Nothing on this Site or in the Services grants you any license or right to use any Trademark. You’re not permitted to use any Content, including Trademarks, except as permitted by these Terms. You should interpret “use” broadly.

Our collection, use, disclosure, and management of your personally identifiable information is described in the Privacy Policy.

    You may be required to create a password in connection with your registration or username. You’re responsible for protecting the confidentiality of your password and any use of your account under your password.

    Submissions include, among other things, messages submitted to the Site or the Services usernames, ideas, articles, concepts, suggestions, processes, techniques, plans, and materials, that you submit to us, whether we request them or not.

As we described above, “use” is meant broadly. This right and license is perpetual, irrevocable, unrestricted, royalty-free, and worldwide.  Use can occur in any format (e.g., Internet, television, newspaper, etc.) even if that format has not yet been created and may be for any purposed (e.g., advertising) without payment to you or your consent.

However, we may include your name without your consent and without compensation to you in connection with the use of your Submission. Submissions are treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary.

  9. Notice and Procedure for Making Copyright Claims

    Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2) (“DMCA”), we have designated to the U.S. Copyright Office an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement relating to the Site (the “Designated Agent”). All such notifications relating to the Site must be submitted in a manner consistent with the DMCA to the following Designated Agent:

    Peregrine Sports LLC
    1844 SW Morrison Street
    Portland, Oregon 97205
    Attn: General Counsel

    To be effective, the notification must be a written communication that includes the following: (1) a signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are claimed to have been infringed, a representative list of such works; (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as name, address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address; (5) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

    We reserve the right to remove any posted submission that infringes the copyright of any person under the laws of the United States upon receipt of a notice that complies with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). United States law provides significant penalties for submitting such a statement falsely.

    We maintain a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of the Site use privileges of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.

    You hereby agree to indemnify and hold us, MLS, SUM, NWSL, NWSL Media, MLS and NWSL club operators, and our and their respective affiliates, vendors, owners, officers, employees, agents, and representatives harmless from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages and expenses and other losses (including attorneys’ fees and court costs) arising out of or relating to: (1) your use of the Site and Services; and (2) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms.

  11. Termination of the Site or Services

    We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Site, any aspect of the Site, and any Service at any time, for any reason, without notice, and without liability to you. We may also cancel your registration or username or restrict your access to or use of the Site or Services at any time, for any reason, without notice, and without liability to you.

  13. Disputes

    Disputes relating to these Terms, including any breach, will be settled by binding arbitration by the Arbitration Service of Portland on an individual basis, not as a class or as a representative of others, in Portland, Oregon. However, claims for only money damages may be filed in small claims court in Portland, Oregon on an individual basis, not as a class or as a representative of others. Claims cannot be joined or consolidated unless we expressly agree in writing. You will pay for half the costs of any arbitration.  We may seek interim or preliminary relief from courts in Portland, Oregon to protect our rights or property pending completion of arbitration. If a dispute is determined not to be subject to arbitration, only the state and federal courts in Multnomah County, Oregon will have jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any right to bring a claim against us unless you provide us with written notice of the events or facts giving rise to the claim within one year of their occurrence.

  14. Miscellaneous

    These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Site and the Services. We use section headings in these Terms for convenience only and they will not affect the interpretation of these Terms. If any part of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the remaining terms will remain in full force. If we fail to enforce any part of these Terms or respond to a breach, it doesn’t mean we waive the right to later enforce the Terms or respond to similar breaches. Oregon law applies to these Terms.
