2. Data Ownership and Intellectual Property Rights

  • Proprietary System Ownership: The Service, its underlying algorithms, structural user interfaces, proprietary grading mechanisms (such as the E3 effort-scale scoring models), logos, trade names, and trademarks (including E3, E3 Futbol, and American Futbolista) are the exclusive intellectual property of American Futbolista.
  • Data Assignment: By entering, logging, or uploading any team rosters, attendance registers, player names, effort ratings, match statistics, or qualitative performance notes (“User Content”) onto the Platform, you hereby irrevocably assign all right, title, and interest in and to such User Content to American Futbolista.
  • Platform Insights Ownership: You acknowledge and agree that all analytical outputs, aggregated player/team dashboards, historical trend reports, scorecards, and predictive metrics generated by the software's algorithms (collectively, “Platform Insights”) are the sole and exclusive property of American Futbolista. Your access to the Service provides you only with a temporary, revocable license to view these Insights; it does not transfer any ownership, copyright, or proprietary rights to the underlying data sets.

3. Acceptable Use and User Conduct

The E3 Platform is designed to drive objective, transparent, and encouraging development in youth soccer. All Users agree to adhere to a strict code of conduct. You shall not perform the following:

  • Metric Tampering: Falsify or deliberately manipulate attendance records, effort ratings, or match stats for the purpose of misleading parents, players, or administrative staff.
  • Safeguarding Violations: Utilize the Platform's communication or notes features to attempt to establish unauthorized, unmonitored, or non-transparent messaging pathways with minor athletes.
  • Reverse Engineering: Attempt to copy, modify, decompile, reverse-engineer, extract, or exploit the source code of the E3 Platform, or scrape data from the Service using automated bots, crawlers, or algorithms.

4. Payment, Fees, and Subscriptions

If you are purchasing a club, team, or individual subscription tier for the E3 Platform:

  • Billing and Payment: You agree to provide valid, up-to-date payment information. You authorize us to charge the designated payment method on a recurring cycle (monthly or annually) according to your selected plan.
  • Non-Refundability: All subscription fees paid are non-refundable except as explicitly required by local consumer protection statutes.
  • Late Payment & Suspension: Failure to settle fees within five (5) business days of the billing date will result in the immediate suspension of Platform access for your coaches, administrators, and linked parent profiles.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO AMERICAN FUTBOLISTA IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.

7. Termination of Service

We reserve the absolute right to suspend, disable, or permanently terminate your account and block your access to the Service at our sole discretion, without prior notice, if we determine that you have violated these Terms, compromised the security of the Platform, or engaged in conduct detrimental to the positive development of youth soccer. Upon termination, your right to use the Service immediately ceases, but our ownership of previously logged metrics and Platform Insights remains intact.
