Terms of Service

By creating an account, signing in, or otherwise using Recursive ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you don't agree, don't use the Service. If you're using Recursive on behalf of an organization (a club, association, or league), you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Recursive is a sports-club operations platform provided by Recursive Creations, LLC ("we," "us"). The Service includes web access at recursive.sports (or successor domains), the underlying APIs, and any associated mobile or desktop clients we publish. We may add, remove, or change features as the platform evolves.

You're responsible for: (a) keeping your account credentials secure, (b) the accuracy of information you provide, (c) all activity under your account. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

Recursive does not currently support direct accounts for users under 13. Account holders must be at least 13 years old. When a parent, guardian, club administrator, or coach enters information about a minor (roster entry, schedule, photo, statistics), the adult is responsible for confirming they have appropriate consent to share that information on the minor's behalf. See Privacy Policy §5 for the full COPPA-compliance posture and parents' rights.

Don't use Recursive to: harass, threaten, or harm others; upload content that infringes a third party's rights; circumvent authentication or access data belonging to other clubs or members; introduce malware or attempt to compromise the Service's security; resell, white-label, or sublicense access without our written consent (Association tier customers may have specific licence terms in their contract).

You retain ownership of the content you upload (rosters, photos, schedules, messages, club information). By uploading content, you grant us a limited licence to store, display, and process that content as necessary to provide the Service to you and your club. We do not claim ownership of your data, do not sell it, and will not use it to train advertising or third-party AI models. We will return or delete your content on cancellation per our Privacy Policy.

Recursive offers free, paid, and custom tiers, plus a la carte add-on subscriptions, as described on our pricing page. Paid tiers and add-ons are billed monthly or annually as selected at signup. Annual billing is non-refundable except where required by law or as described in §7 below. Sales tax may apply based on your billing address. We may change pricing for new subscriptions at any time; existing subscribers will be notified at least 30 days before any price increase takes effect on their account.

[LEGAL REVIEW: Verify against the actual billing implementation when payments ship (processor selection in progress per docs/audits/PAYMENT_PROCESSOR_EVALUATION.md). The 30-day price-change notice is conventional but should be confirmed.]

You may cancel a paid subscription at any time. On cancellation: monthly subscriptions continue until the end of the current billing period; annual subscriptions are pro-rated within the first 30 days and non-refundable thereafter. Free tiers can be deactivated at any time without charge. After cancellation, your data remains accessible in a 90-day read-only state during which you can export it. After 90 days, your data is purged per our Privacy Policy.

Recursive, the Recursive logo, the spiral mark, and all associated trademarks are the property of Recursive Creations, LLC. The Service's source code, design, and user interface are protected by copyright, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you a licence to use our trademarks or copyrighted material outside the Service.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties about uninterrupted operation, error-free behaviour, or fitness for a particular purpose beyond what's required by applicable consumer-protection law. Sports outcomes recorded in Recursive are user-generated; we don't guarantee accuracy and aren't responsible for disputes about scoring or standings between clubs.

To the maximum extent allowed by law, Recursive Creations is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid us for the Service in the 12 months preceding the claim, or $100, whichever is greater.

[LEGAL REVIEW: This limitation needs an attorney's eye. The cap (12 months / $100) is conventional but jurisdiction-dependent. Some U.S. states limit what you can disclaim.]

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or for prolonged inactivity (12+ months on a free tier with no logins). We will give reasonable notice except when prompt termination is necessary to prevent harm. You may terminate your account at any time.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Williamson County, Texas. You waive any objection to that venue.

[LEGAL REVIEW: Confirm your state of incorporation matches Texas. If you'd prefer arbitration over litigation (most SaaS uses arbitration clauses), this section needs replacement.]

We may update these Terms occasionally. Material changes will be communicated via email to active accounts and posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. If you don't accept a change, you may cancel your account.
