Welcome to BSeen, a mobile application and online platform owned and operated by B Seen LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“BSeen,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). BSeen provides services to you subject to the notices, terms, and conditions set forth in this agreement (the “Terms of Service”). In addition, when you use any of our services, you will be subject to the rules, guidelines, policies, terms, and conditions applicable to such service. The Terms of Service apply to your access to and use of the BSeen mobile application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).
Please read these Terms of Service carefully before accessing or using the Platform. By accessing or using any part of the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access or use the Platform or any related services.
ACCEPTANCE AND ELIGIBILITY
The Platform is intended for use by athletes seeking to share their athletic content with college coaches, university recruiters, and other members of the athletic community. By accessing or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement, and that your use of the Platform will not violate any applicable law or regulation.
If you are accessing or using the Platform on behalf of a business, organization, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms of Service, in which case the terms “you,” “your,” or “user” shall refer to such entity.
PARENTAL CONSENT AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR MINOR USERS
The Platform may be used by minors (individuals under the age of 18, or such other age of majority as defined by applicable law in the user’s jurisdiction) only with the express consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. If you are a minor, you may not access, register for, or use the Platform unless your parent or legal guardian has read these Terms of Service in full, agreed to be bound by them, and accepted all legal responsibilities on your behalf.
By permitting a minor to access or use the Platform, the parent or legal guardian: (a) agrees to be bound by these Terms of Service personally and on behalf of the minor; (b) accepts full legal and financial responsibility for the minor’s use of the Platform, including all User Content (defined below) uploaded, posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available by the minor; (c) agrees to supervise the minor’s use of the Platform; (d) consents to BSeen’s collection, use, and disclosure of information related to the minor as described in these Terms of Service and BSeen’s Privacy Policy; and (e) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold BSeen harmless as set forth in the Indemnity section below with respect to all acts and omissions of the minor.
BSeen reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to require verification of parental or guardian consent at any time, and to suspend or terminate the account of any minor for whom such verification cannot be obtained. BSeen is not responsible for verifying the age of any user or the identity or authority of any person claiming to act as a parent or legal guardian.
ROLE OF BSEEN – INTERMEDIARY ONLY
BSeen is a technology platform that provides athletes with tools to upload competition videos, performance data, and other content, and to make that content discoverable by college coaches, university recruiters, and other users of the Platform. BSeen acts solely as an intermediary connecting users with one another. BSeen is not a recruiter, scout, agent, talent agency, employer, educational institution, or athletic program.
BSeen is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), USA Gymnastics, any conference, any college or university, any high school, any club, or any other school athletic program, governing body, or athletic organization, except to the extent expressly stated in writing by BSeen. References to such organizations, programs, schools, or events on the Platform are for descriptive and informational purposes only.
BSeen does not employ, endorse, vet, screen, evaluate, rank, recommend, or guarantee any athlete, coach, recruiter, school, program, or other user of the Platform. Any communication, relationship, agreement, recruitment process, evaluation, scholarship offer, commitment, contract, or other interaction between users of the Platform is solely between those users. BSeen is not a party to and has no responsibility or liability for any such communication, relationship, or interaction.
NO GUARANTEE OF RESULTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, OR OUTCOMES
You expressly acknowledge and agree that use of the Platform does not guarantee any particular result or outcome of any kind. Without limiting the foregoing, BSeen makes no representation, warranty, or promise that you will: (a) be discovered, contacted, recruited, evaluated, or considered by any college coach, university recruiter, scout, athletic program, or any other person or entity; (b) receive any scholarship, financial aid, grant-in-aid, roster spot, walk-on opportunity, recruitment offer, letter of intent, admission, employment, sponsorship, endorsement, or other opportunity of any kind; (c) achieve any specific level of exposure, visibility, profile views, follower count, engagement, or audience reach; or (d) achieve any specific athletic, academic, financial, professional, or personal outcome.
Recruiting decisions, scholarship determinations, admissions decisions, roster decisions, and all similar decisions are made entirely by the relevant schools, programs, coaches, and other third parties in their sole discretion, based on factors that are outside BSeen’s control and unrelated to BSeen. You assume all risks associated with use of the Platform, including the risk that no recruiter, coach, or program will view your content or contact you.
NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN USER CONTENT
The Platform is, by design, a public discovery tool intended to make athlete content visible to college coaches, university recruiters, and other users. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy in any content you upload, post, transmit, share, or otherwise make available on or through the Platform, including without limitation videos, images, audio, performance data, scoring information, statistics, biographical information, profile information, comments, messages, tags, captions, and any associated metadata (collectively, “User Content”).
User Content may be viewed, accessed, downloaded, copied, shared, redistributed, screenshotted, recorded, indexed by search engines, displayed, and otherwise used by other users of the Platform, by third parties, and by the public, including in ways that BSeen cannot anticipate, control, prevent, or reverse. Once User Content is uploaded or transmitted, BSeen cannot and does not guarantee the deletion, removal, or non-use of such User Content. You upload and share User Content entirely at your own risk.
You should not upload or transmit any content that you wish to keep private or confidential. Information about BSeen’s collection, use, and disclosure of personal information is described in the BSeen Privacy Policy. To the extent there is any inconsistency between these Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, these Terms of Service shall govern.
USER CONTENT AND SUBMISSIONS
The Platform contains functionality and interactive areas (“Public Areas”) that allow users to post, upload, transmit, and share User Content, including comments, videos, images, scores, performance metrics, profile data, messages, and other materials. Users may also share User Content via third-party social media platforms (“Social Media Platforms”) integrated with or linked from the Platform.
You are solely and exclusively responsible for all User Content you upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available on or through the Platform, and for the consequences of doing so. BSeen does not pre-screen, monitor, endorse, verify, or vouch for any User Content, and BSeen has no obligation to do so. Any reliance on User Content is at your own risk.
You agree that you will not post, upload, or transmit any User Content that infringes or violates the rights of any party, including without limitation copyright, trademark, trade secret, right of publicity, right of privacy, or any other intellectual property, contractual, or proprietary right. By submitting User Content, you agree to comply with these Terms of Service and any other applicable BSeen policies.
BSeen reserves the right, but has no obligation, to remove, modify, restrict access to, or refuse to display any User Content for any reason or no reason, at any time, without prior notice and at BSeen’s sole discretion, including User Content that BSeen believes violates these Terms of Service or its other policies, or that BSeen otherwise finds objectionable. By submitting any User Content, you further agree that such submission is non-confidential for all purposes and that BSeen has no obligation to keep it private or confidential.
BSeen is not responsible for the operation, terms of use, or policies of any Social Media Platform. Before using any Social Media Platform, you should review its terms of use and policies, including its privacy policy.
USER SUBMISSIONS – IMAGE, VIDEO, AND AUDIO FILES
You agree to only upload, post, or transmit photos, videos, audio, and other media on the Platform or any associated Social Media Platform that (a) you have created yourself or that you have all necessary rights, licenses, consents, releases, and permissions to transmit and license, and (b) do not violate the trademark, copyright, privacy, publicity, or any other rights of any other person or entity.
By uploading any media on the Platform or any associated Social Media Platform, you warrant that you have permission from all persons appearing in your media (or, if a person appearing in the media is a minor, from that minor’s parent or legal guardian) to make such contribution and to grant the rights described herein. You shall never post a photo, video, or audio recording of or with another person unless you have that person’s explicit permission and, where applicable, the permission of that person’s parent or legal guardian.
It is strictly prohibited to upload media of any kind that contains expressions of hate, harassment, abuse, threats, offensive images or conduct, obscenity, pornography, sexually explicit content, nudity, content involving the sexualization or exploitation of minors, or any other material that could give rise to civil or criminal liability under applicable law or regulations, or that otherwise may be in conflict with these Terms of Service or the Privacy Policy.
You agree that you will not upload any material that contains software viruses, malware, or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software, hardware, telecommunications equipment, or the Platform.
By uploading any media on the Platform or any associated Social Media Platform, including photos, videos, and audio: (a) you grant to BSeen a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, host, store, cache, copy, print, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, publish, post, transmit, stream, broadcast, create derivative works from, and distribute the media and any material included in the media, in any and all media, formats, and channels now known or hereafter developed, for any purpose, including without limitation the operation, promotion, marketing, and improvement of the Platform; (b) you certify that any person pictured, depicted, or audible in the submitted media (or, if such person is a minor, his or her parent or legal guardian) authorizes BSeen to exercise the rights described in clause (a); and (c) you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless BSeen and its members, managers, affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to the media and/or your failure to comply with these Terms of Service.
BSeen reserves the right, but has no obligation, to review any media before or after submission to the Platform and to remove any media for any reason, at any time, without prior notice, at BSeen’s sole discretion.
USER CONDUCT AND PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
If you use, post, or upload User Content on a Public Area or post on any Social Media Platform, you are solely responsible for your own communications, the consequences of posting those communications, and your reliance on any communications found in the Public Areas or on Social Media Platforms. BSeen and its licensors are not responsible for the consequences of any communications in the Public Areas or on Social Media Platforms. In cases where you feel threatened or believe someone else is in danger, you should contact your local law enforcement agency immediately.

The content posted on the Platform by BSeen, including text, graphics, images, logos, software, and other materials created by or for BSeen (collectively, “BSeen Content”), is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of the United States and foreign countries. BSeen authorizes you to view and use the BSeen Content solely for your personal, non-commercial use of the Platform. Title to the BSeen Content remains with BSeen or its licensors. Any use of the BSeen Content not expressly permitted by these Terms of Service is a breach of these Terms of Service and may violate copyright, trademark, and other laws.

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved to BSeen and its licensors.

You agree that you will not upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any Objectionable Content on or through the Platform, and you agree not to engage in abusive behavior toward other users.

BSeen will review reports of Objectionable Content and abusive users and will act on credible reports within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt by, as appropriate in BSeen’s sole discretion, removing the offending User Content and/or suspending or terminating the account of the user who provided the offending content or engaged in the abusive behavior. BSeen reserves the right to take such other action as it deems appropriate, including reporting unlawful content or conduct to law enforcement. BSeen’s response to a particular report does not waive any of BSeen’s rights, and BSeen has no obligation to take action on any report it determines, in its sole discretion, not to be credible or actionable.
