AI-Generated Results

The Auto Judge feature uses a third-party generative AI model (Google's Gemini API) to produce scores and a written explanation for each draft. These results are generated automatically, are intended purely for entertainment, and may be inaccurate, inconsistent, or subjective. They are not statements of fact, expert opinion, or objective measurement, and repeating the same draft may produce a different outcome. You should not rely on them for any purpose beyond playing the game. If you prefer a human decision, use Manual Judge instead.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DRAFTPARTY SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE APP.

Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the App shall not exceed the amount you paid for the App or its subscriptions during the twelve months preceding the claim.

8. Changes to the App and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, discontinue, or update the App or these Terms at any time.

If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the App after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

9. Third-Party Services

The App may rely on third-party services, including:

RevenueCat for subscription management

Apple App Store and Google Play Store for payment processing

Google AdMob for advertising

PostHog for product analytics

Google Gemini for AI-generated draft judging

Hosting and cloud infrastructure providers

Your use of those services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of third-party providers.

10. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if necessary to protect the App or its users.

Termination does not affect any payment obligations incurred before termination.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable in your place of residence where required by consumer protection laws. Otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located in Ontario, Canada, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

12. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Please read this section carefully. Where it applies and is permitted by law, it affects how disputes between you and DraftParty are resolved.

Informal Resolution First

Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at draftparty.app@gmail.com and describe the dispute. We will try in good faith to resolve it with you. If it is not resolved within 60 days, either party may proceed.

Binding Individual Arbitration

Where permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App that is not resolved informally shall be settled by binding individual arbitration rather than in court, administered under the rules of a recognised arbitration provider in the jurisdiction where you reside. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

Where permitted by applicable law, you and DraftParty each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

Your Right to Opt Out

You may opt out of this arbitration section by emailing draftparty.app@gmail.com with the subject "Arbitration Opt-Out" within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out affects only this section; the rest of these Terms continue to apply, and opting out will not affect your access to the App.

Small Claims

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies under that court's rules.

Where This Section Does Not Apply

This section does not apply where it is prohibited or unenforceable under applicable law. In particular, it does not limit any right you have as a consumer to bring a claim in court, to participate in a class proceeding, or to access a statutory dispute resolution body where such rights cannot be waived. This includes consumers in Ontario and Quebec, whose rights under applicable consumer protection legislation are preserved, and consumers in the European Union and United Kingdom. Nothing in these Terms removes any non-waivable statutory right.

13. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and DraftParty regarding your use of the App.
