TERMS OF SERVICE
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
RunYourPool.com provides its services subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at: https://www.RunYourPool.com/tos.cfm. In addition, when using specific RunYourPool.com services, both you and RunYourPool.com shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services which may be changed from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
RunYourPool.com provides pool commissioners with a web-based platform for creating, hosting, and managing sports/pop-culture pools. All of our pools are private, and are run at the sole discretion of the pool commissioner, who controls and has access to all settings, rules, picks, and other elements associated with their pool. By joining a private pool, pool participants accept that the pool commissioner has FULL CONTROL over their pool, and must address any concerns directly with them.
RunYourPool.com provides its pool management service to pool commissioners for a small fee. There is no charge for pool participants. By agreeing to these terms of service, pool commissioners agree to either pay the full service fee (after the free trial period) or have access denied to their pool until such time as full payment is received by RunYourPool.com. Due to costs we incur for server resources and payment processing, all sales are final.
3. ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY
All services provided by RunYourPool.com are for ENTERTAINMENT/MARKETING PURPOSES ONLY and may not be used in connection with any form of gambling or wagering.
4. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
