Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Drop the Puck ("the Service"), operated by Drop the Puck ("we", "us", or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Drop the Puck is a platform that helps organizers manage drop-in hockey games, including scheduling, roster management, payments, and player communication.

3. Consent to Receive Text Messages

By creating an account and providing your phone number, you expressly consent to receive text messages (SMS) from Drop the Puck. These messages may include, but are not limited to:

• Game reminders and schedule updates
• Roster confirmations and waitlist notifications
• Payment confirmations and receipts
• Roster invitations from organizers
• Account verification and security messages

Message frequency varies based on game activity. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. You may opt out of non-essential messages at any time by updating your notification preferences in your account settings, but certain transactional messages (such as payment confirmations) may still be sent as required for the operation of the Service.

4. User Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information when creating your account and to keep this information up to date.

5. Payments and Refunds

Payments for drop-in sessions are processed through Stripe. By making a payment, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. Your payment serves as your RSVP confirmation. Refund policies are set by individual organizers and are subject to the cancellation deadlines configured for each drop-in session.

6. User Conduct

You agree not to misuse the Service, including but not limited to: attempting to gain unauthorized access, interfering with other users' use of the Service, or using the Service for any unlawful purpose.

7. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We are not liable for any injuries, damages, or losses arising from participation in hockey games organized through the platform. Use of the Service and participation in any activities is at your own risk.

8. Privacy

Your phone number and personal information are used solely for the operation of the Service and will not be sold to third parties. We may share limited information with service providers (such as Stripe for payments and Twilio for SMS delivery) as necessary to operate the platform.

9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. We will notify users of material changes via the Service or by other reasonable means.
