The short version: PickleCrew helps you keep score and organize your pickleball crew. Play safely, be decent to people, only post what you have the right to post, and remember that we don't organize, supervise or verify any game, crew or player.
1. Who this agreement is with
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the PickleCrew app and its web pages (“PickleCrew”, “the App”), published by Kaspar Works, LLC (“we”, “us”), 131 Continental Dr, Suite 305, Newark, DE 19713, USA. By downloading or using the App you agree to these Terms and to Apple's Standard End User License Agreement (“Apple EULA”). Where they differ, these Terms apply to the online features below; Apple's EULA still governs your licence to the App and Apple's own role. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
2. What PickleCrew does
PickleCrew records games, keeps crew points and standings, runs Crew Nights and schedules sessions. All of that works on your iPhone without an account. Optional online features — Shared Scoring, browser RSVP and board links, player claims, public profiles, rankings, Discover and clubs — use our server and Sign in with Apple. Crew points and rankings are a friendly record of games entered by people, not an official rating, ranking or skill level of any sports body.
3. Play at your own risk
Pickleball is a physical activity that carries a risk of injury. You are responsible for your own fitness, equipment, conduct and safety, and for the courts and places where you play. PickleCrew does not organize, host, supervise or insure any game, session, Crew Night or meetup, even when it is scheduled, listed or announced in the App. Organizers, clubs and players are independent of us. Check with a doctor before starting a new physical activity if you have any doubt.
4. Meeting people you don't know
Public profiles and Discover listings can be seen by people you don't know. We do not verify the identity, age, skill or background of any player, organizer, crew or club. Use common sense: meet at public courts, bring a friend if you like, and report anything that doesn't feel right. If anyone is in danger, contact local emergency services first. We are not responsible for the conduct of any user, on or off the App.
5. Age
You must be at least 13 to sign in to PickleCrew's online features (or older if your country requires it) and at least 18 to turn on a public profile. An organizer may add a child to a crew by name; the organizer must be the child's parent or guardian or have their permission, and should consider a nickname. Children's names are never shown in public rankings or Discover.
6. Your content
“Your content” means what you or your crew put into the App: crew and club names, player names, scores, sessions, descriptions, display names and reports. You keep ownership of your content. So that the features you turn on can work, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, copy, process and display your content only to provide PickleCrew — for example to sync it to co-organizers, show a board to people with its link, or show your public profile. The licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies we must keep as described in the Privacy Policy.
You are responsible for your content. Only enter names and information you have the right to share. When you type other people's names into a shared crew, tell them, and remove anyone who asks.
7. Community rules
Before your name or crew becomes public you agree to our community rules, which are part of these Terms:
- Be respectful. No harassment, threats, hate, bullying or discrimination.
- Keep it clean. No sexual or violent content, and no spam, ads or scams.
- Be yourself. Don't impersonate anyone, claim a player who isn't you, or create profiles for someone else.
- Keep results honest. Don't enter fake games, inflate results, or manipulate rankings.
- Respect the service. Don't break, overload, scrape or reverse-engineer it, or use it for anything unlawful.
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We review reports within 24 hours and may remove content, hide profiles, crews or clubs, remove games from rankings, or suspend or end access to the online features, with or without notice. You can report or block any public profile or crew in the App, or email us.
8. Rankings, Discover and clubs
Rankings count only games that meet the rules described in the App and may change when games are corrected, deleted or reviewed. We may exclude games or players we believe are inaccurate or abusive. Discover shows only what organizers chose to list. Clubs are run by their owners and admins, who decide who joins and what roles people have; we are not a party to any arrangement between a club and its members.
9. Subscriptions and purchases
PickleCrew Pro is sold through the App Store as a monthly or yearly auto-renewing subscription; earlier yearly and lifetime purchases keep Pro. Price, billing period and any free trial are shown before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, in your Apple Account settings (Settings → your name → Subscriptions). Unused time in a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. If Pro ends, nothing you created is deleted; Pro-only additions are paused. An Organization plan, where offered, covers one club workspace and its limits, and gives Pro to the subscriber only — not to every club member.
10. Your account and the online features
You sign in with Apple. Keep your Apple Account secure; you are responsible for activity under it. You can delete your account any time in Settings → Shared Scoring → Delete Account; what that removes is described in the Privacy Policy. Crews kept only on your iPhone are not affected and stay yours. Back up anything irreplaceable — the App has a backup feature for exactly this.
11. Availability and changes
We may change, suspend or stop any online feature, including for maintenance, safety or legal reasons. If we stop the online features for good, we will give reasonable notice where we can, and the on-device features will keep working.
12. Disclaimer of warranties
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the App is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App, its scores, standings or rankings will be uninterrupted, error-free or accurate.
13. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Kaspar Works, LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, for any personal injury or property damage arising from playing or meeting other people, or for any loss of data, arising from your use of or inability to use the App. Our total liability for any claim relating to the App will not exceed the greater of US $50 or the amount you paid for PickleCrew in the twelve months before the claim. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you; nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
14. Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend and indemnify Kaspar Works, LLC against claims arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your conduct toward other people, including at games and meetups you arrange.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. When we make material changes we will update the date above, post the new version here and, where the change affects public features, ask you to agree again in the App. Continued use after the changes take effect means you accept them.
16. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except where the Apple EULA or your local consumer-protection law provides otherwise.
