- Shooters' name, category and results are shown publicly on the TV screen, the standings, the final sheet, the Interclub overall standings and, if the Club enables it, on the HeliceX portal.
- The Service has a shooters directory shared among clubs: when registering with their ID number, the name and category remain available to automatically fill in future registrations at any club that uses the Service.
- In an Interclub, the results of each round are shared with the other participating clubs to build the overall standings.
- The registration, TV, judges' and standings links can be opened by anyone who receives them. The Club decides who it shares them with.

9. Service availability
- The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". HeliceX does not guarantee that it will work without interruption, delays or errors.
- The Service depends on the internet, on each User's devices and on third-party services (Google/Firebase, Netlify, Mercado Pago, PayPal), over which HeliceX has no control.

11. Intellectual property
- The Service, its code, design, the "HeliceX" brand, logos, flyer templates and images are the property of HeliceX or its licensors. The subscription grants the Club a personal, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use it while it is in force.

- Flyers generated with the Service may include the caption "Made with HeliceX · helicex.com".
12. Suspension, termination and fate of the data

- HeliceX may suspend or cancel an account if the Club does not pay, breaches these Terms, uses the Service illegally or puts the security of the Service or of other clubs at risk.
- During the 30 days after termination or expiry, the Club may request a copy of its data. After that period, HeliceX may permanently delete it.
- Results already published in other clubs' Interclubs may be kept so as not to alter their standings.
13. Changes to the Terms
HeliceX may modify these Terms. Changes will be published at helicex.com/terminos and notified to the Club within the App at least 15 days in advance. If the Club keeps using the Service after that date, it is understood to accept the new version. If it does not agree, it may close its account as provided in clause 12.
14. Governing law, jurisdiction and contact
- These Terms are governed by the laws of the Argentine Republic.
- In case of any dispute, the parties will first try to resolve it in good faith. If they cannot, they submit to the ordinary courts of the city of Rosario, province of Santa Fe, waiving any other jurisdiction.
- For clubs in other countries, the applicable data protection rules will also apply (for example, the GDPR in the European Union or the LGPD in Brazil).
- If any clause is declared invalid, the rest of the Terms will remain in force.
- This English version is a translation. In case of any discrepancy, the Spanish version prevails.
