Terms of use

1. Purpose

Grand Prix Gurus is a Formula 1 prediction game published by Dorian Herbel. It is an independent project, not affiliated with the FIA, Formula 1 or the teams mentioned. The game is free, with no stakes or cash prizes. Some features may become paid: prices and terms would be communicated before they are introduced.

2. Eligibility and account

• You must be at least 13 years old or, below that age, have the consent of a parent or guardian.
• Access is through Discord, Google or a sign-in link sent by email. You are responsible for keeping this access confidential.
• You are responsible for all activity on your account. Let us know immediately if it is used without your permission.
• An account is personal. Creating more than one account is governed by the Community rules.

3. Acceptable use

By using the Service, you agree to follow all of our Community rules and the applicable laws. These rules are an integral part of these terms: any breach of the rules is a breach of the terms of use.

4. How the game works

Predictions close when the session concerned starts. The points for a bonus prediction depend on the odds shown when you save it. Scores are calculated automatically from public sources and may be corrected after a penalty, a stewards' decision or a data error. Standings may therefore change after a race has closed.

5. Content and intellectual property

• Race names, results and data come from third-party public sources and remain the property of their rightsholders. Openly licensed photos and data are listed in the credits.
• Elements specific to the Service (interface, graphics, game mechanics) remain the publisher's property.
• You remain responsible for the content you publish (username, bio, avatar) and guarantee that you hold the rights to the avatar you upload. You grant us a limited license to display it within the Service.

6. Account suspension and bans

We reserve the right to ban users. At our sole discretion and without notice, we may warn, restrict, suspend or permanently delete an account, change or remove content, and cancel points or achievements obtained in breach of the rules, in particular in the event of:

• a breach of these terms or the Community rules;
• fraudulent, abusive or unlawful behavior, or behavior harmful to other users or the Service;
• use of automation, exploits or multiple accounts;
• a risk to the security, integrity or reputation of the Service.

A ban can be temporary or permanent. With a permanent ban, access to the account and its predictions, scores and achievements may be lost for good, within the limits set by law.

7. Termination by the user

You can stop using the Service at any time and delete your account yourself from the Settings page. Your data is then deleted as described in the privacy policy.

8. No warranty and limitation of liability

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", with no guarantee that race data is accurate or that the service is continuously available. To the extent permitted by law, we cannot be held liable for indirect damage resulting from the use of, or inability to use, the Service. Nothing in these terms limits the rights the law grants you as a consumer.

9. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms to reflect changes to the Service or the law. The "last updated" date at the top of the page will change accordingly. By continuing to use the Service after an update, you accept the revised terms.

10. Governing law and contact

These terms are governed by Belgian law. For any questions about these terms, contact hello@dherbel.be.
