Welcome to NextPlay. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Xphere LLC, a Maryland limited liability company doing business as NextPlay ("NextPlay," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of the NextPlay website, native iOS and Android applications, services, and applications (collectively, the "Service"). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service.
By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.
Optional map search and destination links use Google Maps. By using these features, you agree to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service. Google handles its services under the Google Privacy Policy. Coaches are responsible for checking that an attachment points to their intended venue.
1. Description of Service
2. Eligibility
3. User Accounts & Access
4. AI-Powered Statistics Extraction
The Service includes features that use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to extract statistics from images (such as scorecards, box scores, or rosters), transcribe audio (such as voice notes or live reporting), generate coaching insights, generate player highlights, and generate avatar images.
- Accuracy Disclaimer: You acknowledge that AI technology is not perfect. NextPlay does not guarantee the 100% accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any data extracted automatically.
- User Responsibility: You are solely responsible for reviewing, verifying, and correcting any data generated by the Service before relying on it or sharing it.
- Use of Your Inputs: Your audio, image, video, and data inputs are processed to provide the Service feature you requested — extraction, transcription, avatar generation, insights, and highlights — and are sent to the AI and transcription providers identified in the Privacy Policy for that purpose. Xphere LLC does not train or refine any AI model on your content, and we do not sell or license your content as training data. Those providers process your content under their own service terms and our account configuration with them; we do not warrant the internal practices of any third-party provider.
5. User Content and Conduct
"User Content" refers to any images, video, audio, data, captions, reactions, text, or other materials you upload or post to the Service.
- Ownership: You retain all ownership rights in your User Content.
- License: By uploading User Content, you grant NextPlay a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, store, reproduce, and process your content to provide the Service, including the processing described in the Privacy Policy. This license does not allow us to train or fine-tune AI models on your content.
- Prohibited Content: You agree not to upload content that is illegal, harmful, offensive, or violates the privacy or intellectual property rights of others.
- Impersonation and Profile Claims: The Service allows users to claim player profiles. You may only claim profiles that belong to you or a minor for whom you are the legal guardian. Falsely claiming another individual's profile or impersonating another user is strictly prohibited and grounds for enforcement.
- Community Standards: Our Community Standards describe prohibited harassment, hate or discrimination, sexual or inappropriate content, child-safety risks, threats or violence, privacy violations, impersonation, copyright infringement, spam or fraud, and other harmful conduct.
- Reporting and Blocking: You may report supported content through the Service. You must not abuse reporting or blocking tools, submit knowingly false reports, or use them to harass another person.
- Following Players: You may request to follow a player profile only to follow that player's games and statistics. The profile owner decides whether to approve, decline, remove, or block you, and does not have to give a reason. You must not use following to monitor, track, locate, contact, or pressure a player, or to learn when and where a player will be. You must not use another person's follow code or link without their permission, or post a code or link where you do not have the owner's permission to share it. You must not guess, collect, trade, or try to work out follow codes. You must not send repeated or bulk requests, or create or use another account to request again after a decline, removal, or block. Do not share or republish what you see as a follower, including a player's schedule or game locations, beyond what the owner would expect. We may limit requests, end follows, and take the actions in Section 7 for misuse.
6. Privacy and Player Data
NextPlay offers features designed to protect player privacy, including the use of pseudonyms and avatars for publicly shared games.
- Consent: If you upload or enter player statistics, game data, names, photos, recordings, media, or other player-related content, including in a pickup game, you represent that you have obtained all necessary consents from players (or their parents/guardians, if under 13) to provide that information to the Service.
- Visibility: You control the visibility of your games (Private, Unlisted, or Public) and player profiles (Private, Code, or Team) where those controls are available to you. Game photos and videos follow the game's visibility. Teams are shared with a share code or link. You are responsible for the settings you choose and the implications for player privacy. A player profile set to Team visibility may show that profile's display name on public team pages.
- Followers: If you own a player profile, you decide who follows it. Approving a follower lets them see that profile's display name and avatar, the names of your current teams, and your public and unlisted games on those teams, including when and where they are played, with your statistics from those games, as described in the Privacy Policy. Approve only people you are comfortable sharing that with. You can remove a follower at any time, but removal cannot undo what they already saw. Guardian Profiles and profiles linked to a player marked under 13 cannot be followed.
7. Moderation, Enforcement, and Appeals
NextPlay may use automated safeguards and authorized human moderators to review reports, restrict visibility, quarantine or remove content, and enforce these Terms and the Community Standards. The reporter's identity is not disclosed to the reported user.
- Actions: Depending on severity, context, history, and safety or legal obligations, NextPlay may dismiss a report, warn a user, remove specific content, restrict interactions or account access for 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days, or permanently ban an account.
- Notice: Where appropriate, NextPlay will notify the affected user of an action without identifying the reporter.
- Appeals: An affected user may submit one appeal per action, except for abusive duplicate submissions. Child-exploitation and credible-safety matters may be internally non-appealable and legally escalated.
- Records: NextPlay may preserve limited report, evidence, action, and appeal records needed for safety, review, ban-evasion prevention, legal compliance, and auditability.
- Response targets: We aim to provide immediate automated acknowledgment of submitted reports, escalate child-safety or credible imminent-harm reports for priority review within four hours, complete standard initial human review within 24 hours, and complete initial appeal review within seven days. These are review targets, not guaranteed response times. Actual timing may vary based on report volume, complexity, available information, and urgent safety or legal needs. Meeting a target does not guarantee a particular review or enforcement outcome.
8. Payments and Subscriptions
Coach Pro provides unlimited game creation per team. You can subscribe through the iOS App Store or Google Play. One active subscription grants the same Coach Pro access when you sign in to your NextPlay account on another platform. Monthly and annual store prices, trial eligibility, renewal terms, and applicable taxes are shown by the store before you confirm a purchase.
- Store billing: Apple or Google processes purchases made in its app store under its own subscription and refund terms. Manage or cancel a store subscription in the store where you bought it. Deleting your NextPlay account does not cancel store auto-renewal.
- Account deletion: Deleting an account ends NextPlay access immediately. Store subscriptions must be canceled separately with Apple or Google. No automatic prorated refund is issued except where required by law. Account deletion is available in the iOS and Android apps, or by contacting support@nextplay.team from the website.
9. Intellectual Property
10. Limitation of Liability
11. Disclaimers
12. Temporary Pickup Games
Pickup games let you keep score and stats for a basketball game in your browser. By continuing past the notice shown when you start one, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
- Not saved: A pickup game exists only in your open browser tab. Refreshing or closing the tab, or leaving the page, ends it. NextPlay does not save, recover, share, or export pickup games, and a pickup game cannot be moved into an account. NextPlay is not responsible for a pickup game that is lost.
- Eligibility and access: You must be at least 13 to use pickup games, as described in Section 2. Pickup games may be offered without an account for a limited time. We may later require an account, change usage limits, or discontinue the feature.
- Other people's information: Enter names, take photos, and record voices only of people who have agreed, or whose parent or guardian has agreed if they are under 13. Photograph jerseys rather than faces, and avoid capturing bystanders.
- AI processing: Photos and voice in pickup games are processed by the providers in the Privacy Policy, which may retain them under their own terms. Section 4, including its accuracy disclaimer, applies: review proposed players and plays before applying them.
- Fair use: Do not use pickup games to overload, scrape, or circumvent the Service's usage limits, or to process content unrelated to a game.
Termination
We may suspend, restrict, or terminate an account for violations, safety risks, legal obligations, or other legitimate reasons. Notice and appeal availability depend on the action and the safety and legal exceptions described above.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" or through the Service. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
The Service is operated by Xphere LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, xphere.org.
