Advertiser Agreement
Terms governing the purchase, printing, and display of your advertisement through Curveball Critiques LLC.
Version v1.0 · Effective May 2026
By checking the "I Agree" box, clicking "Complete Purchase," or utilizing the Field Marketplace to purchase advertising space on CurveballCritiques.com, you (the "Advertiser") agree to the following terms and conditions governing the purchase, printing, and display of your advertisement.
1. Role of the Platform
Curveball Critiques LLC (the "Platform") acts solely as a digital broker and fulfillment facilitator. We connect advertisers with available physical and digital advertising inventory at third-party sports facilities. We process your payment and automate the printing and shipping of the physical signage. We do not own the facilities, nor do we perform the physical installation of the signs.
2. Artwork Submission and Content Standards
The Advertiser is responsible for uploading high-resolution artwork that meets the exact specifications outlined during checkout. To comply with community and scholastic standards, the following content is strictly prohibited:
- Tobacco, vaping, or alcohol products.
- Gambling, sports betting, or lotteries.
- Adult-oriented products or services.
- Political campaigns, messaging, or controversial social issues.
- Profanity, hate speech, or offensive imagery.
3. Facility Approval and Veto Power
All physical advertising inventory is located on property controlled by independent municipalities, school districts, or private owners (the "Facility Partner"). The Facility Partner holds the absolute right of final approval for all artwork.
Upon purchase, your artwork will be submitted to the Facility Partner for review. If the Facility Partner rejects your artwork for any reason, your order will be canceled, and a full refund will be issued to your original payment method.
4. Printing, Fulfillment, and Installation
Once the Facility Partner approves your artwork, the sale is considered final. The Platform will automatically route your approved artwork to a third-party commercial printer for manufacturing and direct shipping to the Facility. The Facility Partner is exclusively responsible for the physical installation of the banner. While installation is typically completed within 14 days of delivery, the Platform does not guarantee an exact installation date and is not liable for installation delays caused by the Facility Partner.
5. Campaign Duration, Maintenance, and Force Majeure
Campaign durations (e.g., "Spring Season," "Full Year") are estimates based on the local athletic schedule. No Guarantees on Impressions: The Platform does not guarantee specific foot traffic, game attendance, or visibility metrics.
- Damage and Weather: The Platform is not responsible for repairing or replacing banners damaged by severe weather, vandalism, or acts of God.
- Cancellations: The Platform provides no prorated refunds if the Facility's sports season is shortened, delayed, or canceled due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., pandemics, weather, municipality closures).
6. Renewals
For seasonal or annual ad placements, the Advertiser will receive an automated renewal notice via email sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the campaign term. The Advertiser will have the first right of refusal to renew the placement before the inventory is released back to the public marketplace.
7. Intellectual Property
The Advertiser warrants and represents that they own, or have the legal right and license to use, all trademarks, logos, and imagery uploaded for printing. The Advertiser grants the Platform and the print manufacturer a limited, non-exclusive license to reproduce the artwork solely for the purpose of fulfilling this order and displaying the advertisement.
8. Limitation of Liability
Because banners are custom-printed on demand, no refunds will be issued once the artwork has been approved by the Facility Partner and sent to the printer. The Advertiser agrees to hold Curveball Critiques LLC harmless from any claims, lost profits, or damages arising from the display, delay, or removal of the advertisement.
