As between you and us, we own all rights in and to the Zofware Services. We grant to you a limited, revocable, non-assignable, non-exclusive, and non-sublicensable right to access and use the Zofware Services for your personal, non-commercial, and informational use only. You must not use the Zofware Services in any way that interferes with our ownership rights in and to the Zofware Services including, without limitation:

  • Misrepresenting the source of ownership of the Zofware Services;

  • Using robots, spiders, crawlers, scrapers, or any other automated methods to access, collect, or extract data from the Zofware Services.

3. USER CONDUCT.

  1. We created SimpleSportsCaster to give our users a way to non-commercially share and livestream non-professional soccer or lacrosse games via third-party products and services so that friends and family who couldn't attend the game can still follow the game in real-time or later on their own schedule. Users who play or coach non-professional soccer or lacrosse can also later review recorded footage to find ways to improve their team's skills and tactics. Please respect the original purpose behind SimpleSportsCaster and only use the application for these purposes.
  2. While using the Zofware Services, you must comply with all applicable rules, laws, and regulations including, without limitation: (i) YouTube's Terms of Service (found at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms), Community Guidelines (found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/policies/#community-guidelines), and all other terms, policies, requirements, and guidelines that apply to your use of the YouTube platform; (ii) TeamSnap's Terms of Service (found at https://teamsnap.com/terms); (iii) Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA); (iv) and all other terms, policies, requirements, and guidelines that apply to your use of TeamSnap's services and platforms.
  3. You must obtain all necessary rights and permissions before using the Zofware Services to record and livestream games. This means, for example, respecting people's right to privacy and getting permission before recording other individuals. This also means getting any necessary clearances and permissions from the venue at which the game is held and from event organizers. You are fully responsible for obtaining any and all necessary third-party rights, permissions, and clearances when using the Zofware Services to record and livestream games.
  4. Zofware does not have the ability to takedown live-stream or recorded feeds uploaded by users to third-party platforms. Users must contact the third-party platform directly to request that the content be taken down.

4. USER CONTENT.

Some parts of the Zofware Services may have features and functionalities that allow you to send, upload, and otherwise submit comments, messages, images, graphics, and other types of content and materials through the Zofware Services (“User Content”). By way of example, if we post blog articles on the Website, you may have the option to post public comments to those blog articles. You may also use SimpleSportsCaster to create a database of your favorite teams, upcoming games, and other relevant game information.

You must have all necessary rights and permissions to distribute the User Content on the Zofware Services. In addition, you must not share, post, and distribute content that is harmful and disruptive, or content that will cause harm if disclosed including, without limitation:

  • Content containing or promoting racism, hate speech, violence, and illegal activity;
  • Spam, unauthorized advertising, and other forms of solicitation;
  • Content intended to disparage, defame, abuse, intimidate, bully, threaten, or otherwise harass other people; and
  • Others’ personal information or any other information that you do not have the permission to disclose.

Although we want all users to comply with all User Content requirements, we do not have any obligation to monitor and review User Content for compliance. However, if we do see User Content that violates these rules or if we simply think that User Content is not appropriate for the Zofware Services, we may, at our sole discretion, either remove or edit the User Content without letting you know ahead of time, or we may terminate your ability to submit User Content. If you see User Content that violates these Terms, please let us know at info@simplesportscaster.com.
