Terms of Service
Last updated: August 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account or using TeamRope.pro, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the service. TeamRope.pro is operated by Apps 1, LLC.
2. Eligibility and Accounts Held by Minors
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Users under 18 require guardian consent, and guardian controls apply to messaging, partner requests, media sharing, and location visibility. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3. Classifications Are Not Issued By Us
Header and heeler classifications, Elite flags, and any adjustment to them are issued by Global Handicaps and the sanctioning associations, not by us. We display the classification we hold for you, its source, and its history. We do not assign, adjust, or appeal numbers. Appeals go to the issuing body and may require current association membership. Where our record and the issuing body's record disagree, theirs governs.
4. Eligibility Checking Is a Convenience, Not a Guarantee
Our entry eligibility validator checks division totals, caps, floors, the Elite rule, entry limits, the switch-ends rule, and tie-on eligibility against the data we hold and the class configuration the producer supplied. It is a convenience feature. It does not bind the producer, the flagger, or the association, and a passing check is not a guarantee that an entry will be accepted or that a team will not be disqualified. You are responsible for knowing your own number and the rules of any roping you enter.
5. Practice Data Is Not Official
Times, catches, and other run data you record yourself are practice data. They are hand-timed, they are not verified by any judge, timer, or sanctioning body, and they are never treated as official results. Official results, standings, and payouts originate from event producers and sanctioning bodies. Nothing in the app constitutes an official record of competition unless it is provided by the producer of that event.
6. Rules Information Is a Reference, Not Authority
The rules content in the app and on this website is a plain-language reference compiled from published association rulebooks and amendments. Team roping rules differ between sanctioning bodies — the barrier penalty, the crossfire standard, and tie-on eligibility among them — and our reference labels those differences rather than asserting a single answer. It is not a rulebook and it is not legal or competitive advice. Where our reference and an association's current rulebook disagree, the rulebook governs. Ground rules for a specific roping override association rules for that roping.
7. Events, Entries, and Payments
Event listings, entry fees, added money, office charges, class configurations, ground rules, and sanctioning status are supplied by event producers. We are not the producer of events listed in the app and we are not responsible for the conduct, cancellation, scoring, or payout of any event. Entry fees paid through the app are collected on behalf of the producer, subject to that producer's own entry, draw-out, and refund terms.
8. Partner Matching and Contact
Partner matching, partner requests, and practice scheduling are messaging surfaces. Compatibility scores are informational and reflect the data users supply about themselves. We do not verify horsepower claims, practice availability, or a user's account of their own roping. Blocking, reporting, and rate limiting apply to all partner contact. Minors cannot receive partner requests from adults outside a linked school or barn group. Meeting, hauling with, or entering with anyone you find through the service is entirely at your own risk and your own judgment.
9. Marketplace
Marketplace listings are created by users. We do not own, inspect, verify, or warrant any horse, animal, item, or service listed, and price comparables are informational only. Transactions are between buyer and seller. You are responsible for your own due diligence, including veterinary examination, soundness, health documentation, and transport arrangements. Report suspicious listings using the in-app reporting tools.
10. Subscriptions and Billing
Premium features are offered on monthly and annual subscriptions. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You may cancel at any time through your app store account or in the app; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Pricing may change with notice.
11. Assumption of Risk
Rodeo, roping, and horsemanship are inherently dangerous activities. Nothing in this app reduces that risk. Training content, drills, and AI-generated coaching output are informational only and are not a substitute for qualified instruction, veterinary advice, or your own judgment. You participate in equine activities entirely at your own risk.
12. Animal Welfare
You agree to comply with the humane treatment rules of any association or roping you participate in. Content depicting abuse or mistreatment of animals is prohibited and will be removed, and may result in account termination and referral to the relevant sanctioning body.
13. User Content and Conduct
You retain ownership of content you post and grant us a license to host, display, and distribute it within the service. You agree not to post content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, or that violates another person's privacy — and specifically not to use the service to contact minors outside of an established, guardian-visible school, barn, or mentor relationship. We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.
14. Service Availability
We provide the service on an as-is and as-available basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, and we may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apps 1, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost winnings, lost entry fees, or lost opportunities arising from your use of the service.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms as the product develops. Material changes will be communicated in the app and by email. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
