Terms of Service

What this document is

These terms are the agreement between the parent or legal guardian who holds a Homefield Coach account and Homefield Coach. By creating an account, the parent agrees to these terms. If they do not agree, they should not create the account.

What Homefield Coach collects, and how it is used, is in the Privacy Policy rather than here.

Who can use Homefield Coach

• Homefield Coach is used by children. A parent or legal guardian holds the account. Children do not sign up.
• The parent must be 18 or older, and must have the legal authority to consent to the child's use.
• Homefield Coach is designed for children aged 8 to 16.

The account

• The parent is responsible for the account credentials and for anything done under the account.
• A parent may add up to a number of child profiles per plan (see Pricing).
• The account can be deleted from inside the app at any time. Deletion removes the parent account and every child profile under it.

Subscriptions and payment

• Everything in Homefield Coach is free while it is being finished. Nothing is charged, and no trial clock runs.
• Before any subscription is offered, the app will show the price, how often it renews, and how to cancel — before the parent pays — and send a confirmation with the cancel steps. A yearly plan gets a reminder before it renews.
• Payment is processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Play Store), under their terms. Homefield Coach does not see card details.
• The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period. It can be cancelled at any time through the app store.
• Prices are shown in the app store before purchase.

Refunds

Refunds are processed under the app store's refund policy. Homefield Coach does not process refunds directly.

Where we can advocate for a refund on the parent's behalf, we will. Contact support@homefieldcoach.com.

What Homefield Coach does and does not promise

• Homefield Coach provides coaching content and camera-based practice analysis. It is not medical, physiotherapy, or injury-screening advice. A score is not a health claim.
• The drills are parent-monitored practice content, not a certified coach's prescription.
• A number from a tryout is an automated estimate made from video. It is not a rating of a child's talent or athletic ability, and not a result of any team's tryout. A session a parent logs is the parent's record, and the app labels which is which.
• Homefield Coach does not guarantee that a child will improve at their sport, make a team, or reach any specific level of play.
• Homefield Coach does not guarantee that the app will be available at all times, that scores will be perfectly accurate, or that features will remain unchanged.

Who runs a practice session

Before the first player is set up, the app asks the parent to read and confirm the same points. They are an acknowledgment of how practice works, not a waiver: they give up none of a child's rights or a parent's.

• The parent chooses each session and supervises it. The app is not there, and it is not the child's coach.
• Sport involves falls, balls, bats, racquets, bikes, water and the ground. A drill that carries a safety note needs the adult that note names, actually present.
• The parent confirms the child is fit for ordinary play, and asks the child's doctor first if unsure. The app gives no medical advice.
• Pain, dizziness, any knock to the head, signs of heat illness, or fear stop the session. A knock to the head ends the day, and the app never clears a child to play again — a doctor does. In an emergency, call 911.
• Team practices and games count toward pitching, bowling and heading limits, and the parent is the one who logs them.

What a parent agrees not to do

• Not use the app in a way that could harm the child — for example, pushing a child past age-appropriate activity levels.
• Not attempt to reverse-engineer, tamper with, or interfere with the app or its infrastructure.
• Not upload content of anyone other than their own child.
• Not use the app to impersonate another person or misrepresent a child's identity or age.

Intellectual property

Homefield Coach and its content — the app, the drills, the coaching structure, the Player Card design — belong to Homefield Coach. Practice video uploaded by a parent belongs to that parent; Homefield Coach uses it only to provide the service.

A Player Card is generated for the parent to share as they wish, with the child's first name, badge and sports on it, and no age.

If something goes wrong

Homefield Coach is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, Homefield Coach is not liable for indirect or consequential loss.

Where a law protects a consumer or a child in a way that cannot be waived by contract, that law applies regardless of what this document says.

Governing law

[LAWYER TO SPECIFY.] The founder is based in Texas, and Homefield Coach is offered in the United States only. Choice-of-law and jurisdiction clauses need specific drafting.

Changes to these terms

When these terms change, the version and date at the top change with them. A material change is notified in the app and by email to the account holder, and continued use after the notice period is acceptance.
