GotSoccer Terms of Use

GotSoccer Terms of Use

Effective Date: April 1, 2025

THESE TERMS OF USE HAVE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISION. THEY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM.

Welcome to GotSoccer, the leading sports registration and management software provider serving coaches, parents, athletes, clubs, leagues, associations, and governing bodies. These “Terms of Use” are a legal agreement between you, as a user of our services, and GotSoccer, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GotSoccer”). These Terms of Use apply to all GotSoccer websites, mobile applications, software platforms, and social media accounts that link to these Terms of Use (collectively the “Sites and Services”). Our Sites and Services include the GotSoccer, GotSport, GotSport Pro, GotSport Travel, GotSport App, GotSport Pay, and GotSport Ticketing software platforms. Unless otherwise indicated in those platforms, these Terms of Use apply to each. The Sites and Services are the property of GotSoccer and are subject to the following terms and conditions. Please read these Terms of Use carefully. By accessing and using the Sites and Services, you agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms of Use, you must not access or use our Sites and Services.

1. Use of Our Sites and Services.

Our Sites and Services are owned and operated by GotSoccer. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Sites and Services for your personal use only, provided that you do not (and do not allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work from, reverse engineer, reverse assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Sites or Services. GotSoccer reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. GotSoccer may terminate this license at any time for any reason or no reason. You agree that these Terms of Use are supported by good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you hereby acknowledge. Such consideration includes, without limitation, your access and use of our Sites and Services.

2. Application of Terms and User Classifications.

(a) User Classifications. These Terms of Use distinguish between two types of users:

(i) “Customers” means any team, club, league, association, tournament organizer, or other governing body that uses our Sites and Services to manage registrations, events, payments, or other administrative functions. Customers typically have administrative access to the GotSport Software platforms.

(ii) “End Users” means individual users such as parents, players, coaches, referees, or other participants who access our Sites and Services to register for events, make payments, view schedules, or otherwise participate in activities managed through our platforms.

(b) Application to Customers. For Customers, these Terms of Use apply only to the extent there is no separate written agreement between GotSoccer and the Customer governing the use of our Sites and Services. Where such a separate agreement exists, the terms of that separate agreement shall control with respect to any conflicting provisions, and these Terms of Use shall apply only to matters not addressed in the separate agreement.

(c) Application to End Users. For End Users, these Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and GotSoccer regarding your use of our Sites and Services, regardless of whether the organization through which you access our Sites and Services has a separate agreement with GotSoccer.

(d) Hierarchy of Agreements. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and any separate agreement between GotSoccer and a Customer, the following order of precedence shall apply: (i) the separate agreement between GotSoccer and the Customer; (ii) these Terms of Use; (iii) any other policies or guidelines referenced in these Terms of Use.

(e) Acceptance. By accessing or using our Sites and Services, both Customers and End Users agree to be bound by these Terms of Use to the extent applicable as described in this Section.

3. Term and Termination.

By accessing or using our Sites and Services, you agree to be bound by GotSoccer’s Terms of Use, and upon your initial access to or use of our Sites and Services, the term of these Terms of Use (the “Term”) will begin. The Term will continue for as long as you continue to access or use our Site and Services or for as long as you have an account with us (a “GotSport Account”), which may be until you close or we terminate your GotSport Account in accordance with these Terms of Use, whichever happens first. If these Terms of Use, or your GotSport Account, are terminated or suspended for any reason: (a) the license and any other rights granted under these Terms of Use will end, (b) you agree to immediately terminate and cease use of all Sites and Services, (c) we may delete your information and account data stored on our servers, and (d) we will not be liable to you or any third party for compensation, reimbursement, or damages for any termination or suspension of the Sites and Services, or for deletion of your information or account data. In addition to any payment obligations under the Payment Terms, the following sections of these Terms of Use survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms upon termination: 5 (Personal Information and User Content), 7 (Code of Conduct), 8 (Intellectual Property Rights), 11 (Payment Processing), 13 (GotSport Software Fees & Refund Policy), 17 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 18 (Limitation of Liability and Damages), 19 (Indemnification), 20 (Choice of Law and Arbitration), 21 (Waiver of Jury Trials and Class Actions), and 25 (Other Provisions).

4. GotSport Account Registration.

Certain services provided by GotSoccer require you to register for a GotSport Account. In that event, you agree to provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself. You agree that GotSoccer may use the information to provide you with the services. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your GotSport Account (including your username and password information) and for restricting access to your GotSport Account. You agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur in your GotSport Account. Additionally, you agree to notify GotSoccer immediately of any unauthorized access or use of your GotSport Account or password or any other breach of security. We reserve the right to terminate your GotSport Account at any time. In the event of any dispute between two or more parties regarding account ownership, we will be the arbiter of such dispute at our sole discretion. Our decision (which may include termination or suspension of any GotSport Account subject to dispute) will be final and binding on all parties.

5. Personal Information and User Content.

(a) Personal Information and User Content. Some of our Sites and Services work through your input or transfer of information that may be subject to applicable privacy and data security laws (“Personal Information”). In addition, Some of our Sites and Services may allow you to provide content such as user profile information, images, videos, comments, questions, and other content (“User Content”). You represent and warrant that your User Content and Personal Information: (i) is owned by you or you control all necessary rights to it, (ii) does not violate, misappropriate, or infringe on the rights of any third party, including intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or publicity rights, (iii) is accurate, not obscene, false, libelous, or defamatory, (iv) will not encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense or gives rise to civil liability, (v) does not advertise products or services, and (vi) will not cause injury to any person, entity, or system. By posting User Consent, you grant us an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, copy, display, and distribute it. You retain all rights in your User Content and Personal Information, subject to the rights you grant us in these Terms of Use. GotSoccer assumes no liability for any User Content you post and is not obligated to monitor User Content. GotSoccer may, in its sole discretion, remove any User Content at any time and for any reason. You agree and understand that we are not responsible for and do not endorse User Content posted by another person. You agree to hold us harmless for any loss or damage caused to you, whether directly or indirectly, in connection with any User Content posted by another person.

Please review our Privacy Policy to learn more about our information collection, use, and disclosure practices. Our use, retention, or disclosure of User Data and User Content is for the sole business purpose of performing our services.

You further agree that you are solely responsible for all use of the Sites and Services by your Child, regardless of whether you authorized such use.

All Materials contained in the Sites and Services, including without limitation the intellectual property rights in them, are the property of GotSoccer or its subsidiaries, affiliated companies, or licensors.

THE USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES, EXCEPT FOR USE AS PERMITTED IN THESE TERMS OF USE, IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED, INFRINGES ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF OTHERS, AND MAY SUBJECT YOU TO CIVIL AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES, INCLUDING POSSIBLE MONETARY DAMAGES FOR COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.

9. Security.

GotSoccer will maintain reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access to, use of, or disclosure of any Confidential Information provided as part of the GotSport Software and Services and any other protected information defined by applicable laws and regulations. You agree and understand that using the Sites and Services necessarily involves transmitting data over networks not owned, operated, or controlled by GotSoccer. You agree that Gotsoccer shall not be responsible for any data lost, altered, intercepted, or stored across such networks. You understand that hosting data online involves unauthorized disclosure or exposure risks and that you assume these risks in accessing and using the Sites and Services.

10. Third-Party Links.

Our Sites and Services may link to other sites we do not control. In addition, you may have visited our Sites and Services through a link or a banner advertisement on another site. In such cases, the site you linked from may collect your information. These third-party sites are governed by their privacy policies. When visiting such sites, you should review these privacy policies to see how they collect and use this information. We are not responsible for such third-party sites’ content or privacy practices.

11. Payment Processing.

Your team, club, league, association, or other governing body (each our “Customer”) may obtain payment from you via an integrated payment portal with third-party banking institutions and processing agents (the “Payment Processors”). Such Payment Processors receive the information needed to verify and authorize your credit card or other payment information. These payment processors adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS and are managed by the PCI Security Standards Council. GotSoccer is not responsible for processing the payment between our Customer and you. We do not store or collect your payment card details, do not handle any of our Customers’ funds, and are not involved in any payment processing between you and our Customer. Any payment issue or dispute between you and our Customer should be directed to our Customer. You agree that GotSoccer is not liable in any way to you arising from or related to (directly or indirectly) payment processing transactions between you and our Customer.

12. Modification of Terms of Use.

From time to time, we may revise these Terms of Use. We will provide notice of such revisions either by revising these Terms of Use and indicating at the top of this page the date these Terms of Use were last revised or by emailing the email address associated with your GotSport Account, or both. You agree that you must visit these Terms of Use periodically to review any such revisions. Changes to these Terms of Use will be effective on the date noted in the posting. By continuing to access or use our Sites and Services after effective revisions, you accept and agree to abide by them.

13. GotSport Software Fees & Refund Policy.

GotSoccer may charge a software fee for its services (a “GotSport Software Fee”). The GotSport Software Fee, if applicable, is displayed on the payment page before payment. GotSoccer may collect taxes, as required by law, which you agree to pay unless you provide GotSoccer with timely, appropriate, complete, and accurate information and documentation satisfying the legal and tax requirements of the relevant government or tax authority to establish that the otherwise applicable tax is not required to be collected by GotSoccer. Any such GotSport Software Fee is non-refundable even if the payment to which it relates is canceled, refunded, or credited by the club or tournament.

14. Additional Terms for Mobile Application Users.

The following additional terms apply if you access our Sites or Services through a mobile device, including any of our mobile applications. GotSoccer grants you the right to use the mobile application only for personal use. You must comply with all applicable laws and third-party terms of use when using the mobile application (e.g., your wireless data service agreement). The mobile application may not have the same functionality on the applicable Sites and Services.

15. Additional Terms for GotSport Ticketing Users.

If you use our GotSport Ticketing platform, you are responsible for reading the complete ticket details before purchasing the tickets. You cannot change or cancel any ticket order after the sale is complete. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. Whether any refunds are granted for canceled events will be made solely by the event host, our Customer. You may be charged service fees for buying tickets. Service fees may vary depending on the event type and location. Service fees or taxes, if applicable, will be disclosed to you before purchasing a ticket. GotSport Ticketing service fees are non-refundable. The GotSport Ticketing platform may not be used to resell tickets already sold, distributed, or forwarded through the GotSport Ticketing platform.

16. Additional Terms for GotSport Pay Users.

(a) For GotSport Pay Users Who Receive Payments. If you register to create an account to receive payments via our GotSport Pay application, you expressly authorize GotSoccer’s service provider, Dwolla, Inc., to originate credit transfers to your financial institution account. You must be at least 13 years old and obtain parental permission if under 18 to receive funds. You authorize GotSoccer to collect and share your personal information with Dwolla, including your full name, email address, and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. Dwolla’s Privacy Policy is available here.

(b) Electronic Consent for 1099 Tax Form Processing. You agree to electronically deliver tax forms via email or a secure portal.

(c) For GotSport Pay End Users. To use the payment functionality of our GotSport Pay Software, you must open a “Dwolla Account” provided by Dwolla, Inc. and accept the Dwolla Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Any funds held in or transferred through your Dwolla Account are held or transferred by Dwolla’s financial institution partners. You must be at least 18 years old to create a Dwolla Account. You authorize us to collect and share your personal information with Dwolla, including full name, date of birth, social security number, physical address, email address, and financial information, and you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that data. You understand that you will access and manage your Dwolla Account through GotSport Pay, and Dwolla account notifications will be sent by GotSoccer, not Dwolla. We will provide customer support for your Dwolla Account activity through the GotSport Support Center.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties.

YOU ACCEPT THE SITES AND SERVICES “AS IS” AND AS AVAILABLE, WITH NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING FROM STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE.

18. Limitation of Liability and Damages.

(a) IN NO EVENT WILL GOTSOCCER BE LIABLE FOR ANY GENERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, BREACH OF SECURITY, COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR UNAVAILABILITY OF THE SITES AND SERVICES.

(b) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF GOTSOCCER IS LIMITED TO (I) THE GOTSPORT SOFTWARE FEES PAID BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM FOR LIABILITY, OR (II) $500, WHICHEVER IS GREATER. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SECTION APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER BASIS, EVEN IF GOTSOCCER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.

(c) YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT GOTSOCCER HAS OFFERED ITS SITES AND SERVICES, SET ITS PRICES, AND ENTERED INTO THESE TERMS OF USE IN RELIANCE UPON THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN. YOU AGREE THAT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN REFLECT A REASONABLE AND FAIR ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES (INCLUDING THE RISK THAT A CONTRACT REMEDY MAY FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE AND CAUSE CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS) AND THAT THE DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND GOTSOCCER.

19. Indemnification.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless GotSoccer and its subsidiaries, agents, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Sites and Services, including any data or work transmitted or received by you, (b) your violation of any term of these Terms of Use, including without limitation, your breach of any of the representations and warranties above, (c) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy, publicity rights or intellectual property rights, (d) your violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or any other country, (e) any claim or damages that arise as a result of any of your User Data or any other data that is submitted via your account, or (f) any other party’s access and use of the Sites Services with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code. GotSoccer will have the right to control the defense, settlement, adjustment, or compromise of any such claims, actions, or proceedings by using counsel selected by GotSoccer. GotSoccer will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claims, actions, or proceedings upon becoming aware of them.

20. Choice of Law and Arbitration.

These Terms of Use and your use of our Sites and Services will be governed solely by the laws of the State of Florida, without any conflicts of law principle that would apply the substantive laws of another jurisdiction to the parties’ rights or duties. For any dispute with GotSoccer, you agree first to contact us at legal@gotsport.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If GotSoccer has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after sixty (60) days, you agree to submit all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and GotSoccer to mandatory, binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes in Jacksonville, Florida. The costs of arbitration shall be shared according to the fee schedule provided by the AAA for consumer-related disputes, ensuring fairness and accessibility to both parties. The arbitration will proceed according to the simplified rules designed for consumer disputes. This section does not limit either party’s right to seek provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during, or after arbitration, including but not limited to any claim for equitable relief. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered by any court with competent jurisdiction. Any requirement in these Terms of Use to pay or reimburse court costs or attorneys’ fees includes, without limitation, a requirement to reimburse costs and fees related to such arbitration. This section is subject to the operation of the 1958 United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. Nothing in this Section shall prevent GotSoccer from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights. If mandatory local laws apply to you that prohibit the application of Florida law or arbitration, those local laws will apply to the extent required.

21. Waiver of Jury Trials and Class Actions.

EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION COUNTERCLAIMS REGARDING SUCH DISPUTES, CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PARTIES’ NEGOTIATIONS AND INDUCEMENTS TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, AND OTHER CHALLENGES TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE TERMS OF USE. THE WAIVER IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE APPLIES REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF DISPUTE, WHETHER PROCEEDING UNDER CLAIMS OF CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE USE OF THE SITES AND SERVICES, WHETHER PROCEEDING UNDER CONTRACT OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER THEORY (COLLECTIVELY, “THIS AGREEMENT’S CLAIMS”). THIS AGREEMENT’S CLAIMS INCLUDE WITHOUT LIMITATION, COUNTERCLAIMS, CLAIMS RELATED TO THE PARTIES’ NEGOTIATIONS AND INDUCEMENTS TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, AND OTHER CHALLENGES TO THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THESE TERMS OF USE. THE PROCEEDINGS EXCLUDED ABOVE IN SECTION 21 (WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS) INCLUDE, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION AND PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS.

22. Electronic Communications.

You agree that we may make communications available to you by posting them on our websites or sending an email to the email address you provide to us that is associated with your GotSport Account, or both and that such communications, as well as notices, disclosures, agreements and other communications that we provide to you electronically, are equivalent to communications in writing and shall have the same force and effect as if they were in writing and signed by us.

GotSoccer will not be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, wars, terrorism, riots, civil unrest, government action, or internet service provider failures or delays. In the event of such event, GotSoccer will promptly notify you and resume performance as soon as reasonably possible. If a force majeure event continues for more than 30 consecutive days, either party may terminate these Terms of Use upon written notice.
