1. Acceptance of Terms
Section titled “1. Acceptance of Terms”These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and PointShot, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 311 Main Street, 3rd Floor, Worcester, MA 01608 (“PointShot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). The Terms govern your access to and use of the PointShot website at https://www.pointshot.com and any related applications, tools, and services we make available (collectively, the “Service”).
By creating an account, clicking a button indicating acceptance, or otherwise accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of another person, including a minor for whom you are a parent or legal guardian, you represent that you have the authority to bind that person to these Terms and that you accept the Terms on their behalf.
If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.
PLEASE READ SECTIONS 13, 14, AND 16 CAREFULLY. They describe important limitations on our liability, your assumption of certain risks associated with athletic training and related activities, and a binding arbitration agreement and class-action waiver that affect how disputes between you and PointShot are resolved.
2. Description of Service and Availability
Section titled “2. Description of Service and Availability”2.1 What PointShot Does
Section titled “2.1 What PointShot Does”PointShot is an online marketplace platform that connects athletes with sport coaches and specialists (“Specialists”) and provides tools to support training, evaluation, and development. Through the Service, you may:
- Create and manage profiles as an athlete, parent or legal guardian of an athlete, or Specialist.
- Discover Specialists, request services, and communicate with them.
- Upload videos and files (including images, PDFs, and word-processing documents such as development plans, nutrition plans, strength and conditioning plans, and related materials) for private use, breakdown, and sharing with Specialists.
- Use our in-product video editor and related tools to review, annotate, and analyze video content.
- Book and pay for services and products offered by Specialists through our checkout.
2.2 Role of PointShot
Section titled “2.2 Role of PointShot”PointShot is a marketplace and software platform. Specialists are independent third parties, not employees, agents, or representatives of PointShot. PointShot is not a party to the agreement for services between an athlete (or a parent or guardian on the athlete’s behalf) and a Specialist, is not responsible for the performance of Specialists, and does not warrant the quality, safety, legality, accuracy, or fitness for purpose of any services, products, content, or advice that Specialists provide. Section 13 describes this in more detail.
2.3 Service Availability
Section titled “2.3 Service Availability”The Service is offered from and intended for use by individuals located in the United States. It is not currently directed to or offered to individuals in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, or other jurisdictions outside the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any local laws that apply to your use.
2.4 Changes to the Service
Section titled “2.4 Changes to the Service”We may modify, suspend, or discontinue all or any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service, except as required by applicable law.
3. Eligibility, Account Registration, and Coach Credentialing
Section titled “3. Eligibility, Account Registration, and Coach Credentialing”3.1 Age and Eligibility
Section titled “3.1 Age and Eligibility”- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
- If you are under 18, you must have the consent of a parent or legal guardian, and the parent or guardian must accept these Terms on your behalf and maintain administrative access to your account as described in Section 4.
- You must have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in your jurisdiction.
- You must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.
3.2 Account Registration
Section titled “3.2 Account Registration”- You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration, and keep that information up to date.
- You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must promptly notify us at support@pointshot.com if you believe your account has been compromised.
- You may not create multiple accounts for the same person, share account access with others (except parental administration for minors as described in Section 4), or transfer your account to another person without our consent.
3.3 Specialist Verification and Credentialing
Section titled “3.3 Specialist Verification and Credentialing”Before offering or providing services through the Service, Specialists must complete our verification process. Verification may include identity confirmation, credential and certification verification, U.S. Center for SafeSport status verification, and other checks we determine are appropriate.
For hockey Specialists, PointShot may rely on certifications issued and maintained by governing bodies such as USA Hockey and Hockey Canada, including any publicly available certification-lookup tools those bodies provide, to verify coaching eligibility and SafeSport compliance. By registering as a Specialist, you authorize PointShot to look up and record the results of those verifications, and you represent that any certifications or credentials you claim in your profile are current, accurate, and held in good standing.
Specialists must:
- Maintain current certifications and SafeSport compliance for the duration of their use of the Service.
- Promptly update PointShot and their profile if a certification is revoked, suspended, or expires.
- Immediately notify PointShot at support@pointshot.com upon any event that may disqualify the Specialist from working or communicating with minors, including any disciplinary action, suspension, or revocation by a governing body, the U.S. Center for SafeSport, or a state licensing authority.
- Refrain from offering services through the Service if they become ineligible to do so under the rules of any applicable governing body, the U.S. Center for SafeSport, or applicable law.
- Complete Stripe Connect onboarding (including identity verification and the provision of tax information) in order to receive payouts.
Independent professional licensure. Specialists who provide services that, under applicable law, require professional licensure or certification (including, where applicable, registered dietitians or nutritionists; certified strength and conditioning specialists; athletic trainers; physical therapists; mental performance consultants; or licensed mental health professionals) operate under their own licensure and certifications and are solely responsible for maintaining them in good standing in every jurisdiction where they offer services. PointShot does not grant, evaluate the substantive validity of, supervise, or guarantee any Specialist’s professional licensure or scope of practice. By offering services, the Specialist represents and warrants that they hold all licenses and certifications required by applicable law for the services they offer and that they will not offer services they are not legally authorized to provide.
PointShot may delay, restrict, suspend, or terminate a Specialist account that fails to complete, maintain, or pass verification, or whose certifications or licensure become invalid or whose standing with a governing body, the U.S. Center for SafeSport, or a licensing authority changes adversely.
4. Accounts for Minors and Parent Administration
Section titled “4. Accounts for Minors and Parent Administration”4.1 Parental Consent and Administrative Access
Section titled “4.1 Parental Consent and Administrative Access”A parent or legal guardian (“Parent”) of an athlete under 18 must provide consent for the athlete’s use of the Service and maintain administrative access to the athlete’s account. With administrative access, the Parent may:
- Manage the athlete’s account settings, profile information, and privacy controls.
- Communicate with Specialists on the athlete’s behalf.
- Review, download, and delete the athlete’s information and User Content.
- Exercise the athlete’s privacy rights while the athlete is a minor.
The Parent is jointly responsible with the athlete for all activity on the account and for the athlete’s compliance with these Terms.
4.2 Purchases on Behalf of a Minor
Section titled “4.2 Purchases on Behalf of a Minor”A Parent may make purchases from Specialists through our checkout on behalf of a minor athlete. When a Parent does so:
- The Parent is the counterparty to the Specialist for the purchased service and is responsible for payment, including taxes, fees, chargebacks, and refunds.
- The Parent’s billing and payment information is collected and processed by Stripe and may be associated with the athlete’s account for recordkeeping and recurring-billing purposes.
- The Parent is responsible for ensuring the purchase is appropriate for the athlete and for supervising the athlete’s participation.
4.3 Uploads on Behalf of a Minor
Section titled “4.3 Uploads on Behalf of a Minor”A Parent may upload videos, images, documents, and other User Content on behalf of a minor athlete. When a Parent uploads content, the Parent represents and warrants that:
- The Parent has all rights, licenses, consents, and permissions necessary to upload, share, and have PointShot process the content, including from any third parties who appear in or are identified by the content.
- The upload and any resulting sharing complies with applicable laws, including laws regulating the collection and display of images of minors.
- The Parent has the legal authority to grant the license set forth in Section 6.2 with respect to the uploaded content.
4.4 Profile Visibility for Athletes Under 13
Section titled “4.4 Profile Visibility for Athletes Under 13”Athletes under 13 do not have publicly visible profiles. Their profiles are not publicly browsable or searchable on the Service. Athletes under 13 may still upload videos and files for their own private use and for in-product breakdown or analysis (for example, in our video editor), and a Parent may make purchases from Specialists on the athlete’s behalf, subject to the requirements of this Section 4.
4.5 Transfer of Control at Age 18
Section titled “4.5 Transfer of Control at Age 18”When an athlete reaches age 18, administrative control of the account transfers to the athlete. The athlete becomes solely responsible for the account and the data associated with it and is the only person who may exercise privacy rights with respect to their own data.
4.6 Persistent Parent Connection After 18
Section titled “4.6 Persistent Parent Connection After 18”After an athlete turns 18, a Parent may remain connected to the account only if the now-adult athlete elects to preserve the connection through in-product controls. The adult athlete may revoke the Parent’s continued access at any time, and from that point forward the Parent will no longer have administrative access, purchase authority on the athlete’s behalf, or the ability to upload content to the athlete’s account. PointShot is not responsible for any dispute between an adult athlete and a Parent concerning the continuation, revocation, or scope of a persistent connection.
5. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities
Section titled “5. User Conduct and Prohibited Activities”5.1 Acceptable Use

- Violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.

- Engage in any conduct that would violate the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s policies or Code; the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017; local, state, or federal laws; or other youth-protection rules.
- Post or share false, misleading, defamatory, fraudulent, hateful, discriminatory, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise harmful content, or content that sexualizes or exploits minors.

5.3 Reporting and Mandatory Reporters
Section titled “5.3 Reporting and Mandatory Reporters”If you become aware of conduct that violates these Terms or poses a risk to a minor or other user, please report it to support@pointshot.com promptly.
Mandatory reporting. Adults who are authorized to interact with minor athletes who participate in amateur sports may be “covered individuals” under the Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act of 2017, and many states have separate mandatory-reporter statutes that apply to coaches, trainers, and other adults working with minors. If you are a covered individual or otherwise a mandatory reporter under applicable federal or state law, you agree to comply with all applicable reporting obligations, including reporting suspected child abuse, sexual misconduct, or related conduct to the U.S. Center for SafeSport (where within its jurisdiction) and to local law enforcement or child protective services as required by state law. These reports are required immediately, in addition to (and not in lieu of) any obligation to notify PointShot. For more information, consult the U.S. Center for SafeSport’s SafeSport Code.
PointShot is not the recipient of mandatory reports under federal or state law and cannot make those reports on your behalf. Reporting conduct to PointShot does not satisfy any independent legal duty you may have to report to the U.S. Center for SafeSport or to public authorities.
6. User Content and Intellectual Property

6.4 No Use for Generative AI Training

PointShot may, in its discretion or as required by law or our Refund Policy, issue refunds through Stripe.

13.3 No Medical, Health, Nutrition, or Training Advice
Section titled “13.3 No Medical, Health, Nutrition, or Training Advice”POINTSHOT IS A TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM AND IS NOT A MEDICAL, HEALTHCARE, ATHLETIC TRAINING, PHYSICAL THERAPY, NUTRITIONAL, OR MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER. NOTHING ON THE SERVICE, INCLUDING ANY DEVELOPMENT PLAN, NUTRITION PLAN, STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING PLAN, ANALYSIS, MESSAGE, OR OTHER USER CONTENT, CONSTITUTES MEDICAL, HEALTH, NUTRITION, PSYCHOLOGICAL, OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM POINTSHOT. CONTENT PROVIDED BY SPECIALISTS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SPECIALIST, NOT POINTSHOT.
Specialists who offer services that under applicable law require professional licensure or certification (such as nutrition counseling, physical therapy, athletic training, strength and conditioning, mental performance consulting, or licensed mental health services) operate under their own professional licensure and are solely responsible for the lawfulness, scope, and quality of their services. PointShot does not warrant, evaluate, or supervise any Specialist’s professional licensure, scope of practice, or compliance with the rules of any licensing authority.
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY ATHLETIC TRAINING, CONDITIONING, NUTRITION, WEIGHT LOSS, OR OTHER HEALTH-RELATED PROGRAM, YOU (AND, FOR A MINOR, THE PARENT) SHOULD CONSULT A QUALIFIED PHYSICIAN OR OTHER LICENSED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. DO NOT DISREGARD PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ADVICE OR DELAY SEEKING IT BECAUSE OF CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH THE SERVICE.
13.4 Assumption of Risk
Section titled “13.4 Assumption of Risk”Athletic training, competition, and related activities involve inherent risks of injury, illness, property damage, and other harm. You acknowledge and agree that:
- You (and, for a minor, the Parent) voluntarily assume all risks associated with athletic activities undertaken in connection with services purchased through the Service, including risks of bodily injury, permanent disability, and death.
- You (and, for a minor, the Parent) are responsible for evaluating the suitability of a Specialist and their services, and for the athlete’s own safety during any in-person or remote activities with a Specialist.
- PointShot does not supervise and is not responsible for any in-person activities, sessions, or interactions between athletes and Specialists.
- Specialists are independent of PointShot, and any services they provide are subject to their own agreements with you.
13.5 Release
Section titled “13.5 Release”TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU RELEASE POINTSHOT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS, SERVICES PROVIDED BY SPECIALISTS, OR USER CONTENT.
If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code § 1542, which provides that “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
14. Limitation of Liability
Section titled “14. Limitation of Liability”TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:
- No Indirect Damages. IN NO EVENT WILL POINTSHOT OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF POINTSHOT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
- Aggregate Cap. POINTSHOT’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID OR WERE PAYABLE BY YOU TO POINTSHOT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100).
- Basis of the Bargain. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND POINTSHOT AND WILL APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY IS FOUND TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
15. Indemnification
Section titled “15. Indemnification”You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless PointShot and its officers, directors, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to:
- Your access to or use of the Service.
- Your violation of these Terms, including any representations or warranties you have made.
- Your User Content, including any claim that your User Content infringes or violates the rights of a third party.
- Your violation of applicable law.
- Services provided by you (as a Specialist) or purchased by you (as an athlete or Parent) through the Service, including injuries or harms arising from those services.
- Your violation of SafeSport rules, mandatory-reporter laws, professional licensure requirements, youth-protection rules, or governing-body rules applicable to you.
PointShot may, at its option, control the defense of any matter for which indemnification is sought with counsel of its choice, and you agree to cooperate in that defense. You may not settle any matter without PointShot’s prior written consent.
16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Section titled “16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration”PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH POINTSHOT AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF, INCLUDING BY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
16.1 Informal Resolution
Section titled “16.1 Informal Resolution”Before initiating any formal dispute, you and PointShot agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally. You agree to send PointShot a written notice of dispute (“Notice”) to support@pointshot.com that describes the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought. PointShot will attempt to resolve the dispute by contacting you at the email address associated with your account. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Notice, either party may begin arbitration.
16.2 Binding Arbitration
Section titled “16.2 Binding Arbitration”Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved under Section 16.1 will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by a neutral, nationally recognized arbitration provider (such as the American Arbitration Association) under its applicable consumer arbitration rules. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in English, and (unless the parties agree otherwise) in Wilmington, Delaware, or, at your election if you are a consumer, in the U.S. county in which you reside.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and formation of this arbitration agreement, except that a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of the Class Action Waiver in Section 16.4.
16.3 Jury Trial Waiver
Section titled “16.3 Jury Trial Waiver”TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND POINTSHOT EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.
16.4 Class Action Waiver
Section titled “16.4 Class Action Waiver”TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND POINTSHOT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court decides that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable with respect to any claim, that claim (but only that claim) will proceed in court rather than in arbitration.
16.5 Exceptions
Section titled “16.5 Exceptions”Notwithstanding Section 16.2, either party may: (a) bring an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual basis; and (b) seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service or to protect intellectual property rights.
16.6 Opt-Out
Section titled “16.6 Opt-Out”You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to support@pointshot.com within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Your notice must include your full name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.
16.7 30-Day Right to Reject Changes
Section titled “16.7 30-Day Right to Reject Changes”If PointShot materially amends this Section 16 after you accept these Terms, you may reject the amendment by sending written notice to support@pointshot.com within thirty (30) days of the amendment’s effective date, in which case the prior version of Section 16 will govern disputes between you and PointShot.
17. General Legal Terms
