SlateSnipe Terms of Use

Documentation version 1.0.0 R1. Effective date: September 18, 2026.

1 Agreement and eligibility

These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and SlateSnipe LLC, doing business as SlateSnipe ("SlateSnipe," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern the SlateSnipe website, accounts, paid and complimentary access, and related analytical tools and content (the "Service"). By affirmatively accepting these Terms, you agree to them. Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal information. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not create an account, purchase a subscription, or use the Service.

You must be at least 18 years old, have the legal capacity to enter this agreement, and be legally permitted to use the Service. An age confirmation is a condition of access, not a determination that you may enter a particular daily fantasy sports (DFS) contest. SlateSnipe does not determine your legal eligibility to participate in any contest and makes no representation concerning the legality of DFS in your jurisdiction. You must independently satisfy each contest operator's age, location, identity, and other requirements, which may be stricter than ours.

2 Informational service and no guarantee of results

SlateSnipe provides informational and analytical tools only. It does not operate DFS contests, accept contest entries or wagers, hold contest-entry funds, determine contest winners, or pay contest prizes. Your SlateSnipe subscription purchases access to software, not entry into a contest.

Projections, simulations, optimized lineups, historical data, rankings, statistics, recommendations, and other outputs are estimates based on information available at the time generated and may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or rendered obsolete by subsequent events. SlateSnipe does not guarantee that use of the Service will improve your likelihood of winning, result in a winning contest entry, or produce any financial return. You are solely responsible for independently evaluating all information and deciding whether, where, and how to enter any contest.

Do not assume that an output reflects late-breaking injuries, scratches, inactives, starting-lineup decisions, weather, contest changes, scoring changes, or corrections to third-party data. A warning, status label, automated safeguard, or absence of a warning is not confirmation of a player's availability, role, or eligibility. Check official information and the contest operator's rules before entering or editing a lineup. You can lose the entire amount you spend on contests.

Manual projections, exposure settings, exclusions, favorites, and other choices affect results. Imported contest data and exported files may become stale or fail an operator's validation. Review the final entry on the contest operator's platform; generating or exporting a lineup does not submit or confirm an entry. Spotter supplies automated informational responses that may be incorrect; it is not professional advice or an assurance of current information.

3 Accounts and security

Provide accurate account information and keep your email address current. Your account is personal. Do not share, sell, rent, or transfer it, or allow another person to use your credentials. Protect your password and authentication or recovery codes. Contact support@slatesnipe.com promptly if you suspect unauthorized use. You are responsible for your own account activity and for activity you authorize, subject to applicable law.

We may require email verification, authentication checks, or additional security steps, and may revoke sessions to protect accounts. Never send us a password, authenticator code, recovery code, full payment-card number, or secret key in a support message.

4 Personal use license

Subject to these Terms and your access entitlement, we grant you a limited, nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable license to use the Service for your personal, noncommercial research and lawful contest participation. You may create, adjust, save, download, and submit lineups to your own contest accounts as the Service permits, including contests offering monetary prizes. This permission does not authorize resale or commercial redistribution of our outputs or technology.

5 Prohibited uses

Except where applicable law grants a right that cannot be restricted, you must not:

• Copy, scrape, harvest, republish, sell, license, commercially exploit, or create competing or derivative products from the Service, projections, optimizer outputs, data compilations, or proprietary methods, other than the personal lineup use expressly permitted above.
• Reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, probe private interfaces, or attempt to discover nonpublic source code, formulas, model parameters, credentials, or trade secrets.
• Use Service data or outputs to train, fine-tune, distill, evaluate for competitive replication, or improve a competing artificial-intelligence system, statistical model, optimizer, or analytical service.
• Make excessive automated requests, use bots without permission, evade limits through multiple accounts, or interfere with the availability, security, or integrity of the Service.
• Circumvent authentication, subscription checks, security restrictions, or access controls; attempt to access another person's account or data; or upload malicious code.
• Submit material you lack the right to use, impersonate others, falsify evidence, or use the Service unlawfully or in violation of third-party rights or applicable contest rules.

6 User submissions and licenses

You retain any ownership rights you have in material you submit, such as support messages, uploaded content, and saved lineup selections ("User Submissions"). You represent that you have the rights and permissions needed to provide that material and to grant the licenses below, and that your submissions comply with law and these Terms. Do not send unnecessary personal information about others.

You grant SlateSnipe a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, process, adapt as technically necessary, and use User Submissions solely to operate, provide, secure, improve, and administer the Service, including handling support and enforcing these Terms. We may allow service providers to exercise these rights only to perform those functions for us. This license does not authorize selling your personal information, publicizing private content, or using it inconsistently with our Privacy Notice. It lasts only while reasonably needed for those purposes, subject to lawful retention and backup handling described in that Notice.

Leaderboards are upcoming. If we later enable them and you affirmatively choose to publish a submission, you separately grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, display, format, and distribute the particular public fields you select or are shown before submission, solely to operate and present that leaderboard under its Official Leaderboard Rules. Private proof is not made public under that license. Until those rules and publication controls are available, no leaderboard submission or publication license is requested by your ordinary use of SlateSnipe. Marketing use beyond the leaderboard requires separate permission.

7 Intellectual property and feedback

The Service's software, design, original content, proprietary models and methods, and protected compilations belong to SlateSnipe or its licensors. SlateSnipe names and logos are our trademarks or trade identifiers; third-party marks belong to their owners. No trademark license or ownership transfer is granted. We do not claim exclusive ownership of public facts or of your independently created material.

If you voluntarily give us suggestions or product feedback, you grant us a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and commercialize it for any purpose without restriction, attribution, or compensation, to the extent you may lawfully grant those rights. This feedback license does not override the Privacy Notice or turn private account information into public feedback.

8 Subscriptions and automatic renewal

Founder monthly plan: $19.99 per month, automatically renewing each month at $19.99 until canceled, subject to the founder-price continuity rules below. Founder six-month plan: $99.99 per six-month term, automatically renewing every six months at $99.99 until canceled, subject to the same rules. Prices are in US dollars; applicable taxes are additional and disclosed before purchase. These are continuing founder prices, not prices that automatically increase after six months. No free trial is included unless an offer expressly states otherwise.

Before you purchase, we will clearly disclose the selected plan, recurring amount, billing interval, applicable taxes, and cancellation method and obtain your affirmative authorization for recurring charges. The purchase confirmation will identify your plan and renewal terms in a form you can retain. Monthly plans renew monthly; six-month plans renew every six months. You authorize SlateSnipe and Stripe to charge the selected payment method for those renewals until canceled. Your next renewal date appears in billing management.

Founder pricing remains attached to the same continuously maintained subscription and billing interval. Closing the founder enrollment offer or changing the price offered to new subscribers does not change a qualifying existing subscriber's founder renewal price. Updating a payment method alone does not end the price lock. Founder pricing is not transferable and is not a promise that all future products, sports, or separately priced features will be included.

If you cancel renewal, paid access ordinarily continues through the end of the paid term. If cancellation is withdrawn before it takes effect and the same subscription continues without interruption, the founder price remains. Once the subscription actually ends, the prior founder-price entitlement ends. If you later subscribe again after the founder enrollment offer has closed, the new subscription is priced at the offer then available to you, disclosed before you authorize the purchase. The former founder price is not automatically restored. While a founder offer is still open, a new subscription qualifies only under the offer then displayed. A plan change requires disclosure of the new price and any effect on founder eligibility before you confirm it.

We may retry a failed payment, request an updated payment method, suspend paid access, and terminate a subscription if payment cannot be collected. A payment failure successfully cured before the subscription is terminated does not by itself forfeit founder pricing. Any offered cure deadline will be communicated to you; this does not promise an indefinite grace period. We will not treat a SlateSnipe billing error as your voluntary cancellation or use a technical interruption to evade an otherwise applicable price lock.

9 Cancellation refunds and future prices

Cancel automatic renewal online using "Manage an existing subscription" on the Pricing page and completing the cancellation in the Stripe-hosted portal before your next renewal. You do not need to telephone us. If you cannot access the portal, email support@slatesnipe.com with your account email and an unambiguous cancellation request; do not send payment credentials. We will use the date we receive a sufficiently identifiable request when determining whether it preceded renewal, subject to applicable law. Keep the cancellation confirmation. Merely signing out, ceasing use, or deleting a browser shortcut does not cancel a subscription.

Except as required by applicable law or expressly stated at the time of purchase, payments are non-refundable and SlateSnipe does not provide refunds or credits for partially used subscription periods. Cancellation prevents future renewal but does not ordinarily result in a refund for the current paid term. This policy does not limit rights concerning unauthorized, erroneous, or otherwise unlawful charges. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are different actions; if you request account deletion, we will also address any ongoing renewal rather than leave an inaccessible paid subscription renewing without a usable cancellation route.

We may change prices for new subscriptions and for subscriptions not protected by a continuing founder-price commitment. For an increase to the recurring price of an existing non-founder subscription, we will email notice at least 30 days before the first affected renewal, or earlier where law requires, identify the new price and effective renewal date, and explain how to cancel. The increase will not apply to an already-paid term. If the required notice cannot be given before the next renewal, the increase will take effect at a later renewal. We will obtain additional consent where required by law. This general price-change provision does not override an active founder-price lock.

Complimentary or promotional access has no cash value and is not transferable. Its duration and conditions are those disclosed when granted; it does not automatically create founder-price eligibility or convert into paid recurring access without your authorization.

10 Third party services and information

Third-party data and links are supplied for convenience. We do not control or warrant outside data sources, services, availability, or accuracy, and we do not guarantee compatibility with future operator changes. FanDuel, DraftKings, Stripe, and other third parties have their own terms and privacy practices. Their names and marks do not imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation. You remain responsible for third-party contest rules, entry fees, eligibility, winnings, taxes, and disputes with those providers.

11 Service changes and termination

We may maintain, correct, change, or discontinue features, and may restrict or terminate access for material violations, unlawful conduct, security risks, or nonpayment. Where reasonably practicable and legally appropriate, we will give notice and an opportunity to address the issue. Immediate action may be necessary for security or legal reasons. These rights do not permit us to evade an active founder-price commitment or mandatory consumer remedies.

If we permanently discontinue a prepaid Service without providing the remaining paid access, we will refund the unused portion of that prepaid term, unless a different remedy more favorable to you is required by law. You may cancel as described above and request account deletion through support@slatesnipe.com. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including accrued payment obligations, intellectual-property protections, lawful retention licenses, feedback rights, liability provisions, and dispute provisions, survive to the extent applicable.

12 Warranty disclaimer

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, OR RESULTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION OR THAT OUTPUTS WILL IMPROVE CONTEST PERFORMANCE.

Subject to the limits of applicable law, we disclaim responsibility for losses arising from contest entries or lineup decisions, projection errors, inaccurate or stale data, third-party data or services, outages or interruptions, unauthorized access outside our reasonable control, or changes made by DFS operators. This provision does not excuse a failure to meet a nonwaivable legal duty.

13 Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLATESNIPE AND ITS AFFILIATES, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST WINNINGS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF SLATESNIPE AND ITS AFFILIATES, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO SLATESNIPE DURING THE SIX MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, or statutory consumer rights to the extent applicable law prohibits the exclusion or limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or limitations of liability, so some of the foregoing may not apply to you.

14 Limited indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless SlateSnipe and its representatives from third-party claims and resulting damages, liabilities, and reasonable legal costs to the extent caused by your unlawful use of the Service, violation of these Terms, infringement or misuse of third-party rights, or User Submissions. This obligation does not cover claims caused by our own unlawful conduct or apply where prohibited by consumer law. We will provide reasonably prompt notice, allow reasonable cooperation in the defense, and not agree to a settlement imposing an admission or nonmonetary obligation on you without your consent. You may not settle a claim imposing an obligation on us without our consent; neither party will unreasonably withhold consent.

15 Informal disputes and court proceedings

Before filing suit concerning the Service or these Terms, you and SlateSnipe will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 30 days after receipt of written notice. Send your notice to legal@slatesnipe.com identifying the claimant, account email if any, relevant facts, and relief requested. We will send any notice to your registered email or another contact you provide. Neither party must supply passwords, authentication codes, or payment credentials. Either party may request a reasonable clarification without restarting the period indefinitely.

This process does not prevent a legally permitted small-claims action, a complaint to a regulator, urgent protective relief, or a filing needed to preserve a limitations deadline. It does not limit a nonwaivable right or extend a statutory deadline unless law permits and the parties agree.

Illinois law governs these Terms without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, except that mandatory consumer protections that apply where you live remain available. Unless applicable law requires another forum, disputes will be heard in the Circuit Court of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit, DuPage County, Illinois, in Wheaton, or, where federal subject-matter jurisdiction exists, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The parties consent to those courts' jurisdiction to the extent permitted by law. These Terms do not impose mandatory arbitration or a waiver of jury-trial or class-action rights.

16 Copyright complaints

Send copyright complaints to legal@slatesnipe.com. Identify the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material and its location on the Service, your contact details, and your authority to act. Include a physical or electronic signature, a good-faith statement that the challenged use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or law, and a statement that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act, under penalty of perjury. Avoid including unrelated confidential information. We may share the complaint with the affected submitter as necessary to investigate and address it.

We may remove or restrict disputed material and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate repeat infringers. If your material is restricted, contact legal@slatesnipe.com to contest the restriction. Any applicable statutory notice and counter-notice rights remain available. This contact procedure does not represent that SlateSnipe has registered a designated DMCA agent or qualifies for a statutory safe harbor.

17 Electronic communications and amendments

We communicate electronically through the Service and your registered email, including account, security, billing, and legal notices. Maintain an accessible email address and retain notices you need. This does not constitute consent to marketing or waive any legally required delivery method, consent, or paper-record right.

We may amend these Terms prospectively. We will post the revised version and effective date and notify you by email or a prominent in-service notice of material changes before they take effect. Where a material change requires affirmative consent, we will request it. Urgent changes required by law or to address a security risk may take effect sooner, with notice as appropriate. Changes will not retroactively alter accrued claims or override an active founder-price lock. Price changes are subject to Section 9. You may stop using the Service and cancel future renewals if you do not accept a change, without losing nonwaivable rights or remedies.

18 General provisions and contact

Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, such as natural disasters, war, government restrictions, or widespread infrastructure failures, except for obligations that law does not permit to be excused. This does not excuse payment already owed, reasonable mitigation, required data-security measures, or legally required refunds or notices.

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them as part of a legitimate reorganization or transfer of the Service, provided the successor assumes our obligations, including applicable founder-price commitments. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect; any modification is limited to what the law permits. A failure or delay to enforce a right is not a waiver. A waiver must be explicit and applies only to the stated instance.

These Terms and the specific purchase terms you affirmatively accept constitute the entire agreement concerning the Service and supersede prior inconsistent statements, without excluding rights or representations that applicable law preserves. The Privacy Notice separately explains personal-information practices; it does not authorize processing inconsistent with law. A specific founder-price commitment controls over a general reservation to change prices.
