The Gabbattoir

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: 18 November 2025

Welcome to The Gabbattoir, a lovingly hand-crafted cricket-prediction game created by a small band of enthusiasts. By using this website ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms.

1. Who We Are

The Gabbattoir is operated by The Gabbattoir Team, an informal unincorporated group.

For all enquiries:

📧 [email protected]

2. Using the Service

You agree not to:

  • hack, tamper with, or disrupt the Service;
  • upload anything abusive or defamatory;
  • copy, reverse-engineer, or otherwise disembowel our scoring system;
  • run commercial services through the platform without permission.

We reserve the right to suspend access for misuse.

3. Who Can Play

Everyone is welcome.

If you're under 16, please ensure a parent or guardian knows you're here.

4. Predictions, Scoring & Prizes

The Gabbattoir is a game of skill, interpretation, judgment and weather forecasting.

We do our best to operate the game fairly, but:

  • rules may evolve;
  • scoring decisions are final;
  • match data may sometimes lag or glitch;
  • the site is not guaranteed to be online 24/7.

Prizes

From time to time depending on how generous we are feeling we may award physical trophies to winners.

  • Free to enter
  • No purchase necessary
  • No cash value and no cash alternative
  • Awarded entirely at our discretion

The Gabbattoir is not a gambling service, competition platform, or commercial prize draw.

5. Intellectual Property

Everything on the site (text, rules, commentary, branding, scoring and general weirdness) belongs to The Gabbattoir Team.

You may not copy or republish material without permission.

Your predictions stay yours, but by submitting them you allow us to use them to operate and improve the game.

6. Limits of Liability

We try very hard, but we can't promise:

  • uninterrupted service;
  • error-free operation;
  • perfect match data;
  • eternal preservation of your hard-earned points or trophies.

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss of data, missed points, leaderboard humiliation, or any indirect or consequential losses.

Nothing excludes liability we cannot legally exclude (e.g., fraud).

7. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Significant changes will be announced on the site.

8. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England & Wales.

Disputes go to the courts of England & Wales.
