  5. CONTEST STATISTICS, LIVE SCORING AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION PROVIDERS

    To the extent that Squads offers “live” statistics before or during gameplay and/or Contest lineup selection, all “live” statistics, scoring and other information provided through Squads and related information sources are unofficial. Further, during certain Contests, Squads may be reliant on third-party operators to provide “live scoring” of certain sporting events and matches. At times, you may not be able to see or access the most up-to-date information or “live scoring” for the relevant sporting event or match. Updates of displayed information may put a User at a disadvantage to other Users who have access to more updated information. Furthermore, there may be delays incorporated into the registered time of in-play statistics to prevent manipulation of rosters and cancellations. Regardless of the reason for the delay in information, Squadsshall not be liable for any such delay in provision of information or “live scoring.”
    Squads may also offer historical statistics for information purposes during a User&aspos;s selection of a Contest lineup. Squads is reliant upon third-party operators for this historical information. Offerings of historical statistics may contain errors or omissions due to any of a number of factors out of Squads&aspos; control, and we encourage Users to do their own research before assembling a lineup to enter into a Contest. Regardless of the reason for errors or omissions in historical statistics, Squads shall not be liable for a User&aspos;s reliance on historical statistics.
    “Live scoring,” information, statistics and their respective components are offered for informational and/or entertainment purposes only and are not used to determine the results of Contests. Neither Squads nor its third-party providers warrant or make any representations of any kind with respect to the information provided through the App and/or Site and related information sources. Squads and its third-party providers shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness, or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the Site and related information sources, shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information, nor shall Squads be responsible for any errors or losses you suffer or any other issues that result therefrom. Stat Corrections

    Squads takes every effort to ensure that accurate, up-to-date scoring is applied across all Contests. However, Squads does not guarantee the accuracy of any scoring or stat corrections. Official scores and results will be posted at the conclusion of the sporting event or competition once it has been declared official and all official box scores and statistics are posted. However, in some cases, clear and obvious stat corrections posted by eitherSquads' third-party data provider or the official statistics provider for the event or competition may be retroactively applied to entries and taken into consideration for determining how to score the Contest at Squads' discretion.

  6. CONTEST DISQUALIFICATION AND CANCELLATION

    Once your lineup is submitted you can no longer cancel.
  7. NO REFUND

    All paid entry fees are final. No refunds will be issued. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the person submitting a lineup, the lineup will be deemed submitted by the person in whose name the Account was registered.
  8. DISQUALIFICATION AND CANCELLATION BY SQUADS

    Users may participate in Contests only as specified in the Terms and Code of Conduct. Failure to comply with these Terms or the Code of Conduct will result in disqualification and, if applicable, Prize forfeiture or seizure.

    Squads, in its sole discretion, may disqualify you from a Contest or the entire Service, refuse to award Prizes, require the return of any Prizes, or suspend, limit, deactivate or terminate your Account if you engage in conduct Squads deems, in its sole discretion, to be improper, unfair, fraudulent, in violation of the Terms or Code of Conduct or is otherwise adverse to the operation of the Service or in any way detrimental to other users. Improper conduct includes, but is not limited to: falsifying personal information, including payment information, required to use the Service or claim a Prize; violating eligible payment method terms, including the terms of any cash rewards payment card; accumulating points, Contest wins or Prizes through unauthorized methods such as unauthorized scripts or other automated means; tampering with the administration of the Service or trying to in any way tamper with the computer programs associated with the Service; obtaining other entrants’ information and spamming other entrants; abusing the Service in any way; or otherwise violating these Terms. You acknowledge that the forfeiture and/or return of any Prize shall in no way prevent Squads from informing the relevant authorities, and/or pursuing criminal or civil proceedings in connection with such conduct.

    We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to cancel or suspend any Contest (or any portion thereof) for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to, the safeguarding of the administration, security, fairness, integrity or proper operation of the Contest (or any portion thereof), including without limitation when a Contest Prize Table has been tampered with. Squads may also cancel a lineup or projection that we determine, in our sole discretion, to be linked to clear errors or fraudulent activity. We may provide you with notification of such cancellations or suspensions but will not be obliged to do so. In the event that a Contest is canceled altogether, no Contest entry fee will be payable by you and any amounts that were to be used for the purpose of entering the Contest will once again be made available to you via your Account.
