Version 1.0 · effective 3 September 2026

Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and FoosLabs LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("FoosLabs", "we", "us"). They govern your use of the FoosLabs Platform at app.fooslabs.com and everything you do with your account.

Please read them. You accept them when you tick the box at registration, and by doing that you are making a contract with us.

1. Who these Terms apply to

They apply to everyone who holds an account, whatever you use it for. Most of this document is about being a player. Section 11 adds obligations that apply once you are given a role that lets you run competitions or act on other people's results — a tournament director, a club organizer, or a league commissioner. Those obligations are additional; the rest of these Terms still apply to you.

2. Who may hold an account

You must be 18 or older. By registering you are telling us that you are, and we rely on that. We do not verify anyone's age and we do not ask for your date of birth. If we learn that an account holder is under 18, we will close the account.

You may hold one account. Register it yourself, in your own name, with contact details that reach you. Do not register on somebody else's behalf, and do not let anyone else use your account. A tournament director cannot create an account for you, and will not do so — this is deliberate, because the account is where your agreement to these Terms is recorded, and that record has to be yours.

3. Your account and your email address

Your email address is currently the only way to prove the account is yours, and the only way to get back into it. We ask you to confirm the address before the account works. Until you follow the link we send you, the account exists but does not function.

That makes the address you give us important in a way it might not be elsewhere:

• A typo means an account nobody can recover, including us.
• Somebody else's address means a record of agreement standing in their name.

Keep the address current and keep access to it. Tell us at support@fooslabs.com if you think somebody else has got into your account.

We may add stronger sign-in methods later. When we do, we will tell you.

4. What FoosLabs does, and what it does not do

We make the software. We do not run the competitions.

Clubs, promoters and leagues — each of them an organization on the platform — use FoosLabs to run their own events. The organization running an event decides who may enter, what entry costs, where and when it happens, what the rules of play are, how the tables are assigned, and what any prize or payout is. Your arrangement to take part in an event is with that organization. It is not with us.

In particular:

• We do not handle entry fees or payouts. No money passes through the platform. Whatever you pay to enter an event, you pay to the organization, on whatever terms it sets.
• We do not referee. Results are entered by the people at the table and adjudicated by the event's director.
• We are not responsible for what happens at a venue. Injury, damage, conduct, admission, alcohol, parking — those are between you, the organization and the venue.
• We do not vouch for any organization or any of its people. We do not run background checks and we do not supervise anyone's event.

An event may require you to accept its own agreements — a liability waiver, for instance, or consent to being recorded — before you can enter it. Those are that event's, not ours, and accepting them is the condition of entering that event and nothing more. Declining leaves your account exactly as it was, and every other event still open to you.

5. Registering for an event

Once your account works, you can follow an event's registration link and sign up. Signing up creates your entry in that event.

Signing up is not a payment, and being signed up is not a guarantee of a place — the organization decides who plays. If you cannot make it, tell the organization; the platform is not how you get a refund, because we never took the money.

6. Results, corrections and disputes

Results are reported by the players in the match, as the two of you agree the match stood. A tournament director may report on your behalf.

Three things follow, and they are worth knowing before you need them:

1. A submitted result is never overwritten. If a result is wrong, the director records a correction. The original stays, and who changed it, when, and why are recorded with it. Nothing on this platform quietly becomes a different number.
2. If you think a result involving you is wrong, you can raise a dispute against that match. It flags to the director. The result stands until the director resolves it.
3. Some calls are the director's alone — declaring that a side never turned up, or recording that two sides agreed to share a payout rather than play. Neither you nor another player can make those.

We do not adjudicate results, corrections or disputes. The director does. If you disagree with a director's decision, that is a matter between you and the organization.

7. What you may not do

Do not:

• give false information about yourself, or register as someone you are not;
• use somebody else's account, or let anyone use yours;
• report results you know to be wrong, or raise disputes you know to be baseless;
• try to reach data that is not yours — other people's contact details above all — by any means, including probing the platform for ways to do it;
• interfere with the platform's operation, or with anyone else's use of it;
• scrape, bulk-download or resell what is on the platform;
• use the platform to harass anyone, or to break the law.

8. What other people can see about you

The short version: your name, your state, and a display name if you enter one are public within the platform. Nothing else about you is.

Your name and the state you gave are shown beside your entries, your results and the standings, to other people using the platform, as is a display name if you choose to enter one — though it is not displayed anywhere in the current release. State is there so that two players with the same name can be told apart at a large event, and you are told this at the moment we ask for it.

Your email address and your phone number are not shown to other participants. Your gender is used for one thing only — working out whether you are eligible for an event that is restricted by gender — and is not shown to anyone, including you.

What we collect, why, who we share it with and what you can ask us to do about it are set out in the Privacy Policy, which is part of your agreement with us.

9. Things you write

Some of what you enter is your own words — a display name, the reason you give when you raise a dispute. Keep it civil and keep it lawful. You keep whatever rights you have in what you write; you give us permission to store it, show it to the people who need to see it, and keep it as part of the record of the event. We may remove anything that breaks these Terms.

10. Availability and change

The platform is early in its life and it will change. Features will be added, altered and removed. We do not promise it will be available at any particular moment, and we may take it down for maintenance without warning.

We do not promise that everything on the platform is correct. Draws, standings, brackets and statistics are produced from what people enter. If a result matters to you, check it.

11. Additional terms for directors, organizers and commissioners

If you are given a role that lets you run competitions or act on other people's results, you take on more than a player does. The following apply to you in that capacity.

• The access is granted, and it can be withdrawn. Every role you hold is an explicit grant. We or the organization that granted it may end it.
• Use it for the event it was given for. The participant information the role puts in front of you — who has entered, who has checked in — is there so that you can run the night. Do not use it for anything else, do not export it, and do not pass it on.
• Corrections are for correcting. When you change a result you give a reason, and the reason has to be the real one. The record you are creating is the only account of what happened that will exist in five years.
• Running the event is yours. You are responsible for your event complying with the law, for the safety of the people at it, for what you charge and what you pay out, and for any agreements you require your entrants to accept. We provide the software.
• You will not present yourself as us. You run your event on FoosLabs; you do not speak for FoosLabs.

12. Changes to these Terms

We keep a record of every version of these Terms — including the exact words that were shown to you when you accepted, so that what you agreed to can never be reconstructed from a label alone.

When we change them:

• We publish the new version before it takes effect — normally 30 days before.
• We tell you. Everyone holding an acceptance of an older version is told the document changed. That notice is not a marketing message and you cannot opt out of it; it is the only way you learn that the agreement you are under has moved.
• For most changes, we do not ask you to accept again. Your acceptance of the version you accepted stands, and stays on record as what you agreed to.
• If we change something you are actually agreeing to, we will ask you to accept the new version before you carry on using the platform.

If you do not want to be bound by a new version, stop using the platform and ask us to close your account.

13. Ending your account

You may ask us to close your account at any time by writing to support@fooslabs.com. Some records — results, corrections and the record of what you accepted — are part of the history of competitions other people took part in, and we keep them. The Privacy Policy says which those are, what happens to the rest, and how to make a request about your information.

We may suspend or end your access if you break these Terms, if we are required to, or if we stop operating the platform. Where it is reasonable to warn you first, we will.

14. No warranties

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement, and any warranty that the platform will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or that anything on it is accurate.

Some states do not allow some of these exclusions, in which case they do not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, lost prize money or lost data, however caused.
• Our total liability to you for everything arising out of these Terms or your use of the platform is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or one hundred US dollars (US$100). We do not currently charge you anything, so in practice that figure is one hundred dollars.
• We are not liable for anything an organization, a director, another player or a venue does or fails to do.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law — including liability for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence.

These limits are a basic part of the deal between us: without them, we could not offer the platform to you for nothing.

16. Your responsibility to us

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you did — breaking these Terms, breaking the law, or how you ran an event — you will cover our reasonable costs of dealing with it, including legal fees. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and you may take over its defense with counsel we reasonably approve.

17. Legal claims between you and us

This section is about legal claims. It has nothing to do with disputing a match result, which is section 6.

Talk to us first. If you have a legal claim against us, send it in writing to legal@fooslabs.com and describe it and what you want. We will do the same if we have one against you. Neither of us may start proceedings until 30 days after that notice. Most things get sorted out in that window, at a cost to everyone of nothing.

If it is not sorted out: these Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any claim must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Dallas County, Texas. You and we each consent to those courts. Either of us may still bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies.

18. Everything else

• The whole agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us about the platform, and replace anything said before.
• If part of it fails. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stands and that provision is narrowed to the least extent needed to make it enforceable.
• Not enforcing something is not giving it up. If we do not enforce a provision, we keep the right to enforce it later.
• Transfers. You may not transfer your account or these Terms to anyone. We may transfer them to a successor of our business, on notice to you.
• Notices. We give notices by email to the address on your account, or in the platform. You agree to receive notices, agreements and other records from us electronically.
• No third-party beneficiaries. Nobody other than you and us has rights under these Terms.
