First Edition – March 2025
Terms & Conditions
These terms (“Terms of Use”) govern the access and use of the Fantaracing® app (“Platform” or “App”), the Fantaracing website (www.fantaracing.com), and related services (“Services”) as better specified below. Fantaracing is provided by Fantaracing S.r.l. (VAT No. 13330000962), headquartered at Via Eliseo Vismara 78, Bollate 20021 - Milan (“Fantaracing” or the “Company”).
Whether the user (“User”) intends to use the Services offered or accesses the Platform incidentally, they are invited to review the Terms of Use.
1. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
1.1 The User’s continued presence on the Platform, even due to incidental access, constitutes full acceptance of the provisions set forth herein.
1.2 Fantaracing reserves the right to modify or update these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, at any time by publishing the new version on the Platform. Such modifications will take effect only upon publication. Fantaracing recommends that the User regularly review the contents of the Terms of Use.
2. PLATFORM AND ITS FUNCTIONING
2.1 Fantaracing® allows the User to access the following Services:
- Create a personal account valid for using the Fantaracing® platform (“Account”);
- Play the Fantaracing® game by registering in one of the leagues created through the dedicated App.
2.2 Fantaracing®: the app allows the User to create gaming groups (called “leagues”) in which they can participate and invite other users—freely or by invitation. Each league consists of multiple teams created by participating Users. To use the Fantaracing® App, the registration of an Account is required.
2.3 The use of the App's services is free in its standard version and does not require any contribution from Users. However, banner or interstitial advertisements may appear during navigation on the website or the App.
2.4 To use the App, the User must access the pages of online Stores (such as Play Store and App Store), download it, and install it on their device.
2.5 Regarding individual leagues within the Fantaracing® App, any agreements concerning their operation, participation requirements, and potential final prizes are at the sole discretion of the Users participating in them. Compliance with such agreements is entrusted to the league administrator, who is the only entity that can intervene to ensure fair play within the league. No claims or complaints may be raised against Fantaracing.
2.6 Since each league operates within the Fantaracing® App owned by Fantaracing S.r.l., in the event of any violation under Article 6 – User Obligations and Responsibilities, Fantaracing reserves the right to take any necessary action to protect its rights, including deleting the leagues where such violations occur and the accounts responsible for the violations.
3. NAVIGATION
3.1 Navigation within the App and the Fantaracing® website is freely permitted to anyone.
3.2 When accessing and using the App’s Services—including viewing pages, sending communications, or making requests through the provided addresses or forms (collectively, “Content”)—the User must comply with applicable regulations as well as the rights of Fantaracing and third parties (e.g., Fantaracing’s commercial partners).
3.4 Fantaracing reserves the right to pursue any unauthorized use of the App and its Content.
3.5 Specifically, when accessing the Platform, the User must refrain from:
- Using software programs or other automatic or manual mechanisms to copy or access Platform pages or their Content (including scraping systems) without written authorization from Fantaracing or the third-party owner;
- Taking actions that could cause an unreasonable overload of the Platform’s technological infrastructure or Fantaracing’s IT systems;
- Copying, reproducing, altering, modifying, or distributing Content without express written authorization from Fantaracing or the intellectual property rights holder;
- Using mechanisms, software, or processes that could interfere with the proper functioning of the Platform;
- Circumventing tools designed to exclude automated search engine systems (robots) or other procedures adopted by Fantaracing to prevent or limit access to the Platform or its sections.
3.6 Barring force majeure as per Article 10, Fantaracing reminds the User that the App is provided “as is” and therefore:
- Its operation may be subject to interruptions or errors due to internet connection issues or malfunctions. In case of any issues while using the Platform, the User should contact their Internet Service Provider and ensure all Internet connection equipment—including the browser software—is fully operational.
- Fantaracing may modify, suspend, or discontinue some functions related to the Services for technical or organizational reasons.
- The Services may not meet the User’s expectations.
4. ADDITIONAL INTERACTIONS REQUIRING USER DATA
4.1 During navigation in the App, upon filling out dedicated data collection forms, the User may interact with Fantaracing by accessing additional services (“Additional Services”), such as:
- Submitting job applications;
- Requesting information;
- Creating and using a Standard Account to access the Fantaracing.com website and the Fantaracing® App.
Fantaracing may introduce new Additional Services in the App over time. Users are encouraged to adhere to the terms specified in Section 4.2.

- Review the privacy policy related to the requested Service;
- Grant or deny consent for additional data processing beyond what is necessary for Service execution.

5. PROFILE REGISTRATION
5.1 To access the App’s features, the User must create a personal profile by selecting the “Continue with (Apple, Google, or email)” icon in the App and choosing a username. Before accessing the main screen (“Home”), the User will be asked to grant or deny consent for receiving push notifications and promotional material.
5.2 The email used for registration serves as the sole credential for profile access. As such, it is strictly personal, and the User is advised to keep it confidential.
If registering via a federated authentication service (such as Apple, Google, or similar), the registration implies acceptance of the policies and terms of use of the selected federated service, along with the sharing of limited information necessary for profile creation within the App. The User understands that the processing of personal data provided through the federated authentication service is subject to the provider’s privacy policy.
