Terms of Service: LeagueBook

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using LeagueBook, you agree to play by these rules. If you don't agree, you may not access the app. It's a package deal.

2. Eligibility

• You must be at least 16 years old to use this service.
• You are responsible for maintaining the "defense" of your account (keeping your password secure). You are liable for all activity under your username.

3. User-Generated Content (UGC) & Chat

LeagueBook has a zero-tolerance policy for objectionable content and abusive behavior. Users who post objectionable content or engage in abusive behavior may have their content removed and their account suspended or terminated.

Our chat features are for building community, not tearing it down.

Ownership: You own the text and images you post, but you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, and display that content so the app functions.

Prohibited Conduct: You agree not to post content that is:

• Harassing, defamatory, or "trash talk" that crosses into hate speech.
• Sexually explicit or pornographic.
• Promotional spam or unauthorized commercial "scouting."
• Impersonating other athletes, coaches, or users.

Our Right to Ref: We reserve the right (but not the obligation) to monitor, edit, or remove any content or account that violates these terms.

4. Code of Conduct

To keep the sidelines clean, users must not:

• Use the app for any illegal activities.
• Attempt to "hack" or scrape data from the app.
• Use the chat features to bully or stalk other users.

5. Intellectual Property

The app's design, logo, code, and "secret sauce" belongs to LeagueBook. You get a limited, non-exclusive license to use the app for personal, non-commercial sports enjoyment. No copying the playbook!

Unauthorized framing of or linking to the Platforms, or the use of our trademarks without prior written consent, is strictly prohibited.

6. Ticket Sales, Live Event Data, and Affiliate Disclosure

• Ticket Purchases and Third-Party Redirection

  
  Ticket Purchases and Third-Party Redirection LeagueBook allows users to view sports event schedules, discuss upcoming games, and find tickets. When you click a link to purchase tickets within the App, you will be redirected to Ticketmaster or its verified ticketing partners.
  
  No Direct Sales: LeagueBook does not sell tickets, process payments, issue refunds, or handle customer service for events. All transactions are handled exclusively by Ticketmaster.
  
  We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the availability, pricing, seating charts, fulfillment, or cancellation of any tickets purchased through Ticketmaster. Your purchase is subject strictly to Ticketmaster’s own Purchase Policy and Terms of Use.

• Affiliate Relationship and Commissions

  
  In compliance with consumer protection guidelines (including the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and global equivalents), please be advised that LeagueBook participates in the Ticketmaster Affiliate Program managed via Impact.
  
  Affiliate Tracking: Some of the links displayed in chat feeds, event pages, or team schedules are affiliate tracking links. If you click through these links and buy tickets, LeagueBook may earn a small commission from Ticketmaster at absolutely no additional cost to you.
  
  Users acknowledge that per our agreement with Ticketmaster, commissions are not tracked or paid on certain high-demand ticket launches or during the initial 24 hours of a public on-sale event.

• Accuracy of Real-Time Event Data

  
  Event data (such as game dates, kickoff times, venue locations, and ticket availability) is pulled live from the Ticketmaster Discovery API.
  
  While we make every effort to display accurate, up-to-date data, sports schedules are subject to rapid change, postponement, or cancellation by leagues (e.g., NFL, NBA, MLB, MLS) and organizers.
  
  LeagueBook makes no guarantees regarding the real-time accuracy of this cached API data. Always verify the final game time, date, and venue details directly on the Ticketmaster checkout page prior to completing your purchase.
  

• Intellectual Property and Brand Trademarks

  
  All team names, logos, stadium names, and the "Ticketmaster" brand name and logo displayed within the App are the property of their respective trademark holders. Our display of these assets is strictly informational for the purpose of identifying sports events via the Ticketmaster API and does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or a direct corporate partnership between this App and the respective sports leagues or Ticketmaster.

7. Third Party Advertisement

Any dealings you have with advertisers or third-party vendors found on our Platforms are solely between you and that third party.

8. Termination

We reserve the right to "bench" you (suspend) or "cut" you (terminate) from the app at our sole discretion, especially for repeat violations of the Code of Conduct. You can also delete your account at any time.

9. Limitation of Liability

We aren't responsible for:

• Injuries sustained during sports activities coordinated through the app.
• Arguments or emotional distress caused by other users in the chat.
• Technical timeouts (server outages).

10. Changes to Terms

The game changes, and so do our rules. We will notify you of major changes via the app or email. Continued use of the app means you accept the new "game plan."
