Terms of Service — ShotGroup

1.Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding contract between you and Scrypster LLC, a Pennsylvania limited liability company (“Scrypster LLC,” “ShotGroup,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), the maker of the ShotGroup software platform. They govern your access to and use of our websites, applications (including shotgroup.app, the ShotKeeper scoring app, and shotgroupplatform.com), and related services (the “Services”).

By creating an account, clicking “I agree” (or a similar button), or otherwise accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you are using the Services on behalf of a business or organization (an “Operator”), you represent that you are authorized to bind it, and “you” includes that entity. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

Please read Section 16 (Dispute Resolution) carefully. It requires you and Scrypster LLC to resolve disputes through binding individual arbitration, and it waives your right to a jury trial and your right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days as described in Section 16.

2.Eligibility & minors

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Services. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, or of a club or organization acting under parental authority, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use.

Transactional and age-restricted features — including making payments, entering bookings or memberships, and any firearms-related feature we may later offer — require you to be at least 18 years old (or older where the law or an Operator requires). Where a junior competitor participates, a parent, guardian, or club must create the account or authorize the registration and accept these Terms. You represent that the information you provide is accurate and that you are legally permitted to use the Services.

3.What ShotGroup is — and is not

ShotGroup is a neutral software tool. It helps ranges, clubs, instructors, and shooters track and coordinate things — bookings, memberships, staff schedules, match registrations, scoring, results, and records. That is all it is.

You expressly acknowledge and agree that Scrypster LLC is not, and does not act as, any of the following:

a shooting range, gun club, training facility, or the operator, owner, or occupier of any premises;
a range safety officer (RSO), firearms instructor, coach, match director, or event host;
a federal firearms licensee (FFL), dealer, manufacturer, importer, or seller of firearms, ammunition, or any regulated product;
a merchant, merchant of record, or seller of the goods or services that Operators offer through the Services; or
a party to any booking, membership, class, match, sale, transfer, waiver, or other transaction or agreement between an Operator and its members, students, customers, or participants (“End Users”), or between any users.

ShotGroup does not own or control any range or facility, is not present at any facility or event, does not conduct or supervise any physical activity, and does not select, endorse, or vouch for any Operator, End User, product, or transaction. All such activities and transactions are between the Operators and their End Users, who are solely responsible for them.

In plain English: we make the software that ranges and clubs use to run their business and their matches. We are not the range, we are not running the match, and we are not selling you anything that happens there. The range or club is. (These notes help you read the Terms; they are not part of the contract.)

4.Your account

You are responsible for your account and for keeping your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@shotgroup.io of any unauthorized use. We may suspend or terminate accounts as described in Section 15.

5.Operator responsibilities & compliance

If you use the Services as an Operator, you are solely responsible for your business and your legal compliance, including:

the safe operation and supervision of your range, facility, classes, and events, and the condition of your premises;
obtaining and maintaining your own liability waivers, releases, and assumption-of-risk agreements from your End Users — the Services may help you collect and store waivers, but we do not draft, review, or guarantee the legal sufficiency or enforceability of any waiver, and we are not a party to or beneficiary of it;
compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws — including, where relevant, firearms laws, licensing, background checks (NICS), Form 4473 and recordkeeping, age and eligibility verification, waiting periods, and tax collection and remittance;
your relationship with, and obligations to, your End Users, including delivering the goods and services you sell, honoring your own pricing, cancellation, and refund policies, and handling End-User disputes; and
the accuracy of the content, results, prices, and information you publish through the Services.

ShotGroup does not verify any Operator’s or user’s compliance with any law, and does not perform, review, or guarantee background checks, eligibility or age verification, licensing, or recordkeeping. ShotGroup provides no legal, FFL, ATF, NICS, tax, or regulatory advice. Any compliance-related feature is an assistive tool only and is not a substitute for your own independent legal judgment and counsel. You remain solely responsible for your legal compliance.

6.Payments, fees & plans

Payments through the Services are processed by Stripe. When an Operator accepts payments from End Users, the Operator is the merchant of record using Stripe Connect; Scrypster LLC merely facilitates the connection and is not the seller or a party to the transaction. The Operator, not Scrypster LLC, is responsible for the goods and services sold, for taxes, and for its own refund, cancellation, and chargeback handling. Your use of Stripe is subject to Stripe’s applicable agreements.

Paid subscription plans and any per-transaction fees are described on our pricing page and at sign-up. Fees are charged in advance and, except where required by law or expressly stated, are non-refundable. We may change plans and fees prospectively on notice; changes do not apply to a term you have already paid for. You authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method for amounts you owe. Taxes are your responsibility unless we state otherwise.

7.Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Services to, and not to allow anyone to:

violate any law or regulation, or facilitate any unlawful firearm transfer, possession, sale, or activity, or any transfer to a person not legally permitted to receive it;
violate any export-control, sanctions, or trade law, including the ITAR, the Export Administration Regulations, or OFAC sanctions; upload firearms technical data or manufacturing designs controlled under those regimes; or use the Services while located in, or on behalf of anyone in, an embargoed jurisdiction or on a denied- or restricted-party list;
infringe others’ intellectual-property or privacy rights, or post unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or fraudulent content;
interfere with, disrupt, probe, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or their security; scrape or harvest data except as we expressly permit; or introduce malware;
misrepresent your identity or eligibility, or use the Services to stalk, harm, or endanger others.

We may investigate and take action for suspected violations, including removing content, suspending accounts, and reporting to authorities where we believe in good faith it is appropriate or legally required.

8.User content & public results

You retain ownership of the content you submit (“User Content”), including profiles, business information, scores, and results. You grant Scrypster LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute your User Content as needed to operate and improve the Services — including publishing match registrations, leaderboards, and results that are meant to be public (see the Privacy Policy).

You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights to submit it. Scrypster LLC does not control and is not responsible for the accuracy of User Content, including scores, results, listings, and information posted by Operators or other users, and does not endorse it. We may, but are not obligated to, review, remove, or disable User Content that we believe violates these Terms or the law.

Competition results are records controlled by the Operator that ran the event. Because official results have integrity and historical value, closing your account does not necessarily remove your name or results from published match records, which the Operator controls.

9.Assumption of risk & release

You understand that shooting sports and activities at ranges, clubs, matches, and training events involve inherent and significant risks — including firearm discharge, ricochets, malfunctions, hearing and eye injury, lead exposure, and serious bodily injury or death. You voluntarily assume all such risks. Because Scrypster LLC does not own, operate, supervise, staff, or control any range, facility, activity, or event, and is merely software, you release and agree not to hold Scrypster LLC responsible for any injury, death, loss, or damage arising out of or relating to any physical activity, premises, firearm, instruction, or conduct at any range, facility, or event — whether caused by the ordinary negligence of an Operator, an instructor, another participant, you, or anyone else.

This release does not apply to liability that cannot be waived under applicable law, including liability for Scrypster LLC’s own gross negligence, recklessness, or willful misconduct. Responsibility for safe range operation, supervision, and premises rests solely with the Operator.

10.Disclaimers of warranties

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” with all faults and without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scrypster LLC disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory — whether arising under the Uniform Commercial Code, common law, statute, or otherwise — including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, and any warranty that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, accurate, error-free, or compliant with any law. Scrypster LLC does not warrant any Operator, End User, product, result, score, or transaction, and is not responsible for the acts or omissions of any Operator, End User, or third party.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11.Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Scrypster LLC and its owners, members, officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business, arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of the possibility. In no event will Scrypster LLC’s total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms exceed the greater of (a) the total fees you paid Scrypster LLC for the Services in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, such as liability for Scrypster LLC’s own gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud, or for death or bodily injury caused by Scrypster LLC’s own negligence. The limitations and exclusions in this Section and in Sections 9 and 10 are a fundamental basis of the bargain between you and Scrypster LLC and allocate risk between us; they apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

12.Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Scrypster LLC and its owners, members, officers, employees, and suppliers from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) your User Content; (c) your violation of these Terms or any law; (d) if you are an Operator, your range, facility, classes, events, goods, services, waivers, and transactions with End Users — including any claim for personal injury, death, or property damage; and (e) any dispute between you and an Operator, End User, or other third party. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.

13.Third-party services

The Services rely on and link to third-party services (such as Stripe for payments and cloud hosting). Your use of them may be governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and Scrypster LLC is not responsible for third-party services or content.

14.Intellectual property

The Services, including all software, design, and content we provide, are owned by Scrypster LLC and its licensors and are protected by law. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, resell, or create derivative works except as the law expressly permits. If you send us feedback or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, royalty-free license to use them without obligation to you.

15.Suspension & termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access, with or without notice, if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Services or others. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including Sections 8 through 12, 14, 16, and 17 — will survive.

16.Dispute resolution; arbitration & class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. Except for the carve-outs below, you and Scrypster LLC agree to resolve all disputes through binding individual arbitration. You and Scrypster LLC are waiving the right to a trial by jury and the right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. You may opt out within 30 days (see below).

Agreement to arbitrate; delegation

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms — including their existence, breach, interpretation, enforceability, or formation — will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that it is void or voidable — except that a court decides the enforceability of the class-action waiver below.

Administrator, rules & procedure

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (and, for coordinated or mass filings, the AAA Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules) in effect when the demand is filed. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The arbitration will take place in the county where you reside, or by telephone, video, or written submissions, at your election. To the extent required to make this agreement enforceable, Scrypster LLC will pay arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for claims as provided by the applicable AAA rules; each party otherwise bears its own attorneys’ fees except where a statute or the arbitrator provides otherwise.

Class-action & jury-trial waiver

Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis. You and Scrypster LLC waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any representative proceeding. You and Scrypster LLC also waive any right to a trial by jury. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court, and the rest of this section still applies.

Carve-outs

Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies and stays there.
Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or to stop unauthorized access or misuse of the Services.
Claims that applicable law makes non-arbitrable — including, at the claimant’s election, claims of sexual assault or sexual harassment under the federal Ending Forced Arbitration Act — are excluded.

30-day right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing legal@shotgroup.io within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, with your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms and will not disadvantage you.

Time limit

To the extent permitted by law, any claim must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred. This does not shorten any period that applicable law does not allow to be shortened.

17.Governing law & venue

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by the Federal Arbitration Act for Section 16. For any matter not subject to arbitration, you and Scrypster LLC submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Pennsylvania, and waive any objection to venue there — except that this does not override the right to bring a qualifying claim in your local small-claims court.

18.Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. For material changes we will provide reasonable notice (for example, through the Services or by email) and update the “Last updated” date. Changes are not retroactive. Your continued use of the Services after an update takes effect means you accept the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Services.

19.General

Entire agreement. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Scrypster LLC regarding the Services and supersede prior agreements.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it will be limited or removed to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains in effect.
No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Notices. We may provide notices through the Services or by email. Legal notices to us must be sent to Scrypster LLC, [MAILING ADDRESS], Pennsylvania, attention Legal.
