Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of CashGameDB(“we”, “us”). Everything in them routes to one address: [email protected]. Write there about your account, your billing, a refund, or anything on these pages, and we will answer.

Payments are collected by — TO BE COMPLETED —, acting as merchant of record. For the payment itself, your contract for the sale is with them; for the service, it is with us.

CashGameDB is a searchable database of statistics describing how accounts play online cash-game poker. The statistics are computed from hand histories of games that have already finished.

The service is:

• •a website you look things up on, after the fact
• •cash games only — no tournament data of any kind
• •independent, and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any poker room or operator

It is not:

• •a HUD, an overlay, or anything that runs alongside your poker client
• •a source of live or real-time information about a game in progress
• •advice about how to play, and nothing here is investment, financial or gambling advice

4.1 The statistics are derived from hand histories that we did not create and cannot audit at source. They may be incomplete for a given account, a given room, or a given period, and coverage differs between rooms.

4.2 A statistic computed from few hands is noisy. Where we can say how much confidence a figure deserves, we do — see Methodology, which sets out who a player is compared against and how many hands a number needs before it means anything.

4.3 We give no warranty that any figure is accurate, complete or current, and no warranty of any commercial result from using it. Nothing in this section limits §11.

5.1 You need a working email address, and you must confirm it before the account can be used. Keep your password to yourself; tell us promptly if you think someone else has it.

5.2 An account belongs to one person. You may sign in from several of your own devices, up to the number your plan allows. When you exceed it, the browser you used least recently is signed out — you are never locked out of the device in front of you.

5.3 Sharing an account, or reselling access to it, is a breach of these terms. So is holding more than one account in order to get around a plan limit.

5.4 You must be 18 or older, and legally permitted to play online poker where you live.

6.1 Plans differ in the stakes they cover, the number of leaderboard places you can see, and how many players you may look up. The current ladder and prices are on the plans page, which reads the same configuration the service itself enforces.

6.2 A subscription runs for the period you buy — a month or a year — and renews automatically for a further period of the same length until you cancel. Prices include VAT where it applies.

6.3 You can cancel at any time, effective at the end of the period you have already paid for. There is no notice period and no cancellation fee. Your access continues to the end of that period.

6.4 Upgrading. You may move to a higher plan at any time. You pay only the difference between the two plans for the days remaining in your current period, and the upgrade ends on the same date your current period would have. If that difference is under $3, we grant the upgrade rather than bill for it. The full price of the higher plan applies from your next renewal.

6.5 Moving to a lower plan takes effect at your next renewal. We do not refund the unused part of a period on a downgrade.

6.6 We may change prices, but never during a period you have already paid for. We will tell you by email at least 30 days before a change affects your renewal, and you can cancel before it takes effect.

6.7 If a payment fails, we may suspend access until it succeeds. Your rights of withdrawal and refund are in the refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

7.1 A subscription is a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to look things up on this site for your own use. It does not transfer ownership of anything.

7.2 You may not:

• •extract the database in bulk, by scraping, automation, or repeated systematic querying, whether or not you stay within your plan's limits
• •republish, resell, sublicense or redistribute the statistics, in whole or in substantial part
• •use the service to build or train a competing database or product
• •circumvent rate limits, stake gates, device limits or any other access control
• •access the service by any automated means other than a search engine obeying our robots.txt

7.3 The database as a whole is protected as a compilation, independently of its individual figures, under the copyright and database laws that apply to it. Systematic extraction of substantial parts infringes that protection even where copying a single statistic would not.

7.4 Notes you write and watchlists you build are yours. You grant us only what we need to store and show them back to you.

We aim to keep the service up and the data fresh, and we update it daily. We do not promise a particular level of availability. Planned maintenance, and the occasional unplanned outage, are part of running this. Extended unavailability is dealt with under §9 of the refund policy.

9.1 We may suspend or close an account that breaches §5 or §7, or that is being used unlawfully. Where the breach can be put right, we will say what is wrong and give you a chance to fix it first, unless doing so would be pointless or would cause us harm.

9.2 If we close a paid account for a breach you did not cause, we refund the unused part of the period. If we close it for a breach you did, we do not.

9.3 You may close your account at any time from your account page. What happens to your data then is in the privacy policy.

We may change these terms where there is a good reason to — a change in the law, in the service, or in how it is paid for. We will email you at least 30 days before a change that affects you takes effect. If you do not accept it, you may cancel before that date; continuing to use the service afterwards means you accept the new version.

11.1 Nothing in these terms limits our liability for fraud, for wilful misconduct, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

11.2 Subject to §11.1, our total liability to you arising out of or in connection with these terms is limited to the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim.

11.3 Subject to §11.1, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data or opportunity. In particular we are not liable for gambling losses, for money lost or not won at the tables, or for any action a poker room takes against your account.

11.4 If you are a consumer, none of this affects the rights your local law gives you that cannot be excluded or limited by agreement. Where those rights conflict with anything above, those rights win.

12.1 These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator is established, excluding its conflict-of-law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

12.2 If you are a consumer, that choice does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring proceedings in the courts there.

12.3 Before going to court, please write to [email protected]. Most disputes about a subscription turn out to be a billing question, and we would rather answer it than litigate it.

If a provision of these terms is or becomes invalid, the rest stays in force. The invalid provision is replaced by the statutory rule that comes closest to what it was for.
