15. Term, Suspension And Termination
Sport Source has the right, but not the obligation, to investigate and prosecute any violations of these Terms or the law to the fullest extent of the law. In addition, and as set in these Terms, Sport Source may take a range of actions against you, including but not limited to removing or disabling access to any or all of your Member Content or deactivating or canceling your Listing(s) or Sport Source Account, for a violation of the Terms. While Sport Source endeavors to diligently review all content that would potentially be nefarious or egregious, Sport Source takes no responsibility for content that evades the vetting system. Sport Source may refuse to surface, delete or delay any Listings, ratings, reviews, or other Member Content or cancel any pending or confirmed Bookings. Sport Source may terminate your Account without notice if (i) you breached these Terms or other policies referenced herein or on the Platform, (ii) you have provided inaccurate, fraudulent, outdated or incomplete information during your Sport Source Account registration or Listing process or thereafter, (iii) you have violated applicable laws, regulations or third party rights, or (iv) Sport Source believes in good faith that such action is reasonably necessary to protect the safety or property of other Members, Sport Source or third parties, for fraud prevention, risk assessment, security or investigation purposes.
Sport Source may deactivate or delay Listings, reviews, or other Member Content, cancel any pending or confirmed Bookings, limit your use of or access to your Sport Source Account and the Platform, temporarily or permanently revoke any special status associated with your Sport Source Account, or temporarily or permanently suspend your Sport Source Account if you have breached these Terms or policies, including material and non-material breaches, and if you receive one or more poor ratings from Hosts or Users (with the definition of “poor” to be at Sport Source’s sole and absolute discretion).
If Sport Source takes any of the measures described herein relating to a Host, it may (i) communicate to your Users or Hosts that a pending or confirmed Booking has been cancelled, (ii) refund your Users in full for any and all confirmed Bookings, irrespective of applicable cancellation policies, (iii) support your Users, on an exceptional basis, in finding potential alternative Sport Spaces. In the event Sport Source deems any of the foregoing actions necessary, in its sole discretion, such Host will not be entitled to any compensation for confirmed Bookings that were cancelled.
If and when these Terms have been terminated or amended, you are not entitled to a restoration of your Sport Source Account or any of your Member Content. If your access to or use of the Sport Source Platform has been limited or your Sport Source Account has been suspended or this Agreement has been terminated by us, you may not register a new Sport Source Account or access and use the Sport Source Platform through a Sport Source Account of another Member.
Sport Source may access, preserve and disclose any of your information if required to do so by law, or if it believes in good faith that it is reasonably necessary to (i) respond to claims asserted against Sport Source or to comply with legal process (for example, subpoenas or warrants), (ii) enforce or administer Sport Source’s agreements with Users, such as these Terms, (iii) for fraud prevention, risk assessment, investigation, customer support, product development and de-bugging purposes, or (iv) protect the rights, property or safety of Sport Source, its Users, or members of the public. Sport Source reserves the right, at any time and without prior notice, to remove or disable access to any Collective Content that Sport Source, at its sole discretion, considers to be objectionable for any reason, in violation of these Terms or otherwise harmful to the Platform.
You may terminate your Account by canceling it on the Platform or by sending Sport Source an email to info@sport-source.com in which you request that Sport Source terminate your Account. If you cancel your Account as a Host, any confirmed Bookings will be automatically cancelled, and your Users will receive a full refund of the Sport Space Fee. No refunds of Service Fees will be provided. If you cancel your Account as a User, any confirmed Booking will be automatically cancelled, and you will be issued a refund in accordance with the cancellation policy referenced herein.
If your access to or use of the Platform has been limited or your Account has been suspended or these Terms have been terminated by Sport Source, you may not register a new Sport Source Account or attempt to access and use the Platform through other Accounts.
16. Taxes
Tax regulations may require Sport Source to collect appropriate tax data from Hosts, or to withhold taxes from payouts to Hosts, or both. You as a Host are solely responsible for keeping the information in your tax forms current, complete and accurate. If you as a Host fail to provide Sport Source with documentation that Sport Source determines to be sufficient to reduce Sport Source’s obligation (if any) to withhold taxes from payments to you, Sport Source reserves the right to freeze all payouts to you until resolution, to withhold such amounts as required by law, or to do both.
You as a Host understand and agree that you are solely responsible for determining (i) your applicable Tax reporting requirements, and (ii) the Taxes that should be included and including Taxes to be collected or obligations relating to applicable Taxes in Listings. You are also solely responsible for remitting to the relevant authority any Taxes included or received by you. Sport Source cannot and does not offer tax related services or advice to any Members.
You understand and acknowledge that appropriate governmental agencies, departments or authorities (the “Tax Authority”) where your Sport Space is located may require Taxes to be collected from Users or Hosts on the amount paid for the right to use and/or occupancy of Sport Spaces, and to be remitted to the respective Tax Authority. We reserve the right to collect taxes that would be wanted by any governmental authority. The laws in jurisdictions may vary, but these taxes may be required to be collected and remitted as a percentage of the Sport Space Fees set by Hosts, a set amount per day, or other variations, and are sometimes called “occupancy taxes,” “hotel taxes,” “lodging taxes,” “transient taxes,” “sales and use taxes,” “value added taxes,” “room taxes” or “tourist taxes” (collectively, “Occupancy Taxes”).
17. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy ("Policy") applies to the sport-source.com website ("Website"), "Sport Source" mobile application ("Mobile Application") and any of their related products and services (collectively, "Services") and outlines how Sport Source, Inc. ("Sport Source, Inc.", "we", "us" or "our") addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you ("you" or "your") may submit a copyright infringement complaint.
Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us and we ask our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright office website.
Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use states that brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you have considered fair use, and you still wish to continue with a copyright complaint, you may want to first reach out to the user in question to see if you can resolve the matter directly with the user.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is infringing. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.
We may, at our discretion or as required by law, share a copy of your notification or counter-notification with the account holder engaged in the allegedly infringing activity or for publication. If you are concerned about your information being forwarded, you may wish to hire an agent to report infringing material for you.
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material available on our Services infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a written copyright infringement notification ("Notification") using the contact details below pursuant to the DMCA by providing us with the following information:
- Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notification, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
- Identification of the infringing material and information you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity), including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL or URLs of the web pages where the allegedly infringing material may be found.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
All such Notifications must comply with the DMCA requirements. You may refer to a DMCA takedown notice generator or other similar services to avoid making mistake and ensure compliance of your Notification.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a pre-defined legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint has satisfied these requirements, our response may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing material as well as a permanent termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.
If we remove or restrict access to materials or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information concerning the removal or restriction of access, which may include a full copy of your Notification (including your name, address, phone, and email address), along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Sport Source, Inc. reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a DMCA copyright infringement notification if it fails to comply with all the requirements of the DMCA for such notifications.
A user who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright infringement Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please take the time to read through the Notification, which includes information on the Notification we received as well as instructions on how to file a counter-notifications.
To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets out the information specified in the list below:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been restricted and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was restricted.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or restricted.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or if you are outside of the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person or company who provided the original infringement notification.
- A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Please note that you may be liable for, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or misidentification, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any portion of this Policy, Sport Source, Inc. reserves the right to take no action upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we receive a counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.
The process described in this Policy does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms relating to the Services at any time, effective upon posting of an updated version of this Policy on the Services. When we do, we will send you an email to notify you.
If you would like to notify us of the infringing material or activity, you may send an email to info@sport-source.com
"Intellectual Property Rights" means all present and future rights conferred by statute, common law or equity in or in relation to any copyright and related rights, trademarks, designs, patents, inventions, goodwill and the right to sue for passing off, rights to inventions, rights to use, and all other intellectual property rights, in each case whether registered or unregistered and including all applications and rights to apply for and be granted, rights to claim priority from, such rights and all similar or equivalent rights or forms of protection and any other results of intellectual activity which subsist or will subsist now or in the future in any part of the world.

19. Equitable Relief
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of Oregon for purposes of any such action by us.
20. Communications Decency Act Notice
Sport Source may be a provider of “interactive computer services” as defined under the Communications Decency Act, 47 U.S.C. Section 230, and as such, our liability for defamation, libel, product disparagement, and other claims arising out of any Collective Content is limited as described therein. We are not responsible for any Collective Content. We neither warrant the accuracy of the Collective Content nor exercise any editorial control over Collective Content, nor do we assume any legal obligation for editorial control of Collective Content or liability in connection with Collective Content, including any responsibility or liability for investigating or verifying the accuracy of any Collective Content.
21. Privacy
Please review Sport Source’s Privacy Policy, which also governs your access and use of this Platform. By using the Platform you agree to said Privacy Policy.
22. Assumption of Risk And Waiver
You as a User agree that you are aware of and assume all risks for yourself as well as any other User or invitees attending your Booking. Neither Sport Source nor the Hosts are responsible for any accidents caused or incurred by you as a User or any of your invitees, related to physical activity or otherwise. You hereby release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue Sport Source or the Hosts for any injuries arising from or related to use of any Sport Space. You agree that some Listings may carry inherent risk, and by participating in such services, you choose to assume those risks voluntarily. For example, some Listings may carry risk of illness, bodily injury, disability, or death, and you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Sport Spaces. You assume full responsibility for the choices you make before, during and after your participation in a Sport Space. If you are bringing a minor as an additional invitee, you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor throughout the duration of your time in the Sport Space and to the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to release and hold harmless Sport Source from all liabilities and claims that arise in any way from any injury, death, loss or harm that occurs to that minor during physical activity or in any way related to the Sport Space you choose.
23. Indemnification And Limitation of Liability
You agree to forever release, defend, discharge, indemnify, and hold Sport Source and its affiliates and subsidiaries, and their members, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with (a) your access to or use of the Platform or Collective Content or your violation of these Terms; (b) your Member Content; (c) your (i) interaction with any Member, (ii) Booking of a Sport Space , or (iii) creation of a Listing; and (d) the use, condition or Booking of a Sport Space by you, including but not limited to any injuries, losses, or damages (compensatory, direct, incidental, consequential or otherwise) of any kind arising in connection with or as a result of a Booking or use of a Sport Space. You hereby waive any potential liability for delays in payment on account of force majeure. Sport Source is not responsible or liable for nonperformance caused by telecommunications failures, nonperformance of vendors, fires or other acts of nature, strife or acts of political discord, or other events outside its reasonable control (each a “Force Majeure”).
You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your use of the platform. If you permit or authorize another person to use your Sport Source account in any way, you are responsible for the actions taken by that person. Neither Sport Source nor any third party involved in providing payment services will be liable for any incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with these terms, from the use of or inability to use the services, from any communications, interactions or meetings with other persons with whom you communicate or interact as a result of your use of the services, whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Sport Source has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so, in those states, the herein limitation shall be to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law.
Host Liability
You acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the entire risk arising out of you providing access to and use of your Sport Space and broader premises and member content, any relationship or communication you have with any user is owned by you, Sport Space owner. Sport Source will not be liable for any special, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to lost profits, loss of data or loss of goodwill, service interruption, computer damage or system failure or the cost of substitute products or services, or for any damages for personal or bodily injury or emotional distress arising out of or in connection with (i) these terms, (ii) from the use of or inability to use the Sport Source platform, (iii) from any communications, interactions or meetings with other members or other persons with whom you communicate, interact or meet with as a result of your use of Sport Space, or (iv) from your publishing or booking of a listing, including whether based on warranty, contract, tort (including negligence), product liability or any other legal theory, and whether or not Sport Space has been informed of the possibility of such damage, even if a limited remedy set forth herein is found to have failed of its essential purpose. Except for our obligations to pay amounts to applicable Sport Space hosts pursuant to these terms or an approved payment request under the Sport Space owner’s insurance, in no event will Sport Space aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these terms and your use of the platform including, but not limited to, from your publishing or booking of any listings via the Sport Space platform, or from the use of or inability to use the Sport Space platform and in connection with any booking or interactions with any other members, or the amounts paid by Sport Space to you in the twelve (12) month period prior to the event giving rise to the liability. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Sport Space and you. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some jurisdictions, including the state of new jersey, do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. Therefore, some of the above limitations on warranties in this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms of use shall affect any non-waivable statutory rights that apply to you.
Sport Source is not a party to the Host’s process for determining an acceptable Booking and is not involved in the scope of the agreement. Sport Source may in its sole discretion increase or decrease the time period within which the Hosts must confirm or reject such Booking. Any such modification will be posted to these Terms within thirty (30) business days of the decision to change the standard for fees.
