Article 1 — Agreement to Terms

1.1 Binding Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of the SPORDO platform, including the website, waitlist, real-time dashboard, interactive maps, permit-status layers, lighting schedules, availability indicators, notifications, referral tools, APIs, data layers, and any related content, software, or services (collectively, the "Service").

A user may use the Service only if that user affirmatively accepts these Terms in the manner described below and remains in compliance with them at all times. If a user does not agree to these Terms, that user must not access or use the Service.

1.2 Clickwrap Acceptance; Record Retention

SPORDO may require users to accept these Terms through a clickwrap mechanism, including by checking an unchecked box, clicking an "I agree," "Join Waitlist," "Continue," "Create Account," "Submit," or similar assent button presented with reasonably conspicuous notice of these Terms. Where such a mechanism is presented, the user's affirmative action constitutes electronic acceptance of these Terms and any incorporated policies.

SPORDO may create, store, and maintain records of assent, including timestamps, IP-related data, device or browser identifiers, session metadata, page-flow records, and the version of the Terms presented at the time of acceptance, and those records shall be admissible to prove assent to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Passive browsing, mere website visitation, or viewing of publicly accessible pages without an affirmative assent action does not by itself constitute acceptance where SPORDO requires clickwrap acceptance for the relevant feature or transaction.

1.3 Incorporated Policies

These Terms incorporate by reference any additional policies or notices that SPORDO publishes for the Service, including the Privacy Policy, community rules, referral rules, or feature-specific terms, each as updated from time to time.

Article 2 — Operator Status and No Personal Guaranty

2.1 Pre-Entity Operator Status

SPORDO is currently operated by two individual co-founders in a pre-entity or unincorporated capacity. References in these Terms to "SPORDO," "operator," "owner," "platform," "service provider," "founders," "us," "our," or "we" mean the Service and its individual co-founders solely in their capacity as operators of the Service and solely to the extent applicable law requires or permits.

2.2 No Personal Guaranty

Nothing in these Terms creates a personal guaranty of platform performance, data quality, uptime, safety, lawful third-party conduct, park access, field conditions, athletic suitability, or uninterrupted service. No founder personally guarantees that any feature, dataset, infrastructure provider, public source, map layer, permit record, lighting timeline, or user submission will perform in any particular manner.

2.3 No Fiduciary or Insurance-Backed Obligation

Nothing in these Terms creates any fiduciary duty, special relationship, custodial duty, inspection duty, rescue duty, insurance-backed obligation, surety obligation, or enhanced duty of care running from any founder to any user or third party beyond non-waivable law.

2.4 Personal Asset Protection

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any right or remedy asserted by a user shall be interpreted narrowly and shall not extend to any founder's personal home, savings, wages, investments, personal equipment, vehicles, phones, computers, or other personal assets unless a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that non-waivable law requires otherwise after all defenses have been fully exhausted.

Article 2A — Eligibility, Minor Users, and Parental Consent

2A.1 Minimum Age

The Service is intended only for users who are at least 13 years old. Persons under 13 may not use the Service, submit information to the Service, join the waitlist, or participate in any referral or leaderboard feature.

2A.2 Users Ages 13–17; Responsible Adult Co-Assent

A user who is at least 13 but under 18 may use the Service only if that user's parent or legal guardian or other legally authorized responsible adult ("Responsible Adult") affirmatively accepts these Terms through SPORDO's clickwrap flow on the minor's behalf and permits the minor's use of the Service. By giving such assent, the Responsible Adult represents that they have legal authority to bind the minor and themselves.

The Responsible Adult agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to be jointly and severally bound by all waivers, releases, disclaimers, indemnification obligations, arbitration commitments, class action waivers, and other risk-allocation provisions in these Terms, both individually and on behalf of the minor user.

2A.3 COPPA Notice; Under-13 Deletion

SPORDO does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If SPORDO learns that a user under 13 has submitted personal information or otherwise used the Service, SPORDO may delete the information, terminate access, and take any related remedial action without notice.

2A.4 No Age-Verification Obligation

SPORDO has no obligation to investigate, confirm, monitor, or verify any user's age, identity, or parental authority. Any misrepresentation of age, parental status, or legal authority is solely the risk and responsibility of the user and/or Responsible Adult making that representation.

2A.5 New York Child Data Protection Act (CDPA) — Users Ages 13–17

In compliance with the New York Child Data Protection Act (N.Y. Gen. Bus. Law § 899-ee et seq.), users aged 13 through 17 who are located in or residents of New York State will be presented with a separate, standalone consent screen prior to any processing of their personal data beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the Service. SPORDO does not sell, share for advertising purposes, or disclose for profiling purposes any personal data of users under the age of 18 without the consent described above.

Article 3 — Description of the Service

SPORDO provides a web-based dashboard intended to help users view, interpret, and interact with information relating to NYC sports field permit statuses, lighting schedules, court availability, and related recreational-use conditions. The Service may incorporate public municipal schedules, crowdsourced updates, estimated timelines, map overlays, user submissions, analytics, and technical infrastructure from third-party tools and data sources.

SPORDO is an informational and convenience tool only. It is not an official municipal source, not a permitting authority, not a reservation guarantor, not a safety certification provider, not a coach, not a referee assignor, not a park operator, not a premises owner, not a venue manager, and not a substitute for direct confirmation with a park authority, permit holder, league organizer, school, coach, or other relevant third party.

Article 4 — AS-IS Data Disclaimer

SPORDO aggregates and displays information from public municipal schedules, crowdsourced field updates, user submissions, inferred availability signals, estimated lighting timelines, map layers, and other third-party or derived inputs. Because those inputs may lag, change, conflict, break, be incomplete, be stale, or contain human or technical errors, SPORDO does not guarantee that any field, court, permit, closure notice, gate status, lighting schedule, or availability indicator is fully accurate, fully current, complete, reliable, or suitable for any specific purpose.

All data, maps, overlays, schedules, timelines, alerts, availability indicators, dashboard outputs, and related content are provided strictly AS IS, AS AVAILABLE, and WITH ALL FAULTS. Users assume all risk of relying on the Service. Before traveling, paying fees, organizing play, hiring referees, booking transportation, gathering teams, or making athletic or scheduling decisions, users are solely responsible for independently verifying all material facts with official sources, local conditions, and applicable third parties.

Article 4A — Third-Party Infrastructure Disclaimer

SPORDO may rely on third-party infrastructure, hosting, waitlist, analytics, mapping, and software components, including without limitation Vercel for hosting and deployment, LaunchList for waitlist and referral functionality, CartoDB for mapping or map tiles, and Leaflet.js for interactive map display, together with any connected APIs, SDKs, plugins, vendors, networks, CDNs, browsers, operating systems, and internet service providers (collectively, "Infrastructure Providers").

Infrastructure Providers are independent third parties outside SPORDO's ownership and direct control. SPORDO does not guarantee their uptime, security, integrity, compliance, performance, continuity, storage practices, or service levels. To the fullest extent permitted by law, SPORDO and its founders disclaim all liability arising from or related to any outage, slowdown, failure, delay, misconfiguration, deletion, corruption, breach, compromise, interception, routing failure, analytics malfunction, referral error, email-delivery failure, tile-render failure, API breakage, data loss, or other act or omission of any Infrastructure Provider.

Article 5 — No Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service and all related content, data, code, APIs, maps, notifications, communications, and outputs are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise. This includes any implied warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, quiet enjoyment, uninterrupted access, error-free operation, non-malicious code, data integrity, or compatibility.

Without limiting the foregoing, SPORDO disclaims any warranty that: a field or court shown as open will actually be open; a park gate will be unlocked; a permit status is valid, current, enforceable, or honored; a lighting schedule will occur as estimated or at all; a referee, team, opponent, coach, or spectator will appear as planned; a game, practice, scrimmage, or event will be safe, lawful, uninterrupted, or free from dispute; any user-submitted or crowdsourced update is truthful, non-misleading, complete, or timely; or any park, field, court, or surrounding area is safe, supervised, permitted, maintained, or fit for athletic use.

Article 6 — Assumption of Risk and Express Physical Release

Participation in sports, travel to parks, use of public recreational spaces, attendance at games, and reliance on schedule or permit information all involve inherent and unavoidable risks, including weather changes, unsafe or defective surfaces, locked facilities, poor or failed lighting, physical collisions, third-party misconduct, law-enforcement actions, permit disputes, crowd conflicts, theft, assault, falling equipment, hidden hazards, debris, wet conditions, uneven pavement, broken fences, unmarked closures, and athletic injury.

By using the Service, each user voluntarily assumes all risks arising from travel decisions, attendance decisions, participation decisions, venue-access decisions, scheduling decisions, and sports-related activities connected in any way to information displayed by SPORDO. Each user is solely responsible for determining whether a location is open, safe, permitted, suitable, supervised, and lawful for use.

BY USING THE SERVICE, EACH USER, AND EACH RESPONSIBLE ADULT ACTING FOR A MINOR USER, EXPRESSLY, VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY, AND IRREVOCABLY ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF PERSONAL INJURY, BODILY HARM, ILLNESS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, ECONOMIC LOSS, AND DEATH ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO: (A) TRAVELING TO ANY LOCATION IDENTIFIED, DISPLAYED, OR REFERENCED BY SPORDO; (B) ENTERING, REMAINING AT, EXITING, OR OTHERWISE ACCESSING ANY PARK, COURT, FIELD, SIDEWALK, STREET, SCHOOL YARD, OR RECREATIONAL FACILITY; AND (C) WATCHING, ORGANIZING, OR PARTICIPATING IN ANY SPORT, ATHLETIC ACTIVITY, PRACTICE, SCRIMMAGE, TRAINING SESSION, GAME, OR RELATED EVENT. THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE EXPRESSLY INCLUDES RISKS ARISING FROM LOCKED GATES, DEFECTIVE SURFACES, FAILED OR DELAYED LIGHTING, BROKEN EQUIPMENT, COLLISIONS, SLIPS, FALLS, WEATHER, ASSAULTS BY THIRD PARTIES, THEFT, LAW-ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS, MUNICIPAL RESTRICTIONS, TRESPASS ALLEGATIONS, PERMIT DISPUTES, OVERCROWDING, USER MISCONDUCT, AND ANY OTHER CONDITION OR EVENT AT OR NEAR A PHYSICAL LOCATION. SPORDO OWES NO DUTY TO INSPECT, PATROL, MONITOR, VERIFY, WARN ABOUT, CONTROL, OR SUPERVISE ANY PHYSICAL LOCATION OR PERSON.

Article 7 — Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SPORDO, its founders, operators, developers, advisors, contractors, volunteers, licensors, service providers, successors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, enhanced, or statutory damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, goodwill, use, data, opportunity, reputation, fees, or expected savings, arising out of or relating to the Service, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Without limitation, this exclusion applies to claims arising from or related to: incorrect, stale, missing, or delayed field or court data; locked park gates or inaccessible facilities; permit conflicts or disputes with third parties; cancelled games, practices, tournaments, or reservations; lost booking fees, permit fees, league fees, referee fees, transportation costs, or equipment costs; athletic injuries, collisions, assaults, unsafe conditions, or property loss; user reliance on crowdsourced updates, comments, estimates, or map indicators; third-party actions or omissions; outages, bugs, scraping, hacking, malware, API failures, map tile failures, referral errors, hosting downtime, analytics disruptions, or Infrastructure Provider failures.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim that is not lawfully excluded shall be limited in the aggregate to the lesser of: (a) the amount actually paid by the claimant to SPORDO for the specific Service feature giving rise to the claim during the three months preceding the event at issue, or (b) USD $25. If the claimant paid nothing, the maximum aggregate liability shall be $0 to the extent permitted by law.

Article 8 — Release of Claims

To the fullest extent permitted by law, each user, and each Responsible Adult acting for a minor user, irrevocably releases, waives, and discharges SPORDO and its founders, operators, developers, advisors, contractors, volunteers, service providers, licensors, Infrastructure Providers, and affiliates from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses of every kind, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising from or relating to the user's access to, reliance upon, or use of the Service.

This release includes, without limitation, claims relating to permit reliance, venue access, crowdsourced data, user submissions, scheduling changes, lighting estimates, public-source inaccuracies, referral participation, waitlist participation, travel decisions, sports participation, or any in-person event or consequence occurring after viewing or using the Service.

Article 9 — Indemnification

Each user, and each Responsible Adult on behalf of a minor user, agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SPORDO and its founders, operators, developers, advisors, contractors, volunteers, licensors, service providers, successors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, investigations, liabilities, judgments, settlements, losses, damages, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to: the user's access to or use of the Service; the user's violation of these Terms; the user's violation of law or the rights of any third party; the user's submissions, crowdsourced updates, comments, or content; any in-person conduct at parks, courts, fields, schools, or related venues; or any fraud, harassment, doxing, scraping, reverse engineering, abuse, bot use, or referral manipulation by the user.

Article 10 — Acceptable Use and Prohibited Conduct

Users may use the Service only for lawful, personal, internal, non-commercial, and authorized purposes. Users may not: scrape, crawl, harvest, mirror, or extract SPORDO's APIs, datasets, or structured data except as expressly authorized; reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code or architecture from the Service; use bots, scripts, headless browsers, or automated agents to access the Service in a manner that overloads systems or copies protected data; circumvent authentication, security, paywalls, rate limits, or anti-fraud measures; use the Service to stalk, harass, threaten, dox, intimidate, bully, bait, impersonate, target, or otherwise mistreat other players, coaches, teams, referees, permit holders, schools, or park users; submit false, misleading, malicious, defamatory, or strategically deceptive crowdsourced field updates or reports; or use the Service in connection with unlawful conduct, commercial exploitation, competitive intelligence gathering, model training, resale, republication, or any purpose that harms SPORDO, users, municipalities, or local park communities.

Article 11 — Crowdsourced Updates and User Submissions

If the Service permits users to submit field reports, gate updates, lighting observations, photos, comments, ratings, messages, or other content ("User Submissions"), each user remains solely responsible for that content and represents that the submission is lawful, accurate to the best of the user's knowledge, and does not violate any law or third-party right.

SPORDO does not endorse, verify, or guarantee any User Submission and assumes no responsibility for errors, omissions, defamation, harassment, threats, fraud, or other harms caused by user-provided content. SPORDO may review, moderate, remove, preserve, refuse, monitor, or disclose User Submissions at any time in its sole discretion.

By submitting content, each user grants SPORDO a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, display, distribute, analyze, use, and create derivative works from that content for platform operation, moderation, fraud detection, analytics, legal compliance, safety review, and product improvement.

Article 12 — Waitlist, Referral Program, and Leaderboard Rules

If SPORDO offers a waitlist, referral program, leaderboard, launch incentive, early-access promotion, or reward tier through LaunchList or any similar provider, participation is a revocable privilege and not a guaranteed right. SPORDO reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to review, investigate, disqualify, reset, suspend, remove, or permanently ban any referral account, leaderboard position, reward eligibility, or waitlist status if SPORDO suspects cheating, fake emails, disposable addresses, self-referrals, bot activity, script-driven signups, coordinated abuse, identity manipulation, account farming, clustered signups, repeated-device abuse, or any attempt to game the referral engine. All leaderboard placements, reward decisions, and anti-fraud determinations are final, binding, and non-appealable.

Article 13 — Intellectual Property

The Service, including its name, branding, compilation, selection, arrangement, layout, software, code, designs, text, graphics, logos, look and feel, dashboards, maps, data presentation, referral systems, anti-fraud systems, and proprietary features, is protected by intellectual property and other laws. As between SPORDO and the user, SPORDO owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Service and related intellectual property.

Subject to compliance with these Terms, SPORDO grants users a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Service solely for its intended personal use. Except as expressly permitted by these Terms or non-waivable law, users may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, index, create derivative works from, train models on, or commercially exploit the Service or any part of it without prior written authorization.

Article 14 — Suspension and Termination

SPORDO may suspend, disable, restrict, remove, or terminate access to the Service, any account, any waitlist entry, any referral status, any submission, or any content at any time, with or without notice, for any reason or no reason, including suspected misuse, fraud, technical risk, legal risk, security concerns, reputational risk, inactivity, or business discontinuation. SPORDO shall have no liability arising from any suspension, refusal of service, ranking adjustment, removal decision, or termination decision.

Article 15 — Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

Before commencing arbitration or any court proceeding allowed under these Terms, a claimant must send a written notice of dispute describing the claim and requested relief, and the parties must attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally for 30 days. Except for small-claims matters properly brought on an individual basis or claims for injunctive relief expressly permitted by these Terms, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration rather than in court. Any such arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect (available at adr.org), or, if the AAA declines or is unavailable, by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules, with proceedings conducted in New York County, New York, or remotely by video or telephone at SPORDO's election.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, users waive any right to participate in or seek relief through any class action, collective action, representative action, private attorney general action, coordinated proceeding, consolidated action, or mass arbitration. All disputes must be brought solely on an individual basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each user also waives any right to a jury trial in any permitted court proceeding.

Article 16 — Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent federal law preempts state law or non-waivable consumer protections apply. If the arbitration provisions are held unenforceable as to a particular dispute, then exclusive venue for that dispute shall lie in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.

Article 17 — Injunctive Relief and Self-Help

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, SPORDO may seek immediate temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, specific performance, account freezes, IP blocking, bot filtering, access revocation, referral suspension, and other equitable remedies for suspected scraping, unauthorized data extraction, reverse engineering, fraud, abuse, harassment, security threats, or infringement. Because unauthorized scraping, fraud, and infrastructure abuse can cause irreparable harm not adequately compensable by money damages, each user agrees that SPORDO may pursue these remedies without posting bond to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Article 18 — Severability and Maximum Enforceability

If any provision of these Terms is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remainder of these Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Any unenforceable exculpatory, release, waiver, arbitration, liability-limiting, indemnity, or founder-protective provision shall be reformed narrowly to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the strongest lawful protection for SPORDO and its founders.

Article 19 — Changes to the Terms

SPORDO may modify these Terms from time to time by posting an updated version with a revised effective date. Continued access to or use of the Service after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the fullest extent permitted by law. For material changes affecting dispute rights, arbitration, releases, or liability limitations, SPORDO may provide supplemental notice through the Service, email, or another reasonable method.

Article 20 — Contact

All legal notices, COPPA data deletion requests, misuse reports, and formal support inquiries must be directed to SPORDO at: legal@spordo.app. For general support, users may also contact spordomedia@gmail.com. Legal notices are effective upon SPORDO's written acknowledgment of receipt.

Article 21 — Privacy Policy and Data Practices

21.1 Data Collected

SPORDO and its Infrastructure Providers (including Vercel and LaunchList) may collect the following categories of information when users access the Service or join the waitlist: (a) email address submitted at registration or waitlist signup; (b) IP address and approximate geolocation derived from network requests; (c) device identifiers, browser type, and operating system; (d) session metadata, page-flow data, and referral source; and (e) any field reports, crowdsourced updates, or other User Submissions voluntarily provided. SPORDO does not knowingly collect payment information, government-issued ID, or precise GPS location.

21.2 How Data Is Used

Data collected is used solely for: (a) operating and improving the Service; (b) managing the waitlist and referral program; (c) detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and scraping; (d) complying with applicable law; and (e) communicating with users about Service updates, launch status, and referral activity. SPORDO does not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third-party advertisers.

21.3 COPPA — Parental Deletion Requests

In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, parents or legal guardians who believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information to SPORDO may request deletion by emailing legal@spordo.app with the subject line "COPPA Deletion Request." SPORDO will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate and delete the relevant information within 30 days of receiving a verified request.

21.4 Data Retention

SPORDO retains personal data as follows: (a) waitlist email addresses: retained until the Service launches and the waitlist closes, or a maximum of 24 months from collection, whichever is earlier; (b) referral and leaderboard data: retained for 12 months after the referral campaign ends; (c) assent and acceptance records (timestamps, IP data, acceptance version): retained indefinitely for legal defense purposes; (d) minors' personal data: deleted within 30 days of SPORDO learning the user is under 18, unless valid consent has been obtained or processing is strictly necessary to deliver the Service.
