Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using La Copa Mundo ("the Platform"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform. We may update these terms at any time, and continued use constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use La Copa Mundo. By creating an account, you confirm that you are 13 or older. If we discover that a user is under 13, we will immediately terminate the account and delete associated data in compliance with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).

3. What La Copa Mundo Is

La Copa Mundo is an independent fan platform for the FIFA World Cup 2026. We provide match schedules, city guides, AI-powered fan assistance (El Capi), social groups, and prediction games (La Quiniela). We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to FIFA, any national football association, or any host city. This is a platform built by fans, for fans — we're here to have fun.

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your profile up to date. Sharing accounts is not permitted. You are responsible for all activity under your account.

5. Acceptable Use Policy

La Copa Mundo is a community built on respect and sportsmanship. The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

• Hate speech, racism, xenophobia, or discrimination of any kind
• Harassment, bullying, threats, or intimidation of other users
• Sharing illegal content or promoting illegal activities
• Spam, scams, phishing, or commercial solicitation
• Impersonating other users, public figures, or organizations
• Attempting to exploit, hack, or abuse any platform feature
• Any behavior that ruins the fun for others

We reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate any account that violates these rules, at our sole discretion and without prior notice. Serious violations may be reported to relevant authorities.

6. AI Features (El Capi)

El Capi is an AI-powered fan assistant. Responses are generated by artificial intelligence and may contain inaccuracies. El Capi provides entertainment and general information only — not professional, legal, medical, or financial advice. We are not responsible for any actions you take based on AI-generated content. Conversation data may be used to improve the service.

7. La Quiniela (Prediction Pools)

La Quiniela is a social prediction game for fun and bragging rights. Any entry amounts in pools are friendly wagers between friends — La Copa Mundo does not facilitate, process, or handle any real money transactions. We are not a gambling platform. Pool organizers are responsible for managing settlements among their group members. La Copa Mundo bears no responsibility for any financial arrangements between users.

8. User-Generated Content

You retain ownership of content you create (messages, predictions, profile info). By posting content on the Platform, you grant La Copa Mundo a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display and distribute that content within the Platform. We may remove any content that violates these terms. We are not responsible for user-generated content.

9. Intellectual Property

The La Copa Mundo name, logo, El Capi character, and platform design are the property of La Copa Mundo. FIFA, World Cup, and related marks are trademarks of their respective owners. Team names, flags, and emblems are used for informational fan purposes only.

10. Account Termination

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time for violation of these terms or for any reason we deem necessary to protect the platform and its community. You may delete your account at any time from the Delete Account section on your Profile page. Account deletion is permanent and removes all your data within 30 days. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.

11. Disclaimers

La Copa Mundo is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy of match schedules, scores, city information, or AI-generated content. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service availability. Use the Platform at your own discretion.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, La Copa Mundo and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to: data loss, service interruptions, AI response inaccuracies, or financial arrangements made through La Quiniela pools.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms of Service at any time. Material changes will be communicated through the Platform. Your continued use after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
