Terms of Service

1. Eligibility

1.1 Minimum age

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the App.

1.2 Ages under 18

If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may only use the App with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. By creating an account, you represent that you have obtained this consent, and that your parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf and to supervise your use of the App, including your interactions with Coach accounts. ATABEAST relies on this representation and does not independently verify age or guardian consent.

1.3 Enforcement

The App is not directed to, and we do not knowingly permit use by, anyone under 13. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 13, or to a 13- or 17-year-old without the required consent, we will suspend or terminate it.

2. Your account

2.1 Registration

To use most features of the App, you must create an account by providing an email address, verified by a one-time passcode. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date.

2.2 Account types

The App supports Athlete and Coach accounts. Coach accounts may be asked to submit verifying documentation (such as certifications or credentials). We review this information and may approve, deny, or revoke Coach status, or certain Coach features, at our discretion. Submitting documentation does not guarantee approval.

2.3 One account

You may not create more than one account, create an account on behalf of someone else without authorization, or impersonate any person or entity.

2.4 Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at support@atabeast.com if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

3. Your content

3.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of the text, photos, videos, comments, and other content you post or upload to the App ("User Content").

3.2 License to Atabeast

By posting User Content, you grant ATABEAST a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, and adapt your User Content solely to operate, promote, and improve the App (for example, displaying your posts to other users, generating thumbnails, or resizing images/videos for different devices). This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for content already shared with or reposted by other users, or copies retained for legal, backup, or moderation purposes for a reasonable period.

3.3 Your responsibility

You are solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting it. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to post your User Content and that it does not violate any third party's rights or any law.

3.4 Content standards

You agree not to post content that:

• Is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, abusive, threatening, or hateful;
• Depicts or promotes violence, self-harm, or exploitation of any person;
• Infringes another person's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights;
• Is sexually explicit or exploits or endangers anyone;
• Impersonates another person or misrepresents your affiliation with any person or organization;
• Contains spam, unauthorized advertising, or malicious code;
• Is intended to deceive, defraud, or manipulate athletic performance, recruiting, or eligibility information.

3.5 Removal

We may review, remove, or restrict access to any User Content, and suspend or terminate accounts, that we believe violate these Terms, without notice, at our discretion.

4. Reporting and moderation

The App lets users report posts, comments, and accounts that may violate these Terms. Reports are reviewed by our administrators on a best-effort basis, who may take action including removing content, restricting features, or suspending or terminating accounts. We are not obligated to take any specific action in response to a report.

5. Tracking profiles, tagging, messaging, and communication

5.1 Tracking profiles

You may track other users' profiles to follow their public activity on the App. Account privacy settings may control who can track your profile.

5.2 Tagging

You may tag other users in your posts to link their profile to your content. Tagging does not require the tagged user's advance approval, but any user may disable being tagged at any time in Settings, and we will not add a tag for a user who has opted out. A user who is tagged in a post may remove themselves from that tag at any time; only the tagged user can remove their own tag, and tagging someone does not imply their endorsement of, involvement in, or agreement with the tagged post. Tagged users may also report a post under Section 4 if they believe a tag is abusive, false, or otherwise violates these Terms.

5.3 Coach-to-athlete messaging

The App includes a direct messaging feature that currently allows Coach accounts to initiate one-to-one conversations with Athlete accounts. This feature is intended for legitimate athletic communication (such as recruiting, coaching, or training discussions). You agree not to use messaging to harass, solicit inappropriately, or contact anyone for purposes unrelated to athletics. We may monitor, limit, or disable messaging features at our discretion and are not responsible for the content of communications between users or for any interactions, relationships, or agreements (athletic or otherwise) that result from them. Some Athlete accounts may belong to users under 18. Coaches must communicate with all Athletes, including minors, only for legitimate recruiting, coaching, or training purposes, and must comply with all applicable laws regarding communication with minors.

5.4 No guarantee

We do not guarantee that any coach, athlete, or other user is who they claim to be, or that any credentials, statistics, or claims made by users are accurate. You are responsible for exercising your own judgment when interacting with other users.

6. Prohibited conduct

In addition to the content standards above, you agree not to:

• Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms;
• Harass, bully, stalk, threaten, or intimidate any other user;
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated means to access or collect data from the App;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the App, other accounts, or our systems;
• Circumvent or interfere with any security or access-control features;
• Upload viruses, malware, or other harmful code;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App except as permitted by law;
• Use the App to advertise or solicit for any unrelated commercial purpose without our consent.

7. Intellectual property

The App, including its design, features, graphics, logos, and the ATABEAST name and marks (excluding User Content), is owned by ATABEAST LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. If you believe content on the App infringes your copyright, contact us at support@atabeast.com with a description of the work, the allegedly infringing content, and your contact information, and we will review and respond.

8. Third-party services

The App uses third-party services to operate, including Firebase Cloud Messaging (for push notifications). Your use of these features is also subject to the applicable third party's terms and privacy policy. Your use of the App through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store is also subject to that store's terms of service. We are not responsible for the availability, content, or practices of third-party services.

9. Disclaimers

10. Limitation of liability

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ATABEAST LLC and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the App, your User Content, or your violation of these Terms.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time through the App's settings. We may suspend or terminate your account or access to the App at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason at our discretion. Upon termination, the license granted to you to use the App ends, and Sections 3.2 (as to already-shared content), 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 14 will survive.

13. Dispute resolution, binding arbitration, class action waiver

13.1 Agreement to arbitrate

You and ATABEAST LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court.

13.2 Class action waiver

You and ATABEAST LLC agree that each may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

13.3 Arbitration procedure

The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its rules then in effect, and will be conducted in Texas or another mutually agreed location, or by telephone or videoconference where permitted. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding, except for a limited right of appeal under applicable arbitration law.

13.4 Opt-out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing support@atabeast.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and that you opt out of the arbitration agreement.

13.5 Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, the state and federal courts located in Texas will have exclusive jurisdiction.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

15. General

15.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ATABEAST LLC regarding the App.

15.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.

15.3 No waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision.

15.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
