Terms of Service
Version: 3.0·Last updated:
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of Scorecrypt, a wrestling program management and competition platform operated by Scorecrypt LLC ("Scorecrypt," "we," "us," or "our"). They also incorporate, by reference, the following policies, each available at scorecrypt.com:
- Privacy Policy
- COPPA Notice to Parents
- Data Retention Schedule
- Cookies & Local Storage
- SafeSport Compliance Overview
- DMCA Policy
- Founding Member Terms (applies only if you purchased under that offer)
By creating an account, paying for a subscription, accepting a free trial, or otherwise accessing the Scorecrypt service (the "Service"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
If you purchased under the Founding Member offer, those terms supplement these Terms and, where there is a direct conflict, control for the Year 1 period of your subscription.
1. Who can use Scorecrypt
1.1 Age. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account on your own behalf. Users under 18 may use the Service only through an Organization account, with the consent of a parent or legal guardian. Users under 13 are subject to additional protections described in our COPPA Notice to Parents.
1.2 Authority to bind an Organization.If you sign up on behalf of a wrestling program, school, club, district, booster organization, or any other entity (an "Organization"), you represent that you have authority to bind the Organization to these Terms. The Organization is the contracting party. The individual who registers is the Organization's initial administrator and may designate additional administrators within the Service.
1.3 Geography. The Service is offered only to Organizations located in the United States. We do not direct the Service to users outside the United States and we do not knowingly accept registrations from EU, UK, or other jurisdictions with cross-border data transfer restrictions.
1.4 Sanctions and export. You may not use the Service if you are listed on a U.S. government sanctions list, located in a country subject to a comprehensive U.S. embargo, or otherwise prohibited from receiving U.S.-origin software or services under applicable law.
2. The Service
Scorecrypt is a multi-tenant SaaS platform for competitive wrestling programs. Capabilities include team and roster management with weight class tracking, practice and event scheduling, SafeSport-compliant messaging between coaches and athletes and parents/guardians, live match scoring, match video capture and review, performance analytics, tournament operations, and a parent and guardian portal.
Specific feature availability depends on your subscription tier. Current tier scope is described on our Pricing and Features pages. We will continue to evolve the Service. We may add, change, deprecate, or remove features over time. Material reductions in functionality affecting paid features are addressed in Section 16.
3. Accounts
3.1 One account per individual. Each individual user must have their own account. Credentials may not be shared. You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account.
3.2 Accurate information. You agree to provide and maintain accurate registration information, including a working email address and, for billing contacts, accurate payment information.
3.3 Account security. You are responsible for keeping your password secure. Notify security@scorecrypt.com promptly of any suspected unauthorized access.
3.4 Organization administrators. Administrators can manage rosters, billing, messaging configuration, and user roles for the Organization. Scorecrypt is entitled to rely on instructions and configuration changes made by an Organization administrator as authorized acts of the Organization.
3.5 Roles. Within an Organization, users are assigned roles (such as Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Athletic Director, Athlete, Parent or Guardian, Official). Roles determine what a user can see and do, including under the SafeSport messaging rules described in Section 9. Organizations are responsible for assigning roles correctly and keeping them current.
4. Subscriptions and billing
4.1 Plans and tiers
Subscriptions are sold in three tiers (Core, Plus, Complete). Current prices and feature scope are on the Pricing page. We may change prices for new subscriptions at any time, and for existing subscriptions at renewal as described in Section 4.6.
4.2 Billing cycles
You may select either of two billing cycles at purchase:
- Annual. A single charge for a 12-month subscription term, billed at the published annual rate.
- Monthly with a 12-month commitment. A monthly charge for 12 consecutive months at the published monthly rate. The total amount payable across the 12-month commitment is disclosed at checkout. By selecting monthly billing, you commit to the full 12-month term. The in-product cancellation control for monthly-with-commitment subscriptions is unlocked in the final month of the committed term. You may not cancel a monthly-with-commitment subscription before then, and partial-term cancellations do not entitle you to a refund of paid months or a release from remaining monthly charges. Failed payments are handled under Section 4.5.
4.3 Payment processing
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. Stripe's terms and privacy policy apply to its handling of payment information. Scorecrypt does not store full payment card numbers. By providing a payment method, you authorize Scorecrypt and Stripe to charge that method for amounts due under your subscription, including renewals, taxes, retry attempts on failed payments, and any past-due balance.
4.4 Taxes
Listed prices are exclusive of applicable sales, use, VAT, GST, or similar transaction taxes. Stripe will calculate and collect applicable taxes at checkout where required. You are responsible for any tax obligations imposed on you or your Organization.
4.5 Failed payments
If a charge fails, we will retry the charge and notify the billing contact on file. If a payment remains unpaid 15 days past its due date, we may suspend Service access for the Organization. If a payment remains unpaid 30 days past its due date, we may terminate the subscription. Suspension or termination for non-payment does not release the Organization from amounts owed for the remainder of a committed term.
4.6 Auto-renewal
Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each term at the then-current published rate for your selected tier.
- Annual subscriptions renew for another 12-month term on the anniversary of your first paid start date.
- Monthly-with-commitment subscriptions renew for another 12-month committed term at the end of the prior term.
We will send a renewal notice to the billing email on file at least 30 days before each renewal. The notice will state the renewal date, the renewal price for the upcoming term, and how to cancel.
To avoid renewal, cancel through the in-product cancellation control, or email hello@scorecrypt.com, at least one (1) calendar day before the renewal date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid term.
4.7 30-day free trial
We offer a 30-day fully functional free trial in lieu of refunds.
- No payment method is required to start a trial. You will not be charged during the trial.
- The trial includes the features of the tier you select for evaluation purposes.
- The trial automatically expires 30 days after activation. At that point, your account moves to a paused state with no Service access until you add a payment method and confirm a paid subscription. There is no automatic conversion to a paid subscription.
- Your Organization data is preserved for 30 days after trial expiration to allow you to convert to a paid subscription without losing your work. After this 30-day preservation window, your Organization data will be deleted, except for records we are required to retain by law (see Section 14 and our Data Retention Schedule).
- The 30-day free trial is available once per Organization. Repeat trials for the same program, or trials created to circumvent this limit, are not permitted.
4.8 No refunds
Subscription fees are non-refundable, subject to the two exceptions stated below. The 30-day free trial is the primary mechanism by which prospective customers evaluate the Service.
- Except as set out in the two exceptions below, we do not offer full or pro-rata refunds for unused time, downgrades, periods of non-use, account suspensions for breach, or terminations for cause.
- We do not offer refunds for changes in feature scope, beta feature discontinuations, or routine product evolution.
Exception 1: 30-day money-back guarantee. If you request a refund in writing to hello@scorecrypt.com within thirty (30) calendar days of the date you complete payment for a new paid subscription, we will refund the full subscription fee paid for that subscription term. The 30-day window starts on the date of the first charge for that paid subscription term and is not reset by renewals, plan changes, or downgrades. The 30-day guarantee does not apply to subscriptions terminated for cause under the Acceptable Use Policy.
Exception 2: voluntary service discontinuation. If Scorecrypt voluntarily and permanently discontinues the entire Service in a manner that prevents you from receiving substantive benefits during a paid term, we will refund the unused portion of that term on a pro-rata basis.
4.9 Cancellation
You may cancel a subscription at any time, subject to the 12-month commitment rule for monthly-with-commitment subscriptions described in Section 4.2. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current paid term. You retain Service access through the end of that term. After the term ends, the subscription will not renew and access to the Service will end.
4.10 Founding Member offer
If you purchased under the Founding Member offer, your Year 1 pricing is governed by the Founding Member Terms. After Year 1, your subscription auto-renews at the then-current published rate for your tier under these Terms. All other provisions of these Terms apply to Founding Member subscriptions, except where the Founding Member Terms expressly state otherwise for the Year 1 period.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Harm minors or engage in conduct that exploits, sexualizes, harms, or attempts to exploit or harm minors in any way.
- Harass, abuse, threaten, or intimidate any user, including coaches, athletes, parents, officials, or staff.
- Circumvent safety features, including by attempting to bypass parent auto-inclusion in messaging, content moderation, audit logging, or any other SafeSport safeguard.
- Violate applicable law, including child protection laws, state and federal privacy laws, education record laws (FERPA, SOPPA), anti-doping rules, and the rules of governing wrestling organizations.
- Provide false information about your identity, affiliation, age, certifications, or authority to bind an Organization.
- Access without authorization any account, data, or system that is not yours, including data belonging to other Organizations on the Service.
- Reverse engineer, scrape, or replicate the Service or any portion of it, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite a contractual prohibition.
- Upload malwareor any code intended to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or to any user's device or data.
- Send spam or unsolicited bulk communications through the Service, or use the messaging features for any purpose other than legitimate program operations.
- Resell, sublicense, or repackage the Service to third parties, except as expressly authorized by Scorecrypt in writing.
- Use the Service to train AI or machine-learning models belonging to you or any third party, or to extract data for that purpose.
Violation of this Section 5 may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account and Organization subscription, may be reported to law enforcement where required, and may give rise to claims by Scorecrypt for damages or injunctive relief.
6. Your content
6.1 Ownership.As between you and Scorecrypt, your Organization retains ownership of all content submitted to the Service by your Organization or its users, including roster information, athlete profiles, messages, video, statistics, schedules, practice plans, and any other data ("Customer Content").
6.2 License to operate the Service. You grant Scorecrypt a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, display, process, and create derivative works of Customer Content solely as necessary to:
- Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service for you
- Provide support and respond to your requests
- Generate aggregated and de-identified analytics that do not identify any individual or Organization
- Comply with legal obligations, lawful requests from authorities, and our retention obligations
- Enforce these Terms
This license terminates with respect to active use when your subscription ends, except for the limited continuing uses described in Sections 14 (Data retention) and 19 (Suspension and termination).
6.3 Your responsibility for Customer Content. You represent that you have the rights necessary to submit Customer Content to the Service, that submission does not violate any third-party right or applicable law, and that consent has been obtained where required (including parental consent for minor data and consent for video capture where applicable).
6.4 Safety-related retention. Customer Content related to safety incidents, mandatory reports, audit logs, SafeSport flagged content, and similar compliance records is retained according to our Data Retention Schedule and cannot be deleted on request, even after subscription termination, except where deletion is required by law.
7. AI features and customer data
The Service uses automated content moderation and similar AI-assisted features to support SafeSport compliance and platform integrity ("AI Features").
7.1 What AI Features do. AI Features may automatically scan messages and other Customer Content for indicators of child safety risk, abuse, harassment, grooming patterns, prohibited content, and threats. Flagged content may be reviewed by trained Scorecrypt personnel, escalated under our mandatory-reporting workflow, retained for audit and compliance, and used to take action on accounts in accordance with these Terms.
7.2 What we do not do with Customer Content. Scorecrypt does not use Customer Content to train, fine-tune, or improve generative AI models for the benefit of any third party or for any purpose unrelated to operating the Service. Specifically:
- We do not sell, rent, or share Customer Content with any third-party AI provider for that provider's model training.
- We do not use Customer Content involving minors for AI model training of any kind.
- Where we use third-party AI providers as part of the Service (for example, classification or moderation models), our agreements with those providers prohibit them from using Customer Content for their own model training, and require deletion of Customer Content from their systems on Scorecrypt's instruction.
7.3 Service improvement. We may use aggregated, de-identified data derived from the Service to operate, secure, debug, and improve the Service. Aggregated data does not identify any individual user, athlete, parent, coach, or Organization and is not Customer Content.
7.4 No guarantee. AI Features assist with safety and compliance. They do not replace human judgment, supervision, training, screening, or mandatory reporting obligations.
8. Privacy
Our handling of personal data is governed by our Privacy Policy, COPPA Notice to Parents, and, for school customers, the terms described in Section 11. By using the Service, you confirm that you have read those documents and that, where required, you have obtained parental or guardian consent for processing the data of users under 18.
9. SafeSport, child safety, and mandatory reporting
Scorecrypt's messaging and communication features are designed to support compliance with the SafeSport Act and the U.S. Center for SafeSport's Minor Athlete Abuse Prevention Policies (MAAPP), as updated from time to time. The following safeguards are enforced by the Service:
- Parent auto-inclusion. Every electronic message from an Adult Participant to a Minor Athlete automatically includes at least one additional adult (a parent or guardian, or another Adult Participant). This protection is enforced at the database level. There is no bypass.
- Observable and interruptible. Electronic communications between adults and minors are designed to be observable and interruptible in line with SafeSport guidance.
- Content moderation. Messages are automatically analyzed by safety detection systems. Flagged messages may be reviewed by Scorecrypt personnel and escalated.
- Time-of-day controls.Messages sent outside 6:00 AM through 10:00 PM in the recipient's local time will generate a warning to the sender. Emergency override is available with documentation.
- Immutable audit logs. All messages, role changes, consent records, and safety actions are logged with hash-verified audit trails retained as described in our Data Retention Schedule.
- Close-in-age exception. Athletes within four (4) years of age may communicate without additional adult inclusion, consistent with MAAPP guidance.
By using the messaging features, your Organization acknowledges that:
- Legal duty. Your Organization and its designated staff have a legal duty under federal and state law to report suspected child abuse and neglect. This duty exists independent of any software you use.
- The Service facilitates, it does not replace. Scorecrypt provides tools to support your mandatory reporting obligations, including state-specific deadline timers, state hotline information and agency contacts, written follow-up tracking, and report documentation. Scorecrypt does not file reports on behalf of any Organization.
- Designated reporters required. Your Organization must designate at least one mandatory reporter with messaging-system access before enabling messaging features that involve minors.
- No liability transfer. Failure to use the tools provided by Scorecrypt does not transfer liability for failure to report from your Organization to Scorecrypt.
10. Platform versus Organization responsibilities
The following table delineates Scorecrypt's responsibilities (as the Platform) and your Organization's responsibilities. The Service enforces technical safeguards; human judgment, supervision, training, and reporting decisions remain with the Organization.
| Scorecrypt provides | Organization is responsible for |
|---|---|
| SafeSport-compliant messaging infrastructure | User screening and verification |
| Database-level parent auto-inclusion (no bypass) | SafeSport training verification for coaches and staff |
| AI content moderation and flagging | Background check completion tracking |
| Mandatory reporting workflow with state timers | Mandatory reporting decisions (human judgment) |
| Immutable audit trails with hash verification | Incident response and follow-up decisions |
| Data retention per applicable compliance schedules | Designating mandatory reporters |
| Technical safeguards (encryption, RLS, access controls) | Adopting MAAPP-compliant policies |
| State-specific hotline and deadline reference data | Coach, staff, and volunteer supervision |
| Service uptime efforts and incident communication | Accurate roster and parent/guardian contact data |
11. Schools, districts, and education records
If you are a school, school district, or other education agency, or if you process student records through the Service, additional requirements apply.
11.1 FERPA.Where the Service processes "education records" within the meaning of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, Scorecrypt acts as a "school official" with a "legitimate educational interest" performing institutional services that would otherwise be performed by employees of the school. Scorecrypt is under the direct control of the school with respect to the use and maintenance of education records and uses such records only as authorized by these Terms and by the school.
11.2 Illinois SOPPA.For Illinois public schools and contracted entities subject to the Student Online Personal Protection Act (SOPPA, 105 ILCS 85), Scorecrypt operates as the school's vendor and:
- Will not sell, rent, or trade student data
- Will not use student data for targeted advertising
- Will not use student data to build a non-educational profile of a student
- Will execute Illinois SOPPA-compliant Data Processing Agreement language on request
- Will publish the categories of student data collected through the Service in the Privacy Policy
- Will respond to data subject requests within the SOPPA-required time periods
11.3 Other state student privacy laws. Scorecrypt will comply with applicable state student privacy laws for school customers, including California SOPIPA-style requirements where applicable.
11.4 Data Processing Addendum.A separate Scorecrypt Data Processing Addendum ("DPA") is available on request from a school, district, or other education-agency customer. A signed DPA, when executed, supplements these Terms and, in the event of conflict with these Terms regarding the processing of student personal information, the signed DPA controls.
11.5 Purchasing flexibility. Scorecrypt accepts purchase orders, district procurement workflows, and similar institutional purchasing methods. Contact hello@scorecrypt.com before checkout to coordinate.
12. Third-party services
The Service relies on third-party providers including Stripe (payments), Supabase (database and authentication infrastructure), Vercel (hosting), Resend (transactional email), Sentry (error monitoring), and Statsig (feature configuration and analytics). Each operates under its own terms and privacy policies. Use of those providers in connection with the Service is subject to their terms, in addition to these Terms.
Scorecrypt is not responsible for the acts or omissions of third-party providers that are outside Scorecrypt's reasonable control. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to select reputable providers and to manage them in support of the Service.
13. Beta and pre-release features
From time to time we may make features available on a beta, alpha, preview, or early-access basis ("Beta Features"). Beta Features are identified as such in the Service or in our communications.
Beta Features are provided "as is" and "as available." They may be incomplete, may not function as expected, may be paused or discontinued at any time without notice, and are not covered by any service availability commitment in these Terms. Use of Beta Features is at your discretion and risk. Feedback you provide on Beta Features is governed by Section 17.
14. Data retention
Customer Content and account records are retained according to the schedule published in our Data Retention Schedule.
Categories with mandatory legal retention periods (including messages involving minors, safety incident records, mandatory report records, COPPA consent records, and audit logs) are retained for the periods stated in that schedule even after subscription termination, account closure, or deletion request.
Categories without mandatory retention obligations will be deleted after a reasonable wind-down period following termination, as further described in Section 19.
15. Intellectual property
The Service, including its design, look and feel, software, code, models, configurations, documentation, content (other than Customer Content), and trademarks, is the property of Scorecrypt or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited rights to use the Service expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, create derivative works of, or reverse engineer any portion of the Service, except to the limited extent that applicable law expressly permits despite a contractual prohibition.
16. Service availability
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Service available. We do not offer a contractual service-level commitment, uptime guarantee, or response-time guarantee at this time. We may schedule maintenance windows, perform emergency maintenance, and address incidents as needed. We will communicate planned maintenance and significant incidents in advance where practical.
We may modify, change, suspend, or discontinue features of the Service over time. Material reductions in functionality of paid features that result in a substantive loss of value during a paid term are addressed by the discontinuation refund exception in Section 4.8.
17. Feedback
If you submit suggestions, ideas, feature requests, or other feedback about the Service, you grant Scorecrypt a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and exploit that feedback for any purpose, without obligation, attribution, or compensation to you.
18. DMCA
Scorecrypt complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Our notice-and-takedown procedures and designated agent for copyright complaints are described in our DMCA Policy.
19. Suspension and termination
19.1 By you. You may cancel a subscription under Section 4.9. You may close an account by contacting hello@scorecrypt.com or using the in-product account closure control.
19.2 By Scorecrypt.We may suspend or terminate your account, your Organization's subscription, or the entire Service at any time, with or without notice, for:
- Violation of these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy in Section 5
- Non-payment as described in Section 4.5
- Conduct that we reasonably believe creates a risk of harm to minors, other users, the Service, or Scorecrypt
- Compliance with law, court order, or government request
- Fraud, misrepresentation, or abuse of the Service
- Discontinuation of the Service
19.3 Effect on data. On termination, retention obligations described in Section 14 continue to apply. Customer Content not subject to a retention obligation will be deleted after a wind-down period following termination, with reasonable opportunity for the Organization to export non-retained data, except where the termination was for cause and immediate suspension is warranted.
19.4 Survival. Sections 5 (Acceptable use, as to acts during the term), 6 (Your content, as to retained content), 7 (AI Features, as to retained content), 14 (Data retention), 15 (Intellectual property), 17 (Feedback), 20 (Disclaimers), 21 (Limitation of liability), 22 (Indemnification), 23 (Governing law and disputes), 24 (Changes), 26 (General), and any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination, will survive.
20. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SCORECRYPT DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
SAFETY TOOLS ARE TOOLS, NOT GUARANTEES. Scorecrypt provides features intended to support child safety and SafeSport compliance. We do not guarantee that the Service will detect, prevent, or stop all harmful conduct, that every flagged content review will identify every concern, or that the Service will be free of errors, omissions, or unavailability.
NOT LEGAL OR REGULATORY ADVICE. Information surfaced by the Service, including state-specific hotline references, reporting deadlines, and rule references, is for convenience only and is not legal advice. You are responsible for confirming current legal requirements with qualified counsel and with the appropriate authorities.
21. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:
21.1 No indirect damages. SCORECRYPT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
21.2 Cap.SCORECRYPT'S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOUR ORGANIZATION TO SCORECRYPT FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

23. Governing law and disputes
23.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
23.2 Mandatory individual arbitration.Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service ("Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration will be seated in Lake County, Illinois. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
23.3 Jury and class action waiver. YOU AND SCORECRYPT EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis.

24. Changes to these Terms
We may revise these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice by email to the billing or administrator address on file, by in-product notice, or by posting the updated Terms with an updated "Last Updated" date. For non-material changes (such as clarifications, typo corrections, formatting updates, or contact-information changes), we may update these Terms without advance notice.
Continued use of the Service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service. Your sole remedy for a material change you do not accept is to cancel under Section 4.9. The no-refund policy in Section 4.8 continues to apply, except for the discontinuation exception expressly stated there.

26.2 Order of precedence.

26.3 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while preserving its intent.
26.4 Waiver. A failure to enforce a provision of these Terms is not a waiver of the right to enforce it later. Waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.
26.5 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment without consent is void. Scorecrypt may assign these Terms, in whole or in part, without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.
