Slipstream Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of Slipstream (the “Platform”), operated by Saelum Labs (Godswill Erhunmwunse) (“Slipstream,” “we,” “us”). By creating an account, registering a team, or participating in any league or event hosted on Slipstream, you agree to these Terms. Our Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and is incorporated by reference.

• You must be at least 13 years old to create a Slipstream account, matching Discord's own minimum age requirement.
• Individual leagues or events may set a higher minimum age or additional eligibility requirements (e.g. region restrictions, rank requirements, ID verification for prize payouts). These will be stated on the event's registration page and form part of your agreement to that event.
• You need a valid Discord account to sign in.

• You're responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your profile (rank, region, platform IDs) accurate.
• One player, one account per season. Multi-accounting to circumvent bans, division placement, or eligibility rules is prohibited and grounds for suspension or removal (see Section 5).
• We may suspend or terminate an account for violating these Terms, providing false eligibility information, or at the direction of a league/event organizer for that event.

• Team captains and managers are responsible for their roster, including confirming each player meets the eligibility requirements of the division/event they register for.
• Rosters are subject to the schedule an event sets (e.g. locked before playoffs); roster changes outside that window may require admin approval.
• Registering a team for a season constitutes agreement to that season's specific rules (division requirements, match scheduling windows, etc.) in addition to these Terms.

By participating, you agree not to:

• Cheat, exploit bugs, or use unauthorized third-party software to gain a competitive advantage.
• Manipulate or attempt to manipulate match outcomes (match-fixing), including for betting purposes.
• Harass, threaten, or discriminate against other players, admins, or spectators.
• Impersonate another player, team, or Slipstream staff.
• Submit falsified scores, replays, or eligibility information.
• Abuse the dispute process (e.g. filing bad-faith disputes to delay or disrupt competition).

We (and, for a specific league, that league’s staff) may take action in response to a violation of these Terms or an event’s rules, at our discretion and proportionate to the conduct, including:

• A warning.
• Forfeiture of a game, match, or series.
• Disqualification from a division, bracket, or event.
• Temporary or permanent suspension from the Platform.
• Withholding, delaying, or cancelling a prize (see Section 8).

Decisions on disputes and enforcement are made via the admin dispute-review process, and every admin override or resolution is recorded with the reasoning given. Enforcement decisions are ultimately at our discretion.

Match results are recorded on the Platform once league staff confirm or resolve a submitted score. Slipstream is built to incorporate ballchasing.com replay data for automatic result verification, but that integration isn’t live yet — today, results are entered and confirmed by league staff, including through the dispute process below. This section will be updated once automatic replay ingestion launches.

If you believe a result is incorrect (e.g. a disconnect, a scoring error, suspected cheating), you may raise a dispute through the Platform within the window stated for that event. Disputes raised after that window may not be considered.

We may request replay files, screenshots, or other evidence to resolve a dispute, and may order a match or game to be replayed, uphold the original result, or apply another remedy at our discretion.

• Where an event offers a cash or in-kind prize, eligibility to receive it is conditioned on: meeting that event's stated eligibility requirements (including any age/verification requirements beyond the platform floor), compliance with these Terms and that event's rules throughout the event, and (if requested) providing identity/payment information sufficient to process the payout through our payments provider.
• Entry fees, where charged, are non-refundable except where required by law or expressly stated for that event.
• We reserve the right to withhold, delay, or cancel a prize payout where we have a good-faith suspicion of fraud, cheating, ineligibility, or a Terms violation, pending investigation.

We do not currently process payments. Entry fees and prize payouts are out of scope until they launch through a licensed third-party payments provider (e.g. Stripe Connect); this section applies once that functionality launches, and the Privacy Policy will be updated at that time.

• You retain ownership of content you submit (team names, logos, etc.), but grant Slipstream a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and use it on the Platform and in related promotional materials (e.g. social media, event recaps) — including match results and statistics from your games.
• You're responsible for ensuring any team name, logo, or content you submit doesn't infringe someone else's rights or contain offensive material; we may reject or remove content that does.
• "Slipstream," our logo, and Platform branding are our property. Event-specific branding (e.g. a hosted league's own name/logo) belongs to that event's organizer where applicable.
• If content on the Platform infringes your rights or is unlawful, ask us to take it down: see Support → Copyright and content takedowns for what to send and where.

Slipstream integrates with Discord for sign-in, and is designed to integrate with Rocket League platform services (Epic Games, Steam, PlayStation Network) and ballchasing.com for replay parsing as those features launch. We’re not responsible for outages, data loss, or account issues originating from these services, though we’ll do what we reasonably can to work around them (e.g. rescheduling a match affected by a Discord outage).

• The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied.
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, Slipstream and Saelum Labs are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Platform, participation in an event, or reliance on match/stat data, including lost winnings, lost opportunity, or reputational harm.
• Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be excluded under UK law (e.g. for fraud or death/personal injury caused by negligence).

• You may stop using the Platform and request account deletion at any time (see Privacy Policy, Section 7, for what’s retained/removed).
• We may suspend or terminate your account for a Terms violation, at the request of an event organizer for that event, or if we discontinue the Platform or a specific event.

We’ll update the “Last updated” date above whenever these Terms change, and will post a notice ahead of any change that affects prize/payment terms or eligibility.
