Company commits to acting according to an orderly "Notice and Takedown" procedure, investigating the inquiry, and removing infringing content as soon as possible, thereby being exempt from any tort liability for its publication.

5.3 FinalScore's Role and Event Organizer Responsibility

FinalScore provides software tools that allow independent event organizers to create, administer, operate and publish information relating to their events. FinalScore does not organize, own, operate, sponsor, promote or control events created or managed through the Service, unless FinalScore expressly states otherwise in writing.

Each event organizer is solely responsible for its event, including its rules, regulations, eligibility requirements, categories, judging criteria, scoring decisions, schedules, venues, safety arrangements, prizes, refunds, communications, personnel and compliance with applicable laws.

Event organizers are solely responsible for all content they upload, reproduce or use through FinalScore, including event names, logos, images, videos, rules, scoring systems, documents, trademarks and other intellectual property. Organizers must ensure that they own or have all necessary rights and permissions to use such material. FinalScore does not verify ownership of such content and is not responsible for infringement caused by an organizer's use of third-party material.

Any dispute between an organizer, competitor, judge, attendee, rights holder or other third party relating to an event is a dispute between those parties. FinalScore is not a party to such dispute merely because the Service was used to administer the event.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the organizer is responsible for claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from the organizer's event, conduct, content, rules, intellectual-property infringement or violation of applicable law, and agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FinalScore from and against such claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs, including reasonable legal fees, to the extent caused by the organizer.

5.4. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification

5.4.1. Service Provided As-Is: The Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. FinalScore makes reasonable efforts to provide a reliable service but does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or available at all times. FinalScore provides software tools for competition and event management, including event administration, applications, scheduling, judging, scoring and publication of results.

5.4.2. The user declares and warrants that they are solely responsible for any misuse of the Site and/or breach of these Terms of Use.

5.4.3. Limitation of Liability and Compensation Cap: Subject to any binding law that cannot be conditioned, the Business's liability for direct damages proven to arise directly from an omission or negligence of the Business will be limited. The total liability of the Business toward the user for direct damages legally proven shall not exceed the amount paid by the user in the 12 months preceding the event. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein limits liability for bodily injury, breach of privacy, malicious acts, or damages that cannot be conditioned by law.

For the avoidance of doubt, and subject to any binding law, the limitation of liability detailed above will not apply in the following cases:

Breach of privacy obligation by the Business
Bodily injury or death resulting from negligence
Intentional act or gross negligence by the Business
Other damages for which the law does not permit limiting liability

5.5. Technological Services and Availability: The Business is not liable for damages from system downtime, data loss, cyber intrusion, or bugs in the online service that do not arise from criminal negligence or malice on the part of the Business. The user will have no claim for data loss as a result of such malfunctions.

5.6. Indemnification: The user agrees to indemnify the Business for any damage or reasonable expense (including reasonable attorney's fees) caused to it due to a fundamental breach of the Terms of Use by them directly, or due to illegal use of the Site executed by them, and not for regulatory claims or omissions by the Business.

5.7. Links to Third-Party Companies, Blocking Users, and Restricting Access 5.7.1. Restricting Access and Canceling Service: The Business reserves the right to suspend or block a user's access in the event of a reasonable suspicion of a fundamental breach of the Terms of Use. Except in cases of immediate security compromise or a requirement from a competent authority, reasonable prior notice will be given before blocking.

6. Law and Jurisdiction

6.1. Only Israeli law shall apply to this agreement.

6.2. Exclusive jurisdiction over any matter arising from these terms shall be vested in the competent court in the Tel Aviv-Yafo district.

7. Dispute Resolution

7.1. Initial Inquiry: In any case of a dispute or complaint, we invite you to contact us first at contact@finalscore.app to attempt to resolve the matter amicably out of court.

7.2. Arbitration Mechanism (B2B / SaaS Arbitration): If the parties are unable to settle the dispute between them within 30 days of the initial inquiry, all conflicts, disagreements, and disputes arising from the use of this service shall be exclusively determined by a single arbitrator appointed by mutual agreement of the parties. It is clarified that arbitration proceedings shall be confidential. This section constitutes a binding arbitration agreement as defined in the Arbitration Law, 5728-1968. The aforementioned does not prevent a consumer from applying to a small claims court in accordance with the law, and does not impair a party's right to seek temporary remedies from the competent court.

7.3. Waiver of Class Action: By accepting these terms of service in a business environment (B2B), the user explicitly agrees to resolve any dispute on an individual basis only, and waives their right to participate in a class action against the Business.

8. Changes and Updates

8.1. The Business reserves the right to update these terms of use from time to time, according to business needs or changes in the law.

8.2. Notice of Material Changes: In the event of a material change affecting the user's rights, the Business clarifies that at least 30 days' prior notice will be provided via a prominent publication on the Site or by sending a message to the user's updated email address. Continued use of the Site after the effective date of the changes will constitute consent to the updated terms.

8.3. A user who does not agree to the material change may discontinue use of the Site and request the closure of their account (if one exists) before the effective date of the changes.

9. Force Majeure

9.1. The Business shall not bear any liability for non-performance or delay in performing its obligations under these terms, insofar as it arises from circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including (but not limited to):

Pandemic, natural disaster, earthquake, flood, or extreme weather conditions;
Strike, lockout, or labor sanctions (except by the Business's employees);

Government orders, legislative changes, or unexpected regulatory directives. 9.2. In the case of force majeure, performance dates will be postponed according to the duration of the event.

10. Severability

10.1. If a competent court determines that any provision of these terms of use is void, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions, which will continue in full force.

10.2. In such a case, the void provision will be replaced by a valid alternative provision that is as close as possible to the original intent of the parties.

11. General and Assignment of Rights

11.1. Non-exercise or delay in exercising any of the Business's rights under these terms and/or by law shall not be considered an implied waiver of that right (No Waiver).

11.2. Assignment of Company Rights and Obligations: The Business may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these terms to any third party, subject to providing at least 30 days' prior notice to the user. If the user does not agree to such assignment, they may cancel their account and terminate the engagement prior to the assignment date.
