Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

Welcome to Select Ball USA, profiles, webpages and accounts of Dsruptve,LLC.  References in this Terms of Use (“TOU”) to the “Select Ball USA” or “SITE” include all SITE pages, offices, and other components, SITE Missions, and SITE parent company, and SITE personnel.  This TOU applies to any and all Pages managed by the SITE, its personnel, designees, contractors, implementing partners, parent company, owners, and agents.  SITE intends each SITE Page to be a limited public forum.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

The Select Ball USA provides SITE Pages as an information service (“Service”) to you (a “user” and a “party”), subject to the following TOU and your acceptance thereof.  Use of any SITE Page is voluntary.  If you do not accept any term contained in this TOU, you may not use any SITE Pages.  Your use of any SITE Page constitutes your acceptance of this TOU.  This TOU may be updated by the SITE of State from time to time without notice to you.  It is your responsibility to check this TOU periodically for any changes.  Your continued use of any SITE Page following the posting of any changes to this TOU constitutes your acceptance of the changes.  Please note that users of SITE Pages are also subject to the Terms of Service (“TOS”) of each respective third-party social media platform (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Weibo) on which SITE Pages operate.

2. PLATFORM PRIVACY POLICIES

By using or otherwise accessing social media platforms on which the Select Ball USA maintains SITE Pages, you are accepting the practices described in each social media platform’s privacy policy and each platform’s TOS.  The SITE of State neither controls nor holds any responsibility over the privacy practices or TOS of social media platforms on which it operates SITE Pages.  As such, the Select Ball USA’s Privacy Policy does not apply to platforms themselves.  You may find the Select Ball USA’s Privacy Policy here.
When you visit a platform, you provide it with two types of information: any personal information you may knowingly choose to disclose that is collected by the platform, and information collected by the platform on your usage of the platform as you interact with a SITE Page.

When you register with any social media platform, you provide it with certain personal information, such as your name, your email address, your telephone number, your address, and any other personal or preference information that you provide to it. The Select Ball USA does not store any of this information or any additional user information beyond that which may already be stored for your account by the platform.

In this TOU, “Content” is defined as any information, communications, links, messages, images, photos, videos, or other data. When posting Content to SITE Pages, you simultaneously post Content on the social media platforms on which the SITE Pages operate, and you do so at your own risk. Although platforms may allow you to set privacy options that limit access to your account(s), please be aware that no platform security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and the Select Ball USA cannot control the actions of any other users who may be able to view your accounts and information. Therefore, the SITE of State cannot and does not guarantee that any Content you post to any SITE Page on a platform will be inaccessible to unauthorized persons.

3. ACCOUNT SECURITY

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account login credentials.  The Select Ball USA will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from any activities that occur under your login and/or account. See each platform’s TOS for information regarding its own security practices.

4. USER CONDUCT

You understand that Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the user or person with whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not the Select Ball USA, are entirely responsible for any Content you post, email, transmit or otherwise make available on or to a social media platform on which the SITE maintains SITE Pages. The Select Ball USA does not control any Content posted except as described below and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity, or quality of any such Content. You understand that by visiting SITE Pages, you may be exposed to Content that is offensive, indecent, or objectionable.

You agree not to use any SITE Page to:

harm minors in any way;

impersonate any person or entity;

forge headers or otherwise manipulate identifiers in order to disguise the origin of any Content transmitted through a SITE Page;

  • post, email, transmit, or otherwise make available any Content that you do not have a right to make available under any law or contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as, for example, classified information, inside information, proprietary, and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships), or under nondisclosure agreements;
  • post, email, transmit, or otherwise use any depiction or reproduction of the SITE seal or of any SITE logos, symbols, or insignia without authorization;

  • disrupt the normal flow of dialogue or otherwise act in a manner that negatively affects other users’ ability to engage in discussions;
  • interfere with or disrupt a SITE Page, the platform on which it operates, or servers or networks connected to Our Pages, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies or regulations of networks connected to a SITE Page;
  • intentionally or unintentionally violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law;
  • stalk or otherwise harass another user or person; or

Under no circumstances will the Select Ball USA be liable in any way for any Content post by you or another SITE Page or platform user (including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any such Content), or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available via a SITE Page or platform.

You understand that although the Select Ball USA does not pre-screen all Content posted on SITE Pages it manages, the SITE may in its sole discretion refuse, decline, block, edit, delete, or move any Content that is available via SITE Pages.

You understand that technical processing and transmissions with respect to a SITE Page, including with respect to any Content you post, may involve (a) transmissions over various networks, and (b) changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices.

You understand that if you post any Content that contains statements or depictions of violence against a person, group of people, or country, the SITE of State may report your activity, to include the Content, to an appropriate law enforcement agency/agencies.

You understand and agree that the Select Ball USA may track and address violations of this Terms of Use on a SITE Page, to include carrying out potential blocking and other moderation actions.  The purpose of such tracking is to assist in identifying and determining patterns of recurring violations of this TOU and ensuring SITE Pages remain  limited public fora for dialogue, as applicable.
