Plain rules.
Short, like the privacy page.

Who runs Puckdrop

Puckdrop is run in Canada by the people who built it. “We” and “us” on this page mean them. Questions about these terms or about privacy go to privacy@puckdrop.net, and a person reads every one.

Puckdrop doesn’t have a company yet. It will before anyone is charged anything. Before that happens, everyone with an account gets an email saying who runs it, and these terms and the privacy promises carry over unchanged.

The free season

A team we approve uses Puckdrop free through April 30, 2027, or for its first stretch if it starts later, as the offer it accepted says. No card is asked for, and nothing bills you when it ends.

Before any paid season, the person who runs your team gets the price in writing, before tax, and decides. If nobody says yes, nothing is charged.

Accounts

• You need to be 18 or older to have an account. Anyone younger is added by an adult and never signs in.
• Your account is yours alone. Signing in needs only the email we send to you, so keep that inbox to yourself.
• Give your real name, or the name your team knows you by. Don’t sign up as someone else.

If you run a team

• Add only people who’ve agreed to be on your team in Puckdrop, using contact details they gave you for the team.
• A child is added only by a parent, or by you when the parent has asked. When you give a parent’s email, the parent confirms by email before the child appears to the team.
• Use Puckdrop to run your team: who’s in, who’s covering, who’s paid. Don’t use the people on your team’s list for anything else, like advertising.
• What you record, like a payment or an answer you entered for someone, is logged with your name. Record only what happened.

What not to do

• Send anyone spam, threats or harassment through Puckdrop.
• Put anything about a child in Puckdrop beyond what the app asks for.
• Try to see what you’re not meant to see, break the app, or copy it in bulk with a script.

If an account breaks these rules, we can pause or close it. Where we can, we say why first and give you a chance to fix it.

Money

Puckdrop never holds, sends or collects money. When an organizer marks a payment, it’s a note that money moved, by e-transfer, cash or however your team pays. If there’s a disagreement about money, it’s between you and your team; we can show the record, not settle it.

What we promise, and what we can’t

• We work to keep Puckdrop running and your data safe, and we’ll tell you before we take away something your team relies on.
• We can’t promise it never goes down or that an email always arrives. For anything that matters, like whether a game is cancelled, confirm with a person.
• To the extent the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses, like a missed game or ice that went unused. During the free season, our total responsibility to you is limited to $100.
• Nothing here takes away rights you have under consumer protection law where you live.

Leaving

You can leave a team, or stop using Puckdrop, any time. To have your account deleted, write to privacy@puckdrop.net from the address on your account and we’ll delete it within thirty days, as the privacy page explains.

Changes and the law

If this page changes in a way that matters, everyone with an account gets an email that says what changed, before it takes effect. Small wording fixes just update the date below.

These terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and of Canada that apply there. For anything about these terms or your data, write to privacy@puckdrop.net.

Effective November 3, 2026.
