Terms of Service

Effective date: 2026-05-21 Last updated: 2026-05-20

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Clearty Technologies, LLC ("ARQ," "we," "us," "our") and govern your use of https://arqstats.com, our APIs, and any related services (the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Arbitration notice. § 14 contains a binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that limit how disputes between you and ARQ can be resolved. Read it carefully.

1. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you are 18+ and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and "you" refers to both you and that organization.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under any applicable law (including US sanctions and export-control law).

2. Your account

  • You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your credentials confidential.
  • You must provide accurate registration information and keep it up to date.
  • You may not share, sell, or transfer your account.
  • You must notify us promptly at security@arqstats.com if you believe your account has been compromised.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, create risk for ARQ or other users, or if required by law (see § 13).

3. The Service

ARQ is a schema-driven game tracker for amateur sports leagues. Depending on your role you may act as a Commissioner (set up leagues, teams, schedules), Captain (manage a single team), Tracker (log game events courtside), Player (consume your own stats and trends), or Fan (view public league pages). Different roles have different permissions.

We may change, add, suspend, or remove features at any time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to give you notice of material changes.

4. Your content

"Your Content" means everything you submit to the Service: league setup data, team and player names, schedules, rosters, game events, sponsor creative, AI prompts, and any other text or files.

4.1 You keep ownership

You retain all rights you have in Your Content. We do not claim ownership of it.

4.2 License to ARQ

You grant ARQ a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, modify (only to the extent technically necessary to operate the Service — e.g. resize an image, aggregate events into a box score), display, and distribute Your Content for the sole purpose of operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the Service. This license ends when you delete the content or close your account, except where we are required to retain limited copies for legal or backup-rotation reasons (see Privacy Policy § 6).

4.3 License to other league members

When you submit Your Content into a league, you also grant the other members of that league the right to view it on the Service consistent with the league's privacy setting (public or private league).

4.4 You are responsible for it

You represent that Your Content does not (a) infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights, (b) defame anyone, or (c) violate any law or these Terms. You will obtain any consents required to upload another person's name, image, or likeness.

4.5 AI prompts

When you use AI features, the text you submit and the relevant game context are sent to our AI sub-processor (Anthropic) to generate a response. Do not submit information you would not want sent off our systems. AI output may be incorrect — treat it as a suggestion, not a source of truth. See AI Disclosure.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  1. Abuse the Service — overload, probe for vulnerabilities outside our responsible-disclosure program, scrape at volume, or interfere with other users.
  2. Misrepresent identity — impersonate any person or league, create accounts to evade enforcement, or submit false league/team/player data.
  3. Submit unlawful content — anything that is illegal, infringing, defamatory, threatening, harassing, hateful, sexually explicit involving minors, or that violates anyone's privacy or publicity rights.
  4. Misuse AI features — try to extract our system prompts, jailbreak the model, generate content forbidden by Anthropic's usage policies, or use the AI to produce harassment of identifiable people.
  5. Reverse engineer — decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract the Service's source code, except to the extent that law expressly prohibits this restriction.
  6. Reuse data commercially without permission — bulk-export player or league data and resell it, build a competing product on the export, or use the data for unsolicited marketing.
  7. Bypass access controls — circumvent row-level security, attempt to read another league's data, or use service-role credentials you obtained improperly.

We may investigate and take action — including content removal, account suspension, or termination — when we believe in good faith that a violation has occurred.

6. Sponsorship and paid placements

If you sponsor a league through ARQ, your placement is governed by the sponsor tier, term, and amount agreed at signup. Until on-platform billing launches, sponsor invoices and payments are handled off-platform; payment terms are set in the separate sponsorship order or invoice we send. Sponsor creative must comply with § 5 and with these placement rules:

  • Every sponsor placement is labeled ("Presented by", "Sponsored by", or equivalent).
  • No content (standings, leaders, results, AI features) is gated behind a sponsorship.
  • We may remove a placement that violates § 5 or otherwise threatens user safety, brand integrity, or legal compliance, at our discretion.

If you are a viewer, sponsor placements are advertising. We make no representation about sponsored products or services.

7. ARQ's intellectual property

The Service — including the software, design, name, logo, and aggregated metrics derived from Your Content — is owned by ARQ and protected by intellectual-property law. These Terms do not grant you any right to our trademarks or to fork the Service. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for its intended purpose during your subscription / account lifetime.

8. Feedback

If you send us feedback, ideas, or suggestions, you grant ARQ a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you. You may submit feedback anonymously if you prefer.

9. Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party providers (see Sub-processors) and may link to third-party content. We are not responsible for those services beyond our contracts with them, and we do not endorse third-party content unless we explicitly say so.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING AI OUTPUT, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ARQ disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy of AI output, and any warranty arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure against every attack, or that AI output will be accurate, complete, or fit for any specific purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow disclaimers of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the disclaimers apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARQ AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR:

  • Indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages;
  • Lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, loss of goodwill, or service interruption;
  • Damages arising from your reliance on AI output;

even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service is capped at the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these limits; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ARQ, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from any third-party claim, demand, or proceeding arising out of (a) Your Content, (b) your use of the Service, (c) your violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any law or third-party right. We may take exclusive control of the defense of any matter for which we are entitled to indemnification; if we do, you will cooperate at our reasonable request. You will not settle any claim that imposes liability or obligations on ARQ without our prior written consent.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time.

We may suspend or terminate your access immediately if (a) you breach these Terms, (b) your use creates a security, legal, or reputational risk for ARQ or others, or (c) we are required to do so by law. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to give you notice except where doing so would defeat the purpose of the action.

The following sections survive termination: § 4.2 (license to retained content as needed for backups and legal compliance), § 5, § 7, § 8, § 10–§ 12, § 14, and any provision that by its nature should survive.

14. Disputes — binding arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully.

14.1 Informal resolution first

Before filing a formal dispute, you and ARQ will attempt to resolve any claim informally by emailing legal@arqstats.com with a written description of the claim and the relief sought. The parties will negotiate in good faith for at least 60 days before initiating arbitration.

14.2 Arbitration

If informal resolution does not work, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Omaha, Nebraska (or, at your election, by video or telephone). The arbitrator's award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

14.3 Class-action waiver

You and ARQ each waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in a class action, class arbitration, or representative action. Claims must be brought on an individual basis. If a court holds this waiver unenforceable, then the entire arbitration agreement in § 14 is null and void as to that claim only, and that claim will proceed in court.

14.4 Exceptions

Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court instead of arbitration, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property or confidential information.

14.5 Opt-out

You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@arqstats.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first agreeing to these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other provision.

15. Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nebraska, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to § 14, any dispute that proceeds in court will be filed in the state or federal courts located in Douglas County, Nebraska, and both parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the Last updated date and, for material changes, give notice through the Service or by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect. If you do not agree to a change, your remedy is to close your account before the change takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Notice, and any signed order forms, are the entire agreement between you and ARQ about the Service.
  • Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them, in whole or in part, in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
  • Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control.
  • Notices. Notices to you may be sent to the email on your account. Notices to us must be sent to legal@arqstats.com.
  • Independent contractors. These Terms do not create any partnership, agency, joint venture, or employment relationship.
  • No third-party beneficiaries. Except where these Terms expressly say otherwise.
