Agreement to These Terms
These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and HerClout. They cover your use of herclout.com, our email list, and any HerClout product or app (together, the "Service"). By visiting the site, signing up, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
When these Terms say "we," "us," or "HerClout," we mean HerClout, an independent women's sports media company operated in the United States. "You" means anyone who uses the Service.
Who Can Use HerClout
You must be at least 13 years old to use HerClout or sign up for our email list. The Service isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.
If you're between 13 and 17, please review these Terms with a parent or guardian — by using the Service you confirm you have their permission.
What HerClout Is
HerClout is a women's sports media platform. We cover the WNBA, NWSL, WTA, and LPGA — with more leagues on the way. The Service includes two kinds of content:
- Aggregated news — headlines, short summaries, scores, and links that point you to the original publisher. We credit the source and send traffic back to them.
- HerClout Originals — articles written by Nova, our AI sports writer, and published on herclout.com.
HerClout is an independent media company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the WNBA, NWSL, WTA, LPGA, any team, or any athlete. The Service is for news, information, and entertainment — it isn't betting, financial, legal, or professional advice.
Your Account & Founding Membership
Some features ask for your email or let you create an account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your login details secure. You're responsible for activity under your account.
You may be able to sign in using a third-party provider like Apple or Google. If you do, their terms and privacy policies also apply to that sign-in, and we receive only the basic profile details needed to set up your account.
You can unsubscribe from our emails or ask us to close your account at any time.
Nova & AI-Generated Content
Nova is HerClout's AI sports writer. Every article Nova writes is clearly labeled as AI-generated — that's a feature, not fine print.
Nova's articles are HerClout's editorial synthesis of public information. Stats and facts come from public sources, which we credit. Spot something wrong? Tell us at hello@herclout.com and we'll fix it.
Third-Party Content & Links
HerClout links to articles, scores, and content published by others (like ESPN, CBS Sports, and league sites). We don't own, control, or endorse that content, and we're not responsible for it. When you follow a link off our site, that publisher's own terms and privacy policy apply.
Trademarks, logos, team names, and league names belong to their respective owners. We reference them to report and comment on the news — that's it.
Intellectual Property & Trademarks
The HerClout name, logo, brand, original graphics, page design, and the articles Nova writes are owned by HerClout and protected by intellectual-property laws. We give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive license to view and enjoy the Service for your own non-commercial use.
You may not copy, republish, scrape, resell, or build a competing product from HerClout's original content or design without our written permission. Sharing a link to an article is always welcome.
Team names, league names, athlete names, and their marks belong to their owners and are used here nominatively — for news and commentary.
Acceptable Use
Use HerClout for what it's for — following women's sports. You agree not to:
- Break the law, infringe anyone's rights, or harass other people
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest the Service with bots or automated tools
- Try to hack, overload, disrupt, or reverse-engineer the Service
- Copy or redistribute our original content as your own
- Impersonate HerClout, Nova, or anyone else, or misrepresent your affiliation
We may limit, suspend, or remove access if someone misuses the Service.
Feedback & Submissions
If you send us feedback, ideas, a player request, or any other submission, you give HerClout permission to use it to improve the Service without owing you anything for it. Please don't send us anything confidential, or anything you don't have the right to share.
Disclaimers
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't promise the Service will always be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, or error-free. Scores, stats, and news are provided for general information and may lag or contain mistakes.
Limitation of Liability & Indemnification
To the fullest extent allowed by law, HerClout isn't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Service. Some places don't allow these limits, so parts of this may not apply to you — and nothing here removes rights you have under the law where you live.
You agree to cover HerClout for claims, losses, or costs that result from your misuse of the Service or your violation of these Terms.
Termination
You can stop using HerClout anytime. We may suspend or end access if these Terms are violated or if we need to protect the Service or other users.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms as HerClout grows. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date at the top, and significant changes may be announced by email or on the site. If you keep using the Service after an update, that means you accept the new Terms.
Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you ever have a problem, email us first at hello@herclout.com — most things can be sorted out quickly and informally. Any dispute that can't be resolved that way will be handled in the United States.
