1. Operator and eligibility

Sideline Playbook is offered by Samuel Bartlett, operating as Sideline Science, Wisconsin, United States. Contact [email protected] or Samuel Bartlett / Sideline Science, W343S9135 Jericho Dr, Eagle, WI 53119, United States.

You must be at least 18 years old and authorized to use any content, branding, or organization information you provide. The service is for adult coaches. There are no player/student accounts. Do not submit student/player personal information or student records. Use generic position labels and non-identifying coaching examples.

These terms govern Sideline Playbook, together with its Privacy Policy and Refund Policy. Other Sideline Science products are not included unless expressly stated in your purchase.

2. Your account and content

Sign in using your own Google account and protect access to it. An individual subscription is for one coach; it is not a staff or team license. Do not share sign-in credentials or bypass access restrictions.

You retain your rights in coaching content you create or lawfully provide. You give us permission to host, process, display, and export that content as needed to provide, support, and secure the service. This permission does not give us ownership of your playbook or a general right to publish it. You are responsible for rights to imported material, school/team logos, and other third-party content. Our software and original product assets remain ours or our licensors'.

Do not use the service unlawfully, upload malicious content, interfere with other accounts, or attempt unauthorized access. No right to another coach's private playbook is granted.

3. Prices and automatic renewal

The standard individual-coach prices are US $9.99 per month or US $79 per year, plus any applicable taxes disclosed at checkout. Annual subscriptions are billed as one $79 payment, not monthly installments.

Your subscription renews automatically at the selected monthly or annual interval until canceled. The first payment is charged when you subscribe; later payments are charged at renewal. By expressly agreeing to the recurring-payment terms at checkout, you authorize Stripe to process those charges using your selected payment method. Your checkout confirmation identifies the plan and amount.

There is no free trial unless we expressly offer one with its duration, charges, and cancellation deadline. Test subscriptions using simulated payments do not constitute paid production subscriptions.

If we change the renewal price, we will notify your account email at least 30 days before the first renewal affected, and earlier if required by law. A change will not increase the charge for a period you have already paid for. You can cancel before the affected renewal. We will obtain renewed consent where legally required.

4. Canceling and access afterward

Cancel future renewals through Account → Manage billing and follow the confirmation steps. If you cannot access that control, email support with the email address associated with your account. A verified cancellation request received before renewal will be honored; support processing delays will not extend the chargeable period beyond that timely request.

Ordinary cancellation stops future renewals and keeps full access through the end of your paid period. Canceling does not itself create a refund; see the Refund Policy for first-purchase refunds and other rights.

After paid access ends, you can continue to view and export saved plays and drills while your account remains open and the service remains available. Creating, editing, duplicating, or deleting coaching content requires active editing access. Canceling alone does not delete your saved content. Contact support for a deletion request if your account is read-only.

5. Failed payments and recovery

Keep payment information current. A failed renewal can suspend editing access after the previously paid period ends. Stripe may retry collection of an unpaid invoice under the configured recovery process. We do not promise a grace period. Viewing and exporting saved content remain available under section 4. After successful payment and confirmation of active access, editing can resume. You can update your card or cancel through Manage billing; contact support about an incorrect charge.

If access ends during an edit, keep the page open, export what you can, and use Download work backup in Account. That backup is a data file; it is not a promise of an automatic restore/import tool. Do not rely on unsaved browser work as your only copy.

6. Complimentary lifetime accounts

An express complimentary lifetime grant removes the subscription requirement for the named coach's individual Sideline Playbook account for the operating lifetime of this product. It has no recurring charge, is not transferable, has no cash value, and does not include unrelated products. Grants are tied to a verified account. Owner administration permissions, if any, are separate. A grant does not exempt an account from these terms, lawful suspension for misuse, account deletion, or discontinuation of the service.

7. Availability, suspension, and coaching responsibility

Features can evolve and availability depends on connectivity and third-party services. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. Export important material and keep separate copies. We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address a serious violation, security threat, fraud, or legal obligation, with notice and an opportunity to resolve the issue when appropriate and practicable.

This is a planning and illustration tool. You are responsible for reviewing diagrams, assignments, exports, and drills; supervising participants; choosing safe equipment and practices; and following applicable rules. The app does not certify the safety or suitability of a drill or guarantee athletic results.

To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available without implied warranties of fitness or uninterrupted operation. We are not responsible for indirect or consequential loss to the extent such exclusions are lawful. Nothing in these terms excludes non-waivable consumer rights or liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

8. Changes and disputes

Material changes will be communicated through the service or your account email before they apply, subject to legal requirements. Changes will not retroactively remove rights concerning an earlier charge. Wisconsin law governs to the extent permitted, without limiting mandatory protections that apply where you live. These terms do not require mandatory arbitration or waive class-action rights. Please contact support first so we can try to resolve a concern.
