Features may change over time, and not every feature is available to every user, sport, organization, or geographic location.

Because Spark My Sport serves youth and student athletes, special rules apply to minors.

Certain features require you to create an account.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to maintain that information.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Spark My Sport grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes.

Unless expressly authorized by Spark My Sport, you may not:

• Copy or reproduce the Services
• Modify or create derivative works of Spark My Sport software
• Sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or commercially redistribute the Services

• Artificial intelligence, machine-learning systems, and computer-vision technology
• Algorithms, analytics systems, databases, and data models
• User interfaces, designs, graphics, logos, and trademarks

Except for rights expressly granted under these Terms, no rights to Spark My Sport intellectual property are transferred to you.

Nothing in these Terms grants permission to use Spark My Sport trademarks, logos, branding, or proprietary technology without our written authorization.

The Services may allow users to upload, submit, record, stream, publish, transmit, or otherwise provide content ("User Content").

User Content may include:

• Game footage and practice footage

You retain ownership of intellectual property rights you hold in your User Content, subject to the licenses granted in these Terms.

By uploading, submitting, recording, streaming, transmitting, or otherwise providing User Content through the Services, you grant Spark My Sport a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to:

This license permits Spark My Sport to use automated technologies, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision, to process sports content as described in these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

The license does not transfer ownership of your original User Content to Spark My Sport.

If you upload, record, stream, distribute, or otherwise provide sports video or other media through Spark My Sport, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, permissions, releases, licenses, and consents necessary to do so.

This may include permissions relating to athletes, parents or guardians, coaches, teams, schools, leagues, tournament organizers, event operators, venues, broadcasters, photographers, videographers, and other rights holders.

Organizations using Spark My Sport to record or stream events are responsible for determining and obtaining any permissions required by applicable law, league rules, school policies, contracts, venue requirements, or organizational policies.

Spark My Sport's provision of recording, streaming, hosting, or analytics technology does not itself grant a user the right to record or distribute an event.

Spark My Sport may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, statistical models, and other automated technologies to analyze sports video and athletic information.

These technologies may generate player tracking, game statistics, performance metrics, video highlights, play identification, movement analysis, athlete comparisons, coaching/scouting insights, recruiting information, predictions, or rankings.

Users should independently evaluate information before making important coaching, recruiting, scholarship, roster, employment, eligibility, medical, or other decisions.

Spark My Sport may help athletes showcase their abilities and may help coaches, scouts, recruiters, schools, clubs, teams, and other organizations discover or evaluate athletes.

Athletic evaluations are subjective and may depend on numerous factors outside Spark My Sport's control. Analytics, rankings, statistics, video highlights, or other information provided through the Services should not be interpreted as a guarantee of future performance or recruiting outcomes.

Users may be able to create profiles containing information such as name, photograph, sport, team, school, position, jersey number, graduation year, athletic statistics, performance information, highlights, and recruiting information.

Users are responsible for ensuring that information submitted to an athlete profile is accurate and that they have authority to submit it.

Spark My Sport may remove, correct, restrict, or request verification of information that appears fraudulent, inaccurate, unauthorized, misleading, or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms.

Certain Services may permit coaches, scouts, recruiters, or organizations to view athlete information.

Spark My Sport does not independently guarantee the identity, credentials, employment, affiliation, authority, intentions, or legitimacy of every user identifying themselves as a coach, recruiter, scout, or representative of an organization unless we expressly state that such user has been verified.

Athletes and parents or guardians should exercise appropriate judgment when communicating with third parties.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to review, monitor, restrict, remove, disable, or refuse User Content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms, violates law, infringes rights, presents safety concerns, is inappropriate for youth athletes, is fraudulent, or could harm Spark My Sport or third parties.

Our decision not to remove particular content does not constitute an endorsement of that content.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Spark My Sport may update these Terms periodically. We will publish revised Terms and update the "Last Updated" date.

For existing users, if we make material changes, we may provide additional notice or request renewed acceptance when required by law.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under these Terms without Spark My Sport's prior written consent.

Spark My Sport may assign or transfer these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, corporate restructuring, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, unlawful, or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Spark My Sport's failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.

A waiver of one violation does not constitute a waiver of another violation.

Where a separate written agreement expressly conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement will control to the extent of the conflict.
