Terms of Service

By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using TournyScout (the “Service,” “we,” “us”), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Notice. If you are using the Service on behalf of a team or organization, you represent that you are authorized to accept these terms on its behalf. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

TournyScout helps coaches and travel-team families discover, compare, and evaluate youth and amateur sports tournaments near their home field. We aggregate event information from public sources — organizer and sanctioning-body listings — then present distance, cost estimates, and a transparent 0–100 fit score to help you decide which events are worth playing.

Coaches can also review an event they played. Those reviews are shown on the event’s page as ratings and words from other coaches, and they are the coach’s opinion, not ours. They do not feed the fit score, which is calculated from the event data itself.

Important — verify before you commit. Event data is aggregated from public sources and is provided “as is,” with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness, or timeliness. Entry fees, dates, deadlines, divisions, venues, and policies change. You are responsible for confirming every detail directly with the official event or organizer before you register, pay, or travel. TournyScout is a scouting tool, not the event organizer, and does not run, sanction, or guarantee any tournament.

• You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to create an account.
• You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep it current, including your home territory and team details used to personalize nearby events.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.
• One person or team should not operate multiple accounts to evade plan limits or to get back in after we've removed an account.

Your use of the Service is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, which prohibits (among other things) scraping or automated bulk access, posting false or defamatory reviews, harassing other users or organizers, misusing director and organizer contact information, and attempting to breach the security of the Service.

If you break those rules we may rate-limit your requests, hide or remove the content involved, remove your account from an organization, or delete your account outright. There is no halfway “suspended” state today — an account is either active or gone — and deleting one takes its teams and saved plans with it.

• TournyScout offers a free plan and one paid plan. Paid features require an active subscription.
• The paid subscription is billed through Stripe, our payment processor. By subscribing you authorize recurring charges to your payment method at the then-current price.
• The subscription is billed monthly and renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. Prices may change with notice; changes take effect at your next renewal.
• You can cancel anytime from your account or billing portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; your paid access continues until the end of the current period. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable and we do not provide prorated refunds for partial periods.
• You are responsible for any taxes associated with your subscription that are not collected by us.

Two things you add are published where other people can see them, and both are yours (“User Content”). The first is a reviewof a tournament you played: a 1–5 rating, optional ratings for fields, competition, umpiring, and value, and optional text, shown on that event’s public page under your first name and last initial. We invite reviews by email after an event and the link in that email is what signs it, so you can leave one without logging in. You get one review per event, and going back to that link lets you change it for as long as the link is good — 90 days.

The second is the logo and photoyou upload for a team. Those appear on that team’s shared page — an unlisted link you choose who to hand out — and to anyone in the same organization as the team.

You keep ownership of your User Content. By posting it, you grant TournyScout a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, display, and reproduce it to operate the Service: showing your review on the event page and counting it in that event’s rating average, and showing your team’s images where the Service displays them. You are solely responsible for what you post, and you represent that you have the right to post it — a photo of someone else’s child is not yours to publish.

Your review has to be truthful, based on your genuine experience, and not defamatory, misleading, or written to unfairly harm an organizer or event. We don’t have a tool to reword what you wrote and we don’t want one — a review we act on is hidden, not quietly edited. If a review breaks these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, an administrator hides it and it leaves the event page and the average. If an image does, we clear it off the team and delete the stored file, so the link stops working for anyone who kept it. Anyone can report either without an account: every review carries a Report link, and every shared team page carries one at the bottom.

The Service — including its software, scoring methodology, design, branding, and compiled data presentations — is owned by TournyScout and protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You may not copy, resell, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the Service or extract its data in bulk except as expressly permitted. Third-party names, event names, and sanctioning-body marks belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only.

THE SERVICE AND ALL EVENT DATA, SCORES, COST ESTIMATES, AND REVIEWS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any event information is accurate or current. Scores and estimates are informational aids, not advice or a guarantee of any outcome.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TOURNYSCOUT AND ITS OPERATORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR COSTS OF TRAVEL, REGISTRATION, OR SUBSTITUTE EVENTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE OR ANY RELIANCE ON EVENT DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless TournyScout and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your User Content, or your violation of these terms, the Acceptable Use Policy, or applicable law or the rights of a third party.

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may remove your content or delete your account if you violate these terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or if necessary to protect the Service or other users. Either way, a deleted account takes its teams, saved plans, and uploaded images with it. Reviews you published stay on the event page but are de-identified — the rating and the words remain, because the event’s public rating average is built from them; your name comes off. Sections that by their nature should survive (content license, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, and governing law) continue to apply.

We may update these terms as the Service evolves. When we make material changes we will update the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, notify you. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in Georgia will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these terms or the Service, and you consent to venue there.
