Terms of Use

1. Agreement

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to this website (www.whistleapp.co.uk) and, once it is released, the Whistle app. Whistle is provided by 10th Dimension Limited as part of MuddyStuds (“we”, “us”). By using this site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use it.

Contact: contact@muddystuds.com.

2. The service

Whistle is a match-day companion for grassroots football referees: tap to log goals, record cards and warnings, and write up and export referee reports. Whistle is coming soon and is not yet available to download. This website provides product information only.

Whistle is a tool to help referees keep their own record of a match. It is not an official league, county FA or disciplinary system, and it does not submit reports to any governing body on your behalf.

3. Price

Whistle is free. It is free for every referee who signs up to Match Referee. Match Referee is a separate service with its own terms, which apply when you sign up to it.

4. Eligibility

Whistle is intended for referees and match officials aged 18 and over who are able to enter a binding agreement in their country.

5. Your responsibilities

• Use this site and, when available, the app lawfully and in line with the rules of your league, county FA or association.
• Enter only information you are entitled to hold, and take particular care with information about young players.
• Do not reverse engineer, abuse or attempt to disrupt the app, this website or related services.
• Check your reports before you send them; you remain responsible for the accuracy of any report you submit to a league or governing body.

6. Intellectual property

Whistle, its name, wordmark and related materials are owned by us or our licensors. When the app is released, you will receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use it for refereeing purposes in line with these Terms. You may not copy, resell or redistribute the app or our branding except as allowed by law or the rules of the app store you download it from.

7. Availability and changes

We aim to keep this site available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned features and release timings may change as the product develops. We may update these Terms, particularly when the app is released; the “Last updated” date will change when we do.

8. Disclaimer

This website and, when available, Whistle are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Whistle is a tool to assist referees — verify anything critical independently.

9. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be limited under English law.

Subject to that, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of data, or loss arising from reliance on match records for official or commercial decisions. Because Whistle is free, our total liability arising from use of Whistle or this site is limited to £50.

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live.
