Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of My FPL Mini-League (the "Platform"), operated by Common Room Ventures Private Limited, a company incorporated in India under the Companies Act, 2013 (CIN U32409KA2026PTC222161), registered office 301/302, 3rd Floor, Saket Callipolis, Sarjapur Main Rd, Doddakannelli, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560035 ("we", "us", "our").

My FPL Mini-League is the product. Common Room Ventures Private Limited is the company that operates it, and is the party you are contracting with.

By using the Platform you agree to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy. If you run a league you also agree to the Host Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. What the Platform does

My FPL Mini-League helps people run Fantasy Premier League mini-leagues. It reads a league's public data from the official Fantasy Premier League API, calculates standings and prize races against a structure the league's host configures, publishes a league page, generates recap and insight cards, and sends messages to people who have opted into them.

We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Premier League, Fantasy Premier League, or any football club. We read data those services publish. That is the whole of the relationship.

1.1 What the Platform is not

It is not a payment service, a betting or gaming service, a financial product, or a substitute for Fantasy Premier League itself. It does not let you make transfers, manage your FPL team, or do anything inside your FPL account. We never ask for and never want your Fantasy Premier League password.

2. Who can use it

You must be 18 or over to create an account. By creating one you confirm that you are.

We set the age at 18 because India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 treats anyone under 18 as a child and requires verifiable parental consent before their data can be processed. We have chosen not to operate a parental consent process, so we do not offer accounts to under-18s at all.

You must also be able to form a binding contract with us and not be barred from doing so under any law that applies to you.

2.1 If you are under 18

You can still be in a league here. League standings come from Fantasy Premier League's public data, so your team appears on your league's page whether or not you have an account with us. Your host sees you, and prizes are calculated for you exactly as for everyone else.

What you cannot do is create an account, claim your row, or receive WhatsApp messages from us. Those need an account, and accounts are 18+.

If we find out that an account holder is under 18, we will close the account and delete the personal data attached to it.

If you are a parent or guardian and your child's team appears on a league page, you can have it anonymised, so nothing on the page identifies them. Email [email protected]. You do not need an account and you do not need to go through the league's host. See Public League Pages and Your Data.

You are responsible for everything done through your account. Keep access to your email secure, because that is how you sign in. Tell us at [email protected] if you think someone else has got in.

One person, one account. Do not share an account, and do not create a new one to get around a suspension.

3. Your account

We sign you in with a magic link or with Google. There is no password for us to store or for you to lose.

You can close your account at any time by asking at [email protected]. Closing your account does not automatically change your team's row on a public league page, because that data comes from Fantasy Premier League rather than from your account. Ask us and we will anonymise that too, so the row stays in the standings but nothing on it identifies you. See Public League Pages and Your Data.

4. Fantasy Premier League data

Standings, scores, squads and transfers come from the official Fantasy Premier League API, operated by a third party we do not control.

We do not guarantee that data is accurate, complete, current or available. If it is wrong, late or missing, everything we calculate from it inherits that problem.

Where a race resolves incorrectly because the underlying data was wrong, we will correct the calculation where we can. We will not compensate anyone for decisions already taken on the strength of an incorrect standing, including prizes already paid. Check outcomes before settling up.

5. Money and prizes

We never hold your league's money. Not at any point, in any amount, in any currency.

The Platform works as a shared ledger, in the way a bill-splitting app does. A host enters a total pot figure, and we calculate what each prize in their structure is worth. Collecting entry fees and paying out prizes happens entirely between the host and the members, away from the Platform, using whatever method they already use.

We have no visibility of what is actually collected or paid. The only money figure we hold is the one the host typed in, and what our calculation produces from it.

It follows that:

• We are not a payment processor, payment gateway, escrow agent or financial intermediary for your league.

• Amounts shown in the Platform are a record, not a balance. Marking something "settled" is a note, not a transfer.

• Disputes about entry fees or prizes are between members and their host. We cannot pay, reverse, compel or arbitrate.

• Any tax on a prize is a matter for the people involved, handled the way they handle it today. We do not give tax advice.

Prizes can also be denominated in coins or badges, which have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for anything, and are not redeemable.

5.1 Lawfulness of a league's prize scheme

Competitions with entry fees and money prizes are regulated differently in different places, and in India this varies by state as well as nationally. Whether a league's prize scheme is lawful is the responsibility of the host who set it up, as set out in the Host Terms §4.3.

We do not assess, approve or gate prize schemes by territory, and we do not warrant that any configuration is lawful anywhere.

6. Public league pages

A host can publish a league page. Once published it is visible to anyone with the link, without signing in, and can be shared, screenshotted, indexed by search engines and turned into a link preview.

Published pages show display names, team names, ranks, points and the prize board for every member of the league, including people who have never used the Platform, because the roster comes from Fantasy Premier League's public data.

Anyone can ask to have their name taken off, without an account and without going through the host. How that works, and its honest limits, is set out in Public League Pages and Your Data.

7. Plans and payment

Plans are described on our pricing page, which is the authoritative statement of what each costs and includes. What is shown there when you buy is what you are contracting for.

Plans are bought per season, as a single payment. They do not renew. When the season ends, the plan ends. If you want to run your league again the following season, you buy it again, deliberately. Nothing is charged to you automatically and there is no subscription sitting there to cancel.

If we ever introduce renewing plans, we will tell you before it applies to you, and we will follow the notice rules that apply where you live. It is not how the Platform works today.

Prices are shown and charged in pounds sterling. That is the contractual price. If your card or account is in another currency, your bank or the payment provider converts it at their own rate and may add their own fee, neither of which we set or receive.

Refunds, including a 14-day window, are in the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Additional payment terms for hosts, including price-lock commitments, are in the Host Terms §7.

Your card or bank statement will show Common Room Ventures.

On tax. Prices are shown inclusive of any tax that applies. We are not currently registered for Indian GST; if that changes before you buy, the pricing page will say so and your invoice will show the registration number and any tax charged. We would rather tell you this is unsettled than imply it is settled.

8. Messages

We send email and, where you have opted in, WhatsApp messages.

WhatsApp consent is product-level. League and message-type controls beneath it are delivery preferences. Creator Plus Broadcasts are a disclosed marketing category that may contain creator-written free text and artwork. You can stop messages in your settings, by replying STOP, or by emailing [email protected]; global OFF or STOP overrides every preference. Full detail in Messaging Consent.

Service messages such as sign-in links, security notices and changes to these Terms are not marketing and are sent regardless, because they are necessary to operate your account.

9. Content you provide

You keep ownership of what you upload or enter: league names, logos, banners, colours and anything else.

You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, resize and display it, for the purpose of running the Platform and for as long as you use it. The licence ends when you remove the content or close your account, except for copies already distributed by you or your members and versions retained under the Privacy Policy §12.

You confirm that what you provide is yours to use and does not infringe anyone's rights, and that it complies with the Acceptable Use Policy. We may remove content that does not.

10. Our content

The Platform itself, including its software, design, card layouts and branding, belongs to us or our licensors. Nothing here transfers any of it to you.

You may freely share the league pages and cards the Platform generates for your league. You may not copy the Platform, reverse engineer it except where the law permits, or resell or white-label access without our written agreement.

11. Availability

We aim to keep the Platform running, but we do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error free. We may change, suspend or withdraw features, and we may carry out maintenance.

Where we make a change that materially reduces what a paid plan provides, mid-season, you can ask for a refund under the Refund and Cancellation Policy §3.2.

We depend on third parties, including the Fantasy Premier League API, messaging networks and hosting providers. When they fail, the Platform may fail with them.

12. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by law, the Platform is provided as is and as available, and we exclude implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Platform will meet your requirements, that data from third parties is accurate, that messages will be delivered on time or at all, or that any league's prize scheme is lawful.

Nothing in this section affects rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded.

13. Liability

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

Subject to that, and to the extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for anything to do with your league's money: entry fees, prize pools, settlement, non-payment, or disputes between members and hosts.

• We are not liable for the lawfulness of a league's prize scheme.

• We are not liable for third-party data or services, including the Fantasy Premier League API and messaging networks.

• We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, goodwill, opportunity or reputation.

• Our total liability to you in connection with the Platform is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, or INR 5,000.

If you have not paid us anything, the second figure is the limit.

14. Indemnity

You will hold us harmless against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your breach of these Terms, the Host Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, from content you provided, or from a prize scheme you ran.

15. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or close your account, or unpublish a league page, where you breach these Terms or the policies they incorporate, where the law requires it, or where continuing would expose others to harm.

Where the circumstances allow we will tell you the problem and give you a chance to fix it. Where they do not, in particular where someone's data or safety is at stake, we may act first and explain afterwards.

You can stop using the Platform at any time. Sections 5, 9, 13, 14 and 19 survive termination.

Refund treatment on termination is in the Refund and Cancellation Policy §3.4.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may change these Terms. Where a change materially affects your rights or obligations we will give reasonable notice by email or in the Platform before it takes effect.

Continuing to use the Platform after that means you accept the change. If you do not accept it, stop using the Platform and, if you are on a paid plan, ask us about a refund.

Every version is kept with its effective date, so what applied at any given time can always be established. The current version and effective date are at the foot of this page.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Bengaluru have jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident outside India, this does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer law in your own country, or of any right you have to bring proceedings in your local courts.

Please raise anything with us first at [email protected]. Most things are resolved that way.

19. General

Severability. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest stands.

No waiver. If we do not enforce something immediately, we have not given up the right to.

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the policies they refer to, are the whole agreement between us about the Platform.

Order of precedence. Where these Terms conflict with the Host Terms on a host matter, the Host Terms take precedence. Otherwise these Terms take precedence.
