Terms of Use

Last updated: October 16, 2026 · Effective: October 16, 2026

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you and Ball Knowledge ("Ball Knowledge", "we", "us" or "our") governing your use of the Ball Knowledge mobile application, the website at getballknowledge.net, our application programming interfaces, and any related content, features and services (together, the "Service"). By downloading, installing, accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Who may use the Service

• Age. You must be at least 21 years old, or the minimum legal age for sports wagering in the jurisdiction where you live if that age is higher, and in all cases at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. By using the Service you represent that you meet this requirement. We may ask for proof of age and may suspend or close any account we believe belongs to someone under age.
• Where you are. The Service is operated from the United States and is intended for users in the United States. You are responsible for complying with the laws of the place where you access it. We make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in any particular location, and we may restrict it anywhere at any time.
• Sanctions and restrictions. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, including United States export and sanctions laws.

3. What Ball Knowledge is, and is not

Ball Knowledge tracks what publicly available sports betting shows, podcasts and creators say, extracts the wagers they describe making or recommending ("picks"), and records how those picks turn out against actual game results and market prices. The Service displays those picks, the records that result, related game and market data, and tools for exploring them.

4. No advice; no guarantees

• All content in the Service, including picks, records, units, closing-line figures, trends, prop data, futures prices, answers from The Sharp, and anything else, is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not, and must not be treated as, betting, gambling, investment, financial, legal or any other advice, and it is not a recommendation or solicitation to place any wager.
• Past results do not predict future results. A caller's record, however good, says nothing reliable about their next pick. Sports outcomes are uncertain and wagering carries a risk of loss that you alone bear.
• Odds, lines, prices and scores are obtained from third parties, may be delayed, incomplete or wrong, and may differ from what any operator offers you. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness or availability of any data.
• Any decision to wager, and any wager you place with any operator, is solely your decision and your responsibility. We are not liable for any loss you incur in connection with a wager, whether or not it was informed by anything in the Service.

5. Picks, records and third-party content

5.1 Source material

Picks are derived from shows and other content that third parties publish publicly (for example on YouTube). Those creators are not affiliated with Ball Knowledge, have not endorsed the Service, and are not responsible for it. We display short quotations with attribution and a link to the original source so that you can verify the context yourself. The views expressed in that content are those of their creators, not ours.

5.2 How picks are read and graded

Picks are identified from transcripts, in substantial part by automated and AI-assisted systems, and are graded by our own methodology, which we may change at any time. That methodology is described in general terms in the app and on our site. Transcription and extraction are imperfect: a line may be mis-heard, a joke may be read as a bet, a speaker may be mis-attributed, a conditional bet may be counted, a pick may be missed. Records are therefore estimates and are not audited, certified or warranted. We may correct, re-grade, add, remove or hide any pick or record at any time, with or without notice.

5.3 Reporting an error

If you believe a pick, quote, attribution or grade is wrong, tell us at support@getballknowledge.net or through the report option in the app. Creators who believe they are misquoted or misattributed can write to creators@getballknowledge.net. We review reports in good faith but make no commitment as to outcome or timing.

5.4 Trademarks of others

League, team, player, sportsbook, show and creator names, logos and marks belong to their respective owners. They appear in the Service solely to identify the subject of a pick or a market. No sponsorship, endorsement or affiliation is implied.

6. The Sharp (AI features)

The Service may include an assistant ("The Sharp") that generates answers using artificial intelligence over our data. AI-generated output can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated or misleading, and may state things with confidence that are wrong. You must not rely on it for any decision, and it is never advice. We may log your prompts and the responses to operate, debug and improve the feature, as described in our Privacy Policy. Do not submit personal information about yourself or others, or anything unlawful, into The Sharp.

7. Accounts

Some features may require an account. You agree to give accurate information, keep it current, keep your credentials confidential and tell us promptly of any unauthorised use. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account. We may refuse, suspend or close accounts at our discretion, including for breach of these Terms or suspected under-age use.

8. Subscriptions and purchases

• Through Apple. Any paid subscription or in-app purchase is sold through Apple's App Store and is governed by Apple's terms and the price and terms shown at purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple ID.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple ID settings; deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple under Apple's policies. Except where the law requires otherwise, we do not provide refunds for partial periods or unused time.
• Free trials and price changes. A free trial converts to a paid subscription unless cancelled before it ends. We may change prices for future periods with notice; continuing to use the Service after a change takes effect means you accept it.
• No wagering funds. Nothing you pay us is a stake, deposit or wagering balance. Purchases buy access to features only.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:

• use the Service if you are under age or where it is unlawful;
• use the Service to operate, promote or facilitate any unlawful gambling, or to offer picks or wagering services to others;
• scrape, crawl, harvest or bulk-download any content or data from the Service, or access it by any automated means other than our documented APIs with our written permission;
• copy, resell, sublicense, redistribute, publicly display or create derivative works of the Service or its content, except for personal, non-commercial sharing of individual screens as the app permits;
• reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to extract source code, models, prompts or data from the Service, except to the extent the law expressly permits;
• interfere with the Service, probe or test its security, circumvent any access control or rate limit, or impose an unreasonable load on it;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation, impersonate any person or creator, or use the Service to harass, defame or threaten anyone, including the creators whose picks are tracked;
• remove or alter any notice, attribution, link or mark in the Service;
• use the Service to train, fine-tune or benchmark a machine-learning model, or to build a competing product;
• use the Service in breach of any law, or of any third party's rights.

10. Intellectual property and licence

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, data compilations, records, methodology, the Ball Knowledge name and logo and The Sharp, is owned by Ball Knowledge or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, database and other laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the app on an Apple device you own or control, and to use the website, for your own non-commercial purposes. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Third-party content remains the property of its owners.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free licence to use them without obligation to you.

11. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content in the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent at legal@getballknowledge.net with the subject "DMCA", including: (a) identification of the copyrighted work; (b) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and where it appears in the Service; (c) your name, address, telephone number and email; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent or the law; (e) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner; and (f) your physical or electronic signature. We may remove material, terminate repeat infringers and forward notices to the party who provided the material. Counter-notices may be sent to the same address.

12. Third-party services and links

The Service links to third-party sites and content, including the original shows on YouTube, and relies on third-party data providers. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, services, privacy practices or terms. A link is not an endorsement. The Service does not link to, promote or refer users to gambling operators.

13. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and how we use it. By using the Service you consent to those practices.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT AND DATA IN IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, TIMELINESS AND UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PICK, RECORD, DATA OR AI OUTPUT IS CORRECT, OR THAT USING THE SERVICE WILL PRODUCE ANY RESULT, INCLUDING ANY WAGERING OUTCOME. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

15. Limitation of liability; indemnity

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BALL KNOWLEDGE AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, LICENSORS AND DATA PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF MONEY WAGERED, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY WAGER YOU PLACE OR DECLINE TO PLACE, OR FOR ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY GAMBLING OPERATOR, CREATOR OR DATA PROVIDER. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND (B) FIFTY US DOLLARS (US$50). SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Indemnity. You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Ball Knowledge and the persons listed above from any claim, loss, liability and expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your wagering activity, your breach of these Terms or your violation of any law or third-party right.

16. Dispute resolution; arbitration; class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

• Informal resolution first. Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to contact us at legal@getballknowledge.net with a description of the dispute and give us 60 days to resolve it with you.
• Binding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved, any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, other than (i) a claim that qualifies for small-claims court and (ii) a claim for injunctive relief to protect intellectual property, will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this clause. The arbitrator decides all issues, including arbitrability, and may award the same relief a court could award to you individually. Hearings may be held by video or, if in person, in the county where you live. We will pay all AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees above US$50 for claims under US$10,000 unless the arbitrator finds the claim frivolous.
• Class-action and jury waiver. YOU AND BALL KNOWLEDGE EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will proceed in court, not arbitration, and will be stayed pending arbitration of all other claims.
• 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@getballknowledge.net with the subject "Arbitration opt-out", your name and the email on your account, within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.
• Time limit. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, to the extent the law allows.

17. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute are governed by the laws of the State of Florida and the federal laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Subject to Section 16, the state and federal courts located in Florida have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to their personal jurisdiction. If you live outside the United States you may have additional rights under local law that these Terms do not take away.

18. Apple App Store terms

If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store, the following also applies. These Terms are between you and Ball Knowledge only, not Apple; Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Your licence to the app is limited to use on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store usage rules, and is non-transferable except as those rules allow. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product-liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, or consumer-protection or similar claims, and for any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights, Ball Knowledge, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated a "terrorist supporting" country, and are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

19. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account in the app or by emailing us. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including breach of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive (including 4, 5, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 21) survive termination.

20. Changes to the Service or these Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Service at any time. We may revise these Terms; the "Last updated" date shows when. For material changes we will give notice in the app or on the site, and where we have your email we may email you. Your continued use after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

21. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any additional terms we present in the Service are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them to an affiliate or a successor.
• No agency. Nothing creates a partnership, joint venture, agency or employment relationship between you and us.
• Notices. We may notify you through the Service or by email. Notices to us go to legal@getballknowledge.net.
• California users. Under California Civil Code §1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or (800) 952-5210.
