Terms of Service

Effective Date: [INSERT DATE]

Welcome to Ultimate Shoutouts (“Ultimate Shoutouts,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of our websites, products, and services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Ultimate Shoutouts provides a platform that enables youth sports clubs, teams, and organizations to run fundraising campaigns using real-time shoutouts and simple payments from supporters.

Ultimate Shoutouts is not a bank, not a payment processor, and not a charity. We provide technology that helps organizations collect payments and display supporter shoutouts.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services, create an account, or submit payments through the platform.

If you are using the Services on behalf of a team, club, or organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

To access certain features, you may need to create an account.

You agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
   
• Maintain the security of your login credentials
   
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account
   

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

If you create or manage a campaign (a “Campaign Organizer”), you are responsible for:

• The accuracy of campaign information
   
• Ensuring your campaign complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and organizational rules
   
• Managing donor communications and acknowledgements
   
• Ensuring funds are used for the stated purpose
   

We may suspend or remove campaigns that violate these Terms or appear fraudulent, misleading, or harmful.

If you submit a payment or shoutout (a “Supporter”), you understand that:

• Your payment is voluntary and non-refundable unless required by law
   
• Your shoutout may be displayed publicly during an event or campaign
   
• Campaign organizers may receive your name, message, and payment amount for reporting and acknowledgement purposes
   

Payments made through the Services are processed by third-party payment processors.

By making a payment, you agree to the payment processor’s terms and privacy policy.

Payments may be subject to:

• Payment processing fees (e.g., credit card fees)
   
• Platform service fees (if applicable)
   

Any applicable fees will be shown before you complete your payment.

Unless otherwise required by law, all payments are final and non-refundable, including payments associated with shoutouts.

Our Services may allow users to submit content, including shoutouts, messages, comments, and other materials (“User Content”).

You agree not to submit User Content that:

• Is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, threatening, or abusive
   
• Contains hate speech, explicit sexual content, or violence
   
• Includes personal information of minors (beyond a first name used for the shoutout)
   
• Infringes intellectual property rights
   
• Contains spam, malware, or deceptive links
   

We reserve the right (but are not obligated) to review, remove, or restrict any User Content at our discretion.

By submitting User Content, you grant Ultimate Shoutouts a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, distribute, and process that User Content solely for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Services.

This includes displaying shoutouts in real time during events and showing campaign-related content on the platform.

You agree not to:

• Use the Services for illegal purposes
   
• Attempt to hack, disrupt, or reverse engineer the Services
   
• Scrape, copy, or harvest data from the Services without permission
   
• Use automated bots to submit shoutouts or payments
   
• Misrepresent your identity or affiliation
   
• Use the Services to impersonate others
   

We may suspend or terminate access for violations of these Terms.

The Services, including all software, designs, logos, branding, text, and graphics, are owned by Ultimate Shoutouts or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services without our prior written permission.

The Services may include integrations with third-party services (such as payment processors, analytics tools, or social media platforms).

We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third parties. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if:

• You violate these Terms
   
• Your use creates risk for other users, campaign organizers, or Ultimate Shoutouts
   
• We are required to do so by law
   

You may stop using the Services at any time.

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ULTIMATE SHOUTOUTS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee that:

• The Services will be uninterrupted or error-free
   
• Shoutouts will display without delay
   
• Campaigns will reach any fundraising goal
   
• Payments will be successfully processed in all cases
   

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ULTIMATE SHOUTOUTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION.

IN NO EVENT WILL ULTIMATE SHOUTOUTS’ TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ULTIMATE SHOUTOUTS THROUGH THE SERVICES IN THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100 IF YOU MADE NO PAYMENTS.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ultimate Shoutouts and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from:

• Your use of the Services
   
• Your User Content
   
• Your campaign or fundraising activity
   
• Your violation of these Terms
   

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Notice, which explains how we collect, use, and share personal information.

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the Effective Date above.

By continuing to use the Services after changes become effective, you agree to the updated Terms.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [INSERT STATE], without regard to conflict of law principles.
