Terms & Conditions

About these terms

These terms govern your use of Slam101 ("we", "us"), a fantasy basketball game available on the web and mobile browsers, operated on a non-professional basis by Funsho David, an individual publisher (contact: [email protected]). By creating an account you accept these terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

What Slam101 is (and isn't)

Slam101 is a free-to-play fantasy sports game: you build rosters of real-world basketball players, set daily lineups, and earn playground points based on those players' real-game statistics, supplied by a third-party sports data provider.

• No gambling, no cash prizes. Slam101 awards only in-game points, rankings, and badges. Nothing you win has monetary value, and nothing can be cashed out.
• No affiliation. Slam101 is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the NBA, any team, any player, or any players' association. Player names and statistics are used solely to report factual sporting performance.
• Data accuracy. Game statistics come from a third-party source. We apply them in good faith but cannot guarantee they are error-free or delivered on time; scoring corrections may occasionally be applied after the fact.

Accounts and eligibility

• You must be at least 15 years old and legally capable of accepting these terms. If you are under 15, a parent or legal guardian must accept these terms on your behalf. If your country of residence sets a higher minimum age for online services (in the EU this ranges from 14 to 16 depending on the country), that higher age applies to you instead.
• One account per person. Creating or using multiple accounts, including to manipulate matchmaking or rankings, is prohibited (see the Fair play section).
• You are responsible for the security of your credentials and for all activity on your account. Keep your email address current: it is how we send service notifications.

Buckets

Buckets are the in-game entry tickets required to create or join a playground.

• Grant and regeneration. New accounts receive 2 buckets. Buckets regenerate automatically at +1 on the 1st and +1 on the 15th of each month.
• Cap. You can hold at most 3 buckets. Any credit beyond the cap, whether from regeneration or purchase, is forfeited, not banked. Check your balance before buying.
• When buckets are spent. A bucket is not spent when you create or join a playground; it is deducted from each of the 5 members at the moment the playground fills and starts. A playground cancelled before it fills costs nothing.
• Purchases. You can buy 1 bucket for €1.49 at any time, regardless of subscription tier, subject to the 3-bucket cap.
• Nature of buckets. Buckets are a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access game features. They have no monetary value, cannot be exchanged or sold, and are not refundable except where the law requires. They may be cancelled if your account is terminated for breach of these terms.

Assistant Coach Mode (subscription)

Assistant Coach Mode is an optional paid tier that unlocks: the Statistics page, inline injury flags when setting lineups, the "Prepare for Me" roster and lineup optimizers (with draft strategy selection), and deadline and injury email alerts.

• Plans. Weekly Pass at €1.99 per week, or Monthly Pass at €3.99 per month. Prices include VAT where applicable.
• Auto-renewal. Both plans renew automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel. Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period already paid. No pro-rata refunds for partial periods, except where the law requires.
• Payment. Payments are processed by Stripe. You must have the right to use the payment method you provide. If a renewal payment fails, we may retry it and suspend the subscription's benefits until payment succeeds.
• Right of withdrawal (EU consumers). You normally have a 14-day withdrawal right for online purchases. By purchasing a subscription or a bucket pack, you expressly request immediate delivery of digital content and acknowledge that, once delivery has begun, you lose your right of withdrawal.
• Price changes. We may change subscription prices for future billing periods with at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app. If you disagree, cancel before the new price takes effect.

Gameplay rules

The detailed rules of play (playground structure, roster building, lineup deadlines, scoring rules, boosters, rankings, promotions and demotions, and season resets) are described in the game itself and form part of these terms. In particular, you acknowledge that:

• Deadlines are strict. Roster and lineup deadlines are enforced automatically (Paris time). If you miss the roster deadline, a default roster is built and submitted for you and a −10 playground-point penalty applies.
• Some boosters affect other players. The Choke booster deducts 10 points from a targeted opponent's daily score. Selecting or being targeted by such boosters is a normal part of the game and grounds for neither complaint nor compensation.
• Rankings reset. Global rankings reset at the start of each NBA season.
• Rules evolve. Playground parameters (duration, roster ratios, scoring thresholds) may change over time; changes apply only to playgrounds created after the change.
• Postponed or cancelled real-world games may lead us to adjust, re-score, or void affected game days at our reasonable discretion.

Free Agency and matchmaking

If you join playgrounds through Free Agency, you are matched using a skill-based power score derived from your global ranking, as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not guarantee any particular match quality, opponent skill level, or time to fill.

Fair play

The following are prohibited and may lead to score adjustments, GP forfeiture, suspension, or termination without refund of buckets or subscription periods already consumed:

• Multi-accounting, or arranging playgrounds with throwaway accounts to farm ranking points.
• Collusion, win-trading, or any manipulation of matchmaking, scoring, or rankings.
• Exploiting bugs instead of reporting them to [email protected].
• Automated access (bots, scrapers) or interfering with the service's operation.
• Offensive, impersonating, or infringing display names.

You acknowledge that positive ranking gains are automatically weighted down when opponents show abuse signals, such as very new accounts or few completed playgrounds.

Availability and changes to the service

Slam101 is provided "as available". We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time, including beta features, where purchases are disabled. Planned features (push notifications, additional leagues, additional languages and currencies) are announcements of intent, not commitments. We aim for continuous availability but do not guarantee it, particularly during maintenance or third-party outages (sports data, email, payment providers).

Intellectual property

The Slam101 name, software, design, and content (excluding third-party sports data and trademarks belonging to their owners) are our property or licensed to us. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the service for private, non-commercial play.

Termination

You may delete your account at any time from Settings; deletion does not refund buckets or remaining subscription time except where the law requires. We may suspend or terminate your account for breach of these terms, with notice where feasible. Sections that by nature survive termination (liability, intellectual property, disputes) survive.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law (including for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or personal injury). Subject to that, we are liable only for foreseeable damage caused by our breach of these terms, and our total liability is capped at the greater of €50 or the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. We are not liable for losses of purely in-game value (points, rankings, badges, buckets) resulting from fair application of the game rules.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer, you also benefit from any mandatory protections of the law of your country of residence. Before any court action, you may use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform or contact our designated consumer mediator: a consumer mediator will be designated before paid features launch. Otherwise, disputes go to the competent courts of France, without prejudice to mandatory consumer venue rules.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the game evolves. Material changes will be announced in the app or by email at least 15 days before taking effect; continuing to use Slam101 after that date constitutes acceptance. If you disagree, stop using the service and delete your account.
