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.
