Terms of Service

1. What Rival Nights is

Rival Nights is a web app for organizing game leagues and tournaments with friends. Some features are free and some are paid, as “Payments” below explains.

2. Your account

• Keep your sign-in secure, including the email account we send sign-in codes to.
• You must be at least 13 years old to use Rival Nights.
• An account is for one person. Use your real name, or the name your league knows you by.

3. Commissioners

• When you invite someone or add them to a team, you confirm they're happy for you to give us their name and email so we can invite them.
• You're responsible for your league's settings. If you make league information viewable by link (for example, spectator access or a shared result), anyone with the link can see what it shows.
• If you collect league money, players pay you directly, outside Rival Nights. It's yours to use for the league as you see fit, and you're responsible for following any law that applies and for any refunds. We don't process league money, aren't a party to arrangements between commissioners and players, and don't check that the payment details you enter are right.

4. What you post

What you post (names, team names, results, feed posts, comments and notes) stays yours. You give us permission to store it and show it to the people your league shares it with, so we can run and protect Rival Nights. Don't post anything illegal, harassing or hateful, or anyone else's private information.

5. Fair use

Don't:

• break the law or anyone else's rights,
• send invites or messages to people who haven't agreed to hear from you, or use Rival Nights to spam, phish or mislead anyone,
• pretend to be someone else, or use more than one account to get around limits or claim a free offer again,
• try to get around security or limits, get into accounts or leagues that aren't yours, or overload or disrupt the service,
• use bots or scrapers, copy Rival Nights' data in bulk, or resell access to it,
• pay with a card or account you aren't allowed to use, or
• use Rival Nights or league money for betting, wagering or gambling.

Rival Nights doesn't hold, award or pay out prizes. Trophies, shirts and other recognition are up to your league's commissioners.

We may limit, pause or refuse any feature, including publishing, scoring, invitations, free offers and account deletion, to prevent abuse, fraud or non-payment, or to protect Rival Nights and its users. This includes when a payment is unpaid, refunded or disputed. Where we can, we'll tell you why and how to fix it.

6. Payments

• Some features cost money. Before you pay, we show you the price in US dollars, what it covers, who can pay and when payment is due. Those details are part of these terms for that purchase. Payments are processed by Stripe.
• Where a league's cost can be shared among its players, the commissioner who published the league is responsible for any part still unpaid when it's due.
• We may offer free leagues, trials or other free features. Unless the offer says otherwise, each is one per person. We may change or end a free offer at any time; that doesn't take back anything you already got from it.
• We may change prices. A new price applies to purchases made after the change, never to something you already paid for. Subscriptions follow “Subscriptions” below.

7. Refunds and disputes

• Payments are final. We don't refund a purchase or a share of one, including when a league is cancelled or ends early, or a player leaves, except in these cases or where the law requires it.
• If two payments cover the same thing, we refund the extra one to the card it came from.
• If we stop running Rival Nights, or end something you paid for when you haven't broken these terms, we refund what you couldn't use: a league that hasn't started, or the unused part of a subscription period.
• If a payment is refunded or reversed through your card issuer, what it paid for counts as unpaid again, and “Fair use” above applies until it's paid.

8. Subscriptions

• A subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price and interval shown when you subscribed, until you cancel. What it includes, its limits and what happens to your leagues when it ends are shown before you subscribe.
• Cancel any time from your profile, or, if you can't sign in, through our contact form from the email address on your account. Cancelling stops the next renewal; the subscription runs to the end of the period you paid for, and we don't refund part of a period.
• Before a price change applies to your subscription, we'll tell you, and you can cancel before it does. We also send the renewal reminders the law requires.
• If a renewal payment fails, we may try it again; if it still doesn't go through, the subscription ends.
• Deleting your account ends any subscription at once, with no refund for the rest of the period.

9. Emails

Rival Nights runs on email: sign-in codes, invites, reminders, league updates, and notices about your account and payments. These emails are part of the service. You can turn off optional emails on your profile. To stop the rest, leave the league, or delete your account on your profile (or ask us to).

10. Changes and availability

Rival Nights is early-access software. We may add, change or remove features and limits at any time, and we may suspend or end the service. We'll give notice by email when we reasonably can. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or that we reasonably believe is involved in fraud or abuse.

11. Other companies' services

Rival Nights relies on other companies for things like payments, email and hosting. When you use one through Rival Nights, such as paying through Stripe, its own terms may also apply.

12. Playing at your own risk

Rival Nights helps you organize; it doesn't run, host or supervise your games. You and your league are responsible for your events, venues and safety. Schedules, standings and results are tools for your league, and your commissioner has the final say.

13. No warranty, and limits on liability

Rival Nights is provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, and our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50.

14. Law

Florida law governs these terms. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts located in Florida, unless the law where you live says otherwise.

15. Changes to these terms

When we change these terms, we'll update the date at the top. If a change reduces your rights or raises what you pay, we'll email account holders before it takes effect. Other changes, such as for new features, clarity, security, fraud prevention or the law, take effect when we post them. Using Rival Nights after a change takes effect means you accept it.
