4. SRI will send newsletters at the above mentioned time but is not responsible for technical problems in transmission to the user or general internet routing problems.
5. Ratings will be calculated and sent after the fourth round of each championship for the first time. A calculation is only done when more than half of the scheduled games of a round are or have actually been played. Postponed games are considered after they actually were played.
6. A subscription period starts after SRI receives a fully completed application form from the user. This form must contain all data marked (*).
7. Subscription starts when monies arrive at SRI´s bank account. An earlier start of delivery is possible if the subscriber makes his payment believable.

Users who are in proven breach of these rules will be excluded from the service without any title for refunds.
11. For this purpose, SRI is entitled to alter the individual rating of a team by the value “1”. This equals 0,05% of the average rating of 2000 and is irrelevant for assessing a pick. It does though identify the individual user to whom it was sent.
12. T&C stay valid as on the day of the respective payment.
13. Forwarding and publication of ratings and selections are allowed, but the correct web address of the SRI homepage has to be cited at the same time.

16. Changes of T&C are valid immediately.
17. SRI calculates ratings which mirror the form of football clubs in accordance with the formula used. The result of football games though is also dependend on other determinants such as missing players, home/away strength, motivation, referee decisions or even weather conditions. These determinantes are not considered by the ratings. SRI recommends to limit the money you spend on Toto, price draws, betting, fantasy league competitons etc. to an amount you can easily afford to lose without affecting your living standard, obligations or liabilities. Do not bet when betting is illegal in your country! Watching football games also is interesting when no money is involved or at stake. SRI does not have any kind of influence for which purpose the ratings are used.
18. User validates and confirms that he is observing all laws and regulations of his home and country of residence when using SRI´s banners, links and all other content.
