Sideline Legends

Terms & Conditions

Last updated: May 27, 2025
Welcome to Sideline Legends—where the coffee is strong, the cheers are louder than the refs, and the snack-bar pizza is (usually) edible. Before you binge our rants, memes, and mildly useful advice, please read these Terms of Service (“Terms”). By hanging around, you agree to everything below. If anything here gives you indigestion, that’s cool—just close the tab and we’ll still be friends.

1. Who We Are (and Why You’re Here)
Sideline Legends, LLC (“Sideline Legends,” “we,” “us”) is a Massachusetts-based digital platform dedicated to celebrating, supporting, and occasionally roasting youth-sports culture. We publish articles, videos, social posts, and Weekly Sideline Rants crowdsourced from parents like you. Entertainment is our game; inspiration (and the odd affiliate sale) is a welcomed bonus.

2. Your Playbook (User Agreement)
By accessing sidelinelegends.com (the “Site”), you agree to:
Personal use only. Don’t scrape, re-sell, or re-package our content for your own store, blog, or AI training set.
Play nice. Keep comments respectful; the golden rule beats trolling every time.
No copyright fouls. Post only content you own or have permission to share.
Follow the refs. If you violate these Terms—or act like That One Loud Parent—we may block or remove you faster than a linesman’s off-side flag.

3. Affiliate Links & Sponsored Stuff
We participate in programs such as Amazon Associates, ShareASale, and other affiliate networks.
If you click a link and buy a product, we might earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
Sponsored posts or gifted gear are clearly disclosed. We recommend only products we’d bring to the field (or at least re-gift without shame).

4. Intellectual Property (IP) Rights
Everything on the Site—copy, logos, photos, “Sideline Bingo,” the works—is protected by U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws. You’re welcome to quote a short snippet with a link back, but full reposts, AI scraping, or “inspired” recreations are a no-go without written permission.

5. User-Generated Content (UGC)
By submitting comments, stories, images, or videos (“UGC”) you:
Own what you post. You’re responsible for ensuring it doesn’t violate anyone else’s rights.
Give us a license. You grant Sideline Legends a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, edit, display, and share your UGC in any media—credit given, of course.
Keep it PG-13. No hate speech, graphic violence, or illegal content. We’re a sideline, not a fight club.

6. Disclaimers (a.k.a. Don’t Sue the Snack-Mom)
Sideline Legends provides content “as is” without warranties of any kind. We’re not lawyers, doctors, or child psychologists—just parents with Wi-Fi. Any advice you follow is at your own risk. Consult a real professional for serious stuff.

7. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Sideline Legends and its affiliates shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability to you will not exceed USD 100 (about the cost of one tournament weekend’s concessions).

8. Third-Party Links
We occasionally link to other websites. Clicking them is your call; we don’t control, endorse, or guarantee their content. Browse responsibly.

9. Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify Sideline Legends against any claims, losses, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site.

10. Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access—without notice—if you violate these Terms, spam our community, or otherwise act like the bleacher police don’t apply to you.

11. Governing Law & Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA. Any disputes will be heard exclusively in the state or federal courts of Essex County, MA. Bring your warm jacket; it’s chilly up here.

12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms whenever:
Laws change
We launch new features
Our lawyer yells at us
We’ll post the new version and tweak the “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Site means you accept the new Terms.

13. Contact Us
Questions, concerns, or a killer snack-bar recipe? Reach out:
Coach Pigeon

We’ll reply within one business day—unless we’re stuck in weekend tournament traffic.

Thanks for reading all the fine print. Now grab your folding chair, cheer like a legend, and remember: hydrate, don’t berate.
