Terms and Conditions of Use

The BackGames.org Backgammon Club Database System is an online resource for backgammon club directors to manage tournament data, player standings and statistics, and other related club information.

Please read this agreement carefully before using the database program.

Acceptance of Terms

By using the BackGames.org database program, you agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the program.

BackGames.org reserves the right to modify, add, or remove portions of these terms and conditions at any time. Unless specified otherwise, such modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting of the modified agreement to the website. Your continued use of the program following the posting will mean that you accept those changes.

Description of Services

The database program is accessed online through a web browser. You enter your club information, player information, and tournament results which are then stored in a common database on the BackGames.org server. When club data has been added to the database, club standings, player statistics, and other club information can be viewed as web pages on the internet. These pages can then be linked from your club website.

BackGames.org reserves the right to enhance, modify, add, or discontinue any of the services provided at any time without advance notice.

Director Registration

Backgammon club and tournament directors who use the program must personally provide accurate, current, and complete information when requested on any club information or registration forms. Registered users will receive login and password access to the database program. Users can change their login and password at any time and are personally responsible for the confidentiality of passwords. If you suspect someone else has unauthorized access to your club account, you should change your login and password immediately.

Acceptable Use

The database program is intended for use by bona fide backgammon club or tournament directors to manage actual player and tournament data. Any attempt to skew standings or statistics with bogus player or tournament data, or to use the program for any reason other than the intended, will be considered a violation of acceptable use. Any such violation will result in the immediate termination of user access to the program and any offending data will be purged from the database.

Privacy Policy

BackGames.org will not sell, share, or rent any personal information contained in the database. Personal player information (address, email, phone numbers) will be accessible only to the director who entered the data. The only player data that is shared between directors is the player's name, city, state, country, and home club.

Other club information including the director's name, email address, club venues, meeting times, etc., may be made available to the backgammon community in an online club directory on the BackGames.org site.

When you login to the database program, browser cookies are stored on your computer to insure that access to the database is restricted to the user who logged in. Cookies are not used for any other purpose, nefarious or otherwise. You must enable cookies in your browser in order to login to the program.

Data Storage and Backup

While BackGames.org will use reasonable efforts to back up the site and program data at regular intervals and make such data available in the event of loss or deletion, BackGames.org assumes no responsibility or liability for the deletion or loss of any user data.
