Last Updated: August 28, 2023
Welcome to the Roster Athletics website located at www.rosterathletics.com (the “Site”).
Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) and our
https://resource.rosterathletics.com/legal/consumer/Privacy.html (“Privacy Policy”) carefully
because they govern your use of our Site and our digital competition management platform
and athletics-related services and games accessible via our Site and our mobile device
application (“App”). To make these Terms easier to read, the Site, our services and App are
collectively called the “Services,” and the terms “Roster Athletics,” “we,” and “us” include
Roster Athletics LLC and our affiliates and subsidiaries.
1. Agreement to Terms. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you
don’t agree to be bound by these Terms, do not use the Services. If you are accessing and using
the Services on behalf of a company (such as your employer) or other legal entity, you
represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that company or other legal entity to
these Terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that company or other legal entity.
2. Privacy Policy. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how we collect, use and
disclose information from our users. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Services is
subject to our Privacy Policy.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING ARBITRATION: WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS YOU ARE
AGREEING (WITH LIMITED EXCEPTION) TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND ROSTER
ATHLETICS THROUGH BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. PLEASE
REVIEW CAREFULLY SECTION 17 “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” BELOW FOR DETAILS REGARDING
ARBITRATION (INCLUDING THE PROCEDURE TO OPT OUT OF ARBITRATION).
3. Changes to Terms or Services. We may update the Terms at any time, in our sole discretion. If
we do so, we’ll let you know either by posting the updated Terms on the Site or through other
communications. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update them or you
use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted updated Terms, you
are agreeing to be bound by the updated Terms. If you don’t agree to be bound by the updated
Terms, then, except as otherwise provided in Section 17(e) “Effect of Changes on Arbitration,”
you may not use the Services anymore. Because our Services are evolving over time we may
change or discontinue all or any part of the Services, at any time and without notice, at our sole
discretion.
4. Who May Use the Services?
(a) Eligibility. While some aspects of the Services are provided to all users, for other aspects,
such as the ability to use social features, you must be at least 13 years of age (or such other
minimum age at which you can provide consent to data processing under the laws of your
jurisdiction). For certain features of the Services, you’ll need an account. It’s important that you
provide us with accurate, complete and current account information, and keep this information
up to date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your account. To protect your

are responsible for the acts of their children who use our Services.
(b) Registration and Your Information. If you want to use certain features of the Services you’ll
have to create an account (“Account”). You can do this via the Site or through your account

your SNS Account certain personal information such as your name and email address and other
personal information (including your profile photo) that your privacy settings on the SNS
Account permit us to access.
(c) Accuracy of Account Information. It’s important that you provide us with accurate, complete
and up-to-date information for your Account and you agree to update such information to keep
it accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you don’t, we might have to suspend or terminate your
Account. You agree that you won’t disclose your Account password to anyone and you’ll notify
us immediately of any unauthorized use of your Account. You’re responsible for all activities
that occur under your Account, whether or not you know about them.

Services (“Feedback”). You can submit Feedback by emailing us at

15. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of
New York without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set
forth in Section 16 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined
below) that you and Roster Athletics are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal
courts located in the [the Southern District of New York] and you and Roster Athletics each
waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
16. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy
arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement,
interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services or Content (collectively, “Disputes”)
will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or
consolidated action or proceeding. You and Roster Athletics agree that the U.S. Federal
Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and
Roster Athletics are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
(b) Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to Section 16(a) above: (i) you may seek to
resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or
misappropriation of our intellectual property rights. In addition, you will retain the right to opt
out of arbitration entirely and litigate any Dispute if you provide us with written notice of your
desire to do so by email at or by regular mail at 322 W 57th Street, No. 47M, New York, NY
10019, U.S.A. within thirty (30) days following the date you first agree to these Terms.
(c) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA
Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at or by
calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand
for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA
provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be
conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic
or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your
claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any
arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both
agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority
to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this
arbitration agreement.
(d) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed
by the AAA Rules. We’ll pay for all filing, administration and arbitrator fees and expenses if your
Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail
in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from
you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and
expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
(e) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND ROSTER ATHLETICS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS
AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the
parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another
person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a
representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then
the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
(f) Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3 “Changes to
Terms or Services” above, if we change any of the terms of this Section 16 “Dispute Resolution”
after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these
Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to
privacy@rosterathletics.com) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as
indicated in the “Last Updated” date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of
such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute
between you and us in accordance with the terms of this Section 17 “Dispute Resolution” as of
the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
(g) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 16(e) of these Terms
("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part
of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
17. General Terms.
(a) Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and
agreement between Roster Athletics and you regarding the Services and Content, and these
Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements
between Roster Athletics and you regarding the Services and Content. If any provision of these
Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these
Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by
operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign
or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and void. We may freely assign or
transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and
inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
(b) Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including
those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the
Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such
notice is transmitted.
(c) Waiver of Rights. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be
considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be
effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Roster Athletics.
Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies
under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or
otherwise.
