If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account or use the Service. By creating an account, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years old. ScallyWagers does not verify user age and is not responsible for age enforcement at physical events organized through the platform.
ScallyWagers is an organizational and timing tool for poker home games and tournaments. The Service provides:
ScallyWagers does not facilitate, operate, host, or profit from gambling in any form. The platform is a software tool analogous to a scoreboard, timer, or calculator. No poker hands are dealt through the Service. No wagers are placed through the Service. No money is processed, held, transferred, or guaranteed by the Service. All buy-in amounts, prize pools, and payout figures displayed in the platform are informational calculations only, representing data entered by the host or derived from that data.
ScallyWagers does not act as a payment processor, money transmitter, escrow agent, or financial institution. The platform may display references to monetary amounts (buy-ins, prize pools, payouts, bounties) for organizational purposes. These figures reflect calculations based on user input and do not represent actual fund transfers through the Service. All financial transactions between players and hosts occur entirely outside the platform and are solely the responsibility of the parties involved.
To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and/or phone number. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update such information to keep it accurate.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree to notify ScallyWagers immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.
You may delete your account at any time through the account settings. ScallyWagers may suspend or terminate your account for violation of these Terms, with or without notice. Upon termination, your data will be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
The Service is offered through paid subscription tiers and one-time event passes. Pricing, features, and tier details are displayed on the Service and may change with notice. A free trial period may be offered to new users.
Payments are processed through Stripe, Inc. ("Stripe"). By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. ScallyWagers does not store credit card numbers or payment method details on its servers.
You may cancel your subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds are issued for unused portions of a billing period. After cancellation, your data is retained for eighteen (18) months per the Privacy Policy before anonymization.
Certain platform achievements may earn a discount on future subscription renewals. Discounts are applied automatically as one-time credits, do not stack, and are subject to change or discontinuation at ScallyWagers' discretion.
Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their use of the Service complies with all applicable local, state, federal, and international laws and regulations, including but not limited to laws governing social gambling, home poker games, and tournament poker.
ScallyWagers makes no representations or warranties regarding the legality of poker, home games, tournaments, or any related activity in any jurisdiction. The availability of the Service in a particular jurisdiction does not constitute a representation that using the Service for poker-related activities is legal in that jurisdiction.
The Service may provide general informational content regarding gambling laws in certain jurisdictions. Such content is provided for informational purposes only, does not constitute legal advice, and may not be current or complete.

The Service may send transactional notifications (RSVP requests, event reminders, waitlist updates, tournament notifications) via SMS, email, and/or push notifications. All communications use predefined templates and are transactional in nature.
Notification preferences are configured per group, per channel. Users opt in to specific notification channels for each group they join. Users may revoke consent for any channel in any group at any time without leaving the group. Standard unsubscribe mechanisms are provided on every communication.
ScallyWagers does not send communications to individuals who have not created an account and opted in. Invitations to join the platform are delivered by existing users through their own personal communication channels (text message, email, social media), not through ScallyWagers' messaging infrastructure.
The Service, including its design, code, algorithms, brand assets, logos, and content created by ScallyWagers, is the proprietary property of ScallyWagers and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. The blind structure generation algorithm is a trade secret of ScallyWagers.
Users retain ownership of content they create through the Service, including group descriptions, house rules, and custom blind structures. By using the Service, you grant ScallyWagers a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and transmit your content as necessary to provide the Service.
Blind structures generated by the ScallyWagers algorithm are licensed to the user for personal and group use. Structures created manually by users are their own intellectual property. Public structures shared to the community library are available for other users to copy and use within the Service.
Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide regarding the Service (including through polls, support communications, or free-text responses) may be used by ScallyWagers without restriction or compensation.
ScallyWagers does not mediate, arbitrate, or resolve disputes between users, including but not limited to disputes regarding payouts, game rules, player conduct, group membership, chop agreements, or any financial matter. The platform provides records of tournament results, payout calculations, and event history for informational purposes. Resolution of any dispute is solely the responsibility of the parties involved.
Chop agreements, payout records, and tournament results stored in the Service are informational records and do not constitute binding legal agreements, contracts, or financial instruments between users.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
ScallyWagers does not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. ScallyWagers does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content, calculations, or data generated by or displayed through the Service, including but not limited to payout calculations, blind structure recommendations, and compliance reference content.
ScallyWagers does not guarantee availability during specific events or tournaments. While the platform is designed for real-time tournament operation, service interruptions may occur. Users are encouraged to maintain backup timing methods for critical events.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SCALLYWAGERS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR DATA; COSTS OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES; DAMAGES ARISING FROM SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS DURING TOURNAMENTS OR EVENTS; DAMAGES ARISING FROM INACCURATE CALCULATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS, OR DISPLAYED INFORMATION; DAMAGES ARISING FROM DISPUTES BETWEEN USERS; DAMAGES ARISING FROM RELIANCE ON COMPLIANCE REFERENCE CONTENT; OR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please review the Privacy Policy for information about how we collect, use, and protect your data.
The Service integrates with third-party services including Stripe (payment processing), Twilio (SMS notifications), and SendGrid (email notifications). Your use of these services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. ScallyWagers shares only the minimum data necessary to deliver the Service through these integrations, as detailed in the Privacy Policy.
The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement through informal discussions. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days, the matter will be submitted to non-binding mediation conducted in New Hampshire by a mutually agreed-upon mediator. If mediation does not resolve the dispute, either party may pursue any remedy available at law or in equity.
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Venue and jurisdiction for any legal action arising from this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Hampshire, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its confidential information, intellectual property, or other proprietary rights.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ScallyWagers regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
