About FanStand

FanStand is an independent football application operated by Thendo Nengwenda in South Africa. It provides football information, predictions, rankings and community features. It is not an official product of a football club, league or governing body unless expressly stated.

By using FanStand, you agree to these terms and the community guidelines. Our privacy policy explains how we handle information. If you do not agree, do not create an account or continue using the service.

Your account

Provide accurate account information, use a username you are entitled to use, and keep your sign-in details secure. Do not impersonate someone else, share another person's private information, or use automated or duplicate accounts to manipulate results. You must be legally able to agree to these terms and obtain any parent or guardian permission required by applicable law.

You are responsible for activity you authorise through your account. Contact support@fanstand.co.za if you suspect unauthorised access. We will never ask you to email your password or verification codes.

Predictions and points

Predictions and rankings are for entertainment and community competition. Points have no cash value, cannot be purchased or redeemed, and do not represent a wager. FanStand does not accept bets or offer cash payouts through its predictor league.

For the current scoring system, an exact score earns 3 points, a correct outcome without the exact score earns 1 point, and an incorrect outcome earns 0 points. These are alternative awards, not added together. Predictions close at the applicable match deadline. See the in-app scoring guide for eligibility and ranking details.

Points and rankings can change when confirmed results are corrected, duplicate records are resolved, or abuse is identified. If a future promotion offers a prize, it will need separate published rules; the current points system does not promise prizes.

Football data and availability

Fixtures, scores, lineups and other information depend on third-party coverage. Updates can be delayed, missing or corrected. Refreshing the app does not guarantee that a provider has supplied a newer score. Some competitions or player features may have limited coverage.

We work to keep the service useful, but do not promise uninterrupted access, error-free results, or that every feature will be available for every match or device. Features may change or be withdrawn. Do not rely on FanStand for financial decisions or emergencies.

Content you contribute

You retain your rights in content you create. You give FanStand permission to store, display and process that content as needed to operate the community and moderate it. Only submit content you have the right to share. Do not post unlawful material or infringe another person's privacy, copyright or other rights.

We may remove content or restrict an account for violations, safety concerns or legal obligations. You can report content in the app and contact support to ask about a moderation decision. Account deletion and content-removal options are described on the deletion page.

Fair use and community conduct

Do not harass, threaten, discriminate, promote violence, distribute sexual exploitation material, run scams, post spam, solicit bets, manipulate rankings, bypass access controls, or interfere with the service. Follow the community guidelines and use report, block and mute controls when needed.

Our service and third-party rights

The FanStand name, original interface and application code belong to their respective owners. Football names, badges, images and data remain subject to their owners' rights. Their appearance does not imply endorsement or grant you permission to reuse them elsewhere. Contact support@fanstand.co.za with the location and details of any rights complaint.

Ending use and limits

You can stop using FanStand at any time and request account deletion. We may suspend or end access where necessary to address misuse, protect the community or comply with law. Where appropriate, you can contact support to request a review.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, FanStand is provided on an as-available basis and we are not responsible for indirect losses arising from unavailable or inaccurate football information. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes, law and contact

These terms may be updated as the service changes. The updated date appears above, and material changes will be communicated through the service where appropriate. South African law applies, subject to any mandatory rights and protections you have under applicable local law.

For questions, support or complaints, contact support@fanstand.co.za. We encourage you to contact us first so we can try to resolve the issue.
