SimplPickl Terms of Service

Effective: August 5, 2026 · Last updated: August 5, 2026

These terms are written in plain language on purpose. They are still a contract, but we have written them so you can read them without a lawyer. Two sections are in capital letters because the law requires that kind of statement to stand out, not because we are shouting: section 12 (no warranties) and section 13 (limits on liability). Please read those two.

SimplPickl is operated by The Maslin Group, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company doing business as SimplPickl ("we", "us", "our"). "You" is you.

These are our service terms, which you accept when you create an account. They are not an end-user license agreement for the iOS app; Apple's standard licensed-application end user license agreement governs your license to use the app on Apple devices.

1. Agreeing to these terms

By creating a SimplPickl account, or by using SimplPickl, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. The sign-up screen says so above the button, and we record that you accepted. If your account was created before these terms took effect, you accept them by continuing to use SimplPickl, and we will ask you to confirm in the app before you post again. If you do not agree, do not use SimplPickl.

If you are using SimplPickl on behalf of a club, league or organization, you confirm you are allowed to accept these terms for it.

2. Who can use SimplPickl

You must be at least 13 years old, and you confirm that you are when you create an account. SimplPickl is not for children under 13. If we learn that an account belongs to someone under 13 we will delete it. If you are between 13 and 18, we ask that you use SimplPickl only with a parent or guardian's knowledge.

3. What SimplPickl is

SimplPickl is a free tool that helps pickleball groups organize gatherings: it builds schedules and rotations, tracks who is playing, records scores and standings, and lets a group message each other. It is not a referee, a sanctioning body, a rating service, or an insurer.

4. Your account

Keep your password to yourself and tell us at support@simplpickl.com if you think someone has got into your account. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Give us accurate information when you sign up. You can delete your account at any time, yourself, in Settings or at simplpickl.com/delete-account.

5. Your content, and the permission you give us

You keep ownership of what you post. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free permission to do these specific things with it, and nothing else:

• host it and display it to the people you shared it with;
• process it to operate, secure and improve the service, including through the service providers named in our Privacy Policy;
• review it when it is reported, and remove or restrict it if it breaks these rules;
• keep de-identified match and schedule records after your account is deleted, as section 7 describes;
• keep content where the law requires us to.

What happens to your content when you delete your account is set out plainly in the Privacy Policy, section 8, and it governs: your profile and credentials go; your player records are renamed and unlinked; match results survive attributed to "Deleted player"; and messages and attached images you posted in a group chat remain visible to that group, authored by "Deleted user" — because removing one side of a conversation would rewrite other people's. If you want a specific message or image gone, delete it before you delete your account or ask us and we will remove it.

6. Rules for what you post

Do not use SimplPickl to post, send or share:

• sexual content involving minors, or any child sexual abuse material — we report this to the authorities;
• intimate images of anyone shared without their consent, real or digitally created;
• harassment, bullying, threats of violence, or content that incites harm;
• hate speech targeting people for who they are;
• another person's private information — address, phone number, workplace or similar — without their consent;
• content that infringes someone's copyright, trademark or other rights;
• impersonation of another person, or a false identity used to deceive;
• spam, scams, fraud, or unsolicited advertising;
• malware, or anything intended to break, overload, scrape or reverse-engineer the service;
• anything otherwise unlawful.

Reporting. Every message and image in SimplPickl can be reported from inside the app, and anyone — account or not — can email support@simplpickl.com. We review reports and we act:
removing content, warning, suspending, or permanently closing accounts. We aim to respond within two business days, and faster for anything involving safety.

Blocking. You can block another user, which stops them contacting you through SimplPickl.

Nonconsensual intimate images. We follow the process in the Privacy Policy section 11:
removal of a validly reported image and known identical copies within 48 hours.

Repeat infringers. Accounts that repeatedly infringe copyright are terminated. See section 9.

We do not pre-screen everything people post. Content in SimplPickl is created by users and we are not responsible for it — but we do act on it when it is reported.

7. Scheduling, scores, and the fact that this is a game

SimplPickl produces schedules and records scores from what users enter and rules your organizer chooses. Organizers, not SimplPickl, run your event. Disputes about who played whom, who won, court assignments, ratings or eligibility are between you and your group.

Pickleball is a physical activity. SimplPickl does not organize, supervise, inspect or insure any gathering, court or facility, and has no role in your physical safety at one. Playing is at your own risk.

8. Advertising and affiliate links

SimplPickl participates in affiliate marketing. Some links on our site, in our apps and in our newsletter are affiliate links: if you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We label such links clearly and next to the link itself, as FTC guidance requires — not only in this document. A commission never changes your price and does not buy an endorsement.

Affiliate links from inside our mobile apps are limited to physical goods and off-app services — paddles, shoes, bags, court bookings and the like — and any in-app offering will comply with the applicable Apple and Google payment policies. We do not use affiliate links to sell digital content or features used inside SimplPickl.

We may also show or send advertising. We do not give advertisers or affiliate partners your personal information.

Anything you buy from a third party is between you and that third party. We are not the seller, we do not control their products, prices, claims, delivery or support, and we are not responsible or liable for them.

9. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on SimplPickl infringes your copyright, email
support@simplpickl.com with: your contact details; identification of the work; identification of the material and where it is; a statement that you believe in good faith the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act for the owner; and your signature (electronic is fine).

We remove or disable material in response to valid notices, notify the person who posted it, and restore it if they send a valid counter-notice and the complainant does not sue. We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Our newsletter

The newsletter is optional. You choose to receive it and can unsubscribe from any issue. It may contain advertising and affiliate links (section 8). Account emails are part of the service and are not marketing.

11. Our stuff

The SimplPickl name, logo, software, design and scheduling engine are ours. These terms give you permission to use the service, not ownership of any of it. Do not copy, resell, or build a competing product out of it.

12. NO WARRANTIES

SIMPLPICKL IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE MASLIN GROUP, LLC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT SIMPLPICKL WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT ANY SCHEDULE, ROTATION, SCORE, STANDING, RATING, MESSAGE, NOTIFICATION OR OTHER INFORMATION IN SIMPLPICKL IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT OR RELIABLE. YOU RELY ON IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH SIMPLPICKL CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.

Some states do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. If you live in one of those, some of the above may not apply to you and you may have rights these terms cannot take away.

13. LIMITS ON LIABILITY

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE MASLIN GROUP, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO SIMPLPICKL — WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BROUGHT IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED SUCH DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE.

THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM: AN INACCURATE OR MISSING SCHEDULE, ROTATION, SCORE, STANDING OR NOTIFICATION; A GATHERING THAT DID NOT HAPPEN AS SHOWN; LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA; SERVICE DOWNTIME; ANOTHER USER'S CONDUCT OR CONTENT; ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE YOU BOUGHT THROUGH A LINK IN SIMPLPICKL; OR ANY INJURY, LOSS OR DAMAGE OCCURRING AT OR IN CONNECTION WITH A PICKLEBALL GATHERING.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO SIMPLPICKL IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100). SimplPickl is free, so for most users (a) is zero and the cap is $100.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for fraud, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages; if you live in one of those, the above applies only to the extent your state permits.

These limits are a fundamental part of the deal between us. SimplPickl is free, and we could not offer it on these terms without them.

14. You cover us for your own misuse

If someone brings a claim against us because of something you did — content you posted, a law you broke, a right you infringed, or use of SimplPickl in breach of these terms — you agree to defend us, cover our reasonable legal costs, and pay resulting damages. We will tell you promptly of any such claim, and you may control the defense with counsel we reasonably approve.

15. Changing or ending the service

SimplPickl is under active development and changes often. We may add, alter, suspend or discontinue features, and may stop offering the service. If we shut it down we will give reasonable notice and a way to get your data out. We are not liable for any change to, suspension of, or discontinuation of the service.

We may suspend or close your account if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or if keeping it open would harm other users. You can close yours at any time.

16. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters we will update the "Last updated" date and notify you in the app before the change takes effect. Continuing to use SimplPickl after that means the new terms apply. If you do not agree, delete your account.

17. The legal fine print

Governing law. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Where disputes are heard. Any dispute will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Denver County, Colorado, and we each consent to those courts' jurisdiction. Nothing stops either of us from bringing a claim in small-claims court.

Talk to us first. Before filing anything, email support@simplpickl.com and give us 30 days to sort it out.

No class actions. To the extent permitted by law, any dispute will be brought individually and not as a plaintiff or class member in a class or representative action.

If part of this fails. If any provision is held unenforceable the rest stays in force, and that provision is narrowed to the minimum needed to make it enforceable.

No waiver. If we do not enforce something immediately, we have not given up the right to enforce it later.

Whole agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the SimplPickl service and replace anything said before. On Apple devices, Apple's standard licensed-application end user license agreement additionally governs your license to the app.

Assignment. You may not transfer these terms. We may transfer them to an affiliate or to a buyer of the business.
