1. About Sponora
Sponora provides a technology marketplace that helps teams and businesses discover one another, communicate, arrange sponsorships, process payments, and report activity. Sponora does not operate participating organizations and does not guarantee any user's conduct, performance, attendance, reach, or results.
2. Eligibility and authority
You must be at least 18 and legally able to enter an agreement. If you act for an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it. Adults managing youth teams are responsible for required parent, guardian, league, and organizational permissions.
3. Accounts
- Provide accurate, current information and keep it updated.
- Protect your password and report suspected unauthorized access.
- Do not impersonate or claim an organization without authority.
- We may request verification or restrict features while information is reviewed.
4. Sponsorships
Users supply packages, offers, benefits, schedules, attendance estimates, and reports. A request is not a completed sponsorship until accepted and any required payment succeeds. The team and business are responsible for the agreed benefits, dates, approvals, and separate contract. A separate agreement controls commercial obligations between those parties; these terms still govern use of Sponora.
5. Payments and payouts
Stripe processes payments and connected-account payouts under its own terms. You authorize Sponora and its provider to process displayed amounts, fees, taxes, refunds, reversals, and chargebacks. Provider identity checks, reserves, restrictions, and payout timing may apply. Teams must provide accurate payout and tax information; businesses must be authorized to use their payment method.
6. Cancellations and refunds
Our Cancellation Policy and Refund Policy are part of these terms. Canceling an unpaid request does not cancel or refund a completed payment.
7. Content and publicity
You retain ownership of your content and grant Sponora a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, resize, display, and distribute it to operate and promote the service and relevant sponsorship. You confirm you have permission to use all uploaded logos, photos, names, and materials, including appropriate releases for images of minors.
8. Acceptable use
Do not use Sponora to violate law; deceive, threaten, or harass; upload malware; scrape or reverse-engineer the service; bypass access controls; manipulate metrics; infringe rights; or promote illegal, hateful, violent, adult, or unsafe activity.
9. Ownership
Sponora's software, design, trademarks, logos, mascots, and original content belong to Sponora or its licensors. No right to use them is granted beyond ordinary authorized use of the service.
10. Suspension and service changes
We may change or discontinue features and may restrict accounts for violations, fraud, security concerns, legal requirements, nonpayment, or risk to users. Ending use does not remove outstanding sponsorship, payment, refund, or recordkeeping obligations.
11. Disclaimers and liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not warrant uninterrupted operation, user-supplied information, sponsorship results, impressions, attendance, sales, tax treatment, or deductibility. Sponora will not be liable for indirect, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost profit, lost data, reputational harm, or user disputes. Aggregate liability will not exceed the greater of $100 or platform fees you paid during the preceding 12 months. Local law may limit this section.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify Sponora against claims and reasonable costs arising from your content, organization, sponsorship performance, legal violations, or breach of these terms or another person's rights.
13. Privacy and communications
Our Privacy Policy explains our data practices. You consent to necessary account, security, payment, sponsorship, and legal communications. Promotional communications may be declined.
14. Disputes and changes
Contact us and allow 30 days for informal resolution before filing a claim. These terms are governed by applicable United States law and the law of the state in which Sponora is established, excluding conflict rules. Claims must be brought in a court with jurisdiction over Sponora unless consumer law requires otherwise. We may revise these terms by posting a new effective date and giving additional notice when appropriate.
