Terms of Service

Climbing ScoreCard

Effective date: July 26, 2026
Last updated: July 26, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and [LEGAL ENTITY / OWNER NAME] ("Climbing ScoreCard," "we," "us," or "our") governing your use of the website at climbingscorecard.com and the Climbing ScoreCard software and services (together, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Definitions

  • Organizer — a gym, event host, or staff member who creates an account to set up and run competitions.
  • Route Setter — a person granted access to plan and track route setting.
  • Judge — a person who scores competitors, typically via a one-time access code.
  • Participant / Competitor — a person entered into a competition.
  • Visitor — anyone who browses the website or views public event content.
  • User — any person who uses the Service in any capacity.

2. Eligibility and age

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to create an Organizer account. Minors may participate in competitions only when entered by an Organizer who has obtained any required consent from a parent or guardian. By creating an account, you represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are authorized to accept these Terms.

3. Accounts and security

You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at info@climbingscorecard.com if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a security or legal risk.

4. License to use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose — organizing, judging, participating in, or viewing climbing competitions. This license does not transfer any ownership rights to you.

5. Organizer responsibilities

If you are an Organizer, you are responsible for:

  • the accuracy of the events, routes, competitors, and scores you enter;
  • obtaining any necessary permissions and consents from competitors (and, for minors, from a parent or guardian) before entering their information;
  • complying with all applicable laws, venue rules, and competition regulations;
  • how you use, display, and share competition data, including on public leaderboards and screens.

You acknowledge that certain competition information is displayed publicly as part of the Service, as described in our Privacy Policy.

6. Payments and voluntary contributions

Some features of the Service are offered free of charge. Voluntary contributions ("tips" or donations) may be made through third-party payment services such as Venmo. All contributions are voluntary and non-refundable unless required by law. We do not process or store your payment credentials; those are handled by the payment provider under its own terms. If paid plans are introduced in the future, their pricing and terms will be presented at the time of purchase.

7. Demo and sample data

The Service may include a demo or sample competition with pre-loaded data so you can explore features. Demo content is for evaluation only, may be reset or removed at any time, and should not be relied on for real events or record-keeping.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

  • copy, reproduce, republish, frame, mirror, or create derivative works from the Service or its content, except as expressly permitted;
  • reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to discover the source code or underlying structure of the Service;
  • scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the Service, or access it through automated means, except as we expressly authorize;
  • resell, sublicense, rent, or commercially exploit the Service or access to it;
  • circumvent, disable, or interfere with security, authentication, rate-limiting, or access controls;
  • introduce malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure;
  • upload unlawful, infringing, or harmful content, or use the Service to violate anyone's rights;
  • remove or obscure any proprietary or copyright notices.

9. Intellectual property

The Service — including its software, source code, design, layout, text, graphics, logos, the "ScoreCard" and "Climbing ScoreCard" names and branding, and all related intellectual property — is owned by Climbing ScoreCard and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. All rights not expressly granted to you are reserved. Nothing in these Terms gives you any right to use our name, logos, or branding without our prior written permission.

You retain ownership of the data and content you submit ("Your Content"). You grant us a license to host, process, display, and transmit Your Content as needed to provide and operate the Service (including public display of competition data as described in the Privacy Policy).

10. Third-party services

The Service relies on and links to third-party services (for example, hosting, contact-form delivery, payment, fonts, and analytics providers). We are not responsible for third-party services or their content, and your use of them is governed by their own terms and policies.

11. Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. You are responsible for maintaining your own records and backups of important data.

12. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SCORES, RESULTS, TIMING, OR OTHER OUTPUTS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, OR ERROR-FREE, AND FINAL COMPETITION RESULTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ORGANIZER.

13. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, CLIMBING SCORECARD AND ITS OWNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Climbing ScoreCard and its owners from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party right — including, for Organizers, claims relating to competition data or the lack of required consents.

15. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect the Service or others. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [GOVERNING-LAW STATE, e.g. Oregon], United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that the state and federal courts located in [COUNTY / STATE] will have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute not subject to alternative resolution, and you consent to that jurisdiction.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes may be highlighted on the website. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
