PREPRANK TERMS OF SERVICE

Effective Date: August 27, 2026 Version: v1.1

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and PrepRank, LLC, a Louisiana limited liability company (“PrepRank,” “we,” “us”), governing your use of the prep-rank.com and www.prep-rank.com websites, the PrepRank mobile applications, and related services (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy. IMPORTANT: SECTION 14 CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. READ IT.

1. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. We use a neutral age screen at registration and do not permit users under 13.

If you are 13 to 17, you may use the Service only with the permission of your parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use, including any purchases.

You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information and the security of your credentials. Notify us immediately of unauthorized use. One account per person; accounts are not transferable.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, misrepresent age, or threaten the security or integrity of the Service.

2. The Service; Not Affiliated With LHSAA

PrepRank provides scores, schedules, standings, power ratings, statistical projections, and related content covering Louisiana high school athletics. PrepRank is an independent product of PrepRank, LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Louisiana High School Athletic Association (LHSAA), any school, or any school district. “LHSAA” and school names are used solely to identify the teams and events being reported on. Official power ratings, seedings, and playoff determinations are made exclusively by the LHSAA; where the Service displays a reproduction of official ratings, it is labeled as such, and PrepRank’s own predictive ratings are separately labeled as PrepRank’s estimates.

3. Predictions Disclaimer — No Gambling

All projections, win probabilities, predicted scores, playoff probabilities, and similar outputs are statistical estimates generated by simulation models. They are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. We do not guarantee their accuracy, and actual results will differ.

The Service is not a gambling, wagering, or betting product and provides no gambling advice. You may not use the Service, or any data obtained from it, in connection with any wagering or gambling activity, including in violation of Louisiana law prohibiting wagering on high school athletic events. Nothing in the Service is an inducement or recommendation to wager.

Pick'em contests on the Service are free to play, require no purchase, and award no cash or cash-equivalent prizes unless separate official contest rules are posted for a specific contest. Where official rules are posted, those rules govern that contest.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

4.1 Tiers and pricing

The Service offers a free tier and paid subscriptions (currently Premium Monthly, Season Pass, and Annual). Prices are in US dollars (USD) and are stated at purchase. Prices and features may change prospectively; we will provide at least 30 days’ notice of price changes, which take effect at your next renewal.

4.2 How billing works

Purchases made in the iOS app are billed by Apple through your Apple account, and purchases made in the Android app are billed by Google Play, in each case under their payment terms and refund policies. Manage or cancel those subscriptions in your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

Purchases made on the website are billed by our payment processor (Stripe). Manage or cancel in your PrepRank account settings.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each term (monthly or annual, as applicable) unless cancelled before the renewal date. Cancellation stops future renewals; the current period runs to its end. Except where required by law or by the applicable app store policy, payments are non-refundable and no prorated refunds are given for partial periods.

Season Pass covers the single sport season identified at purchase and expires automatically at the end of that season; it does not renew.

4.3 Cancellation and Non-Payment Policy

Our Cancellation and Non-Payment Policy, posted at prep-rank.com/cancellation, is incorporated into these Terms by reference. It describes how to cancel, what happens after cancellation, how failed payments and chargebacks are handled, and how to reactivate. Where that Policy is more specific than this Section 4 about cancellation, refunds, failed payment, freeze, or reactivation, that Policy controls; in all other respects these Terms control.

5. License and Acceptable Use

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may share individual screenshots and share cards generated by the Service’s sharing features for personal, non-commercial social use.

You may NOT, and may not enable any third party to:

scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-download any portion of the Service, or access the Service by automated means (bots, scripts, headless browsers, API abuse) without our prior written consent;

copy, reproduce, republish, resell, redistribute, or commercially exploit the Service or any data, ratings, projections, or compilations from it, or use them to create or train a competing product, dataset, ranking system, or predictive model;

reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, probe, or attempt to extract the Service’s source code, algorithms, model coefficients, or methodologies, except to the extent a prohibition is unenforceable under applicable law;

circumvent, disable, or interfere with paywalls, age screens, security features, rate limits, or access controls;

frame, mirror, or hotlink the Service, or remove or alter proprietary notices or PrepRank branding on generated content;

use the Service to harass, bully, threaten, or demean any person, including any student-athlete, coach, or official; post or transmit content that is defamatory, obscene, hateful, or that identifies a minor with harassing or sexualized intent; or dox any person;

submit false scores, statistics, or other false information; manipulate contests or leaderboards; impersonate any person; or misrepresent your age or school affiliation;

use the Service in violation of any law, including gambling laws, or infringe any third party’s rights.

We may investigate violations, throttle or block access, remove content, suspend or terminate accounts, and pursue all available legal remedies. Automated-access violations cause irreparable harm for which injunctive relief is appropriate, in addition to damages.

6. User Content

“User Content” means content you submit to the Service, such as display names, contest picks, and (where the feature is available) game scores or statistics. You retain ownership of your User Content and grant PrepRank a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, use, reproduce, display, distribute, and create derivative works from it in connection with operating, improving, and promoting the Service. You represent that your User Content is accurate to your knowledge and does not violate these Terms or any third party’s rights. We may moderate, edit for format, or remove User Content at our discretion but have no obligation to review it. Score and statistics submissions may be verified against official sources; we may reject or correct submissions.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service — including software, design, text, graphics, logos, the PrepRank name and marks, and all ratings, projections, analyses, compilations, and databases generated by PrepRank — is owned by PrepRank, LLC or its licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and database rights. Underlying facts of sporting events (scores, schedules) are not claimed as proprietary; PrepRank’s selections, arrangements, ratings, projections, and compilations are. No rights are granted except the limited license in Section 5.

8. Copyright Complaints (DMCA)

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice complying with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) to our designated agent: Thomas Richards, PrepRank, LLC, 1200 West Causeway Approach, Ste 21, Mandeville, Louisiana 70471, legal@prep-rank.com. We will respond to valid notices, may remove identified material, and will terminate repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

9. Third-Party Services

The Service may display or link to third-party content, sponsors, and services. PrepRank does not control and is not responsible for them. Sponsor placements are advertisements; a sponsorship is not an endorsement by any school or the LHSAA.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PREPRANK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. SCORES, RATINGS, AND PROJECTIONS MAY BE DELAYED, INCOMPLETE, OR INACCURATE. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES WARRANTIES OR RIGHTS THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING ANY NON-WAIVABLE WARRANTY UNDER LOUISIANA LAW.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) PREPRANK WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL; AND (B) PREPRANK’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID PREPRANK IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE OR (ii) FIFTY DOLLARS ($50). THESE LIMITS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PrepRank, LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of your User Content, your violation of these Terms, your violation of law (including gambling laws), or your infringement of any third party’s rights. This obligation does not apply to users under 18 except to the extent enforceable against a minor’s parent or guardian under applicable law.

13. Termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time (Account > Delete account). We may suspend or terminate your access for violation of these Terms, legal risk, or discontinuation of the Service; if we terminate a paid subscription without cause, your sole remedy is a prorated refund of prepaid, unused fees. Sections 3, 5–8, and 10–15 survive termination.

Non-payment and chargebacks. If a payment fails and is not cured, or if you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute, we may freeze access to paid features and/or cancel the paid subscription, in each case without a prorated refund of amounts already paid. A freeze suspends paid features only — it is not deletion of your account, and your free-tier access and your account data remain available. We will restore paid access when the amount owed is paid or the dispute is resolved in our favor. See the Cancellation and Non-Payment Policy for notice and reactivation details.

14. Dispute Resolution — Arbitration and Class Waiver

Informal resolution first: before filing any claim, you must email legal@prep-rank.com with a description of the dispute and give us 30 days to resolve it.

Binding arbitration: any dispute arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section. The arbitration will be held in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, or remotely by video, at your option. AAA consumer fee schedules apply; if your claim is for less than $10,000, we will pay arbitration fees beyond the amount of a court filing fee.

Class action waiver: all disputes must be brought in your individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated, or representative proceeding, and the arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) must proceed in court.

Carve-outs: either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or violations of Section 5 (automated access / scraping).

30-day opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing legal@prep-rank.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out.

15. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. For any claim not subject to arbitration, exclusive venue lies in the state or federal courts for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction there.

16. Apple- and Google-Specific Terms

For the iOS app: these Terms are between you and PrepRank, LLC only — not Apple. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the app. If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any); to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory compliance, or consumer protection claims, or for third-party intellectual property claims. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government prohibited or restricted party list. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you. You must also comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and any applicable third-party terms.

For the Android app: you must also comply with the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and has no obligations regarding the app.

17. General

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Cancellation and Non-Payment Policy, and any posted contest rules are the entire agreement between you and PrepRank regarding the Service. We may modify these Terms prospectively; material changes will be announced in the app or by email at least 15 days in advance, and continued use after the effective date is acceptance (changes to Section 14 do not apply to disputes that arose beforehand). If any provision is unenforceable, it will be reformed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder enforced. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale. Notices to you may be given in-app or to your account email. Force majeure applies to events beyond our reasonable control. Contact: PrepRank, LLC, 1200 West Causeway Approach, Ste 21, Mandeville, Louisiana 70471, support@prep-rank.com.
