Terms of Service

These Terms are an agreement between you and Depth Chart, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company doing business as Depth Chart ("Depth Chart," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using Depth Chart, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. For parent-managed accounts, the parent or guardian accepts these terms on the athlete's behalf. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

Depth Chart is an AI-powered basketball recruiting analytics platform. We provide data-driven tier assessments, school fit matching, and personalized roadmaps based on statistical analysis of college program data.

Depth Chart is for athletes age 13 and older; we do not permit accounts or athlete profiles for children under 13. There are two ways to hold a Depth Chart account. An athlete account: athletes 13 or older create and control their own account and are the "user" under these terms, and represent that they have a parent or guardian's permission to use Depth Chart where that permission is required. A parent-managed account: a parent or guardian creates the account on the athlete's behalf, is the account holder and contact, and is responsible for the accuracy of the athlete information provided. In both cases you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and your profile data accurate and current.

Depth Chart is currently in an invite-only beta. Invited members receive full access free for one year from signup, in exchange for honest product feedback. Your free year does not turn into a paid subscription. When it ends — or when the beta program ends, whichever is later — we will email you an invitation to purchase. Nothing is charged unless you choose to buy and agree to the terms of that purchase at the time. Beta features may change as we improve the product.

The platform is for personal recruiting research only. You may not commercially redistribute report data, scrape the platform, or use Depth Chart to contact athletes on behalf of third parties. You agree not to submit false or misleading profile information, impersonate another athlete, or use the platform to harass anyone. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

Depth Chart uses statistical models and large language models to produce assessments, rankings, matches, and written analysis. Model-generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, or inconsistent. Roster, coach, program, statistical, and admissions information is compiled from public sources and may be wrong or out of date — verify anything that matters directly with the school. Scores, rankings, tiers, and recommendations are analytical opinions and informational tools, not promises. Reports are informational — they are honest, data-backed assessments, not professional recruiting representation, coaching, or legal advice.

Depth Chart provides data-driven analysis based on publicly available program data and user-submitted profiles. Depth Chart does not guarantee recruiting outcomes, scholarship offers, coach responses, admissions results, roster spots, playing time, or placement at any school.

The platform and all reports are provided "as is" and "as available." While we work to keep our data current, Depth Chart makes no warranty — express or implied — as to the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any data, analysis, or report, including implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Roster, statistical, and program information is compiled from public sources and may contain errors or be out of date.

Nothing is charged during the free beta; the policy below governs paid purchases. Depth Chart offers a one-time Recruiting Fit Report for $99 and an optional annual subscription for $149/year. Prices may change in the future, but any price changes will be disclosed as required by law before they apply.

Parent or Guardian Purchases for Minor Athletes

If the athlete is under 18, a parent or legal guardian must create or approve the paid account, accept these Terms, and make any purchase on the athlete's behalf. By purchasing Depth Chart services for a minor athlete, you represent that you are the athlete's parent or legal guardian and are authorized to provide information and make purchases on the athlete's behalf.

Recruiting Fit Report Refunds

The $99 Recruiting Fit Report is final sale. Once your report has been delivered, the fee is non-refundable except where required by law.

Your Recruiting Fit Report is delivered when it has been generated, made available in your Depth Chart account, and we have emailed the address on your account to tell you it is ready.

If your report has not been delivered — for example, if generation fails and cannot be completed — contact us through our Help page at mydepthchart.com/help or by emailing support@mydepthchart.com. We will either complete and deliver your report within a reasonable time or refund the $99 fee in full. Any refund we do issue goes to the original payment method and typically posts within 5–10 business days, depending on your bank or payment provider.

This final-sale policy applies to the one-time Recruiting Fit Report fee. Annual subscription refunds are covered separately below.

Depth Chart does not guarantee recruiting outcomes, scholarship offers, coach responses, admissions results, roster spots, playing time, or placement at any school. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that appear fraudulent, abusive, duplicative, or made in bad faith, including repeated refund requests for the same athlete, account, or substantially similar report.

Annual Subscription

The annual subscription is optional and renews automatically each year at $149/year, plus applicable taxes, unless canceled before renewal. By starting an annual subscription, you authorize Depth Chart to charge your payment method today and automatically each year until you cancel.

You may request a refund of your first annual subscription charge, or of any annual renewal charge, within seven (7) calendar days after that charge is made, by submitting a billing request through our Help page at mydepthchart.com/help or by emailing support@mydepthchart.com. After seven (7) calendar days, the charge for the current period is non-refundable except where required by law.

You may cancel anytime through Settings → Billing, at mydepthchart.com/help, or by emailing support@mydepthchart.com. Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Unless otherwise stated at checkout or required by law, cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid subscription period, and you will continue to have access until that period ends.

Renewal Notices

For annual subscriptions, Depth Chart will send a renewal reminder before your subscription renews, as required by applicable law. Renewal notices will include the renewal amount, renewal timing, and instructions for cancellation.

Changes to Subscription Price or Terms

If we materially change the price or renewal terms of an active subscription, we will provide notice as required by law before the change takes effect, including information on how to cancel.

Depth Chart owns the platform: the software, the models and scoring methodology, the structure and presentation of reports, our brand, and everything we write. We do not claim to own the underlying facts a report describes — rosters, statistics, and program information are facts about the world.

When you buy a Recruiting Fit Report, you get a perpetual, non-exclusive right to use and share that report for the athlete's own recruiting — including sending it to family, advisors, and college coaches. What you may not do is resell it, republish it commercially, or use it to build a competing service.

You keep whatever rights you have in the information and materials you give us. You grant Depth Chart only the licence we need to host, process, analyse, and use that material to provide and improve the service. We do not take a licence to use an athlete's material in our advertising. You are responsible for the accuracy of what you submit, and for having the right to submit it.

If you are an adult account holder, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Depth Chart (and its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, affiliates and agents) against any third-party claims (and any related losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs)) arising out of or in connection with: (a) content you or any minor athlete associated with your account submit that is unlawful or infringes upon someone else's rights; (b) your or such minor athlete's use of the platform; or (c) your violation of these terms. Depth Chart reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You may not settle any claim without Depth Chart's prior written consent. This indemnity does not apply to claims resulting directly from Depth Chart's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud.

We may suspend or terminate an account for fraud, a security or legal problem, abuse of other people, or a material violation of these terms. If we terminate a paid account for one of those reasons, we will tell you why. If we terminate an account for our own convenience rather than for cause, we will refund the unused portion of any subscription. You may stop using Depth Chart at any time and delete your account from Settings.

Third-party services. The platform links to and relies on services we do not control, including school athletics websites. We are not responsible for their content or their terms.

Notices. We send legal notices to the email address on your account; you send them to hello@mydepthchart.com or 12512 Kara Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024. Email counts as writing.

Assignment. You may not assign these terms. We may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of the business.

Severability and waiver. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest stays in force. If we do not enforce a provision, we have not waived it.

Entire agreement and survival. These terms, with the Privacy Policy and anything you agreed to at checkout, are the whole agreement between us. The sections on ownership, disclaimers, liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination.

Events outside our control. Neither party is liable for a failure to perform caused by something genuinely outside its reasonable control.

Depth Chart is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NCAA, any athletic conference, or any college or university unless expressly stated.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Depth Chart, LLC's total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the platform, these terms, or our relationship (whether in contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, or otherwise) will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amounts you paid to Depth Chart during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Depth Chart and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunities, business interruption, or lost data, arising out of or in connection with the platform or these terms, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. These limitations apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under California law (including California Civil Code § 1668). If you are accepting these terms on behalf of a minor athlete, you represent and warrant that you are their parent or legal guardian with authority to bind them, and you accept these limitations both individually and on behalf of the athlete.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

Talk to us first. Before either of us starts an arbitration or a lawsuit, we each agree to try to resolve the dispute informally for 60 days. Send us a short written description of the problem and what you want, to hello@mydepthchart.com or by mail at 12512 Kara Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024; we will do the same to the email address on your account. Most problems are solved here, and neither of us gives anything up by trying. Any applicable statute of limitations will be tolled during this 60-day informal dispute resolution window.

Binding arbitration. If the dispute is not resolved in those 60 days, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these terms, the platform, your reports, purchases, subscriptions, refunds, our advertising or marketing statements, our privacy and data practices, or the relationship between you and Depth Chart — including any question of whether a particular dispute is subject to arbitration (except as provided below regarding the Class-Action Waiver) — will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and, where applicable, its Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (the rules available at www.adr.org), rather than in court. If the AAA will not administer the arbitration, it will be administered by JAMS under its consumer rules; if neither will, either party may ask a court to appoint an arbitrator under Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. Depth Chart will pay all administrative and arbitrator fees as required by applicable law and arbitration rules, including California Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1281.97 and 1281.98. This provision is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

Where arbitration happens. At your election, the arbitration will be conducted remotely, or in the county where you live, or in Los Angeles County, California. You never have to travel to us.

What the arbitrator can award, including public injunctive relief. The arbitrator may award any relief that would be available to you individually in court, including public injunctive relief to the extent applicable law makes that relief available and non-waivable, and may allocate arbitration fees and costs to any party whose claim or defense the arbitrator determines was frivolous or brought in bad faith, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the governing arbitration rules. Nothing in these terms waives any right to seek public injunctive relief where the law makes that right non-waivable. If a claim for public injunctive relief is finally determined not to be arbitrable, then only that claim will proceed in court, and it will be stayed until the remaining claims have been arbitrated; the rest of this arbitration agreement remains in force.

What is not covered. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court in the county where you reside or in Los Angeles County, California, provided the claim falls within that court's jurisdictional limits, and either party may ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent actual or threatened misuse of intellectual property or proprietary information.

Class-action waiver. You and Depth Chart each waive the right to a jury trial and the right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. This waiver does not apply to a claim for public injunctive relief that the law makes non-waivable. Notwithstanding any delegation clause in this provision, a court of competent jurisdiction — and not the arbitrator — shall have exclusive authority to determine the validity, enforceability, scope, or interpretation of this Class-Action Waiver and any claim for public injunctive relief.

Your right to opt out. You may opt out of this arbitration provision, without any penalty, by emailing hello@mydepthchart.com with your name and account email within 30 days of first accepting these terms. Opting out does not affect anything else in these terms. For parent-managed accounts, the parent or guardian accepts — or opts out of — this provision on the athlete's behalf. Any dispute not subject to arbitration must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

If part of this section cannot be enforced. If any part of this Governing Law & Dispute Resolution section is found unenforceable, that part is severed and the rest of the section stays in effect — except that if the class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then the entire arbitration agreement shall be void as to that claim (and only that claim), and it shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, subject to the jury trial waiver set forth above to the extent enforceable.

Disputes that already exist and prospective modifications. If we change this section, the change does not apply to any dispute of which we had notice before the change took effect. Any material modification to this section will become effective 30 days after notice of the revised terms is posted on the platform or communicated to you.

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. We will notify account holders of material changes by email, and continued use after that notice constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Two things are deliberately outside that: a change to the price or renewal terms of a subscription you already hold takes effect only with the separate notice and, where required, the separate consent the law calls for; and a change to the Governing Law & Dispute Resolution section does not apply to any dispute of which we had notice before the change.

For questions about these terms, contact us at hello@mydepthchart.com or by mail at 12512 Kara Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90024.
