Version 3.0 — October 7, 2026
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of the Pool Score app and the
website pool-score.cloud (together, the "Service"), provided by edge
guide gmbh. By tapping "Create a login" when you first start the app,
you accept these Terms and confirm that you have had the opportunity to
read them at the link shown next to that button. The subscription
described in section 9 is also offered to you under these Terms. If you
do not agree, do not create a login and do not use the Service.
Pool Score is a scoring app for pool billiards: straight pool (14.1) and
the rack disciplines (8-Ball, 9-Ball, 10-Ball). It records the sessions
you play, the players you add, and your statistics. It is not a
matchmaking service, a marketplace, or a social network.
The app plays a short sound when a new rack is set up. This sound is
"SPRTIndor_Billiard Balls And Triangle 01_KVV AUDIO_FREE" by KVV_Audio,
published on freesound.org (https://freesound.org/s/830220/) under the
Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 licence
(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/); we converted it to a
smaller file format for the app.
3.1 You need a login — an e-mail address and a password — to use the
app; there is no free-of-account mode in this version. The login exists
because the app's backup and second-device features are built on it: the
app cannot offer them without knowing who you are. After
registering you confirm your e-mail address by opening the link we send
to it; the app opens once the address is confirmed. Using the app beyond
the login screen requires an active subscription (section 9).
3.2 You must be 16 years of age or older to create a login. If you are
training a younger player, add them to the app as a guest on your own
account rather than creating a login for them.
3.3 You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for
everything that happens under your login. Tell us if you believe your
account has been accessed without your permission.
4.1 While you are logged in, the app keeps a backup of your own data —
your players, your finished sessions, and your settings — on our server,
so you can restore it on a second device by logging in there.
4.2 You can export a copy of your data from inside the app at any time;
the export includes the state of your subscription as our server last
recorded it.
4.3 You can delete your account and everything stored under it from
inside the app, or from the web page pool-score.cloud/delete-account.
Deletion removes your data from our server; it does not undo a live
stream that already ended, since nothing from a stream is kept once it
stops (see section 6).
4.4 What data we collect and why is in the Privacy Policy at
pool-score.cloud/privacy, part of these Terms by reference.
5.1 You may add other people — training partners, opponents — as players in
the app ("guests") without their own login. You enter their name
yourself. By doing so, you confirm that the name is one the person
agrees to be recorded under — for example, first name or initials rather
than a full legal name if you have not asked them.
5.2 You may invite a guest to connect their own Pool Score login
with your record of them. To do so you enter their e-mail address, or
you share an invitation link with a code through an app of your choice.
Only invite people you know personally and who expect to hear from you.
Our server stores only a fingerprint of the address or of the code,
never the address or the code itself; both stay on your phone. If you
choose to send the invitation e-mail, your own e-mail app sends it under
your address; a link you share goes through the app you choose, and
whoever holds it before it is used can accept it. An invitation that is
not answered lapses after 30 days; you can withdraw it before that.
5.3 The invited person sees your display name and can confirm
or decline; whoever opens an invitation link sees it and can confirm or
leave it. When they confirm, both apps mark the player as connected,
and each of you can see the sessions you played against each other and
the statistics calculated from them, as the Privacy Policy describes;
nothing else of your data is shared through a connection. Either of
you can end a connection at any time in the app.
6.1 You can start a live stream of a session in progress. While it runs,
the app publishes a web link; anyone who holds that link can open it in
a browser and see the session's scores, the players' names as you
entered them, and — where you or the other player has set one — the
players' profile pictures, until you stop the stream. A stream
you do not stop is removed from our server at the latest 24 hours after
its last update.
6.2 Nothing on the linked page identifies you or your account; it shows
only what is described above, for that one session.
6.3 Because a stream also shows your opponent's name and, if set, their
picture, you are responsible for making sure your opponent agrees before you share the link with anyone, exactly as you are
responsible for their name under section 5.
7.1 You may add a picture to your own player profile, and — separately —
a picture you take of another player at the table, for that player's
record in your own app. A picture for your own player is stored, like
your other data, under your login and comes back on a restore; a picture
you take of another player stays on your own phone and is never uploaded
to your account's data on our server. Either picture is included in a
live stream if the player it belongs to is playing in that session (see
section 6).
7.2 If you add a picture of someone else, you are responsible for having
that person's agreement, the same way as for their name under section 5
— with more weight, since a photograph is a more sensitive kind of
personal data than a first name.
7.3 You must not upload or use a picture that is unlawful, that shows
someone in a way they have not agreed to, or that you do not have the
right to use.
You agree not to enter, upload, or otherwise use through the Service any
name, text, or picture that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that
infringes someone else's rights. You agree not to use the
invitation feature to contact people who have not agreed to be
contacted by you. We may remove such content and suspend
or delete the responsible account. Report such content to
info@edge-guide.de.
9.1 Pool Score is offered as an auto-renewing subscription. After you
have created your login and confirmed your e-mail address, the app
offers you a monthly or a yearly plan at the price shown in the app
store at the time of purchase. Prices include VAT where it applies and
may differ by country.
9.2 The first 14 days of your first subscription are a free trial, once
per Apple ID or Google account. The trial converts into the paid
subscription at its end unless you cancel it before, in your app
store's subscription settings.
9.3 The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period —
one month or one year — at the then-current price, until you cancel it
in your app store's subscription settings at least 24 hours before the
end of the current period. A cancellation takes effect at the end of
the period already paid for; you keep access until then. The app shows
you the way to those settings under "Manage subscription".
9.4 You buy the subscription from Apple (through the App Store) or
Google (through Google Play), not from us. The purchase, the payment,
your right of withdrawal and the way you waive it when the service
starts, and any refund are governed by Apple's or Google's terms and
handled by them; we have no access to your payment data.
9.5 Your subscription is attached to your Pool Score login, not to your
phone: it opens the app on any phone you log in on, on iOS and Android
alike. One app-store purchase belongs to one login at a time; if you
restore your purchases while logged in with a different login, the
subscription moves to that login and the previous one loses it.
9.6 Without an active subscription — before you start one, or after it
has ended — the app shows you the subscription screen alone. You can
still export your data, delete your account and log out from there, and
your data stays stored under your login until you delete it.
9.7 Deleting your account (section 4.3) does not cancel your
subscription. Cancel it in your app store's subscription settings, or
it renews.
9.8 The app contains no advertising, does not use your data for
advertising and runs no analytics.
The Service is provided "as is" within the limits of the law that
applies to paid digital services. We do our best to keep it available
and your data safe, but we do not promise the Service will always be
available, error-free, or uninterrupted. Your statutory rights in case
of a defect remain unaffected.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability for intent or gross negligence,
for injury to life, body, or health, or any other liability that cannot
be excluded under German law. Beyond that our liability is limited to
the foreseeable damage typical for a contract of this kind.
We may update these Terms as the app changes. A new version carries a
new version number and date at the top of this document and, where the
change is material, we will show a notice in the app describing what
changed. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means
you accept the new Terms.
These Terms are governed by German law. If you are a consumer, this does
not take away any protection you have under the mandatory law of the
country where you live. Any dispute not covered by a mandatory consumer
protection rule is subject to the courts of Germany.
