Organiser Terms
Version organiser-terms-2026-10 · Last updated: 30 October 2026
These terms apply when you create or run a league on ScorePuppy. In them, "we" and "ScorePuppy" mean BraindAI Pty Ltd (ABN 61 701 238 968), Australia, and "you" means the person who creates or runs the league (the owner, and any moderators, captains or team managers you appoint). They sit alongside the ScorePuppy Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which also apply.
1. Your league, your responsibility
Who can run a league. You must be 18 or over to create or own a league, or to be one of its moderators, captains or team managers. These roles need a ScorePuppy account and give access to other people's personal information, and the owner accepts these terms.
For a junior, school or youth league, a parent, coach or teacher creates and owns the league; the Free plan is enough to run it. Younger people can still help the adult run it: for example, they can tell the adult the results to enter, or (with Club or Club Pro) run the scoreboard on a screen with the league's scoreboard code, which needs no account and never changes the league's results. They don't get an account or staff access, and they don't see other people's personal information.
Your responsibility. ScorePuppy is a tool. It lets you organise teams, fixtures, scores, statistics, payments and announcements for your league. You decide how the league is run and how the tool is used. We don't supervise leagues, check who joins, or verify what you enter. That means you are responsible for:
- running the league in line with the laws where you and your players are. This includes sport, child-safety, privacy and consumer laws;
- the rules of your competition and how disputes between teams, players, parents and venues are handled;
- everyone you give access to. That means anyone who has your league code, plus the moderators, captains and managers you appoint. It also covers what they do in the league.
2. Players' personal information
For the information about your players, your league decides what goes in and how it's used; we hold and process it to provide ScorePuppy for you, under our Privacy Policy.
When you, your staff or players enter names, numbers, photos, stats, availability or payment status, you are collecting personal information about real people. You agree to:
- tell players (and parents or guardians) that the league uses ScorePuppy, and what is shown to people with the league code;
- only enter information that's needed to run the league, and only what you're allowed to;
- use the privacy settings ScorePuppy provides, choosing what suits your league and your players:
- how names are shown (full name, first name and initial, or nickname);
- who can see the league (only people with the code);
- photos (optional, adults only);
- remove a person's information when they ask you to, or when it's no longer needed. Players can also ask in the app: their phone is unlinked straight away, and you (the owner, moderators or the team's captain) decide whether their profile and stats are deleted.
We give you these tools, but you choose how to use them. We are not responsible for how you configure or use them, or for what you or your staff publish.
3. Players under 18
When you create a league you choose its youngest age group. If the league includes players under 18:
- under-18s must be registered by a parent or legal guardian, who gives consent in the app. If you add an under-18 yourself, you confirm that a parent or guardian has agreed;
- ScorePuppy limits what it stores and shows about under-18s:
- first name and surname initial only (the full surname only if the parent or guardian agrees), and no nickname;
- no photo (photos of under-18s can't be added);
- removal at any time;
- a parent or guardian can connect the teen's own phone (13 to 17 only). The teen sees their games and reminders and can answer "Are you playing?"; they have no account and can't change anything else;
- you are responsible for the age rules where your league plays. Some countries set a higher age for a child's own use of online services or for consent (for example 14, 15 or 16). If yours does, only allow junior players in your league if you follow those rules, and ask parents to keep their teen's phone disconnected below that age;
- you must follow any child-safety requirements that apply to your club, venue or sport, for example working-with-children checks and supervision rules. ScorePuppy doesn't replace them;
- you must not use ScorePuppy to contact children directly or to share their information outside the league.
4. What you must not do
Don't use ScorePuppy to:
- publish anything unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, harassing or that breaches someone's privacy or rights;
- add people who haven't agreed to be in your league, or impersonate anyone;
- collect information you don't need, or use players' information for anything other than running the league (for example, marketing that hasn't been agreed);
- interfere with the service, other leagues, or other users' accounts;
- harm, exploit, groom or endanger anyone, especially children.
Child safety. If your league includes under-18s, you are responsible for the child-safety rules where you play, including Working With Children (or similar) checks for coaches, officials and volunteers, and your club's or sport's safeguarding policy. ScorePuppy has no chat or private messaging, which keeps contact with children inside your league's own processes.
We may remove content, suspend a league or close an account that breaks these terms or the law, or that puts people at risk.
5. Fees and payments
League fees, payment links and "I've paid" status are between you and your players. Payments happen outside ScorePuppy, on the website or method you choose. We don't handle that money, and we aren't party to it or responsible for it, including refunds. ScorePuppy plan subscriptions are separate, and are billed by Apple or Google under their terms.
6. Venues, fixtures and results
Venue details, game times, results and statistics are entered by you and your staff. We don't guarantee they're accurate. Notifications and reminders are sent on a best-effort basis; phones, settings and networks can delay or block them. Don't rely on ScorePuppy for anything safety-critical.
7. Our responsibility
We provide ScorePuppy "as is". We work to keep it secure and available, but we don't promise it will always be available or error-free. To the extent the law allows:
- we aren't liable for how your league is run, for decisions you or your staff make, or for content entered by users;
- we aren't liable for indirect or consequential loss;
- our total liability to you is limited to the greater of A$100 and the amount you paid for ScorePuppy in the 12 months before the claim.
Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (or similar laws elsewhere) that can't be excluded.
You agree to cover us for claims made against us by others that arise from how you ran your league or used ScorePuppy in breach of these terms or the law. This includes claims about player information you entered or published.
8. Handing a league over, and when an owner can't be reached
Handing over. The owner can hand the league to someone else in the app (Manage league → Hand over this league): to one of the league's moderators, who accepts, or with a one-time handover code, which the new owner enters and the current owner then approves. Teams, players, games, statistics and staff go with the league. The league's payment link is removed, so players don't keep paying the previous owner; the record of who has paid stays. Plans don't move: a plan belongs to the person who bought it through Apple or Google. If the league needs a paid plan, the new owner takes out their own, and the previous owner cancels theirs in the store if they no longer need it.
Once a year. A league can change owner (by handover or takeover) at most once in 12 months. This stops leagues being passed around to stretch free months. If there's a genuine reason to change sooner, write to hello@scorepuppy.com.
When the owner can't be reached. Owners leave clubs, lose their phones, and sometimes can't respond at all. So that a league isn't stuck, a moderator can ask to take it over in the app. The owner is told by notification and by email and has 30 days to decline, with reminders along the way (after 7, 14 and 21 days, 3 days before the end and on the last day). If they don't, the league moves to that moderator, and the previous owner stays on as a moderator (if the new owner's plan has room). The owner can also approve straight away. By appointing moderators, you agree that they may take over your league in this way if you don't respond. Only appoint people you trust, and remove moderators who no longer help run the league.
If there is no moderator, or something is wrong (for example the owner's account was taken over by someone else): write to hello@scorepuppy.com. We will try to reach the owner by email and, if there is no answer within 30 days, we may pass the league to a person who can show they run it (for example a club committee member or the venue). We may ask for reasonable evidence, and we may refuse a request that looks doubtful.
9. Activity log, undo and the scoreboard
Activity log and undo. ScorePuppy records every change to your league (who, when, and what it was before) for 30 days. The owner and moderators can see it in Manage league → Activity & undo and put the league back as it was, for everyone or for one person's changes, for example if a phone was lost or misused. On the Free plan this puts the whole league back 7 or 30 days (for emergencies; a wrong score is simply corrected in the app); with Club and Club Pro you can also undo a single change, one person's changes, or choose 24 hours, or 2, 5, 7, 14 or 30 days. An undo only affects your league. If something can't be fixed in the app, write to hello@scorepuppy.com and we'll help; we can restore a league's data from the last 30 days, including a deleted league (except information deleted at someone's privacy request, such as a deleted account or a removed child).
Deleting a league. Deleting a league needs a 6-digit code we email to the owner. If it was a mistake, write to hello@scorepuppy.com within 30 days and we can bring it back.
Scoreboard. The scoreboard code shows a scoreboard (score, clock, penalties) on a screen and, from the same page, lets whoever has it run it without an account. It is only a display: it never changes your league's results, games or stats. Give the code only to the people running the board, and make a new one in the app if it has been passed around.
10. Changes and ending
We may update these terms. If the changes are significant, we'll tell you in the app, and you may need to accept the new version to keep creating or running leagues. You can stop using ScorePuppy at any time and delete your account in the app. Leagues you own are then handed to a moderator, or deleted if there isn't one.
11. Law
These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia.
