2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICERunYourPool provides pool commissioners with a web-based platform for creating, hosting, and managing sports/pop-culture pools. All of our pools are private, and are run at the sole discretion of the pool commissioner, who controls and has access to all settings, rules, picks, and other elements associated with their pool. By joining a private pool, pool participants accept that the pool commissioner has FULL CONTROL over their pool, and must address any concerns directly with them.
RunYourPool provides its pool management service to pool commissioners for a small fee. There is no charge for pool participants. By agreeing to these terms of service, pool commissioners agree to either pay the full-service fee (after the free trial period) or have access denied to their pool until such time as full payment is received by RunYourPool. Due to costs we incur for server resources and payment processing, all sales are final.
