REGISTRATION DATA

In order to access some of the services, applications, programs or sweepstakes offered by the USTA Family of Companies, you may be required to register and/or provide personal information, such as name, email, telephone number and birthdate (“Registration Data”). Although information may be required to participate in certain activities or promotions, participants provide that information voluntarily. The USTA Family of Companies adheres to strict data management protocols. Those protocols vary based on the category of participation with the USTA Family of Companies.

By registering, you agree to: (i) provide true, accurate and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form; and (ii) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You acknowledge and agree the USTA Family of Companies shall have no liability associated with or arising from your failure to maintain accurate Registration Data, including but not limited to your failure to receive critical information about the USTA site or any mobile service or your account. You further agree the USTA Family of Companies is authorized to verify such Registration Data. The information we obtain through your use of the USTA site, mobile site or any USTA Family of Companies or US Open app is subject to our Privacy Policy. Every subsequent USTA Family of Companies email communication will carry a simple opt-out or unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email. Any suspected abuse of your Registration Data should be reported to the USTA Family of Companies at the contact listed below for copyright infringement.

You acknowledge and agree that the USTA Family of Companies, in management of certain programs, sweepstakes, or promotions (“USTA Programs”), may share your information with USTA Sections, Districts or States, affiliated businesses, tennis industry partners and organizations, sweepstakes partners, USTA Sponsors or third parties engaged directly by us to enable you to use and gain access to the USTA site or USTA Programs (for example, US League organizers or technology providers) (a “Permitted Third Party” and collectively, “Permitted Third Parties”). Your registration constitutes permission for the USTA Family of Companies and Permitted Third Parties to contact you for transactional, promotional and/or marketing purposes. Your relationship with each Permitted Third Party is independent of the USTA Family of Companies and subject to that Permitted Third Party’s terms of use and/or privacy policy. By registering, you acknowledge and agree that the USTA Family of Companies does not and cannot control the actions of any Permitted Third Party, and you further agree to release and hold harmless the USTA Family of Companies from any and all liability, injury, loss or damage of any kind that may arise from or out of your interaction with such Permitted Third Party.

You shall not, and shall not attempt to (i) falsify or misrepresent your identity or any Account Information, (ii) create an account for another person, (iii) access, use, or interfere with an account other than your own. You are entirely responsible for all activity occurring under your Account Information, regardless of whether such activity is caused by you or by a third party using your Account Information, even if you have not sanctioned such third party use. The USTA Family of Companies reserve the right in their sole discretion to refuse access to the USTA site or services provided through it, terminate accounts and usage rights, edit or remove content or Submissions (as defined below) and cancel orders or requests for materials made through the USTA site.

MERCHANDISE DISPLAY; AVAILABILITY

While we provide links to websites that sell products and services on the Site, we do not sell products or Services directly on the Site. If you click on links to products or Services on the Site, you will be redirected to other websites, some of which we or our affiliates operate and some of which are operated by third parties. See Section titled “Content Linked to Any Site” below for discussion of links and embedding. If we feature merchandise or services, we make reasonable efforts to display merchandise on the USTA site as accurately as possible. Sometimes, however, factors including the display and color capabilities of your computer monitor, may significantly affect what you see on your screen. We are not responsible for the display of any color or detail of merchandise on your computer screen and do not guarantee that that such display is accurate. In addition, some featured merchandise may be available only in limited quantities or only while supplies last. Although we will attempt to remove any items that are out of stock from the USTA site in a timely manner, display of an item on the USTA site is not a guarantee that the item is currently available or that it will be available on a later date.

SUBMISSIONS

If you transmit or otherwise deliver Submissions to the USTA Family of Companies, you grant the USTA Family of Companies a nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable (or the longest period permitted under law) license (with the right to sublicense and assign) to exploit, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and display, transmit, make, sell, create derivative works from and distribute such Submissions or incorporate such Submissions into other works in any form or medium and through any means or modes of distribution or technology now known or hereafter developed. You hereby agree and represent to the USTA Family of Companies that you own or have been granted the necessary intellectual property and other rights in the Submissions (including, without limitation, a waiver of any applicable moral rights) to grant such license to the USTA Family of Companies, that no such Submissions are, or shall be, subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of the USTA Family of Companies and that the USTA Family of Companies shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Without limitation of the foregoing, the USTA Family of Companies shall be entitled to unrestricted use of the Submissions for any purpose whatsoever, commercial or otherwise, without compensation to the provider of the Submissions.
