Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using StatDek ("the Service"), a tournament bracket and event management tool, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

StatDek lets a tournament director create and run single-elimination, double-elimination, and Swiss-format tournaments, assign courts, record match results, and share a live spectator view and results page with participants and spectators. Anyone with a tournament's Passkey ID can view its live status, bracket, standings, and results — no account or login is required to view tournament data.

3. No Account Required

StatDek does not require you to create a username, password, or profile. When you start a new tournament, the Service creates an anonymous, device-linked session used solely to determine who is allowed to manage that tournament. This session is not tied to your name, email, or any other personal identifier.

4. Your Responsibilities

• You are responsible for the accuracy of information you enter, including tournament names, player/team names, and venue names.
• You agree not to enter unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate content into any field of the Service.
• You are responsible for safeguarding the browser/device your director session is tied to. Because there is no password-based recovery, losing access to that browser session may mean losing the ability to manage a tournament you created.
• You should not enter sensitive personal information (e.g. home addresses, phone numbers, government ID numbers) into any field, since tournament data is publicly viewable by design (see Section 5).

5. Public Nature of Tournament Data

Tournament names, player/team names, match results, standings, and venue assignments entered by a director are publicly viewable by anyone who has the tournament's Passkey ID or spectator/results link. Do not use the Service for private or confidential events unless you are comfortable with that data being visible to anyone with the link.

6. Service Availability

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we are not responsible for lost data, missed matches, or scheduling issues resulting from downtime, connectivity problems, or errors in the Service.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, StatDek and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to disputes arising from tournament outcomes, data loss, or service interruptions.

8. Changes to the Service or These Terms

We may update these Terms or modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

9. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.
