5.1 Your Content

You retain ownership of all content you create or upload to the Service ("User Content"), including practice plans, custom drills, coaching notes, team rosters, and uploaded images. CompeteHQ does not claim ownership of your User Content.

5.2 License to CompeteHQ

By using the Service, you grant CompeteHQ a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and transmit your User Content solely as necessary to provide and operate the Service.

If you choose to share content to the CompeteHQ Community feature, you grant CompeteHQ and other users a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view, use, and adapt that content for their own coaching purposes.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from CompeteHQ's proprietary content outside of the Service without our written permission.

7. Roster Data and Minors

As a coach or team administrator, you may enter information about minor athletes on your team roster. By doing so, you represent and warrant that:

CompeteHQ processes roster data on your behalf for team management purposes.

See our Privacy Policy for more details on how we handle children's information.

14. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first: Before filing any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@competehq.io and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

Binding arbitration: If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising from these Terms or the Service shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in English and held remotely (by video or telephone) unless both parties agree to in-person proceedings.

Class action waiver: You agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You waive any right to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding.

Exceptions: Either party may bring a claim in small claims court if eligible. Either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for intellectual property infringement or unauthorized access to the Service.

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State in which CompeteHQ is headquartered, without regard to conflict of law principles. For any legal action not subject to arbitration, you consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in that jurisdiction.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated Terms on the Service with a new "Last Updated" date and, where feasible, by sending you an email notification at least 15 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
