Community Policies
Community Guidelines
Welcome to the Tailgate app community! Our platform is dedicated to bringing sports fans together to share their passion, experiences, and insights. These guidelines are here to ensure that every member of our community feels respected, included, and safe.
At Tailgate, we believe in the power of sports to unite people from all walks of life. Our community is built on the pillars of respect, diversity, and positive engagement. We’re committed to maintaining a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our users.
Your role in our community is crucial. By following these guidelines, you help create an enjoyable and safe space for all sports fans to connect and interact.
Core Principles
Respect for All: Every member of our community deserves respect. We encourage open, honest, and positive communication. Disrespectful behavior towards others, whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or any other personal characteristic, has no place in our community.
Diversity and Inclusion: Our strength lies in our diversity. We celebrate and embrace the varied backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our users. Every fan’s voice is important in creating an inclusive community where everyone feels valued.
Positive Engagement: We encourage a spirit of positivity. Share your passion, support your teams, and engage with others in a manner that uplifts and encourages. Our community thrives on positive energy and camaraderie.
Safety and Comfort: Your safety is paramount. We’re dedicated to maintaining an environment where you feel secure and comfortable. Harassment, bullying, and threatening behavior are strictly prohibited and will be addressed promptly.
Authenticity and Honesty: Be true to yourself and others. Authenticity builds trust and creates genuine connections. We encourage honest discussions and sharing of opinions, while also expecting integrity in all interactions.
Acceptable Behavior
Constructive Interaction: Engage in discussions that are respectful, informative, and constructive. Share your knowledge, experiences, and enthusiasm in a way that benefits others.
Support and Positivity: Be a source of support and positivity. Celebrate wins, offer consolation in losses, and encourage sportsmanship.
Relevant Sharing: Feel free to share sports-related content, including news, analyses, and personal stories, as long as they adhere to our guidelines and respect others’ viewpoints.
Community Building: Actively participate in building a welcoming environment. Invite new perspectives, engage in friendly debates, and help others feel at home in our community.
Remember, while we all love to win and support our teams passionately, it’s important to uplift rather than tear down. Let’s celebrate the spirit of the game together, respecting each other’s passion and dedication.
Unacceptable Behavior
Harassment and Bullying: Any form of harassment, bullying, or intimidation is strictly forbidden. This includes personal attacks, threats, and derogatory remarks.
Hate Speech and Discrimination: Speech that promotes hatred, discrimination, or violence against individuals or groups based on attributes such as race, religion, gender, or sexual orientation is prohibited.
Spam and Self-Promotion: Spamming the community with irrelevant links, repetitive posts, or excessive self-promotion detracts from meaningful interactions.
Misinformation and Falsehoods: Deliberately spreading misinformation or engaging in deceitful practices undermines the trust and authenticity of our community.
Inappropriate Content: Posting or sharing offensive, explicit, or violent content is not allowed and will be removed.
In the heat of competition, it’s easy to get carried away, but this is no excuse for negative behavior. Always consider the impact of your words and actions on others.
We’re all here to enjoy the world of sports, so let’s do so with kindness and respect.
Reporting & Enforcement
Reporting Mechanism: If you encounter any behavior or content that violates our community guidelines, we encourage you to report it immediately to nick.burnett@tailgate.fan. This allows us to review the issue quickly and take appropriate action. When reporting, please provide as much detail as possible to help us understand the context and nature of the issue.
Review Process: Our team will review reported content and behavior promptly and impartially. We’re committed to fair and transparent decision-making based on the guidelines laid out.
Consequences for Violations: Depending on the severity and nature of the violation, actions may include a warning, temporary suspension, or permanent ban from the app. We reserve the right to remove any content that violates our guidelines.
Appeals Process: If you feel that a decision made regarding your content or behavior was unjust, you can appeal the decision by contacting us at nick.burnett@tailgate.fan. We promise to review each appeal carefully and consider all evidence provided.
Ongoing Monitoring: We continuously monitor the app environment to ensure a safe and positive experience for all users. We may update these guidelines and our enforcement policies as necessary to reflect the evolving nature of our community.
Conclusion
Our shared passion for sports brings us together, but it’s our respect for each other that makes this community great. Remember, winning is more than just the score at the end of the game – it’s about how we enjoy the game together, both on and off the field.

“Tailgate” or “we” refers to the relevant service provider providing the Services to you. You
agree to comply with these Terms and any supplemental terms which Tailgate makes available
to you on the Services, which shall form part of the Terms. Tailgate reserves the right to review
accounts and user actions on the Services to ensure compliance with our Terms. BY ACCESSING,
USING OR UPLOADING OR DOWNLOADING ANY INFORMATION OR MATERIALS TO OR FROM
THE SERVICES, OR BY INDICATING YOUR ASSENT TO THESE TERMS BY CREATING AN ACCOUNT,
CLICKING “SIGN UP” OR ANY SIMILAR MECHANISM, YOU ARE AGREEING TO THESE TERMS. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES. This agreement
was written in English. To the extent a translated version of the Terms conflict with the English
version, the English version controls.
If you access or use the Services on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent that you
have authority to bind such entity and its affiliates to these Terms and that it is fully binding on
them. In such case, the term “you” will refer to such entity and its affiliates. If you do not have
authority, you may not access or use the Services. These Terms contain disclaimers of
warranties and limitations on liability that may be applicable to you.
Notice Regarding Dispute Resolution: These Terms contain provisions that govern how
disputes between you and Tailgate are resolved, including an agreement to arbitrate, which

you to claims against Tailgate on an individual basis, unless you opt-out in accordance with
the instructions below.
Registration and Accounts
The Services are intended solely for persons who are at least 21 years old. If you are under the
legal age to form a legally binding contract, you represent that your parent or legal guardian
has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf.
If you are a parent or legal guardian of a Tailgate user under the legal age to form a binding
contract in your jurisdiction, you agree to be fully responsible for the acts or omissions of such
user, including any breach of these Terms. Notwithstanding, Tailgate reserves the right to
refuse access to the Services by users under the legal age, in our sole discretion.
To use the Services, you must register. In doing so, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate,
current and complete information about yourself (“User Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly
update the User Data. You agree that Tailgate may use your User Data to provide Services that
you access or use and as otherwise set forth in these Terms and our Privacy Policy. You also
agree to create only one account for your own personal use and not share your account or
Tailgate subscription with others. You agree that all activities associated with your account on
the Services reflect authentic activities undertaken by you. If you provide any User Data that is
inaccurate or not current, you have created multiple accounts, or Tailgate has reasonable
grounds to suspect that such User Data is inaccurate or not current, Tailgate has the right to
suspend or terminate your account and refuse current or future use of the Services. In
consideration of your use of the Services, you represent that you are not a person barred from
receiving services under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password associated with

while logged into the Services. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your
account or from your computer and mobile devices. You agree to immediately notify Tailgate of
any unauthorized use of your account or password, or any other breach of security, and confirm
that you understand all risks of unauthorized access to User Data and any other information or
content you provide to Tailgate. The use of unique and complex passwords is highly
recommended for security reasons.
You may register for, or log-in to your account, via a third-party network, such as Facebook,
Google, or Apple. If you do so, you will authorize Tailgate to pre-populate the registration and
other relevant information fields of your account and/or to use such third-party credentials to
log you into your account, based on those companies’ privacy policies. If you connect your
account to a third-party network, you agree to comply with the terms and conditions and
policies applicable to such third party.
By virtue of certain of the Services connecting to third-party APIs, you hereby agree to be
bound by those providers’ terms of service and privacy policies in connection with your use of
such Services.

Method”). If you provide your payment information, you authorize us and certain third-party
service providers, payment card networks and payment processors to receive, store, and

fees [LINK]. Subscription fees, along with any required taxes, are payable in advance. Changes
in rates will take effect at the beginning of the next billing date. You agree to pay the
subscription fees, and other charges you incur in connection with your Tailgate account,
whether on a one-time or subscription basis. Tailgate reserves the right to increase subscription
fees, any associated taxes, or to institute new fees at any time upon reasonable advance notice.
Auto-Renewal
Subscription fees will be billed automatically at the start of the monthly or annual period, as

in advance. You may cancel your subscription at any time, as described below.
Cooling Off
If you reside outside the United States, you may be entitled to change your mind and receive a

Cancellation
Cancellation of Subscription
If you signed up on Tailgate.com, you may cancel your subscription by visiting your “My
Account” page and selecting “Cancel Subscription.” If you signed up through the Google Play or

fees may have increased. You can delete your account [LINK] at any time.
Free Trials
Your subscription may start with a free trial. The free trial period for any subscription will last

certain other offers, unless otherwise specified. If you begin your subscription with a free trial,
we will begin billing your Payment Method for subscription fees at the end of the free trial
period of your subscription unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial
period. Your Payment Method will be authorized for up to approximately one month of service

subscription at any time by going to your account settings [LINK].
Beta Features
Tailgate may make certain features available to you as part of a beta release, early access
program, or similar opportunity to test or use product functionality ("Beta features"). Beta
features may not be supported and may require you to update your version of the Services. Use
of Beta features is at your own risk and you understand that they may contain errors, design
flaws or other problems. The Your Feedback section of this policy applies to any feedback you
provide related to Beta features. Beta features may be changed or deprecated, and we may
remove access at any time without notice.
Ownership of and Use of Content
You own, or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in these Terms,
the information, data, text, software, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, posts,
tags, or other materials you make available in connection with the Services (“Content”),
whether publicly posted, privately transmitted, or submitted through a third-party API. Public
segments and routes created by using the Services are not considered Content. You grant us a
non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, reproduce,
modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and
display any Content and any name, username or likeness that you post on or in connection with
the Services in all media formats and channels now known or later developed without
compensation to you. This license ends when you delete your Content or your account.
You agree that Tailgate is not responsible for, and does not endorse, Content posted on the
Services. If your Content violates these Terms or is otherwise illegal or contrary to applicable
law, you may bear legal responsibility for that Content. As between you and Tailgate, any
Content will be non-confidential and non-proprietary and we will not be liable for any use or
disclosure of Content. You acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Tailgate is not a
confidential, fiduciary, or other type of special relationship, and that your decision to submit
any Content does not place Tailgate in a position that is any different from the position held by
members of the general public, including with regard to your Content. Your Content will not be
subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Tailgate other than as set forth in
our Privacy Policy [LINK] and your privacy controls [LINK], and Tailgate will not be liable for any
use or disclosure of any Content you provide.
The Services may provide you with the ability to mark certain Content that you submit to the
Services as private, public, or available only to select users of the Services. Tailgate will maintain
the privacy of such Content in accordance with your elections. However, if you do not elect to
mark your Content as private or available for a limited group of users, or later change such
designation to allow such Content to be made available to anyone, you are responsible for the
public nature of the content. Please review our Privacy Policy [LINK] for more information on
how to manage your privacy controls.
You give us permission to use your profile name, profile photo, and information about your
activities and actions you have taken, including your use of third-party products, services, or
devices, in ads, offers and other commercial contexts on the Services without compensation to
you. For example, we may show your Tailgate followers that you use a certain device, product,
or service available from a third-party that has paid us to display its ads on Tailgate. You
may adjust settings to prevent your profile name and profile photo from appearing in an ad.
As noted in our Privacy Policy [LINK], we may suggest segments, routes, challenges, or clubs on
Tailgate that may interest you, users that you may want to follow, or new features that you
may want to try. We also use algorithmic ranking to determine what type of content to show in
your feed. The main parameters for these recommendations can include your favorite teams,
user engagement with the content type (e.g., impressions, clicks), activity features, app usage
(e.g. Tailgates joined or attended), and basic demographic information (age, gender, tenure),
and location information where relevant to the recommendation (e.g., for Tailgate
recommendations), as well as your network (someone you follow joined this Tailgate).For
example, we may recommend Tailgates to you based on similar Tailgates you have viewed or
clicked on, as well as past Tailgates you have joined, and Tailgates people you follow have
joined.
In addition, depending on your settings, we use algorithmic ranking to determine the order of
activities that appear in your feed. You can use your Display Preferences to choose whether to
order the activities in your Feed to be "Personalized" (a blend of new Tailgates, the kinds of
Tailgates you tend to interact with) or by "Latest Activities" (chronologically, by when new
Tailgates are finished).
The Services are for your personal and noncommercial use. You may not modify, copy,
distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from,
transfer or sell for any commercial purposes any portion of the Services, use of the Services or
access to Content.
You are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create a text hyperlink to the Services for non-
commercial use only, provided such link does not portray Tailgate or any of its products or
services in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise defamatory manner, and provided
further that the linking site does not contain any pornographic, illegal, offensive, harassing or
otherwise objectionable material. You are further granted a right to implement any RSS feeds
located on the Services for your personal, non-commercial use, solely as described on the
Services. We reserve the right to revoke these licenses generally, or your right to use specific
links or RSS feeds, at any time, with or without cause.
You represent and warrant that: (i) you are authorized to create your account, whether
individually or on behalf of an organization; (ii) you own the Content posted by you on or
through the Services or otherwise have the right to grant the rights and licenses set forth in
these Terms; (iii) the posting and use of your Content on or through the Services does not and
will not violate, misappropriate or infringe on the rights of any third party, including, without
limitation, privacy and data protection rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademark and/or
other intellectual property rights; and (iv) you agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other
monies owed by reason of Content you post on or through the Services.
Content and Conduct Restrictions
Tailgate’s Acceptable Use Policy [LINK] describes restrictions on content and conduct and is
incorporated by reference into these Terms. You agree to comply with this policy.
You understand that you, and not Tailgate, are entirely responsible for all Content that you
upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Services. Tailgate may, in
accordance with applicable law, screen, monitor, hide, restrict, refuse or remove any Content
that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable. Please note, this does not guarantee the
accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content.
You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive,
indecent, objectionable or illegal. You agree to bear all risks associated with the use of any
Content available in connection with the Services, including any reliance on the accuracy,
completeness, or usefulness of such Content.
If you believe Content posted to the Services violates our standards or these Terms,
please report it to us. For more information on the action we may take against Tailgate
accounts that are found to be in violation of these Terms and our standards, and what to do if
you believe action has been taken in error, please see here [LINK].
Interactions with Tailgate Users
The Services function as a venue to connect Tailgate users. As a neutral facilitator, Tailgate is
not directly involved in the actual interactions between users using the Services. As a result,
Tailgate has no control over the truth, accuracy, quality, legality, or safety of postings made by
users using the Services. Tailgate shall have no responsibility to confirm the identity of users.
Tailgate shall also have no responsibility to confirm or verify the qualifications, background, or
abilities of users using the Services. You shall at all time exercise common sense and good
judgment when dealing with any user using the Services.
If you elect to use our features to inform your contacts about the Services, or share your
information with others, Tailgate may require you to provide contact information. Tailgate may
use the contact information you provide to send emails or text messages. You represent that
you are authorized to provide any third party contact information that you provide to Tailgate,
that you are authorized to use such information to contact (including for Tailgate to contact on
your behalf) the third party and that Tailgate may process such information pursuant to
the Privacy Policy [LINK].
Clubs
Tailgate creates and administers certain clubs, as well as the club verification program. Tailgate
may choose to verify certain clubs and place a badge on their profile page if they meet the
requirements for a Verified Badge for Clubs. We reserve the right to revoke or transfer
ownership of clubs, remove content, remove a club's verified status and badge, and remove a
club at any time. If you request a transfer of ownership of a club, Tailgate may require you to
provide certain documentation.
If you create a club on Tailgate, you are responsible for ensuring that your club: (a) abides by
these Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy [LINK] and our Community Standards [LINK]; (b)
does not claim, suggest an affiliation with, or impersonate Tailgate whether by using Tailgate's
intellectual property or otherwise; (c) has the right to use or post all club content, third party or
otherwise, including rights to use name(s), logo(s), images, trademarks, trade dress, service
marks, copyrights, or other intellectual property; and (d) does not, in Tailgate's sole discretion,
use the club to inappropriately advertise or promote any contests, sweepstakes, or other
promotions. Club administrators hereby agree to indemnify and hold Tailgate harmless from
any and all claims arising out of your club, including but not limited to claims of intellectual
property infringement.
Third Parties
Third party products and services made available on the Services are made and offered directly
by the applicable third party. When you pursue or purchase any such product or service, you
acknowledge that you are contracting directly with such third party and not with Tailgate. Your
interaction with, or participation in promotions of, third parties found on or through the
Services, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, are solely
between you and such third party. You are not obligated to use or transact business with any
third party that appears on the Services. YOU AGREE THAT TAILGATE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR
ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND INCURRED BY YOU AS THE RESULT OF ANY OF YOUR
DEALINGS WITH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS OR ADVERTISERS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE
SERVICES.
Tailgate or third parties may provide links to other internet sites or resources through the
Services. Tailgate does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, information,
advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites or resources. You
acknowledge and agree that Tailgate is not responsible for the availability of such external sites
or resources.

communications to third party service providers, advertisers, your personal contacts, other
users and/or Tailgate. You agree to use communication methods available on the Services only
to send communications and materials related to the subject matter for which Tailgate
provided the communication method, and you further agree that all such communications by
you shall be deemed your Content and shall be subject to and governed by the Terms and
applicable law (including laws regulating direct marketing communications with which you will
need to comply with, as applicable). By using communications methods available on the
Services, you agree that (a) depending on your account settings and method of communication,
communications methods used by you may constitute public, and not private, means of
communication between you and the other party or parties, (b) communications sent to or
received from third party service providers, advertisers or other third parties are not endorsed,
sponsored or approved by Tailgate (unless expressly stated otherwise by Tailgate) and (c)
Tailgate may pre-review, post-review, screen, archive, or otherwise monitor communications in
accordance with and to the extent permitted by law. You agree that all notices, disclosures and
other communications that we provide to you electronically shall satisfy any legal requirement
that such communications be in writing.
Proprietary Rights
You acknowledge and agree that the Services, any necessary software used in connection with
the Services (if any), any aggregated data based on Content on the Services, and any Content
available or made available on the Services contain proprietary and confidential information
that is protected by applicable intellectual property and other laws. Except as expressly
permitted by applicable law or authorized by Tailgate or applicable third party service providers
or advertisers, you agree not to modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute or create derivative
works based on the Services, the software or Content available on the Services (other than
Content that you may submit), in whole or in part.
Tailgate grants you a limited, personal, revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and non-
exclusive right and license to access and use the Services; provided that you do not (and do not
allow any third party to) copy, modify, create a derivative work from, reverse engineer, reverse
assemble or otherwise attempt to discover any source code, sell, assign, sublicense, grant a
security interest in or otherwise transfer any right in the Services, except where permitted by

The term TAILGATE, the Tailgate logo, the look and feel of the Services, and all other Tailgate

Tailgate, LLC, and you may not use or display such trademarks in any manner without Tailgate’s
prior written permission. Any third-party trademarks, service marks, product names, company
names, or logos displayed on the Services are the property of their respective owners.
Reference to any products, services, processes or other information by name, trademark,
manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or

Tailgate reserves all rights not expressly granted hereunder.
Claims of Infringement
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who
believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.
Tailgate also reviews claims of trademark infringement. If you believe in good faith that
materials hosted by Tailgate infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent)
may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The
notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b)
identification of the copyrighted work or trademark claimed to have been infringed (or, if
multiple copyrighted works or trademarks located on the Services are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed
to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to
allow Tailgate to locate the material on the Services; (d) the name, address, telephone number,
and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining
party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not
authorized by the copyright or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement that
the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the
complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed. Please be advised that Tailgate will not respond to complaints that do not
meet these requirements. We may share your information with third parties when we forward
DMCA compliant notifications, which will be forwarded as submitted to us without any
deletions. If Tailgate determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or
trademark rights do not require removal, Tailgate will remove those materials only pursuant to
a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed
against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include
the following information: (a) your name, address, and telephone number; (b) the source of the
content that was removed; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith
belief that the content was removed in error; (d) a statement that you consent to the
jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located; or,
if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Tailgate may be
found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original
complaint; and (e) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).
Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services must meet the then-current statutory
requirements imposed by the DMCA (see https://copyright.gov/title17/92appb.html) and
should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor
before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there may be penalties for false
claims under the DMCA.

Notice for California Users
Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following specific
consumer rights notice: If you have a complaint regarding the Services that you think we have
not adequately resolve, the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of
the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 N. Market
Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
Dispute Resolution
The sections below concerning arbitration, class-action waiver, exception, third day right to opt
out and time limitation of claims do not apply to users who live in the European Union.
Arbitration
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement
directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating
a lawsuit or arbitration. Except for disputes relating to the Tailgate’s intellectual property (such
as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents) or if you opt
out of this agreement to arbitrate, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement and
your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in
accordance with its provisions and procedures for consumer-related disputes, excluding any
rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any court or
agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void
or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a
court; provided, however, that the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages,
remedies, or awards that conflict with this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding
on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the
extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Tailgate will pay the
additional cost. You and Tailgate hereby expressly waive trial by jury. You also agree not to
participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or
consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if Tailgate is a party to the proceeding.
This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue
in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of
arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more
limited in arbitration than in court.
Class-Action Waiver
The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities
only, and not as a class action or other representative action. If any court or arbitrator
determines that the class-action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any
reason, or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set
forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to
have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
Exception—Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims
Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party
may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that
court’s jurisdiction.
Thirty-Day Right to Opt Out
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration- and class-action-waiver
provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the
following address: Tailgate, LLC, 400 West Elm Street #215, Conshohocken, PA 19428, USA.
The notice must be sent within 30 days of registering to use the Services; otherwise, you shall
be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of these
arbitration provisions, Tailgate also will not be bound by them. In addition, if you elect to opt
out of these arbitration provisions, Tailgate may terminate your use of the Services.
Time Limitation on Claims
You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with
Tailgate and these Terms must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your
claim is permanently barred.
Choice of Law and Forum
Any action related to the Terms, Content, the Services, and your relationship with Tailgate shall
be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of
California without regard to its conflict of laws principles AND WILL SPECIFICALLY NOT BE
GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
SALE OF GOODS, IF OTHERWISE APPLICABLE. Subject to the Section entitled “Dispute
Resolution”, the parties irrevocably consent to bring any action to enforce this Agreement in
the federal or state courts embracing San Francisco, California and you consent to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal or state courts embracing San Francisco, California. If any party
hereto brings any suit or action against another for relief, declaratory or otherwise, arising out
of these Terms, the prevailing party will have and recover against the other party, in addition to
all court costs and disbursements, such sum as the court may adjudge to be reasonable
attorneys’ fees. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, the parties agree that any
claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or the Terms must be
filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. This
paragraph does not apply to users who reside in the European Union.
If you are a user based in the European Union, then Irish law shall apply to these Terms and the
Irish courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear disputes arising in relation to the Terms.
Despite this, your local laws in your European Union Member State may allow you to take legal
action against Tailgate in your Member State and to invoke certain local laws against Tailgate.
Operation of the Services
The Services are provided by Tailgate, LLC. from its offices within the United States of America,
Tailgate, LLC
400 West Elm Street #215
Conshohocken, PA 19428
Tailgate makes no representation that the Content or the Services are appropriate or available
for use in other locations. Access to or use of the Content or the Services from territories where
such access or use is illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Services from
locations outside of the United States or the EU/EEA do so on their own initiative and are
responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. You may not use or export the Content in
violation of U.S. export laws and regulations.
Termination
You agree that Tailgate may, under certain serious circumstances and without prior notice,
immediately suspend or terminate your account and/or access to the Services. Cause for such
suspension or termination shall include, but not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of the
Terms or other incorporated agreements, policies or guidelines, (b) requests by law
enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by you (self-initiated account
deletions), (d) discontinuance or material modification to the Services (or any portion thereof),
(e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (f) extended periods of inactivity,
and/or (g) nonpayment of any fees owed by you in connection with the Services. In some cases,
you may have the right to appeal, for example, as described in our Acceptable Use Policy [LINK].
Termination of your account may include (x) removal of access to all offerings within the
Services, (y) deletion of your information, files and Content associated with your account, and
(z) barring of further use of the Services. Further, you agree that all suspensions or terminations
for cause shall be made in Tailgate’s sole discretion and that Tailgate shall not be liable to you
or any third party for any suspension or termination of your account or access to the Services.
The following Sections shall survive termination of your account and/or the Terms: Content and
Conduct, Clubs, Proprietary Rights, Your Feedback, Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability,
Indemnity, Choice of Law and Forum, and General.
General
You agree that no joint venture, partnership, joint controllership, employment or agency
relationship exists between you and Tailgate as a result of the Terms or your use of the
Services. The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Tailgate with respect to
your use of the Services. The failure of Tailgate to exercise or enforce any right or provision of
the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms
is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that
the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision,
and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You may not assign,
delegate or otherwise transfer your account or your obligations under these Terms without the
prior written consent of Tailgate. Tailgate has the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer or
assign all or any part of its rights under these Terms and will have the right to delegate or use
third party contractors to fulfill its duties and obligations under these Terms and in connection
with the Services. Tailgate’s notice to you via email, regular mail or notices, posts, or links on
the Services shall constitute acceptable notice to you under the Terms. A printed version of the
Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms to the same extent and subject to the same
conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in
printed form. Section titles and headings in the Terms are for convenience only and have no
legal or contractual effect. Any rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
Modification of the Terms and Services
Certain provisions of the Terms may be supplemented or superseded by expressly designated
legal notices or terms located on particular pages on the Services. Tailgate reserves the right to
update the Terms at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion. Tailgate will notify you in
advance of any material changes to the Terms. By continuing to access or use the Services after
we have provided you with notice of a modification, you are agreeing to be bound by the
modified Terms. If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease
using the Services and delete your account [LINK].
Tailgate and its third party service providers may make improvements and/or changes in the
Services, products, services, mobile applications, features, programs, and prices described at
any time and for any reason in its sole discretion. For example, the mobile application may
download and install upgrades, updates and additional features in order to improve, enhance,
and further develop the Services. Tailgate reserves the right at any time to modify or
discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services or any portion thereof with or without
notice. You agree that Tailgate shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any
modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services.

Safety tips
Meeting new people is exciting, but you should always practice caution when interacting with
someone new, particularly in a bar setting or where alcohol is consumed. Use your best
judgment and put your safety first, whether you’re posting your first message or meeting in-
person. While you can’t control the actions of others, there are things you can do to help stay
safe during your Tailgate experience.
Online safety
Never share financial information: Never send money, whether it’s through wire
transfer, banking service, or an app on your phone, even if the person claims to be in an
emergency. It can be nearly impossible to reverse these transactions or trace where the
money went. Don’t make investments or open accounts with someone you connected
with or through services or websites they recommend. Never share information that
could be used to access your financial accounts. If another user asks you for money,
report it to us immediately. For tips on avoiding scams, check out some advice from the
U.S Federal Trade Commission [LINK]
Protect your personal information: Never share personal information, such as your social
security number, home or work address, or details about your daily routine (for
example, that you go to a certain gym every Monday) with people you don’t know. If
you’re a parent, limit the information that you share about your children on your profile
and in early communications. Avoid sharing details such as images of your children, their
names, where they go to school, or their ages or genders.
Stay on the platform: Keep conversations on the Tailgate platform while you’re getting
to know someone. Because exchanges on Tailgate are subject to our Terms of Service,
users with bad intentions often try to move the conversation to text, messaging apps,
email, or phone right away.
Report all suspicious and offensive behavior: You know when someone’s crossed the
line. And when they do, we want to know about it. Report anyone that violates our
terms or your personal boundaries. Here are some examples of violations:
o Requests for money or donations
o Underage Tailgaters
o Harassment, threats, and abusive messages
o Inappropriate or harmful behavior during or after meeting in person
o Fraudulent profiles
o Spam or solicitation, including links to commercial websites or attempts to sell
products or services
You can report any concerns about suspicious behavior from any profile page or messaging
window. For more information, check out our Community Guidelines.
Meeting in-person
Take your time: Get to know people before agreeing to meet up for a Tailgate. Don’t be
afraid to ask questions to screen for any red flags or personal dealbreakers. A phone or
video call can be a useful screening tool before meeting.
Meet in public and stay in public: Meet in populated, public places — never at your
home, another user’s home, or any other private location. If someone pressures you to
go to a private location, don’t attend.
Tell friends and family about your plans: Tell a friend or family member of your plans,
including when and where you’re going. Have your cell phone charged and with you at
all times. Consider using your phone’s built-in features to share your location with
someone you trust when you attend a Tailgate.
Be in control of your transportation: We want you to be in control of how you get to and
from Tailgates so that you can leave whenever you want. If you’re driving yourself, it’s a
good idea to have a backup plan such as a ride-share app or a friend to pick you up.
Know your limits: Be aware of the effects of alcohol on you specifically — they can
impair your judgment and your alertness. If someone tries to pressure you to use drugs
or drink more than you’re comfortable with, hold your ground and leave the Tailgate.
Don’t leave drinks or personal items unattended: Know where your drinks come from
and know where it is at all times — only accept drinks poured or served directly from
the bartender or server. Many substances that are slipped into drinks to facilitate
assault are odorless, colorless, and tasteless. Also, keep your phone, purse, wallet, and
anything containing personal information on you at all times.
If you feel uncomfortable, leave: It’s okay to end Tailgates early if you’re feeling
uncomfortable. In fact, it’s encouraged. And if your instincts are telling you something is
off or you feel unsafe, ask the bartender or server for help.

Tailgate collects information about you, including information that directly or indirectly

You can download your account or delete your data using our self-service tools. To download
your data, including your activity files, follow the instructions here (LINK).
To delete your account, follow the instructions provided here (LINK). After you make an
account deletion request, we permanently and irreversibly delete your personal information
from our systems, including backups. Once deleted, your data, including your account and

days to delete your personal information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we

delete your account.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for, nor directed to, children under 13 years of age. We use
technical measures to help prevent children under 13 years of age from creating an account
and therefore do not knowingly collect personal information from anybody under 13 years of
age. If you are under 13 years of age, do not use the Services.
Moreover, we provide additional privacy and safety protections for users under 21 years of age.
For example, when users under 21 years of age create an account, their profile and activities
are set by default to be viewable by followers only and they are unable to access Messaging.
How We Protect Information
Tailgate implements measures to ensure that your information is treated securely and
consistently with the terms in this Privacy Policy. We maintain administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of your information and designed to protect
against unauthorized use, disclosure, or access to personal information.
In addition, you can take steps to protect your account and information such as creating a
unique password for Tailgate that is not easily guessed and that you don't use anywhere else,
not sharing your password with others, and promptly reporting suspicious activity or
unauthorized account access.

Privacy laws provide certain rights to users in certain jurisdictions. Below are rights that may be

Rights to Rectify, Restrict, and Delete
You have the right to rectify, restrict, or delete personal information, including by requesting
that we correct (rectify) where inaccurate, restrict, or delete your personal information on your
behalf. Note that these requests are subject to certain limitations, for example, we may retain
personal information as permitted by law, such as for tax or other record keeping purposes, to

marketing emails at any time.

withdraw that consent at any time by updating your settings. Please note, past activities will

Notice for individuals residing outside the United States
This section is specifically intended for individuals residing in certain jurisdictions outside of the
United States (“US”), such as residents of the European Economic Area ("EEA") including the
European Union ("EU"), the United Kingdom ("UK"), Switzerland, Brazil, and other relevant
jurisdictions around the world (e.g., Latin America, Middle East, Asia). Note that as a US-based
business, we are not necessarily subject to privacy and data protection laws in your jurisdiction,
but we endeavor to comply with such laws to the extent they are applicable to us.
Please see the top of this section for a list of rights we provide to you, as well as how to
exercise them.
Notice for individuals residing in certain U.S. states
Residents of certain U.S. states, such as California, Colorado, Connecticut, Oregon, Texas, Utah,
or Virginia, and Montana as of October 1, 2024, may have additional rights under your
corresponding state laws (“collectively, U.S. State Privacy Laws”). Only you or someone legally
authorized to act on your behalf may make a request related to your personal information.
Please see the top of this section for a list of rights we provide to you, as well as how to
exercise them. In addition to the description of those rights, below we provide a general
description of additional rights and disclosures about your personal information that may be
available to you under these U.S. State Privacy Laws.
Access and Portability
Under U.S. State Privacy Laws, you have the right to make a free request regarding your right to
know about the personal information we collect, use, and share two times in any 12-month
period. Provided we can validate your request, we will make the disclosure no later than 45
days of receiving your request, unless we request an extension. In the event that we reasonably
need a 45-day extension, we will notify you of the extension within the initial 45-day period.
Right to non-discrimination
You have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for the exercise of your privacy
rights under State Privacy Laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your
U.S. State Privacy Law rights.
Right to opt out of personal information sales or shares
We do not sell your personal information for monetary value. However, under certain privacy
laws, some non-monetary sharing of personal information with third parties – for example to
provide you with targeted advertising for Tailgate on other platforms – may be considered a
“sale” or “share” of personal information. To the extent such laws may consider this a sale or
share of personal information, Tailgate does not “sell” or “share” your personal information for
analytics or to serve you with targeted advertising on other platforms unless you accept non-
essential cookies using our cookie banner. We do not “sell” or “share” the personal information
of users we know are under 16 years old.
You have the right to direct us to not “sell” or “share” your personal information. If you opted
into receiving our targeted advertising using our cookie banner, you may opt out of targeted
advertising by (1) clicking the “Do Not Share My Personal Information” link in the footer below
and following the instructions; (2) clicking in our app on the “Personal Information Sharing” link
in your Privacy Controls and following the instructions; or (3) setting your cookie preferences to
deny non-essential cookies. Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least 12 months
before asking you if you want to re-opt into “sales” or “shares” of your personal information.
Right to limit the use and disclosure of sensitive information
You have the right to direct us to only use your sensitive information, such as precise
geolocation data, for limited purposes, such as providing you with the services you requested.
We obtain your express consent before processing your sensitive information and only use it to
provide the Services, in accordance with your privacy settings.
Additional Disclosures for California Residents
Financial Incentives. We do not generally provide a loyalty program or other financial incentive
in return for the collection or use of personal information. On some occasions we may engage
in a limited-time marketing event, promotional offer or discount on fees that includes a
registration or other collection of personal information, and we will disclose the benefits and
terms of that promotion at the time of collection.
Privacy rights requests for non-customers. California privacy rights apply to all individuals (not
just registered users), including job applicants, current and former employees, contractors and
business partners. Job applicants may provide contact information and resume-related
information (e.g., past education and experience) as well as complete relevant background
checks. Employees receive internal privacy disclosure relevant to them. Contractors and
business partners provide business contact information and payment-related information as
necessary to facilitate a prospective or actual business relation. Due to the nature of these
relationships, the precise collection and use of personal information can vary. All such
individuals who are California residents can request additional information about our privacy
practices with respect to their information, as well as make the access, deletion, correction and
opt-out requests described above, by contacting us as directed above. Please provide sufficient
information that we can identify you, and be aware that we may employ a more extensive
authentication process to verify your identity before responding to your request.
Do Not Track. Do Not Track (DNT) is a privacy preference you can set in most browsers but
there is no standard interpretation or practice for responding to DNT signals (see
https://allaboutdnt.com/ for more information), and we therefore handle all user information
consistent with our privacy policy.
Direct Marketing. We do not share personal information such as your contact information with
third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.
Additional Disclosures for Nevada residents
We do not “sell” personal information as defined by Nevada law (Nevada Revised Statutes,
Chapter 603A, Section 1.6). You can submit a request to us regarding the sale of such
information via the contact information above.
Cross Border Data Transfers
If you are located outside of the United States and choose to use the Services or provide
information to us, you acknowledge and understand that your information will be transferred,
processed and stored in the United States, due to the provision of Services being provided from
and data storage facilities being located in the United States.
Whenever we transfer personal information internationally, we use legal mechanisms, such as
Standard Contractual Clauses, to ensure data transfers comply with applicable law.
Retention of Information
We retain information as long as it is necessary to provide the Services subject to our legal
obligations to further retain such information. Information associated with your account will
generally be kept until it is no longer necessary to provide the Services or until your account is
deleted or becomes inactive. In making these determinations, we consider the amount, nature,
and sensitivity of the personal information, the purposes for which the personal information is
processed, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and applicable legal
requirements.
In addition, you can delete some items of information (e.g., profile information) and you can
remove individual activities from view on the Services without deleting your account. Following
your deletion of your account, it may take up to 45 days to fully delete your personal
information and system logs from our systems. Additionally, we may retain information to
comply with the law, prevent fraud, collect fees, resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems, assist
with investigations, enforce the Terms of Service and take other actions permitted by law. The
information we retain will be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Personal information that is no longer necessary and relevant to provide our Services to you
may be de-identified and aggregated with other non-personal information to provide insights
that are valuable to Tailgate, such as statistics of the use of the Services.
Privacy Policy Updates
Tailgate reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. If we make changes to this
privacy statement we will post the revised privacy statement and its effective date on this
website. If we make changes we deem to be material, we will provide prominent, advance
notice. If you object to any changes to this Privacy Policy, you should stop using the Services
and delete you account.
