These terms and conditions (“Terms”) set out important information regarding the rights, obligations and restrictions that may apply to you as a “User” when you access our “Website” at https://sportsacademy.us/ and/or access, use or download the Rise “Application” available on “Devices” such as cell phones, tablets, and personal computers, and any “Services” offered in conjunction with the Application or Website. The Services may include content and media identification and exploration and, in some cases, access to related “Third Party Applications and/or Sites” that can be used in conjunction with the Services (for example, e-commerce providers, social networking sites, sites accessible via QR codes, information and access feature providers). The Application is licensed, not sold, to you by Sports Academy Venture Lab, Inc. (“Sports Academy,” “we,” “us” and “our” as appropriate) for use subject to these Terms. Sports Academy and/or its licensors retain ownership of the Application itself and reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. The Services, where not specifically provided otherwise, are supplied by Sports Academy as defined below.

You can also contact us by email info@sportsacademy.us.

These Terms may be accessed via the Application directly from your Device or on our Website at https://sportsacademy.us/terms-of-use-privacy-policy/app/. Any translations of these Terms are provided as a courtesy to you and the definitive text of these Terms is the English (USA) version. By using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and any applicable laws regarding your use of Sports Academy. You must also pay any charges for the Services which may be applicable.

Once you start using Sports Academy, you hereby agree to waive any right to a limited period in which you could revoke your purchase or claim a refund upon cancellation of your purchase (also known as a cooling off period) (if any) available to you under any applicable e-commerce regulations or consumer protection laws. In the event a waiver of these rights is prohibited under the law, this cooling off period shall be limited to seven (7) days or (if shorter) the minimum period permitted by law.

AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES

We will do our best to offer you a smooth service, but we give no guarantees that The Website, Application and Services will be fault free or that the Services will be uninterrupted. If a fault does occur, please report it to Customer Services, at info@sportsacademy.us or by using our in-app support options, and we will attempt to correct the fault as soon as we reasonably can.

We will occasionally restrict your access to the Website or to the Services to carry out repairs, maintenance or to introduce new functionality or services and we will endeavor to keep disruption to a minimum.
New Services are subject to a period of testing. This means that a new Service may not perform with complete functionality, may be undergoing testing, may be inconsistently available, may have software “bugs” being fixed by us and may have other issues affecting availability and functionality.

Unsolicited Ideas and Feedback

We welcome your feedback on what we are currently doing (both positive and negative). If you want to send us your feedback, we ask that you use our contact form. Any feedback you provide to us can be used by us on an unrestricted basis and treated by us as non-confidential.

Please do not tell us anything that contains new or original ideas, in respect of which you might want, now or in future, to claim any form of proprietary rights.

Resolving Disputes

These Terms and the relationship between you and us shall be governed by the laws of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. In the event of a dispute, we want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting info@sportsacademy.us. We’ll try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting you via email. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 business days of submission, you or Sports Academy may bring a formal proceeding.

In the United States You and Sports Academy agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Los Angeles, California or any other location we agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Sports Academy agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles, CA . Both you and Sports Academy consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
