Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") constitute a binding legal agreement between you and Rivals Sports Inc., a Delaware corporation doing business as Rivals GM ("Rivals Sports," "Rivals GM," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of our website at rivalsgm.com, iOS mobile application, and web portal (collectively, the "Services").

By accessing, downloading, installing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services. You consent to receive communications from us electronically, including notices about your account and these Terms.

1. Agreement Structure

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented at the point of purchase or for specific features, form the entire agreement between you and Rivals Sports regarding the Services. If there is a conflict between these Terms and terms presented at purchase through the Apple App Store, the Apple App Store terms govern with respect to billing and payment processing.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, communicated to registered users by email. Your continued use after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance.

2. Eligibility and Account Types

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. If you are between 13 and 18 years of age, you represent that you have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use the Services. Pro features are intended for adults authorized to act in a professional capacity for a college athletic program.

The Services offer two primary account tiers:

  • Fan (Free): access to core rankings, roster tools, watchlists, and related features at no charge, subject to feature limitations we may modify from time to time
  • Pro (Paid): full platform access for college coaching and athletic staff, including NIL valuations, roster builder, contract portfolio tools, budget controls, and a private Program Workspace with two (2) included staff seats

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet eligibility requirements, that all registration information is accurate and current, and that your use complies with applicable law, university policies, and athletic association rules that apply to you. You use the Services in your individual or professional capacity and not as an agent binding any university, conference, or athletic association unless you have express written authority to do so.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep your account information updated. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

You may not share account credentials with unauthorized users or allow others to access a single-user login outside the authorized staff seat structure for Pro accounts. Notify us immediately at info@rivalssports.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

We reserve the right to suspend or refuse registration, reclaim usernames, or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or create security, legal, or operational risk.

4. School Email Verification (.edu)

Access to Pro features and activation of a Program Workspace requires verification of an eligible school email address (typically a .edu address associated with a college or university athletic program). You represent that you are authorized to use the email address you submit for verification and that you are affiliated with the program for which you request workspace access.

We may revoke Pro access, suspend a Program Workspace, or terminate an account if verification fails, if you misrepresent affiliation or authority, if the email domain is not eligible, or if we reasonably believe the account is being used in violation of these Terms or applicable institutional policies. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, each athletic program is limited to one primary Program Workspace per verified institutional domain.

5. Subscriptions and Billing (Apple App Store)

Pro subscriptions are purchased through the Apple App Store and managed using RevenueCat. Payment processing, billing, and subscription administration are handled by Apple. We do not collect or store your full payment card information.

By subscribing to Rivals GM Pro, you agree that:

  • Subscription fees, billing period (such as monthly or annual), and any free trial or promotional terms are disclosed in the App Store at the time of purchase
  • Your subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least twenty-four (24) hours before the end of the current billing period
  • Your Apple ID account will be charged for renewal within twenty-four (24) hours prior to the end of the current period at the then-current price, unless canceled
  • You may manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID account settings (Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions on your iOS device)
  • Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with Apple's policies; we do not provide refunds except where required by law
  • Price changes, if any, will be communicated through Apple and take effect in accordance with Apple's terms

Subscription status and entitlements may be verified through RevenueCat. Failure to maintain an active subscription may result in loss of access to Pro features, though your account and certain data may remain subject to our Privacy Policy and retention practices.

6. Free Tier (Fan)

Fan accounts are provided free of charge. We may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue free features at any time without liability. Free accounts do not include access to Pro-only features such as full NIL valuations, Program Workspace functionality, or staff seat administration unless you upgrade to a paid subscription.

7. Acceptable Use

You agree not to, and not to permit others to:

  • Use the Services for any unlawful purpose or in violation of applicable laws, regulations, NCAA rules, conference rules, or institutional policies
  • Misrepresent affiliation with any university, athletic program, athlete, or organization
  • Access or attempt to access accounts, workspaces, systems, or data without authorization
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, redistribute, publish, or commercially exploit our data, rankings, analytics, or content without prior written consent
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive source code from the Services except to the limited extent expressly permitted by law
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity, security, or performance of the Services
  • Upload malware, unlawful content, or information you do not have the right to use or disclose
  • Use the Services to harass, abuse, defame, or harm others
  • Circumvent subscription, verification, access controls, or technical protections
  • Share credentials outside authorized staff seat arrangements or resell access to the Services

8. User Content and Program Workspace

"User Content" means information, data, files, contract details, budget inputs, notes, and other materials you submit to the Services, including within a Program Workspace. You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant Rivals Sports a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, process, and use User Content solely as necessary to provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Services and as described in our Privacy Policy.

You represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to submit User Content, that User Content is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and that its submission and our processing as permitted by these Terms do not violate law or third-party rights. You are solely responsible for User Content and for ensuring that workspace data is shared only with appropriate authorized personnel.

We do not routinely monitor User Content but may remove or restrict access to content that violates these Terms or creates legal or security risk. Upon account termination, User Content may be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy and retention practices.

9. Intellectual Property

The Services, including all software, text, graphics, logos, rankings, PVS scores, NIL valuations, analytics, designs, and other content provided by Rivals Sports (excluding User Content), are owned by Rivals Sports Inc. or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Rivals GM and related marks are proprietary to Rivals Sports Inc.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the Services for personal or authorized professional use. You may not reproduce, distribute, publicly display, create derivative works from, or commercially exploit any part of the Services except as expressly permitted.

If you provide feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the Services, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback without restriction or compensation.

10. Confidentiality

We design Program Workspaces to be accessible only to the subscribing account holder and authorized staff seat holders assigned to that workspace. We will not disclose Program Workspace User Content to other customers except as necessary to provide the Services, comply with law, enforce these Terms, or protect security.

You agree to treat non-public information within your Program Workspace as confidential to your program and to use reasonable care to prevent unauthorized disclosure. We may access workspace data as necessary for support, security, backup, and legal compliance, subject to our Privacy Policy.

11. Analytics and Professional Disclaimers

Player rankings, PVS scores, NIL valuations, statistics, and other analytics provided through the Services are for informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we do not warrant that any data is complete, current, or error-free.

The Services do not provide legal, tax, financial, NCAA compliance, recruiting, or contractual advice. NIL laws and institutional policies vary by jurisdiction and institution. You are solely responsible for verifying information and obtaining appropriate professional advice before making recruiting, roster, NIL, budgetary, or compliance decisions. We are not responsible for decisions you make based on the Services.

12. Third-Party Services

The Services integrate with or rely on third-party services, including Apple, Firebase, RevenueCat, Google Analytics, and Netlify. Your use of those services may be subject to separate terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party services and disclaim liability arising from their acts or omissions.

13. Apple App Store Terms

If you download or use the iOS application, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • These Terms are between you and Rivals Sports Inc., not Apple
  • Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app
  • Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, or expenses relating to the app, including consumer protection, regulatory, or intellectual property claims
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary
  • Your use of the app must comply with applicable Apple Media Services Terms and App Store terms

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DATA OR ANALYTICS WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RIVALS SPORTS INC., ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY PER USER AND DO NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

16. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rivals Sports Inc. and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms; (d) your violation of law or third-party rights; or (e) your misrepresentation of authority, affiliation, or eligibility.

17. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

Except for qualifying small claims court actions or claims seeking injunctive relief for intellectual property violations, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services ("Dispute") shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this section.

The arbitration shall take place in Travis County, Texas, or another location mutually agreed by the parties, and shall be conducted in English. The arbitrator may award relief available in court on an individual basis. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver: You and Rivals Sports agree that each may bring claims against the other only in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, or private attorney general proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative proceeding.

Opt-out: You may opt out of arbitration within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by emailing info@rivalssports.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out," your name, and the email associated with your account. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court as described in Section 18.

If any portion of this arbitration section is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles that would require application of another jurisdiction's laws. If the arbitration agreement in Section 17 does not apply to a Dispute, you agree that exclusive jurisdiction and venue for such Dispute shall lie in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

19. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms, non-payment of subscription fees, failed verification, security risk, or discontinuation of the Services.

Upon termination, your license to use the Services ends immediately. Termination of your account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription; you must cancel through your Apple ID settings. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and governing law.

20. General Provisions

  • Entire agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement regarding the Services
  • Severability: If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force
  • Waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of future enforcement
  • Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
  • Force majeure: We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control
  • Headings: Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation
  • Third-party beneficiaries: Except for Apple as stated in Section 13, these Terms do not confer rights on any third party
