Terms of Service

Effective Date: July 19, 2026

Last Updated: July 31, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Court Coach AI mobile application, the website at courtcoachai.org, and related features, content, and services (collectively, the “Services”). Court Coach AI is owned and operated by Brandon Hornbeck (“Court Coach,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

The collection, use, storage, sharing, and deletion of personal information are governed by the Court Coach AI Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Using voice and AI coaching features involves processing described in the Privacy Policy, including transmission of audio and personal information to third-party AI providers. Agreeing to these Terms alone does not replace any separate permission your device operating system requires for microphone access, notifications, or other sensitive capabilities.

1. Acceptance of These Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

If you are accepting these Terms on behalf of a minor in your household, you represent that you are that minor's parent or legal guardian and that you accept these Terms on their behalf. You are responsible for your minor's compliance with these Terms and for supervising their use of the Services.

You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, or that your parent or legal guardian has accepted on your behalf. If you are using the Services as part of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

2. Eligibility

You may use Court Coach AI only if you can legally enter into a binding agreement in your jurisdiction. [CONFIRM: Verify the App Store age rating and whether the app is restricted to users 13 and older, 17 and older, or another minimum age. Confirm whether age verification or parental consent is collected at account creation.]

If you are under 13 in the United States or under the applicable minimum age in your country, you must not create an account or use the Services. If you are a minor above that minimum age, your parent or legal guardian must review and accept these Terms on your behalf where required by applicable law.

3. Accounts

Certain features require an account. You may create an account using Sign in with Apple, Google Sign-In, or email and password. [CONFIRM: Confirm which authentication methods are available in the current version of the app.] By creating an account, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information and to keep that information up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and devices. Do not share your account with others or permit unauthorized access. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including actions taken by others using your credentials.

We may limit account creation, suspend accounts, or restrict features when we reasonably believe that these Terms have been violated, that account activity poses a security or fraud risk, or that restriction is otherwise necessary to protect users or the Services.

You may delete your account through the Profile screen in the application. [CONFIRM: Verify the exact in-app location of account deletion.] Account deletion may permanently remove your workout history, preferences, analytics, achievements, and other account data, subject to legal and operational retention requirements described in the Privacy Policy.

Deleting your Court Coach AI account does not automatically cancel an active App Store subscription.

You must separately cancel any active subscription through your Apple ID subscription settings. If you delete your account while a subscription remains active, Apple may continue charging you until that subscription is canceled.

4. Purpose of Court Coach AI

Court Coach AI provides personalized basketball workouts, drill instructions, workout tracking, analytics, workout reminders, [CONFIRM: video demonstrations, if applicable,] and AI-assisted coaching features. Court Coach AI is intended for general educational, recreational, and fitness purposes.

Court Coach AI is not a substitute for an in-person coach, physician, physical therapist, athletic trainer, or other qualified professional. Nothing in the Services constitutes medical diagnosis, medical treatment, physical therapy, or professional athletic coaching.

5. Fitness and Safety

Basketball training and physical exercise involve inherent risks, including falls, collisions, overexertion, dehydration, and physical injury. You are responsible for evaluating whether any drill, workout, instruction, equipment, location, or playing condition is safe and appropriate for your individual circumstances.

Before beginning a new exercise program or following any recommendation from Court Coach AI, you should consult a qualified healthcare professional if you have an existing injury, medical condition, physical limitation, or any concern about your ability to participate safely.

Stop exercising immediately and seek appropriate medical assistance if you experience pain, chest discomfort, dizziness, shortness of breath, unusual weakness, injury, or any other concerning symptom.

Court Coach AI does not guarantee athletic improvement, physical fitness results, team selection, scholarships, playing time, competitive performance, or any particular training outcome.

6. AI Coaching Features

Court Coach AI uses artificial intelligence to generate workout plans, answer coaching questions, modify workouts, interpret voice commands, and provide written and spoken coaching guidance. AI-generated content is produced algorithmically and may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, repetitive, misunderstood, or inappropriate for your specific circumstances. You should exercise independent judgment and review all AI-generated content before relying on it.

AI coaching features depend on third-party AI providers. The availability, quality, and accuracy of AI features may change as those providers update their services. [CONFIRM: Identify the AI provider — e.g., OpenAI — in the Privacy Policy and confirm its identity here.]

Information you submit to the AI coach — including voice audio, messages, workout data, and personal information — may be transmitted to our AI provider as described in the Privacy Policy. Do not submit sensitive personal, medical, or financial information through the AI coach beyond what is necessary to receive coaching.

AI performance may be affected by background noise, internet connection quality, microphone hardware, device settings, and the quality of the information you provide. Court Coach AI does not guarantee that automatically logged workout data — such as makes, misses, or exercise counts interpreted from voice — is accurate.

7. User Content

“User Content” means voice input, text messages, feedback, workout information, notes, and any other material you submit to the Services.

You retain ownership of your User Content. By submitting User Content, you grant Court Coach a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, process, transmit, and use your User Content solely to the extent necessary to provide, operate, secure, support, and improve the Services for you. We do not claim ownership over your voice recordings or workout data.

You represent that you have the right to submit your User Content and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights or applicable law.

You are responsible for the accuracy of information you enter or speak to the AI coach. Inaccurate input may result in inaccurate workout tracking, analytics, or coaching recommendations.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Services to:

  • Engage in unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, deceptive, or abusive conduct.
  • Bypass usage limits, payment requirements, security measures, or access restrictions.
  • Create accounts primarily to evade limits, suspensions, subscription requirements, or restrictions.
  • Interfere with the operation, availability, or security of the Services.
  • Reverse engineer, scrape, copy, sell, or redistribute the Services except where expressly permitted by applicable law.
  • Upload, distribute, or transmit malware or other malicious code.
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity.
  • Use bots or automated systems to access the Services without our written permission.
  • Attempt to access another user's account, data, or private information.
  • Direct the AI coach to produce dangerous, abusive, illegal, or harmful content, or to provide advice that could endanger you or others.
  • Use the Services in any manner that could impose unreasonable load on our infrastructure or AI provider costs.

We may suspend or terminate access when we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated or when necessary to protect users, the Services, or third parties.

9. Workout Data and Analytics

Court Coach AI may allow you to record makes, misses, attempts, completed sets, workout duration, performance metrics, and other training information. Analytics, ratings, estimates, and progress measurements are based on the information available to the application and may not reflect your complete basketball ability or physical fitness.

Workout data and analytics should not be treated as professional athletic evaluations, medical assessments, or scientific measurements. You are responsible for the accuracy of information you enter or communicate to the AI coach.

10. Internet, Device, and Microphone Requirements

Some features require a reliable internet connection, microphone access, notification permission, Bluetooth connectivity, or compatible device hardware. Service quality may be affected by connection strength, background noise, device volume, Bluetooth devices, operating-system behavior, device settings, third-party outages, or platform limitations.

We do not guarantee that every feature will always be available, accurate, compatible, uninterrupted, or error-free. You are responsible for maintaining the internet connection and device hardware required to use the Services.

11. Notifications

If you enable notifications, Court Coach AI may send workout reminders, plan updates, streak reminders, subscription-related notices, and other service communications. You may disable notifications through the application or your device settings. Notifications are provided for convenience, and we do not guarantee their delivery or timing.

12. Premium Features

Some features may require a paid subscription. Premium features may include personalized workout generation, AI coaching, voice coaching, progress tracking, analytics, drill demonstrations, and other features identified in the application.

We may add, modify, replace, limit, or discontinue individual premium features as the Services develop. A subscription provides access to the premium features available under the applicable plan at that time and does not guarantee that any particular feature will remain available indefinitely.

13. Auto-Renewable Subscriptions

Court Coach AI offers auto-renewable subscriptions billed through the App Store. [CONFIRM: List current subscription products and billing periods — e.g., Monthly and Yearly — as configured in App Store Connect.]

The subscription title, billing period, recurring price, free-trial availability, introductory offer, and other material terms will be displayed before you confirm a purchase. The terms displayed on Apple's purchase confirmation screen at the time of purchase govern your transaction. We do not hardcode prices in these Terms because prices may change in accordance with Apple's pricing policies and applicable law.

Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase, except when an eligible free trial or introductory period applies. Unless canceled before the end of the current billing period, your subscription automatically renews and Apple charges the recurring price shown when you purchased it. Renewal charges occur within 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.

Subscriptions are billed and managed through your Apple ID. Court Coach AI cannot directly charge, modify, or cancel your Apple subscription on your behalf.

14. Free Trials and Introductory Offers

Eligible new subscribers may be offered a free trial or introductory price. Eligibility is determined by Apple and may depend on your prior subscription or introductory-offer history within the applicable App Store subscription group. A trial or introductory offer may not be available to every user, even when it appears in general marketing materials or screenshots.

Unless canceled before the trial or introductory period ends, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription and Apple will charge the recurring price displayed during purchase.

If you are not eligible for a trial, Apple's confirmation screen will display the price that will be charged before you complete the purchase.

15. Special and Discounted Offers

Court Coach AI may present special, discounted, introductory, or promotional subscription options to certain users. Different subscription products may unlock substantially the same premium features at different recurring prices. Offer availability may depend on eligibility, account status, subscription history, location, or campaign availability.

Unless expressly stated otherwise before purchase, a discounted subscription renews at the recurring discounted price shown on Apple's purchase confirmation screen, not at a different subscription price.

16. Managing and Canceling Subscriptions

You can manage or cancel your subscription through your Apple ID subscription settings (iOS: Settings → [Your Name] → Subscriptions). Court Coach AI cannot directly cancel an App Store subscription on your behalf.

Cancellation generally takes effect at the end of the current paid billing period. After cancellation, you may continue using premium features until the subscription expires, unless access is removed for another lawful reason.

Uninstalling the application, signing out of your account, or deleting your Court Coach AI account does not cancel your App Store subscription.

17. Refunds

App Store purchases and refund requests are processed by Apple. Court Coach AI does not directly process App Store refunds and cannot guarantee that a refund will be granted. Except where required by applicable law or Apple's refund policies, subscription payments and partial billing periods are generally non-refundable.

You may request a refund through Apple's applicable support and purchase-management process. Apple's refund decisions are made solely by Apple.

18. Restoring Purchases

If you reinstall the application or use it on a new device while signed into the same Apple ID, you may be able to restore a prior subscription through the restore-purchases option in the application. Restoration is subject to your subscription remaining active and to Apple's and RevenueCat's systems returning the correct subscription status for your Apple ID.

19. Third-Party Services and Content

The Services depend on or may integrate with third-party services, including:

  • Apple — Sign in with Apple, App Store distribution, subscription billing, push-notification infrastructure, and app review. Apple is not a party to these Terms, and this agreement is between you and Court Coach, not Apple.
  • Google — Google Sign-In authentication.
  • [CONFIRM: OpenAI or other AI provider] — AI language and voice processing for coaching responses.
  • RevenueCat — Subscription management and entitlement verification.
  • [CONFIRM: Supabase or other backend provider] — Database, authentication, and backend infrastructure.
  • [CONFIRM: Expo] — App infrastructure and, if applicable, push notifications.
  • [CONFIRM: YouTube or other video provider] — Drill demonstration videos, if applicable.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, content, security, or independent practices of third-party services. Apple does not sponsor or endorse Court Coach AI.

20. Intellectual Property

The Services — including their design, branding, software, text, graphics, workout presentation, interfaces, and original content — are owned by or licensed to Court Coach and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. No ownership rights are transferred to you.

Third-party trademarks, video content, and copyrighted materials displayed in the Services remain the property of their respective owners. Your right to use those materials is limited to what is permitted by their owners or by applicable law.

21. Availability and Changes

We may update, modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time, including during maintenance, outages, or as the application develops. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of material changes, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or permanent access to the Services.

Some features require a compatible device, operating-system version, and internet connection. We do not guarantee that the Services will be compatible with every device or operating-system version.

22. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” Court Coach disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, satisfactory quality, title, and non-infringement. Court Coach does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.

Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion of certain warranties. To the extent such exclusions are not permitted, they apply only to the maximum extent allowed by applicable law.

23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Court Coach and its owner, developer, affiliates, contractors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Services, including physical injury, property damage, lost data, lost opportunities, lost profits, service interruptions, inaccurate analytics, reliance on AI-generated content, unauthorized account access, or failures involving third-party services.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or fraudulent misrepresentation.

24. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Court Coach and its owner, developer, affiliates, contractors, and service providers from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of another person's rights.

25. Termination

You may stop using the Services at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, misuse the Services, create security risks, fail to pay applicable charges, or engage in fraudulent or abusive conduct.

Termination of your Court Coach AI account does not automatically cancel an active App Store subscription. You must separately cancel through your Apple ID subscription settings.

Sections that should reasonably survive termination — including User Content, Intellectual Property, Disclaimer of Warranties, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and Apple-Specific Terms — will remain effective after termination.

26. Governing Law and Disputes

[CONFIRM: Verify the operator's actual legal state of residence or incorporation and insert the governing law clause here — e.g., “These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to conflict-of-law principles.”]

[CONFIRM: These Terms do not currently include mandatory arbitration or class-action waiver provisions. If you wish to add such provisions, please consult a qualified attorney before doing so, as requirements and enforceability vary by jurisdiction.]

27. Apple-Specific Terms

If you downloaded Court Coach AI through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • These Terms are a contract between you and Court Coach, not between you and Apple. Apple is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the Services or their content.
  • The license granted to you in these Terms is limited to a non-transferable license to use the application on any Apple-branded product that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Usage Rules.
  • Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish maintenance or support services for Court Coach AI. Any maintenance and support is provided by Court Coach, as described in these Terms.
  • In the event of any failure of the application to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the application to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the application.
  • Court Coach, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims you or any third party may have relating to the application or your possession and use of the application, including product-liability claims, consumer-protection claims, intellectual-property infringement claims, and claims under other applicable laws or regulations.
  • In the event of any third-party claim that the application or your possession and use of it infringes that third party's intellectual-property rights, Court Coach, not Apple, will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  • You must comply with applicable third-party terms of service when using the application, including any applicable App Store terms and usage rules.
  • Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms. Upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

28. Privacy

The collection, use, storage, sharing, and deletion of personal information — including name, email, basketball data, voice and audio data, AI conversations, device identifiers, purchase history, usage data, and diagnostic data — are governed by the Court Coach AI Privacy Policy.

Using voice and AI coaching features involves transmitting audio and personal information to third-party AI providers as described in the Privacy Policy. Agreeing to these Terms does not replace any separate consent your device requires for microphone access or push notifications.

29. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms periodically. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where required by applicable law, we may provide additional notice of material changes.

Continued use of the Services after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms, where permitted by law. If you do not agree to updated Terms, you should stop using the Services.

  • Governing law and dispute resolution (Section 26) — jurisdiction, arbitration, and class-action waiver decisions require legal counsel familiar with the operator's location and target markets.
  • Limitation of liability and indemnification (Sections 23–24) — enforceability varies significantly by jurisdiction, particularly in consumer-facing apps.
  • Fitness and medical disclaimers (Section 5) — language should be reviewed for enforceability in jurisdictions where the app is distributed.
  • COPPA compliance and age-gate implementation — if users under 13 may access the app, a formal COPPA compliance review is strongly recommended.
  • Apple EULA required provisions (Section 27) — confirm all required Apple provisions are present and up to date with current App Store Review Guidelines.

Potential Contradictions to Resolve

  • If the App Store age rating is 4+, verify that the Terms' minimum-age language is consistent with Apple's age-rating definitions.
  • If the app does collect age information at sign-up, the Privacy Policy should disclose that collection; if it does not, the Terms' eligibility section should explain how underage users are identified and excluded.
  • Confirm that the in-app microphone permission prompt language is consistent with the Privacy Policy's description of when microphone capture begins and ends.
  • Confirm that any in-app AI consent screen is consistent with the voice and AI processing disclosures in the Privacy Policy and with these Terms.
  • Confirm that the account-deletion flow in the app actually performs the deletion described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
