These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a binding agreement between you and Travel Soccer Truth LLC, doing business as "Travel Sports Truth" ("Travel Sports Truth," "Company," "we," "us," or "our") governing your access to and use of travelsportstruth.com and any related pages, features, content, forms, submissions, communications, and services made available through the website (collectively, the "Site").

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACCEPT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

1.Purpose of the Site

Travel Sports Truth is an independent, parent-facing educational platform covering youth travel sports, including soccer, ice hockey, baseball, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, competitive dance/cheer, and flag football. The Site provides general cost information, governing-body and recruiting data, coaching-credential explanations, safety and injury-risk information, and related educational commentary and resources.

The Site does not rank, rate, score, or evaluate any specific club, team, league, coach, or organization, and does not identify or name any specific club, team, league, coach, or organization for comparison purposes. The Site is not a recruiting service, legal service, financial advisory service, club-placement service, or guaranteed factual database, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any specific club, league, or governing body referenced on the Site.

2.Eligibility and Permitted Use

You may use the Site only for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes and only in compliance with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. By using the Site, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

You agree to use the Site solely for legitimate informational purposes. You may view, print, or download limited portions of the Site for your own personal, non-commercial use, provided that you do not remove proprietary notices or misrepresent the source of the content.

3.Prohibited Conduct

You agree that you will not, and will not attempt to:

  • Use the Site for any unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory, harassing, abusive, or misleading purpose.
  • Submit false, fabricated, misleading, or knowingly inaccurate information through any form, survey, correction request, submission tool, email, or other channel.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or falsely state or imply your affiliation with any person, club, organization, or business.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, damage, overburden, or impair the operation or security of the Site or any connected networks or systems.
  • Scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, extract, monitor, republish, frame, mirror, or systematically collect Site content, data, cost figures, calculator or quiz outputs, written analyses, tools, layouts, or materials by automated means or for any commercial purpose without prior written consent.
  • Bypass or attempt to bypass access restrictions, security features, or protective technological measures.
  • Upload, transmit, or distribute malicious code, malware, spyware, or harmful technology.
  • Reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works from, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, sell, license, or exploit any portion of the Site except as expressly permitted by these Terms.

4.No Professional Advice

The Site and all content made available through it are provided for general informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on the Site constitutes legal, financial, recruiting, educational, medical, psychological, or other professional advice. You are solely responsible for evaluating any information obtained from the Site and for consulting appropriate professionals where necessary.

5.Accuracy; No Guarantee of Completeness or Currency

The Site may include information derived from public sources, governing-body publications, industry cost research, historical data, estimates, editorial analysis, and ongoing review. Because costs, governing-body rules, coaching-certification requirements, recruiting practices, and program structures vary by region and change over time, we do not warrant or guarantee that any content on the Site is complete, current, accurate, verified, error-free, or fit for your particular purpose. The Site provides general, aggregate, and educational information only, it does not describe or evaluate any specific club, team, or organization, and nothing on the Site should be treated as a factual representation about any particular program.

6.User Responsibility and Independent Verification

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for independently verifying any information before relying on it or making decisions based on it. Because the Site does not track or report on any specific club, team, or organization, this includes verifying current costs, fees, policies, coaching credentials, governing-body rules, and safety practices directly with the specific club, team, league, or organization you are considering, and with the relevant sport's governing body where applicable.

7.User Submissions

The Site may permit users to submit information, comments, experiences, corrections, inquiries, reviews, or other materials ("Submissions"). By providing any Submission to us, you grant Travel Soccer Truth LLC, doing business as "Travel Sports Truth" a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, store, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, display, analyze, summarize, aggregate, anonymize, and otherwise use the Submission in connection with operating and improving the Site. You represent that your Submission does not violate these Terms or any applicable law, and that you have all rights necessary to grant this license. User-submitted content may be edited, redacted, summarized, or removed at editorial discretion before publication or at any time thereafter. We reserve the right to decline to publish, remove, or modify any Submission for any reason or no reason without notice.
