TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
Welcome to Total Global Sports (“TGS”, “we”, “our”, or “us”). You are
currently using the TOTALGLOBALSPORTS.COM web site (the “Site”). We
maintain this Site as a service to our visitors and customers (“you” or “yours”). By using
the TGS services and the TGS software described below, you are agreeing to
comply with and be bound by the following terms of use. Please review the
following terms carefully.
1. Acceptance of Agreement.
You agree to the terms and conditions outlined in
this Terms of Use Agreement, together with any documents expressly incorporated
by reference (collectively the “Agreement”) with respect to the Site and your
use of TGS’ event management software (the
“Software”). This Agreement governs your access to and use of the Site,
including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through the
Site, whether as a guest or as a registered user. This Agreement constitutes the entire and
only agreement between TGS and you related to your use of the Software, and
supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties
and understandings with respect to the Software, the TGS site, the content,
products or Services provided by or through the Site, and the subject matter of
this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended at any time by us from time to
time in our sole discretion without specific notice to you. The latest
Agreement will be posted on the TGS Site, and you should review this Agreement
prior to using the TGS Site. All changes to this Agreement are effective
immediately when we post them on the TGS Site.
If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement (or any applicable
terms) and to abide by all applicable laws, you are not authorized to use the
Software and the applicable TGS services and should discontinue use. Your continued use of the TGS Site following
the posting of revised terms and conditions means that you accept and agree to
the changes. You are expected to check
this page from time to time so you are aware of any changes as they are binding
on you.
2. Use of
Site and Software; Payment
You understand that the Software provides youth
and amateur event management services including services for the management of
sports tournaments, leagues, clubs, players, colleges and travel accommodations
(the “Services”).
In using our Software, you agree to pay TGS all applicable fees and
taxes. The Services may only be used as authorized, and commercial use is
restricted.
All payments, whether transacted through this Site,
through a third party’s web site, or through any other means, are governed by
this Agreement. Additional terms and
conditions may also apply to specific portions, services, or features of this
Site and are incorporate herein by this reference. All payments to TGS for the Services or for
use of the Software for your Account, as defined
herein, must be made using means of payment that we may approve from time to
time. We currently require payments to
be made by major credit card. You
authorize us to charge such credit card for all purchased Services for all
subscription terms and any renewal subscription term(s) as set forth in this
Agreement. All payments must be made
from a payment source on which you are the named Account holder. All payments are not refundable, for any
reason.
You will be charged in arrears for the Services
at the end of each billing period ("Billing Date"). If we do not
receive the full amount of your Service Fees within 15 days of the Billing
Date, a late payment charge of 1.5% per month may be added to your bill and
immediately become due and payable. You agree to pay us all reasonable
attorney's fees and costs incurred by us to collect any past due amounts. Your
account will be deactivated without further notice if payment is past due,
regardless of the dollar amount. You agree to pay any outstanding balance in
full within 30 days of cancellation or termination of the Services. We may
change our fee structure at any time with thirty (30) days’ notice. You agree
that we will not be liable for any loss caused by any unauthorized use of your
credit card or any other method of payment by a third party in connection with
the Site. You waive your right to dispute any payment made into your Account
and you will bear all costs. Any attempt to defraud the Site through the use of
credit cards or other methods of payment, or any failure by you to honor
charges or requests for payment will result in immediate termination of your
Account and civil and/or criminal prosecution.
TGS may use third party electronic payment
processors and/or financial institutions ("ESPs") to process
financial transactions. You irrevocably authorize us, as necessary, to instruct
such ESPs to handle such transaction and you irrevocably agree that TGS may give
such instructions on your behalf in accordance with your requests as submitted
on the Site. You agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of use of each
applicable ESP, and in the event or conflict between this Agreement and the
ESP's terms and conditions then this Agreement shall prevail.
To provide continuous service, TGS automatically
renews all paid and upgraded subscriptions upon expiration and upon upgrade.
Such renewals are generally for the same duration as the original subscription
term (for example, a 1-month subscription will renew on a monthly basis, a
3-month subscription will renew on a 3-month basis, and so on). By using the
Site, you acknowledge that your Account will be subject to the above-described
automatic renewals. If you do not want
your subscription to automatically renew, you must provide TGS with written
notice of your intent not to renew your subscription at least thirty (30) days
prior to the end of the then-current subscription term. TGS reserves the right to change the prices
of TGS’ services at any time in its sole discretion.

continue to appear and be used indefinitely.
