These terms apply when you use Pickle Along, the website at picklealong.com and the app at app.picklealong.com ("Pickle Along", "we", "us"). By using Pickle Along, you agree to them. Our privacy policy explains how we handle information.
1. The service
Pickle Along helps people run pickleball round robins: choosing who plays, recording scores and showing standings. It's currently a free pilot, available to hosts by invitation. We may add, change or remove features, and we may introduce paid features in future. If we do, we'll tell you first and nothing you already use will start costing money without your agreement.
2. Accounts
- Hosts sign in with a Google account. You're responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your Google account secure.
- We decide who can host sessions during the pilot, and we can withdraw that access.
- Players and guests can follow a session from its share link without an account.
3. Running sessions
- As a host, you're responsible for what you enter, including other people's names. Only add people who are taking part, and don't enter anything about them beyond the name they go by.
- Anyone with a session's share link can see it and enter scores. Share it only with your group, and stop sharing it if it gets passed around.
- You keep ownership of what you enter. You give us permission to store, process and display it as needed to run Pickle Along for you and the people you share it with.
4. Acceptable use
Please don't:
- use Pickle Along for anything illegal, or to harass, embarrass or harm anyone (including through the names you enter);
- try to get into sessions, accounts or data that aren't yours;
- overload, disrupt or probe the service for weaknesses, or use automated tools to scrape it;
- copy or resell the service, or use it to build a competing one.
We may remove content or suspend access if these terms are broken.
5. Games and scheduling
Pickle Along aims to make games fair, but it can't guarantee every rotation or result, and scores are only as accurate as what's entered. Pickleball is a physical activity: you play at your own risk, and Pickle Along isn't responsible for courts, equipment, injuries, or disputes between players.
6. No warranty
Pickle Along is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don't promise it will always be available, error-free or that data will never be lost, so export anything you need to keep (sessions can be exported as a spreadsheet or PDF).
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Pickle Along won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim about the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the past 12 months and US $50.
8. Ending things
You can stop using Pickle Along at any time and ask us to delete your account and sessions by emailing hello@picklealong.com. We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these terms, and if we ever shut the service down, we'll give hosts reasonable notice to export their sessions first.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as Pickle Along changes. We'll post the new version here with a new date, and tell signed-in hosts about significant changes. If you keep using Pickle Along after a change, the new terms apply.
10. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, USA. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, unless the law where you live says otherwise.
