You must be at least 13 years of age to use this App. By using the App, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use the App. Offseason is intended for athletes, coaches, and sports communities. By creating an account, you represent that the information you provide about yourself is truthful and accurate.

• Provide accurate information during registration and on your profile
• Keep your account information current and accurate
• Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

You may not create an account on behalf of another person or use a false identity. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false, misleading, or inappropriate information.

04 Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the App to:

• Harass, bully, threaten, or intimidate other users
• Post content that is hateful, discriminatory, obscene, or sexually explicit
• Impersonate another athlete, coach, or any other person
• Impersonate or falsely claim to represent a real team, school, or organization

• Post content that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others
• Use the app for any commercial solicitation or spam

• Tag or @mention other users in a harassing or unwanted manner
• Distribute team invite codes in ways intended to harass team members, such as sharing codes publicly to enable spam joins

We reserve the right to remove any content and suspend or terminate any account that violates these guidelines, at our sole discretion.

05 User-Generated Content

Offseason allows you to post content including text posts, profile information, photos, videos, Moments, sport tags, team names, team chat messages, pinned messages, and other team-related content ("User Content"). You retain ownership of your User Content. By posting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and reproduce your content (i) within the App in connection with operating its features, including feeds, profiles, leaderboards, suggested athlete discovery, team rosters, team chats, and profile share cards, and (ii) for promotional purposes related to the App, including in marketing materials, social media posts, press, and on joinoffseason.com.

You understand that other users may view your posts, profile, and activity according to your privacy settings. If your account is public, your content is visible to all Offseason users. Profile pages and posts may also be accessible via shareable links such as joinoffseason.com/profile/[username] and joinoffseason.com/post/[id], which open the App when installed or direct visitors to the App Store when not.

06 Leaderboard, Badges & Featured Content

Offseason features a weekly leaderboard that ranks posts by engagement within sport categories. Users may earn or be granted various recognition features within the app, including specialty badges (such as Pioneer, Founder, or Ambassador badges), leaderboard badges, and "Highlight of the Week" featured post status. These recognitions are purely for visibility within the app and carry no monetary value or guarantee of any external benefit. We reserve the right to award, modify, or revoke any badge or featured status at our sole discretion.

07 Teams & Captains

Offseason allows you to create and join teams. Any user may create a team and becomes the initial captain of that team. Captains may invite others to join, approve or deny join requests, promote other members to captain, remove members, edit pinned messages, change join mode settings, and delete the team.

Captain status is a privilege conferred at our sole discretion, not a right. Captains act on behalf of their teams and not as agents, employees, or representatives of Offseason. Captain decisions do not bind Offseason and we may, at our sole discretion, override, modify, or revoke captain actions, including removing a captain or restoring a removed member. Captains remain bound by these Terms in all team-related conduct, and abuse of captain privileges may result in account suspension or termination.

By joining a team, you understand that other team members will be able to see your profile information, posts, and activity to the extent necessary to participate in the team, including your username, profile photo, role on the team, and any messages you send in team chat or moments visible to teammates. Joining a team does not change your overall account privacy setting.

08 Intellectual Property

All app design, code, branding, logos, and non-user-generated content are the property of Offseason and protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes in accordance with these Terms.

09 No In-App Purchases

Offseason is currently free to use and does not offer in-app purchases or subscription services. This may change in the future, and any such changes will be reflected in an updated version of these Terms.

10 Disclaimers

The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. We are not responsible for the accuracy of user-provided profile information, including athletic credentials, school affiliations, or sport experience claimed by users.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

11 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Offseason and its founders, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from:

• Your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the App
• Any content posted by other users on the App
• Any reliance placed on user profile information, including recruiting-related information
• Unauthorized access to or alteration of your account or content
• Actions taken by team captains in their management of teams you join

12 Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Offseason and its affiliates, founders, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, or costs arising from your use of the App or your violation of these Terms.

13 Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, or third parties. Suspended accounts are temporarily restricted from accessing the App. Banned accounts are permanently restricted. The reason for suspension or ban will be communicated within the App. You may also delete your account at any time through Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account. Upon termination, your right to use the App ceases immediately.

14 Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Massachusetts.

15 Changes to These Terms
