Terms of Service

1. Service Description

Vavio Sports is a sports content discovery platform that aggregates publicly available content from YouTube, podcast RSS feeds, and news publisher RSS feeds. We help fans find what top sports talk shows and writers are saying about the teams, players, coaches, events, and storylines they follow.

• YouTube videos are displayed through YouTube's official embedded player. We do not host, download, or re-distribute video content.
• Podcast episodes link to original audio URLs provided by podcast publishers through their RSS feeds.
• News articles link out to the original article on the publisher's website. We show the headline and a short, AI-generated summary; the full article remains on the publisher's site.
• We are a content discovery and aggregation service, not a content host.

2. Premium Subscriptions

Vavio Sports offers an optional premium subscription that unlocks additional features such as publisher filtering, source starring, saved filter combinations, custom alerts, and real-time push notifications. The core content — videos, podcasts, articles, segments, and summaries — remains free for all users. Premium unlocks tools and features, not access to content.

• Pricing and billing. Premium is offered as a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Pricing is shown in the app at the point of purchase and may vary by region and over time. Subscriptions are processed through the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or, on the web, through our payment processor (RevenueCat and Stripe). We never receive or store your payment card details.
• Free trial. If a free trial is offered, it automatically converts to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.
• Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple App Store or Google Play account settings, or from the Subscription page in the app. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep premium access until then.
• Refunds. Purchases made through the App Store or Play Store are subject to the refund policies of Apple or Google, respectively, which control the transaction. Refunds for web purchases are handled in accordance with applicable law.
• Price changes. We may change subscription pricing. Any price change applies only to future billing periods and, where required, will be communicated to you in advance with the option to cancel.

3. AI-Generated Content Disclaimer

Vavio Sports uses automated systems to analyze content and extract topic segments. The following are generated by AI and should be understood as such:

• Timestamp segments and topic labels displayed alongside videos and podcasts
• Short summaries of news articles
• Team relevance classifications and content tags
• Short excerpt quotes attributed to specific segments

These AI-detected topics and summaries are provided for convenience and may not perfectly reflect the creator's intent, framing, or the complete content of the original video, podcast, or article. They are not manually created or endorsed by the original content creators or publishers.

4. Content Ownership

All video, podcast, and news content displayed on Vavio Sports belongs to its respective creators, publishers, and rights holders. Vavio Sports does not claim ownership of any third-party content. Our service provides links, embeds, summaries, and metadata to help you discover content — the content itself remains on YouTube, podcast hosting platforms, news publishers' websites, and other original sources.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or data
• Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the Service without permission
• Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure

• Use the Service to distribute spam, malware, or harmful content

6. No Warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that:

• Content displayed is accurate, complete, or up-to-date
• AI-generated segments and classifications are error-free
• The Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors
• All relevant content from every source will be discovered and displayed

7. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vavio Sports and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:

• Your use of or inability to use the Service
• Any content obtained from the Service

8. Third-Party Services

Vavio Sports integrates with third-party services including YouTube, podcast platforms, and news publishers. Your use of these services through Vavio Sports is subject to their respective terms. When you follow a link to a publisher's website — including a paywalled publisher — your use of that site is governed by that publisher's own terms and any subscription requirements.

• YouTube Terms of Service
