Terms of Service

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are an agreement between you and Westy Studios LLC (“Westy,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) for your use of Hoops and related services (the “App”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using Hoops, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

These Terms supplement, and do not replace, applicable Apple terms, including the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

2. Eligibility

You may use Hoops only if you can legally agree to these Terms. Hoops is not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age of majority where you live, use it only with permission and supervision from a parent or legal guardian. Purchases must be made by an adult or with the account holder’s permission.

3. What Hoops does

Depending on your device, permissions, subscription, and settings, Hoops may let you:

• Log basketball shooting sessions from iPhone or Apple Watch.
• Track makes, misses, attempts, shot types, court zones, drills, challenges, workouts, goals, streaks, and progress.
• Use on-device Video Analysis and review or correct proposed shot results.
• View charts, trends, trophies, recaps, and share cards.
• Sync supported data through iCloud, receive optional notifications, and use premium features through Hoops Legend.

Features vary by device, operating system, region, App Store availability, subscription status, and permissions. We may change or discontinue features subject to applicable law.

4. Health, fitness, and safety

Hoops is a sports logging and training companion. It is not medical advice, health advice, professional coaching, injury-prevention advice, or a substitute for judgment, supervision, or a qualified professional.

• Use Hoops safely and stop activity that causes pain, dizziness, unsafe conditions, or other concern.
• Do not use the App in a way that distracts you from players, traffic, equipment, or court hazards.
• Workout, motion, heart-rate, calorie, shot-detection, Video Analysis, and progress data may be incomplete, delayed, or inaccurate.

5. Free access and subscriptions

Hoops may offer a free experience with limits. Hoops Legend is a paid tier with the premium features shown in the App. Plans, prices, billing periods, trials, introductory offers, and eligibility are shown before purchase and may vary by region and Apple settings.

• Subscriptions are sold through Apple’s in-app purchase system and automatically renew unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period or trial ends.
• Apple charges your Apple ID at purchase confirmation and again within 24 hours before renewal, unless you cancel in time.
• Deleting Hoops does not cancel a subscription. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings.
• Apple handles App Store billing and refund decisions. Refund requests must be made to Apple and are subject to Apple’s policies and applicable law.

6. Your content and Video Analysis

You retain ownership of session data, goals, preferences, videos, and other content you create or select in Hoops. You give us and the relevant service providers a limited license to process that content only as needed to provide, maintain, secure, support, analyze, and improve the App as described in the Privacy Policy.

Video Analysis and its detailed review run on your device. If you identify and confirm a hoop when the recovery screen asks for help, the current beta may send PostHog one bounded 512×512 JPEG crop centered on that rim, together with a normalized annotation, annotation source, image dimensions, and limited app/build metadata. The crop may include nearby court, players, or other people. Aggregate no-media reliability telemetry may also go to PostHog. Full source video, audio, additional clips, filenames, Photos identifiers, precise capture times, raw trajectories, embeddings, and the detailed review record are not sent through this path, and Video Analysis data is not sent to TikTok for ad attribution.

Only submit or record content you have the right and any necessary permission to use. You are responsible for respecting the privacy, publicity, and other rights of people who may appear in your footage, and for the content you share outside Hoops. Keep your own backups where appropriate; Apple services, device storage, third-party services, or the App may fail or change data.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use Hoops for unlawful, harmful, fraudulent, abusive, or unsafe purposes.
• Interfere with or gain unauthorized access to the App or related systems, or reverse engineer or scrape the App except as allowed by law.
• Bypass subscription limits, entitlement checks, Apple purchase flows, or technical protections.
• Infringe another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
• Misrepresent a relationship with Westy or imply that we sponsor or endorse your content without permission.

8. Sharing and third-party services

Hoops may let you share generated images or content through Apple’s share sheet, Messages, Instagram, or other destinations you choose. You are responsible for what you share and for following those services’ terms.

Hoops relies on Apple, RevenueCat, PostHog, TikTok, iCloud, HealthKit, notifications, and other third-party services. Their availability, policies, data practices, and content are outside our control, except where applicable law says otherwise.

9. Intellectual property

Hoops, including its software, design, graphics, text, logos, trademarks, workflows, and features, is owned by Westy Studios LLC or its licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the App under these Terms, no rights are transferred to you.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, create derivative works from, or use any part of Hoops except as allowed by these Terms or applicable law.

10. Changes, availability, and termination

We may update, suspend, limit, or discontinue all or part of Hoops. We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk for us or others, misused the App, or if continued access would be unlawful or commercially impractical.

We are not responsible for App Store delays, device incompatibility, Apple, iCloud, HealthKit, RevenueCat, TikTok, or PostHog issues, network outages, or other events outside our reasonable control.

11. Disclaimers

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Hoops is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, uninterrupted or error-free operation, data accuracy, workout accuracy, shot-detection accuracy, Video Analysis accuracy, and availability.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some may not apply to you.

12. Liability and indemnification

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Westy Studios LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, business interruption, goodwill, or substitute services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for a claim relating to Hoops or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid for Hoops in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim or (b) $50.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Westy Studios LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, service providers, and partners from claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses arising from your use of Hoops, your content, your violation of these Terms or law, or your violation of another person’s rights.

13. Disputes and governing law

Before filing a claim, contact us at hello@westystudios.com and try to resolve the dispute informally. To the extent permitted by law, disputes must be brought individually and not as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state where Westy Studios LLC is organized, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where your local law requires otherwise. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
