Ratings are computed estimates derived from publicly available game results and information submitted by users. The Service is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only.

2. No Affiliation with Third Parties

The Service is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with GameChanger Media, Inc., Dick’s Sporting Goods, any youth or amateur baseball league, association, sanctioning body, or tournament organizer. All product names, logos, and brands are the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes only.

Ratings are statistical estimates and may be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any data is accurate, complete, or current. You should not rely on the Service as the sole basis for any decision.

4. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SERVICE, ITS OWNER, OPERATORS, OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF (OR INABILITY TO USE) THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of the above may not apply to you.

5. User Submissions

If you submit information (such as a team name or identifier), you represent that you have the right to do so and that it is accurate and not misleading. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, and display submitted information in connection with operating the Service.

7. Team Pages, Future Accounts & Privacy

Team pages display factual competitive information. Features that allow a team representative to associate themselves with a team may be offered in the future; where offered, contact details will be kept private and disclosed only as described in our Privacy Policy and with the relevant person’s consent.
