Terms of Service

The 40 is an athletic performance tracking and recruiting platform designed to capture, analyze, verify, and display athletic data, which may include video recordings, physical metrics, computer-vision performance analytics, and user rankings across public and restricted leaderboards.

• Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. Users under 13 are strictly prohibited from creating accounts.
• Minors Under 18:If you are between 13 and 18 years old, you represent and warrant that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms on your behalf and permits your use of the Services. By allowing a minor to use the Services, the parent or legal guardian agrees to be bound by these Terms and assumes full legal responsibility for the minor's conduct, video submissions, and compliance.
• Accuracy: You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration (including your name, school, graduating year, and metrics) and to update such information to keep it accurate.
• Security: You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (including any magic login links, passwords, or device access) and for any activity that occurs under your account.

CRITICAL NOTICE: PHYSICAL ACTIVITY INVOLVES INHERENT RISKS. The 40 is a performance tracking tool and does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or physical training instruction.

• Assumption of Risk: You voluntarily assume all physical, medical, and economic risks associated with performing any athletic drills, sprints, jumps, or physical exercises recorded or tracked by the App.
• Consult Your Doctor: You should consult with a physician or qualified healthcare professional before beginning any intense physical training, sprinting, or athletic testing.
• Liability Release: To the maximum extent permitted by law, Slants, Inc. shall not be liable for any personal injury, bodily harm, property damage, illness, or death resulting directly or indirectly from your use of the App or your participation in athletic activities associated with capturing content for the App.

The App allows you to upload, capture, or submit videos and media for performance analysis and tracking.

• Ownership: You retain all ownership rights to the original videos and media you submit.
• Media & Leaderboard License: By uploading or recording content, you grant Slants, Inc. a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, modify, format, process, run computer-vision algorithms on, publicly display, distribute, broadcast, and feature your content (including video clips, name, school, graduating year, and performance metrics) on platform leaderboards, athlete profiles, scouting reports, and social/marketing channels operated by The 40.
• Video Permissions & Consents:You warrant and represent that you own or have obtained all necessary rights, releases, and legal permissions—including parental consent for any minors appearing in the footage—from every individual filmed in any video you upload or capture.
• Prohibited Content: You agree not to upload any content that is illegal, offensive, explicit, violent, infringes on intellectual property rights, or violates the privacy rights of any third party.

• "As-Is" Metric Disclaimer: Performance metrics (including 40-yard dash times, top speeds, split times, and jump distances) calculated via our computer-vision models are provided "AS IS" for informational, tracking, and evaluation purposes. Variations in camera frame rate, lighting, filming angles, device hardware, and environmental conditions can impact algorithm calculations. Slants, Inc. does not guarantee absolute timing precision or specific recruitment/scholarship outcomes.
• Anti-Cheat & Video Integrity Policy: You are strictly prohibited from:
  • Uploading altered, edited, sped-up, or frame-manipulated videos.
  • Submitting synthetic, deepfaked, or third-party footage to fake performance times.
  • Attempting to bypass, trick, or reverse-engineer our timing and verification algorithms.
• Right to Audit & Remove: Slants, Inc.reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to flag, invalidate, audit, or remove any performance metric or video, and to strip fraudulent scores from public leaderboards without prior notice.

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to notices of alleged infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent containing: (a) your physical or electronic signature; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to locate it; (d) your contact information; (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

We may remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to the same agent. Knowingly submitting a materially false notice or counter-notice may subject you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

By providing your phone number and opting in, you agree that we may send you transactional, operational, or marketing text messages (SMS) related to your account, security, and performance updates.

• Opt-Out:You can opt-out of marketing text messages at any time by replying "STOP".
• Rates: Standard message and data rates applied by your wireless carrier may apply.

All rights, title, and interest in and to the App (excluding your raw user-generated video files), including its software, computer-vision algorithms, telemetry pipelines, user interfaces, branding, logos, and trademarks, are and will remain the exclusive property of Slants, Inc. and its licensors.

THE SERVICES, INCLUDING ALL VIDEO PROCESSING, PERFORMANCE METRICS, LEADERBOARDS, AND CONTENT, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLANTS, INC. AND ITS LICENSORS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT PERFORMANCE METRICS WILL BE ACCURATE OR COMPARABLE TO HAND-TIMED OR ELECTRONICALLY TIMED RESULTS, OR THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL RESULT IN ANY RECRUITING, ROSTER, SCHOLARSHIP, OR OTHER OUTCOME. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account, remove your leaderboard entries, or restrict your access to the App at our sole discretion, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms, manipulates performance data, or is harmful to other users or the business interests of the Company.

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. Upon termination, your right to access the Services ends immediately. Sections 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 16, and any other provision that by its nature should survive, remain in effect after termination.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SLANTS, INC. SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES, LEADERBOARDS, OR PERFORMANCE METRICS, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, AND FORM AN ESSENTIAL BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Slants, Inc.and its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, demands, actions, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the Services; (b) any content you upload, capture, or submit, including any claim that it infringes intellectual property rights or violates the privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person appearing in it; (c) your breach of these Terms or of any warranty you make under Section 4, including the warranty that you obtained all necessary releases and parental consents; (d) your violation of any applicable law or of any third party's rights; or (e) any injury, illness, or damage arising from athletic activity you undertake in connection with the Services.

If you are a parent or legal guardian who has permitted a minor to use the Services, this indemnity applies to you with respect to that minor's conduct and submissions. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification, in which case you agree to cooperate with our defense.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS.

• Informal Resolution First: Before initiating any arbitration or other proceeding, you agree to contact us at support@slants.ai with a written description of the dispute and the relief sought, and to attempt in good faith to resolve it informally for at least sixty (60) days. This period tolls any applicable limitations period.
• Binding Arbitration: If the dispute is not resolved informally, you and Slants, Inc.agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
• Class Action & Jury Waiver: YOU AND SLANTS, INC.EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO RESOLVE THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request shall be severed and heard in court, while all remaining claims proceed in arbitration.
• Exceptions: Either party may bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property rights or to address unauthorized access to or misuse of the Services. Nothing in this section prevents you from reporting a matter to a government agency.
• Location & Costs: Arbitration will be conducted in New York County, New York, or, at your election, by telephone, video conference, or written submission where the AAA rules permit. We will pay administrative and arbitrator fees to the extent required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.
• 30-Day Right to Opt Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice of your name, the email address on your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration to support@slants.ai with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms and will not adversely affect your use of the Services.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Subject to Section 13, any legal disputes or actions arising out of these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

We may modify these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our Services, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, provide reasonable advance notice through the Services or to the email address on your account.

Your continued use of the Services after the revised Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of them. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and may delete your account. Changes to Section 13 (Arbitration) will not apply retroactively to disputes of which we had actual notice before the change took effect.

• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if modification is not possible, and the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
• Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Slants, Inc. regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings on that subject.
• No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.
• Assignment:You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets. These Terms bind and benefit the parties' permitted successors and assigns.
• Force Majeure: We are not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, governmental action, or failures of third-party infrastructure, networks, or hosting providers.
• Apple App Store: If you obtained the App through the Apple App Store, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Slants, Inc. only, not Apple; that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support; and that Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms entitled to enforce them against you.
• Relationship: No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Slants, Inc. as a result of these Terms or your use of the Services.
