Ball 101

Ball 101 Terms of Service

Effective Date: August 4, 2026

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Saga Group LLC ("Saga," "we," "us," or "our"), P.O. Box 173, Friendswood, TX 77549, governing your use of the Ball 101 mobile application (the "App") and the ball101.app website (together, the "Service"). By creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or using the Service, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy and, for parents, our Direct Notice to Parents, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

PLEASE READ SECTION 16 CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES THAT MOST DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND SAGA BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND INCLUDES A WAIVER OF JURY TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS. YOU MAY OPT OUT AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 16.7.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering a binding contract to create an account. The account holder must be the parent or legal guardian of any child who uses the App under that account. Children use the App only through a child profile created and supervised by the parent; children do not have their own accounts. The free preview may be used without an account.

2. The Service

Ball 101 is an educational application that teaches baseball decision-making through interactive practice scenarios, with progress reporting for the parent. The Service is provided for education and training support only. It is not professional coaching, officiating instruction, athletic training, or medical, health, or safety advice, and it is not a substitute for a qualified coach, a league official, or adult supervision. We do not promise any particular learning, performance, playing time, selection, or athletic outcome.

Baseball rules vary by league, by sanctioning organization, and by age division, and they change over time. We work to keep the content accurate against standard rules, but the rules that govern your player's games are set by your league, and where the Service and your league differ, your league controls.

Anything we publish about equipment is general information only. That includes bats, helmets and other protective gear, catcher's equipment, gloves, footwear, and anything else a player wears or uses. Equipment rules, certification standards, sizing, and safety requirements are set by your league, by the applicable standards bodies, and by the manufacturer, and they change over time. Confirm requirements, eligibility, and correct fit with your league and with the manufacturer's instructions before you buy or use any equipment. We do not sell, endorse, test, or certify equipment.

Physical activity carries inherent risk of injury. Any decision to practice, play, or apply anything learned through the Service is made by you and your player, and supervising that activity is your responsibility. We may add, modify, or discontinue features of the Service from time to time.

3. Accounts

You agree to provide accurate account information and keep it current, to maintain the confidentiality of your password, and to accept responsibility for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at support@saga.group if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization. You may not sell, transfer, or share your account.

4. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

4.1 Plans

PlanPrice (USD)Access periodIncludesAuto-renewal
Anonymous PreviewFreeNo account requiredLimited scenario setNo
Monthly$6.991 monthFull library; up to 2 player profilesYes
Season$16.993 monthsFull library; up to 2 player profilesYes
Annual$36.9912 monthsFull library; up to 3 player profilesYes

A "player profile" is the profile a parent creates for one child. It is the same thing our Privacy Policy and Direct Notice to Parents call a child profile; those documents use the legal term because that is the term the children's privacy rules use.

There is no free trial. A completed purchase constitutes Verifiable Parental Consent (see Section 5).

4.2 Automatic renewal and cancellation

Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings. Payment is charged to your store account at confirmation of purchase. Deleting the App or deleting your Ball 101 account does not cancel a subscription; cancellation is performed in your store account settings, and the App displays cancellation guidance before account deletion.

4.3 Payment processing and refunds

All purchases are processed by the applicable app store under the store's own terms. We never receive or store your card number. Refund requests are handled by the store under the store's refund policies; for Apple purchases, use Apple's report-a-problem process, and for Google purchases, use the Google Play refund process.

4.4 Price changes

We may change subscription prices. For existing subscribers, a price change takes effect through the applicable store's notice and consent process and no earlier than your next renewal.

5. Parental Consent

Ball 101 collects no information about a child before a recorded parental consent. Consent is obtained through a completed subscription purchase in the parent's app store account, a method recognized under COPPA (16 C.F.R. § 312.5(b)). By subscribing, you represent that you are the parent or legal guardian of each child whose profile you create, and you consent to the collection and use of that child's information as described in the Privacy Policy and the Direct Notice to Parents.

6. License; Intellectual Property

Subject to these Terms, Saga grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial use by you and the members of your household.

The Service and all content made available through it, including scenarios, questions, text, graphics, artwork, animations, avatars, audio, logos, and software (collectively, the "Content"), are owned by Saga or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. Except for the limited license above, no right, title, or interest is granted to you. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, sell, scrape, or create derivative works from the Content, and you may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits such activity notwithstanding this limitation. "Ball 101" and associated logos are marks of Saga Group LLC; nothing in these Terms grants a license to use them. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

7. Stars and Avatar Items

Stars and avatar items are earned through play within the App. They are game features only. They have no monetary value, cannot be purchased with money, and may not be sold, transferred, or redeemed for cash or anything of value outside the App. Balances are maintained on our servers. We may adjust star balances or avatar items to correct errors or address abuse, and we may modify these features from time to time.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree that you will not:

  1. Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  2. Interfere with or disrupt the Service, probe or test the vulnerability of the Service without our prior written permission, or access data or accounts you are not authorized to access;
  3. Use any robot, scraper, or other automated means to access or extract data from the Service;
  4. Misrepresent your identity or your relationship to a child in connection with the Service; or
  5. Circumvent or attempt to circumvent subscription entitlements or content limits.

We may suspend or terminate access for violation of this Section as described in Section 10.

9. Feedback

If you submit suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Service, you grant Saga a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use that feedback for any purpose related to the Service, without compensation or obligation to you. Do not include personal information about a child in feedback.

10. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and may delete your account in the App or by emailing privacy@saga.group. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service if you materially breach these Terms, if we reasonably believe suspension is necessary to protect the Service or its users, if required by law, or upon discontinuation of the Service; where practicable, we will provide reasonable notice. Billing and cancellation are governed by Section 4. Sections 6, 7, 9, and 11 through 19 survive termination.

11. Electronic Communications

By creating an account, you consent to receive communications from us electronically, including email to the address on your account, and you agree that all agreements, notices, and disclosures we provide electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. Marketing preferences are described in Section 6 of the Privacy Policy.

12. Third-Party Services; Apple App Store Terms

The Service depends on third-party providers, including the app store through which you obtained the App. Your use of an app store is governed by that store's own terms.

If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following applies: these Terms are between you and Saga only, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish maintenance or support for the App. In the event of a failure of the App to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the App (if any) to you; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the App, including product liability claims, claims that the App fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection or similar legislation. In the event of a third-party claim that the App infringes that party's intellectual property rights, Saga, not Apple, is responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of the claim to the extent required by these Terms. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a United States Government embargo and that you are not on any United States Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, may enforce these Terms against you.

13. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SAGA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SAGA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR PRODUCE ANY PARTICULAR RESULT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) IN NO EVENT WILL SAGA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF SAGA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (B) SAGA'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO SAGA FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ALLOCATE RISK BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND ARE A BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND SAGA. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS LIMITS ANY LIABILITY THAT CANNOT BE LIMITED BY LAW.

15. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Saga and its officers, members, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Service. This obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from Saga's breach of these Terms or violation of law.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights.

16.1 Informal resolution first

Before initiating arbitration or any other proceeding, the party raising a dispute must send the other party a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought. Send notices to Saga at legal@saga.group or by mail to Saga Group LLC, Attention: Legal, P.O. Box 173, Friendswood, TX 77549; we will send notices to the email address on your account. The parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute within 30 days of receipt of the notice. Most concerns can be resolved this way.

16.2 Agreement to arbitrate

Except as provided in Sections 16.3 and 16.4, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service that is not resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced, except as modified by this Section. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in the English language. Any in-person hearing will take place in the county where you reside, or the hearing may be conducted by telephone or video conference or on the basis of documents, as the AAA rules provide. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Payment of filing and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules and fee schedule.

16.3 Small claims

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court in any jurisdiction where venue is proper, instead of arbitration, for disputes within that court's jurisdiction.

16.4 Injunctive relief

Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property rights or to prevent unauthorized access to or abuse of the Service, without first engaging in the process described in Sections 16.1 and 16.2.

16.5 Class action waiver

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND SAGA EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. All claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacities, and the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person. If this class action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim, and only that claim, must proceed in court, and this arbitration agreement will remain in effect for all other claims.

16.6 Severability and survival

Except as stated in Section 16.5, if any part of this Section 16 is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect. This Section 16 survives termination of these Terms and of your account.

16.7 Your right to opt out

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver by emailing legal@saga.group within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, stating your name, the email address on your account, and that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms.

17. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 16. For any dispute not subject to arbitration under Section 16, the state and federal courts located in Galveston County, Texas shall have exclusive jurisdiction, and the parties consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in those courts.

18. Consumer Notices; Copyright Complaints

California residents: under Cal. Civ. Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs, 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, telephone (800) 952-5210.

Copyright complaints: if you believe any Content available through the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to legal@saga.group or to our mailing address, including your contact information, identification of the copyrighted work, identification and location of the allegedly infringing material, a statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. No waiver of any provision is effective unless in writing, and no waiver in one instance waives any subsequent breach. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, and these Terms bind and benefit the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the Direct Notice to Parents, constitute the entire agreement between you and Saga regarding the Service.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we do, we will update the Effective Date above and post the revised Terms at ball101.app/terms, and for material changes we will provide notice in the App or by email before the changes take effect. Changes to Section 16 do not apply to disputes for which either party has provided notice before the change. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms; if you do not agree, stop using the Service and cancel your subscription.
