3.3          Sportsground may terminate your access to any of the free services it provides at any time, without warning. Without limiting the foregoing, Sportsground may terminate your access to the Services if a serious complaint or multiple complaints are received about you from other Users, if you breach these terms and conditions, if you impersonate another User, or if we, at our sole discretion, deem your behaviour to be unacceptable. In the event that Sportsground terminates your service for its own reasons that are unrelated to the manner in which you have used the Services, then Sportsground shall refund you pro-rata any amount you have prepaid for any period that the Services have been made unavailable to you.

3.4          In the event that we terminate your access to the Services we may also at our absolute discretion permanently remove or delete your Content. You are solely responsible for keeping your own local or backup copy of your Content separate from the Sporty Platform and we will not be responsible to you or any third party for any loss you or any third party may suffer as a result of any Content being permanently removed and/or deleted or otherwise.

4              FEES

4.1          Sportsground provides a number of different levels of the Services for different fees. Sports organisations and schools may be offered Services without charge that display advertising from Sportsground or its sponsors or supporters. Sportsground reserves the right at its absolute discretion to introduce fees for any free Services and the right to alter, to depart from, or to cease offering Services free of charge at any time, taking into account Sportsground's legitimate interests and reasonable consumer expectations.

4.2          Sportsground may inform you if a free service is to be offered in the future for a fee. You can then decide if you want to continue to use the service for that fee. Your continued use of the service after the proposed fee modification has been notified for at least one month will be deemed to constitute acceptance of the proposed fee modification. If Sportsground terminates your access to the Services because you have breached any Agreement, you shall not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of subscription fees.

4.3          Prices displayed by us for any of the Services are in New Zealand dollars. Prices may not include delivery charges. Prices are subject to change by us. We reserve the right to correct any errors or misprints and have no responsibility if products or services are unavailable for purchase at any time.

5              PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN CONTENT

5.1          Sportsground does not claim any ownership rights in the Content that you post to the Sporty Platform or through your use of the Services. After you provide Content, you continue to retain all ownership rights in such Content, and you continue to have the right to use your Content in any way you choose beyond the Sporty Platform and the Services. By displaying or publishing ("posting") any Content to the Sporty Platform or through your use of the Services, you hereby grant to Sportsground a license to use, modify, publicly perform, publicly display, and reproduce such Content without limitation. The license you grant to Sportsground is non-exclusive (meaning you are free to license your Content to anyone else in addition to Sportsground), fully-paid and royalty-free (meaning that Sportsground is not required to pay you for displaying your Content), sub-licensable (so that Sportsground is able to provide a sub-license that allows third parties to also display your Content), and worldwide (because the Internet and the Services are global in reach). Without this license, Sportsground would be unable to provide the Services and would be unable to promote and publish your activities and Content through our partners and affiliates to the broader community. For example, without the right to modify User Content, Sportsground would not be able to digitally compress Content to satisfy Sportsground' technical requirements, and without the right to publicly display your Content, Sportsground could not allow people to view your site.  You warrant that you will not make any claim against us or any third party that we sub-license for any use, publication or copying of your Content and you waive all rights of action or other claims you may have now or in the future against us in respect of any such use, publication or copying.

5.2          You represent and warrant that: (i) you own the Content posted by you on the Sporty Platform or through your use of the Services and you have the right to grant the license set forth in this section, and (ii) the posting of your Content does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, intellectual property rights (including copyrights), contract rights or any other rights of any person. You agree to pay for all royalties, fees, and any other monies owing to any person by reason of any Content posted by you. If any person makes any claim against us or our sub-licensees, claiming that any of the Content you submit to the Service, or any use of them, infringes any copyright, or other intellectual property or moral right of any person, company or entity, you indemnify us and our sub-licensees against all costs, claims, loss, damage, demands and expenses (including all reasonable legal costs, fees and expenses) arising directly or indirectly out of such claim.

5.3          The Sporty Platform and Services may also contain graphics, logos, trademarks, text, design, icons, the arrangement of them, sound and video recordings and software that is owned by Sportsground ("Sportsground Content"). Sportsground Content is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other laws, and Sportsground owns and retains all rights in the Sportsground Content. Sportsground hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable license to reproduce and display the Sportsground Content (excluding any software code) solely for your personal use in connection with using the Sporty Platform and the Services.

5.4          The Sporty Platform contains content of other people who use the Sporty Platform. Except for Content posted by you, you may not copy, modify, translate, publish, broadcast, transmit, distribute, perform, display, or sell any content appearing on the Sporty Platform.

5.5          Sportsground may store contact details of people that use IDMe for the duration that Sportsground deems to be useful for the purpose of short term attendance tracking, after which date such data shall be deleted. You agree that Sportsground may delete contact details of attendees once the duration for which a person reasonably expected their data to be stored has passed.

5.6          Sportsground may collect and store personal information that people provide when using the Services to allow schools, clubs and sports organisations to provide their own services. Any personal information that is identifiable as relating to you will only be used by Sportsground or the school, club or organisation it relates to and their governing body if any (subject to your and their consent) in accordance with the purpose for which it was provided and it will not be sold or supplied to third parties. In accordance with The Privacy Act 2020 principle 11 (Disclosure of personal information) Sportsground may use, disclose, or sell to third parties information where we believe, on reasonable grounds, that the information (i) is to be used in a form in which the individual concerned is not identified; or (ii) is to be used for statistical or research purposes and will not be published in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify the individual concerned.

6.2          Sportsground assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for inappropriate Content or conduct. If at any time Sportsground chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Services, Sportsground nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the Administrator submitting any such Content.
