Use of the site, the tools, and the Upside+ subscription.
1. What this site is
The Upside Index publishes football analysis: fantasy football projections and rankings, waiver and survivor tools, and an NFL Draft prospect board and mock draft simulator. Everything it produces is a model output and an opinion. It is informational, it changes as the underlying data changes, and it is not a guarantee of any outcome.
Accuracy is published at /methodology, including the criteria the model does not currently meet. Please read it before relying on a number from this site.
Nothing here is betting advice, investment advice, or professional advice of any kind. You are responsible for your own decisions, including any wager you place.
2. Accounts
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account, and at least 18 to subscribe.
- You are responsible for the security of your account and for activity under it.
- One account per person. Sharing credentials so that several people use one paid subscription is not permitted.
- We may suspend or close an account that is being used to scrape the site, to resell its output, or to abuse other users.
3. Free and paid access
Three levels of access, described in full at /pricing:
- No account. A public preview of each tool, updated with the underlying data. No sign-up, no email address.
- Free account. The whole of the current week: every player ranked, the full waiver list, the survivor planner and the season-long board. No card required, and no trial that converts into a charge.
- Upside+. Everything in a free account, plus the multi-week look-ahead rankings and the evidence behind each projection.
4. Subscription, billing and renewal
4.1 Price and term
Upside+ costs $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year, in US dollars, excluding any tax that applies where you are. You choose the term at checkout.
4.2 Automatic renewal
Your subscription renews automatically. At the end of each billing period we charge the payment method on file for another period of the same length at the then-current price, and we keep doing that until you cancel. A monthly subscription renews every month on the day of the month you subscribed; an annual subscription renews every year on that date.
4.3 Trial
If a free trial is offered, its length is stated at checkout. A trial converts into a paid subscription automatically when it ends unless you cancel before then. You can cancel during a trial at no cost.
4.4 Payment processing
Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number. Stripe's handling of your payment data is governed by Stripe's own terms and privacy policy.
4.5 Failed payments
If a charge fails we may retry it and will email you. Access continues during the retry window and is suspended if payment is not completed. A suspended subscription can be reactivated by updating the payment method.
5. Cancellation
You can cancel at any time, from your profile page, in the same number of steps it took to subscribe. No phone call, no email, no retention offer you have to decline.
- Cancelling stops the next renewal. It does not end the period you have already paid for: you keep Upside+ until that period ends, then move to the free account.
- Your account, your league settings and your saved data remain after cancelling. You lose the paid features, not your account.
- You can delete your account entirely by asking us at /contact. Deleting the account cancels any active subscription.
6. Refunds
We would rather refund you than have you feel cheated.
- Within 14 days of a first subscription or a renewal, ask us and we will refund that charge in full, no reason needed.
- After 14 days, a period already begun is generally not refundable, except where the law where you live says otherwise, or where the service was substantially unavailable for a prolonged part of it. If that happens, tell us and we will sort it out.
- Statutory rights, including any right of withdrawal under consumer law where you live, are not affected by anything in this section.
7. Price changes
We may change the price of Upside+. If we do:
- We will tell you by email at least 30 days before the change takes effect.
- The new price applies from your next renewal, never to a period you have already paid for.
- If you do not want to pay it, cancel before that renewal and you will not be charged the new price.
8. Changes to the service
The product changes. Features are added, and occasionally a feature is removed because the evidence for it did not hold up. If we remove something material from a paid tier during a period you have paid for, you may cancel and ask for a pro-rata refund of the remainder.
We aim to keep the site available but do not promise uninterrupted service. Data feeds we depend on can fail, and when they do we would rather show you that a number is stale than invent one.
9. Content and acceptable use
- The rankings, ratings, projections, tools and written content on this site are ours or are licensed to us. You may use them for your own football decisions and quote them with attribution and a link.
- You may not redistribute them commercially, republish them in bulk, resell access, or use them to build a competing dataset or product, without written permission.
- You may not scrape the site, use automated means to collect its data, or attempt to circumvent the access controls on paid or account-only data.
- Some underlying data is licensed to us from third parties on terms that do not permit redistribution. Extracting it is a breach of those licences as well as of these terms.
10. Disclaimers and liability
The site and its outputs are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. We do not warrant that any projection, ranking or recommendation will be accurate or profitable.
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the site or a subscription is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose, and (b) $50. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, including lost winnings, lost profits, or the outcome of any wager or league.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
11. Privacy
How we handle your data is set out at /privacy. In short: we collect what an account needs to work, we use aggregate analytics to see which pages are used, and we do not sell personal data.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. For a material change affecting a paid subscription we will email subscribers at least 30 days before it takes effect, and you may cancel before then if you do not accept it. The date at the top of this page shows when it last changed.
13. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts.
If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this clause does not remove any right you have to bring proceedings in your own country of residence where the law gives you that right.
