TrueSport provides the TrueSport Services subject to the following conditions.
BY USING ANY OF THE TRUESPORT SERVICES, YOU AGREE TO THESE CONDITIONS. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.
TrueSport reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of these terms of service (these “Terms”), at any time. By continuing to use any of the TrueSport Services following such modifications, you agree to be bound by such modifications to these Terms.

2. USE OF THE TRUESPORT SERVICES. You must be 13 years or older to access or use the TrueSport Services. If you are under 13, then you may not use or access the TrueSport Services under any circumstances. If you are 13 or older and younger than 18, then you may access and use the TrueSport Services only if you have your parents’ or guardians’ prior permission. By accessing or using the TrueSport Services, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are at least 13 and have your parents’ prior permission to do so.

You may access and use the TrueSport Services solely for lawful purposes and only in accordance with these Terms and any other agreement you are required to agree to before being given access to any specific TrueSport Services (any such additional agreements are in addition to these Terms and will govern your use of the TrueSport Services to which those additional agreements apply in the event of a conflict between these Terms and those additional agreements). TrueSport reserves the right at any time and in its sole discretion to modify, suspend, or discontinue any or all of the TrueSport Services with or without notice.
3. YOUR ACCOUNT. To utilize some of the TrueSport Services, you may be asked to create a password-protected account (your “Account”). You agree to keep your Account information and password confidential. You agree to notify TrueSport immediately of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Account. Your Account is solely for your personal and non-commercial use. You may not sublicense, distribute, sell, use for service bureau use, lease, rent, loan or otherwise transfer your Account or the right to access your Account to any third party. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur through your Account. TrueSport will not be responsible for any loss to you caused by your failure to comply with these obligations. You represent and warrant that: (a) all information you provide in your registration is true, accurate, current, and complete; and (b) you will maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. As part of the registration process, you may be assigned or permitted to create a user ID for use in identifying your Account (a “User ID”).

Failure to comply with the foregoing shall constitute a breach of these Terms, which may result in immediate termination of your Account.
4. TERM AND TERMINATION. These Terms will be effective on the date that you first use any of the TrueSport Services and will continue until terminated. TrueSport may terminate these Terms, and your access to any or all of the TrueSport Services, immediately, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice to you. TrueSport may also suspend your use of any or all of the TrueSport Services and direct you to cease using any or all of the TrueSport Services with or without notice to you and with or without cause.

8. CONTENT DESCRIPTIONS. TrueSport attempts to be as accurate as possible. However, TrueSport does not warrant that descriptions of any of the Content or the TrueSport Services is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free.
9. FEES. Fees for purchased Content, subscriptions and other TrueSport Services will be stated at the time of your purchase or sign-up, as applicable. The fees may change at any time.

If your subscription involves a recurring payment of a fee, unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew your subscription, you understand it will automatically continue and you authorize us, or a third party through which you transact (without notice to you, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes, using any payment source we have on record for you.
If any credit card or other payment source we have on file for you is declined for payment of any subscription fees, we may cancel your subscription, unless you provide us with a new payment source. If you provide us with a new payment source, and are successfully charged before your subscription is cancelled, your new subscription period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge.

Our business may change over time and we reserve the right to cancel the TrueSport Services in whole or in part, and to terminate your use of the TrueSport Services at our discretion without notice. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.

If you access a third party site or service through the TrueSport Services, then you do so at your own risk. TrueSport provides links only as a convenience, and the inclusion of the link does not imply that TrueSport endorses or accepts any responsibility for the content on those third party sites or services. TrueSport welcomes links to its site. You may establish a link to truesport.org, provided that the link does not provide or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of your site by TrueSport or any group or individual affiliated with TrueSport.

24. GENERAL TERMS.
- Third Party Beneficiaries. TrueSport’s Affiliates are intended third party beneficiaries under these Terms with the right to enforce the provisions that directly concern the TrueSport Services, Content, or Software to which they have rights.
- You may not assign, delegate or transfer these Terms or any of your rights or duties hereunder, and any attempt to do so will be null and void.
- Integration. These Terms set forth the entire understanding of the parties and supersede any and all prior oral and written agreements or understandings between the parties regarding the subject matter of these Terms. These Terms may not be modified by you except upon written consent of TrueSport. The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of these Terms will not operate or be interpreted as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
- Severability. If, for any reason, any provision of these Terms shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
- No Legal Relationship. These Terms and your use of the TrueSport Services, including the submission of Provided Content, do not, and shall not, be construed as creating any relationship, partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency, or franchisor-franchisee relationship in any way and of any kind between you and TrueSport or any of its Affiliates.
- Jurisdiction and Venue. THESE TERMS will be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles (whether of Colorado or another jurisdiction). You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the jurisdiction and venue in the state courts sitting in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and the federal courts sitting in Denver, Colorado. Any litigation shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be litigated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. A court’s authority to resolve and make awards is limited to claims between you and TrueSport alone. In any dispute, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses from the other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in these Terms is intended to, or does, create a private right of action for any matter for which TrueSport provides an internal or arbitral remedy.
