2. SMS Messaging Program (One-Time Passcode)

2.1 How to opt in

You opt in to the SMS Messaging Program by entering your mobile phone number on the Skipper Cricket "Welcome to Skipper" login screen (iOS app, Android app, or web app at www.skippercricket.com) and tapping the CONTINUE button. The screen prompts you to "Enter your phone number to get started. We'll send you a one-time code." and, directly below the CONTINUE button, displays the following consent disclosure with links to these Terms and the Privacy Policy: "By entering your phone number, you consent to receive a one-time verification code via SMS. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out. Terms & Privacy Policy." After tapping CONTINUE, you are taken to the "Verify Phone" screen where you enter the 6-digit code that was sent to your number and tap Verify to complete sign-in.

2.2 Message frequency

You will receive one (1) SMS message per login attempt that you initiate. We do not send unsolicited or recurring SMS messages. Typical users receive between zero and a few messages per month, depending on how often they sign in.

2.3 Message and data rates

Msg & data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge you for sending and receiving SMS messages. Skipper Cricket does not charge you for OTP messages.

2.4 Opt-out instructions

You can opt out of the SMS Messaging Program at any time by replying STOP to any SMS message you receive from Skipper Cricket. After you reply STOP, you will receive a single confirmation message, and we will not send you any further SMS messages. You can re-enroll at any time by initiating a new login and entering your phone number again. You can also delete your account (which removes your phone number from our systems) via the Account Deletion page.

2.5 Help

For help with the SMS Messaging Program, reply HELP to any SMS message you receive from Skipper Cricket, or contact us at support@skippercricket.com. Include the phone number you signed up with so we can assist you.

2.6 Supported carriers and compatibility

The SMS Messaging Program is available on major U.S. wireless carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and their respective prepaid and MVNO brands. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. SMS delivery is not guaranteed; delivery depends on carrier network conditions.

2.7 Privacy

Your phone number is used only to deliver the OTP and to authenticate you. We do not share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes. For full details on how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

3. Acceptable Use

Skipper Cricket is a family-friendly platform intended for cricket enthusiasts of all ages. You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws.
• Create, share, or stream content that is abusive, harassing, threatening, hateful, discriminatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
• Create, share, or stream any adult, sexually explicit, pornographic, or nudity-containing content.
• Use profane, vulgar, or obscene language in team names, player names, profile names, live stream audio/video, or any other user-generated content.
• Create, share, or stream content that promotes violence, self-harm, substance abuse, or illegal activities.
• Create, share, or stream content that is graphic, gory, or designed to shock or disturb.
• Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity.
• Engage in bullying, intimidation, or targeted harassment of other users.
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service, servers, or networks connected to the Service.
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service or other users' accounts.
• Use automated means (bots, scrapers, etc.) to access or interact with the Service.
• Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code.

4. Content Standards

All content created on or shared through the Service must be appropriate for a general audience. Specifically:

• No adult content: Any sexually explicit, suggestive, or pornographic material is strictly prohibited, including in live streams, profile images, and team/player names.
• No obscene language: Profanity, slurs, and vulgar language are not permitted in any user-generated content. This includes creative spellings or abbreviations intended to bypass this restriction.
• No hate speech: Content that attacks, demeans, or incites hatred against individuals or groups based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or any other protected characteristic is prohibited.
• No graphic violence: Content depicting real-world violence, gore, or cruelty is not allowed.
• Child safety: Any content that exploits, endangers, or sexualizes minors will result in immediate account termination and may be reported to law enforcement.

We may use automated systems and human review to detect and remove content that violates these standards. Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent ban without prior notice.

5. User-Generated Content

The Service allows you to create and share content including match data, team names, player names, live scorecard streams, and live video streams ("User Content").

• You retain ownership of your User Content.
• By creating User Content on the Service, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service.
• You are solely responsible for your User Content and its legality, accuracy, and appropriateness.
• We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable, at our sole discretion.

5.1 Trademarks and copyrighted material

You must not use names, logos or other material that belong to someone else unless you own them or have permission to use them. This applies to team, tournament, league and academy names, logos, jerseys, banners, photos, stream overlays and anything else you upload or display on the Service. In particular, you must not:

• use the name, logo or branding of a professional league, tournament or cricket board, such as the Indian Premier League (IPL), or suggest that your team or tournament is connected to or endorsed by one;
• use the name, logo, jersey design or other branding of an IPL franchise or any other professional team as your own team or tournament identity;
• upload or stream broadcast footage, commercial music, photos or artwork you do not have the rights to.

We may rename, hide or remove any team, tournament, logo or other User Content that we believe uses someone else’s trademark or copyright without permission, and may suspend accounts that repeatedly do so. If you believe content on the Service infringes your rights, write to us at support@skippercricket.com with the link to the content and details of your claim.

6. Live Streaming

The Service may allow you to stream matches to YouTube Live or other platforms.

• You are responsible for all content in your live streams, including video, audio, and scoreboard overlays.
• Live streams must comply with both these Terms and the terms of the streaming platform (e.g., YouTube Terms of Service).
• You must not stream content that you do not have the right to broadcast.
• You are responsible for permission. Before going live, you must have the right to broadcast everyone who may appear or be heard, including players, officials, and bystanders. Where any person filmed is a minor, you must have consent from a parent or guardian, and where the match is run by a club, academy, or school, you must have that organisation's permission.
• A stream is public and it persists. Unless you restrict it, anyone with the link can watch, and the recording generally remains available on the streaming platform after the match ends. Audio captures conversation near the device as well as play.
• Position the camera responsibly. Do not broadcast areas people would reasonably expect to be private, such as changing rooms.
• We may suspend or terminate your streaming access if you violate these Terms or applicable platform policies.

7. Match Video Recording (DRS Cam)

The Service may allow you to record video of play from a camera device you position at the ground, and to replay it to review umpiring decisions.

• You are responsible for permission. Before recording, you must have the right to film everyone who may appear, including players, officials, and bystanders. Where any person filmed is a minor, you must have consent from a parent or guardian, and where the match is run by a club, academy, or school, you must have that organisation's permission.
• Recordings capture people, not just cricket. Anyone in view of the camera may be recorded. Do not position a camera where it films areas people would reasonably expect to be private, such as changing rooms.
• Where recordings are stored. Clips are recorded on your device and may be uploaded to our servers so you and people you share a session with can view them. Once a clip has been uploaded, the copy on your device may be removed to free space.
• Improving ball tracking. We may use match video and any labels you add to it (such as marking a delivery an LBW appeal) to develop and improve the Service's ball-tracking and video features. If you do not want your recordings used this way, do not enable DRS Cam.
• Deletion. You can delete clips at any time from within the app. Deleting a clip removes it from your account; see our Privacy Policy for how deletion is handled on our systems.
• Decisions remain human. DRS Cam replays footage and may draw guides such as stump lines. It does not adjudicate. Any output is indicative only and must not be presented as an official or automated decision.

8. Content Reporting

We are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful community. If you encounter content that violates these Terms:

• Use the in-app reporting feature to flag inappropriate content, including abusive live streams, offensive team/player names, or harassing behavior.
• We review all reports and take appropriate action, which may include content removal, account warnings, or account suspension.
• For more information, see our Report Content page.

9. Intellectual Property

• The Service, including its design, code, features, and branding, is owned by Leveret Technologies Private Ltd. and protected by intellectual property laws.
• You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service without our written permission.
• "Skipper Cricket" and associated logos are trademarks of Leveret Technologies Private Ltd.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with third-party services:

• YouTube API Services: Subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and Google Privacy Policy.
• Google Places: Subject to Google Terms of Service.
• We are not responsible for the practices or content of third-party services.

11. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

The Service offers optional purchases through the Apple App Store and Google Play ("app stores").

11.1 Auction Unlock

• An auction unlock is a one-time purchase that enables one player auction. It is priced by the number of teams in the auction (for example, up to 8 teams or up to 16 teams).
• An auction unlock applies only to the auction it was purchased for.
• If an auction needs more teams than its current unlock covers, you can buy a top-up purchase to upgrade that auction to a larger team-count band.
• Skipper may separately grant an auction access approval that substitutes for a purchase for a given auction.

11.2 Academy Subscription

• The academy subscription is a monthly auto-renewing subscription for academy owners, tiered by the number of active students.
• Each tier covers up to a fixed number of active students. When your academy reaches that number, you must move to a higher tier before activating more students.
• A free trial may be offered for the subscription. Each academy gets one trial, counted from when the academy is created or from when the subscription is introduced, whichever is later.
• The subscription renews automatically each month until you cancel it. To avoid being charged for the next period, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
• You manage and cancel the subscription in your Apple ID or Google Play account settings, not in the app.
• Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
• If you upgrade to a higher tier, the new tier applies, subject to the app store's proration rules. A downgrade to a lower tier may take effect at the next renewal.
• If your subscription lapses, or a free trial ends without converting to a paid subscription, the academy becomes read-only: you cannot add new students, invoices, bookings, fee plans, or store orders. Existing academy data is kept. Parents can still pay invoices that were already issued before the academy became read-only.

11.3 Refunds

Refunds for purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies. We cannot issue refunds for these purchases directly.

11.4 Price changes

We may change the price of an in-app purchase or subscription. For a price increase to an existing subscription, the app store will notify you in advance, and where the app store or local law requires it, you must agree to the new price before it applies to you.

11.5 Account and entitlement

In-app purchases are linked to the Skipper account that made them. The resulting entitlement belongs to the specific auction or academy it was purchased for, not to the account generally.

11.6 Registration and coaching fees paid via Razorpay

Tournament registration fees and academy coaching or fee-plan payments that you pay to a tournament organiser or academy are collected through Razorpay by or on behalf of that organiser or academy. These payments are not in-app purchases made through the app stores, and the organiser's or academy's own terms and refund policies apply to them.

12. Account Termination

• You may delete your account at any time. See our Account Deletion page for instructions.
• We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, with or without notice.
• Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

13. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

• We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
• We do not guarantee the accuracy of match data, scores, or statistics generated by the Service.
• You use the Service at your own risk.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Leveret Technologies Private Ltd. shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits, or revenue, arising out of or related to your use of the Service.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Leveret Technologies Private Ltd. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any disputes arising from these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Bangalore, India.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
