Terms of Use

Agreement to these terms

By creating a captain account, purchasing a season, or using LaneCaptain, you agree to these terms. If you act for a team, you confirm that you are authorized to manage that team's LaneCaptain workspace.

Team license

One LaneCaptain Season purchase covers one team, up to six active bowlers, and 36 league weeks. A single purchase may not be used to operate multiple teams or resold to another person.

Beta access

Beta access is free, limited, and subject to approval. Unless LaneCaptain approves an extension, one beta team receives six played weeks; a week without recorded bowling does not use that allowance. Short weekly feedback may be skipped, but a final beta wrap-up is required when the sixth played week is complete.

When beta access ends, the workspace becomes read-only and the team's history remains available. Beta access does not automatically convert to a paid service or create a charge. LaneCaptain may extend, deny, or revoke beta access, and a captain may separately purchase a full season.

Captain responsibility

The captain is responsible for the account, the information entered into LaneCaptain, and deciding who receives the permanent team code and player PINs. Captains are also responsible for the accuracy of names, scores, handicaps, schedules, and other league information they enter.

Payments and renewal

LaneCaptain Season is a one-time purchase processed by Stripe. It does not automatically renew. Any discount is shown before payment, and a future season requires a separate purchase.

There is no recurring subscription to cancel. Access ends when the purchased 36-week season is finished; opening another season requires a new one-time purchase.

Refunds

Purchases are subject to the published Refund Policy. All sales are final except where a refund is required by law or LaneCaptain determines that a duplicate or incorrect charge occurred.

Acceptable use

Do not use LaneCaptain unlawfully, attempt to access another team without permission, interfere with the service, introduce malicious code, or copy, resell, reverse engineer, or misuse the software.

Service availability

LaneCaptain may change or improve features over time. The service is provided on an as-available basis, and interruptions may occur for maintenance, security, provider outages, or events outside LaneCaptain's control. Captains should keep exported backups of information that is especially important to their team.

League records and legal rights

LaneCaptain is a team organization and entertainment tool, not a bowling association or official league authority. Captains remain responsible for confirming official scores, standings, and league rules. Nothing in these terms limits a right or remedy that applicable law does not allow LaneCaptain to waive.

Changes and termination

LaneCaptain may suspend access used unlawfully or in a way that threatens another team or the service. Material changes to these terms will be posted here with an updated effective date.
