5. Free vs Paid Service Tiers

5.1 Free Tier Limitations

Free tier users receive access to CourtClok Services on a "best effort" basis with NO WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES of any kind. Free tier limitations include:

  • NO uptime guarantees or service level agreements (SLAs)

  • NO support for critical events or real-time assistance

  • NO liability for data loss, service interruptions, or technical failures

  • NO guarantees of feature availability or performance

  • Services may be suspended, limited, or terminated at any time without notice

  • Lower priority for server resources during high-traffic periods

  • Limited or no access to customer support

5.2 Paid Tier Limitations

EVEN PAID SUBSCRIBERS ACKNOWLEDGE that CourtClok Services are provided "AS IS" and we cannot guarantee:

  • 100% uptime (technically impossible for any cloud service)

  • Zero data loss in all circumstances

  • Compatibility with all devices, operating systems, or configurations

  • Uninterrupted service during infrastructure failures, natural disasters, or force majeure events

  • Immediate resolution of technical issues or bugs

Paid subscriptions provide enhanced features and priority support, but DO NOT create liability for service failures, business losses, or damages of any kind beyond the refund limitations stated in Section 4.3.

5.3 Service Modifications

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any features, pricing, or service tiers at any time with or without notice. This includes:

  • Removing or modifying features previously included in your subscription

  • Changing pricing for future billing periods (with 30 days notice)

  • Discontinuing free tier or paid tier offerings

  • Migrating to different infrastructure or technology platforms

5.4 Advertising in Livestreams and on CourtClok

Advertising helps keep CourtClok running. By using the Services, you agree that:

  • Your sponsors (Pro plan): teams on a Pro plan can add their own sponsor ads. These are shown during the livestream as a banner and in the split-screen and break screens (timeouts, warm-ups and halftime).

  • Free plan: teams on the Free plan cannot add their own sponsor ads. CourtClok platform ads are shown instead, during the livestream (in the banner, split-screen and break screens), in the apps and on public game pages.

  • CourtClok ads in empty slots: when a team has no sponsor banner or split-screen ad set, CourtClok may show its own ads in those places to promote the CourtClok app.

  • Rewarded ads for fans: to unlock and watch a livestream, fans may be asked to view a short CourtClok rewarded ad first. This applies to livestreams run by both Free and Pro organizers. Organizers agree that their livestreams may be shown to fans this way.

  • Platform ads: outside the live stream, including game results, recaps and FanView after the game, CourtClok may show third-party ads, such as Google AdSense on our website and Google AdMob in our apps, to help cover server and streaming costs.

  • You are responsible for having the rights to any sponsor logos, images or videos you upload, and for the content of your sponsors' ads. We may remove sponsor ads that break these Terms or the law.

6. User Conduct

You agree NOT to:

  • Violate any laws or regulations

  • Infringe on intellectual property rights

  • Transmit malicious code or viruses

  • Harass, abuse, or harm others

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems

  • Use automated tools to access our Services (bots, scrapers)

  • Resell or redistribute our Services without permission

  • Upload false, misleading, or defamatory content

  • Interfere with the proper functioning of our Services

7. Intellectual Property Rights

7.1 CourtClok Ownership

All content, features, and functionality of our Services, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, icons, images, audio clips, video, data compilations, and software, are the exclusive property of CourtClok and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

7.2 User Content

You retain ownership of content you create or upload ("User Content"). By uploading User Content, you grant CourtClok a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and display your User Content solely to provide and improve our Services.

7.3 Trademarks

"CourtClok" and related logos are trademarks of CourtClok. You may not use these trademarks without our prior written consent.

7.4 Public Game Results and Visibility

CourtClok publishes game results so families, fans and players can follow them.

  • Free plan: games you run on the Free plan are public. Final scores, team names and logos, game date, location and sport, play-by-play, player statistics, written game recaps and links to livestreams may be shown on courtclok.com, in CourtClok FanView and in search engines. By using the Free plan, you agree to this.

  • Pro plan: a team on a Pro plan can choose to hide its team's games and statistics from public pages, in the app or by contacting us.

  • Players: even when a team is hidden, an individual player (or their parent or guardian) may still choose to make their own statistics and profile public. A player's profile is only public when they turn it on.

  • On public pages, players are shown by first name and last initial.

  • Livestreams are hosted on your own YouTube or other channel and follow that platform's visibility settings.

If you enter information about players, you confirm you have permission from each player, or for a minor their parent or guardian, for it to be shown as described above. To ask us to remove a game or a player's information from public pages, email legal@courtclok.com.
