Terms of Service

Who we are

This app is operated by AYSO Region 820(Menifee, California) — “the region”, “we”, “us” — for its registered families. It exists so that those families have their schedules, rosters and league communications in one place.

The software is built and maintained for the region by YoungCow Media LLC, an Arizona limited liability company operating in California, run by a league volunteer. YoungCow Media LLC provides the app to the region as its technology vendor and is not a party to these terms. It is an intended beneficiary of the sections below headed “The app is provided as it is”, “Limits on our responsibility” and “Your responsibility for what you post”, which means the protections in those sections apply to it as well as to the region.

AYSO Region 820 is a volunteer region of AYSO and follows AYSO’s rules. The league decisions you see in this app — team placements, eligibility, field closures, cancellations — are the region’s, made outside the app. Registration and payment happen in AYSO’s own registration system, not here.

Accepting these terms

These terms are the agreement between you and AYSO Region 820 for your use of the app. Our Privacy policy is part of them. By signing in or continuing to use the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app — the region can give you your schedule and your team’s information another way.

We may also ask you to confirm that you accept them inside the app, and to do so again if we make a material change. See Changes to these terms below.

What this app does, and what it does not promise

The app shows you what league administrators and coaches have entered: schedules, rosters, team messages, field closures, announcements, and the league’s safety records. It reports; it does not decide.

It is not a safety-monitoring service and it is not an emergency system. A field closure, a heat or weather cancellation, or a schedule change appears here when someone at the region enters it. That can be late. A notification can be delayed, silenced by your phone, blocked by a network, or missed entirely. Do not read the absence of a notice as confirmation that a game is on, that a field is open, or that conditions are safe. When it matters, check with your coach or the region, use your own judgement about heat, weather and travel, and call 911 in an emergency.

We work to keep the app accurate and available, and we will say so when we know something is wrong. We cannot promise it is always right or always up.

Who may use the app

Accounts are for adults — parents and guardians, coaches, and league officials — who are 18 or older. Children do not have accounts and cannot sign in. Player information is entered by the league from its registration records.

Not every adult can create an account: sign-in is limited to email addresses the region’s roster lists, or that a household or the region has approved. Your account is yours. Do not share sign-in codes, and remember that anyone who can read your email can request one — you are responsible for what happens under your account, and for keeping the email account behind it secure. Tell us or the region promptly if you think someone else has used yours.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content

Harassment, threats, discriminatory language, sexual content, content that targets a child, and abuse of any participant are not allowed. Accounts that post such content have it removed and may lose access to messaging entirely.

What you agree to by using team chat

• Post only what you would say in front of the team.
• Do not share another family's contact details or photos of other people's children without their permission.
• Do not use the chat for commercial solicitation.
• Treat referees, coaches, and volunteers with respect.

What else you may not do

• Do not try to reach another family's or another team's information, or use anyone else's account.
• Do not use contact details you find in the app for anything other than league business — no marketing, no lists, no passing them on.
• Do not collect information from the app automatically, or copy it in bulk.
• Do not interfere with the app's security, probe it, or work around the limits on what your account can see.
• Do not impersonate another parent, a coach, or a league official.

Reporting and blocking

Every message from another person has a Report or block control. Reporting sends the message to AYSO Region 820 administrators for review. Blocking immediately hides that person’s messages from you.

Administrators review reports and may remove content or remove a person’s ability to post. Removed messages are retained privately so that the decision can be reviewed.

Photos and messages you post

What you post stays yours. You give YoungCow Media LLC and AYSO Region 820 permission to store it, show it to the people in the app it is addressed to, and keep it as part of the league’s safeguarding records — and nothing beyond that. We do not use your content for advertising, we do not sell it, we do not license it to anyone else, and we do not use it to train anything.

That permission lasts as long as the record does. Deleting your account takes your name off your messages — they show as “Former member” — but the messages themselves stay in the league’s safeguarding records. The Privacy policy says exactly what is kept and why.

By posting, you confirm you have the right to — including permission from another family before you post a photo of their child. We and the region can remove content that breaks these rules, without notice.

Our work, and AYSO’s marks

The app itself — its code, design and words — belongs to YoungCow Media LLC. While you are a Region 820 participant you may use it for that purpose; you may not copy it, resell it, or run it elsewhere.

AYSO’s name and the region’s crest belong to AYSO. They appear here because this app is built for the region’s own program.

Suspension, removal, and ending your account

Region administrators may warn you, remove your ability to post, or remove your access, and you will be told the reason. Where there is a risk to a child’s safety, access can be suspended immediately and the reason given afterwards.

You can delete your own account from within the app at any time. A few records are kept afterwards because AYSO policy or the safety of children requires it; the Privacy policy lists them.

We may change the app, and we may stop running it. It is provided free to the region by a volunteer, not sold to you. If it is discontinued we will give the region reasonable notice so it can make other arrangements for its records.

The app is free

Families pay us nothing. Registration fees are paid to AYSO through its own registration system, not to us. There is no advertising in the app, and we do not sell your information or your family’s data.

The app is provided as it is

To the fullest extent the law allows, the app is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that what it shows will always be accurate, complete or on time.

We take protecting this information seriously — access is restricted at the database level, and the Privacy policy describes how. But no system is impenetrable, and we will not tell you otherwise. If we learn of a breach affecting your family’s information, we will notify you and the region as the law requires.

Where the law does not allow one of these exclusions, it does not apply to you.

Limits on our responsibility

Two things this section does not do, and cannot. Nothing in these terms limits our responsibility for our own fraud, willful injury, violation of law, or gross negligence. California law does not permit that (Civil Code §1668), and we are not going to write a sentence that pretends otherwise.

Within that limit, and to the extent the law allows: neither AYSO Region 820 nor YoungCow Media LLC is responsible for indirect or consequential losses — a missed game, travel costs, a lost opportunity — arising from your use of the app, or from information in it being late, wrong or missing.

We are also not responsible for what other people post. This agreement is between you and AYSO Region 820, and covers your use of this app only; nothing in it affects your rights against AYSO national, or against anyone else, and nothing in it covers league decisions the region makes outside the app.

Risk, and what we are and are not asking you to accept

Playing soccer carries risk. Those risks — and any release about them — are handled by AYSO’s own registration paperwork, which you completed with the region. Not by this app, and not by these terms. We do not ask you to sign away anything on your child’s behalf.

What we do ask is narrower, and it is about information: you accept that the app reports what the region enters, that a notice can be late or missing, and that decisions about travel, heat, weather and your family’s safety remain yours. If we are ordinarily negligent in operating the app, you agree — so far as California law allows — that the section above sets the limits. That agreement does not reach gross negligence, willful injury, fraud, or a violation of law, and could not.

If there is a disagreement

Talk to us first. Email [email protected] with what happened and what you would like done, and we will try to resolve it within 30 days. Most problems with a league app are league problems, and the region can usually fix them faster than anyone else can.

If that does not work: these terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and any dispute goes to the state or federal courts serving Riverside County, California. YoungCow Media LLC is registered in Arizona; California law and a California venue are chosen deliberately, because the families, the region and the operations are all here.

Nothing here stops you taking a matter to small claims court, or raising it with a regulator. This draft contains no arbitration clause and no class-action waiver; whether to add either is question 5 below, and it is not a developer’s call.

Your responsibility for what you post

You are responsible for what you post and for how you use the app. To the extent the law allows, you agree to cover AYSO Region 820 and YoungCow Media LLC against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs that arise from content you post, from your breach of these terms, or from your misuse of the app. This does not apply to anything caused by our own fraud, willful injury, violation of law, or gross negligence.

Changes to these terms

If we change these terms we will publish the new version with a new date at the top of this page, and where the change is significant we will tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect. If you do not agree with a change, stop using the app and delete your account.

When a change is material, we will ask you to agree to the new version in the app before you carry on using it. We will not ask again for a correction that does not change what you are agreeing to.

The rest

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still stands. If we do not enforce something straight away, we have not given it up. These terms and the Privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and AYSO Region 820 about the app. You cannot transfer your account to someone else. If the app is ever handed to another operator, these terms may be transferred with it, and we will tell you.
