Terms of Use

Draft — review by a solicitor before launch. Operator details are to be inserted.

1. About these terms

These terms govern your use of cheltenhambettingtips.com (the site), operated by [legal entity name, company number and registered address — to be inserted] (we, us). By using the site you accept them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

2. Age

You must be 18 or over to use this site. Gambling by anyone under 18 is illegal in the UK.

3. Information, not advice

• The site provides information, analysis and opinion about horse racing and betting. It does not provide financial, investment or betting advice, and nothing on it should be treated as a recommendation tailored to you.
• Tips are opinions, published with the price at the time and a public record. They are not guarantees. Betting involves the risk of losing your stake and any decision to bet, and how much, is yours alone.
• We do not take bets and are not party to any bet you place with a bookmaker.

4. Accuracy

We make substantial efforts to verify facts and to label what we have not verified — see the editorial policy and sources and data. Even so, we do not warrant that content is complete, accurate, current or error-free. In particular:

• prices labelled DEMO are simulated and must not be relied on;
• indicative ante-post prices reported by third parties are not live odds;
• results and records are shown with their source and may be corrected under the corrections policy.

5. Third-party links and bookmakers

The site links to bookmakers and other third parties. Those sites have their own terms and privacy policies, which apply from the moment you leave ours. Some links are affiliate links, as described in the affiliate disclosure. We are not responsible for the content, offers, odds or conduct of any third party.

6. Intellectual property

The text, tables, compilations, design and code of the site are owned by us or our licensors. Historical data drawn from Wikipedia is used under the CC BY-SA licence and attributed as such. You may view the site for personal, non-commercial use and quote short extracts with attribution and a link. Any other reproduction, scraping, redistribution or commercial use requires our written permission.

7. Acceptable use

You must not use the site to break any law, to attempt unauthorised access to any part of it, to scrape it at a rate that impairs it, to submit abusive or unlawful content to the assistant or contact channels, or to misrepresent yourself as us.

8. The Ask Cheltenham assistant

The assistant answers from our database and cites sources, as described in the AI policy. Its answers are information, not advice, may contain errors, and are subject to sections 3 and 4.

9. Availability

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time without notice and do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

10. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law. Subject to that, we are not liable for any loss arising from betting decisions, from reliance on content, prices, results or assistant answers, from third-party sites, or from unavailability of the site — including any indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or loss of data.

11. Responsible gambling

If gambling is causing you harm, free confidential help is available from GamCare (0808 8020 133), BeGambleAware.org and GamStop. See responsible gambling.

12. Changes

We may update these terms; the date at the top of the page shows the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer rights you have where you live.
