Legal

Terms of Use

Effective 8 September 2026
The first version of this document

These terms are the agreement between you and Faulty Compass Studio for using Goalkeeper Performance Tracker (“the app”). The short version: the whole tagging loop is free, Premium is optional and cancels in a tap through the store you bought it from, your footage never leaves your phone, and nothing in the app is a substitute for a qualified coach or a doctor.

Who these terms are with

The app is developed and published by Faulty Compass Studio (“we”, “us”), based in Devon, United Kingdom. These terms are between you and us. They are not with Google or Apple, although the store you installed the app from has its own terms that also apply to your purchase.

Contact: luke@faultycompassstudio.com

Agreeing to these terms

Installing or using the app means you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, uninstall the app. There is nothing else to cancel, because there is no account with us to close.

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should read these terms with you and agree to them on your behalf. Subscriptions are bought through Google Play or the App Store, both of which have their own approval systems for supervised and family accounts.

What the app is, and what it is not

The app helps you tag your own match footage and turns what you tag into statistics, a match rating, reports and highlight reels. It is a tool for reviewing your own football.

It is not coaching. The coaching cards summarise advice that goalkeeper coaches, governing bodies and researchers have published, and every card names its source so you can read the original. Our wording is ours; nobody named on a card wrote the sentences you read in the app, and none of them endorses it.

It is not medical, physiotherapy or nutrition advice, and it is not a judgement of whether you are fit to play. If something hurts, ask a doctor rather than an app.

The match rating and the six attributes are calculated from the moments you tag. They describe what you told the app happened. They are not an official record, they are not a scouting assessment, and no club, league or governing body has agreed that they mean anything.

Your licence to use the app

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the app on devices you own or control, for as long as you comply with these terms. That licence covers ordinary use of the app as it is distributed.

You may not sell, rent or sub-licence the app, present it as your own, or use it to build a competing product. You may not attempt to break, bypass or reverse engineer any part of it, except to the extent that law expressly permits you to do so regardless of this sentence.

The app itself, its name, its design and its code remain ours. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that to you.

Goalkeeper Premium

Premium is an optional subscription. What it adds is listed on the subscription screen in the app before you buy, and at the time of writing it is the career Showcase reel, the watermark removed from shared copies, every clip saved as its own file, the deeper statistics and named strengths, the one page player CV as a PDF, and coaching cards that fire when one of your numbers moves.

Everything else stays free. Tagging, the match rating, season statistics, match reports, match highlight reels, backup and restore are not behind the subscription and we do not intend to put them there.

We may change what Premium includes. If we remove something material from it, we will say so in the app before the change takes effect, and you can cancel before your next renewal.

The free trial

New subscribers are offered a free trial. Its length is shown on the subscription screen before you start it: thirty days through Google Play, and one month through the App Store, because the two stores offer different fixed lengths and we use the closest one each allows.

Whether you are eligible is decided by Google or Apple, based on whether your account with them has had a trial for this app before. They know; we do not.

If you do not cancel before the trial ends, it becomes a paid subscription automatically. The app will remind you five days before a thirty day trial ends, and before a monthly one ends, if you allowed it to send notifications. That reminder is a courtesy and not a condition of these terms: cancelling in time remains your responsibility.

Payment, renewal and cancellation

Everything about paying is handled by the store you installed the app from. We never see or store your card details, your billing address, or the name on your account.

The price is the one shown before you confirm. It varies by country and by the store’s own currency conversion, and the store shows you the figure that will actually be charged.

A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. The store takes payment within twenty four hours of the end of the current period.

You cancel in the store, not in the app: in the Google Play app under Payments and subscriptions, or on iPhone in Settings under Subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal and you keep Premium until the period you have paid for runs out.

Uninstalling the app does not cancel a subscription. That is worth knowing, and it catches people out on both platforms.

A subscription bought on one platform does not carry to the other. Google and Apple do not share them, and we have no account system of our own to bridge them.

If we change the price, the store will tell you and ask you to agree before it charges the new amount.

Refunds

Refunds are handled by Google or Apple under their own policies, because they took the payment. We cannot issue one ourselves, and we have no record of your purchase beyond what the store reports to us. If you think you are owed a refund, ask the store first. If you want to tell us why, we would like to know.

Keys and offer codes

We sometimes give away free access through a code redeemed in the store. A code is not a purchase, carries no cash value, and can be withdrawn or expire under the store’s rules rather than ours. Eligibility is set by the store, and generally excludes accounts that have already had a free trial for this app.

Your footage, and filming other people

Your footage, your match data and anything you write in the app are yours. We claim no ownership of them and no licence over them, which is straightforward for us to promise because we never receive any of it.

Match footage will usually show other people, often including children. You are responsible for making sure you have any permission needed to film. Clubs and leagues commonly have their own photography and filming policies, and local laws may apply. What you record, and anything you share outside the app, is your responsibility.

Do not use the app to record anyone who has asked you not to, in a place where filming is not allowed, or for any purpose that would be unlawful.

Your data

Everything you enter or import lives on your device. There is no account, no sign in, no server of ours, and nothing is uploaded. What that means for your privacy is set out in full in the Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

Because your data is only on your phone, keeping it is up to you. The app can write a backup file whenever you ask it to. We cannot recover anything for you: not a lost phone, not a deleted match, not a backup you did not make.

What we do not promise

The app is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, that it will run on every device, that a video will import or export successfully, or that it is free of faults. Video work is demanding, and phones differ enormously in what they can decode, encode and store.

We do not promise that any statistic, rating or report is accurate, and none of them should be relied on for a decision that matters, such as a selection, a trial or a transfer.

Nothing here removes rights you have as a consumer under the law where you live. In the United Kingdom, that includes your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, and those rights stand whatever this section says.

Our liability

We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else the law does not allow us to limit.

Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for lost footage, lost data or lost opportunity, and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you have paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim. For most people that amount is nothing, because the app is free.

Changes to the app and to these terms

We may update, change or withdraw features. If a change materially reduces what a paid subscription gives you, we will say so in the app before it takes effect.

If these terms change, we will update the effective date above and describe the change here. A change that affects what you pay, what you get, or your rights will be flagged in the app itself rather than left for you to find.

Ending your use

You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. That erases everything it holds on your device, including the database, imported videos and photos. It does not cancel a subscription; cancel that in the store first.

We may end your licence if you seriously or repeatedly breach these terms. In practice that means using the app unlawfully, or attacking or misrepresenting it, and it is not something we expect to ever need.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the United Kingdom or in the European Union, you keep the protection of any mandatory consumer law of the country you live in, and you may bring proceedings there.
