All the above, as well as additional features, functionalities, websites/app and user interfaces are collectively referred to as the “Software and/or Services”.

In addition to the terms of this Subscription Agreement, some areas of our Software and Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions. The following terms (where applicable) are incorporated by reference and shall govern your access and use of the Software and/or Services (collectively, the “Agreements”):
| Terms of Use |

ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
If you are entering into this Subscription Agreement on behalf of an Organization, the terms “Administrator” (as defined below), “you” and “your,” as used throughout the Agreements, apply to both you and the Organization together. You represent that you have the authority to bind such Organization and by accessing or using the Software and/or Services, you acknowledge that the Organization accepts and agrees to be bound by the Agreements. If you do not agree with (or cannot comply with) the Agreements, then you should not proceed, and the Organization may not use or access the Software and/or Services.
CHANGES TO AGREEMENTS
We may amend any terms of the Agreements from time to time in our sole discretion. Where we make material changes, we will provide you with notice as we deem appropriate under the circumstances. Your continued use and access to the Software and/or Services after the changes have been made will constitute your acceptance of the changes. Please therefore make sure you read any such notice carefully. If you do not agree with (or cannot comply with) the updated terms of the Agreements, then you should not continue to use or access the Software and/or Services, but we shall not be liable to provide a refund and/or compensate for any other losses you may incur as a result.
PRECEDENCE
Where there is a conflict between any terms contained in the Agreements then, unless the contrary intention appears or is stated, the terms of this Subscription Agreement shall take precedence.
DEFINITIONS
The following definitions applies throughout the Agreements:
Organization:
the sports governing body, federation, league, team, club or similar entity, that requires SportsEngine to provide Software and/or Services so that their Administrator(s) can manage their sports via the Software and/or Services and for their Members and end-users to access and benefit from.
Administrator(s):
the person(s) responsible for the operation and administration of the Organization and includes anyone else who is given administrative access to the Software and/or Services.
Member(s):
members of the Organization including athletes, parents/legal guardians of athletes, the Organization’s workforce (which includes volunteers, coaches, and Administrators) or other associated persons of the Organization that benefit as end-users of the Software and/or Services.
Organization Data:
means any Personal Data (as defined under applicable law) that relates to the Organization’s Members and Administrators provided to SportsEngine in relation to SportsEngine’s provision of the Software and/or Services and that is not SportsEngine Data, which includes Registration Data or Usage Data. Registration Data is data that has been directly and independently collected by SportsEngine to access its services (e.g., through the SportsEngine single sign-on process). Usage Data is data about the Organization’s, Administrator’s or Member’s use of SportsEngine.
2. TERM
This Subscription Agreement comes into effect when you click the “I Accept” button or, where applicable, when you pay any Subscription Fee (as defined below).
Depending on the payment model the Organization has opted for (Free, Annual or Monthly), the Subscription Agreement will continue until terminated early in accordance with Section 6 or upon the Organization providing notice that it does not want to renew at the end of the current subscription term (“Subscription Term”), unless otherwise agreed or set forth in an order form or statement of work.
Some Software and Services require a Subscription Fee (as defined below), which must be paid otherwise the Organization and its Members will not be able to access the Software and/or Services. However, in some instances where the Organization fails to make a payment of an applicable Subscription Fee, this does not necessarily mean that the Organization will lose access to the Software and/or Services, though we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Software and/or Services. It may mean that some of the features and functionality will be inaccessible and/or the Payment Processing Fees (as defined below) may automatically increase (for example the Organization’s account may move from Premium to Freemium and will no longer be eligible for the discounted Payment Processing Fee available to Premium subscribers). The Organization will not be entitled to a refund, rebate, or credit and SportsEngine will not be liable for any losses incurred by the Organization where it fails to pay a Subscription Fee.
3. FEES AND PAYMENTS
SUBSCRIPTION FEES
Where applicable, before you (and your Members) can use or access the Software and/or Services, you may be required to pay the applicable subscription fee as set out on the online form presented to the Organization (“Subscription Fee”).
The Subscription Fee, unless stated otherwise, shall be exclusive of any applicable taxes.
The Subscription Fee is non-refundable and will cover the Organization’s (including its Members) access and use of the Software and Services for the Subscription Term as set out above.
The Subscription Fee is subject to change at the discretion of SportsEngine. SportsEngine will notify the Organization of any such change (increase or decrease), which shall not take effect until the end of the current Subscription Term as set out in any such notice to the Organization.
By registering an account with us and using the Software and/or Services, you confirm that the information you provide during the registration process, including all identification, billing and credit card information, as well as the information already stored in the Software and/or Services about you, is accurate. You agree to update such information promptly if it changes. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, if you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate or incomplete, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that such is the case, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account or subscription and refuse any and all current or future use by you of any of the Software and/or Services. You agree not to register or subscribe for more than one account, create an account on behalf of someone else or create a false or misleading identity on any of the Software and/or Services.
If your account or subscription is revoked for any reason, you agree not to register or subscribe to our Software and/or Services using another username or through any other means, without our express permission. If we have reason to suspect, in our sole discretion, that your account has previously been terminated, we reserve the right to terminate any new account(s) you have registered without any notice to you, and to exercise any other remedies available to us under this Subscription Agreement or by law.
AUTO-RENEWALS
Where your Subscription is based on auto-renewal either an annual or monthly Subscription Fee and if your Organization does not wish to renew, you must inform us (by giving us at least thirty (30) days’ notice) before the end date of your current Subscription Term, or your subscription will automatically renew for additional periods equal to the expiring Subscription Term and we will automatically charge your Organization’s account the Subscription Fee. If we take a payment from you automatically at the end of your Subscription Term as outlined above and you failed to give us notice of your intent not to renew, you will not be entitled to a refund.
FAILURE TO PAY
Where you fail to make a payment due or where we are unable to automatically charge you (if your Subscription is under auto-renewal), then this may result in the suspension or termination of your access to the Software and/or Services, or may limit the features and functionality, and/or increase any ongoing fees such as Payment Processing Fees. We may also charge you a reasonable fee in addition to any owed payments to re-instate the Software and/or Services.
UPGRADES
Where possible and agreed by SportsEngine, you may upgrade or amend the Software and/or Services we provide you. In such circumstances, you will pay the applicable amount of such upgrade or amendment. You may be required to accept additional terms when making a payment. In any event, the Agreements will continue to govern our relationship and any upgrades and/or amendments, unless stated otherwise.
ADVERTISEMENTS & MARKETING
SportsEngine may display advertisements across its Platforms and Services it delivers to the Organization, including on Organization websites built through the SportsEngine Online Sports Website Builder. SportsEngine will retain any and all revenue obtained from advertisements. In placing advertisements, SportsEngine is able to keep the costs of its Platforms and Services to a minimum and allow it to maintain and continue to invest in the development of such.
SportsEngine will not deliver any advertising content that is indecent, obscene, pornographic material, hate speech, illegal subject matter or activities or other content which does not meet SportsEngine’s quality and standards as in effect from time to time.
Further, the Organization acknowledges that SportsEngine may request consent from Members in relation to receiving electronic marketing communications from SportsEngine and affiliated businesses, via its Platforms and specifically through the SportsEngine sign-up/registration flow.
