Terms of Service

1. What My Volley Way is

My Volley Way is a tool for club volleyball organizations and the families they serve. It helps clubs and coaches manage teams, rosters, practice and tournament schedules, attendance, and communication with parents and players. We provide the software; the clubs, coaches, directors, parents, and players who use it provide the content.

We are not a volleyball club, league, or sports organization. We do not run events, supervise children, or guarantee any schedule, roster, or message created by a club or coach. Decisions about teams, playing time, travel, fees, and safety are made by the clubs and families who use the Service — not by us.

2. Who can use the Service; accounts and roles

The Service supports four roles: Club Director, Coach, Parent, and Player.

• You must provide accurate information when you create an account and keep it up to date.
• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity under your account. Tell us right away at contact@myvolleyway.com if you suspect unauthorized use.
• One person, one account. Do not share logins or impersonate anyone.

Children and parents. Players may be minors. To protect children’s privacy:

• A player under 13 may NOT create or hold their own account. A parent or legal guardian must create and control the account, and that parent’s consent to our collection of the child’s information is required (see our Privacy Policy). By claiming a child in the app, you confirm you are that child’s parent or legal guardian and you consent on the child’s behalf.
• A player who is 13 or older may have their own login if invited, subject to these Terms. A parent or guardian may also be linked to the player — for example, by accepting an invitation from the club — and a linked parent can see the player’s schedule, team information, and development, and can update the player’s goal and practice log. A player can join before a parent is linked.
• If you are between 13 and 18, you may use the Service only with your parent’s or guardian’s knowledge and permission.

We may verify role and eligibility, and we may decline, suspend, or remove any account.

3. Acceptable use

You agree NOT to use the Service to:

• post or send anything unlawful, harassing, threatening, abusive, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or harmful to a minor;
• collect, publish, or misuse another person’s personal information, including any child’s information, for any purpose outside the legitimate team activity the Service is meant for;
• impersonate any person, club, or coach, or misrepresent your role;
• upload viruses or malicious code, scrape the Service, probe or breach its security, or try to access data you are not authorized to see;
• use the Service to spam families or send marketing they did not ask for; or
• use the Service in any way that violates any law or any third party’s rights.

Coaches and directors: you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to enter and share the roster and contact information you put into the Service, including information about minors, and for using family contact details only for legitimate team communication.

4. Your content

"Your Content" means anything you submit to the Service — messages, rosters, schedules, player and team details, club logos and branding, and similar material.

• You keep ownership of Your Content. You grant us a limited license to host, store, copy, display, and transmit Your Content solely to operate and provide the Service to you and the families and teams you use it with.
• You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to submit it.
• We do not routinely monitor content, but we may review, remove, or restrict content or accounts that we believe violate these Terms or the law, or that are reported to us. You can report a message or block a sender from inside the app (in the Updates tab), or email contact@myvolleyway.com. We have no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users and will act on reports within a reasonable time.

5. Club and coach communications

The Service lets coaches and directors send messages, schedules, and notices to families. Those communications come from the club or coach, not from us. We send account emails (such as invitations, verification codes, and password links) to make the Service work, and, where a club has them switched on, automatic notices on the club’s behalf — such as a schedule change posted by a tournament platform, or an evening-before email with the next day’s plan. How you can control these is described in our Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the accuracy of any schedule, message, or roster entered by a club or coach, or of event information published by a tournament platform (such as AES or SportWrench) that the Service displays. Times and assignments on those platforms can change; confirm anything time-sensitive with your club.

6. Third-party services

We rely on trusted providers to run the Service, including Supabase (database, login, and file storage), Netlify (website hosting), Resend (email delivery), Sentry (error monitoring), and Anthropic (reading public tournament web pages when a director asks us to). The Service also displays event information from tournament platforms such as AES and SportWrench, and links to video services your club chooses, such as Hudl. If we add paid features, Stripe will process payments. Your use of the Service may be subject to those providers’ terms, and our Privacy Policy explains what data they handle. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers beyond our reasonable control.

7. Payments (if and when offered)

Paid features are not currently offered. If we introduce club or registration billing, payments will be processed by Stripe; we do not store your full card details. Pricing, billing, and refund terms will be presented to you before you pay and will form part of these Terms at that time.

8. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any schedule, roster, message, or other content is accurate or reliable. My Volley Way is a convenience tool. Do not rely on it as your only source for time-sensitive or safety-critical information — confirm important details (event times, locations, travel, and safety matters) directly with your club.

9. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MY VOLLEY WAY AND ITS OPERATOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, MISSED EVENTS, OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some states do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold harmless My Volley Way and its operator from claims and costs arising out of Your Content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or the law — including claims that you did not have the right to share information you entered about another person or a minor.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time from Account → "Delete my account" in the app (on a phone, More → Account), or by contacting us at contact@myvolleyway.com. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if we discontinue the Service. Sections that by their nature should survive (including content licenses already granted, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnification) will survive termination.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, make reasonable efforts to notify you (for example, by email or an in-app notice). Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of NC, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in NC, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
