2. Description of Service

2.1 What We Provide

WhereToWatchSport is a fan-powered, two-sided discovery platform that helps sports fans find nearby venues (bars, restaurants, pubs, and other establishments) showing specific live sporting events. We aggregate publicly available match schedules and allow venue operators and fans to contribute venue information, match screening confirmations, reviews, and ratings.

2.2 Two User Types

The Service serves two primary user categories:

Fans — Individuals who use the Service to discover venues showing live sporting events, submit reviews, provide match screening confirmations, and contribute venue information. Fans may browse anonymously or create an optional account for enhanced features.

Venue Operators — Business owners or authorized representatives who claim and manage venue listings, provide match screening schedules, create promotions, and access analytics about their listings.

2.3 What We Do Not Provide

The Service does not stream, broadcast, or rebroadcast any sporting event. We do not operate, own, or manage any venues listed on the platform. We are not a ticketing, booking, or reservation service. We do not sell food, beverages, or alcoholic drinks.

3. User Accounts

3.1 Account Creation

Certain features of the Service require email-based authentication through a one-time passcode (“OTP”) system. You are not required to create an account to browse venue and match information.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your account credentials, including any OTP codes sent to your email. You agree to notify us immediately at support@wheretowatchsport.com if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

3.3 Account Accuracy

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during account registration and to keep such information up to date. Venue Operators specifically agree to provide truthful business information including venue name, address, operating hours, contact details, and match screening schedules.

3.4 One Account Per Person

You may not create or maintain multiple accounts for the purpose of circumventing these Terms, manipulating the Service, or evading enforcement actions. Venue Operators may manage multiple venue listings under a single account where authorized.

3.5 Account Termination by You

You may close your account at any time by contacting us at support@wheretowatchsport.com. Upon closure, your right to use the Service immediately ceases. Certain information may be retained as described in our Privacy Policy.

4. User-Contributed Content

4.1 Types of User Content

Users may submit various types of content to the Service, including but not limited to: venue listings and submissions, reviews and ratings, match screening confirmations (“I’m watching here” reports), photos, text-based reports and tips, and promotional content (for Venue Operators).

4.2 License Grant

By submitting content to the Service, you grant WhereToWatchSport a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, display, distribute, and create derivative works from your content in connection with the Service, including for promotional, analytical, and operational purposes.

4.3 Content Ownership

You retain ownership of the content you submit, subject to the license granted above. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights, licenses, and permissions to submit such content and to grant the foregoing license.

4.4 Content Standards

You agree that all content you submit will:

• Be based on genuine, firsthand experience (for reviews and confirmations)
• Be accurate, truthful, and not misleading
• Not infringe upon or violate any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights
• Not be false, defamatory, libelous, obscene, abusive, threatening, discriminatory, or otherwise objectionable
• Not contain viruses, malware, or other harmful code
• Comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws

4.5 Content Moderation

We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to monitor, review, edit, remove, or disable access to any user content at our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice. This includes content that we believe violates these Terms, is potentially harmful, or is otherwise objectionable.

4.6 No Compensation for Content

Users submit content voluntarily and will not receive compensation from WhereToWatchSport for content submissions, unless separately agreed in writing. Reviews, confirmations, and venue submissions are contributed on a non-commercial, community-driven basis.

5. Venue Information and Accuracy

5.1 No Guarantee of Match Screening

While we strive to provide accurate venue and match information, WhereToWatchSport does not guarantee that any venue will be showing a particular match at any given time. Match schedules may change, venues may alter their plans, and technical issues may affect availability.

5.2 Trust and Match Signals

A “Verified” badge indicates an approved listing with a verified, active operator claim. A “Confirmed” badge indicates that the venue operator marked a specific scheduled or live match as showing. Fan check-ins are separate social proof. These signals do not constitute a guarantee or endorsement by WhereToWatchSport. We strongly recommend contacting a venue directly to confirm screening before visiting.

5.3 Venue Operator Responsibility

Venue Operators who claim listings are responsible for the accuracy of their venue information, including operating hours, contact details, amenities, photos, match screening schedules, and promotions. Venue Operators acknowledge that inaccurate information may result in a poor fan experience and potential removal or suspension of their listing.

5.4 Third-Party Data

Match schedules and competition data are sourced from third-party providers (including but not limited to Football-Data.org and ESPN) and are presented for informational purposes only. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of third-party data.

6. Premium Subscriptions and Payments

6.1 Premium Features

Venue Operators may purchase a Premium subscription for enhanced features, including but not limited to: featured placement in search results, expanded analytics and performance insights, additional match-day promotions, city benchmarking data, and priority support. Verified status is based on an approved operator claim and is not purchased.

6.2 Pricing and Billing

Premium subscriptions are billed on a recurring basis (monthly or annually) through our payment processor, Stripe. Current pricing is displayed on the Service and may be updated from time to time. You authorize us and Stripe to charge your designated payment method for recurring subscription fees.

6.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time through your Venue Operator dashboard or by contacting us at support@wheretowatchsport.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. You will retain access to Premium features until that date. No refunds are issued for partial billing periods.

6.4 Price Changes

We reserve the right to change subscription pricing at any time. We will provide at least 30 days’ notice of price increases. Continued use of the Premium service after a price change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

6.5 No Guarantee of Business Outcomes

Featured placement and Premium visibility features do not guarantee any specific business outcome, including increased foot traffic, revenue, or customer engagement. Premium benefits relate solely to enhanced digital features within the Service.

6.6 Payment Disputes

If you believe a charge is incorrect, please contact us at support@wheretowatchsport.com within 30 days of the charge. We will work with you and our payment processor to resolve billing disputes.
