Terms of Service

Effective May 17, 2026

Welcome to Spotzy. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Spotzy app and website (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use Spotzy. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. By creating an account, you confirm that:

You are at least 13 years old, and
If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and our Privacy Policy and agrees to them on your behalf.

If you create an account on behalf of a minor, you (the parent or guardian) accept these Terms on the minor's behalf and are responsible for their use of the Service.

2. Your Account

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
You are responsible for all activity that happens on your account.
Provide accurate information when you sign up and keep it current.
One account per person. Don't impersonate someone else or create a fake account.
Notify us promptly at hi@spotzy.app if you suspect unauthorized access.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

Harass, threaten, or harm anyone, or upload content that does so.
Upload content that infringes another person's rights — including photos of identifiable people you don't have permission to share.
Spam coaches via the Service or send commercial bulk email.
Scrape, copy, or systematically extract data from Spotzy without our written permission.
Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to bypass technical limitations of the Service.
Use Spotzy in any way that violates law or another person's rights.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules without notice.

4. Your Content

Spotzy lets you upload content — profile photos, campus visit photos, journal notes, ratings, and other text you create ("Your Content"). You keep all rights to Your Content. By uploading it, you grant Spotzy a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, and display Your Content solely for the purpose of operating the Service for you. This license ends when you delete the content or your account (except for residual copies in backups, which expire on a normal cycle).

You represent that you have all necessary rights to upload Your Content and that it does not infringe on anyone else's rights or violate any law.

5. Public Profile Sharing

If you choose to enable a public profile (via the "Share Profile" feature), you understand that your name, photo, grade, class year, high school, city/state, positions, GPA (if entered), club team (if entered), and your college list become visible to anyone who has the URL. The URL is unguessable but not authenticated — once shared, the recipient can forward it. You can disable public sharing at any time from your profile settings.

If you are under 18, do not enable public sharing without your parent or guardian's knowledge.

6. Spotzy's Content

Everything in Spotzy that we made — the app, the design, the text, the organized data, the "Spotzy" name and logo — belongs to us. You may use the Service for your personal, non-commercial recruiting purposes. You may not copy, redistribute, resell, or build a competing service from our content.

7. Third-Party Content (Coach Info, School Data)

Spotzy displays information about colleges and head coaches that we collected from publicly available sources, including official athletic department websites and the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard. Roster data is scraped from public team pages.

We do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of any of this information. Coaches change roles, rosters update mid-season, and websites change. Verify anything important directly with the school.

8. Disclaimers

Spotzy is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties of any kind — express, implied, or statutory — about the Service. We don't guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or that the information shown will be accurate.

Spotzy is not a college admissions counselor, recruiting advisor, or athletic agent. We do not place students at colleges. We do not promise any outcome — admission, scholarship, roster spot, or otherwise.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Spotzy and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or use, arising out of your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim (Spotzy is currently free, so for most users that's $100).

10. Termination

You can stop using Spotzy at any time and delete your account by emailing hi@spotzy.app. We can suspend or terminate your account at any time if you violate these Terms, if we suspect fraud or abuse, or if we discontinue the Service. We will give notice when reasonable.

11. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Massachusetts. If you are a consumer in a state with mandatory consumer-protection laws, nothing in these Terms waives those rights.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll notify you in the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the new Terms.
