SmashTap Terms of Service

Effective Date: October 12, 2026

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the SmashTap mobile applications, Apple Watch applications, websites, scoreboards, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

The Services are provided by JKAAS LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“JKAAS,” “SmashTap,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By downloading, accessing, or using the Services, you agree to these Terms, including the game-history requirements and the license for Non-Personal Game Data in Section 6. If you do not agree, do not use the Services. Nothing in this acceptance waives rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

1. About SmashTap

SmashTap provides Apple Watch and iPhone companion applications and related services for pickleball scorekeeping, game history, singles and doubles statistics, score sharing, live score display, and optional workout tracking. Features and controls differ by device; some require a compatible paired device, permissions, or a network connection.

SmashTap is intended as a convenience for recreational and competitive play. It is not an official referee, tournament management system, scoring authority, medical device, or fitness or health-care service.

2. Eligibility

You must be legally permitted to use the Services under the laws applicable to you.

If you use SmashTap on behalf of an organization, business, club, league, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity to these Terms, in which case “you” also refers to that entity.

3. License to Use SmashTap

Subject to these Terms and any applicable terms imposed by Apple or another platform through which you obtain SmashTap, JKAAS grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes.

SmashTap and its software are licensed, not sold.

You may not:

copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Services except as expressly permitted by JKAAS;
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the Services except to the extent such restriction is prohibited by applicable law;
interfere with, disrupt, damage, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Services or systems supporting them;
circumvent security, access controls, usage restrictions, or technical protections;
use the Services to violate any law or the rights of another person; or
use automated systems to access or burden the Services in a manner that materially interferes with their operation.

Your use of an application downloaded through Apple’s App Store is also subject to Apple’s applicable terms, including Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement unless a different end-user license agreement applies.

4. Scorekeeping and Game Information

SmashTap is designed to assist users in keeping score and tracking pickleball games, but users remain responsible for confirming scores, serving positions, game formats, rule selections, and other game information.

Software errors, user input, connectivity interruptions, synchronization delays, device failures, configuration choices, or other circumstances may result in incorrect, delayed, incomplete, or unavailable scoring information.

Game statistics, including win percentages, are calculated from the game records available to the Services and the filters you select. Incomplete, unfinalized, unavailable, or unsynchronized records may be excluded or reflected only after synchronization. Statistics are informational and are not official player ratings or a complete record of all games you have played.

SmashTap does not guarantee that scores or other information displayed through the Services will comply with the rules of USA Pickleball, a particular tournament, league, club, or other governing organization.

If SmashTap is used during organized competition, the applicable rules, officials, tournament procedures, and official scoring records control in the event of any conflict with information displayed by SmashTap.

Each game is controlled by the Watch that created it. Joining or viewing a game does not authorize another participant or device to change its score or take over scoring. The iPhone companion’s local live scoreboard displays the game scored by its paired Watch; it does not mirror a game that the paired Watch has merely joined.

5. Score Sharing and External Displays

Certain SmashTap features may allow scores or game information to be shared with other Apple Watches, phones, browsers, televisions, tablets, computers, or other external displays.

You are responsible for determining who receives or can access a score-sharing session, link, code, token, or similar connection information.

Do not share access information with people whom you do not want to have access to the applicable game or scoreboard.

A recipient may forward a scoreboard link or code to others, and possession of that link or code does not authenticate a particular viewer. Game information shown on an external display may be visible to anyone nearby. Share links, codes, and displays only where you are comfortable making the displayed game information available.

We do not guarantee that score sharing or external displays will operate continuously, in real time, or without interruption. Performance may depend on internet availability, local networks, cellular service, Bluetooth, third-party platforms, browsers, device settings, and other systems outside JKAAS’s control.

6. Game History and Synchronization

SmashTap stores and retains completed-game information on systems operated by us or our service providers to provide game history, synchronization, and related features. Information may also be stored on your devices. Retention of game history by SmashTap and JKAAS is a required part of the Services, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this requirement, do not use the Services.

Synchronization is provided as a convenience and is not a guaranteed backup service.

For a joined game to appear in a participant’s personal history, the participant must remain joined through finalization, and the game record must be successfully saved and synchronized. Leaving early or an interruption in these steps may prevent the game from appearing in that participant’s history.

Data may fail to synchronize, become unavailable, or be lost because of device failure, software errors, identity-recovery issues, account or device changes, network availability, service interruptions, deletion, or other events. Our retention of game history does not guarantee that any particular record will remain available to you indefinitely.

You are responsible for maintaining access to the devices and any accounts or services required to access or synchronize your information. A SmashTap identifier alone is not proof of ownership or authorization. We may require reasonable verification of your control of the relevant app identity and authorization for a requested action before providing access to or changing records, subject to applicable law.

SmashTap associates game records with an app identity even when you do not register with a name, email address, or password. Reinstalling the app, replacing or resetting a device, or losing access to required devices or services may affect access to that identity and its history. Recovery depends on the available identity and synchronization mechanisms and is not guaranteed. Knowing an identifier or describing previous games is not, by itself, sufficient verification of control.

A game may be associated with more than one participant. Removing a game from your personal history does not by itself delete the shared game record or another participant’s history. We may retain shared records as needed to provide the Services and preserve other participants’ history, subject to applicable law. Where required, we will delete or deidentify your personal information while preserving the remaining shared record to the extent lawful. Shared participation does not eliminate your applicable privacy rights.

For purposes of these Terms, “Non-Personal Game Data” means game information and derived statistics that do not constitute personal information or personal data under applicable law, including information deidentified or aggregated to the standard required by applicable law. HealthKit data, health or fitness measurements, and workout-tracking status are excluded from Non-Personal Game Data and from the license below.

To the extent you hold rights in Non-Personal Game Data that you provide or generate through the Services, you grant JKAAS a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to retain, reproduce, analyze, combine, adapt, and use that data to operate, develop, and improve the Services and to create and provide statistics, benchmarks, and insights to our customers. This license includes permission to disclose Non-Personal Game Data for those purposes and to authorize service providers to process it on our behalf under appropriate contractual restrictions. No compensation is owed for these permitted uses. You grant only rights you actually hold; you do not grant rights belonging to other participants.

Subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, you authorize us to create Non-Personal Game Data from game information lawfully collected through the Services. We may retain and use qualifying Non-Personal Game Data and resulting statistics indefinitely for the purposes described above, including after you stop using the Services, remove a game from your history, or terminate your relationship with us. This license survives termination to the extent permitted by law. It does not independently authorize indefinite retention of the underlying personal information.

We will take reasonable measures to prevent deidentified game information from being associated with an identifiable person, maintain and use it in deidentified form, and not attempt to reidentify it. We will require recipients of deidentified game information to comply with these restrictions through contractual obligations. If information does not meet the applicable standard for Non-Personal Game Data, we will handle it as personal information as required by applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

Nothing in this Section transfers ownership of your personal information to JKAAS, authorizes unlawful collection or processing, or limits any access, deletion, objection, withdrawal, or other privacy right that cannot lawfully be waived. Personal information remains subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law; the license above is not a substitute for any consent or other legal basis required to process it.

7. Workout, Fitness, and Health Features

SmashTap may interact with Apple Watch, Apple Health, HealthKit, WorkoutKit, or similar Apple technologies to start, display, record, or summarize workout or fitness information.

Workout tracking is optional and uses the permissions you grant on your devices. You may use game scorekeeping and game statistics without enabling workout tracking. Game records and statistics are separate from health and workout records; the iPhone companion’s game history is not a health-history archive. Changing workout permissions may affect workout features without removing game history.

SmashTap is not a medical device and does not provide medical or health-care advice.

Workout information, heart rate information, calories, activity measurements, steps, fitness estimates, or other health-related information displayed through SmashTap or Apple services may be incomplete or inaccurate and should not be relied upon for diagnosis, treatment, or medical decisions.

You are responsible for determining whether you are physically able to participate in pickleball or any other activity.

Stop exercising and seek appropriate medical assistance if you experience symptoms that cause concern.

Nothing provided through SmashTap is a substitute for advice from a qualified health-care professional.

8. Safety

Using an Apple Watch, phone, display, or other device while playing a sport can create distractions.

You are responsible for using SmashTap safely and remaining aware of your surroundings, other players, court conditions, equipment, and other hazards.

Do not interact with SmashTap in a way that creates an unreasonable risk of injury to yourself or others.

9. Third-Party Services

SmashTap may rely upon or interact with services, technologies, devices, platforms, or software provided by third parties, including Apple.

Those services may be governed by separate terms and privacy policies.

JKAAS does not control third-party services and is not responsible for their availability, accuracy, security, performance, or continued operation.

Features of SmashTap may stop working or change if a third-party provider changes, restricts, or discontinues technology upon which SmashTap relies.

10. Privacy

Your use of SmashTap is also subject to the SmashTap Privacy Policy, available at:

https://www.smashtap.com/privacy

The Privacy Policy explains how information associated with the Services is collected, used, stored, and handled.

Information processed through third-party services may also be subject to those providers’ applicable terms and privacy policies. The license in Section 6 does not override the protections or processing limitations described in the SmashTap Privacy Policy.

11. Intellectual Property

The Services, including the SmashTap name, logos, software, interface designs, graphics, text, features, functionality, and other content provided by JKAAS, are owned by JKAAS LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except for the limited rights expressly granted under these Terms, no rights in the Services or JKAAS intellectual property are granted to you.

“SmashTap” and associated branding may not be used in a manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or authorization by JKAAS without our prior written permission.

12. Feedback

We welcome feedback, ideas, suggestions, and recommendations regarding SmashTap.

If you voluntarily provide feedback to us, you grant JKAAS a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable right to use that feedback for any lawful purpose, including improving, developing, marketing, and commercializing SmashTap, without compensation or obligation to you.

This provision does not give JKAAS ownership of personal information that may be included in a support request or other communication.

13. Updates and Changes to the Services

We may add, remove, modify, suspend, or discontinue features of SmashTap at any time.

Software updates may be required for continued use of some features.

We do not guarantee that any particular feature, device integration, operating-system compatibility, third-party integration, or functionality will remain available indefinitely.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

If we make material changes, we may provide notice through the Services, our website, an application update, or another reasonable method.

The revised Terms will identify their effective date.

Your continued use of the Services after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.

15. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using SmashTap at any time.

We may suspend or terminate access to some or all of the Services if reasonably necessary to protect the Services, our users, JKAAS, or third parties, or if you materially violate these Terms.

Upon termination, the license granted to you under these Terms terminates.

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination, including the license for Non-Personal Game Data in Section 6 and provisions concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and disputes, will survive. Retention and use of personal information after termination remain subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

16. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”

JKAAS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, AND RELIABILITY.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, ACCURATE, OR AVAILABLE AT ALL TIMES, OR THAT DEFECTS WILL ALWAYS BE CORRECTED.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF SCORES, SERVING INFORMATION, GAME HISTORY, WORKOUT INFORMATION, SYNCHRONIZATION, OR INFORMATION DISPLAYED ON CONNECTED OR EXTERNAL DEVICES.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain warranty disclaimers, so some of these disclaimers may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, JKAAS LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AFFILIATES, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF JKAAS FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF:

(a) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO JKAAS FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM; OR

(b) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US $50).

The limitations in this section apply regardless of the theory of liability and even if JKAAS has been advised that damages are possible.

Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions or limitations of liability, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless JKAAS LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and reasonable expenses arising from:

your unlawful or unauthorized use of the Services;
your material violation of these Terms; or
your infringement or violation of another person's rights.

This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim results from the negligence, willful misconduct, or violation of law by JKAAS.

19. Apple-Specific Terms

For the SmashTap application obtained through Apple’s App Store, you and JKAAS acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. These Terms are between you and JKAAS LLC, not Apple. Apple’s applicable usage rules govern use of the application.

2. JKAAS, not Apple, is responsible for the application and its content. The application license covers Apple-branded devices you own or control, subject to Apple’s usage rules, including permitted Family Sharing and volume-purchase access.

3. JKAAS is responsible for maintenance and support promised in these Terms or required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide application maintenance or support.

4. JKAAS, not Apple, is responsible for claims relating to the application or its possession or use, including product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection, and privacy claims. No provision limits liability beyond what applicable law permits.

5. JKAAS, not Apple, is solely responsible for investigating, defending, settling, and resolving third-party claims that the application or your possession or use of it infringes intellectual-property rights.

6. You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the application.

7. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms as they apply to the application. Upon your acceptance, Apple may enforce those provisions against you and is deemed to have accepted that right.

8. JKAAS bears warranty obligations not lawfully disclaimed. If the application fails an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple for a refund of its purchase price. To the extent legally permitted, Apple has no further warranty obligations; JKAAS bears the related claims and losses.

9. You represent and warrant that you are neither in a country under a U.S. embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as supporting terrorism, nor on a U.S. prohibited- or restricted-party list.

10. Direct application questions, complaints, or claims to JKAAS LLC at 1683 N 210 E, Orem, UT 84057 or support@smashtap.com.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to conflict with Apple’s applicable App Store usage rules.

20. Export Compliance

You may not use, export, or re-export SmashTap except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the application was obtained.

You represent that you are not prohibited under applicable United States export-control or sanctions laws from receiving or using the Services.

21. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise.

Subject to any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection laws, any legal proceeding arising from these Terms or the Services will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Utah County, Utah, and you and JKAAS consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

22. Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive or limit any consumer right that cannot lawfully be waived or limited.

If the laws of your place of residence provide you with mandatory rights that conflict with these Terms, those mandatory rights apply.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

24. No Waiver

If JKAAS does not enforce a provision of these Terms, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.

25. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the SmashTap Privacy Policy and any other terms expressly incorporated into them, constitute the agreement between you and JKAAS concerning the Services, except for applicable platform terms such as Apple’s App Store terms.
