By creating an account, accessing, or using the Services, you ("you" or "User") agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Services.
1. Description of Services
PlayFuel provides a cloud-based payment and club management platform designed for youth sports clubs and similar youth organizations. The Services enable Clubs to collect registration fees, dues, and other payments from families; manage player and family information; send communications; process digital waivers; and present a professional, branded experience to parents and guardians. PlayFuel processes payments through Stripe, a third-party payment processor.
2. Definitions
- "Club" refers to any youth sports club, program, team, or organization that creates an account on PlayFuel to use the Services.
- "Club Administrator" or "Admin" refers to the individual who creates or manages a Club account on PlayFuel, including coaches, directors, and authorized staff.
- "Parent" refers to the parent, guardian, or authorized family member who interacts with the Services to make payments, complete registrations, sign waivers, and manage their family's account.
- "Player" refers to the youth athlete participating in a Club's program whose information is managed through the Services.
3. Account Registration and Responsibility
3a. Club Accounts
The individual who creates a Club account on PlayFuel represents and warrants that they have the authority to bind the Club to these Terms. The Club Administrator is responsible for all activity that occurs under the Club's account, including maintaining the confidentiality of login credentials and ensuring that any additional users granted access to the account comply with these Terms.
You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to keep your account information current. PlayFuel reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that contain false or misleading information.
3b. Parent Accounts
Parents who register through a Club's PlayFuel portal agree to provide accurate information about themselves and their children. Parents are responsible for maintaining the security of their account credentials and for all activity under their account.
3c. Age Requirements
Club Administrator accounts may only be created by individuals who are at least 18 years of age. Parent accounts may only be created by individuals who are at least 18 years of age. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to create accounts or directly provide personal information through the Services.
4. Fees and Billing
4a. Platform Subscription
Club accounts are billed a monthly platform subscription fee based on the selected plan tier (Starter, Growth, or Pro). The subscription fee is charged on the same calendar day each month and is non-refundable. Plan details and pricing are available on our website at www.playfuelapp.com.
4b. Per-Player Fee
In addition to the platform subscription, Clubs are charged a fee of $1.50 per active player per month. This fee is calculated based on the number of active players in the Club's account as of each billing date and is charged automatically to the payment method on file. By activating your account, you expressly agree to this ongoing per-player charge.
4c. Payment Processing Fees
Payments collected from families through PlayFuel are subject to standard payment processing fees as determined by Stripe. By default, processing fees are passed through to the paying parent or guardian as a convenience fee. Clubs may opt to absorb these fees in their account settings. Processing fee rates are determined by Stripe and may be subject to change.
4d. Fee Changes
PlayFuel reserves the right to modify subscription fees, per-player fees, or other charges with at least thirty (30) days' written notice via email to the Club Administrator. Continued use of the Services after a fee change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the new fees.
5. Refund Policy
All fees paid to PlayFuel are non-refundable. This includes platform subscription fees, per-player fees, and any other charges billed to the Club. PlayFuel does not issue refunds for partial months of service, unused features, or account cancellations made mid-billing cycle.
Refund policies for payments collected from families (registration fees, dues, etc.) are determined solely by the Club. PlayFuel is not responsible for issuing, mediating, or enforcing refunds between Clubs and families. Clubs are encouraged to establish and communicate their own refund policies to families prior to collecting payments.
6. Payment Processing and Stripe
PlayFuel uses Stripe, Inc. as its primary payment processor. All payment transactions processed through PlayFuel are handled by Stripe's infrastructure and are fully PCI-DSS compliant. PlayFuel does not store credit card numbers or sensitive payment credentials on its own servers.
By using PlayFuel, you also agree to Stripe's Terms of Service (https://stripe.com/legal) and Connected Account Agreement, which govern the processing of payments through the platform.
Inquiries related to payment processing, transaction disputes, or Stripe account issues should be directed to Stripe directly at https://stripe.com/support.
PlayFuel is not liable for delays, errors, or service interruptions caused by Stripe or any third-party payment network.
7. Parent Payment Disputes and Chargebacks
If a parent or guardian initiates a payment dispute or chargeback with their bank or credit card issuer for a payment collected through PlayFuel, the Club is ultimately responsible for the disputed amount and any associated chargeback fees assessed by Stripe.
PlayFuel will make reasonable efforts to assist Clubs in responding to disputes but is not liable for the outcome of any dispute or chargeback proceeding.
Clubs are responsible for maintaining clear communication with families regarding fees, billing schedules, and refund policies to minimize the risk of disputes.
8. Data Ownership and Privacy
8a. Club Data Ownership
All data entered into PlayFuel by or on behalf of a Club — including player information, family contact details, payment records, waivers, and team rosters — belongs to the Club. PlayFuel does not claim ownership of Club data.
8b. No Selling or Sharing of Data
PlayFuel maintains a strict policy against selling, renting, sharing, or otherwise distributing Club data or family data to third parties for marketing, advertising, or any purpose unrelated to providing the Services. Data is used solely to operate and improve the platform.
