1. Acceptance of these terms
By creating an account, posting in the Community forum, or otherwise using Unseeded, you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
2. Who can use Unseeded
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, and of legal age to bet where you live to log picks. Unseeded discusses betting odds and market data as editorial content — it is not a betting service, and using it does not require you to gamble — but because of that subject matter, accounts are restricted to adults.
3. Your account
You're responsible for the security of your own account, including choosing a password you don't reuse elsewhere and keeping it confidential. You're responsible for activity that happens under your account. Tell us if you believe your account has been compromised.
You agree to provide a real, working email address at signup. Usernames and profile content (avatar, bio) must not impersonate another person or organization, or be misleading about who you are.
4. Community conduct
The Community forum is for discussing matches, picks, and professional tennis. When you post, you agree not to:
- Harass, threaten, or target another person or group.
- Post spam, unsolicited advertising, or content unrelated to tennis.
- Post anything illegal, or that infringes someone else's copyright or other rights.
- Impersonate another person, player, or organization.
- Attempt to circumvent a suspension, ban, or moderation decision.
Moderators and admins may remove content, lock or pin threads, and suspend or ban accounts that violate these terms, at their discretion. Moderation actions are logged internally for accountability.
5. Content you post
You keep ownership of whatever you post — threads, replies, your bio. By posting it, you give Unseeded a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and distribute that content as part of operating the site (for example, showing your reply on a thread page). That license ends when you delete the content or your account, except where it's already been shown to other users as part of a public conversation.
Content is stored and displayed as plain text — we don't render HTML or scripts inside posts, threads, or bios.
6. Not betting or financial advice
Match picks, odds, and analysis on Unseeded are editorial content built from publicly available market data — not a recommendation to place a bet, and not financial advice. We are not a bookmaker and don't accept wagers. See our responsible-use page for support resources.
Your pick record
Signed-in members can log the calls they make while reading — a player and the price shown at the time. This is a personal record kept on Unseeded; no money changes hands here, and any bet you place is made in your own account with a third-party operator, under that operator's terms and the law where you are. Before logging a first pick you'll be asked to confirm you're of legal age to bet where you live. A pick can be changed or removed until its match starts. After that it is locked and forms part of your record; we don't edit or delete locked picks, for anyone. Records are private unless you choose to make yours public, in which case your graded picks and win–loss record are shown on your member page and the leaderboard. Grading comes from our data provider and may be incomplete; a match that ends in a retirement or walkover is recorded as void.
7. Third-party data and services
Tournament results, rankings, and odds are sourced from third-party providers and may occasionally be delayed, incomplete, or wrong. City photos are sourced from Unsplash. We don't control these providers' availability or accuracy.
8. No warranty, limitation of liability
Unseeded is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, Unseeded and its operators aren't liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, including decisions made based on content you read here.
9. Ending your access
You can delete your own account at any time from your account settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, per our moderation policy.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site changes. We'll update the "last updated" date above when we do; continuing to use Unseeded after a change means you accept the update.
