2. About the Service

BracketDraw is an online tool that allows users to create and manage tournament brackets.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or a tournament on BracketDraw.

Tournament participants do not need an account. If you run a tournament for players under 13, such as a school or youth event, it should be created by a teacher, coach, parent or another adult organizer.

If you create an account:

• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account

• You are responsible for all activity under your account

5. Acceptable Use

You agree NOT to:

• Use the Service for unlawful purposes
• Attempt to overload or disrupt the system
• Reverse engineer or exploit the platform
• Use automated systems (bots) without permission

6. Your Content

You are responsible for the content you enter into BracketDraw, including tournament titles, team names and participant names. You must have the right to publish this content, and it must not be unlawful, infringe anyone's rights, or include personal data you are not allowed to share.

You keep all rights in your content. You grant BracketDraw a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, display and reproduce your content only as needed to operate the Service, for example on public tournament pages, in embeds and in exports.

This licence ends when you delete the content. After deletion we stop displaying the content, but we may keep a copy that is not shown to anyone, to restore the content at your request, to protect the Service or to comply with the law.

We do not review content before it is published, but we may remove content that breaks these Terms or the law. To report content, contact us at support@bracketdraw.com.

7. Participants' Personal Data

When you add participants, you may enter names or other information about other people. You confirm that you have a lawful reason to do so and that you will tell participants that their names will appear on a tournament page that anyone with the link can view.

• Where full names are not needed, use first names, initials or nicknames.
• Do not enter contact details or sensitive information (such as health data) about participants.

If a participant asks us to remove their name, we will remove or replace it. Participants can contact us at support@bracketdraw.com. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle this data.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, design, and functionality of the Service are owned by BracketDraw.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access at any time, without notice, if you violate these Terms.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

BracketDraw is provided free of charge, "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee that the Service will always be available, error-free or accurate.

Please keep your own copy of important tournament information, for example using the PDF export.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control.

Our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for intent or gross negligence, for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including your statutory rights as a consumer.

12. Changes to the Service

We may modify or discontinue the Service at any time without notice.

13. Future Paid Features

We may introduce paid features in the future.

If that happens:

15. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms when the Service or the law changes. We will publish the new version on this page and update the date at the top.

If a change materially affects your rights, we will tell you at least 14 days before it takes effect: by email if you have an account, and with a notice on the website. If you do not agree with the change, you can stop using the Service and delete your account before the change takes effect.

Changes required by law, and changes that only add features or fix errors, may take effect immediately.
