Terms

Draft, not legal advice

Last updated: October 15, 2026

These terms are a first draft that needs legal review. They describe the rules for using CourtCritic, a free social app for logging and rating basketball games. By using the app, you agree to these terms.

Who can use CourtCritic

You must be at least 13 years old and meet any higher minimum age required where you live. If you are under the age of legal adulthood, use the app with permission from a parent or guardian where required by law.

Your account

Provide accurate account information, protect your password, and do not let others use your account. You are responsible for activity you authorize through your account. Tell us if you suspect unauthorized access. Do not impersonate someone else or try to bypass access controls.

Your content belongs to you

You keep ownership of the reviews, messages and photos you post. Only upload content you own or have permission to share. By submitting content, you give CourtCritic a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to store, display, reproduce and format it as needed to operate the app and show it to the audience you choose. Service providers may process it on our behalf for those purposes.

This license does not transfer ownership or let us sell your content. When you remove content, we stop displaying it through normal app features, although backup copies, required records and copies other fans made may remain. Digital ticket stubs are souvenirs, not valid admission tickets.

Community rules

Talk basketball respectfully. No harassment, threats, hate speech, spam, scams, illegal content or sexually explicit content. Do not publish someone else's private information, ticket barcodes or copyrighted material without permission. Do not manipulate ratings, disrupt chats, scrape private information or interfere with the app's security.

You can disagree with a take without attacking the person who wrote it.

Reports and moderation

Use the report option on content or email us if something breaks the rules. We may check text and photos, remove or limit content, and suspend or close accounts for violations or safety reasons. Automated checks can make mistakes; contact us to ask for a review. We cannot promise that every harmful post will be caught immediately.

Availability and no warranty

CourtCritic is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent the law allows, we do not promise uninterrupted service, perfect security, accurate scores or statistics, or error-free AI recaps. Features may change or be unavailable. CourtCritic is independent and is not endorsed by basketball leagues or teams. Keep your own copies of memories you do not want to lose.

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CourtCritic and its operator are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits, or loss of data arising from use of the app. Where the law allows a financial limit, our total liability for claims related to the app is limited to US $100. Nothing in these terms excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot legally be limited, including liability for fraud or intentional misconduct.

Leaving the app

You may stop using CourtCritic at any time. To request deletion of your account and data, email us from your account email. Our Privacy notice explains what may need to be retained. Ownership, necessary retention permissions and legal provisions continue where appropriate after account closure.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and will revise the date above. For significant changes, we will provide reasonable notice in the app or by email when practical. Continuing to use the app after updated terms take effect means you accept them. If you do not agree, stop using the app.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of New Jersey, United States, without applying conflict-of-law rules, except where the mandatory laws of your home jurisdiction give you protections that cannot be waived. These terms do not remove any non-waivable consumer rights.
