Terms of Service

These terms set out the agreement between you and Michael Whyte, trading as GAA Pitch, when you use the service at gaapitch.com. “We” and “us” mean that entity, and it is the party you are contracting with. By using the service you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the service.

The service

GAA Pitch is a web app that helps grassroots GAA coaches plan training sessions and produce visual pitch layouts. We provide the service as-is and we may change, add to, or remove features over time.

Your account

You need an account to use the planning features. Accounts are managed through Clerk and are for a single named person — please do not share your sign-in. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity that takes place under your account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the service in any way that breaks the law,
• use it to defraud anyone, to send spam or bulk unsolicited messages, or to impersonate another person or club,
• scrape, copy, or republish the GAA Pitch drill library or any part of the service for commercial resale,
• upload content that infringes someone else’s copyright, is defamatory, or harms minors,
• attempt to disrupt the service, probe for vulnerabilities outside a coordinated disclosure, or gain unauthorised access to other users’ data.

Your content

The sessions and drills you create remain yours. By saving content to the service you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to store, process, and display it back to you so that the service works. We will only show your private content to you (or to accounts you explicitly share it with, if such a feature exists).

Drills that are part of the GAA Pitch shared library — drills marked as public in our catalogue — are authored or curated by us and remain our intellectual property. You can use them inside the service but you may not extract or republish them elsewhere.

AI drill generation

Paid plans can generate drill drafts, diagrams and coaching points from a description you write. When you use that feature:

• You are responsible for what you put in and what you do with what comes out. You must have the right to submit anything you upload or describe, and you should read a generated drill before you run it with players.
• Output can be wrong. Generated drills, coaching points and diagrams are drafts produced by a language model. They may be inaccurate, impractical or unsafe for your age group. They are not coaching, medical or safeguarding advice, and a qualified adult must judge whether a drill is appropriate before players do it.
• You keep the drills you generate and may use them inside the service and in sessions you share, on the same basis as drills you write yourself. We claim no ownership of your prompts or of the drafts produced from them, beyond the licence in “Your content” needed to store and display them.

You must not use the generation feature to produce:

• content that is illegal, or instructions for committing an offence,
• sexual content, content involving minors inappropriately, or non-consensual imagery of any kind,
• hateful, harassing or threatening material, or incitement to violence,
• malware, hacking instructions or anything intended to compromise a system or account,
• personal data about identifiable people published without a lawful basis, including players and children,
• content that impersonates a real person, club or governing body, or misrepresents where it came from,
• material that infringes someone else’s copyright or other rights, or
• anything designed to work around the safety limits on the feature itself.

We may filter or refuse a generation, remove content, restrict access to the feature, or suspend an account where we believe this section has been breached or where the risk otherwise requires it. If you believe something in the service infringes your rights, email support@gaapitch.com and we will investigate and remove infringing material; accounts that repeatedly infringe are closed.

Our intellectual property

The GAA Pitch name, logo, software, and shared drill library are owned by us and protected by copyright and trade-mark law. Nothing in these terms transfers ownership of those rights to you.

Plans, payment and renewals

GAA Pitch has a free tier and paid subscriptions. The current plans and prices are on the pricing section of our homepage, shown in your local currency where we support it.

Our payments are handled by Paddle.com Market Limited, which acts as merchant of record for every purchase. Paddle, not us, is the seller on your invoice. It takes the payment, charges and remits any VAT or sales tax due where you live, and handles refunds and chargebacks. Your purchase is therefore also subject to Paddle’s buyer terms, which govern the commercial mechanics of the sale, and you can manage your orders directly at paddle.net.

The parts worth stating plainly:

• Term and renewal. Subscriptions are sold monthly or annually and renew automatically at the end of each period, at the price then shown for your plan, until you cancel.
• Tax. Prices are shown inclusive of any VAT or sales tax that applies to you, so the amount displayed at checkout is the amount charged.
• Cancelling. You can cancel at any time from Settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for — you keep your paid features until then and are not billed again.
• Refunds. You can request a refund within 30 days of any payment. See the refund policy.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails we will tell you and keep your paid features on for a short grace period while the payment is retried. If it is not resolved, the subscription is cancelled and the account returns to the free tier. Your saved sessions are not deleted, but limits that apply to the free tier apply again.
• Price changes. We may change prices, and will give at least 30 days’ notice by email before a change affects your renewal. If you do not want to pay the new price, cancel before it takes effect.

Suspension and termination

You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account for a material breach of these terms, for non-payment of a subscription, where we believe there is a fraud or security risk to the service or to other users, or for repeated or serious policy violations — usually after a warning, immediately if the breach is serious. On termination your right to use the service ends; the sections that by their nature survive (intellectual property, liability, governing law) continue to apply.

Disclaimers

GAA Pitch is provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Sessions, drills, and coaching points are starting points for a coach — final judgement on what is appropriate for your players, including their safety, remains with you.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GAA Pitch is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data, or lost profits arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you have paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose — which, for free-tier users, is zero. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (for example, for death or personal injury caused by our negligence).

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. If we make a material change we will notify account holders by email. The “Last updated” date at the top tells you when the current version was published. Continued use of the service after a change means you accept the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Northern Ireland. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Northern Ireland. Nothing in these terms removes or limits any consumer-protection rights you have under the mandatory law of your country of residence.
