          2.2.    Restrictions on Use of GotSport Software and Services. Your Agreement does not grant you: (a) any right to reproduce, modify, distribute, or publicly display or perform the GotSport Software and Services, or (b) any other right to the GotSport Software and Services not specifically set forth therein. You agree that you will not use the GotSport Software and Services for, or on behalf of, third parties that are not authorized to use the GotSport Software pursuant to your Agreement.  You shall not directly, indirectly, alone, or with a third party: (c) allow unauthorized third parties to access or exploit the GotSport Software and Services; (d) provide GotSport Software system passwords or other log-in information to any unauthorized third party; (e) share non-public GotSport Software features or content with any unauthorized third party; (f) commercially exploit or access the GotSport Software to build a competitive product or service; (g) bypass, circumvent, or breach any security device, protection measure, or access control system of the GotSport Software; or (h) authorize any person or third party to do any of the foregoing.

   2.4.     Code of Conduct. You agree not to use the GotSport Software and Services in any way that violates our “Code of Conduct,” including in a manner that:

GotSoccer reserves the right to determine the appropriate consequences based on the severity and frequency of the violation.

           2.5.    Account Administrator. You shall designate one or more persons who will act as Account Administrator/Primary Contact (the “Account Administrator”) concerning your account, expressly authorized as your agent to manage your account and serve as your primary point of contact for day-to-day communications.  If an Account Administrator is unavailable or is unable to fulfill their duties, you agree to designate a replacement Account Administrator promptly. At all times during the duration of these Terms, you will ensure that there is at least one Account Administrator designated for your account. You agree and understand that each Account Administrator will be provided with certain administrative privileges concerning your account that other users will not have, including, without limitation, configuring administration settings, assigning access and use authorization for Authorized Users, requesting different or additional services, managing templates, executing approved campaigns and events, assisting in third-party product integrations, authorizing End Users, and accepting notices, disclosures, and terms of service.  The Account Administrator, in the context of your internal operations, shall be solely responsible for authorizing, issuing, and deauthorizing Authorized Users, administering security profiles of Authorized Users, and inputting data regarding the Authorized Users.  You agree to conduct regular reviews, at least annually, of the list of Account Administrators and Authorized Users to ensure that access rights are current and appropriate to each user’s role and responsibilities. You shall promptly modify access rights as necessary, including in response to personnel changes or changes in job functions.

          2.6.    Use of GotSport Software by Account Administrators and Authorized Users. You may allow your Account Administrators and Authorized Users to use the GotSport Software and Services solely for the purpose described in your Agreement or these Terms.  You are responsible for all acts and failures of your Account Administrators and Authorized Users and for their compliance with these Terms.  You will promptly terminate the login credentials of any Account Administrator or Authorized User who: (a) ceases to be engaged by you as an employee, agent, or independent contractor; (b) you no longer wish to have access to the GotSport Software and Services for any reason; or (c) you know or reasonably believe is causing you to breach any provision of your Agreement, these Terms, or is in any way misusing the GotSport Software and Services.  GotSoccer shall have no responsibility or liability for any damage or loss caused by your failure to deauthorize an Account Administrator or Authorized User or for any act or failure to act by an Account Administrator or Authorized User, and you agree to hold GotSoccer harmless for the same.

           2.7.    Usernames and Passwords. A unique email address and username shall identify each Account Administrator or Authorized User, and two or more natural persons may not use the GotSport Software under the same user. You are responsible for maintaining: (a) the confidentiality of all usernames and passwords of Account Administrators and Authorized Users used to access the GotSport Software; (b) managing Account Administrators and Authorized Users’ access to your account; and (c) the actions of the Account Administrators and Authorized Users, and their compliance with your Agreement and these Terms.

          2.8.    Maintenance of GotSport Software and Services.  GotSoccer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make any changes to the GotSport Software and Services that it deems necessary or useful to (a) maintain or enhance (i) the quality or delivery of the GotSport Software and Services to its customers; (ii) the competitive strength of or market for the GotSport Software and Services; (iii) the GotSport Software and Services’ cost efficiency or performance; or (b) to comply with applicable law.

           2.9.    Feedback License. You hereby grant GotSoccer a non-exclusive, irrevocable, worldwide license to use any Feedback Customer communicates to GotSoccer during the term of your Agreement, without compensation, without any obligation to report on such use, and without any other restriction, provided that such use does not infringe upon your intellectual property rights or disclose your confidential information.   GotSoccer’s rights granted in the previous sentence include, without limitation, the right to use Feedback to enhance or modify the GotSport Software.  Notwithstanding Section 7 (Confidential Information), Feedback will not be considered your Confidential Information or trade secret.

          2.10.     Publicity.  During the duration of these Terms, each party hereby grants the other party a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license to use the other’s approved logos in connection with customer-facing marketing materials and as necessary to perform any other obligations set forth herein.  You agree that GotSoccer may promote the use of the GotSport Software to your Member Organizations and the general public and use your logos for such purpose.  You agree that GotSoccer may publicly use the term “Official Software provider to (Customer name)” or other similar language mutually agreed upon by the parties and use your logo for such purpose.  You agree to promote GotSoccer as the “Official Software Provider to (Name),” or other similar language mutually agreed upon by the parties, on your website and use GotSoccer’s logo for such purpose.

          2.11.     Payment of GotSport Software Fees. In the event your GotSport Software and Services Agreement provides for GotSport Software Fees payable by your End Users, you agree that if your End Users fail to pay any such GotSport Software Fee, GotSoccer will invoice you for such fees, and all amounts due shall be paid within thirty days following receipt of such invoice. You acknowledge and agree that GotSport Software Fees compensate GotSoccer for Customer’s access to and use of the activated GotSport Software modules, independent of whether Customer elects to charge its End Users.  If payment is not received within the period set forth above, GotSoccer may suspend access to the GotSport Software and Services until payment is received.  GotSoccer will make reasonable efforts to provide you with notice before suspending access to the GotSport Software and Services due to non-payment, but reserves the right to suspend service immediately in cases of repeated late payment or other material breaches.

                      2.11.1.  Tryout Registrations. As a courtesy, GotSoccer does not charge a GotSport Software Fee on Tryout Registrations, on the understanding that Customer processes the associated player and program registrations through the GotSport Software. If Customer uses Tryout Registrations without processing the associated paid registrations through the GotSport Software (whether by processing those registrations on a competing platform or by not processing them through the GotSport Software at all), GotSoccer reserves the right to charge the Minimum Software Fee for each such Tryout Registration, which GotSoccer will invoice to Customer, and such use may also constitute a breach of Section 2.12 (Exclusivity Restrictions).

                    2.11.2.  Minimum Software Fee.  For each registration that is not a Tryout Registration, the applicable GotSport Software Fee applies on a per-registration basis, whether or not the End User is charged or a payment transaction occurs.  The amount of the fee is (a) the amount set forth in your Agreement, whether default or custom pricing, or (b) if your Agreement does not specify a fee, or you have no Agreement with us, the Minimum Software Fee.

If your Agreement charges the GotSport Software Fee to the End User, that fee is collected from the End User. Where no fee is collected for a registration because it is free or the End User is not charged, Customer is responsible for the Minimum Software Fee for that registration. As a further courtesy, GotSoccer will not charge the Minimum Software Fee on such a free registration where Customer otherwise processes its associated paid registrations through the GotSport Software, and reserves the right to charge it only where Customer processes those associated paid registrations on a competing platform or does not process them through the GotSport Software at all, as described in Section 2.11.1 for Tryout Registrations.

If your Agreement bills fees to Customer, Customer pays the applicable fee for each registration directly.

Nothing in this Section increases or overrides the pricing set forth in your Agreement. The parties agree that the Minimum Software Fee reflects the value of platform access and a reasonable estimate of GotSoccer’s cost of providing the module, and not a penalty.

         2.12. Exclusivity Restrictions. During the Term of your Agreement and these Terms, you agree that you will not, directly or indirectly: (a) Use, license, or contract with any competing software platform that provides substantially similar sports program management, registration, tournament management, or league management services as those provided by the GotSport Software and Services; (b) Promote or endorse any competitor by displaying competitor logos, providing links to competitor platforms, or otherwise directing End Users to alternative software solutions; (c) Integrate or embed competitor software into your operations, website, or systems in a manner that would substitute for or compete with the GotSport Software and Services; (d) Allow Member Organizations to use competitor platforms for activities that could be performed using the GotSport Software and Services, including but not limited to player registration, tournament registration, league management, or event scheduling.

               2.12.1. Permitted Activities. The restrictions in Section 2.12 do not prohibit you from: (a) Using general-purpose software tools (such as accounting software, email platforms, or website builders) that do not directly compete with the core functionality of the GotSport Software; (b) Using specialized tools for activities not covered by the GotSport Software, provided such tools do not duplicate or replace GotSport functionality; (c) Maintaining existing relationships with service providers for non-software services (such as field maintenance, equipment suppliers, or general administrative services).

               2.12.2. Breach and Remedies. You acknowledge that any violation of the exclusivity restrictions in Section 2.12 would cause irreparable harm to GotSoccer for which monetary damages would be inadequate. Therefore, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, GotSoccer shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief to enforce these exclusivity provisions without the requirement of posting a bond.

                2.12.3  Suspension and Fee for Exclusivity Breach.

                    (a) Suspension of Access.  If Customer breaches the exclusivity provisions outlined in Section 2.12 of these Terms, or if Customer terminates or fails to renew this Agreement while continuing to access any component of the GotSport Software, GotSoccer may, in its sole discretion and without liability, immediately suspend or disable Customer’s access to any or all modules of the GotSport Software, including but not limited to the Program Registration Software.

(b) Exclusivity Breach Fee. GotSoccer may invoice Customer an exclusivity breach fee calculated as follows, based on the total volume of transactions processed through the GotSport Software during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the breach (or, if Customer has been using the GotSport Software for less than twelve months, an annualized estimate as reasonably determined by GotSoccer based on available data):

                   (i) Program Registrations: Two times (2X) the applicable per-transaction GotSport Software Fee, multiplied by the total number of program registration transactions processed during the applicable period;

                   (ii) League Management: Two times (2X) the applicable minimum per-team GotSport Software Fee (or, where the fee is calculated as a percentage of registration fees, two times the average per-team fee collected), multiplied by the total number of team registrations in Customer-hosted leagues during the applicable period;

                    (iii) Tournament/Event Management: Two times (2X) the applicable minimum per-team GotSport Software Fee (or, where the fee is calculated as a percentage of registration fees, two times the average per-team fee collected), multiplied by the total number of team registrations in Customer-hosted tournaments or events during the applicable period

(c) Cumulative Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 2.12.3 are cumulative and may be exercised individually, concurrently, or in any combination. Exercise of one remedy shall not preclude GotSoccer from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement, these Terms, or applicable law, including but not limited to seeking injunctive relief under Section 2.12.2. Customer agrees that GotSoccer’s actual damages from an exclusivity breach are difficult to ascertain at the time of entering into this Agreement, that the parties have negotiated this fee provision at arm’s length, and that this fee represents a reasonable estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

  1. Term and Termination. 

          3.1.      Term. Unless otherwise set forth in your Agreement, the duration of these Terms shall begin upon the Effective Date and shall continue until terminated in accordance with this Section 3 (Term and Termination).

          3.2       Termination for Convenience. GotSoccer may terminate these Terms or your access to the GotSport Software and Services for convenience upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to you.

          3.3       Termination for Cause. Either party may terminate these Terms effective immediately upon written notice to the other party if: (a) the other party materially breaches any provision of these Terms or your Agreement, and such breach remains uncured for thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach; or (b) the other party (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; (ii) files or has filed against it a petition in bankruptcy or an insolvency proceeding that is not dismissed within thirty (30) days of filing; (iii) admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (iv) is adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or (v) commences dissolution or liquidation proceedings.

                       (d) GotSoccer shall, upon your written request made within thirty (30) days after the effective date of termination, provide you with a reasonable opportunity to download or otherwise retrieve your Customer Data in a standard format, after which GotSoccer may delete or destroy all copies of Customer Data in its systems or otherwise in its possession or control unless legally prohibited from doing so; and

                      (e) All outstanding payment obligations shall become immediately due and payable.

           3.5       Survival. Any provision of these Terms that contemplates or governs performance or observance after termination or expiration will survive the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason, including as set forth in Section 11.19 (Survival).

  1. Third-Party Products and Services.

          4.1.    Third-Party Products. GotSoccer may make available from time to time through an API or other similar portal or integration with the GotSport Software, third-party products and services, which may include, for example, payment processing, background check services, and SafeSport services (a “Third-Party Product”). However, GotSoccer is not responsible for any disruption or issue with the GotSport Software caused by Third-Party Products.  Any acquisition by you of such Third-Party Product, and any contract or exchange of data between you and such Third-Party Product provider, is solely between you and the applicable Third-Party Product provider, and you agree that GotSoccer shall have no liability for such Third-Party Product.  Customer expressly agrees to comply with all terms and conditions, privacy policies, and other agreements imposed by the Third-Party Product provider (“Third-Party Terms“). Customer acknowledges that continued access to and use of any Third-Party Product may be contingent upon Customer’s compliance with Third-Party Terms. Customer shall promptly notify GotSoccer of any actual or suspected violation of Third-Party Terms that may affect the GotSport Software or GotSoccer. GotSoccer reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s access to any Third-Party Product integration if GotSoccer reasonably believes Customer has violated or may violate any Third-Party Terms. Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GotSoccer against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to Customer’s use of any Third-Party Product or Customer’s violation of any Third-Party Terms.

          4.2.    Payment Processing. If you accept payments within the GotSport Software, your credit and debit card payment processing (the “Payment Processing”) will be facilitated directly by you with a third-party payment processing provider authorized by GotSoccer and integrated with the GotSport Software via an API or other similar gateway service (the “Payment Processor”). You agree and understand that GotSoccer is not a merchant bank or payment processor and that GotSoccer is not responsible for any issues or disputes arising from using the third-party payment processor.  Customer represents and warrants that it shall comply with all applicable payment card industry data security standards (“PCI DSS”), anti-money laundering laws, and other financial regulations applicable to payment processing. Customer acknowledges that failure to comply with such standards and regulations may result in fines, penalties, or other liabilities for which Customer shall be solely responsible.  As to such Payment Processing, the parties agree as follows:

                     4.2.1.     GotSoccer is responsible for the technical maintenance of the integration between the Payment Processor’s API or other similar gateway service with the GotSport Software, but not for any issues or disputes between you and the Payment Processor arising from using Payment Processing.

                     4.2.2.     Your Payment Processing activities facilitated through the GotSport Software are solely between you and such Payment Processor.  You are responsible for entering into a merchant agreement (a “Merchant Agreement”) with the Payment Processor, registering and maintaining an account with the Payment Processor (a “Merchant Account”), and complying with all agreements, terms of use, or other terms and conditions between you and the Payment Processor.  You agree and understand that: (a) GotSoccer does not control the payment processing rates between you and Payment Processor; (b) the Payment Processor is not an agent, employee, or subcontractor of GotSoccer;  (c) GotSoccer does not control, and is not liable for, processing of payments or failure to process payments for you by the Payment Processor; (d) GotSoccer does not control, and is not liable for, for the payment methods made available by the Payment Processor to Customer; and (e) GotSoccer does not control, and is not liable for, any hold of funds by the Payment Processor.  Customer further agrees and understands that: (f) Customer is solely responsible for ensuring its use of Payment Processing complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and Payment Processor requirements; (g) Customer shall promptly notify GotSoccer of any security breach, data compromise, or other incident that may affect the integrity or security of the payment integration; (h) GotSoccer may suspend or terminate the Payment Processing integration if Customer fails to maintain compliance with Payment Processor requirements or applicable laws; (i) Customer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GotSoccer against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to Customer’s Payment Processing activities, including but not limited to claims related to fraud, chargebacks, data breaches, or regulatory non-compliance; and (j) Customer shall not use the Payment Processing integration for any high-risk, illegal, or prohibited activities as defined by the Payment Processor or applicable law.

                        4.2.3    You shall provide the necessary information the Payment Processor requires to establish your Merchant Account.  You warrant that you will not knowingly misrepresent or conceal any material fact relating to your business and will adhere to and comply with all the terms of the Merchant Agreement with Payment Processor.  Customer represents and warrants that: (a) all information provided to the Payment Processor is and will remain accurate, complete, and up-to-date; (b) Customer will promptly update such information if it changes; (c) Customer has all necessary rights, licenses, and authorizations to engage in the payment processing activities it conducts through the GotSport Software; (d) Customer will maintain appropriate security measures to protect payment information and prevent unauthorized access; and (e) Customer will comply with all applicable data protection, privacy, and security laws and regulations in connection with its payment processing activities. Customer acknowledges that failure to maintain accurate information or comply with Payment Processor requirements may result in suspension or termination of the payment processing integration, for which GotSoccer shall have no liability.

                       4.2.4.     To the extent applicable, you authorize GotSoccer to store, process, and transmit Customer Data to the Payment Processor as necessary to facilitate payment processing between you and your End Users.

                       4.2.5.     You are solely responsible for any disputes with Payment Processors, or your End Users as the case may be, related to or in connection with a payment processing, including, but not limited to (a) chargebacks; (b) refunds; (c) products or services not received; (d) return of, delayed delivery of, or cancellation of products, services, or events; (e) canceled transactions; (f) duplicate transactions or charges; (g) electronic debits and credits involving bank accounts, debit cards, and credit cards; (h) the amount of time to complete payment processing; (i) the fees and processing rates between you and Payment Processor; and (j) any hold on your account with the Payment Processor.  You further agree and understand that GotSoccer is not liable for any dispute between the Payment Processor and you or your End Users, and you hereby agree to hold GotSoccer harmless in such disputes.

                       4.2.6.    Customer acknowledges that GotSoccer’s payment processing features, including but not limited to surcharge functionality, are provided as software tools only.

If Customer fails to remedy material COPPA non-compliance within fifteen (15) days of written notice from GotSoccer, or if GotSoccer reasonably determines that Customer’s non-compliance poses a significant risk of violating COPPA or exposing GotSoccer to regulatory liability, GotSoccer may suspend Customer’s access to the GotSport Software until such non-compliance is remedied.  GotSoccer shall provide the Customer with written notice of such suspension and the specific non-compliance issues that must be remedied to restore access.  During any such suspension, Customer shall remain responsible for all fees incurred under the Agreement.  To restore access, Customer must: (a) provide written certification that all COPPA non-compliance issues have been remedied; (b) provide documentation demonstrating such remediation; and (c) if requested by GotSoccer, participate in a compliance review to verify remediation.

You agree to notify GotSoccer immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your usernames, passwords, or any other threat to the security of the GotSport Software or your account.  GotSoccer has the right at any time to suspend access to the GotSport Software if GotSoccer believes in good faith that such suspension is necessary to preserve the security, integrity, or accessibility of the GotSport Software.  In such an event, GotSoccer shall make reasonable efforts to provide you with notice of such suspected threat before any suspension, but reserves the right to suspend access immediately in its sole discretion  GotSoccer and Customer shall mutually cooperate to confirm and resolve the threat with the goals of minimizing the impact of any such suspension of service to Customer, protecting the GotSport Software from such security risk, and reestablishing access to the GotSport Software as expeditiously as possible.

Neither party shall challenge or assist others in challenging the validity or ownership of the other party’s trademarks.

  1.    Confidentiality.  

          7.1.     Protection of Confidential Information.  Both parties acknowledge and agree to protect and maintain the strictest confidentiality and discretion with respect to any Confidential Information of the other party, as defined in Section 1.4.  Each party shall take all reasonable measures and precautions necessary for the protection of Confidential Information and shall protect it with at least the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. Each party shall limit access to such Confidential Information strictly to those employees, agents, or contractors who have a need to know such information for the purposes of this Agreement and who are bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.  Neither party shall disclose the other’s Confidential Information to any third party except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, with the prior written consent of the other party, or as required by law, regulation, or court order (provided that, to the extent legally permitted, the disclosing party gives prompt written notice to the other party and cooperates in any efforts to seek a protective order or otherwise limit disclosure).  Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, each party shall, at the request of the other, return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control.  If either party becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the other party’s Confidential Information, it shall promptly notify the other party and cooperate in any remediation efforts.  Each party acknowledges that any breach of this Section may cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages may be an inadequate remedy, and the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

          7.2.    Survival.     The obligations of Section 7.1 (Protection of Confidential Information) above will survive the termination or expiration of these Terms or your Agreement.

If the GotSport Software becomes, or in GotSoccer’s reasonable judgment is likely to become, the subject of a claim under this Section 8.1, GotSoccer may, at its sole option and expense: (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the GotSport Software as contemplated by these Terms; (ii) modify the GotSport Software so that it is no longer infringing; or (iii) if neither (i) nor (ii) is commercially practicable, terminate Customer’s access to the affected portion of the GotSport Software upon written notice and refund any prepaid, unused fees allocable to the period following such termination.

The provisions of this Section 8.1 state the sole and exclusive obligations and liability of GotSoccer for any claim of intellectual property infringement arising out of or relating to the GotSport Software and are in lieu of any implied warranties of non-infringement, all of which are expressly disclaimed.

          8.2.    Indemnification by Customer. In the event that a third party makes a claim against GotSoccer arising out of or related to your alleged or actual use of, misuse of, or failure to use the GotSport Software, including without limitation: (a) claims that any Customer Data or use of Customer Data or End User Content provided by Customer infringes or misappropriates such third-party’s Intellectual Property Rights; (b) claims related to unauthorized disclosure or exposure of Customer Data or End User Content by Customer but only to the extent such unauthorized disclosure or exposure results from the negligence of Customer; (c) claims related to infringement or violation of any third party’s Intellectual Property Rights by written material, images, logos or other content uploaded to the Customer’s website or GotSport Software by Customer, or its End Users, including without limitation Customer Data or End User Content;  (d) claims based on Customer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement; (e) claims arising from or related to Customer’s use of any Third-Party Product or Payment Processing, including but not limited to claims related to Customer’s violation of Third-Party Terms, non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations, payment disputes, chargebacks, data breaches, or security incidents; and (f) claims that use of the GotSport Software by Customer harasses, defames, or defrauds a third party or violates the CAN-Spam Act of 2003 or any other law or restriction on electronic advertising,  then you shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless GotSoccer and its directors, officers and employees against the claim at your expense, and you shall pay all losses, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against such parties or agreed to in a written settlement agreement to the extent arising from the claim.

          8.3.    Conditions for Indemnification. A party seeking indemnification under this section shall (a) promptly notify the other party of the claim; (b) give the other party sole control of the defense of the claim with counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; and (c) provide (at the indemnified party’s expense for out-of-pocket expenses) the assistance, information, and authority reasonably requested by the indemnifying party in the defense and settlement of the claim.  The indemnifying party shall not consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to the claim or enter into a settlement without the prior consent of the indemnified party (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) that does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter releases the indemnified party from all liability with respect to the claim.  A party’s indemnification obligation pursuant to this Agreement includes payment of reasonable attorneys ‘ fees and court costs.

           9.2       Exclusion of Consequential and Similar Damages.  IN NO EVENT WILL GOTSOCCER BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. THE LIABILITIES LIMITED BY SECTIONS 9.1 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY) AND SECTION 9.2 (EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND SIMILAR DAMAGES) APPLY TO THE BENEFIT OF GOTSOCCER’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTORS, AS WELL AS (A) TO LIABILITY FOR NEGLIGENCE; (B) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE; (C) EVEN IF GOTSOCCER IS ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE DAMAGES IN QUESTION AND EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; AND (D) EVEN IF CUSTOMER’S REMEDIES FAIL IN THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT GOTSOCCER HAS BASED ITS PRICING ON AND ENTERED INTO YOUR AGREEMENT AND THESE TERMS IN RELIANCE UPON THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITIES IN SECTION 9.1, THE EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND SIMILAR DAMAGES IN THIS SECTION 9.2, AND THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES IN SECTION 10, AND THAT SUCH TERMS FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. IF APPLICABLE LAW LIMITS THE APPLICATION OF ANY PROVISION LISTED IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE, GOTSOCCER’S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSIBLE.

  1.    Limited Warranty and Disclaimer of Warranties.  

          10.1.    Limited Warranty. GOTSOCCER WARRANTS THAT IT WILL PROVIDE THE GOTSPORT SOFTWARE AND SERVICES IN A PROFESSIONAL AND WORKMANLIKE MANNER AND MATERIAL CONFORMANCE TO ANY DOCUMENTATION.  THE CUSTOMER’S ONLY REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL BE THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES AT NO CHARGE.  THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE CUSTOMER’S FAILURE TO ADHERE TO INSTRUCTIONS OR CAUSED BY EVENTS BEYOND GOTSOCCER’S REASONABLE CONTROL.

          10.2.    Disclaimer of Warranties. GOTSOCCER DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE GOTSPORT SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOTSOCCER DOES NOT CONTROL THE TRANSFER OF DATA OVER COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, INCLUDING THE INTERNET, AND THAT THE GOTSPORT SOFTWARE MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIMITATIONS, DELAYS, AND OTHER PROBLEMS INHERENT IN THE USE OF SUCH COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES.  EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SPECIFIED ABOVE IN SECTION 10.1 (WARRANTY), GOTSOCCER MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

          11.5.    Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that it will be difficult to measure in money damages the injury resulting from the failure to comply with the obligations or restrictions imposed by Sections 2.2 (Restrictions on Use of GotSport Software and Service), 6 (Intellectual Property), and 7 (Confidentiality) of these Terms and that in the event of such failure, the non-breaching party will suffer irreparable injury and will not have an adequate remedy at law or for money damages.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of these sections, the breaching party agrees and consents to the issuance of an injunction or the enforcement of other equitable remedies against the breaching party and its successors or assigns, without the obligation of posting any bond or security, to compel specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, and the breaching party waives any defenses that damages are an adequate remedy at law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the non-breaching party may also pursue legal remedies deemed to be appropriate in the event of a breach of this Agreement, including seeking monetary damages.

          11.6.    Waiver of Jury Trials and Class Actions. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION COUNTERCLAIMS REGARDING SUCH DISPUTES, CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PARTIES’ NEGOTIATIONS AND INDUCEMENTS TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND OTHER CHALLENGES TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT. THE WAIVER IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF DISPUTE, WHETHER PROCEEDING UNDER CLAIMS OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER PROCEEDING UNDER CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY (COLLECTIVELY, “THIS AGREEMENT’S CLAIMS”).

          11.7.    Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or other legal proceedings between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs of proceedings incurred in enforcing this Agreement.

          11.15.    No Waiver. Neither party will be deemed to have waived any of its rights under your Agreement by lapse of time or by any statement or representation other than by an authorized representative in an explicit written waiver.  No waiver of a breach of your Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other breach.

          11.20.    Amendments.  We may modify these Terms from time to time by posting the updated Terms at https://home.gotsport.com/gotsport-terms-and-conditions/. We will exercise this right in good faith. Except as provided below for a Material Change, modified Terms become effective ten (10) days after posting (the “Amendment Effective Date“), your continued use of the GotSport Software and Services after the Amendment Effective Date constitutes your acceptance of the modified Terms, and you are responsible for reviewing the Terms as posted.  A “Material Change” means a modification that materially and adversely changes your rights or obligations, including any change to the fees or fee structure, the length or renewal terms of the Term, or the exclusivity, limitation-of-liability, indemnification, or dispute-resolution provisions. A Material Change will not take effect as to you during the thirty (30) days after the Amendment Effective Date. A Material Change becomes binding on you unless, within that thirty (30)-day period, you notify us in writing that you object to it. If you timely object, that Material Change will not apply to you, and the Terms otherwise applicable to you will continue in effect without that change until your Agreement is renewed, extended, or replaced, at which point the then-current Terms will apply. Your objection does not terminate, suspend, or otherwise modify your Agreement or these Terms and does not limit our rights under Section 3, including our right to terminate for convenience under Section 3.2.

GotSoccer Terms of Use

GotSoccer Terms of Use

Effective Date: April 10, 2026

THESE TERMS OF USE HAVE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM.

Welcome to GotSoccer, the leading sports registration and management software provider serving coaches, parents, athletes, clubs, leagues, associations, and governing bodies. These “Terms of Use” are a legal agreement between you, as a user of our services, and GotSoccer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GotSoccer”). These Terms of Use apply to all GotSoccer websites, mobile applications, software platforms, and social media accounts that link to these Terms of Use (collectively the “Sites and Services”). Our Sites and Services include the GotSoccer, GotSport, GotSport Pro, GotSport Travel, GotSport App, GotSport Pay, and GotSport Ticketing software platforms. Unless otherwise indicated in those platforms, these Terms of Use apply to each. The Sites and Services are the property of GotSoccer and are subject to the following terms and conditions. Please read these Terms of Use carefully. By accessing and using the Sites and Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms of Use, you must not access or use our Sites and Services.

1.  Use of Our Sites and Services.

Our Sites and Services are owned and operated by GotSoccer. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Sites and Services for your personal use only, provided that you do not (and do not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work from, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Sites or Services. GotSoccer reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. GotSoccer may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason. You agree that these Terms of Use are supported by good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you hereby acknowledge. Such consideration includes, without limitation, your access and use of our Sites and Services.

2.  Application of Terms and User Classifications.

(a) User Classifications. These Terms of Use distinguish between two types of users:

(i) “Customers” means any team, club, league, association, tournament organizer, or other governing body that uses our Sites and Services to manage registrations, events, payments, or other administrative functions. Customers typically have administrative access to the GotSport Software platforms.
(ii) “End Users” means individual users such as parents, players, coaches, referees, or other participants who access our Sites and Services to register for events, make payments, view schedules, or otherwise participate in activities managed through our platforms.

(b) Application to Customers. For Customers, these Terms of Use apply only to the extent there is no separate written agreement between GotSoccer and the Customer governing the use of our Sites and Services. Where such a separate agreement exists, the terms of that separate agreement shall control with respect to any conflicting provisions, and these Terms of Use shall apply only to matters not addressed in the separate agreement.

(c) Application to End Users. For End Users, these Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and GotSoccer regarding your use of our Sites and Services, regardless of whether the organization through which you access our Sites and Services has a separate agreement with GotSoccer.

(d) Hierarchy of Agreements. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and any separate agreement between GotSoccer and a Customer, the following order of precedence shall apply: (i) the separate agreement between GotSoccer and the Customer; (ii) these Terms of Use; (iii) any other policies or guidelines referenced in these Terms of Use.

(e) Acceptance. By accessing or using our Sites and Services, both Customers and End Users agree to be bound by these Terms of Use to the extent applicable as described in this Section.

3. Term and Termination.

By accessing or using our Sites and Services, you agree to be bound by GotSoccer’s Terms of Use, and upon your initial access to or use of our Sites and Services, the term of these Terms of Use (the “Term”) will begin. The Term will continue for as long as you continue to access or use our Site and Services or for as long as you have an account with us (a “GotSport Account”), which may be until you close or we terminate your GotSport Account in accordance with these Terms of Use, whichever happens first. If these Terms of Use, or your GotSport Account, are terminated or suspended for any reason: (a) the license and any other rights granted under these Terms of Use will end, (b) you agree to immediately terminate and cease use of all Sites and Services, (c) we may delete your information and account data stored on our servers, and (d) we will not be liable to you or any third party for compensation, reimbursement, or damages for any termination or suspension of the Sites and Services, or for deletion of your information or account data. In addition to any payment obligations under the Payment Terms, the following sections of these Terms of Use survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon termination: 5 (Personal Information and User Content), 7 (Code of Conduct), 8 (Intellectual Property Rights), 11 (Payment Processing), 13 (GotSport Software Fees & Refund Policy), 17 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 18 (Limitation of Liability and Damages), 19 (Indemnification), 20 (Choice of Law and Arbitration), 21 (Waiver of Jury Trials and Class Actions), and 25 (Other Provisions).

4.  GotSport Account Registration.

You must be 18 years of age or older to create a GotSport Account.  Certain services provided by GotSoccer require you to register for a GotSport Account. In that event, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You agree that GotSoccer may use the information to provide you with the services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your GotSport Account (including your username and password information) and for restricting access to your GotSport Account. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur in your GotSport Account. Additionally, you agree to notify GotSoccer immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your GotSport Account or password or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to terminate your GotSport Account at any time. In the event of any dispute between two or more parties regarding account ownership, we will be the arbiter of such dispute at our sole discretion. Our decision (which may include termination or suspension of any GotSport Account subject to dispute) will be final and binding on all parties.

5.  Personal Information and User Content.

(a)  Personal Information and User Content.  Some of our Sites and Services work through your input or transfer of information that may be subject to applicable privacy and data security laws (“Personal Information”).  In addition, some of our Sites and Services may allow you to provide content such as user profile information, images, videos, comments, questions, and other content (“User Content”).  You represent and warrant that your User Content and Personal Information: (i) is owned by you or you control all necessary rights to it, (ii) does not violate, misappropriate, or infringe on the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights, (iii) is accurate, not obscene, false, libelous, or defamatory, (iv) will not encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or gives rise to civil liability, (v) does not advertise products or services, and (vi) will not cause injury to any person, entity, or system. By posting User Consent, you grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, display, and distribute it. You retain all rights in your User Content and Personal Information, subject to the rights you grant us in these Terms of Use. GotSoccer assumes no liability for any User Content you post and is not obligated to monitor User Content. GotSoccer may, in its sole discretion, remove any User Content at any time and for any reason. You agree and understand that we are not responsible for and do not endorse User Content posted by another person. You agree to hold us harmless for any loss or damage caused to you, whether directly or indirectly, in connection with any User Content posted by another person.

(b)  User Responsibility. By using the Sites and Services, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for your actions and the content you post on the Sites and Services. You understand that any violation of these Terms of Use or applicable laws may result in consequences as outlined in these Terms of Use.

(c)  Reporting Abusive Behavior or Content. If you encounter abusive behavior or content on our Sites and Services, please report it immediately to the GotSport Support Team.   We take such reports seriously and will investigate and take appropriate action in accordance with our policies and these Terms of Use.

(d)  Data Privacy.  You agree and consent to the use, transfer, processing, and storage of Personal Information and User Content in accordance with these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more about our information collection, use, and disclosure practices. Our use, retention, or disclosure of User Data and User Content is for the sole business purpose of performing our services.

6.  Our Policy Towards Children.

Our Sites and Services are intended for general audiences and are not directed to children under 13. By accessing or using our Sites and Services, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older. If you are between thirteen and eighteen, you need permission from a parent or guardian to use our Sites and Services. If you permit your child or legal ward between thirteen and eighteen years of age (your “Child”) to use the Sites and Services, you hereby agree to these Terms of Use on behalf of yourself and your Child. You further agree that you are solely responsible for all use of the Sites and Services by your Child, regardless of whether you authorized such use. GotSoccer encourages parents to use appropriate parental discretion in determining whether to grant authorization to minor children to access our Sites and Services.

7. Automated Access and Data Collection.

Prohibited Activities.  Except as expressly permitted in writing by GotSoccer, you shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:

(a) use any software, bot, robot, spider, crawler, scraper, data mining tool, artificial intelligence agent, autonomous or semi-autonomous tool, or other automated device, process, or means to access, index, survey, harvest, collect, store, or copy any data, content, or information from or available through the Sites and Services;

(b) use any manual process to monitor, copy, extract, or compile data or content from the Sites and Services for any purpose not expressly authorized by these Terms of Use;

(c) circumvent, disable, bypass, or otherwise interfere with any technical measures implemented by GotSoccer to restrict, limit, or control automated access to the Sites and Services, including but not limited to rate limiting, CAPTCHA or similar challenge-response mechanisms, IP-based access restrictions, authentication or session management controls, API usage limits, and robots.txt directives or other machine-readable access protocols;

(d) access or use the Sites and Services in violation of any robots.txt file, crawl-delay directive, or other machine-readable access restriction published by GotSoccer, which restrictions are incorporated into and made a part of these Terms of Use;

(e) embed, frame, mirror, or otherwise reproduce any content, data, or functionality from the Sites and Services on any other website, mobile application, platform, or system without the express written permission of GotSoccer;

(f) use any content, data, or materials from or available through the Sites and Services to train, develop, fine-tune, validate, benchmark, or improve any artificial intelligence model, machine learning model, large language model, or other automated system, whether for commercial or non-commercial purposes;

(g) redistribute, publish, display, sublicense, sell, transfer, or otherwise make available to any third party any data, content, or materials extracted, scraped, collected, or derived from the Sites and Services, regardless of whether such redistribution is for commercial or non-commercial purposes;

(h) aggregate data from the Sites and Services with data from other sources for the purpose of creating a competing product, service, or database;

(i) use the Sites and Services for any commercial purpose not expressly authorized by these Terms of Use or a separate written agreement with GotSoccer; or

(j) assist, facilitate, or enable any third party in performing any of the foregoing activities.

Compliance with Robots.txt.  You acknowledge and agree that GotSoccer publishes robots.txt files and other machine-readable access protocols on the Sites and Services that define the scope of permitted automated access. Compliance with all robots.txt directives, crawl-delay specifications, and similar access protocols is a material obligation under these Terms of Use. Any automated access that violates a published robots.txt directive constitutes unauthorized access to the Sites and Services.

Unauthorized Access.  You acknowledge and agree that any access to or use of the Sites and Services in violation of this Section 7A constitutes access “without authorization” or access that “exceeds authorized access” within the meaning of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030, and any analogous state computer fraud or unauthorized access statute. GotSoccer reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable federal and state law, including but not limited to claims under 18 U.S.C. § 1030, the Florida Computer Abuse and Data Recovery Act (Fla. Stat. § 668.801 et seq.), and common law claims for trespass to chattels and unjust enrichment.

Irreparable Harm.  You acknowledge and agree that any violation of this Section 7A would cause irreparable harm to GotSoccer that cannot be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone, and that GotSoccer shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief, as well as specific performance, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting a bond, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

Liquidated Damages.  You acknowledge and agree that the actual damages resulting from unauthorized automated access to and collection of data from the Sites and Services are difficult to ascertain and that the following liquidated damages represent a reasonable estimate of such damages and are not a penalty: (a) for each instance of unauthorized automated access to the Sites and Services (defined as any session or series of related requests made in violation of this Section 7A), a fee of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00); and (b) for each individual data record accessed, collected, scraped, harvested, or extracted in violation of this Section 7A, a fee of one dollar ($1.00) per record. These liquidated damages are cumulative and in addition to (not in lieu of) any other damages, equitable relief, or remedies available to GotSoccer under these Terms of Use or applicable law.

Consequences.  Any violation of this Section 7A will result in immediate termination of your GotSport Account and revocation of all access to the Sites and Services, without prior notice. GotSoccer further reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including but not limited to injunctive relief, recovery of liquidated damages, recovery of actual damages (where actual damages exceed the liquidated amount), disgorgement of profits derived from the unauthorized activity, and recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of enforcement. The remedies set forth in this Section 7A are cumulative and not exclusive.

Monitoring.  GotSoccer reserves the right to monitor access to and use of the Sites and Services for the purpose of detecting and preventing violations of this Section 7A. Such monitoring may include, without limitation, analysis of access patterns, request frequency, user-agent identification, IP address tracking, and other technical means. You consent to such monitoring as a condition of access to the Sites and Services.

You further acknowledge that GotSoccer is not obligated to provide copies of the GotSport Software and will not ship copies of it as part of its services. It is understood and agreed that GotSoccer is the sole and exclusive owner of all rights, titles, and interests in its GotSport Software, including all Intellectual Property Rights. The GotSport Software, online access to the GotSport Software, all copies of the GotSport Software, documentation, related contents, and all rights therein are owned by GotSoccer and are protected by applicable copyright, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms of Use are reserved to GotSoccer.

You agree that you may not use, copy, modify, or distribute the GotSport Software (electronically or otherwise) or any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion thereof, except as provided herein or otherwise expressly authorized by GotSoccer.

10.  Security.

GotSoccer will maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to, use of, or disclosure of any Confidential Information provided as part of the GotSport Software and Services and any other protected information defined by applicable laws and regulations. You agree and understand that using the Sites and Services necessarily involves transmitting data over networks not owned, operated, or controlled by GotSoccer. You agree that Gotsoccer shall not be responsible for any data lost, altered, intercepted, or stored across such networks. You understand that hosting data online involves unauthorized disclosure or exposure risks and that you assume these risks in accessing and using the Sites and Services.

11.  Third-Party Links.

Our Sites and Services may link to other sites we do not control. In addition, you may have visited our Sites and Services through a link or a banner advertisement on another site. In such cases, the site you linked from may collect your information. These third-party sites are governed by their privacy policies. When visiting such sites, you should review these privacy policies to see how they collect and use this information. We are not responsible for such third-party sites’ content or privacy practices.

12.  Payment Processing.

Your team, club, league, association, or other governing body (each, our “Customer”) may obtain payment from you via an integrated payment portal with third-party banking institutions and processing agents (the “Payment Processors”). Such Payment Processors receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS and are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council. GotSoccer is not responsible for processing the payment between our Customer and you. We do not store or collect your payment card details, do not handle any of our Customers’ funds, and are not involved in any payment processing between you and our Customer. Any payment issue or dispute between you and our Customer should be directed to our Customer. You agree that GotSoccer is not liable in any way to you arising from or related to (directly or indirectly) payment processing transactions between you and our Customer.

13.  Modification of Terms of Use.

From time to time, we may revise these Terms of Use. We will provide notice of such revisions either by revising these Terms of Use and indicating at the top of this page the date these Terms of Use were last revised or by emailing the email address associated with your GotSport Account, or both. You agree that you must visit these Terms of Use periodically to review any such revisions. Changes to these Terms of Use will be effective on the date noted in the posting. By continuing to access or use our Sites and Services after effective revisions, you accept and agree to abide by them.

14.  GotSport Software Fees & Refund Policy.

GotSoccer may charge a software fee for its services (a “GotSport Software Fee”). The GotSport Software Fee, if applicable, is displayed on the payment page before payment. GotSoccer may collect taxes, as required by law, which you agree to pay unless you provide GotSoccer with timely, appropriate, complete, and accurate information and documentation satisfying the legal and tax requirements of the relevant government or tax authority to establish that the otherwise applicable tax is not required to be collected by GotSoccer. Any such GotSport Software Fee is non-refundable even if the payment to which it relates is canceled, refunded, or credited by the club or tournament.

15.  Additional Terms for Mobile Application Users.

The following additional terms apply if you access our Sites or Services through a mobile device, including any of our mobile applications. GotSoccer grants you the right to use the mobile application only for personal use. You must comply with all applicable laws and third-party terms of use when using the mobile application (e.g., your wireless data service agreement). The mobile application may not have the same functionality on the applicable Sites and Services.

16.  Additional Terms for GotSport Ticketing Users.

If you use our GotSport Ticketing platform, you are responsible for reading the complete ticket details before purchasing the tickets. You cannot change or cancel any ticket order after the sale is complete. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Whether any refunds are granted for canceled events will be made solely by the event host, our Customer. You may be charged service fees for buying tickets. Service fees may vary depending on the event type and location. Service fees or taxes, if applicable, will be disclosed to you before purchasing a ticket. GotSport Ticketing service fees are non-refundable. The GotSport Ticketing platform may not be used to resell tickets already sold, distributed, or forwarded through the GotSport Ticketing platform.

17.  Additional Terms for GotSport Pay Users.

(a) For GotSport Pay Users Who Receive Payments.  If you register to create an account to receive payments via our GotSport Pay application, you expressly authorize GotSoccer’s service provider, Dwolla, Inc., to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account. You must be at least 13 years old and obtain parental permission if under 18 to receive funds. You authorize GotSoccer to collect and share your personal information with Dwolla, including your full name, email address, and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. Dwolla’s Privacy Policy is available here.

(b)  Electronic Consent for 1099 Tax Form Processing.  You agree to electronically deliver tax forms via email or a secure portal.

(c)  For GotSport Pay End Users.  To use the payment functionality of our GotSport Pay Software, you must open a “Dwolla Account” provided by Dwolla, Inc. and accept the  Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.  Any funds held in or transferred through your Dwolla Account are held or transferred by Dwolla’s financial institution partners. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Dwolla Account. You authorize us to collect and share your personal information with Dwolla, including full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address, and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla Account through GotSport Pay, and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by GotSoccer, not Dwolla. We will provide customer support for your Dwolla Account activity through the GotSport Support Center.

18.  Disclaimer of Warranties.

YOU ACCEPT THE SITES AND SERVICES “AS IS” AND AS AVAILABLE, WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

19.  Limitation of Liability and Damages.

(a)  IN NO EVENT WILL GOTSOCCER BE LIABLE FOR ANY GENERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BREACH OF SECURITY, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SITES AND SERVICES.

(b)  TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GOTSOCCER IS LIMITED TO (I) THE GOTSPORT SOFTWARE FEES PAID BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR LIABILITY, OR (II) $500, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF GOTSOCCER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

(c)  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GOTSOCCER HAS OFFERED ITS SITES AND SERVICES, SET ITS PRICES, AND ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS OF USE IN RELIANCE UPON THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN.  YOU AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES (INCLUDING THE RISK THAT A CONTRACT REMEDY MAY FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND CAUSE CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS) AND THAT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GOTSOCCER.

20.  Indemnification.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GotSoccer and its subsidiaries, agents, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Sites and Services, including any data or work transmitted or received by you, (b) your violation of any term of these Terms of Use, including without limitation, your breach of any of the representations and warranties above, (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy, publicity rights or intellectual property rights, (d) your violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or any other country, (e) any claim or damages that arise as a result of any of your User Data or any other data that is submitted via your account, or (f) any other party’s access and use of the Sites Services with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code.  GotSoccer will have the right to control the defense, settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any such claims, actions, or proceedings by using counsel selected by GotSoccer. GotSoccer will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claims, actions, or proceedings upon becoming aware of them.

21.  Choice of Law and Arbitration.

These Terms of Use and your use of our Sites and Services will be governed solely by the laws of the State of Florida, without any conflicts of law principle that would apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction to the parties’ rights or duties. For any dispute with GotSoccer, you agree first to contact us at legal@gotsport.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If GotSoccer has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, you agree to submit all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and GotSoccer to mandatory, binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes in Jacksonville, Florida. The costs of arbitration shall be shared according to the fee schedule provided by the AAA for consumer-related disputes, ensuring fairness and accessibility to both parties. The arbitration will proceed according to the simplified rules designed for consumer disputes. This section does not limit either party’s right to seek provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during, or after arbitration, including but not limited to any claim for equitable relief.  Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered by any court with competent jurisdiction.

However, you can block them in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Functional Cookies. These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.

Targeting Cookies (Advertising). These cookies are set through our site by us and by our advertising partners. They build a profile of your interests based on your browsing activity and are used to show you relevant advertisements on other websites. These are non-essential cookies and are active by default; you may opt out of them at any time as described below, including by sending a Global Privacy Control signal.

  • View the categories of cookies in use

We may use your Personal Information in the following ways:

  1. To Provide our Services.

  2. With Your Consent. We may share your Personal Information with companies, organizations, and other third parties with your consent or to fulfill the purpose for which you provided the information. This consensual sharing is not considered a “sale” of Personal Information under applicable privacy laws, as it is done with your explicit permission and for specific purposes you have authorized.
  3. To Communicate with You and Provide You with Our Services. We may use your Personal Information to create your account, keep your account in working order, provide our Services to you, communicate with you about your use of our Services, request feedback, and for other customer service purposes.
  4. To Improve Our Services and Tell You About Other Services. We also use your Personal Information to improve and personalize your experience and develop new products. In addition, we may use your Personal Information to offer you tailored content, including giving you offers for third-party products and services that we think may be of interest to you (“Promotional Communications”). Each such Promotional Communication will provide you with the option to unsubscribe. You may also opt out of receiving Promotional Communications from us in your GotSport Account.
  5. With Our Service Providers. We may share your Personal Information with our affiliates, vendors, consultants, and contractors (collectively “Service Providers”), who may help us provide and support our Services. Examples of our Service Providers include hosting or infrastructure providers, customer support, email delivery, marketing, website analytics, and collaboration tools. These Service Providers are contractually required to use such information only for the purposes for which they have been engaged by GotSoccer, to maintain appropriate security measures, and to process Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. GotSoccer utilizes third-party service providers, including HubSpot, to offer customer support services to our users. As part of these services, we may employ the use of chatbots to assist with customer inquiries. By engaging with our customer support services, you acknowledge and consent to the recording and storage of chat transcripts for the purpose of handling your inquiries and improving our Services.  These transcripts may be maintained by GotSoccer and our Service Providers in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. Both GotSoccer and our Service Providers take appropriate measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of these transcripts. You have the right to access, review, and request the deletion of your chat transcripts as outlined in our Privacy Policy under ‘How to Access and Manage Your Personal Information.’
  6. With Our Business Partners. We may share your Personal Information with our business partners (“Business Partners”) when you request to use their products and services or purchase from them via our Services. We only share your Personal Information with our Business Partners with your consent and as necessary to provide any product or service you have requested from them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you purchase a ticket or make a purchase from our Business Partners via our Services, we may provide Personal Information such as your name and email address to those Business Partners so that they can fulfill your order and use it for guest survey research purposes. These Business Partners are governed by their own privacy policies and are independently responsible for their compliance with applicable privacy laws.  We encourage you to review their privacy policies to understand how they collect and use your Personal Information. Our Privacy Notice does not extend to Personal Information and its use once exported, with your consent, to any Business Partners. This limited sharing of information with Business Partners is not considered a “sale” of Personal Information under applicable privacy laws, as it is done solely to fulfill your requests and with your consent.
  7. To Fulfill a Contract with Your Team, Club, League, State Association, National Organization, or Governing Body. When you use our Services, you expressly authorize us to share your Personal Information with our Clients, including your team, club, tournament organizer, state or national organizations, or other governing bodies, so that they may administer your registration and your team’s registration, schedule, and tournaments. For example, registering to play for a club means you want that club to access your Personal Information to place you on a team, register you for a tournament, and administer your team. We only share your Personal Information with our Clients pursuant to a contract with them, with your consent, or as necessary to provide any product or service you have requested or authorized. Our Privacy Notice does not extend to Personal Information and its use once exported, with your consent, to our Clients.
  8. Aggregated Data. We also may collect and use anonymized aggregated data (“Aggregated Data”) for any purpose, including, without limitation, to help us understand website traffic and the use of our Services. Aggregated Data is not considered Personal Information under applicable law because this information does not directly or indirectly reveal your identity.
  9. Disclosures for Law Enforcement and Other Purposes. We will share your Personal Information when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to (a) meet any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, including meeting any national security or law enforcement requirements, (b) enforce applicable terms of use, including investigation of potential violations, (c) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues, (d) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of GotSoccer, our users, our Clients, or the public as required or permitted by law, (e) to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and (f) with actual or prospective acquirers, their representatives, and other relevant participants in, or during negotiations of, any sale, merger, acquisition, restructuring, divestiture, or change in control involving all or a portion of our business or assets, including in connection with a bankruptcy or similar proceedings. If we undergo a sale or corporate restructuring, we may disclose Personal Information to a buyer or other successor in interest.
  10. Mobile Phone Information. Mobile phone information will not be shared, sold, or conveyed to third parties for marketing or promotional purposes.

3.  HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

We will only retain Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the business purposes for which we have collected such information, including to satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, or to comply with applicable data retention laws and regulations.  We retain data (1) for the duration of our Client’s business relationship with us and a period after that to allow Clients to recover data if they decide to renew, (2) to analyze the data for our operations, (3) for financial transaction record-keeping purposes, and (4) for historical and archiving purposes. To determine the appropriate retention periods for Personal Information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Information, legal requirements, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process the Personal Information, and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means.

4.  HOW TO ACCESS AND MANAGE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION.

You have certain choices regarding accessing and managing your Personal Information. You may exercise these rights, to the extent they apply to you by applicable law, in the ‘How to Contact Us or Exercise My Consumer Rights’ below. The following is a summary of those choices and how to exercise them:

  1. Accessing, Modifying, and Correcting Your Personal Information. You can view, update, modify, and correct certain types of Personal Information in your GotSport Account. Certain information (such as name, gender, and birth date) may not be directly changed by you after completing certain verification processes. If your Personal Information changes or is incorrect, you are responsible for notifying us.
  2. Deletion of Your Personal Information. You may ask us to delete your Personal Information. If you request that we delete your Personal Information, you cannot use our Services. Please note that the right to delete your Personal Information is not absolute, and it may not always be possible to delete it, including, for example, when it must be retained to comply with a legal obligation.
  3. Withdrawal of Consent to Use of Your Personal Information.  You may withdraw your consent to specific uses of your Personal Information at any time by contacting us at privacy@gotsport.com. Please note that certain Personal Information processing is necessary to provide core Services, and withdrawing consent for these purposes may limit or prevent your ability to use specific features of our Services. We will clearly inform you of any such limitations before processing your withdrawal request.
  4. Verification. Upon receiving your request to access, modify, correct, or delete your Personal Information, we will need to verify your identity to determine that you are the same person with whom we have the information in our systems. These verification efforts require us to ask you to provide information so that we can match it with the information you have previously provided us. We will only use the information provided in your request to verify your identity or authority to make the request. To the best of our ability, we will avoid requesting additional information from you for verification purposes. However, if we cannot verify your identity from the information already maintained by us, we may request that you provide additional information to verify your identity and for security or fraud prevention purposes. We will delete such additional information as soon as we finish verifying you.
  5. Opt-Out of Communications. You may opt out of receiving promotional communications from us by using the unsubscribe link within each email, updating your email preferences within your GotSport Account, or contacting us as provided below to remove your contact information from our promotional email list. Even after you opt out of promotional communications, you will continue receiving transactional messages regarding using our Services.
  6. Cookies. You may set your browser to block certain cookies, including some cookies associated with our Services, or to indicate when we are sending a cookie.

If you block non-essential cookies, some features of our Services may not function as intended.

5.  OTHER IMPORTANT PRIVACY INFORMATION.

  1. Information Security. We employ a variety of organizational, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information. These measures include, but are not limited to, the use of encryption for data in transit and at rest, access controls and authentication protocols to limit access to Personal Information to only those employees or contractors who require it to perform their job functions, regular security training for employees, and ongoing monitoring of our systems for potential vulnerabilities and threats.  The safety and security of your Personal Information also depend on you. You can help keep your Personal Information safe by taking reasonable steps to protect it against unauthorized disclosure or misuse, including safeguarding your log-in credentials to your GotSport Account. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its security. Any transmission of Personal Information is at your own risk.
  2. Where We Store Personal Information.  We store your Personal Information on our servers and the servers of cloud-based database management services we engage in the United States. These third parties do not use or have access to your Personal Information for any purpose other than cloud storage and retrieval. Regardless of where the Personal Information is stored, we ensure the data is processed according to this Privacy Policy’s provisions and applicable laws’ requirements.
  3. Application of Privacy Notice. Our Privacy Policy applies to all the Services offered by GotSoccer, except for those with separate privacy notices that expressly do not incorporate this Privacy Notice.
  4. Changes to Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy replaces any earlier version. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically, as we may modify it occasionally. If we change our Privacy Policy in the future, we will post the changed Privacy Policy on the homepage of our websites and in other locations where the policy was previously published. You can determine what version of the Privacy Policy applies by the ‘Last Updated’ date above. Where consistent with applicable law, your continued use of the Services after we have changed the Privacy Policy signifies your acceptance of the revised terms. Under certain circumstances, we may also elect to notify you through additional means, such as posting a notice on the homepage of our websites, within your GotSport Account, or through email.
  5. Third-Party Links. Our website, services, and applications may link to other third-party sites we do not control. In addition, you may have visited our website through a link or a banner advertisement on another site. These third-party sites are governed by their privacy policies. When visiting such sites, you should review these privacy policies to see how they collect and use this information. We are not responsible for such third-party sites’ content or privacy practices.
  6. ‘Do Not Track’ and Global Privacy Control Notifications. We recognize and honor the Do Not Track (DNT) Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, where supported by your browser or extension. If your browser is configured to send a GPC signal, we will treat this as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for that browser, as required by applicable law. For more information about GPC, visit https://globalprivacycontrol.org/.  You may also exercise your privacy rights or manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner or by contacting us as described in this policy.

Parents or guardians may contact us to review Personal Information provided by a child under 13, request such information be deleted, and refuse to allow further collection or use of such information.
  8. Payment Processing Information. GotSoccer and our Clients may obtain payment from you via an integrated payment portal with third-party banking institutions and processing agents (the “Payment Processors”). Such Payment Processors receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS, managed by the PCI Security Standards Council. These Payment Processors process and retain your payment card information, which will not be passed on to GotSoccer. We do not collect or store your credit card number, expiration date, or card security code. GotSoccer acts solely as a facilitator in the payment process between you and our Clients. GotSoccer is not involved in, and expressly disclaims all liability for, the payment processing between a Client and you. We do not store or collect your payment card details, do not handle any of our Clients’ funds, and are not involved in any payment processing between you and our Clients. Any payment issue or dispute between you and our Client should be directed to that organization.
  9. Sharing of Personal Information Through Use of Our Services. Our Sites and Services enable you to connect with and share information about yourself with other users and organizations. Certain profile information, including your name, team, and individual profile photo, may be available to other users of our Services and may be searchable by search engines. You may adjust your profile settings within your GotSport Account to prevent the general public from viewing this profile information, although certain information may remain visible to our Clients as necessary for providing our Services. Team photos uploaded by coaches, managers, or other authorized team administrators may be displayed on public-facing pages within our Services, including team ranking pages, which may be indexed by search engines. By uploading a team photo, the uploader represents that they have obtained appropriate consent from all individuals depicted in the photo (or, for minors, from their parents or legal guardians) for the photo to be publicly displayed. Coaches and managers may disable public display of team photos through their team settings. If you are a parent or guardian and wish to have your child’s image removed from a team photo displayed on our Services, please contact us at privacy@gotsport.com or visit our Privacy Center at https://home.gotsport.com/privacy-center/.
  10. Sale or Sharing of Personal Information. GotSoccer does not sell or share your Personal Information to third parties for their marketing purposes or for monetary or other valuable consideration. While we share certain information with service providers and business partners as described in this Privacy Policy, these sharing practices are conducted under contracts that limit the use of your information to specific purposes and prohibit further use, disclosure, or sale of your information. Certain privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), broadly define “selling” and “sharing” Personal Information to include data transfers made in connection with targeted advertising. To the extent any of our data sharing practices fall within those definitions, we provide opt-out rights as described in this Privacy Policy.
  11. User-Submitted Media for Marketing and Promotional Purposes. From time to time, we may invite users, teams, clubs, or other organizations to submit photographs, videos, or other media content (“User-Submitted Media“) to us via email, file sharing services, social media platforms, or other means for use in connection with awards programs, promotional campaigns, marketing materials, or other Company initiatives. By submitting User-Submitted Media to us, the submitter grants to GotSoccer and its affiliates an irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, edit, modify, adapt, create derivative works from, publish, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, broadcast, stream, and otherwise exploit the User-Submitted Media, in whole or in part, in any format or medium now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, including without limitation advertising, marketing, promotional materials, social media, websites, publications, and compilation videos. The submitter represents and warrants that: (a) the submitter owns the User-Submitted Media or has obtained all necessary rights and permissions to submit it and grant the rights described herein; (b) the submitter has obtained consent from all individuals appearing in the User-Submitted Media, including parental or guardian consent for any minors; and (c) the User-Submitted Media does not infringe upon the rights of any third party. We may require submitters to execute a separate Media Submission Release Agreement prior to our use of User-Submitted Media.
  12. Artificial Intelligence and Large Language Models   We do not use or sell your Personal Information to develop, train, or fine-tune large language models or other generative artificial intelligence systems. Where we use third-party tools that incorporate artificial intelligence to provide our Services (for example, customer-support chat features), those tools are governed by the service-provider terms described in this Privacy Policy and are contractually prohibited from using your Personal Information to train their own models for unrelated purposes.
  13. Sensitive Information.  When responding to a request to access your Personal Information, we will not disclose your Social Security number, driver’s license, or other government-issued identification number, financial account number, or biometric data. Instead, we will confirm whether we have collected that information.
