Scope: These International Terms of Service apply to users of Soccer Laws Dojo who reside outside Japan. They apply regardless of the language in which you read them. Provisions that refer specifically to the EEA or the United Kingdom apply only to users who reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom.
Version: Version 2.0
Effective date: 2026-08-11
Last updated: 2026-08-11
If you reside in Japan, please read the Japanese Terms of Service.
These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the use of the Soccer Laws Dojo mobile application (the “App”). The App is provided by the operator identified in Section 15 (the “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Please read these Terms before using the App.
The App is a learning application designed to help users deepen their understanding of the Laws of the Game of football (soccer).
The App provides a platform and opportunities for learning the Laws of the Game. Its features may include quizzes, the ability to pause and resume answers, question lists, multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and challenge quizzes. The App is an educational aid. It does not guarantee that all content is free from error or that a user will achieve a particular level of knowledge.
By creating an account, purchasing a Premium Plan, or using the App after having an opportunity to read these Terms, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
We may change these Terms when reasonably necessary, including to reflect changes to the App, security needs, legal requirements, or business operations. We will give advance notice of a material change by email or another durable medium available to you, such as an in-App notice that you can save. The notice will explain the change and its effective date.
If a material change is detrimental to you, you may reject the change and terminate the affected contract without charge before the change takes effect. We will explain how to do this in the notice. Cancellation of a Premium Plan must also be completed through the App Store or Google Play as explained in Section 5. Any prepaid amount will be handled as required by applicable law and the rules of the relevant store. These rights are in addition to any rights provided by applicable law.
For a minor change that does not materially affect your rights or obligations, such as correcting an error, clarifying wording, or updating contact details, we may give notice by posting the updated Terms. Where applicable law requires consent or another form of notice, we will comply with that requirement.
The App is generally available free of charge. We may earn revenue from advertising and the Premium Plan. The free version may display advertisements from us or our advertising partners.
Where applicable law requires consent before device information is accessed or used for advertising, including for users who reside in the EEA, we will ask for that consent. If you do not consent to personalized advertising, personalized advertising will not be used. Non-personalized advertising may still be displayed where permitted by law.
The display of advertising does not by itself entitle a user to a reduction or refund. This does not limit any refund, withdrawal, conformity, or other right provided by applicable law.
You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining the smartphone, network connection, software, and other equipment or communications environment needed to use the App, including the related costs.
Service: The Premium Plan is a paid service that may include an advertising-free experience, the removal of feature limits, and other benefits described on the purchase screen.
Available plans: We offer an annual subscription that renews automatically and includes a two-week free trial for eligible purchases, a monthly subscription that renews automatically, and a One-Month Pass available for a one-time payment and valid for one month from the purchase date. The One-Month Pass does not renew automatically.
Fees and payment: The price, billing period, and payment method are shown on the purchase screen and are also subject to the applicable terms of the App Store or Google Play.
Automatic renewal of subscriptions: The annual and monthly subscription plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless automatic renewal is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, subject to the rules shown by the relevant store.
Cancellation of subscriptions: For the annual and monthly subscription plans, you can stop the next renewal through your Apple ID or Google Account subscription-management screen. Changing a setting in the App, deleting your account, or deleting or uninstalling the App does not cancel a subscription.
One-Month Pass: The One-Month Pass requires a one-time payment and is valid for one month from the purchase date. It does not renew automatically, so no cancellation procedure is required. Premium features end automatically when the period expires. To continue using Premium features, you must purchase another One-Month Pass or another available Premium Plan.
Refunds: For all Premium Plans, including the One-Month Pass, as a general rule, fees already paid are not refundable, and no prorated refund is provided. This rule is subject to applicable law and the rules of the relevant store. It does not limit any statutory right of withdrawal or any statutory remedy for a failure to supply, lack of conformity, or other breach.
Free trial: The two-week free trial applies only to eligible purchases of the annual subscription plan. Unless you cancel before the deadline shown at the time of purchase, the trial will convert to a paid annual subscription and charges will begin.
You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date. You must take reasonable steps to keep your account credentials secure and must tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorized use.
The App is not directed to persons under 13, and persons under 13 must not use the App.
You must have the legal capacity required where you live to agree to these Terms. If you are a minor or otherwise do not have that capacity, you may use the App or purchase a Premium Plan only with the consent of a parent or legal guardian where that consent is required. A parent or legal guardian should review these Terms and the purchase terms with the minor.
For consent to the processing of a child’s personal data in connection with an information society service, the applicable age in the EEA varies by Member State from 13 to 16 years. If a user is below the applicable age, consent must be given or authorized by a parent or legal guardian. Other age and parental-consent rules may also apply where the user lives.
We may restrict or suspend access, or cancel a registration, when reasonably necessary because a user:
Except in an urgent case involving suspected fraud, a security threat, a legal violation, or a need to prevent immediate harm, we will give the user notice of the reason and a reasonable opportunity to correct the issue before taking final action. We will also explain how to appeal the decision by contacting contact@soccer-laws-dojo.com. We will review an appeal in good faith and communicate the result. In an urgent case, we will provide the reason and appeal method as soon as reasonably possible after taking action, unless doing so is prohibited by law or would create a security risk.
Where reasonably possible and not prohibited by law, security needs, or the rights of others, we will give the user an opportunity to obtain a copy of user-provided or account data before permanent deletion. Nothing in this Section limits rights to access or portability under applicable data protection law.
Sources of questions: The questions in the App are independently created by the Operator based on the Laws of the Game established by the International Football Association Board (IFAB). Copyright in the Laws of the Game themselves belongs to IFAB.
Rights in the App and Content: All rights in the App and Content, including copyrights and other intellectual property rights in quiz questions, answers, explanations, images, and designs created by the Operator, belong to the Operator or the relevant third-party rights holder.
Permitted use: You may use the Content for personal learning through the App. Unless applicable law permits otherwise, you may not reproduce, transmit, republish, modify, distribute, or otherwise use the Content outside the App’s intended use without prior permission from the relevant rights holder.
You must not:
We handle User Information in accordance with the International Privacy Policy. Please read that policy before using the App. It explains the data we collect, why we use it, how long we retain it, and the rights and choices available to you.
We may temporarily interrupt all or part of the App when reasonably necessary for emergency maintenance, a system or network failure, a security incident, a natural disaster, another event beyond our reasonable control, or compliance with law. Where reasonably possible, we will give advance notice and take reasonable steps to reduce the duration and effect of the interruption.
We may modify or discontinue all or part of the App for a legitimate reason, such as a legal, security, technical, or operational need. We will give reasonable advance notice of a material modification or discontinuation where possible. Any change to these Terms is also governed by Section 3.
If a paid feature is unavailable for a prolonged period during an active Premium Plan, we will provide the remedy required by applicable law and the relevant store rules. Depending on the circumstances, this may include restoring conformity, a proportionate price reduction or refund, cancellation, or termination of the affected service.
The App is an educational aid. Although we take reasonable care in operating it, we do not promise that every item of Content will always be accurate, complete, useful, current, or free from error, or that the App will always be available without interruption. This does not reduce any statutory requirement that the App or a paid service conform to the contract.
If a dispute arises between you and a third party because of your conduct or your independent relationship with that third party, you and the third party are responsible for resolving it. This does not exclude responsibility that the Operator has under applicable law.
Subject to the exclusions below and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Operator is not liable for losses that were not reasonably foreseeable when the contract was made or for indirect or consequential losses. Where liability may lawfully be limited, it is limited to actual and direct losses arising in the ordinary course from the relevant breach or wrongful act.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for:
You are responsible, to the extent provided by applicable law, for losses caused to the Operator by your intentional or negligent material violation of these Terms or applicable law. Nothing in this paragraph requires a consumer to compensate the Operator beyond what applicable law permits.
You may delete your account at any time by using the account-deletion feature in the App. Before deletion is carried out, the App will ask you to confirm that you understand its consequences.
When you confirm deletion:
The 30-day backup period is used to respond to inquiries, prevent fraud, and maintain security. Some data follows a different retention period because of its purpose: production server logs used for operation, troubleshooting, security, and fraud prevention are retained for 90 days; development server logs used for those purposes are retained for 30 days; inquiry emails are retained to handle and document the inquiry for one year after it is resolved; and an FCM device token is retained to deliver notifications until it becomes invalid or the account is deleted, whichever occurs first. Aggregated payment statements retained for tax purposes do not identify individual users. Further details and the legal bases for processing are provided in the International Privacy Policy.
These Terms are governed by the laws of Japan. However, this choice of law does not deprive a consumer of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law that would apply in the consumer’s country of habitual residence without this choice.
Any dispute may be brought before a court that has jurisdiction under applicable law. Nothing in these Terms prevents a consumer from bringing a claim before a court available to the consumer under applicable law, including a court in the consumer’s place of residence where the law provides that right.
The App is operated from Japan by:
For questions about these Terms, a suspension or cancellation decision, a statutory remedy, or account deletion, contact us at the email address above.
This Annex applies only to Consumers who reside in the EEA or the United Kingdom. If this Annex conflicts with the main Terms, this Annex applies to the extent needed to provide the rights required by applicable consumer law.
You have the right to withdraw from an eligible distance contract within 14 days after the contract is concluded, without giving a reason. For a purchase made through the App Store or Google Play, first use the refund, cancellation, or withdrawal process provided by the relevant store before the 14-day period ends.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of withdrawal may be lost after supply of digital content or a digital service has begun only if, before supply begins, you have expressly consented to immediate supply and acknowledged that you will lose the right of withdrawal as a result.
Depending on the relevant store and your region, the App Store or Google Play operator may be the seller and your contracting party, and the store may process the request. To the extent that the Operator is your contracting party, you may also exercise the right by sending a clear statement of your decision to withdraw to contact@soccer-laws-dojo.com before the 14-day period ends. No particular form is required. You may write, for example: “I hereby withdraw from my Premium Plan contract,” followed by your name, the email address associated with the account, the purchase date, and the date of your notice. Store procedures do not reduce any statutory rights or remedies you have against the contracting party under applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms limits the mandatory statutory rights or remedies available when digital content or a digital service is not supplied or does not conform to the contract. Where applicable, these may include having the content or service brought into conformity, receiving a proportionate price reduction or refund, or terminating the contract. For Consumers in the EEA, these rights include the protections implemented under Directive (EU) 2019/770. Equivalent or additional rights may apply under national law or United Kingdom law.
You may bring proceedings in the courts available under applicable consumer-protection and procedural law, including the courts of your place of residence where the law provides that right. The Operator may bring proceedings against you only in a court permitted by the mandatory rules that protect consumers.
If a provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory law or is unfair and therefore unenforceable, it applies only to the extent permitted by law. The remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent that they can operate independently and applicable law allows them to remain in effect.
Each language version in which a user enters into the contract is equally valid in relation to that user. If translations differ, the Terms will be interpreted in a manner consistent with applicable mandatory law. Nothing in a translation or interpretation limits a rule requiring an interpretation that is more favorable to the consumer.
This Annex applies according to a user’s place of residence, not the language selected in the App.
This Section applies to users who reside in Germany.
The Operator is neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board (Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle).
This Section applies to users who reside in Spain.
Any additional registration, authorization, tax, or professional information required by Spanish law, where applicable to the Operator, must be added before publication.
This Section applies to users who reside in France.
This Section applies to users who reside in any EEA Member State. Where consent is relied upon as the legal basis for processing a child’s personal data in connection with an information society service offered directly to the child, the age at which the child may give that consent varies by Member State from 13 to 16 years. Below the applicable age, consent must be given or authorized by a parent or legal guardian. Contractual-capacity and other age requirements under the law of the user’s residence also continue to apply.
