Terms of Service

Effective date: June 18, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the websites, applications, hardware, software, and services (collectively, the "Services") provided by CourtSpark Media Inc. ("CourtSpark," "we," "us," or "our"), an Ohio corporation. By using the Services you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing the Services, creating an account, signing a CourtSpark proposal, beta application, sponsorship agreement, investor agreement, or otherwise interacting with CourtSpark in a commercial capacity, you represent that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you are accepting on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that organization.

You must be at least 18 years old to enter into these Terms. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly contract with minors.

2. Alpha/Beta nature & no guarantees

CourtSpark is currently in an alpha and limited-beta testing phase. The Services, hardware, software, models, dashboards, and documentation are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis and may contain bugs, errors, downtime, or incomplete features. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • All revenue projections, ROI estimates, pricing tables, audience estimates, demographic inferences, partnership references, testimonials, and performance metrics on the CourtSpark website or in any CourtSpark materials are illustrative only. They are not guarantees of future results and do not constitute an offer, promise, warranty, or contractual commitment.
  • Actual results will vary by venue, sport, region, foot traffic, advertiser demand, hardware uptime, regulatory environment, and many factors outside of CourtSpark's control.
  • Features may be added, modified, throttled, or removed at any time without notice during the alpha/beta period.
  • Beta participation may be subject to additional NDA, eligibility, location, sport and operating-agreement requirements. Acceptance into the beta program is at CourtSpark's sole discretion and may be revoked.

Where any conflict exists between marketing or website copy and a fully-executed operating, sponsorship, or partnership agreement, the executed agreement controls.

3. Services, revenue share & operating agreement

CourtSpark provides smart-court technology including camera and edge-AI hardware, in-court displays, content tools, analytics dashboards, advertising placement, and related software (the "Platform"). Specific commercial terms — including installation responsibilities, hardware ownership, exclusivity, revenue-share splits, minimum guarantees (if any), payout schedules, reporting cadence, brand standards, and termination rights — are defined in a separate written Operating Agreement (or equivalent Sponsorship / Partnership / Investor Agreement) executed between CourtSpark and the counterparty.

  • No revenue, sponsorship, install, or affiliate relationship is binding until both parties have signed the applicable written agreement.
  • Revenue-share percentages, payment terms, and reporting are governed exclusively by that signed agreement and supersede any figure displayed on the website, calculator, deck, or email.
  • All Platform use is subject to eligibility, applicable laws, and CourtSpark's acceptable-use rules (no unlawful, infringing, defamatory, hateful, sexually explicit, or unsafe content; no interference with CourtSpark hardware, models, or network).

4. Intellectual property

CourtSpark and its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including all software, models, training data, dashboards, designs, trademarks, logos, and documentation. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of CourtSpark intellectual property to you. You receive only a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Platform during the term of the applicable agreement and solely for its stated purpose.

CourtSpark Technology is the subject of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 64/067,778, filed May 17, 2026. A provisional application establishes a priority date only; no patent claims have been examined or issued at this time. Statements regarding "patented," "patent-protected," or similar status refer to this pending provisional and should be read accordingly.

You may not (a) copy, modify, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the Platform; (b) scrape, harvest, or extract our analytics, inferences, or model outputs; (c) remove or alter any proprietary notices; or (d) use the Platform or any CourtSpark marks except as expressly permitted in a signed agreement.

5. Disclaimers & limitation of liability

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL COURTSPARK, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. COURTSPARK'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO COURTSPARK FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations on liability, so some of the above may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.

6. Governing law & arbitration

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that cannot be resolved through good-faith negotiation within sixty (60) days will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its then-current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, by a single arbitrator, conducted in Columbus, Ohio (or via video conference at the arbitrator's discretion). Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and CourtSpark each agree that any proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court or seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property rights.

7. Termination & indemnity

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, the applicable operating agreement, or applicable law, or if continued provision could expose CourtSpark to legal, regulatory, security, or reputational risk. Sections that by their nature should survive (including IP, disclaimers, limitations of liability, governing law, arbitration, and indemnity) will survive termination.

Indemnification. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CourtSpark and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any third-party claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from (a) your use of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable agreement; (c) your violation of any law or third-party right (including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights); or (d) any content or data you submit, post, or transmit through the Services.

8. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Effective date" above reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be communicated via the Services or by email where reasonably practicable. Your continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
