Terms of Service

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Those who access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as HIPAA or FISMA. If your interactions would be subject to such laws, you may not use the Services.

Our intellectual property

We are the owner or licensee of all intellectual property rights in our Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, website designs, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics (the "Content"), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the "Marks").

Our Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws and treaties in the United States and around the world. They are provided "AS IS" for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access the Services and to download or print a copy of any portion of the Content to which you have properly gained access, solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

Except as set out in this section, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our express prior written permission.

For permission requests, contact trose@louisrose.org.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you in and to the Services, Content, and Marks. Any breach of these Intellectual Property Rights constitutes a material breach of our Legal Terms and your right to use our Services will terminate immediately.

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (1) all registration information you submit is true, accurate, current, and complete; (2) you will maintain the accuracy of that information; (3) you have the legal capacity to agree to and comply with these Legal Terms; (4) you are at least 13 years of age; (5) if you are under 18, you have obtained the permission of a parent or legal guardian; (6) you will not access the Services through automated or non-human means; (7) you will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; and (8) your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, we have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any current or future use of the Services.

You are required to register to use most features of the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and are responsible for all use of your account and password. We reserve the right to remove, reclaim, or change any username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that it is inappropriate or objectionable.

Impersonating another athlete, coach, or person — or creating a profile containing false or misleading recruiting information — is grounds for immediate termination.

We accept the following forms of payment:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Discover
• American Express
• Apple App Store (in-app purchase)
• Stripe

Athlete subscriptions purchased in the iOS app are processed by Apple through the App Store. Program plans for high school athletic programs are purchased on the web and processed by Stripe.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases. You further agree to promptly update account and payment information so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. Sales tax will be added where required. We may change prices at any time. All payments are in US dollars.

You authorize us to charge your chosen payment provider for all amounts due. We reserve the right to correct any pricing errors, even if we have already requested or received payment, and to refuse or cancel any order.

Billing and renewal

Your subscription continues and renews automatically unless canceled. You consent to recurring charges to your payment method without requiring your prior approval for each charge, until you cancel. Athlete subscriptions are billed monthly. Program plans are billed annually.

Cancellation

Subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store must be canceled through your Apple ID subscription settings; we cannot cancel them on your behalf. Program plans purchased on the web can be canceled through your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid term.

All purchases are non-refundable. If you have questions or are unsatisfied, email trose@louisrose.org.

What happens when a plan ends

When a program plan lapses or is canceled, access to paid features closes. Your data is not deleted. Rosters, staff, and athlete profiles persist. If the plan is renewed, access is restored.

Fee changes

We may change subscription fees from time to time and will communicate any price change in accordance with applicable law.

This section describes how athlete information moves through GRID. Read it carefully.

Rosters. An athlete may be a member of one high school program's roster at a time. A coach may request to add an athlete to their roster, and an athlete may request to join a coach's roster. In both cases the athlete must approve before roster membership takes effect. An athlete may remove themselves from a roster at any time.

Roster membership is consent to be shared. By joining a program's roster, an athlete consents to have their recruiting profile — including name, photograph, school, position, grade, measurables, athletic film, academic information, contact details, and any documents they have uploaded — shared by that program's coaches with college coaches and other third parties, without individual approval of each recipient. Coaches may share an athlete's profile individually or as part of a group of athletes.

Public share links. A coach on a paid program plan may generate a share link that publishes an athlete's recruiting profile to a publicly accessible web page. These pages require no account, no password, and no sign-in. Anyone with the link may view them, and may forward, save, screenshot, or download what they see. Public share links may include academic documents, including transcripts and standardized test score reports.

Expiration and revocation. Share links are created with an expiration date. Once expired, the link stops displaying the profile. Links may also be revoked before expiration. Neither expiration nor revocation can recall, delete, or otherwise affect any copy, screenshot, or download that a viewer made while the link was active.

Athlete notification. We notify an athlete when their profile is published to a share link. Notification is not the same as approval; roster membership is the approval.

Athlete controls. Athletes control what they upload. An athlete who does not want a document — such as a transcript or test score report — to be capable of appearing on a public link should not upload it to GRID. Athletes may delete uploaded documents at any time. Athletes may leave a roster at any time, which ends the program’s authority to share them going forward.

Accuracy. Athletes are responsible for the accuracy of the information on their profile. Coaches may mark certain measurables as verified. A verified measurable indicates that a coach has attested to it; it is not independently confirmed by us.

You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make them available. As a user of the Services, you agree not to:

• Systematically retrieve data or content from the Services to create or compile a collection, compilation, database, or directory without our written permission.
• Scrape, harvest, or extract athlete profiles, contact information, or documents from the Services by any automated means.
• Trick, defraud, or mislead us or other users, especially in any attempt to learn sensitive account information such as passwords.
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with security-related features of the Services, including features that restrict access to athlete information or that enforce expiration of share links.
• Attempt to access, guess, enumerate, or brute-force a share link, public profile URL, or any other resource you were not given access to.
• Redistribute, republish, or resell athlete information, film, or documents obtained through the Services.
• Use information obtained from the Services to harass, abuse, contact inappropriately, or harm any person, including any minor.
• Use the Services in a manner inconsistent with any applicable law or regulation, including any law governing the recruitment of student athletes or the privacy of student records.
• Impersonate another user, athlete, coach, or person, or use the username of another user.
• Upload another person's documents, photographs, or personal information without their authorization.
• Create a profile with false or misleading recruiting information.
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or any material that interferes with the operation of the Services.
• Engage in any automated use of the system, including scripts, bots, data mining, robots, or similar tools.
• Interfere with, disrupt, or create an undue burden on the Services or the networks connected to them.
• Delete any copyright or proprietary notice from any Content.
• Copy, adapt, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any software comprising the Services, except as permitted by applicable law.
• Sell or otherwise transfer your profile or account.
• Use the Services to advertise or sell goods and services, or as part of any effort to compete with us.
• Harass, intimidate, or threaten any of our employees or agents.

Coaches: you receive athlete information — including the information of minors — in order to evaluate and recruit. You may not use it for any other purpose. You may not sell it, redistribute it, or provide it to any third party outside the recruiting purpose for which it was shared.

The Services allow you to upload, submit, post, and display content and materials, including photographs, athletic film links, measurables, academic information, and documents (collectively, "User Content").

When you upload User Content, you represent and warrant that:

• You are the creator and owner of the User Content, or have the necessary rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to upload it and to authorize its use as contemplated by these Legal Terms.
• If the User Content depicts or identifies any person other than yourself, you have that person's consent (and, if they are a minor, their parent or guardian's consent) to upload it.
• Your User Content does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights of any third party.
• Your User Content is not false, inaccurate, or misleading.
• Your User Content is not obscene, harassing, defamatory, threatening, or otherwise objectionable.
• Your User Content does not violate any applicable law or regulation.

You retain full ownership of your User Content and all intellectual property and proprietary rights associated with it. We do not claim ownership of your User Content.

We may remove or edit User Content at any time, without notice, if in our reasonable opinion it is harmful, unlawful, or in breach of these Legal Terms. We have no obligation to monitor User Content.

You retain ownership of your User Content. This section describes the limited permission you give us so that we can operate the Services.

License to operate the Services. By uploading User Content, you grant Louis Rose LLC a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, store, reproduce, display, transmit, and distribute that User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Services to you — including displaying it on your recruiting profile, sharing it with coaches in accordance with Section 7, and displaying it on public share links generated in accordance with Section 7.

License to generate graphics. GRID may allow you to generate GRID-branded graphics featuring your name, photograph, school, position, and athletic information — for example, an image announcing an offer or a commitment. When you generate such a graphic, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to render, host, and display that graphic so that we can provide the feature to you and so that you can share it. Graphics are generated only from information already present on your GRID profile.

Scope and duration. These licenses exist solely so that we can operate the Services. They do not permit us to sell, license, or sublicense your name, photograph, image, or likeness to any third party for advertising or commercial purposes unrelated to providing the Services to you.

Ending the license. These licenses end when you delete the User Content in question, or when you delete your account, except to the extent that: (a) the content has already been shared with a coach or published to a share link, in which case we cannot recall copies that others have made; and (b) we are required to retain it by law. Deleting your account deletes your profile and your uploaded documents from our active systems.

If you access the Services via the App, we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to install and use the App on wireless electronic devices owned or controlled by you, strictly in accordance with these Legal Terms.

You shall not: (1) except as permitted by applicable law, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, or decrypt the App; (2) make any modification, adaptation, improvement, or derivative work from the App; (3) violate any applicable laws in connection with your use of the App; (4) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notice posted by us; (5) use the App for any revenue-generating endeavor or commercial enterprise for which it is not designed; (6) make the App available over a network permitting access by multiple devices or users at the same time; (7) use the App to create a competing product or service; or (8) use the App to send automated queries or unsolicited commercial email.

Apple Devices

The following terms apply when you use the App obtained from the Apple App Store (the "App Distributor"): (1) the license granted to you is limited to a non-transferable license to use the App on a device that utilizes the Apple iOS operating system, in accordance with the App Distributor’s terms of service; (2) we, not the App Distributor, are responsible for providing maintenance and support services with respect to the App; (3) in the event of any failure of the App to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify the App Distributor, which may refund the purchase price, if any, and to the maximum extent permitted by law will have no other warranty obligation; (4) you represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a US government embargo and are not listed on any US government list of prohibited or restricted parties; (5) you must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the App; and (6) you acknowledge that the App Distributor is a third-party beneficiary of the terms in this section and has the right to enforce them against you.

The Services may contain links to other websites ("Third-Party Websites") and content originating from third parties ("Third-Party Content"), including athletic film hosted on third-party platforms such as Hudl and social media profiles you choose to link. Third-Party Websites and Third-Party Content are not investigated, monitored, or checked for accuracy, appropriateness, or completeness by us, and we are not responsible for them. Inclusion of or linking to any Third-Party Website or Third-Party Content does not imply approval or endorsement by us. If you access a Third-Party Website, you do so at your own risk, and these Legal Terms no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and privacy policies of any website you navigate to from the Services.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or these Legal Terms, including reporting such user to law enforcement; (3) refuse, restrict access to, limit the availability of, or disable any of your User Content; (4) remove from the Services any files or content that are excessive in size or burdensome to our systems; and (5) otherwise manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate their proper functioning.

We take the safety of minors seriously. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account, at our sole discretion and without notice, where we believe a user may pose a risk to a minor.

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy at gridscouting.com/privacy. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms.

The Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from another region with laws governing personal data collection that differ from those in the United States, then by continuing to use the Services you are transferring your data to the United States and expressly consent to have your data processed there.

We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we receive actual knowledge that a person under 13 has provided personal information to us, we will delete that information as quickly as is reasonably practical, in accordance with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes a copyright you own or control, please notify us at trose@louisrose.org. A copy of your notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material. Please be advised that under applicable law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in such a notification.

These Legal Terms remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

If we terminate or suspend your account, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party.

You may delete your account at any time from within the App or the Site, under Settings.

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. We have no obligation to update any information on our Services.

We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems, or need to perform maintenance, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. You agree that we have no liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime. Nothing in these Legal Terms obligates us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections, updates, or releases.

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Informal negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute"), you and we agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.

Binding arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Your arbitration fees and share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Except where otherwise required, the arbitration will take place in Forsyth County, Georgia.

If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, it will be commenced in the state and federal courts located in Forsyth County, Georgia, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either party be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

Restrictions

Any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public.

Exceptions

The following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Dispute seeking to enforce or protect the validity of a party’s intellectual property rights; (b) any Dispute related to allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors and to update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES WILL RESULT IN ANY ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP, RECRUITING OFFER, ROSTER SPOT, OR ANY OTHER RECRUITING OUTCOME. GRID IS A TOOL FOR PRESENTING AND DISTRIBUTING RECRUITING INFORMATION. IT DOES NOT INFLUENCE, GUARANTEE, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY RECRUITING DECISION MADE BY ANY SCHOOL, COACH, OR ATHLETIC PROGRAM.

WE DO NOT INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY THE IDENTITY, AFFILIATION, OR CREDENTIALS OF EVERY USER. WHILE WE OPERATE A VERIFICATION PROCESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL COACHES, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT EVERY USER IS WHO THEY CLAIM TO BE. EXERCISE JUDGMENT AND CAUTION.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFIT, LOST REVENUE, LOSS OF DATA, OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, OUR LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE AMOUNT PAID, IF ANY, BY YOU TO US DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING, OR $100.00 USD.

CERTAIN US STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our affiliates and our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party arising out of: (1) your User Content; (2) your use of the Services; (3) your breach of these Legal Terms; (4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms; (5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights; (6) your misuse of any athlete information obtained through the Services; or (7) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services.

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES.

These Legal Terms and any policies posted by us on the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We are not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control.

If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms.
