("Maylay," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the Maylay mobile application and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms in their entirety. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

1. Definitions

"App" means the Maylay mobile application available on iOS and Android.
"Content" means any text, images, video, audio, profile data, game posts, chat messages, or other material submitted to, published on, or transmitted through the Service.
"User" or "you" means any individual who creates an account or accesses the Service.
"Game" or "Pickup Game" means any in-person or virtual sports event created, listed, or organized through the Service.
"Match" or "Partner" means another User identified by the Service as a potential playing partner.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading the App, creating an account, or using any feature of the Service, you represent that:

You have read, understood, and agree to these Terms;
You meet the eligibility requirements in Section 3;
You have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract; and
If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of an organization, you have authority to bind that organization.

Your continued use of the Service after we post updated Terms constitutes acceptance of those changes, subject to the notice period in Section 26.

3. Eligibility

Minimum Age. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17, you may use the Service only with the permission of a parent or legal guardian who has reviewed these Terms and agrees to them on your behalf, and that parent or guardian is responsible for your use of the Service. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn that a user is under 13, we will immediately delete that account and its data. Report concerns to support@maylay.org.

Age Assurance. We ask for your date of birth when you create an account and, where your device supports it, we also request the age range associated with your Apple Account or Google Play account (Apple's Declared Age Range API and Google Play's Age Signals API). We use these only to confirm that you meet the minimum age and to apply the age-based rules in these Terms; they are never shown to other Users. Misrepresenting your age is grounds for termination.

Geographic Restrictions. The Service is intended for use in the United States.

Accurate Information. You represent that all registration information you provide is truthful, accurate, current, and complete.

4. Account Registration and Security

You agree to provide accurate registration information. You may not create more than one account. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and all activity under your account. Your account may not be sold, transferred, or licensed to any third party.

5. Community Standards and Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Service to:

Harmful Conduct — Harass, bully, threaten, stalk, or abuse any User; post defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, hateful, or violent content; or impersonate any person.
Violence — Organize fights, violent encounters, or any unsafe or reckless event.
Fraudulent Activity — Post fake games, fraudulent training camps, or fictitious events; collect payment for events you do not intend to host; misrepresent products or equipment for sale or trade; or use the platform for unauthorized commercial transactions or spam.
Illegal Activity — Facilitate illegal activity, sell drugs or illegal substances, arrange sexually explicit or unlawful gatherings, or upload infringing content.
Platform Abuse — Use bots or scrapers, attempt unauthorized access to accounts or systems, circumvent or interfere with security features, or post content designed to game algorithmic rankings.

Photo and Video Content Standards. Maylay is a sports community, and every photo and video you upload — in a post, a Persona story, your Locker, a chat, a game or venue image, or your profile — must show sports. Only sanctioned sporting events or training footage are permitted. Street fights, un-sanctioned brawls, or graphic violence will result in an immediate permanent ban. For these purposes, a sanctioned sporting event is any lawful, consensual athletic activity played under the rules of a recognized sport — league and tournament play, pickup games, scrimmages, practices, drills, lessons, and training sessions — whether or not an official is present, together with you, your teammates, your equipment, and your venue in that sports context.

The following is prohibited everywhere on the Service, in photos, video, live streams, thumbnails, captions, and audio alike:

Fights and brawls — Street fights, staged or "challenge" fights, fight-club style content, hazing, and any real-world altercation, including one that breaks out during or after a game. Regulated combat sports (boxing, wrestling, martial arts, MMA) are permitted only when conducted under the rules of that sport with officials and safety protections in place.
Graphic violence — Gore, blood or serious injury shown for shock value, cruelty to people or animals, death, and any content that glorifies, celebrates, or encourages violence.
Sexual content — Nudity, pornography, sexual acts, sexual solicitation, sexually suggestive or fetish content, and any sexual or sexualized depiction of a minor, which we preserve and report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement as required by law. Ordinary athletic attire in a sports setting is fine.
Hate — Slurs, hate speech, and hateful symbols or gestures targeting race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, caste, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
Self-harm and dangerous acts — Promotion of self-harm, suicide, or eating disorders, and stunts or "challenges" likely to cause serious injury.
Weapons, drugs, and regulated goods — Firearms or other weapons displayed in a threatening manner, illegal drugs or drug use, and the sale or promotion of controlled substances, weapons, or other regulated goods.
Privacy and harassment — Media posted to shame, threaten, mock, or expose an identifiable person; anyone filmed in a private setting or state of undress without consent, including in locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms; and the private information of another person (see Section 32).
Synthetic and misleading media — Deepfakes, AI-generated or edited media presented as real, and edits that place a real person in a fight, a sexual situation, or any defamatory context.
Content you have no right to share — Rebroadcasts or clips of professional, collegiate, or televised events you did not record and are not licensed to post; copyrighted music; and other people's photos or video reposted without permission (see Section 19).
Spam and scams — Unsolicited advertising, affiliate or referral bait, misleading thumbnails, and media whose purpose is to drive Users off the Service or into a fraudulent transaction (see Section 33).

Enforcement. Photos and video thumbnails are scanned automatically before they are shown to other Users, and every User can report media from inside the App. Media that violates these standards is removed and the account that posted it is permanently banned on the first offense — no warning and no reinstatement — and we may preserve the content and report it to law enforcement. We may also remove media that technically complies with these standards but is, in our judgment, objectionable, unsafe, or unrelated to sports.

Zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Maylay does not tolerate objectionable content or abusive behavior on the Service. We filter content automatically before it is published, every User can report content or another User from inside the App, and we review reports and act on them — removing the content, suspending the account, or terminating it — within 24 hours.

How to report. Tap the ⋯ or flag control on any post, comment, message, or profile to report it. Reports are confidential: the person you report is never told who reported them. You can also block any User, which removes their content from your experience, and you can email support@maylay.org.

Violations may result in immediate account suspension or permanent termination without notice. We may report violations to law enforcement.

6. Nature of the Service

Maylay is solely a technology platform that connects individuals interested in participating in pickup sports activities. Maylay:

Does NOT organize, supervise, operate, sponsor, host, or control any games, matches, leagues, tournaments, or events.
Does NOT provide referees, officials, coaches, trainers, security personnel, or medical staff.
Does NOT provide equipment or facilities.
Does NOT guarantee the safety, conduct, identity, background, or skill level of any User.

All activities arranged through Maylay are independently organized and voluntarily attended by Users. Your decision to participate is entirely your own. We do not conduct background checks or identity verification beyond self-reporting.

7. Safety Disclaimer and Assumption of Risk

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You acknowledge that sports and recreational activities involve inherent and significant risks, including but not limited to:

Bodily injury (minor or severe)
Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
Sprains, fractures, and broken bones
Paralysis
Heat stroke or dehydration
Permanent disability
Emotional distress
Property damage
Death

You further acknowledge risks arising from:

Negligence or misconduct of other participants
Unsafe or poorly maintained facilities
Lack of supervision
Improper or defective equipment
Physical contact with other participants
Weather conditions
Transportation to and from events
Criminal, reckless, or harmful acts of third parties

You voluntarily and knowingly assume ALL risks associated with any activity, game, or interaction arranged through the Service. You are solely responsible for exercising your own safety judgment. We strongly encourage meeting new partners in public places and taking appropriate safety precautions.

8. Equipment and Personal Responsibility

You agree that:

You are solely responsible for bringing and using proper, sport-appropriate equipment.
You will inspect all facilities and equipment before use.
You will not participate while impaired by drugs or alcohol.
You will not participate if you have a medical condition that makes participation unsafe.
You are solely responsible for determining your physical fitness and capability.
Maylay makes NO representations or warranties regarding safety conditions.

9. Release and Waiver of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU HEREBY RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE MAYLAY SPORTS INC., ITS FOUNDERS, OWNERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS (THE "RELEASED PARTIES") FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, COSTS, OR EXPENSES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO:

Personal injury
Death
Property damage
Emotional distress
Assaults or fights between Users
Negligent acts or omissions
Third-party conduct
Use of the Service
Participation in any activity arranged through the Service

This release applies whether caused by negligence or otherwise, except where prohibited by law.

10. Covenant Not to Sue

You expressly agree that you will NOT file any lawsuit, claim, or legal proceeding against Maylay or the Released Parties for any injury, loss, or damage arising from participation in any activity arranged through the Service, except as permitted under Section 24 (Dispute Resolution).

11. Medical Disclaimer

Maylay does not provide medical advice. You are solely responsible for consulting a licensed physician before engaging in physical activity.

12. Transportation Disclaimer

Maylay is not responsible for transportation arrangements, ridesharing, or travel to and from events.

13. Monitoring and Moderation

We screen Content automatically. Text is filtered before it is published, photos and video thumbnails are scanned before they are shown to other Users, and we act on every report we receive as described in Section 5. Automated filtering is not perfect and does not catch everything, and we do not pre-read private conversations.

Automated systems and AI. Some of this screening, and some other features of the Service, rely on automated systems including third-party artificial-intelligence models. Images and video thumbnails you upload are scanned by an automated moderation service before other Users see them; the text of a post may be processed to generate or update its description and category labels; the in-app help assistant generates answers from the questions you type; and message and post text may be machine-translated as described in Section 32. These systems make mistakes. If content of yours is removed or your account is actioned by an automated decision and you believe it is wrong, you may ask for review by a person by writing to support@maylay.org. Our Privacy Policy describes what is sent to these providers.

Except for the reporting commitment in Section 5, Maylay has no general obligation to monitor Users, events, or communications. We reserve the right — but, outside that commitment, not the duty — to remove Users or Content at our discretion.

14. User Content

You retain ownership of all original Content you submit. By submitting Content, you grant Maylay Sports Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that Content solely for operating and promoting the Service.

You represent and warrant that your Content does not infringe any third-party rights and complies with these Terms and all applicable laws.

This license ends when you delete the Content or your account, except that: (a) messages you sent to other Users remain in their chat threads, stripped of your identifying information; and (b) Content may persist in residual encrypted backups for up to 90 days, as described in our Privacy Policy.

15. Privacy

Your use of the Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. You can open the Privacy Policy from the link on this screen, or in the App under About > Privacy Policy.

By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described there, including location data, profile information, photos, device identifiers, video/audio data (processed by Agora, Inc.), and crash data (processed by Sentry, Inc.).

You acknowledge that if you grant the App location permission, your exact location is shared with other signed-in Users by default, together with your availability status, the sports you are open to playing, and any status note you write, as described in the Privacy Policy. Your pin on the in-app player map is drawn at an approximate position offset by up to 0.1 miles, but your exact coordinates are shared to power the map and distance features. You may remove yourself from the player map at any time using the "Show me on the player map" switch on your Profile tab.

16. Third-Party Services

The Service is built on and integrates with third-party providers. Your use of those services is subject to their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, or practices. Current providers include:

Supabase — database, authentication, and file storage.
Agora — real-time video and audio calls.
OpenAI — automated image and text moderation, AI-assisted post descriptions, and the in-app help assistant.
DeepL — machine translation of messages and posts.
Sentry — crash and error reporting.
Expo, with Apple Push Notification service and Firebase Cloud Messaging — push notification delivery.
Twilio — SMS verification codes.
Resend — transactional email.
Mapbox and the OpenStreetMap Foundation — maps, location search, and geocoding.
Brave Search — image search.
Apple and Google — app distribution, age range signals, and any in-app purchases.

We may add, remove, or change providers as the Service evolves, and will keep this list and our Privacy Policy current. Links or references to third-party sites, venues, or services are not endorsements.

17. In-App Purchases and Payments

If the Service offers paid features, purchases are processed by Apple or Google under their respective payment terms and refund policies. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the billing period through your Apple ID or Google Play account settings.

Payments Between Users. The Service lets you save payment handles (such as a Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Apple Cash, PayPal, or Chime username) and share them in chats so other Users can pay you — for example, to split a court or field fee for an in-person game. These payments are made entirely outside the Service through the third-party payment app you choose, under that app's own terms. Maylay is not a party to, does not process, and is not responsible for any payment between Users; any payment dispute is solely between the Users involved. Payments connected to sales, classes, or other User Transactions are further governed by Section 33.

18. Maylay Intellectual Property

All rights in the Service remain the exclusive property of Maylay Sports Inc. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on your personal device for personal, non-commercial use only.

19. DMCA Policy

To report copyright infringement, send written notice to support@maylay.org with the subject "DMCA Takedown Request" including your signature, identification of the infringed work and infringing content, your contact information, a good-faith belief statement, and a statement under penalty of perjury as to accuracy.

Counter-notification. If your Content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to support@maylay.org including your signature, identification of the removed Content and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, your contact information, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district. We may restore the Content within 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringers. We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of Users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others.

20. Account Termination and Deletion

You may delete your account via Profile > Menu > Settings > Delete Account or by emailing support@maylay.org. We may terminate accounts for violations, harmful conduct, extended inactivity, or fraud. Violations of the Photo and Video Content Standards in Section 5 result in permanent termination on the first offense, and a permanently banned User may not create a new account.

Upon deletion, your personal data will be deleted within 30 days and residual encrypted backups within 90 days, except where retention is required by law. Accounts inactive for 24 months or more are automatically purged.

Appeals. If your account is suspended or terminated and you believe we got it wrong, you may appeal by emailing support@maylay.org within 30 days. Tell us your username and what you believe happened. A person will review the decision and respond. This does not apply where reinstatement is prohibited by these Terms, such as a permanent ban under the Photo and Video Content Standards in Section 5.

21. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAYLAY SPORTS INC. DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

22. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, MAYLAY SPORTS INC. WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PRECEDING 12 MONTHS OR $100.00.

WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, HARM, OR LOSS ARISING FROM IN-PERSON MEETINGS OR ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES ARRANGED THROUGH THE SERVICE, OR FROM THE CONDUCT OF ANY USER.

23. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Maylay Sports Inc. and the Released Parties from all claims, lawsuits, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your Content, your conduct toward other Users, any event you organize, your violation of these Terms, or your participation in any in-person activity arranged through the Service.

24. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY — THIS WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION.

Disputes must first be submitted informally to support@maylay.org for a 30-day resolution period. Unresolved disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS in Los Angeles County, California, under the JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards and Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing support@maylay.org.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court if it qualifies, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to stop unauthorized use of the Service or infringement of intellectual property. Nothing in this Section prevents you from reporting a concern to a government agency.

Arbitration procedure and fees. The arbitration will be conducted in English by a single arbitrator. You may choose to participate by phone or video, or to have the case decided on documents alone, and you may request an in-person hearing in the county where you live. Where JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards apply, we pay the arbitration filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees beyond the amount you would pay to file in court. The arbitrator may award the same individual relief a court could, and the award may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Coordinated filings. If 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed by or with the help of the same counsel, the demands will be resolved in staged batches of no more than 50, with the parties selecting the batches and a single arbitrator for each batch, and the limitations period tolled for the demands awaiting their batch.

Time limit to bring a claim. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

Severability of this Section. If the class action waiver above is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will be severed and heard in court, and the rest of this Section will remain in force.

25. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Non-arbitrated disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

26. Changes to These Terms

We will notify you of material changes to these Terms via in-app notice or email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you may delete your account before the effective date.

27. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

28. Platform-Specific Terms

Apple. Apple is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the App. Maylay Sports Inc. is solely responsible for maintenance, support, warranties, product claims, and IP infringement claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms with respect to the iOS version of the App and may enforce them against you.

Contests and Promotions. Any contest, sweepstakes, or promotion offered in the App is administered solely by Maylay Sports Inc. and is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated with Apple Inc. or Google LLC in any way. Apple is not a sponsor or involved in this contest in any manner.

Each promotion is governed by its own official rules, shown behind the "Official rules" link on the promotion itself, which control if they conflict with this Section. Unless the official rules say otherwise: no purchase or payment of any kind is necessary to enter or win, and a purchase does not improve your chance of winning; entry is open to legal residents of the United States who meet the age requirement in Section 3; employees of Maylay Sports Inc. and their immediate families are not eligible; promotions are void where prohibited or restricted by law; winners may be required to verify eligibility before a prize is awarded; prizes are non-transferable and no cash substitute is offered except at our discretion; and you are responsible for any taxes on a prize you accept.

Legal Compliance. You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms (such as your wireless data agreement) when using the App.

Google. Google is not a party to these Terms and bears no responsibility for the App. Your use of the Android version obtained through Google Play is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

29. General Provisions

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Maylay and supersede all prior agreements, including any previously accepted liability waiver. Notices may be sent to support@maylay.org. You may not assign your rights under these Terms; we may assign ours freely. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use it for any purpose without obligation or compensation to you. Feedback is not confidential.

Force majeure. We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disaster, epidemic, war, civil unrest, labor dispute, government action, network or power failure, or the failure of a third-party provider.

Survival. Sections 7 through 14 and 18 through 29 survive the termination of your account or of these Terms.

Headings and interpretation. Section headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation," and these Terms will not be construed against the drafter.

30. Acknowledgment

By creating an account, tapping "I Agree," or using Maylay, you acknowledge that:

You have read these Terms.
You fully understand their terms.
You are voluntarily giving up substantial legal rights.
You agree to be legally bound by them.

31. SMS and Text Messaging

If you provide a mobile number, Maylay sends one-time verification codes by SMS to confirm that the number belongs to you. Codes are sent when you create an account with a phone number, add or change your number, or reset your password. A message is sent only in direct response to a request you make in the App.

Maylay does not send marketing or promotional text messages. Message frequency depends on your activity; most accounts receive a single message. Message and data rates may apply.

Mobile information will not be shared with or sold to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Reply STOP to any message to stop receiving texts, START to resume, or HELP for assistance. You may also remove your number in the App under Settings > Phone & Email, or contact support@maylay.org.

32. In-App Messaging and Chat

The Service includes in-app messaging: direct messages between Users, group chats, and chats attached to games, teams, and tournaments. In-app messages are separate from the SMS verification codes described in Section 31 — they are delivered inside the App over your internet connection, and your mobile carrier does not bill you for them beyond normal data usage.

How messages are handled. Messages, attachments, reactions, and polls you send are transmitted over encrypted connections and stored on our infrastructure so that participants can read them across devices. In-app messages are NOT end-to-end encrypted. Maylay does not read private conversations in the ordinary course of business, but we may access message content where reasonably necessary to investigate a report of abuse, enforce these Terms, protect the security of the Service, resolve a technical problem, or comply with a legal obligation.

No confidentiality from recipients. Anyone you message can save, screenshot, copy, or forward what you send, and we cannot prevent that. Do not send anything through the Service that you would not want shared, including passwords, financial account details, government identification numbers, or medical information.

Messaging conduct. Section 5 applies in full to everything you send in a chat. In addition, you agree not to:

Send unsolicited commercial messages, bulk messages, spam, chain messages, or referral, investment, or cryptocurrency solicitations.
Send sexually explicit, harassing, threatening, hateful, or discriminatory messages, or keep contacting a User after they have asked you to stop or have blocked you.
Use messaging to arrange any unlawful, violent, or sexual activity, to contact anyone you know or suspect to be under 13, or to contact a User under 18 for any purpose other than arranging or discussing play.
Share another User's private information — including their phone number, address, exact location, photos, or messages — outside the conversation without their consent.
Use bots, scripts, or automated tools to send messages, or to scrape, export, or archive conversations.
Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, age, or affiliation in a conversation.

Your controls. You may block any User, which removes their messages and their content from your experience; leave or delete any conversation; delete messages you have sent; and mute or disable message notifications in the App or your device settings. To report a message, press and hold it and choose Report; to report a User, use the ⋯ menu on their profile. You may also email support@maylay.org. We review reports within 24 hours and may warn, suspend, or permanently terminate accounts.

Group chats. Everything sent in a group chat is visible to every member of that group. A member added later can read the conversation from the point they were added forward. Chat creators and administrators may rename a chat and add or remove members; if you leave or are removed, you lose access to that conversation, and messages you already sent remain visible to the remaining members.

Automatic translation. If a message is written in a language other than the one you have selected in the App, the message text may be sent to our third-party machine-translation provider (DeepL SE) so that a translation can be shown to you. Translations are automated, may be inaccurate or incomplete, and are provided for convenience only — the original message is always what was sent.

Moderation and removal. Consistent with Section 13, we do not pre-read conversations, but messages pass the same automated filter as the rest of the Service, and we reserve the right to remove messages, disable a chat, or suspend accounts at our discretion. Message content is User Content under Section 14. If you delete your account, messages you sent remain in the recipients' threads stripped of your identifying information, as described in Section 14 and our Privacy Policy.

Availability. Message delivery depends on your device, your network, and third-party services. We do not guarantee that any message will be delivered, delivered on time, or retained indefinitely.

33. User-to-User Sales, Classes, and Peer-to-Peer Payments

This Section applies whenever you use the Service to offer, sell, buy, or trade equipment or any other item, or to offer or sign up for paid lessons, classes, coaching, clinics, training sessions, or camps ("User Transactions").

Maylay is only a venue. Maylay is not a party to any User Transaction and does not act as a seller, buyer, broker, agent, escrow service, or payment processor for either side. We do not verify listings, inspect items, confirm ownership or authenticity, or review the qualifications, certifications, licensing, or insurance of anyone offering lessons, classes, coaching, or training. Any description, price, credential, or promise connected to a User Transaction comes solely from the User who posted it.

Seller and instructor obligations. If you offer items, classes, or instruction through the Service, you agree that you will:

Describe what you are offering truthfully and completely, use photos of the actual item, and disclose all known defects or damage.
Sell only items you lawfully own and are entitled to sell — never stolen, counterfeit, or recalled goods.
Never sell protective equipment (including helmets and other impact gear) that has been involved in an impact, is damaged, or is past its certification or expiration date.
Represent your qualifications, certifications, and experience truthfully, and hold any license, certification, or insurance required by law for the instruction you offer.
Deliver what was paid for. Collecting payment for an item you do not possess or do not intend to deliver, or for a class or session you do not intend to hold, is Fraudulent Activity under Section 5 and grounds for immediate termination.
Never demand payment by gift card, wire transfer, cryptocurrency, or any method chosen to avoid buyer protection.

Peer-to-peer payments. The Service lets you save payment handles (such as a Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, Apple Cash, PayPal, or Chime username) on your profile and share them in chat. Payment handles are provided by Users and are NOT verified by Maylay. All payments occur entirely within the third-party payment app under its own terms, and many peer-to-peer transfers are instant and irreversible. Maylay never receives, holds, transmits, or processes money, does not offer refunds or chargebacks, and cannot reverse, recover, or mediate any payment. Before sending money, confirm in the payment app that the recipient name matches the person you intend to pay.

Your responsibility and safety. All User Transactions are made at your own risk and are solely between the Users involved. We strongly encourage you to: meet in person in a public place; inspect an item before paying; never pay in advance for an item a stranger promises to ship; be skeptical of prices that seem too good to be true or of any pressure to pay quickly; and prefer payment methods that offer purchase protection when buying goods.

No warranty and release. Maylay makes no representation or warranty regarding the condition, safety, authenticity, legality, or fitness of any item, or the quality, safety, or legitimacy of any class or instruction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, User Transactions are included in the activities covered by Sections 9 (Release), 21 (Disclaimer of Warranties), 22 (Limitation of Liability), and 23 (Indemnification), and any dispute arising from a User Transaction is between the Users involved.

Enforcement. Consistent with Section 13, we have no obligation to monitor User Transactions, but we reserve the right to remove listings or Content, restrict access to payment-sharing features, suspend or terminate accounts, and report suspected fraud to law enforcement. To report a scam or suspicious listing, contact support@maylay.org.

34. Trainer, Coach, and Instructor Accounts

This Section applies if you identify yourself as a trainer, coach, or instructor on your profile (a "Trainer Account"), or use the Service to advertise, schedule, or fill lessons, classes, clinics, camps, or training sessions ("Classes"). It adds to Section 33, which governs payment for any Class you charge for.

The trainer label is self-reported. Marking yourself a trainer is a statement you make about yourself. Maylay does not verify, certify, endorse, recommend, employ, or run background checks on anyone carrying that label, and does not review certifications, licenses, insurance, education, or experience. A trainer badge on a profile, a map pin, or a Class listing is not a credential and must not be relied on as one.

Independent status. You use the Service as an independent individual listing your own offering. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture, or franchise relationship between you and Maylay. You alone set your prices, schedule, curriculum, and standards, and Maylay exercises no control over how you run a Class.

Trainer obligations. If you hold a Trainer Account, you additionally agree that you will:

Hold and keep current every license, certification, permit, and insurance policy that the law, the venue, or your sport's governing body requires for the instruction you offer, and describe your qualifications and experience truthfully everywhere they appear.
Have the right to use every venue you list, including any permit, reservation, membership, or facility permission that running a paid Class at that location requires. Listing a public park, court, beach, gym, or school does not grant you the right to operate a business there.
Take responsibility for the safety and supervision of your Classes — the site, any equipment you supply, the instruction you give, and your response to an injury or emergency — and stop any activity that becomes unsafe.
Instruct a User under 18 only with the consent of that User's parent or legal guardian, which you are responsible for obtaining, and comply with every law, background-check requirement, and safeguarding rule that applies to instructing minors where you operate. The Service must not be used to arrange instruction for anyone under 13.
Honor what you advertise. Hold the Classes you post, appear at the time and place you listed, and handle your own cancellations, rescheduling, no-shows, and refunds directly with your participants. Maylay does not process, guarantee, or refund any Class payment.
Comply with every law that applies to your activity, including business licensing, permits, advertising and consumer-protection rules, and tax reporting. You are solely responsible for your own taxes on anything you earn through a Class.
Never present yourself as an employee, agent, or partner of Maylay, and never claim that Maylay has certified, vetted, insured, or endorsed you.

If you attend a Class. A Class is not a vetted service. Signing up for, paying for, or attending a Class is entirely at your own risk and is covered by Sections 7 (Assumption of Risk), 9 (Release), and 33. Ask to see credentials and insurance yourself, tell the instructor about any injury or condition before you begin, and stop if anything feels unsafe. Instruction offered through the Service is not medical, physical therapy, nutritional, or rehabilitation advice — see Section 11.

Trainer indemnity. In addition to Section 23, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Maylay Sports Inc. and the Released Parties from any claim, demand, damage, liability, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) brought by or on behalf of a Class participant, a venue owner or operator, or any third party, arising out of a Class you advertised, offered, or held, your qualifications or the absence of them, your use of any venue, or any payment you collected.

Removing the label. Consistent with Sections 13 and 20, we may remove the trainer designation from an account, take down a Class listing, or suspend or terminate an account at any time — including where credentials appear to be misrepresented, a venue objects, or participants report safety or conduct problems. Report a concern about a trainer to support@maylay.org.

35. Service Availability, Changes, and Beta Features

The Service is provided on an ongoing basis but is not guaranteed to be available at all times. We may modify, suspend, add, or discontinue any feature of the Service, in whole or in part, at any time. Where a change materially reduces functionality you rely on, we will give notice in the App or by email when it is reasonable to do so. Some features are unavailable in some places, depend on your device or network, or require permissions you can decline.

Beta and early-access features. Parts of the Service may be offered as beta, preview, or early-access features. These are provided for evaluation, may contain errors, may change or be withdrawn without notice, and may lose data. They are furnished "AS IS" under Section 21 and are excluded from any commitment about availability or support.

You are responsible for your own device, network access, and data charges, and for keeping the App updated. We may stop supporting older versions of the App, and an unsupported version may stop working.

36. Electronic Communications and Notices

By using the Service you consent to receive communications from us electronically — in the App, by push notification, or by email to the address on your account — and you agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that a communication be in writing. You are responsible for keeping your email address current.

Service and transactional messages — verification codes, security alerts, receipts, and notices about these Terms — are part of your account and cannot be switched off while your account is open, though you can control marketing and activity notifications as described in Sections 31 and 32 and in our Privacy Policy. Legal notices to us must be sent to support@maylay.org.

37. California Consumer Notice

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to this notice: the Service is provided by Maylay Sports Inc. Complaints may be sent to support@maylay.org, or to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

If you are a California resident under 18 and a registered User, you may request removal of Content you posted publicly on the Service by emailing support@maylay.org. Removal may not be complete or comprehensive — for example, where the law requires retention, or where another User has already copied or reshared the Content.
