Terms of Service

Last updated: October 25, 2026

These Terms cover your use of the Sideline app and sidelinemediagroup.com, run by Sideline Media ("Sideline", "we"). By creating an account or using Sideline you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Sideline.

Who can use Sideline

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18, you confirm that a parent or guardian knows you are using Sideline. You are responsible for your account and for keeping your password private.

What Sideline is

Sideline helps athletes find sports photographers and videographers and send booking requests. Sideline is a place to connect. Photographers and athletes make their own agreements. We are not a party to those agreements and are not responsible for the work, delivery, or payment between users. Payments are not processed in the app at this time.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post. By posting, you give us permission to host and show it in Sideline so the service works. You promise that you have the right to post it, including permission from people who are identifiable in photos, and permission from a parent or guardian where needed for a minor.

Photographers: the copyright in your photos stays with you unless you agree otherwise with the athlete.

Rules

No harassment, bullying, threats, hate, or sexual content.
No content that sexualizes or endangers minors, or contacts minors in a way that is unsafe or inappropriate.
No scams, fake profiles, impersonation, or spam.
No photos you don't have the right to share.
Don't try to break, overload, or get around Sideline's security.

Reporting and blocking

You can report profiles, photos, and booking requests from inside the app, and block anyone. We review reports and may remove content or accounts that break these Terms. Contact: contact@sidelinemediagroup.com.

Ending your account

You can delete your account anytime in the app (Account, then Delete account). We may suspend or remove accounts that break these Terms or put others at risk.

Disclaimers and limits

Sideline is provided "as is" and may change or be unavailable at times. To the fullest extent the law allows, Sideline is not liable for indirect or incidental losses, or for disputes between users. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have by law.

Changes and contact

We may update these Terms and will change the date above. Using Sideline after a change means you accept it. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Questions: contact@sidelinemediagroup.com.
