Curling IO Terms of Use
Parties and scope
2508941 Ontario Inc. operates Curling IO ("we", "us"). Curling IO provides registration, competition scheduling, club websites and administration services (the "System"). These Terms describe use of the System's public services and the common conduct and payment restrictions below. By accessing or using those services, you agree to the applicable Terms. If you do not agree, do not use those services. We do not require a platform agreement checkbox on public pages or public checkout.
Authenticated administration is subject to the separate Administrator Agreement, presented after sign-in. Your club's registration waivers, purchase conditions and policies remain separate. The common conduct and payment rules apply alongside the Administrator Agreement; document conflicts follow the subject-specific rule in Law and contact.
Accounts and children
Use only accounts and profile-management permissions you are authorized to use. Keep your sign-in and recovery methods secure and tell [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized access. Provide true, accurate, current and complete information within the purposes of the features you use.
The System is not intended for independent use by minors, especially children under 13. A minor must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the System. A guardian or authorized organization may manage a participant profile through the available features.
Conduct
You may not use the System:
- For fraud or activities that violate the laws of Canada or another applicable jurisdiction.
- To disrupt or deny service to another user, or carry out activities likely to do so.
- To impersonate another person or access an account or information without authorization.
- To upload, post, email or transmit offensive, obscene, unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful, privacy-invasive or otherwise objectionable content; material designed to cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety; material that infringes another person's patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights; unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, commercial material, junk mail, spam, chain letters, pyramid schemes or other solicitation; or viruses or other code intended to interrupt, destroy or limit software, telecommunications equipment or hardware.
- To process online payments through Stripe for raffle tickets, including 50/50 tickets. Curling IO does not permit that use of its Stripe payment processing. We reserve the right to disable a club's online-payment processing to avoid violating Stripe's terms.
Club registrations and payments
Your club or association sets its offerings, prices, eligibility rules and cancellation or refund policies. Contact that organization about participation and its purchase policies. A participant profile, a place in a team lineup or an administrator adding you to an event does not by itself confirm that a registration has been submitted or paid.
Payment processing follows the terms of the processor used for that purchase. The System records orders, payments and related references so the organization can manage its transactions. The Stripe raffle restriction above applies to the use of Curling IO's Stripe processing; this section does not authorize an equivalent transaction through another processor.
Administration and optional tools
The Administrator Agreement describes administrator account security, handling of participant information, authorized delegates, external tools, exports, audit records and use of the optional Curling IO assistant and Website Studio. Its acceptance covers the administrator's account across the Organizations they administer. It does not grant additional permissions or sign a commercial contract for an Organization.
Integrations, external agents and the built-in assistant are optional. Accepting the Administrator Agreement does not activate an integration, enroll you in assistant use or grant an external agent access. The built-in assistant does not require a second Agent Access Agreement. For customer administrators, the separate Agent Access Agreement applies when a chosen external agent attempts native WebMCP access, with a separate grant for the user and Organization. Sysadmins retain their existing exemption from that separate agreement and grant, their full native registry and no-agent-notice behavior, but must accept the Administrator Agreement. Using browser automation does not bypass server permissions or the applicable conduct and data-handling duties.
Automated access and copying
Use the System only through access you are authorized to use. You may not scrape, crawl, harvest, copy, extract, cache, mirror or republish System content through automation without our written permission, except for the authorized uses stated below or uses permitted by law or an applicable licence.
You may not use System content or collected listings to build, operate, populate, update or maintain a competing directory, finder, marketplace, database, registration service or similar service. You may not systematically extract Curling IO's proprietary features, screens, tools or workflows to reproduce the service or develop a competing service. These restrictions cover bots, scripts, browser automation, data-extraction tools, AI agents and repeated manual copying of club, event, program, price, registration, availability, schedule or contact information.
These restrictions permit ordinary authorized use of the System and its page tools, legitimate integrations, and authorized access to, export or migration of your Organization's own information. They do not restrict separately licensed open-source components, rights under an applicable licence or law, general ideas or independently developed implementations. Moving your own authorized data to another service does not by itself violate these restrictions.
General-purpose search engines may index public pages for ordinary search results if they respect robots.txt and do not use indexed content to operate a competing curling registration service, directory or event finder. We may block, throttle, challenge or log automated access and attempts to use automated interfaces.
Intellectual property and your materials
Curling IO software, original interface content, design assets, trademarks and confidential technical information remain protected by applicable intellectual-property law. You may refer or link to public pages, use the available public features, and use the service for authorized club activities, including commercial club operations and permitted integrations. Keep applicable copyright and other rights notices intact. These permissions do not transfer ownership of Curling IO materials.
Except for permitted uses above, including the authorized own-data export and migration uses in Automated access and copying, an applicable licence or rights provided by law, do not reproduce, republish, modify, distribute, extract, integrate or redeliver Curling IO content, page copy, descriptions, screenshots, logos, structured data or compiled listings without our written permission. Brief links or snippets that direct people to the original Curling IO page are permitted. We may request removal of material copied contrary to these Terms or applicable law and pursue available remedies.
You retain your rights in materials you supply, subject to other people's rights, including rights in personal information. You must have authority to supply, publish and share those materials. You authorize the processing needed to provide, secure and support the service and the optional features you choose, as described in the Privacy Statement. This does not grant unrelated promotional or model-training rights.
Privacy and outside services
Our Privacy Statement describes the information we handle, purposes, providers, locations, retention and privacy requests. We remain responsible for our own handling of information and our provider arrangements. Nothing in these Terms removes applicable privacy duties or rights that cannot be waived. Curling IO is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and will comply with it.
An administrator may choose outside integrations, agents, automation or destinations for exported information. The administrator's responsibilities for those choices are described in the Administrator Agreement. Such choices do not make an outside service a Curling IO-operated service or transfer our responsibility for our own platform and integration defects to the administrator.
Service condition and availability
Except for express commitments and requirements that applicable law does not allow us to exclude, the service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the extent permitted by law, we exclude implied warranties and conditions about accuracy, suitability, fitness for a particular purpose and freedom from errors, harmful components or third-party rights.
We do not promise complete or current content, uninterrupted or error-free access, or correction of every defect. Review information and assistant output before relying on it. These qualifications do not remove our express privacy and security commitments or non-excludable duties. Information from support does not create an additional warranty unless we expressly agree to it.
Responsibility and claims
Each person remains responsible for their conduct and the account access and disclosures they authorize. We remain responsible for our own acts, omissions and legal duties. Downloading information or choosing an outside service does not exclude our responsibility for our own conduct.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Curling IO is not liable for damages or other monetary compensation for loss arising from use of, or inability to use, the service. This includes direct and indirect loss arising from errors, interruptions, loss of data, lost profits or the activities of outside tools.
This exclusion does not apply to liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude. It does not cancel monetary obligations expressly agreed in a separately signed service contract, required refunds or amounts otherwise owed. It does not remove our legal duties or express privacy and security commitments. Monetary compensation for breach of those duties or responsibilities is excluded only to the extent the law permits.
Service changes and ending access
We may change the service or restrict or suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the service or information, address misuse or a breach, or comply with law. Where practical and appropriate, we will explain the reason and allow an opportunity to address it. Urgent security or legal circumstances may require action without advance notice.
Ending access does not automatically erase records or override legal, financial, security or privacy retention requirements. Contact [email protected] about access to information you are entitled to obtain.
Changes to these Terms
We identify the version and effective date and give notice of material changes to affected users, subject to applicable requirements. Where continued use is a permitted basis for acceptance of public Terms, continuing to use the affected public service after the effective date indicates acceptance. We obtain a separate affirmative choice when required; these public Terms do not create a public platform agreement prompt.
Administrator acceptance follows the versioned Administrator Agreement rather than continued use alone. Agent Access acceptance and revocation remain separate.
Law and contact
Ontario law and the applicable laws of Canada govern, subject to rights and requirements that cannot be excluded by agreement. Comply with applicable local and export laws when accessing the System from another jurisdiction. We do not promise the service is lawful or suitable in every jurisdiction.
Questions can be sent to [email protected]. If a provision cannot lawfully be enforced, the remaining provisions continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
The public Terms of Use provide common conduct and payment rules. The Administrator Agreement governs administrative account duties. The Agent Access Agreement adds conditions only for customer access through external native WebMCP agents. If those documents conflict, the document specifically governing that subject controls for that subject. A separately signed service contract applies only to its stated parties and scope. The Privacy Statement describes data practices; none of these documents waives applicable statutory duties or rights that cannot be excluded.
