Terms of Service
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Tallyman (the "Service"), a web application for scoring debate competitions operated by FIRST AI HOLDINGS LLC ("Tallyman", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. The Service
Tallyman lets organizers and judges run debate rounds, score ballots, harmonize results across a panel, and keep a record of outcomes. The Service is provided free of charge. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, and we may set or change limits on use.
2. Accounts
You need an account to use most features. You agree to provide accurate information, to keep your password secure, and to be responsible for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at info@tallyman.net if you believe your account has been compromised. You must have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms, or the authority to accept them on behalf of a school, association, or organization.
3. Acceptable use
Your use of the Service is also governed by our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. In short, do not misuse the Service, interfere with its operation, attempt to access it in unauthorized ways, or use it to break the law or harm others.
4. Your content and data
You and your organization retain ownership of the information you enter, such as motions, team and speaker names, scores, and comments ("Content"). You grant us a limited license to host, process, and display that Content solely to operate and improve the Service for you. You are responsible for the accuracy of your Content and for having any permissions needed to enter information about other people, including debate participants. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle personal information.
5. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, design, branding, and the "Tallyman" name, is a proprietary platform of FIRST AI HOLDINGS LLC and is protected by intellectual-property laws. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service as permitted by these Terms. You may not copy, modify, reverse engineer, resell, or create derivative works from the Service except as allowed by law.
6. No warranty
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that results, totals, or tie-break outcomes will be free of mistakes. You are responsible for reviewing and confirming results before relying on or announcing them.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FIRST AI HOLDINGS LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, results, goodwill, or opportunities, arising from your use of the Service. Because the Service is provided free of charge, our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed one hundred US dollars (US$100).
8. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FIRST AI HOLDINGS LLC from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your Content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.
9. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy, or to protect the Service or other users. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
10. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
11. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The exclusive venue for any dispute will be the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
