Legal
Terms of Use
Last updated: October 5, 2026
These terms govern your use of MatchLine ("the app") on iOS and Android. By using the app, you agree to them.
The service
MatchLine lets you follow sports teams and see their upcoming and recent fixtures. Fixture and team data is supplied by a third-party provider (API-Sports) and may occasionally be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate — we don't guarantee its accuracy or availability.
MatchLine Pro subscription
MatchLine may offer an optional auto-renewing subscription ("MatchLine Pro") that unlocks additional features. If offered:
- Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
- The subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
- Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price you agreed to.
- You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your device's Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions.
- All billing is handled by Apple; refunds are subject to Apple's App Store policies, not ours.
Who can use MatchLine
You must be at least 13 years old to use MatchLine, and older if the law where you live sets a higher age for using a service like this one. The live match chat in particular is not for children. If you are under the required age, please don't use the app.
Acceptable use
Don't use the app in a way that disrupts its operation or attempts to abuse, overload, or reverse-engineer the underlying service.
Live match chat and community rules
MatchLine's live match chat is for talking about the match. A room opens shortly before kick-off and closes shortly after the match ends. By sending messages you agree to these rules:
- No harassment, hate speech, threats, or personal attacks — against other users, players, referees, or anyone else.
- No spam, advertising, betting tips, or repeated flooding of the chat.
- No sharing of anyone's personal information, including your own.
- Nicknames must follow the same rules as messages.
Messages are filtered automatically and can be reported by other users. We may, at our sole discretion and without prior notice, remove content, mute, or ban users who violate these rules — temporarily or permanently. When a room closes with at least 10 messages, anyone can read its chat in the app for 7 days, after which it is deleted automatically; other rooms are deleted when they close. Messages hidden by moderation, messages from users banned at that moment and messages sent from app versions released before this change are never included, and a moderator can remove any archived message. Reported messages are retained for moderation as described in the Privacy Policy. You can report any message and block any user from within the chat; blocking hides that user's messages on your device.
Intellectual property
The app's design and code belong to us. Team and competition names, crests, and fixture data belong to their respective owners and providers.
MatchLine is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or otherwise connected to any club, league, federation, or competition organiser. Where a team's or competition's name or crest appears, it is there to identify whose match you are looking at, and for no other purpose — nothing in the app is meant to suggest an official relationship with anyone.
No warranty
The app is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, availability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app.
Changes
We may update the app or these terms over time. Continuing to use the app after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
