Terms of Use

  1. By using TennisOne, You agree to these “Terms of Use.”

    Thanks very much for your interest in TennisOne, owned and operated by SportsWebOne, Inc. By using TennisOne and any of its services, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use TennisOne. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY AS THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS. THESE INCLUDE VARIOUS LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS, AND A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE THAT GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED.

  2. Description of TennisOne services TennisOne services include the TennisOne website and TennisOne Video Network (the video-sharing portion of our site) currently located at www.tennisone.com and all of its online services, including but not limited to, eTennisTeam and eTennisonePro. Hereafter, all of these are described in this document as “TennisOne.”

  3. General Guidelines—Have fun but play by the rules—We do Monitor!

    TennisOne was designed for the use and enjoyment of the TennisOne community and general tennis community. If you want to share tennis videos that you, your family, or your friends have shot with your own cameras and share those videos with a part or the entire tennis community, you are most welcome. That’s what the TennisOne Video Network, the video sharing wing of TennisOne, was built for, and we hope you have a great time on our site. While you should read all the Terms of Use, if your intent is to share your tennis-related videos in the manner just described, we anticipate few problems or issues arising.

    By the same measure and keeping the intent and purpose of TennisOne in mind, you may not upload CONTENT OR VIDEOS THAT ARE NOT RELEVENT TO THE TENNIS COMMUNITY. In other words, there are many other video-sharing sites on the Internet where you may post personal expression or videos that have no tennis relevance. If that is your purpose, please post your content to those sites. We very actively monitor all content posted to our site and if you break the rules embodied in these “Terms of Use,” you will be detected and your service will be terminated.

  4. Prohibited Actions and Activities; Upload your own home movies, but don 't upload videos you've copied from TV/DVDs/websites.

    TennisOne, through its TennisOne Video Network, offers a video sharing service. Fundamentally, you can upload your own tennis-related videos (up to 100 MBs) and share them privately with friends or with the public. HOWEVER, OUR POLICIES ON WHAT TYPE OF VIDEOS YOU CAN UPLOAD AND SHARE ARE DIFFERENT AND MORE RESTRICTIVE than many other popular video sharing sites which allow the posting of copyrighted or trademarked videos. You may share any tennis-related video you have shot with your camera or any video for which you own the trademark, copyright therein, or have the express permission of the copyright or trademark holder to upload and share.

    To clarify, unless you are the copyright or trademark holder (or have their permission) you may not UPLOAD CONTENT OR VIDEOS THAT ARE COPYRIGHTED OR TRADEMARKED. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CANNOT COPY A VIDEO AND/OR CONTENT FROM THE TV, A CD, DVD, ANOTHER WEBISTE, OR ANY OTHER COPYRIGHTED OR TRAEMARKED SOURCE AND POST THAT CONTENT TO TENNISONE.

    Also prohibited actions/activities on TennisOne include, but are not limited to, publishing materials that:

    • Are not relevant to the tennis community.
    • violate, plagiarize or infringe the rights of any third party including, without limitation, copyright, trademark, patent, rights of privacy or publicity, or any other right of any third party;
    • (a) are unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, profane, or indecent;
    • constitute or encourage conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate the law;
    • contain a virus or other harmful or potentially harmful component;
    • contain any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, spam, or any other kind of solicitation; and/or constitute or contain false or misleading indications of origin or statements of fact;
    • inhibit or discourage any other user from using and enjoying TennisOne and its services (i.e., this is not the place to post content promoting competitive services).

    Your License to Us. When you provide TennisOne with an ISC, you grant to TennisOne and its affiliates, representatives, and a non-exclusive, permanent and non-revocable, fully-paid, world-wide, transferable, sublicenseable, royalty-free license, with the right to grant sublicenses through multiple tiers of sublicensees, to display, publicly perform, distribute (including, without limitation, through third-party Web sites), store, transcode, broadcast, transmit, reproduce, edit, modify, create derivative works, and otherwise use and reuse your ISC (or any portions or derivative works thereof) in any manner, in any medium now known or hereinafter created, for any purpose.

Private ISCs, on the other hand, are available only to those people with a link to the ISC. Any person who receives a link to a private ISC may forward the link to others. Accordingly, TennisOne does not, and cannot, guarantee that a private ISC will remain private. Because of the viral nature of social media, you should not submit any content on TennisOne, whether through public or private election, that you do not want to be viewed by others.

Nonetheless, an ISC that you remove may still be available to third parties who previously acquired the ISC and TennisOne may maintain copies for archival purposes or publicity or promotion purposes. TennisOne is not required to host, display, or distribute any ISC, and may remove them at any time. TennisOne is not responsible for any loss, theft or damage of any kind to any ISC.

    Your Warranty about Your ISC. You represent and warrant that: (a) you own all rights in your ISC (including, without limitation, all rights to the audio, video, or digital recording, and the performance contained in your ISC) or, alternatively, you have acquired all necessary rights in your ISC to enable you to grant to TennisOne the rights in your ISC described herein; (b) you have paid or satisfied and will pay or satisfy in full all license fees, clearance fees, royalties, and any other financial or third party obligations of any kind, arising from any use or commercial exploitation of your ISC, and TennisOne will not be responsible for such obligations; (c) you are the sole individual pictured and/or heard in your ISC, or, alternatively, you have obtained permission from each person (including consent from parents or guardians for any individual under the applicable age of majority) who appears and/or is heard in your ISC to grant the rights to TennisOne described herein; (d) you will make such permissions available to TennisOne upon request; and (e) your ISC do not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or any other legal or moral rights of any third party. You agree to keep all records necessary to establish that your ISC do not violate any of the foregoing representations and warranties and to make such records available to TennisOne upon TennisOne's request.
