Terms of Service

Welcome to MockSlate. These terms are a contract between you and Cody Blaze Enterprises LLC, the company that operates mockslate.com. We’ve written them in plain English on purpose. By using MockSlate you agree to them. Questions any time: hello@mockslate.com.

1. What MockSlate is

MockSlate provides tools for building fan-made mock sports schedules, plus games and contests built around real schedule releases. Everything you build or see here is a fan-made projection. Nothing on MockSlate is an official schedule, and graded results are for entertainment.

2. Your account

You need an account (email and password) to save mocks, enter contests, or subscribe to Pro. You must be at least 13 to create an account. Keep your password to yourself — activity on your account is your responsibility. One account per person. If you choose a public display name or a league team name, it appears on leaderboards and public pages, so it must not be offensive, impersonate someone else, or include names, logos, or trademarks you don’t have the right to use. We filter and may reject or replace names that break these rules.

3. The free tier and contests

The mock builders’ free tier and our free prize contests cost nothing to use or enter. Contests with cash prizes are free to enter — no purchase necessary — open to residents of eligible jurisdictions who are 18 or older, and void where prohibited. Each contest is governed by its own Contest Official Rules (eligibility, entry windows, scoring, tiebreakers, and prize delivery), published before that contest’s entries open. If these terms and a contest’s Official Rules ever disagree, the Official Rules control for that contest. Paying for Pro never improves your odds or prize eligibility in any contest.

4. MockSlate Pro

MockSlate Pro is an auto-renewing annual subscription. The standard price is $19/year; accounts that subscribe during the 2026 founding season pay $12/year and keep that rate for as long as they stay continuously subscribed. Your subscription renews automatically each year until you cancel. Cancelling is as easy as subscribing — one click on your account page. When you cancel, auto-renewal stops and you keep Pro through the end of the period you’ve already paid for.

Price changes. If the renewal price of your subscription is ever going to increase, we’ll email you at least 30 days before the renewal so you can cancel first. A price change never alters the founding rate of a continuously-subscribed founding member.

Lifetime Pro is an optional one-time purchase that grants Pro for as long as MockSlate operates. It never auto-renews. Gifts: Pro can be gifted; a gift grants the recipient one year of Pro on their own account and never auto-renews. All prices are shown at the point of purchase.

Payments and refunds. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your card number. If a charge was a mistake or something we sold you doesn’t work, email us within 30 days and we’ll make it right, up to and including a refund. Beyond that, fees are non-refundable except where the law says otherwise — cancellation keeps your access through the period you paid for rather than refunding it.

5. Pro games and private leagues

Games that come with Pro are played for leaderboard glory only. They have no cash prizes and no entry fees. Private friend leagues never have buy-ins, pots, or payouts of any kind, and MockSlate never handles money between players. MockSlate is not a gambling service.

6. Your content

You own the mocks you build. Saved mocks are private to your account. When you enter a contest, the entry becomes part of the public contest: your entry, its title, your display name, and its graded result appear on public leaderboard and scorecard pages. By entering, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and share those public pages for as long as the contest and its results remain published. You can also export graphics of your mocks and share them anywhere — they’re yours.

Anything visible to other people — mock titles, display names, team names — must be yours to use. Don’t include content that infringes someone else’s trademarks or copyrights, and don’t post anything hateful, obscene, or illegal. We run an automated filter on public names, and we reserve the right to remove or rename any content that breaks these rules. To report content, email hello@mockslate.com and we’ll review it promptly.

7. Acceptable use

Don’t break MockSlate: no scraping at abusive volume, no probing or disrupting our systems, no circumventing Pro gates or contest entry limits, no automated contest entries, and no using the service to violate any law. We may suspend or terminate accounts that do any of this.

8. Affiliate program

MockSlate operates a partner program for creators and publishers. Participation is governed by separate affiliate terms provided when you join that program; nothing in these terms creates an affiliate relationship.

9. Independence and intellectual property

MockSlate is an independent fan tool and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the National Football League, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, FIFA, or any team or national federation. Team names are used for identification purposes only.

MockSlate’s software, design, data presentations, and original content belong to Cody Blaze Enterprises LLC. You may not copy or resell the service itself, but you’re always welcome to share what you build with it.

10. Disclaimers

MockSlate is provided “as is” and “as available.” We work hard to keep it accurate and online, but we make no warranties of any kind — express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement — and we don’t guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. Schedule data and grading are for entertainment; don’t use them for anything that matters if they’re wrong.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Cody Blaze Enterprises LLC will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising out of your use of MockSlate. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of $50 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose. Some jurisdictions don’t allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Ending things

You can stop using MockSlate at any time, and you can ask us to delete your account and data by emailing hello@mockslate.com. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms; if we do, and you have an active paid subscription with no violation-related cause on your side, we’ll refund the unused portion.

13. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we’ll update the date at the top and, for significant changes, tell you by email or an in-product notice before they take effect. Using MockSlate after a change takes effect means you accept the new terms.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that can’t be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Florida, and both sides consent to their jurisdiction. Before filing anything, email us — most problems are fixable in one reply.
