These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Estep Tech, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Ohio, with its principal place of business in Columbus, Ohio ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms govern your access to and use of the EstepSports website at estepsports.com and all related services, tools, and features (collectively, the "Platform"). By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account or use the Platform. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement, that the information you provide during registration is accurate and complete, and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform.
EstepSports is a creator analytics and management platform designed for sports content creators. The Platform provides tools to track and display performance metrics for connected social media accounts, aggregate data into leaderboards and dashboards, facilitate connections and partnerships between creators, agencies, and brands, and track payments between parties in active partnership arrangements. The Company connects to third-party social media platforms — currently Instagram (via Meta's Graph API) and TikTok (via TikTok's Login Kit and Display API) — to retrieve the data necessary to provide these services. The availability and functionality of third-party integrations are subject to the terms, policies, and continued operation of those platforms, which are outside the Company's control.
To access the Platform's features, you must create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to notify the Company immediately at mason@estepsports.com if you become aware of any unauthorized access to or use of your account. The Company is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to safeguard your account credentials.
Certain features of the Platform require you to connect one or more social media accounts. When you connect an account, you authorize the Company to access, retrieve, and display data from that account as described in our Privacy Policy. You represent that you are the authorized holder of any social media account you connect, or that you have obtained the account holder's explicit permission to connect it.
By connecting your Instagram account, you acknowledge that the Company accesses your Instagram data through Meta's Instagram Graph API, and that this access is subject to Meta's Platform Terms and Meta Developer Policies. You agree to comply with Instagram's Terms of Use while using the Platform. The Company accesses your Instagram data solely to provide the analytics and creator management services described in Section 2. The Company does not post content to your Instagram account unless you explicitly initiate such an action through the Platform.
By connecting your TikTok account, you acknowledge that the Company accesses your TikTok data through TikTok's Login Kit and Display API using the scopes user.info.basic and video.list, and that this access is subject to TikTok's Developer Terms of Service. You agree to comply with TikTok's Terms of Service while using the Platform. The Company uses data obtained through TikTok's developer tools solely for the purpose of providing EstepSports' analytics and creator management services. The Company does not post, modify, or delete any content on your TikTok account. TikTok may change or discontinue its API services at any time, which may affect the availability or functionality of TikTok-related features on the Platform.
Notice Regarding Third-Party Platforms. You are responsible for complying with the terms of service of any social media platform you connect to the Platform. The Company is not responsible for any action taken by Instagram, TikTok, or any other third-party platform with respect to your account. If a third-party platform modifies, restricts, or discontinues its developer services, certain features of the Platform may become unavailable without notice.
The collection, use, storage, and disclosure of your personal information are governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Platform, you consent to the data practices described therein. Key commitments include: the Company does not sell your personal information; the Company does not use data obtained from TikTok or Instagram for cross-context behavioral advertising; data from connected social media accounts is used exclusively to operate the Platform's analytics and creator management services; and you may request deletion of your data at any time.

You retain all ownership rights in the content you create and the social media accounts you connect. By connecting a social media account to the Platform, you grant the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to access, retrieve, store, display, and analyze your publicly available content and associated performance metrics, solely for the purpose of providing the services described in Section 2. This license includes the right to display your content and metrics on analytics dashboards, leaderboards, and in performance reports shared with agency partners and brands you are affiliated with through the Platform. This license terminates when you disconnect the relevant social media account or delete your EstepSports account, whichever occurs first.

The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving the parties' original intent.
Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, or any rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Company. The Company may assign these Terms without restriction.
