Deckset Terms of Service

Last updated: September 29, 2026

These Terms are an agreement between you and Swim Coach Mike LLC, doing business as Deckset ("Deckset," "we," "us"), PO Box 51412, Midland, TX 79710. They cover your use of the Deckset website and app (sometimes shown as "Deck Set"). By creating an account, starting a trial, or buying a plan, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy at /privacy. If you don't agree, don't use Deckset.

1. Who can use Deckset

• You must be at least 18 years old and able to enter a binding contract. Deckset is built for swim coaches and other adults who write practices. It is not for children or for swimmers to use directly.
• If you use Deckset on behalf of a club, school, or team, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for it.
• Deckset is intended for use in the United States.

2. Your account

• Give accurate information and keep your login secure. You're responsible for activity on your account.
• One person per account. Don't share logins. Lifetime beta and founder pricing is personal to your account and can't be transferred or resold.
• Tell us right away at mike@usedeckset.net if you think your account has been compromised.

3. Plans and prices

Prices are in U.S. dollars. Prices don't include sales tax. Where sales tax applies, it's added at checkout, and any price lock covers the plan price, not taxes. Payments are processed by Stripe, and by paying you also agree to Stripe's terms for the payment.

3.1 Private beta lifetime access (invite-only, starting October 2, 2026).

The private beta is a one-time $50 payment. It is not a subscription and never renews. Lifetime access means: Access to Deckset and future product updates for as long as Deckset operates. Your lifetime beta access includes Premium when it launches. We don't have a Premium launch date yet. If Deckset isn't for you, email mike@usedeckset.net within 14 days of your purchase for a full refund. After a refund, lifetime access ends.

• "Lifetime" refers to the life of the Deckset product, not your lifetime or ours.
• What's included: the standard Deckset plan (called Basic) and future updates to it, and Premium at no extra cost when it launches, for as long as your lifetime access lasts. Until Premium launches, lifetime beta access covers Basic.
• If Deckset shuts down, we will give at least 30 days' notice by email and a way to export your practices. Lifetime access ends when Deckset stops operating, and no refund is owed after the 14-day money-back period.
• If Deckset is sold, we will ask the buyer to honor lifetime access.
• Beta features may be unfinished or change. See section 12.

3.2 Founding Coach plan ($50 per year; offer opens October 16, 2026).

Founding Coach access is $50 per year, billed yearly. It renews automatically every year at $50 until you cancel. Your $50 price stays locked for as long as your subscription stays active. Cancel anytime in Billing (Stripe customer portal): you keep access through the end of your paid year, then the founder rate ends and can't be restored. We email a reminder before each yearly renewal. If Deckset isn't for you, email mike@usedeckset.net within 14 days of your first payment, or within 14 days of a yearly renewal charge, for a full refund. A refund ends the founder subscription. The offer closes October 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM Central Time or when 50 coaches have paid, whichever comes first.

• If you come back later after cancelling, you'll pay the regular price then in effect.
• Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, Stripe will retry it and we'll email you. If you update your payment method and the payment goes through before Stripe's retry period ends, you keep the founder rate. If the retry period ends without a successful payment, the subscription is canceled and the founder rate ends.
• Refunds under the money-back guarantee end the founder subscription immediately, and the founder rate can't be restored.
• Founder spots. Only paid, active founder subscriptions count toward the 50 spots. After the offer closes, it does not reopen, even if a founder later cancels or is refunded.
• What's included: Founder and Basic plans include the features listed at purchase; any future plans will be offered separately.

3.3 Basic plan (from October 30, 2026).

• Monthly: Basic is $12 per month and renews automatically each month until you cancel. Cancel anytime in Billing (Stripe customer portal); cancellation takes effect at the end of your current month and you won't be charged again. Monthly payments are not refunded, including for partial months.
• Yearly: Basic yearly is $99 per year and renews automatically each year at the then-current yearly price until you cancel. We email a reminder before each yearly renewal. Cancel anytime in Billing (Stripe customer portal); cancellation takes effect at the end of your paid year. If you email mike@usedeckset.net within 14 days of a yearly charge, we'll refund it in full. Otherwise, no partial refunds.
• Price changes. If we change the Basic price, we'll email you at least 30 days before the new price applies to your next renewal, and you can cancel before then.

3.4 Free trial (Basic, available from October 30, 2026).

Your free trial lasts 14 days and doesn't require a card. If you don't choose a plan and add a payment method by the end of the trial, you won't be charged; your account becomes read-only until you subscribe. If you choose a plan during the trial, your first charge happens when the trial ends unless you cancel first. One free trial per coach.

• When a trial ends without a plan, nothing in your account is deleted.
• Founder and beta customers don't get a separate trial.

3.5 Features that aren't available yet. Some features are marked "coming soon" or described in these Terms as "when available," such as attendance tracking, the Community library, Follow, and in-app account deletion. They aren't part of what you buy until they're released, and the parts of these Terms about each one apply once it's available. Premium is not available yet. Lifetime beta access includes Premium when it launches; we don't have a launch date (see section 3.1). Founder and Basic plans include the features listed at purchase; any future plans will be offered separately.

4. Renewals, reminders, and cancellation

• How to cancel: Cancel anytime in Deckset → Billing, which opens the Stripe customer portal, or email mike@usedeckset.net and we'll cancel for you. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid period; you keep access until then and won't be charged again.
• In the Stripe customer portal you can also see your plan, renewal date, invoices, and payment method.
• After your paid period ends, your account becomes read-only until you subscribe again, and nothing is deleted except as our Privacy Policy describes.
• Reminders: for yearly plans, we email a reminder before each renewal, through Stripe.
• No partial refunds. Except for the 14-day refunds described above, we don't give refunds or credits for unused time or partial periods.
• Deleting your account also cancels any future renewals (section 6).

5. Refunds

• Private beta ($50 one-time): full refund if you email mike@usedeckset.net within 14 days of your purchase. After a refund, lifetime access ends.
• Founding Coach ($50/year): full refund if you email within 14 days of your first payment, or within 14 days of a yearly renewal charge. A refund ends the founder subscription, and the founder rate can't be restored.
• Basic yearly ($99/year): full refund if you email within 14 days of a yearly charge, including the first charge and each renewal.
• Basic monthly ($12/month): no refunds, including for partial months. Cancel anytime to stop the next charge.
• Except for the 14-day refunds described above, we don't give refunds or credits for unused time or partial periods.
• Refunds go back to the original payment method through Stripe. We may refuse refunds for abuse, such as repeated buy-refund cycles. Nothing here limits any refund rights you have under applicable law.

6. Deleting your account

• You can delete your account at any time by emailing mike@usedeckset.net from your account email with the subject "Delete my account." When the in-app option is available (Settings → Delete account), you can use that too.
• Before deleting, cancel any active subscription in Billing (Stripe customer portal). Deleting your account also cancels future renewals. Deleting does not by itself give a refund (see section 5).
• What gets deleted: your account, practices, practice groups, set library, swimmer rosters, and attendance records, from our live systems within 30 days and from backups within 90 days.
• What may remain: billing records we must keep for tax and accounting; practices you shared to the Community library that other coaches already saved to their own accounts (section 8.3); and anonymous, aggregated statistics.
• Deletion is permanent. Lifetime beta access and founder pricing end and can't be restored.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Break the law, or infringe anyone's copyright, privacy, or other rights. For example, don't share another coach's or publisher's copyrighted practices by link or in the Community library without permission.
• Enter personal information about swimmers beyond what you need to run practices, or enter anyone's information without authority to do so (section 9).
• Put swimmer names or other personal information in practices you share by link or in the Community library.
• Harass, impersonate, or spam other users, including through Follow.
• Scrape, copy in bulk, reverse engineer, overload, or try to get around security or access limits, including another user's private content.
• Resell or sublicense Deckset access, or share your account.
• Upload malware or anything harmful.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these rules (section 13).

8. Your content

8.1 You own your practices. You keep ownership of the practices, sets, notes, rosters, and other content you put into Deckset ("Your Content").

8.2 License to run Deckset. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, format, display, print, and transmit Your Content only as needed to operate, secure, and improve Deckset for you. That includes showing a practice to people you send a share link to. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for backups kept for a limited time and anything covered by 8.3.

8.3 Community library (opt-in; when available). If you choose to share a practice to the Community library:

• You give Deckset a license to display it in the library, and you give every other Deckset user a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to view, copy, save, modify, print, and use that practice for their own coaching. They may not sell or resell it, for example in paid practice books or plans.
• Community practices are shown anonymously, without your name or profile.
• You confirm the practice is yours to share and contains no swimmer names or other personal information.
• Unsharing: you can remove a practice from the library at any time, and it stops being shown from then on. Copies other coaches already saved to their own accounts remain, and they may keep using those copies for their own coaching.
• Roster and attendance data is never shared to the Community library.

8.4 Follow (opt-in; when available). If you let other coaches follow you, followers see your display name and only the practices you choose to share with followers. Following never gives access to your private practices, rosters, or attendance, and it doesn't show which Community practices are yours. You can remove followers or turn off following at any time.

8.5 Share links. Anyone with a share link can view that practice without an account. You choose which practices you share. Don't include swimmer names in practices you share by link.

8.6 Feedback. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without owing you anything. Testimonials are always optional, and we will only publish one with your permission.

9. Swimmer information and coach responsibilities

• When you enter swimmer names, swim times, or attendance, you confirm you have the authority to do so under your club's, school's, or team's policies and any agreements with parents or guardians, and that you'll use the information only for coaching and team administration.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter and for responding to parents' requests about their child's information. We'll help by deleting data on request.
• See the Privacy Policy's "Children and swimmers' information" section.

10. Coaching content, not medical or safety advice

Deckset is a tool for writing and organizing practices. Practices in Deckset, including shared or Community practices, pace and color charts, and calculator outputs, are coaching content, not medical, health, or safety advice. They may contain errors or be unsuitable for a particular swimmer. You, the coach, are solely responsible for deciding what your athletes do, for supervision, for water safety, and for each athlete's health, fitness, and ability. Follow your governing body's safety rules and your facility's rules.

11. Our intellectual property

Deckset's software, design, name, and logo belong to Swim Coach Mike LLC. Apart from the right to use Deckset under these Terms, you don't get any rights to them.

12. Beta and changes to Deckset

Deckset is new and is improving continuously. We may add, change, or remove features. During the private beta and after it, some features may be unfinished or unavailable at times. We won't remove the core ability to write, save, and print practices from a paid plan during a period you've paid for without offering a pro-rated refund for the unused paid period.

13. Suspension and termination

• You can stop using Deckset and cancel or delete your account at any time (sections 4 and 6).
• We may suspend or end your account if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, don't pay, or if we must for legal or security reasons. Where reasonable, we will warn you first and let you export your practices. If we end your account without cause, we will refund any prepaid, unused portion of a subscription.
• Sections that by their nature should survive (for example, 8.3 Community licenses already granted, and sections 10, 14, 15, 16, and 17) survive termination.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

Except as expressly stated in these Terms, Deckset is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't promise that Deckset will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that data will never be lost. Keep your own copies of important practices and attendance records. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain disclaimers, so some of this may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows: (a) we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or athlete injury arising from practices or coaching decisions; and (b) our total liability for any claim relating to Deckset is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or $50. These limits don't apply where the law doesn't allow them.

16. Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify Swim Coach Mike LLC against third-party claims arising from Your Content, your coaching decisions, swimmer information you entered without authority, or your breach of these Terms.

17. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Before filing any claim, please email mike@usedeckset.net so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Any claim must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Texas, unless you may bring it in small-claims court.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version with a new "Last updated" date. For material changes, such as prices, renewal terms, or refunds, we will email you at least 14 days before they take effect. Changes don't apply retroactively, and they won't reduce the lifetime beta access or founder price lock you already bought. If you don't agree, you can cancel before the change takes effect.

19. Other terms

These Terms plus the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between us about Deckset. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing a provision isn't a waiver. You may not assign these Terms. We may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of Deckset.
