In operating our Site, SDL does not solicit nor does it wish to receive any confidential, secret, or proprietary information or other material from you through the Site, our mail and email addresses, or in any other way. Any information or material submitted or sent to SDL (including without limitation comments, questions, feedback, data, suggestions, ideas, and the like) will be deemed not confidential or secret. By submitting or sending information or other material to SDL, you represent and warrant that the information is original to you and that no other party has any rights to the material.

By communicating with SDL, including submitting or sending content to us, you grant SDL the royalty-free, unrestricted, world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, and fully sublicensable right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such content (in whole or part), including any information, suggestions, ideas, drawings or concepts contained in such content, worldwide and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed. Such license includes incorporating the content, in whole or in part, into an SDL feature.

SDL intends to resolve all disputes that may arise between it and its End Users in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner, preferably without the time and expense of litigation.

SDL shall respond within 10 business days with identical information from its perspective. You and a representative of SDL shall meet or communicate electronically within 10 business days of the delivery of the response, and as often as you and SDL mutually deem necessary or desirable thereafter, in an attempt to resolve the matter. If, within 60 days of the first communication, you and SDL fail to resolve the matter, you and SDL shall seek to mediate the dispute with a neutral third party. Neither party shall seek further legal action unless such mediation fails to achieve a resolution acceptable to both parties. You agree that you will not bring or be a party to any class-action lawsuit against SDL.

21. Entire Agreement; Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions, represents the entire agreement between you and SDL with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous written and oral representations, understandings, and agreements between us.

You agree and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts presiding in the State of Iowa, and agree to accept service of process by mail and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

22. Disclaimer of Liability for Game Outcomes

SDL provides scouting reports, statistics, recommendations, and other content on the Site to assist coaches in preparing for college baseball games. However, SDL makes no representations, warranties, or guarantees regarding the impact of such content on the outcome of any game, match, or athletic competition. You acknowledge and agree that the use of any scouting reports, recommendations, or other content provided on or through the Site is at your sole discretion and risk. SDL shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to any losses, costs, or damages resulting from wins, losses, or other outcomes of any team, player, or organization, whether in practice, competition, or otherwise, arising from or related to the use of, reliance on, or inability to use the Site or its content, including scouting reports and recommendations. This disclaimer applies regardless of the legal theory under which such liability is asserted, whether or not SDL has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if any available remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, SDL’s liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

23. Miscellaneous

If any part of the Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.

No failure or delay in enforcing any provision, exercising any option, or requiring performance, shall be construed to be a waiver of that or any other right in connection with the Agreement.

No action arising out of this Agreement or your access to or use of our Site, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose) and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.

If SDL does take any legal action against you as a result of your violation of the Agreement, SDL will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of such action, in addition to any other relief granted to SDL. You agree that SDL will not be liable to you or to any third party for termination of your access to, or use of, any of our Site as a result of any violation of the Agreement or for any reason at all.

You may not assign, by operation of law or otherwise, any rights or delegate any duties under the Agreement to any third party without prior written consent by SDL. Any purported assignment lacking such consent will be void at its inception. SDL may assign all or part of its rights and/or delegate all or part of its duties under the Agreement to any party, at any time, and in its sole discretion, upon notice of assignment by posting such notice on our Site.
