Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the Global Sports Slowpitch website at gsslowpitch.com and the Global Sports Slowpitch mobile application (collectively, the "Platform"), operated by Global Sports Slowpitch, LLC ("Global Sports Slowpitch," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Platform.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account on the Platform. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into these terms. Accounts for team rosters containing information about minors must be created and managed by an authorized adult (parent, guardian, or coach).

3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account. Our Platform uses passwordless authentication via magic link emails. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during the registration process and to update such information to keep it accurate, current, and complete. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Tournament Registration & Payments

Tournament registration fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated in the specific event listing or at the sole discretion of Global Sports Slowpitch. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. By submitting payment, you agree to Stripe's terms of service.

Registration for a tournament is not confirmed until payment is received and the team is approved by the tournament director. Global Sports Slowpitch reserves the right to reject any registration at our discretion.

5. Player Eligibility

Participating teams and players must satisfy the eligibility requirements published for each tournament, including any age, roster, and division rules. Global Sports Slowpitch is not responsible for verifying individual player eligibility — this responsibility lies with team captains, managers, and organization administrators.

6. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Platform for any unlawful purpose
• Submit false, misleading, or inaccurate information
• Impersonate any person or entity
• Interfere with or disrupt the Platform or its servers
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Platform

11. Assumption of Risk

Softball is an inherently physical sport.

Participation in any tournament is at your own risk.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Global Sports Slowpitch, LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the Platform or violation of these Terms.

13. Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Service at any time. We will notify users of material changes by posting the updated terms on this page. Your continued use of the Platform following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

14. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform will immediately cease. Provisions of these terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.
