TERMS OF SERVICE
Updated: November 16, 2023
Welcome to LeaguePals! This Terms of Service (“Agreement”) constitutes a valid and binding agreement between LeaguePals Inc., (together with its affiliates, successors and assigns “LeaguePals,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and any visitors, users, and others who access our Services (“User,” “you,” or “your”). This Agreement explains the terms by which you may use our online and/or mobile services, application, website, and/or software (collectively the “Services” ).
By accessing or using the Services, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms herein. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services. You may only access and use the Services in accordance with this Agreement. You will adhere to all laws, rules, and regulations applicable to your use of the Services. LeaguePals may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the last modified date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Services after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Agreement. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future terms, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Services.
You represent to us that you are lawfully able to enter into contracts. You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if different than 18), an emancipated minor or in possession of consent by a legal parent or guardian and have the authority to enter into this Agreement. If you are under 13 years of age, additional restrictions apply (as provided herein) to be eligible to use the Services. In certain instances, LeaguePals may require you to provide proof of identity to create your account, or to access or use the Services, and you acknowledge and agree that you may be denied access or use of the Services if you refuse to provide such proof.

6. Children
a. If you are under the age of 18, you must get permission from a parent or guardian before you register and use the Services. You should review these Terms with them to make sure that you and your parent or guardian understand them. In addition, you must obtain permission from your parent or guardian any time payments are made through LeaguePals. Your parent or guardian may revoke their consent for you to use the Services at any time. We will disable your access to the Services if your parent has expressly refused or revoked their consent for you to use them. If your parent or guardian refused or revokes their consent, you may not use or continue to use your Account, create another Account or access or use the Services by any other means unless your parent or guardian provides their consent again or until you are 18 or older. We may withdraw or terminate your access to the Services for any other reason at our sole discretion.
b. We have taken the following measures to protect children under the age of 18: i. We only allow minors to register for the Services if they confirm they have obtained your permission to use the Services. ii. We only collect a limited amount of personal information from your child, as provided herein and in our Privacy Policy. iii. We will immediately suspend your child’s access if you inform us that you do not wish to permit your child to use the Services. We will delete their Account (including any personal information collected from them) within seven (7) days after receiving your request. iv. We want all Users, including children, to feel safe when using the Services. We therefore encourage all Users to use our Services responsibly. If we become aware that a User is harassing or bullying anyone through the Services, we will take firm and swift action against them, which may include temporary or permanent blocking of their access to the Services.
c. What we do not do: i. We do not make your child’s access or participation conditional upon your child disclosing more personal information than is reasonably necessary for them to enjoy the Services. ii. We do not give out or display any information we collect about your child on LeaguePals.com or any other website. iii. We do not allow Users to send direct messages to each other through the Services. iv. We do not send any marketing messages to your child if they are under the age of 16. We will only send marketing messages to Users under 18 but over 16 if they have opted-in and have told us that they have obtained your permission. v. Credit card or other payment information will only be maintained by our Payment Processor if your child is over 16, otherwise payment information must be entered each time weekly dues are paid for. If you prefer to have an Account where payment information is saved by our Payment Processor for easier payment, please open an Account for yourself in order to manage your child’s payments and leagues.
d. Additional for children under the age of 13. We know it is important for children to benefit from stronger controls. Therefore, we take additional measures to protect children under the age of 13. We will only allow your child access to the Services if we have received your express permission to do so and checked with you that you have provided that permission. We will not store or use the limited personal information we collect from your child if you do not provide that permission. To help you through this process, we have explained below the steps of the process that will occur when your child wishes to register with and access the Services. This process is designed to protect the privacy of your child and to comply with data protection and privacy law. i. The registration process begins when your child tells us that they are under 13 years of age by entering their date of birth during the registration process. ii. If your child informs us they are under 13 years of age, we will ask them to provide their first name, their country of residence and your email address so that we can obtain your permission. iii. We will send an email to the email address that your child provided for you to inform you that they have registered an Account. This email will ask you to indicate electronically whether you consent for us to collect the personal information your child has provided to us for the purposes described herein and our Privacy Policy and for your child to use and access the Services. The email will also contain: 1. details of the types of personal information we have collected from your child and how we wish to use that information. This information is also set out in detail below; 2. our confirmation to you that we will not collect any further personal information from your child and that we will not use any personal information we have collected, unless we have already received your permission to do so; 3. instructions as to how you can provide us with your consent electronically and agree to this Agreement on behalf of your child. iv. If you indicate that you do not wish to provide your consent or if you do not respond to our email within seven (7) days of receiving it, we will not allow your child access to the Services and we will delete any personal information we have collected from them. v. If you do provide your consent, we will allow your child access to the Services and electronically verify your consent. vi. We only collect the limited personal information from your child which we request directly. For further details on the information we collect and how we use that information please see our Privacy Policy. vii. We only use your child’s personal information for internal purposes. viii. We do not allow your child to link their Account with a social networking site such as Facebook. ix. If we make material changes to how we collect and use personal information from children under the age of 13, we will notify you by email in order to obtain verifiable consent for the new uses of your child’s personal information.
7. Proprietary Rights
a. The Services and all materials therein or transferred thereby, including, without limitation, software, images, text, graphics, illustrations, logos, patents, trademarks, service marks, copyrights, photographs, audio, videos, and music (the “LeaguePals Content”), and all intellectual property rights related thereto, are the exclusive property of LeaguePals and its licensors. Except as explicitly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a license in or under any such intellectual property rights, and you agree not to sell, license, rent, modify, distribute, copy, reproduce, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, publish, adapt, edit or create derivative works from any LeaguePals Content. Use of the LeaguePals Content for any purpose not expressly permitted by this Agreement is strictly prohibited. This Agreement does not provide you with title or ownership of any Services or LeaguePals Content, but only a limited right to use the same solely upon the terms expressly set forth in this Agreement. For the purpose of clarity, nothing provided under this Agreement is to be considered a “work for hire” and LeaguePals does not convey, transfer or assign to you any right, title and interest it may have now or in the future acquire, including but not limited to all intellectual property rights.
b. LeaguePals does not claim any ownership of the User Content submitted, posted, or displayed through the Services. You retain any and all ownership rights to the User Content that you submit and are responsible for protecting those rights. With respect to any User Content you submit or make available through the Services (other than personal or Confidential Information), you grant to LeaguePals a perpetual, irrevocable, nonterminable, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, right and license to use, copy, modify, create derivative works from, display and distribute, via any present or future medium, your User Content in order to provide the Services.
8. Payment
a. Certain aspects of the Services may be provided for a set fee, monthly or annual subscription, or other charge (“Fees”). You agree to the pricing and payment terms as we may update them from time to time. LeaguePals may add new services for additional fees and charges, or add or amend fees and charges for existing services, at any time in its sole discretion. Any change to our pricing or payment terms shall become effective in the billing cycle following notice of such change to you or at the end of your current subscription. LeaguePals will provide you with prior notice of any change in Fees to give you an opportunity to terminate your subscription before such change becomes effective. Your continued use of the Services after the Fee change comes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the modified Fee amount.
b. All Fees due from you to LeaguePals shall be paid in advance. LeaguePals offers three league payment options: credit/debit card, bank payment, and cash payment. All payment options will be associated with a transaction fee, which is calculated as (number of weeks paid for multiplied by the weekly transaction fee) = transaction fee. Users will be informed of the weekly transaction fee when payments are processed. The originating League User (“League Admin”) will choose which payment setting will be available for all League Users.
c. Please note that any payment terms presented to you in the process of using or signing up for Services are deemed part of this Agreement. LeaguePals uses a third-party payment processor (the “Payment Processor”) to bill you through a payment account linked to your Account. The processing of payments will be subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the Payment Processor in addition to this Agreement. We are not responsible for errors by the Payment Processor. By utilizing the Services, you agree to pay us, through the Payment Processor, in accordance with the applicable payment terms. LeaguePals reserves the right to change its prices and to offer discounts and temporary promotions. You agree that it is your responsibility to maintain a valid, non-expired credit card on file with us while engaging in fee-based activities on our Services. You agree that if you do not maintain a valid, non-expired card on file with us during any billing attempt, you may be subject to interest and penalties. You irrevocably and expressly authorize LeaguePals to withhold any monies and/or debit any monies from any account that you have identified to LeaguePals for any chargebacks, fees, costs, deductions, adjustments and any other amounts owed to LeaguePals.
d. You may cancel your Account at any time. However, you acknowledge and agree that there shall be no refunds under this Agreement for any reason. You are responsible for paying any balance or cancellation penalties due under your League rules, and LeaguePals will not be responsible for any deficiencies in League dues as a result of your cancellation. In addition, any prizes won through participation in a League may be discounted to reflect outstanding dues balances that are a result of your cancellation or a cancellation on the part of another User associated with your team. In the event that LeaguePals suspends or terminates your Account, or this Agreement, for any reason or no reason, you understand and agree that you shall receive no refund or exchange for any Trophies, any unused time on a subscription, any license or subscription fees for any portion of the Services, any content or data associated with your Account, or for anything else.
e. When using the Services, you may accumulate fictional property ("Trophies") related to the Services that reside as data on Leaguepals' servers. Notwithstanding any value attributed to such Trophies by you or any third party, you understand and agree that these Trophies, and any other data, Account history, Account content and User Content residing on Leaguepals' servers, may be deleted, altered, moved or transferred at any time for any reason in Leaguepals' sole discretion. Leaguepals does not provide or guarantee, and expressly disclaims, any value, cash or otherwise, attributed to any such Trophies or other data residing on Leaguepals' servers.
f. Fees are stated exclusive of any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including, for example, value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any jurisdiction (collectively, “Taxes”). You will be responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases. In the event that any amount payable by you to LeaguePals is subject to Taxes, LeaguePals may collect the full amount of those Taxes from you and said collection shall not reduce or somehow impact the amount to which LeaguePals is entitled. You will reimburse and indemnify LeaguePals for any Taxes, interest, and penalties that LeaguePals may be compelled to pay on account of your nonpayment. You must pay any applicable Taxes. In the event that any payments and/or amount payable by you to LeaguePals is subject to (i) any withholding or similar tax; (ii) any Taxes not collected by LeaguePals; or (iii) any other Taxes or other government levy of whatever nature, the full amount of that tax or levy shall be solely your responsibility and shall not reduce the amount to which LeaguePals is entitled under the Agreement. You will indemnify and hold LeaguePals harmless against any and all claims by any competent tax authority related to any such withholding or similar taxes and any penalties and/or interest thereon.

You consent and agree that the state and federal courts of Passaic County, New Jersey shall have personal jurisdiction over you, as well as subject matter jurisdiction with respect to any provision of this Agreement, and shall be the exclusive forums for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, subject to section b below. You also agree to and hereby waive your rights to a trial by jury and agree to accept service of process by mail.

In the unlikely event that LeaguePals has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as provided herein.

Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
