These Terms and Conditions of Service (“Terms”) govern the users access to and use of WFFA’s websites, applications, products and services (collectively, the “Service”). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service.

By accessing or using any part of our Service, you (“you” or “your”, which includes the child user or such child user’s sponsor authorizing the child’s use of the Service) agree to be bound by these Terms, our Acceptable Use Policy, our Returns Policy and by our Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Policies”).  The Policies are hereby incorporated into these Terms by reference as if set forth herein. 

The WFFA App is a service and tool that players, coaches and parents use to help players develop skills and passion for sports, physical activities and other skills, to express and develop their creativity in these activities, to inspire others and be inspired by others through sharing their skill videos and accomplishments, and to encourage skill challenges with friends, teammates, members of their organizations, and other players throughout the world.

Using the WFFA App

1. Registering an Account. You may use our Service only if you are legally able to form a binding contract with WFFA, and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws. When you create your account or authorize an account on behalf of your child, you must provide us with accurate and complete information. Failure to provide accurate information may limit the functions and features available and the termination of your account. You may not:

1. 1. Select or use a username of another person with the intention of impersonating that person;
   2. Use a username of anyone else without authorization;
   3. Use a username in violation of the intellectual property or other legal rights of any person; or
   4. Use a username that WFFA considers, in its sole subjective discretion, inappropriate.

2. Children Under 13. Use or access by anyone under the age of thirteen (13) is permitted but the social features require acknowledgement by your Sponsor—such as parent(s), legal guardian(s) or an adult coach who has received written permission from your parent(s) or legal guardian to use the Service. We reserve the right to implement any type of verification, including your request to enter a credit card or other information to verify your identity, prior to permitting the creation of an account for a child under thirteen (13) years of age in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Failure to do so will result in the immediate termination of your account.

3. Our License to You. Subject to these Terms, the Policies and your registration of an account, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use our Service for personal educational purposes on your own behalf.  If you want to use our Service for purposes beyond your own use, you must agree to our separate Marketing Agreement or Content Provider Agreement. Portions of our Service include software that may be downloaded to your computer, phone, tablet, or other device. You agree that we may automatically upgrade those portions of the Service, and these Terms will apply to such upgrades.  You do not have the permission to distribute content from the Service through any medium unless WFFA makes available the means for such distribution through functions offered by the Service.

Your Content 

1. Sharing Your User Content and Information. The Service allows you to post content, including videos, photos, graphics, sounds, audiovisuals, comments, and other materials. Anything that you post or otherwise make available on our Service, or that your child (if applicable) makes available on the Service, or that is posted on our social media sites is referred to as “User Content.” You retain all rights in, and are solely responsible for, the User Content you create and share through our Service.  You further agree that the User Content you submit to the Service will not contain third party copyright protected material, or material that is subject to other third party proprietary rights, unless you have permission from the rightful owner of the material or you are otherwise legally entitled to post the material and to grant WFFA all of the license rights granted herein.  Please see our Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice contained within the Policies.

2. License to your User Content. Because one of the purposes of WFFA is to share and promote competitions and the teaching and development of skills and accomplishments, you grant WFFA (and its successors, affiliates and designated partners and sponsors ) a worldwide, irrevocable, permanent, nonexclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license to use, store, display, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, perform, and distribute your User Content in connection with the Service and WFFA’s (and its successors’, affiliates’ and designated partners’ and sponsors’) business, including without limitation, for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels in perpetuity. We reserve the right to remove User Content for any reason including User Content that we believe violates these Terms or our policies.  You specifically hereby grant each user of the Service a non-exclusive license to access your User Content through the Service and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such Content as permitted through the functions of the Service.  The above licenses are perpetual and irrevocable.  You agree that all User Content shall comply with the Policies.

3. How Long do we Keep your Content. Following termination or deactivation of your account or removal of any User Content, we may retain your User Content for a commercially reasonable period of time for backup, archival, or audit purposes and for any other purposes granted to us under these Terms. Furthermore, other users that you have allowed to receive your User Content when posting (such as a coach or fellow player) may retain and continue to use, store, display, and perform, any of your User Content that other users have stored in their respective accounts.  Additionally, derivative works created with your User Content may continue to be used for WFFA’s business following the termination or deactivation of your account.

4. Feedback you Provide. We value hearing from our users, and are always interested in learning about ways we can make WFFA more awesome. If you choose to submit comments, ideas or feedback, you agree that we are free to use them without any restriction or compensation to you.

You understand that any content accessible through the Service is provided for informational, educational, or entertainment purposes only.

Accordingly, you are urged and advised and shall take steps to seek the advice of a physician before beginning any physical activity regimen, routine, or program or using any suggested equipment shown in the Service. You are never required to perform any suggestions and comments within the Service relating to physical activity, poses, moves or the use of equipment.

Arbitration

For any dispute you have with WFFA, you agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. If we have not been able to resolve the dispute with you informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms by binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA, except as provided herein. Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules.  The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service. EXCEPT FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DISPUTES DESCRIBED IN THE ARBITRATION SECTION ABOVE, YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND WFFA WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION.  ALL SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS SHALL OCCUR EXCLUSIVELY IN DENVER, COLORADO, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

You may opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor WFFA can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt-out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this email address to opt-out: info@theWFFA.org. You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your account, and a clear statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement.

If the prohibition against class actions and other claims brought on behalf of third parties contained above is found to be unenforceable, then all of the preceding language in this Arbitration section will be null and void. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with WFFA.
