INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS 1.1 Subject Matter and Scope These General Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs” or “GTC”) govern the rights and obligations between WinningEdge Limited (hereinafter “WinningEdge”, “Provider”, “we” or “us”) and you (“Customer”, “you”) in connection with the use of the services we provide (“Services”). The Services are predominantly offered via the website winningedge.io (hereinafter “Website”), but may also be provided through other channels. 1.2 Conclusion of Contract ● By registering on our website, creating a user account, or using the Services for the first time (unless separate registration is required), you accept these T&Cs. ● These T&Cs apply equally to consumers and businesses unless explicitly stated otherwise or required by law. 1.3 Age Requirement and Geographic Restrictions ● Our Services are exclusively aimed at persons who are at least 18 years old. By registering, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old. ● Furthermore, you represent that you reside in a country where the Services are legally permitted. 1.4 Exclusion of Certain Users We reserve the right to deny access to users or to restrict or block existing access if: ● they are nationals of a country listed in our Restricted List, ● there has been a violation of applicable law or official regulations, ● international sanctions are in effect, ● there is a relevant criminal record (e.g., in the area of financial crimes or terrorism). 1.5 Simulation Environment (Not Gambling) The Services we offer include, in particular, simulated sports betting or prop-betting, analysis and training tools, statistical evaluations as well as a demo trading area (“Demo Bets”). None of your stakes involve real money; only virtual amounts are used. A gain or loss always refers to this virtual balance, unless explicitly stated otherwise. 1.5.1 Training Purpose and No Management of Customer Funds The Services we offer are exclusively for training, educational, and simulation purposes. All fees incurred – including any challenge fees – are solely charged as payment for access to training materials, coaching sessions, statistical evaluations, and other training resources. There is no management, receipt, or use of third-party funds in the context of real betting or gambling operations. 1.6 No Betting or Gambling Advice ● Our services do not constitute gambling or licensed bookmaker services. ● We do not provide individual betting or investment recommendations. ● Statements by employees that you might interpret as recommendations are not to be regarded as binding advice, and liability for them is expressly excluded. 1.7 Data Protection The processing of your personal data is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully; you can find it on our website under “[Link]”. 1.8 Language of the Contract The contract language is English. Other language versions are provided for your information only. 1.9 Right of Withdrawal for Consumers If you are a consumer (as defined by the consumer law applicable in your country), a 14-day right of withdrawal applies in accordance with section 14.3. However, please note that this right of withdrawal may lapse prematurely once you actively begin using our paid service (e.g., placing the first demo bet) and have given us your prior consent to an early commencement of performance. 2. SERVICES AND THEIR SEQUENCE 2.1 Description of Service ● Our Services include analytical tools, training and educational materials (e.g., video tutorials, webinars), access to customer support, and possibly other accompanying services. In addition, we enable the placement of demo bets in a simulated environment, which is intended solely for learning, practice, and strategy testing. These Services are typically provided in the form of applications (web apps or third-party tools). 2.2 Free Trial and Paid Variants ● We may offer a time-limited free trial (“Free Trial”) that grants you restricted access to certain features. ● The free trial is solely intended for familiarizing yourself with the platform and obtaining an initial overview of the effect of a new strategy. A free trial period can never be converted into a paid challenge. Only one trial account may be active in parallel at any time. 2.3 Prerequisites and Information ● All information you provide (name, e-mail, payment details, etc.) must be complete, correct, and up-to-date. ● If you are a business (e.g., if you provide a VAT ID), consumer protection regulations do not apply or only to a limited extent. 2.4 Responsibility for Technical Equipment You are solely responsible for having the necessary hardware (computer, smartphone, etc.) and software (operating system, browser, etc.) to be able to use our Services. 2.5 No Legal Claim We reserve the right to reject orders or revoke registrations if there is an objective reason (e.g., doubts about identity, violation of section 1.4). 2.6 Changes to Services, Parameters, and Conditions We reserve the right to change the functionality, parameter configuration (e.g., requirements for the challenge), or service content insofar as this is reasonable for you. If such changes require an adjustment of the T&Cs, the procedure in section 16.1 shall apply. 3. PAYMENT CONDITIONS 3.1 Fees and Charges ● The fees (“Fee”) for the paid offerings (WinningEdge Challenge, possible upgrades, etc.) are displayed in Euros or in a foreign currency specified on the website. In the case of payment in a foreign currency, the customer bears the conversion costs. ● The fee amount depends on factors such as the chosen virtual starting capital, risk parameters, and other options. 3.2 Due Date and Payment Methods ● Payment is due immediately unless we explicitly grant a different payment term. ● Permitted payment methods: credit card, SEPA transfer, PayPal, Stripe, or other methods indicated on the website. 3.3 No Claim for Refund ● In the event of an early termination of the Challenge or non-compliance with the requirements, there is no claim to (proportional) refund unless statutory consumer protection rules intervene or the blocking is not attributable to our fault. ● If you initiate unjustified chargebacks, your access may be blocked (see sections 5.4, 10.1). 3.4 Taxes ● All prices include any applicable taxes (e.g., VAT), unless stated otherwise. ● Businesses are responsible for the correct taxation of their revenues. 3.5 Training and Challenge Fees ● The fees charged for participating in our challenges are to be understood as payment for training, coaching, and evaluation services. These fees do not constitute a stake in the context of betting activities and are not to be interpreted as a “buy-in”. All payments are made solely to cover the costs of providing educational materials, evaluations, and additional training resources. 4. CUSTOMER AREA AND TRADING PLATFORM 4.1 Customer Account ● Upon successful registration, you will receive access to the customer area. There you can view your booked Services, manage personal data, and, if applicable, use the simulated trading/betting platform. ● Only you personally or your authorized employees (in the case of legal entities) may access the account. 4.2 Access Data ● Your login data (username, password) must be treated confidentially. ● You are liable for all activities in your account. 4.3 Technical Availability ● We strive to ensure the smooth use of our Services, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability (maintenance, updates, force majeure, etc.). ● In the event of unforeseen disruptions, there is no claim to damages or refunds, unless legally mandated. 4.4 Use of External Platforms/Third Parties ● If we provide you with login data for a third-party platform (e.g., a specific demo trading software or payment provider), the T&Cs of that third party additionally apply. ● We are not liable for functions, outages, or data protection violations of these external services. 4.5 Limitation of Demo Capital ● The use of our demo platform is subject to a maximum limit for the accumulated demo capital per participant. Regardless of the number of challenges conducted in parallel or consecutively, the total balance of all activ demo funds must not exceed EUR 100,000 (or the corresponding equivalent in another currency). If a participant reaches or exceeds this limit, we reserve the right to decline additional challenges or to reduce or close existing demo balances (virtual accounts). There is no claim to an extension of this limit. 5. RULES FOR DEMO TRADING 5.1 General Use ● Within our simulation environment (“Demo Bets”), you can place virtual bets on sports events or other markets. ● You are responsible for employing serious and market-standard strategies and adhering to the guidelines (in particular, risk management, maximum losses, etc.). 5.2 No Real Stakes ● All stakes in our demo environment are fictitious. A “win” in our system does not entitle you to real money, unless it is converted in whole or in part into compensation as part of the Analyst Program (section 7). 5.3 Prohibited Practices The following actions are prohibited: ● Exploiting pricing or odds errors (“Pricing Errors”) or delays, ● Using external or delayed data feeds to gain unfair advantages, ● Collusive or coordinated actions between multiple accounts, ● The use of software, bots, or AI to enter bets in high frequency or automated fashion if aimed at manipulation, ● Any method that could financially harm us or third parties or that violates their terms of use. 5.4 Consequences of Violations ● We may block suspicious transactions (e.g., unusual patterns), close accounts, and cancel already earned virtual gains if abuse appears plausible. ● In cases of massive or repeated violations, a permanent block as well as possible legal action (see sections 11, 13) may ensue. 5.5 Risk Disclosure ● Sports and financial markets are volatile; even in the simulation, virtual losses can occur. Success in the demo world does not guarantee future profits in the real world. ● We assume no liability for actual bets placed with third parties, even if you have used our analyses or tools. 6. WINNINGEDGE CHALLENGES AND VERIFICATION 6.1 Activation and Duration ● After payment of the corresponding fee, you receive access to the demo platform. The WinningEdge Challenge begins with your first placed demo bet. ● If you do not start the challenge within 30 calendar days after receiving the access data, the access will be blocked. You may apply for reactivation within 6 months; otherwise, the claim expires without refund. 6.2 Challenge Requirements To pass the WinningEdge Challenge, all of the following conditions must be met simultaneously: Minimum number of demo bets, Daily loss limit not exceeded (e.g., a maximum of 10% of the starting capital), Overall loss limit not exceeded (e.g., 15% of the starting capital), Achieving a minimum profit (e.g., 20% of the starting capital). 6.3 Verification after Successful Challenge ● If you pass the Challenge (all requirements met, no violations), you will gain free access to the Verification phase. ● The Verification must be started within 30 days after activation (first demo bet). Otherwise, a block will occur with similar reactivation periods as in the Challenge. 6.4 Verification Requirements The same conditions as in section 6.2 (minimum number of bets, loss limits, minimum profit, etc.) apply unless stated otherwise. 6.5 Failure of the Challenge/Verification If any condition is violated during the period (e.g., exceeding the loss limit), the respective stage is considered failed. ● There is no further claim to a repeat or refund unless another agreement has been made. 6.6 Challenge Change A subsequent change (e.g., change of the chosen starting capital) is not possible. If you desire different parameters, a new challenge must be booked. 6.7 Discretionary Reservation Even after successful Verification, there is no automatic legal claim to be admitted to the further Analyst Program. 6.8 Training and Challenge Conditions Our challenges are solely for training and validation of the participants’ analytical skills. ● Simulated Environment: The challenges are conducted exclusively with virtual capital, with no real funds being used or managed. ● Purpose of the Participation Fee: The fee you pay grants access to comprehensive training resources such as educational materials, detailed statistics, and coaching calls. It is to be understood as payment for training and evaluation services and does not constitute a stake for real betting activities. ● Procedure in the Event of Failure: Should a challenge (or verification) not be passed or a defined loss limit be exceeded, a new participation – along with the corresponding fee – is required. ● Access to Training Resources after a Failed Challenge: If a challenge is not passed, access to placing further demo bets within the current challenge is automatically deactivated. Notwithstanding this, you retain unrestricted access to all accompanying training resources, including detailed statistics, evaluations, and – depending on the respective challenge – access to individual coaching offers such as mental or performance coaching. These offers are intended to help you improve your analytical skills and learn from the failure. 7. WINNINGEDGE ANALYST AND REWARD 7.1 Admission to the Analyst Program ● After successfully completing the Challenge and Verification, there is the possibility that you will be offered admission to the “WinningEdge Analyst Program” within the framework of a successful contract agreement with detailed further conditions. Admission is made by mutual agreement and confirmation of the contractual arrangements. 7.2 Reward Model ● If you achieve a virtual profit (“Profit”) in the demo environment within the Analyst Program, a percentage (e.g., 70% or 80%) may be paid out to you as real compensation (“Reward”). ● The exact rates and conditions (e.g., billing cycles, minimum payout) will be explained in separate guidelines or in the customer area. 7.3 Legal Nature ● The Analyst Program does not create an employment relationship. You act independently or as a freelance contractor. ● You are solely responsible for any tax obligations (income tax, VAT, etc.). 7.4 Invoicing and Payout ● A “Reward” is only paid out if you invoice properly (invoice to us or possibly via self-billing procedure) and fulfill all compliance requirements. ● As soon as manipulations or prohibited practices are detected, the corresponding compensation claim retroactively lapses. 7.5 No Guarantee A positive virtual profit in the demo environment cannot be guaranteed. Past good performance is not a reliable indication of future success. 7.6 Quality-Based Compensation of the Analyses Compensation within the WinningEdge Analyst Program is based solely on the quality and performance of the analyses provided by the participants. ● No Link to Real Betting Stakes: The payout of Rewards (compensation) is not based on actual wins or losses of real bets, but solely on the evaluation of analysis quality. ● Exclusive Company Financing: Any payouts are made exclusively from the company’s own funds and not from customer funds. ● No Gambling Component: As neither third-party funds are received nor managed as betting media, there is no gambling character. 7.7 Exclusion for Breach of Loss Limits in the Analyst Program For each individual account participating in the Analyst Program, a violation of the established loss limits – analogous to the guidelines defined in the Challenge and Verification conditions – will result in the immediate exclusion of that account from the program. This exclusion occurs without any claim to a refund or any other compensation and serves to protect the integrity of the Analyst Program. Multiple accounts may be managed independently within the Analyst Program; a violation by one account affects only that account, and all claims to future Rewards for the affected account are forfeited. 8. USE AND PROCESSING OF YOUR DEMO DATA 8.1 Data Access WinningEdge has insight into your demo bets, transactions, and statistics. This also includes all relevant parameters (timing, stake amount, etc.). 8.2 Purpose of Data Use ● We use these data for internal analysis purposes (e.g., improvement of our tools, statistics). ● We may share certain aggregated or anonymized data with affiliated companies or partners. 8.3 No Additional Compensation If we use insights from your demo trades to operate in the real market ourselves, you are not entitled to additional profit participation apart from any rights from the Analyst Program in accordance with section 7. 8.4 Data Protection Further details on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy. 9. USE OF THE WEBSITE, THE SERVICES, AND CONTENT 9.1 Copyright and Industrial Property Rights ● All content published on the website (texts, logos, graphics, videos, etc.) is protected by copyright or other rights and is the property of WinningEdge or licensors. ● You are granted only a simple, revocable right of use for personal purposes. 9.2 Prohibited Uses You may not copy, modify, distribute, or make content publicly available unless permitted by law or granted in writing by us. 9.3 Obligations of Conduct ● You may not use any technical measures to circumvent security mechanisms or damage the platform. ● Any automated data collection (scraping, crawling) is prohibited without consent. 9.4 Violation and Consequences In the event of violations of these regulations, we reserve the right to take civil and criminal action as well as to block your account. 9.5 Data and Results from Third Parties 9.5.1 Effort to Ensure Correct Evaluation We make every effort, to the best of our knowledge and belief, to accurately reflect all demo bets, forecasts, and evaluations on our platform. This particularly includes the determination of results, statistics, and analyses. 9.5.2 No Guarantee for Third-Party Data Some of the information displayed in our demo environment (e.g., scores, odds, live data) may be provided by external third parties. Although we proceed carefully in selecting and cooperating with such third parties, we do not guarantee that all data are complete, correct, and current at all times. 9.5.3 Disclaimer of Liability We exclude any liability for direct or indirect damages arising from erroneous, incomplete, or delayed third-party data, insofar as legally permissible. This particularly applies in cases where incorrect entries, disruptions, technical failures, or delays by third parties lead to incorrect results or statistics in the demo environment. 9.5.4 Participants’ Own Responsibility Participants acknowledge that discrepancies between displayed demo values and real (external) data are possible. Decisions made based on our demo environment are at your own risk; no claims for actual gains, refunds, damages, or similar can be derived from any data errors. 10. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 10.1 Principle The use of our Services is at your own risk (“as is”). We assume no liability for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the content, insofar as legally permissible. 10.2 Limitation of Liability ● For damages resulting from injury to life, body, or health, for intent or gross negligence, and under mandatory legal provisions (e.g., Product Liability Act), we are liable without limitation. ● In cases of slight negligence, we are liable only for breaches of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations) and limited to the typical, foreseeable damage under the contract. ● Any further liability for indirect damages, consequential damages, or lost profits is – insofar as legally permissible – excluded. 10.3 External Services and Links We are not liable for services or content of third parties that are linked via our website or whose tools (e.g., external trading platforms) we recommend. 10.4 Exclusion of Success Guarantees We do not guarantee any particular success, neither for demo bets nor for a possible Analyst Program. 10.5 Employee Statements Should statements by employees or support staff be understood as recommendations, this is done without liability on the part of WinningEdge. 11.

PLACE OF JURISDICTION AND APPLICABLE LAW 14.1 Choice of Law The law of the state in which WinningEdge Limited has its registered office applies. For contracts with consumers within the European Union, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection granted by mandatory consumer protection regulations. 14.2 Jurisdiction ● If you are a merchant or a legal entity under public law, the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes is the registered office of WinningEdge. ● As a consumer, you may choose to sue either at your place of residence or at the registered office of WinningEdge. 14.3 Right of Withdrawal for Consumers (1) Right of Withdrawal You have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The period begins at the conclusion of the contract (i.e., as soon as we have accepted your order/registration). (2) Exceptions The right of withdrawal may lapse if, with your explicit consent, we begin the service before the end of the withdrawal period and you confirm that you lose your right of withdrawal as soon as we fully perform the service or you actively use it (e.g., place the first demo bet). (3) Form of Withdrawal To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (WinningEdge) of your decision by means of a clear statement (e.g., by e-mail).

We will point out this legal consequence in the notice of change. ● In the event of timely objection, we may terminate the contract extraordinarily. 16.2 Severability Clause Should individual provisions of these T&Cs be invalid, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The parties shall replace the invalid provision with a valid one that comes closest to its economic purpose. 16.3 No Waiver Our failure to insist on the strict observance of individual provisions does not constitute a general waiver of the corresponding rights. 16.4 Prohibition of Assignment Rights and obligations arising from this contract may not be assigned or transferred to third parties without our written consent. 16.5 Entire Agreement These T&Cs contain all agreements between the contracting parties regarding the subject matter of the contract.
