Terms of Use

Last updated: [DATE_OF_LAUNCH]

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Sparkoach platform and related services (the “Service”), operated by [ORG_NAME] (“we”, “us”, “our”). Please read them carefully. They are a placeholder draft and must be reviewed by a licensed attorney before go-live.

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” refers to that organization. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the service

Sparkoach is a software-as-a-service platform that helps coaches log athlete training sessions, generate AI-assisted progress reports, and share those reports with parents. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We do not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available.

3. Accounts and eligibility

  • You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
  • You are responsible for safeguarding your password and for all activity under your account.
  • You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account.
  • You must promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your account.
  • You are responsible for obtaining any consents required from athletes and parents before entering their data into the Service.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
  • Upload data you do not have the right to process, or infringe any third party's rights.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other accounts, or our systems.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without our written permission.
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service.
  • Reverse engineer, resell, or sublicense the Service except as expressly permitted.
  • Use the Service to send spam or unlawful, harassing, or abusive communications.

5. Billing and subscriptions

  • Paid plans are billed through Stripe on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) until cancelled.
  • By subscribing, you authorize us and Stripe to charge your payment method for the applicable fees.
  • Fees are stated exclusive of taxes; you are responsible for any applicable taxes.
  • Plans may include usage ceilings (e.g. AI generation limits); exceeding them may pause certain features until the next cycle.
  • You can cancel at any time from Settings → Billing (Stripe Customer Portal). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.
  • Except where required by law, fees already paid are non-refundable.
  • We may change pricing on prospective renewals with at least 14 days' notice.

6. Your content and data

You retain ownership of the data you submit to the Service (“Your Content”). You grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, and transmit Your Content solely to provide and improve the Service, including sending reports to the recipients you designate. Our handling of personal information is described in the Privacy Policy.

7. Intellectual property

The Service, including its software, design, and trademarks, is owned by [ORG_NAME] and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service; no other rights are granted by implication.

8. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (including Stripe for payments, Resend for email, and a configured AI provider for report generation). Your use of those features may be subject to the providers’ own terms. We are not responsible for third-party services we do not control.

9. Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. AI-generated reports may contain errors; you are responsible for reviewing them before sending. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, [ORG_NAME] will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or data, arising out of or related to your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid us for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [ORG_NAME] from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of the Service, Your Content, or your violation of these Terms or of any third-party rights.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or if we reasonably believe your use poses a risk to the Service or other users. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; data-retention and export rights are described in the Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will give notice (for example, by email or in-app) at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [GOVERNING_LAW_JURISDICTION], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. This clause and the venue for disputes must be confirmed by counsel before go-live.
