1. Who we are
SideSpin is published by the developer named on its Google Play listing (“we”, “us”). Our trader contact details are shown on that listing. You can reach us at support@side-spin.com.
2. The app and its plans
- Free. The scoreboard is free with no ads: all seven games, scoring from two phones, Door mode and Drive backup. Every frame you play is saved.
- Pro trial. A new install includes 30 days of Pro, starting the first time you open the app. No card is needed and there is nothing to cancel. When it ends, the app returns to Free and your saved frames stay on your device.
- Pro. Unlocks your full record, statistics and reports. Sold as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one-time purchase (Pro Lifetime).
- Venue. For clubs and halls that run SideSpin on a phone or tablet at their tables. A 14-day trial starts when a device is set up for a table. Venue (up to 8 tables) and Venue Plus (9 tables or more) are sold monthly, yearly or as a one-time purchase. The size is your own declaration. One licence covers one venue and every phone or tablet signed into that venue's Google account.
Prices are shown in the app and on Google Play in your local currency, including any taxes Google Play applies. Features may change as the app is improved; we will not remove a core feature of a plan you have paid for without telling you in the app first.
3. Billing, renewal and cancellation
- All purchases are made through Google Play and charged to your Google account. Google Play's terms apply to the payment.
- Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Cancel any time in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for.
- If we change a subscription price, Google Play tells you before it applies, and you can cancel before then.
- Purchases belong to your Google account. On a new phone, sign in with the same account, or use Settings → Restore purchases.
4. One-time purchases (Lifetime)
Pro Lifetime unlocks every Pro feature on your Google account, and Venue one-time unlocks SideSpin Venue on the venue's Google account, for as long as SideSpin is on Google Play. Features that need our own servers may be offered later as a separate add-on.
The app checks your purchases with Google Play. If Google Play reports that the account no longer owns a one-time purchase (for example after a refund or chargeback) for 7 days in a row, the app removes that entitlement.
5. Refunds
Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy. Within 48 hours of a purchase you can usually request one directly from Google Play. After that, email us at support@side-spin.com with your order number (it starts with GPA.) and we will look at every request fairly. Nothing in these terms limits a refund or cancellation right you have under the consumer law of your country.
6. Your data
Your games, players and records are stored on your device, and you control them: export, back up to your own Google Drive, or delete them at any time. Our Privacy policy explains exactly what the app touches. Saved frames cannot be edited after they are saved, so that every record stays trustworthy. Keep a backup; we cannot recover data that was never backed up, because we hold no copy of it.
On a venue device, the venue is responsible for the players it signs in and for telling them that their frames are recorded on the venue's device.
7. Fair use
- Use SideSpin for scoring, recording and reviewing cue-sport games. Do not use it for anything unlawful, including illegal gambling.
- Do not copy, resell, reverse-engineer or redistribute the app, or try to get around its purchase checks, except where the law allows it.
- Do not enter names or content you have no right to use, or that is abusive.
8. Rules and results
SideSpin follows the latest published rules of each game (WPBSA, WPA, UMB) as closely as it can, but it is a scoring aid, not a referee. For any official competition, the referee and the competition's own rules decide. Results, statistics and reports in the app are for your own information.
9. Ownership
The app, its design, name and content belong to us. Buying a plan gives you a personal, non-transferable licence to use the app under these terms; it does not transfer ownership. Your game data is yours.
10. No warranty and liability
We work hard to keep SideSpin accurate and reliable, but it is provided “as is”, and we cannot promise it will always be error-free or available. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost data, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid for SideSpin in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.
11. Ending use
You can stop using SideSpin at any time by cancelling any subscription and uninstalling. We may suspend a licence that was obtained by fraud or is used in breach of these terms. If we ever withdraw SideSpin from Google Play, we will give notice in the app where we can.
12. Changes
If these terms change materially, we will update the date above and show a notice in the app. Continuing to use SideSpin after that means you accept the new terms.
13. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in your local courts.
