Big Shoota Plays
Terms of Service
Draft — attorney review required before publication. This is a working draft reflecting Big Shoota Plays' current model and must be reviewed by a licensed attorney before going live.
This document reflects Big Shoota Plays' current product and business model. It is a template subject to review by a licensed attorney in your state, particularly given sports-wagering-adjacent content and multi-state/international access.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding legal agreement between you ("User," "Subscriber," or "you") and Big Shoota Plays, a limited liability company ("BigShoota," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at bigshootaplays.com, together with all related content, features, notifications, and services (collectively, the "Service").
By creating an account, checking a box indicating acceptance, subscribing to a paid plan, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.
If you are accessing the Service on behalf of an entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
2. Nature of the Service — Please Read Carefully
BigShoota provides subscription access to sports betting analysis, commentary, and picks ("Plays") covering leagues including but not limited to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, and NCAAB. Each Play may include a suggested bet type, odds, a unit-sizing recommendation, and written analysis.
2.1 Entertainment and Informational Purposes Only
THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ALL PLAYS, ANALYSIS, STATISTICS, AND COMMENTARY, IS PROVIDED SOLELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES. Nothing on the Service constitutes, and should not be construed as, professional betting advice, financial advice, investment advice, or a guarantee or assurance of any outcome. PAST PERFORMANCE OF ANY PLAY, HANDICAPPER, OR STRATEGY DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR PREDICT FUTURE RESULTS.
2.2 We Are Not a Sportsbook, Broker, or Wagering Facilitator
BigShoota does not accept wagers, hold funds for wagering purposes, or facilitate betting transactions of any kind. We do not operate as a bookmaker, betting exchange, broker-dealer, or money services business. Any decision to place a wager based on information obtained through the Service is made entirely independently by you, through a third-party sportsbook or platform of your own choosing, and at your sole discretion and risk.
2.3 Eligibility, Age, and Jurisdictional Compliance
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, if higher) to create an account or subscribe to the Service. Sports wagering is regulated at the state, provincial, and national level, and its legality varies by jurisdiction. It is solely your responsibility to determine whether accessing sports betting information, and whether placing wagers, is lawful in your specific location, and to comply with all applicable laws. BigShoota makes no representation that the Service, or wagering on any Play, is appropriate or legal in any particular jurisdiction.
2.4 Responsible Gambling
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available. In the United States, contact the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-522-4700 or ncpgambling.org, available 24/7. BigShoota encourages all users to wager only what they can afford to lose and to treat sports betting as entertainment, not as a source of income.
3. Accounts
3.1 Registration
To access paid features of the Service, you must register for an account by providing a valid email address and a password, and by completing subscription checkout through our third-party payment processor. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep it up to date.
3.2 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately at the contact address below of any unauthorized use of your account. BigShoota is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your credentials.
3.3 One Account Per Subscriber
Accounts are personal to the Subscriber and may not be shared, resold, or transferred. We reserve the right to suspend accounts reasonably suspected of being shared across multiple individuals.
4. Subscription Plans, Billing, and Payment
4.1 Current Plan
BigShoota currently offers a single subscription plan, "Sports Bets," priced at $29.99 per month (plus any applicable taxes), granting access to all sports Plays posted during an active billing period. BigShoota may introduce additional plans or tiers (including a potential stock-options-related tier) in the future; any such plan will be governed by these Terms and by pricing disclosed at the time of purchase.
4.2 Billing and Auto-Renewal
Subscriptions are billed monthly in advance through our payment processor, Stripe, and automatically renew each billing period unless canceled prior to the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize BigShoota, through Stripe, to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.
4.3 No Refunds
ALL SUBSCRIPTION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, including for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable law. If you cancel, you will retain access to the Service through the end of your then-current paid billing period, and no further charges will be made.
4.4 Failed Payments
If a payment fails, your subscription will be marked past due and your access to Plays may be suspended until the outstanding balance is resolved. We may retry failed payments and may terminate a past-due subscription after a reasonable period of continued non-payment.
4.5 Price Changes
We may change subscription pricing prospectively. We will provide notice of any price increase before it applies to your account, and the change will take effect no earlier than your next renewal following such notice.
4.6 Cancellation
You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings or the Stripe billing portal. Cancellation stops future renewals; it does not entitle you to a refund for the current period.
5. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on third-party providers to operate, including but not limited to: Stripe, Inc. (payment processing and billing), Resend (transactional and notification email delivery), messaging and push notification infrastructure (e.g., Telegram, and browser push services operated by Google, Mozilla, Apple), and cloud hosting and database infrastructure providers (e.g., Vercel, Neon). Your use of the Service is also subject to the applicable terms and privacy policies of these third parties where you interact with them directly (for example, when entering payment card details on Stripe's hosted checkout page). BigShoota does not control and is not responsible for the acts, omissions, availability, or security practices of these third parties.
6. Notifications
By subscribing, you consent to receive alerts and notifications related to newly posted Plays, results, billing events, and account activity, delivered through channels such as Telegram messages, transactional emails, and in-app notifications. You may manage or disable optional notification channels through your account or the relevant messaging app, subject to certain administrative or billing communications that we may need to send regardless of preference (e.g., payment failure notices).
7. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, state, national, or international law, including wagering laws in your jurisdiction;
- Scrape, harvest, republish, redistribute, resell, or commercially exploit any Play, analysis, or other content from the Service without our prior written consent;
- Share your account credentials or Play content with non-subscribers;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, our systems, or other users' accounts;
- Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service, including through automated scraping, denial-of-service activity, or reverse engineering;
- Use the Service to transmit any harmful code, or to harass, defraud, or mislead any person.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Section 7, in our reasonable discretion.
8. Intellectual Property
All content made available through the Service, including Plays, analysis, text, graphics, logos, and the underlying software, is owned by Big Shoota Plays or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and view Play content for your personal, non-commercial use during your active subscription. No other rights are granted.
9. Disclaimers of Warranties
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PLAY WILL RESULT IN A WINNING WAGER, THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES, OR THAT NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE DELIVERED WITHOUT DELAY OR FAILURE. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SPORTS WAGERING INVOLVES INHERENT RISK OF FINANCIAL LOSS, AND THAT YOU ASSUME ALL SUCH RISK.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL BIGSHOOTA LLC, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF WAGERED FUNDS, PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON ANY PLAY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO BIGSHOOTA IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Big Shoota Plays and its owners, officers, employees, and contractors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Service; (b) any wager you place based on information obtained through the Service; (c) your violation of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.
12. Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause or notice, including for suspected violation of these Terms, non-payment, or fraudulent or abusive activity. You may terminate your account at any time as described in Section 4.6. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 4.3, 8–11, 13, and 15) will survive.
13. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
13.1 Informal Resolution
Before filing a claim against BigShoota, you agree to first contact us at the email address below and attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.
13.2 Binding Arbitration
If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and BigShoota agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by American Arbitration Association (AAA), rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
13.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND BIGSHOOTA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
13.4 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent preempted by the Federal Arbitration Act.
14. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may update these Terms from time to time; if we make material changes, we will provide notice (for example, by email or an in-app notice) before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those Terms.
15. General Provisions
15.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and BigShoota regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.
15.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
15.3 No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
15.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
