Season

Article 1 — Promoter

Mehdi Grar, a sole trader (entrepreneur individuel) registered with the French National Business Register (Registre National des Entreprises, RNE) under SIREN number 790 231 468, whose registered address is 136 rue de l'Église, 74970 Marignier, France (the "Promoter"), publisher of the Quizelo mobile application (the "App"), is running a free prize competition, with no purchase necessary, based on the competitive leaderboard of the App (the "Season").

Any question about the Season may be sent to: contact@quizelo.app.

Article 2 — Nature and purpose of the Season

The Season rewards, on merit, the best players in the ranked mode of the App at the end of a competition period. Winners are determined solely on the basis of their skill ranking (ranking score (ELO), reflecting the results obtained in ranked games), with no element of chance.

Entry is free and no purchase is necessary: ranked mode is open to all players, with no subscription or purchase required. The ranking involves no element of chance, and no purchase improves a player's score or chances of winning. The Season is neither a lottery nor a game of money and chance within the meaning of Articles L. 320-1 et seq. of the French Internal Security Code. It falls under the rules applicable to promotional operations.

For entrants resident in the United Kingdom, the Season is a skill-based prize competition and not a lottery within the meaning of the Gambling Act 2005; it is run in accordance with the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (CAP Code).

Article 3 — Duration and cadence

The Season is recurring: seasons follow one another in fixed-length windows (indicative cadence: quarterly, i.e. approximately 90 days), each season being numbered. At each change of season, a soft-reset of the ranking score is applied (compression towards the mean) in order to reopen the competition, without removing progress already made.

For each season, the number, start date and end date are announced and displayed within the App. Only the results obtained in ranked games during the window of the season concerned are taken into account for the final leaderboard; the timestamp recorded by the Promoter's servers prevails. The Promoter reserves the right to extend, shorten, postpone or amend these dates under the conditions of Article 12.

Article 4 — Eligibility

4.1. The Season is open to any natural person aged 16 or over on the date of entry, resident in metropolitan France, Belgium, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, and holding a valid account on the App.

4.2. Entrants who are minors must have obtained the prior authorisation of their parent or legal guardian, both to take part and to accept and receive any prize, regardless of their country of residence. The Promoter may request proof of this and, failing that, may disregard the entry. A minor winner's prize is handed over in the presence of, and with the agreement of, their parent or legal guardian.

4.3. To compete for the rewarded leaderboard of a season, the entrant must have played at least one ranked game during the window of the season concerned. Entry is strictly personal and limited to one account per person (see Article 7). Demonstration accounts and virtual opponents generated by the App do not enter the rewarded leaderboard.

4.4. The Promoter's directors and employees, together with members of their immediate family living in the same household, are excluded from entry.

4.5. Entry implies full and unreserved acceptance of these rules (see Article 13).

Article 5 — Mechanics and determination of the winners

5.1. Leaderboard. Each entrant's ranking score (ELO) evolves according to their results in ranked games. When the season closes, a general leaderboard is drawn up in decreasing order of ranking score among the eligible entrants (Article 4.3).

5.2. Tie-break. In the event of an equal ranking score, the order is determined objectively by the App (in particular by account identifier), with no element of chance.

5.3. Winners. The winners are the entrants occupying the ranks or tiers that carry a prize for the season, as announced within the App (Article 6).

5.4. Game rewards (separate from the prizes). When each season closes, the App credits eligible players with points according to their leaderboard tier, with a bonus for the top ranks. These points are an in-game currency: they have no monetary value, are neither transferable nor convertible into cash, and have no bearing on the award of the prizes defined in Article 6.

5.5. Only scores properly earned in accordance with these rules are taken into account; the Promoter excludes from the leaderboard any fraudulent or non-compliant entry (Article 7).

Article 6 — Prizes

6.1. The prizes for the current season (nature, value, rewarded ranks or tiers) are announced within the App. Unless stated otherwise, they reward the top ranks of the final leaderboard and may include prizes in kind.

6.2. Prizes cannot give rise to any cash alternative, exchange for their cash value, or transfer to a third party, except with the Promoter's express agreement. If a prize is unavailable, the Promoter may replace it with a prize of equivalent nature and value; prize images are not contractual.

6.3. Verification prior to delivery. Before awarding a prize in kind, the Promoter may carry out any relevant checks (authenticity of games, identity, single-account, eligibility); for a valuable prize, enhanced identity verification may be requested. Failing compliant supporting documents within the time allowed, the winner is deemed to have waived their prize.

6.4. The Season is not sponsored, endorsed or administered by, nor associated in any way with, Apple Inc. or Google LLC. Those companies cannot be held liable for any claim relating to the prizes or the running of the Season.

Article 7 — Fraud, disqualification and multiple accounts

7.1. Any use of more than one account by the same person results in the disqualification of all the accounts concerned.

7.2. The following are in particular prohibited and result in disqualification: using bots, scripts, emulators or any automated process; collusion (fixed games, deliberate exchange of results to inflate a ranking); and any conduct contrary to these rules or liable to distort the leaderboard.

7.3. The Promoter reserves the right to carry out any relevant checks and to exclude, at any time and without notice, any entrant in the event of proven fraud or attempted fraud, without prejudice to any legal action. An excluded entrant loses all right to a prize.

Article 8 — Liability

8.1. The Promoter cannot be held liable for malfunctions of the network, the App, or entrants' hardware or software, nor for any event beyond its control affecting the running of the Season.

8.2. The Promoter cannot be held liable for the loss, theft or damage of a prize during delivery, nor for incorrect or incomplete details provided by the winner.

Article 9 — Announcement and delivery of prizes

9.1. Winners are notified individually, when the season ends, via the App and/or the email address associated with their account. Point rewards are credited automatically. Winners' usernames may be announced on Quizelo's communication channels, under the conditions of Article 11.

9.2. For a prize in kind, the winner has 15 days from notification to confirm acceptance and provide the information needed for delivery (identity, postal address and, for minors, the parent or guardian's agreement). After this period, or if the winner cannot be reached, or if the details are invalid, the prize is deemed declined and may be awarded to the next entrant in the ranking or cancelled, at the Promoter's choice.

9.3. Digital prizes are delivered online. For a physical prize delivered to a winner resident in Switzerland or the United Kingdom (outside the European Union), delivery may give rise to customs duties and/or import VAT; the Promoter may, at its option, source the prize from a local distributor to avoid charging these to the winner, failing which such charges remain the winner's responsibility.

Article 10 — Personal data

The data collected (username, email address, game and leaderboard data and, for winners, the information needed for delivery) are processed by the Promoter, as data controller, solely to manage the Season, draw up the leaderboard, contact winners, deliver prizes and communicate the results.

• Legal basis: performance of these rules to which the entrant has agreed and, where applicable, consent for optional communications.
• Retention: for as long as necessary to manage the Season and deliver the prizes, plus any applicable statutory retention periods, and then deletion or anonymisation.
• Rights: access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, by writing to contact@quizelo.app. A complaint may be lodged with the competent authority: the CNIL in France (www.cnil.fr); the ICO in the United Kingdom (ico.org.uk); the FDPIC in Switzerland. Processing is carried out in accordance with the GDPR, the UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018 (UK entrants) and the nFADP (Swiss entrants).

Article 11 — Communication of results

By the sole fact of entering, each winner authorises the Promoter to publish their username and rank on Quizelo's communication channels, for the purpose of announcing the results, without this giving rise to any right to payment. Any use beyond this (name, image, testimonial) is subject to the winner's separate express agreement and, for a minor, that of their parent or legal guardian. To comply with the UK CAP Code, the Promoter will make available, on request sent to contact@quizelo.app, the surname and county of the winners of the main prizes resident in the United Kingdom; any winner may object to this publication without this affecting their right to their prize.

Article 12 — Amendment or cancellation

The Promoter may amend, extend, shorten, suspend or cancel a season in the event of force majeure, lasting technical impossibility, large-scale fraud compromising the integrity of the leaderboard, a change in law or regulation, or a decision by an authority or a distribution platform preventing operation of the App. Any amendment is brought to entrants' attention within the App before it takes effect and may not deprive an entrant of rights already acquired. If a season is cancelled, prizes owed to winners already determined remain theirs.

Article 13 — Acceptance of the rules

Entry into the Season implies unreserved acceptance of these rules and of the applicable laws and regulations. Breach of the rules results in the entrant's exclusion.

Article 14 — Availability of the rules

These rules are available free of charge throughout each season within the App and on the Quizelo website.

Article 15 — Disputes and governing law

These rules are governed by French law. For entrants resident in Belgium, Switzerland or the United Kingdom, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of their country of residence remain reserved, and those entrants keep the right to bring proceedings before the courts of their country of residence where the applicable law guarantees them that right. Any complaint must be sent in writing to contact@quizelo.app within 30 days of the end of the season concerned. Failing an amicable resolution, any dispute will be submitted to the competent French courts, subject to the mandatory jurisdiction rules applicable to consumers.
