Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Matthew Cox, doing business as Subbit ("Subbit," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the Subbit mobile application, its Apple Watch companion, widgets, website, and related cloud services (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

01What Subbit Does

Subbit is a sideline coaching tool for youth and amateur soccer teams. It helps a coach track playing time, plan and run substitutions, and manage a roster during a live match, with a companion view on Apple Watch. Optional cloud features let a coach back up a roster, collaborate with assistant coaches, and share a live match view.

Subbit is a coaching aid, not an officiating, eligibility, or scoring system of record. You are responsible for match decisions, rule compliance, playing-time requirements, and player safety. The app assists your judgment; it does not replace it.

02Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. If you use Subbit on behalf of a club, league, school, or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to do so and to agree to these Terms on its behalf, and "you" includes that organization.

Creating an account is optional and is required only for roster backup and assistant-coach features. If you create an account, you agree to provide accurate information, keep your credentials confidential, notify us promptly of any unauthorized use, and accept responsibility for activity under your account. You may hold one account per person. You may delete your account at any time as described in the Privacy Policy.

03Your Team Content

Roster entries, player names, ratings, photos, formations, rotations, match records, and other material you create or upload in Subbit ("Team Content") remain yours. We claim no ownership of it.

By default, Team Content is stored only on your device (and, where you enable it, your own paired Apple Watch). If you turn on a cloud feature, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, and display your Team Content solely as needed to provide that feature to you and to the coaches and viewers you authorize, and for no other purpose. This license ends when the content is deleted from our systems, subject to the retention practices in the Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have the right to use all Team Content you enter or upload, (b) you have obtained every permission, authorization, and consent that your club, league, school, or applicable law requires to collect, store, back up, and share the personal information it contains, including the names and photos of minors, and including parent or guardian consent where required, and (c) your use of the Service does not violate anyone's privacy, publicity, intellectual property, or other rights. You are solely responsible for deciding whether to turn on any cloud feature for a youth roster.

04Cloud Features: Sharing, Codes, and Other Coaches

Assistant coaches. When you invite an assistant coach, that person (and anyone they invite) can view the shared team record described in the Privacy Policy. Invite codes are not tied to a specific person: anyone holding a code can join. You are responsible for whom you give codes to and for removing coaches who should no longer have access. Assistant coaches are independent users bound by these Terms; we are not responsible for their conduct or their use of Team Content.

Live match sharing. Live share codes are intentionally unauthenticated so they can be shared verbally on a sideline. Anyone who has an active code can view the live match data, including players' first names, positions, and photos, until you stop sharing. You accept this trade-off when you start a share, and you agree to stop sharing when it is no longer needed. We are not liable for any person's access to, or use of, live match data obtained through a code that you or anyone else disclosed.

Availability. Cloud features depend on your internet connection, Apple's and Google's services, and other factors outside our control. Live timers, sync, and notifications may be delayed or interrupted. Keep your own records of anything that matters to your league.

05Premium Subscriptions and Purchases

Subbit offers an optional "Premium" auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or annually, purchased through Apple's in-app purchase system. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and may vary by region. Where offered, an introductory free trial converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID account settings; deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies; we cannot issue refunds directly. We may change subscription prices or features with notice as required by Apple and applicable law; changes take effect at your next renewal, and you may cancel before then.

Premium features that rely on cloud services are subject to Section 4. Premium status is tied to your Apple ID and may be restored on other devices signed into the same Apple ID using "Restore Purchases."

06Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any purpose that is unlawful, or that violates the rights of a player, parent, coach, club, league, or anyone else;
• Enter, back up, or share personal information about any person, including a minor, without the authority and consent required by law or by your organization;
• Use an invite code or live share code you were not authorized to receive, or attempt to access another team's data;
• Harass, threaten, or harm anyone, or upload content that is defamatory, obscene, or infringing;
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app, except where applicable law permits it;
• Interfere with, disrupt, circumvent the security of, or place unreasonable load on the Service or the systems behind it, or use automated means to access it;
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service, or remove any proprietary notices.

We may suspend or terminate access for violations, and may remove content that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law.

07Intellectual Property and Feedback

The Service, including the Subbit name, logo, design, software, and all content other than your Team Content, is owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the app on Apple devices you own or control, for coaching your own team(s). All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

If you send us suggestions or feedback, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right to use it without obligation to you.

08Third-Party Services

The Service relies on services operated by third parties, including Apple (App Store, Sign in with Apple, push notifications, in-app purchases) and Google (Firebase cloud services). Your use of those services is subject to their terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or conduct. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience only.

09Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, that timers, sub reminders, playing-time records, sync, or notifications will be accurate or delivered, or that data stored in the Service will not be lost. For example, a live timer or reminder can be affected by device performance, connectivity between your phone and watch, or closing the app mid-match. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

10Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SUBBIT AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, CONTRACTORS, AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE, PENALTY, FORFEIT, OR OUTCOME RELATED TO A MATCH, ROSTER DECISION, ELIGIBILITY, OR PLAYING-TIME RECORD, OR ANY ACCESS TO OR USE OF TEAM CONTENT BY ANOTHER COACH OR BY ANYONE HOLDING A SHARE OR INVITE CODE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50). These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, including for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or, where applicable, death or personal injury caused by negligence.

11Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Subbit and its owners, officers, contractors, and suppliers from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your Team Content, including any claim that you lacked the authority or consent to collect, store, or share it; (b) your use of the cloud features, including your disclosure of invite or live share codes; (c) your violation of these Terms or of any law; or (d) your violation of any third party's rights, including a player's, parent's, or guardian's privacy or publicity rights.

12Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting the app and, if you have one, deleting your account. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service, or discontinue the Service or any feature, at any time, with or without notice, including if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms or if we retire a version no longer supported by current iOS or watchOS. On termination, your license ends, but Sections 3 (as to the license for content not yet deleted), 7, and 9 through 16 survive. Deletion of cloud data after termination is governed by the Privacy Policy.

13Apple App Store Terms

Because you obtained Subbit through Apple's App Store, the following additional terms apply, and Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement applies to the extent these Terms are silent. (a) These Terms are between you and Subbit only, not Apple, and Subbit (not Apple) is solely responsible for the app and its content. (b) Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you via Family Sharing or volume purchasing. (c) Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app. (d) To the extent any warranty is not disclaimed, if the app fails to conform to it you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are Subbit's sole responsibility. (e) Subbit, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and consumer-protection or similar claims. (f) In the event of a third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights, Subbit, not Apple, is solely responsible for its investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge. (g) You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. (h) You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app. (i) Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

14Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri and the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property or confidential information. If you are a consumer residing in the EEA or UK, nothing in this section deprives you of the protection of mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence or of the right to bring proceedings there. Before filing a claim, you agree to first contact us and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

15Changes to the Service or These Terms

We may update the Service and these Terms as Subbit evolves. If we make a material change to these Terms, we will update the effective date above and, where the change affects your rights significantly, notify you in the app or by email at least 14 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and, if applicable, cancel your subscription before the change takes effect.

16General

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Subbit regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Notices to you may be given in the app or to the email on your account. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, employment, or agency relationship.
