Rostara

Terms of Service

Effective date: April 26, 2026

These terms govern your use of Rostara, a sports team management app for organizing pickup games, tracking ratings, balancing teams, and managing shared group expenses. By creating an account or joining a group, you agree to these terms.

The service

Rostara is provided as a tool to help recreational sports groups coordinate. It is not a payment processor, banking service, or escrow service — the bookkeeping feature is a record-keeping ledger, not a money-movement system. Any actual money settlement between members happens outside Rostara.

Your account

• You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure.
• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account.
• One account per person. Don't impersonate someone else.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or are used to harm other users.

Acceptable use

While using Rostara, do not:

• Harass, threaten, or abuse other users.
• Post content that is unlawful, defamatory, or hateful.
• Use the service to send spam or unsolicited messages.
• Attempt to access another user's account, scrape data at scale, reverse-engineer the service, or interfere with its operation.
• Use Rostara to facilitate gambling, illegal payments, or any regulated financial activity.

Groups, roles, and content

• Owner. The user who creates a group is its owner. Owners can delete the group, regenerate invite codes, and promote or demote admins.
• Admins. Owners and admins manage the group's members, events, ratings, and bookkeeping.
• Members. Anyone who has joined a group via its invite code or claimed a profile.
• Your content. You retain ownership of content you post (notices, ledger notes, etc.) and grant Rostara a non-exclusive license to display it within your group as part of operating the service. We do not claim broader rights to your content.
• Group records. RSVPs, ratings, and ledger entries that occur within a group are part of the group's collective history. When you leave a group, the group retains that history under your former (now unclaimed) profile so the group's averages and balances stay consistent for the remaining members. See the privacy policy for details.

Ratings

Ratings exist to help admins balance teams. They are subjective opinions of individual raters, not objective claims of fact. Don't use ratings to harass or single out a member. Admins can disable ratings entirely for their group.

Service availability

Rostara is provided "as is" and "as available." We aim for reliability but cannot guarantee the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost. We may add, change, or remove features at any time. We will give reasonable notice for material changes that affect existing users.

Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rostara disclaims all warranties — express, implied, or statutory — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that bookkeeping records, ratings, or other data are accurate, complete, or fit for any external use such as legal evidence or tax filings.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Rostara and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profit, or goodwill arising from your use of the service. Our total liability for any claim arising from these terms or your use of Rostara will not exceed CAD $50 or the amount you have paid Rostara in the past 12 months, whichever is greater.

Termination

You can stop using Rostara at any time by leaving your groups and/or requesting account deletion. We can suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, with notice when possible.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be announced inside the app and the effective date above will be updated. Continued use of Rostara after a change constitutes acceptance of the new terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Ontario, Canada, except where applicable consumer protection laws require otherwise.
