1. Content Source & API Use Disclosure

SportsHL LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“SportsHL,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), operates strictly as an independent digital sports media platform. The Platform — comprising the sportshl.com website and our native mobile applications for iOS and Android — functions exclusively as a spoiler-free editorial, journalistic, and data-visualization environment. SportsHL does not operate as a content host, broadcaster, or media distributor.

A. YouTube API Services

The Platform utilizes the YouTube API Services to display authorized video highlights within our curated interfaces. All YouTube video assets, audio streams, and broadcasting media elements remain the exclusive property of their respective copyright holders, professional leagues, and the official publishing channels from which they originate.

  • Infrastructure & Hosting Boundaries: SportsHL LLC does not upload, host, server-cache, download, stream, parse, or permanently store raw video files on its own servers or infrastructure. All media playback is executed via native, authorized, unaltered embeds routed directly through Google’s streaming servers.
  • Player Integrity: SportsHL never overlays, obscures, modifies, or injects content into any YouTube player canvas, controls, branding, security parameters, or source attributions.
  • Terms of Service Binding: By interacting with YouTube content on the Platform, you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. You further acknowledge that your interactions are subject to the Google Privacy Policy and the YouTube API Services Developer Policies.

B. X (Twitter) Embedded Posts

The Platform may display embedded posts from X (formerly Twitter) using X’s official embed tools. All X content remains the property of X Corp. and the respective content creators. By interacting with embedded X posts, you agree to be bound by the X Terms of Service.

C. Instagram Embeds

The Platform may display embedded Instagram content using Meta’s official embed tools. All Instagram content remains the property of Meta Platforms, Inc. and the respective content creators. By interacting with embedded Instagram content, you agree to be bound by the Instagram Terms of Use.

D. Third-Party Statistical Feeds

Sports statistics, team rosters, game schedules, and historical performance data are sourced via automated feeds managed by verified third-party data vendors. While we monitor content for technical accuracy, SportsHL LLC makes no warranties regarding the real-time precision, uninterrupted availability, or permanence of external third-party data streams.

2. Proprietary Match Rating Disclaimer

The Platform features a custom, proprietary Match Rating score dynamically assigned to specific sports events to identify high-interest matchups without revealing final scores.

  • Subjective Entertainment Index: Match Ratings are generated via proprietary mathematical weighting formulas and automated interest models. They represent a subjective data-synthesis index and are provided solely for entertainment and curation purposes.
  • No Predictive or Professional Value: Match Ratings do not constitute financial guidance, professional sports analytics, predictive modeling, or advice of any kind. SportsHL LLC assumes no liability for any decisions made in reliance on Match Ratings.
  • No Guarantee of Availability: Match Rating scores are subject to change, correction, or removal at any time without notice.

3. Affiliate Advertising & Commerce Disclosure

In compliance with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and applicable state-law transparency requirements, SportsHL discloses that the Platform is monetized through affiliate marketing, programmatic advertising, and commercial referral networks. SportsHL LLC may receive financial compensation — including referral commissions, lead-generation fees, or revenue-share payments — when users interact with, click on, sign up for, or complete a transaction through affiliate links or advertisements displayed on the Platform.

  • Affiliate Links Are Clearly Distinguishable: Where practical, affiliate or sponsored links are labeled or disclosed in proximity to the relevant content. All affiliate links trigger an external browser hand-off — no purchase or subscription transaction is completed within the SportsHL application.
  • Commercial Referral Partners: The Platform participates in affiliate and advertising networks, which may include (without limitation) retail merchants, event ticket marketplaces, digital privacy and security utility providers, and other third-party commercial services. SportsHL LLC does not endorse any specific third-party merchant or guarantee the quality, accuracy, or fitness of any third-party product or service.
  • No Financial Cost to You: Affiliate commissions are paid by third-party merchants from their own revenue; they do not increase the price you pay for any product or service.
  • Editorial Independence: Affiliate and advertising compensation arrangements are processed entirely out-of-network and exert zero influence over SportsHL’s spoiler-free editorial curation standards, Match Rating methodology, or the selection of highlight content delivered via authorized API services.
  • Out-of-Player Advertising: No advertisement, affiliate promotion, or sponsored element is overlaid, injected, or rendered within the visual boundary or playback canvas of any embedded media player, in strict compliance with the applicable developer policies of our third-party API providers.

4. Editorial Independence & No Professional Advice

All content published on the Platform — including original sports journalism, editorial analysis, commentary, Match Ratings, and data visualizations — is produced independently by SportsHL LLC and is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only.

  • Not Professional Advice: Nothing on the Platform constitutes financial, legal, medical, or professional advice of any kind. You should not rely on any Platform content as the basis for any consequential decision.
  • No Affiliated Endorsements: SportsHL claims no affiliation with, or endorsement by, any professional sports league, team, broadcaster, or governing body whose content may appear via authorized API embeds. All league names, team names, and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
  • No Warranty on Third-Party Content: SportsHL LLC makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy, completeness, legality, or availability of any third-party content, statistical data feed, or embedded media stream. Third-party content may be subject to change, removal, or restriction by the originating provider without notice to SportsHL.
  • Spoiler-Free Mechanics: The Platform’s score-hidden and click-to-reveal interface features are designed to reduce the risk of unwanted score or result disclosure. SportsHL does not warrant that these features will prevent every disclosure, and you waive any claim arising from the inadvertent display of a score or result.

5. Mobile Platform Distribution Disclosure

A. Apple App Store

The SportsHL iOS application is distributed through the Apple App Store. Apple Inc. and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of our Terms and Conditions. SportsHL LLC — not Apple — is solely responsible for the application and its content. Apple provides no warranty, maintenance, or support for the application beyond any obligations required by applicable law. Use of the application is subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.

B. Google Play

The SportsHL Android application is distributed through Google Play. SportsHL LLC — not Google — is solely responsible for the application and its content. Use of the application is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service and the Google Play Developer Program Policies.

6. Data Privacy & Tracking Disclosure

SportsHL’s collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information — including the use of analytics, advertising, and affiliate cookies and tracking pixels — is governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Those policies describe your opt-out rights, including your right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and of targeted advertising under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

  • YouTube & Google: Because the Platform displays YouTube content, Google and YouTube may set cookies to manage streaming and playback. Your interactions with YouTube content are subject to the Google Privacy Policy.
  • Analytics & Affiliate Pixels: The Platform uses third-party analytics and affiliate measurement tools — including Google Analytics 4 and advertising network pixels — to measure performance and attribute referrals. These tools may collect pseudonymized device and behavioral data as described in our Cookie Policy.

7. Content Takedown & Editorial Control Policy

SportsHL LLC maintains a centralized content-review workflow managed by the Company’s executive officers.

  • 48-Hour Acknowledgment Policy: To protect intellectual property rights and ensure data integrity, the Company enforces a strict policy to acknowledge and act upon valid, documented copyright infringement notices or material data-accuracy errors within forty-eight (48) hours or two (2) business days of administrative receipt.
  • DMCA Safe Harbor: SportsHL LLC has designated a DMCA agent and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office to maintain safe-harbor protections under 17 U.S.C. § 512. Takedown requests must satisfy the statutory requirements described in our Terms and Conditions and must be submitted to the designated legal contact below.
  • Unsolicited Material Policy: The Company maintains a strict operational policy rejecting the review or acceptance of unsolicited creative ideas, proprietary data models, code layouts, or external content submissions. Any unsolicited submission will be treated as a non-confidential, non-proprietary Submission as defined in our Terms and Conditions.

8. Changes to This Disclosure Statement

SportsHL LLC reserves the right to update or modify these Disclosures at any time. Material changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date above.
