Terms of Service

1. Agreement

By joining the Dinkredibles community, agreeing to the Dinkredibles Charter at membership signup, or accessing dinkredibles.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. This site and its community are operated by Proluminary LLC, a Utah limited liability company.

Agreement with the Dinkredibles Charter is a condition of membership. By checking the charter agreement box at signup, you confirm that you've read the charter and are joining in good faith. Membership was conditional on that agreement from the start; removal revokes that condition, it doesn't adjudicate a rule.

2. The Charter

The Dinkredibles Charter is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Agreeing to these Terms means agreeing to the charter. Breaching the charter is a breach of these Terms and grounds for removal.

3. Eligibility

You must be 18 or older to join, view or post. Membership is for men who live in the United States or Canada. Accounts are personal: one man, one account, and you may not share your login with anyone, including family. If I learn an account belongs to someone under 18, I close it and refund the current month. I may decline or end a membership that does not meet these conditions.

4. Subscription and Billing

Membership is billed monthly. Cancelling stops future billing; access continues to the end of the month already paid for.

Price changes: If the membership price rises, members subscribed at the time keep their current rate for as long as their subscription stays active. A member who cancels and later rejoins pays the price in effect when he rejoins.

Cancellation: You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation is never gated behind an email or phone call; the path is the same medium as signup.

If a free trial is ever offered, the trial duration and the date billing begins will be disclosed clearly before you start the trial.

Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. I do not store payment card information directly.

If you cancel, you won't be charged again, and no partial-month refund is given. If I remove you for breaking the Charter or these Terms, I refund the unused part of the current month. If I end your membership for any other reason, I refund the unused part of the current month. If I close an account because it belongs to someone under 18, I refund the current month. Otherwise, fees are non-refundable.

5. Membership Discretion and Removal

Membership is at my discretion. I can remove any member at any time, for any reason or none, including conduct that violates the spirit of the charter, whether or not it breaks a written rule. This is a private community, not a public square. The forum works because of who's in it, and I protect it.

I also reserve the right to remove, edit, or restrict any member-posted content at my sole discretion, with or without notice, independently of any action taken against the member's account.

Examples of conduct that may result in removal include, but are not limited to:

• Sharing private community content outside the forum
• Soliciting other members for products or services outside the business space, including through unrequested private messages
• Disclosing other members' private information
• Persistent off-topic agitation or behavior incompatible with the community's purpose
• Disrespect or harassment toward other members
• Non-payment
• Any violation of these Terms

Decisions on removal are final. For the house style, see the Community Guidelines.

5A. Account Closure

Email legal@dinkredibles.com from the address on your account and I'll close it.

Posts stay in the forum. Conversations here belong to those involved, and pulling one man's side out leaves everyone else talking to themselves. If you'd rather your name not stay attached, say so and I'll anonymize the account: your words remain, your name comes off.

If you posted something you shouldn't have about your family, your employer, or your health, tell me which post and I'll remove it.

Payment records are retained as required by tax law.

6. User Content

You own the posts, videos, and other content you submit to the community. By submitting content, you grant me a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, and distribute that content within the forum for the purpose of operating the community. This license continues after your membership ends and after your account is closed, so that threads stay intact for the men who took part in them. It is limited to use inside the forum: if I ever want to use something you wrote in material published outside it, I'll ask you first.

You are solely responsible for the content you post. By posting content, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights to post it and that doing so does not infringe any third-party rights or violate applicable law. Do not post content that infringes third-party intellectual property rights, is legally defamatory, or violates applicable law. Do not post personal information about minors.

7. Competition and Stakes-Based Play

The Dinkredibles community provides formats, discussion, and information about local competition including stakes-based play. Members who choose to organize or participate in local play do so independently and are solely responsible for compliance with applicable local and state law, including any rules governing prize pools, wagering, or entry fees in their jurisdiction.

I do not run, bank, or take a cut of any game. The paid product is access to the community and the knowledge within it, never the games themselves.

8. Intellectual Property

All content I publish on dinkredibles.com, the Dinkredibles YouTube channel, and within the community (including written content, videos, frameworks, and methodology) is the intellectual property of Proluminary LLC. Content members post is covered by section 6. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use this content commercially without written permission.

9. DMCA and Copyright

I respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid notices of copyright infringement under the DMCA.

I will terminate the membership of anyone who repeatedly posts material infringing others' copyright. Copyright complaints go to the designated agent listed below.

Takedown Notice

If you believe content in the Dinkredibles community infringes your copyright, send a written notice to my designated agent containing all of the following:

• A description of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.
• A description of the infringing material and its location, sufficient for me to find it.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.

Counter-Notice

If you believe your content was removed in error, send a counter-notice to my designated agent containing:

• Identification of the content removed and its location before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you believe the material was removed by mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district in which your address is located (or any judicial district where Proluminary LLC may be found, if you are outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

10. No Medical Advice and Assumption of Risk

The content in this community is for informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute medical, physical therapy, or sports medicine advice. Consult a qualified healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise or training program.

Pickleball and physical training carry inherent risks of injury. By following any instruction provided through Dinkredibles, or organizing or joining any local play format, you voluntarily assume all associated risks.

11. Disclaimers

The community and all content are provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. I do not guarantee any specific outcome, improvement, or skill level. Results depend on individual effort, consistency, and many factors outside my control.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, my total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or your membership will not exceed the amount you paid in the twelve months preceding the claim. I am not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for content posted by other members.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Proluminary LLC, Kieran Ricci, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, and successors from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to: (a) your use of the community or this site; (b) any content you post or submit; (c) your breach of these Terms; or (d) your violation of any third-party right, including any intellectual property, privacy, or proprietary right.

Proluminary LLC reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate in asserting any available defenses.

14. Privacy

Personal information is collected and used as described in the Privacy Policy.

15. Updates to These Terms

I may update these Terms at any time. Members who joined before any effective update date remain governed by the prior terms until their current billing period renews; renewal constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. I will provide notice before that renewal when material changes are made.

16. Governing Law and Venue

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Venue. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the charter, or your membership shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Washington County, Utah, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.

Small claims. Either party may instead bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.

No class actions. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, or representative proceeding.

You have asked that these Terms and related documents be provided in English.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force and effect.
