Terms of Service

Version 2026-07-17-13-plus · Last updated: 17 July 2026.

These terms are an agreement between you and Jason Wirth, the developer and operator of Cricket Masterplan ("we", "us"), covering the Cricket Masterplan account-based game at app.cricket-manager.co. You agree to them by selecting the agreement checkbox when you create an account or when we ask you to accept a material update. Merely visiting the public information website does not create an account agreement. If you don't agree, don't create or use an account. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data.

1. The service

Cricket Masterplan is a browser-based cricket management game, currently free to play and in active development. We may make proportionate changes to fix bugs or security issues, rebalance gameplay, improve accessibility or performance, maintain compatibility, add or improve features, comply with law, respond to changes made by essential service providers, or retire a feature that is no longer technically or economically viable.

If a planned change would materially reduce the game's core functionality, we will normally give at least 30 days' notice by email or a prominent in-game message. The notice will explain the change, why it is being made and when it takes effect. During that period you can export your saves and close your account if you do not wish to continue. We may give less notice where an urgent security issue, legal requirement or serious technical incident makes 30 days impracticable, but we will explain the position as soon as reasonably possible.

We may discontinue the whole service only for a genuine legal, security, technical, operational or economic reason. Where reasonably possible, we will give at least 30 days' notice and keep save export available during that period. Immediate discontinuation is reserved for circumstances such as a legal requirement, a serious security risk or an event outside our reasonable control that prevents continued operation. If paid services are introduced later, any prepaid amount for a period after provider-initiated discontinuation will be refunded where required by law.

2. Your account

You need an account to play. You agree to give us an email address you control, keep your password confidential, and not share your account or use anyone else's. You're responsible for activity on your account.

You must be at least 13 years old and meet any higher minimum account age that applies in your country to create or use an account. When you confirm that you meet these requirements, you represent that the confirmation is truthful. If you do not meet both requirements, do not create an account or use the account-based game.

We may suspend or close an account for a material breach of these terms, a legal requirement, an ineligible user, or a real risk of harm to users, the service or other people. We may act immediately for a serious breach or risk. For a minor or remediable breach, we will normally explain the problem and give you a reasonable opportunity to put it right first. Unless doing so would be unlawful or create a security or safety risk, we will give you a reasonable opportunity to export your saves before permanent closure.

You can close your account at any time by emailing jason@cricket-manager.co; your data is then handled as described in the Privacy Policy.

3. Saves and game data

Your careers are saved to the cloud and mirrored in your browser. We will use reasonable skill and care when operating cloud saves and carrying out save-format migrations, but technical failures can still happen. The game includes an export tool, and we recommend making periodic exports of careers that matter to you.

We will not deliberately delete or reset your saves except where you request deletion, close your account, materially breach these terms, or deletion is reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance or a save-format migration that cannot be completed after reasonable efforts. For a planned incompatible migration, we will normally give reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to export first. Any responsibility we have for save loss is governed by section 8; your statutory rights are not excluded.

4. Feedback

Bug reports, ideas, balance notes and suggestions — through the in-game feedback tool, email, or anywhere else — are welcome and genuinely shape the game. By sending feedback you agree we can use it freely, without restriction, credit, or compensation. (In practice we do try to credit good ideas in the devlog, but that's goodwill, not obligation.)

5. Ownership and licence

Cricket Masterplan — the game, its code, design, artwork, text, and simulation — belongs to us. We grant you a personal, non-transferable, non-commercial licence to play it. You may not resell access, copy or redistribute the game, scrape or bulk-download its content, or use automated tools to access it other than a normal web browser.

The game supports mods and custom databases. Mods you create for your own play are yours to make and share; they must not contain unlawful content, and anything you build on top of the game's systems is for personal, non-commercial use.

6. Fair use

Don't attempt to breach or probe the game's security, interfere with the service or other players, or use the feedback tool or any submission channel to send unlawful, abusive, or deliberately disruptive content.

7. Unofficial simulation

Cricket Masterplan is an unofficial work of simulation and parody of domestic first-class cricket. It is not affiliated with, licensed by, or endorsed by the ECB, Cricket Australia, the BCCI, any club, county or state, or any real competition. All in-game players are fictional; any resemblance to real people is coincidental.

8. Consumer rights and liability

We will provide the service with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with the descriptions and commitments we make to you, subject to the fair change provisions above. The fact that the game is currently free does not remove any mandatory consumer rights or remedies that apply to you.

If we breach these terms or fail to use reasonable care and skill, we are responsible for loss or damage that is a foreseeable result. Loss is foreseeable if it was an obvious consequence or both you and we knew it might happen when you accepted these terms. We are not responsible for loss that was not caused by us, was not reasonably foreseeable, or relates to business or commercial use of this consumer game.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of your statutory rights, or anything else that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

We are not responsible for delay or failure caused by an event genuinely outside our reasonable control, provided we take reasonable steps to minimise the effect, keep you informed and restore the service where reasonably possible.

9. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms only for a valid reason, such as a change in law, regulation, security or technology; a new or changed feature; a change to the way the service is funded or operated; or to make the wording clearer or fairer.

For a material change, we will normally give at least 30 days' notice by email or a prominent in-game message, explain what is changing and require you to accept the new version explicitly before it governs your continued account use. We will not treat silence or use before the effective date as acceptance, and changes will not apply retrospectively. If you decline, you may export your saves and close your account before the new terms take effect.

Minor corrections, clarifications and changes that only benefit users may take effect when posted. Urgent legal or security changes may take effect on shorter notice, but we will notify you as soon as reasonably possible and request any explicit acceptance required by law.

10. General

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, but that choice does not deprive you of mandatory consumer protections that apply in the country where you live. The courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction. Where applicable consumer law gives you the right to do so, you may bring a claim in your local courts under your local mandatory law, and we will bring proceedings against you only in the courts of the country where you live.

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. Questions or complaints can be sent to jason@cricket-manager.co; contacting us does not limit your right to seek another remedy.
