13. Governing Law & Jurisdiction The Policies and Terms outlined herein are subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, notwithstanding any conflict of law provisions. Your use of the Service constitutes your binding acceptance of these Terms, which are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act to the exclusion of state law inconsistent therewith.
a. Venue for Legal Proceedings Should any disputes arise requiring arbitration, or if there is a need to challenge the validity or applicability of these arbitration provisions, such proceedings must be initiated in the appropriate federal or state courts located within Delaware. This stipulation is intended to ensure that any legal actions or proceedings are conducted under the jurisdiction most closely associated with the Terms provided.
b. Arbitration Agreement By agreeing to these Terms, you affirm your consent to resolve any disputes through final and binding arbitration, as stipulated by the Federal Arbitration Act. This includes any motion to compel arbitration or to contest the enforceability or interpretation of the arbitration clause contained within these Terms.
14. Arbitration Agreement, Class Action Waiver, & Jury Trial Waiver: Carefully review these Terms as they establish that all disputes (“Disputes”) between you and SPiN will be settled through binding arbitration, which supersedes the right to a court trial. Without these Terms, you might have the right to bring claims in court before a judge or jury or to join or be represented in lawsuits filed by others, including class actions. By accepting these Terms, you forgo the right to court litigation and the chance to be heard by a judge or jury. Arbitration does not involve a judge or jury, and the review of an arbitration decision by a court is restricted. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms and can grant the same damages and relief as a court (including legal fees, subject to applicable law).
For this section, “SPiN” refers to Sports Profile Network Inc., its parent companies, affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. Any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and SPiN concerning any aspect of your relationship with SPiN, whether based on contract, law, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, gross negligence, or reckless conduct), or any other comparable legal theory, and including the validity, enforceability, or scope of this section (except for the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause). All “Disputes” are to be interpreted in the broadest manner enforceable.
You and SPiN mutually agree that all “Disputes,” as previously defined, whether currently existing or based on past or future actions or omissions, shall be resolved solely and conclusively by binding arbitration rather than in court, in line with this Term,
a. Pre-Arbitration Process: Before starting arbitration for any Disputes, both parties must try to resolve the issue amicably. If you have a Dispute, you should inform us via certified mail with your contact details, a description of the issue, what you want as a resolution, and your signature. If we can’t resolve the dispute within 60 days, you can request arbitration. Similarly, we will notify you via email if we have a dispute and will proceed to arbitration if it’s not resolved within 60 days. During this period, both parties are free to discuss directly to try and settle the dispute.
b. Arbitration Process Overview If a Dispute remains unresolved, you or SPiN may initiate arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will oversee the arbitration, which will be conducted by a sole arbitrator. The arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and not as part of any class or collective action. The arbitrator has the authority to resolve all matters, including the interpretation of these Terms.
i. Arbitration Rules Based on Dispute Amount
· For disputes amounting to less than $75,000, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will be applied.
· For disputes totaling $75,000 or more, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will govern.
· In both scenarios, the AAA’s Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection are applicable.
ii. Exclusion of Class Actions At no point will arbitration proceed on a class action basis.
iii. Governing Law The Federal Arbitration Act governs all disputes related to interstate commerce. The arbitrator will apply the relevant substantive law in a manner that is consistent with this act, including any applicable statutes of limitations or conditions precedent to filing a lawsuit.
iv. Unavailability: In the event that an arbitrator is unable to preside over a Dispute, the parties involved shall jointly request a list of five potential arbitrators from the American Arbitration Association. Upon receiving this list, each party will alternately strike names until one arbitrator remains to conduct the arbitration proceedings. If both parties can’t agree on an alternative arbitrator, they will request a state or federal court in New Jersey to appoint one who can manage the arbitration according to the similar rules and terms as AAA, including handling multiple cases at once if needed.
c. Arbitration Decision: The arbitrator can grant any legally permitted remedy to those directly involved in the arbitration. They cannot grant remedies affecting anyone who isn’t part of the arbitration. The arbitrator will document their decision in writing, but they don’t have to explain their reasoning unless asked. This decision is definitive and enforceable, subject to any appeals allowed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and can be upheld in any court with the proper authority.
d. Arbitration Venue: Arbitration will take place in New Jersey, or another place if the rules say so or if everyone agrees. Parties can join by phone or video call, just like being there in person, unless the arbitrator says otherwise.
e. Payment of Arbitration Fees & Costs The party starting the arbitration must pay the initial filing fees. Both parties are responsible for other fees as the rules say, unless the arbitrator finds the claims have no merit. If that happens, the party that made the claim must pay back the other party’s costs. The arbitrator might also ask the claimant’s lawyers to cover these costs. If the claim is found to be without basis, the claimant or their lawyers might have to pay additional fees or penalties according to the law. If you can’t afford the fees and can’t get them waived, and if the arbitration can’t go ahead without payment, SPiN will cover the filing fees for you.
f. Class Action Waiver: You and SPiN agree that the arbitrator can’t combine different claims into one or handle any group lawsuits unless you both write and agree to it after starting arbitration.
g. Limitation of Rights: By choosing arbitration, you give up the right to go to court and have a judge or jury decide your case. This means you also give up certain legal rights, like appealing the decision or discovery information
h. Severability: If any part of these arbitration terms is not allowed, only that part will be removed, and the rest will still apply. If the parts about not allowing group lawsuits are not allowed, then the whole arbitration agreement won’t apply, and a court will handle the dispute.
i. Mass Filing: If 25 or more similar arbitration requests are made against us or by us within 60 days, special rules apply:
i. Acknowledgment: If these requests count as a Mass Filing, they follow extra steps. If there’s a disagreement about whether it’s a Mass Filing, the arbitration group decides. Any legal time limits are paused until the main cases are decided.
ii. Initial Cases: Out of all the cases, 10 will be chosen (5 by each side) to go first. Only these cases will move forward at first, and only their fees need to be paid. The rest wait their turn.
iii. Global Mediation: After the first 10 cases are done, we’ll try to settle all the remaining cases together. We won’t move forward with the rest until we try to settle or the time runs out.
iv. Rules Application: If the Arbitrator (Arbitration Group) or AAA) doesn’t think it’s a Mass Filing but their rules say it is, then the arbitration Mass Filing rules apply.
j. Enforcement Rights for Terms Violation Should there be a violation of these Terms, SPiN may suffer significant harm for which monetary damages would be insufficient. Consequently, we are entitled to seek injunctive relief in a federal or state court of law, in the State of Delaware, including but not limited to immediate restraining orders and preliminary or permanent injunctions, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security. This right to seek judicial protection operates in addition to any other legal remedies SPiN may have under the circumstances for a breach of these Terms.
k. Continuation: These arbitration terms will still apply even if your agreement with SPiN ends or you stop using the Service.
15. General Provision The omission, whether deliberate or accidental, by SPiN to assert or implement any right or clause of these Terms shall not be construed as a relinquishment of such right or clause by the Company. In the event that any segment of these Terms is deemed unenforceable or invalid, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions, which shall persist in full force and effect.
16. Communication & Privacy Policy All interactions within the Service must adhere to our comprehensive Terms and Policies. We reserve the right to use the email linked to your account for sending updates, special promotions, or notices regarding any due payments. Additionally, we may reach out to you via phone to discuss matters related to the Service. Should you prefer not to receive specific emails or phone calls (this includes any mobile numbers provided), you are encouraged to consult our Privacy Policy for available options.
Revision Date: This policy was last revised May 2024.
Community Guidelines
The Game Plan
We want SPiN to be the first all sports and competitive game social network that only fosters learning, positivity, confidence and fun. It is a safe place to enjoy sports while allowing people to keep their sports memories and achievements in one place for themselves and others to use in ways to promote the wonderful world of sports and competitive games.
The X’s and O’s of How to Make it Work
SPiN is a reflection of our diverse community of cultures, ages, and beliefs and their love of sports and competitive games.
We created the Community Guidelines so you can help us foster and protect this amazing community. By using SPiN, you agree to these guidelines and our Terms of Use. We’re committed to these guidelines and we hope you are too. Overstepping these boundaries may result in deleted content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions.
· Share only photos and videos that you’ve taken or have the right to share.
As always, you own the content you post on SPiN. Remember to post authentic content, and don’t post anything you’ve copied or collected from the Internet that you don’t have the right to post.
· Post photos and videos that are appropriate for a diverse audience.
We only allow posts and content that are related to sports, competitive games and our Game Plan as described above. We don’t allow nudity on SPiN. This includes photos, videos, and some digitally-created content that show sexual intercourse, genitals, and close-ups of fully-nude buttocks. It also includes some photos of female nipples.
· Foster meaningful and genuine interactions.
You don’t have to use your real name on SPiN, but we do require SPiN users to provide us with accurate and up to date information. Don't impersonate others and don't create accounts for the purpose of violating our guidelines or misleading others.
· Follow the law. SPiN is not a place to support or praise terrorism, organized crime, or hate groups. Offering sexual services, buying or selling firearms, alcohol, and tobacco products between private individuals, and buying or selling non-medical or pharmaceutical drugs are also not allowed. We also remove content that attempts to trade, co-ordinate the trade of, donate, gift, or ask for non-medical drugs, as well as content that either admits to personal use (unless in the recovery context) or coordinates or promotes the use of non-medical drugs. SPiN also prohibits the sale of live animals between private individuals, though brick-and-mortar stores may offer these sales. No one may coordinate poaching or selling of endangered species or their parts. Remember to always follow the law when offering to sell or buy other regulated goods. Accounts promoting online gambling, online real money games of skill or online lotteries must get our prior written permission before using any of our products. We have zero tolerance when it comes to sharing sexual content involving minors or threatening to post intimate images of others.
· Respect other members of the SPiN community. We want to foster a positive, diverse community. We remove content that contains credible threats or hate speech, content that targets private individuals to degrade or shame them, personal information meant to blackmail or harass someone, and repeated unwanted messages.
It's never OK to encourage violence or attack anyone based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, disabilities, or diseases. When hate speech is being shared to challenge it or to raise awareness, we may allow it. In those instances, we ask that you express your intent clearly. Serious threats of harm to public and personal safety aren't allowed. This includes specific threats of physical harm as well as threats of theft, vandalism, and other financial harm. We carefully review reports of threats and consider many things when determining whether a threat is credible.
· Maintain our supportive environment by not glorifying self-injury. Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to this environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us. We may also remove content identifying victims or survivors of self-injury if the content targets them for attack or humor.
· Be thoughtful when posting newsworthy events.
We understand that many people use SPiN to share important and newsworthy events. Some of these issues can involve graphic images. Because so many different people and age groups use SPiN, we may remove videos of intense, graphic violence to make sure SPiN stays appropriate for everyone.
We understand that people often share this kind of content to condemn, raise awareness or educate. If you do share content for these reasons, we encourage you to caption your photo with a warning about graphic violence. Sharing graphic images for sadistic pleasure or to glorify violence is never allowed.
Help us keep the community strong:
· Each of us is an important part of the SPiN community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by using our self-reporting option. We will review these reports and work as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. Even if you or someone you know doesn’t have an SPiN account, you can still file a report. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines.
· You may find content you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Community Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or disconnect with the person who posted it.
· We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
Thank you for helping us create the best sports and competitive game community in the world,
The SPiN Team

Encouraging or urging people to embrace self-injury is counter to this environment of support, and we’ll remove it or disable accounts if it’s reported to us. We may also remove content identifying victims or survivors of self-injury if the content targets them for attack or humor.
· Be thoughtful when posting newsworthy events.
We understand that many people use SPiN to share important and newsworthy events. Some of these issues can involve graphic images. Because so many different people and age groups use SPiN, we may remove videos of intense, graphic violence to make sure SPiN stays appropriate for everyone.
We understand that people often share this kind of content to condemn, raise awareness or educate. If you do share content for these reasons, we encourage you to caption your photo with a warning about graphic violence. Sharing graphic images for sadistic pleasure or to glorify violence is never allowed. This type of content is not permitted in the Chat function.
Help us keep the community strong:
· Each of us is an important part of the SPiN community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by using our self-reporting option. We will review these reports and work as quickly as possible to remove content that doesn’t meet our guidelines. Even if you or someone you know doesn’t have an SPiN account, you can still file a report. When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible, such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content, so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire chats or threads, if either the imagery language violates our chat guidelines.
· You may find “chatting” with a member you don’t like, but doesn’t violate the Chat Guidelines. If that happens, you can unfollow or block the person who is chatting with you and they will lose the ability to chat with you.
· We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
Thank you for helping us create the best sports and competitive game community in the world,
The SPiN Team
