Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the AfterStumps platform, an Australian business based in Victoria ("AfterStumps", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the platform.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law (Schedule 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)).

1. The service

AfterStumps is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that allows community cricket clubs to create and manage a public-facing club website, including news, fixtures, sponsors, documents, and an optional online store. We provide the platform tools — the club and its administrators are responsible for all content published through their club website.

2. Your account

To use AfterStumps, you must register an account with a valid email address. You agree to:

• provide accurate and current information when registering;
• keep your password secure and not share it with others;
• notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account; and
• take responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account.

You must be at least 18 years old to register an account. If you are registering on behalf of a club or organisation, you warrant that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

3. Plans and pricing

AfterStumps offers the following subscription plans, all prices inclusive of GST:

• Free: No charge. Includes core website features for one club with 1 admin user and 100MB storage.
• Club: $24/month or $240/year. Adds a custom domain, up to 5 admin/editor users, 500MB storage, and removal of AfterStumps branding.
• Pro: $36/month or $360/year. Adds online store tools, up to 10 admin/editor users, 2GB storage, and priority support.

Pricing is subject to change. We will give existing paid subscribers at least 30 days' notice by email before any price increase takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

4. Billing and payment

Paid subscriptions are billed in advance, either monthly or annually, via Stripe. By subscribing, you authorise us to charge your nominated payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

If a payment fails, we will attempt to notify you by email. Access to paid features may be suspended if payment remains outstanding after a reasonable period.

Annual subscriptions include the equivalent of two months free compared to monthly billing and are charged as a single upfront payment.

5. Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain access to paid features until then.

We do not provide refunds for partial billing periods or unused time on annual plans, except where required by the Australian Consumer Law (for example, if the service is not fit for its stated purpose or is not provided with due care and skill). To request a refund under the ACL, contact us at [email protected].

Downgrading to the Free plan takes effect at the end of your billing period. Features and content that exceed the Free plan limits (e.g. additional users, custom domain) will become inaccessible, but your data will be retained for 90 days in case you resubscribe.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use AfterStumps to:

• publish content that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or infringes a third party's intellectual property rights;
• impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation;
• transmit spam, malware, or other harmful code;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the platform or another user's account;
• use the platform for purposes other than operating a legitimate community cricket club or similar sporting organisation; or
• resell or sublicense access to the platform.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account that we reasonably believe is in breach of these Terms, with or without notice depending on the severity of the breach.

7. Your content and data

You retain ownership of all content you upload to AfterStumps (news posts, images, documents, etc.). By uploading content, you grant us a limited licence to store, display, and deliver that content for the purpose of operating your club website.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that content you publish does not infringe any laws or third-party rights. We do not monitor user content but reserve the right to remove content that we are notified is unlawful or in breach of these Terms.

Upon account closure, we will retain your data for 90 days and then permanently delete it. You are encouraged to export any content you wish to keep before closing your account.

8. Intellectual property

The AfterStumps platform, including its software, design, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by us and protected by Australian and international intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any intellectual property rights to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the platform.

9. Service availability

We aim to provide a reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. We may perform scheduled maintenance from time to time and will endeavour to minimise disruption. We are not liable for any loss caused by downtime or service interruptions beyond our reasonable control.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AfterStumps' liability to you for any claim arising from your use of the platform is limited to the total subscription fees you paid in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages, including loss of revenue, loss of data, or loss of goodwill.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any right or remedy, or any guarantee, warranty, or other term or condition, implied or imposed by the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. For services supplied to a consumer within the meaning of the ACL, our liability for a failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited (at our option) to resupplying the service or paying the cost of having the service resupplied.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify account holders by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Continued use of the platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept the changes, you may cancel your account before the effective date.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia. Any disputes arising under these Terms will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria, except where prohibited by applicable law.
