Terms of Service
Last updated: September 01, 2023
Welcome to flamingocricket.club - this website is owned and operated by Flamingo Cricket Club, a Public Benefit Corporation incorporated in Delaware, US.
By accessing this website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and our Privacy policy. These Terms apply to all users of the website, including browsers, vendors, customers, merchants, and or contributors of content. If you do not agree with the Terms, do not use the website or provide us with your information.
- When we say “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us” in this document, we are referring to Flamingo Cricket Club.
- When we say “Services”, we mean our websites, including fc.club, and any product or service created and maintained by Flamingo Cricket Club.
- When we say “You” or “your”, we are referring to the people, teams or organizations that own an account with one or more of our Services.
We may update these Terms and may do so without notice to you. Whenever we make a significant change to our policies, we will refresh the date at the top of this page and take any other appropriate steps to notify account holders.
When you use our Services, and or purchase any goods through the website, you are agreeing to the latest Terms. There may be times where we do not exercise or enforce a right or provision of the Terms; however, that does not mean we are waiving that right or provision. These Terms do contain a limitation of our liability. If you violate any of the Terms, we may terminate your account.
Via flamingocricket.club, Flamingo Cricket Club operates a membership service and online store. The terms and conditions most relevant to the supply of physical goods can be found in the Online Store section of these Terms.
Membership Accounts
- A Member is any individual who is paying recurring Subscription fees for a Flamingo Cricket Club Membership, for personal, non-commercial use.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Membership account and password. The Company cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this security obligation.
- You can manage all aspects of your Membership account's Subscription; including updating your billing information and cancelling your Membership account.
- You may not use the Services for any purpose outlined in our Use Restrictions policy.
- You are responsible for all content posted to and activity that occurs under your account, including content posted by and activity of any users in your account.
- You must notify us immediately upon becoming aware of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your Membership account.
- By purchasing products or Services you represent that you have reached the age of majority (which in most states is 18 years old) and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract. If you are under the age of majority or cannot lawfully enter into a contract, you must have your parent or guardian review these Terms and the Privacy Policy, and register or place an order on your behalf.
Payment, Refunds, and Plan Changes
- Our Membership service is billed on a subscription basis. Billing occurs at the beginning of the Membership cycle and provides access for one quarter or one year after that, as applicable.
- At the end of each Billing Cycle, your Subscription will automatically renew under the exact same conditions unless you cancel it or Flamingo Cricket Club cancels it. You may cancel your Subscription renewal either through your online account management page or by contacting Flamingo Cricket Club customer support team.
- A valid payment method, including credit card, is required to process the payment for your Subscription. You shall provide Flamingo Cricket Club with accurate and complete billing information including full name, address, telephone number, and a valid payment method information. By submitting such payment information, you automatically authorize Flamingo Cricket Club to charge all Subscription fees incurred through your account to any such payment instruments.
- If you are upgrading from a slog plan to a sweep plan, we will charge your card immediately and your billing cycle starts on the day of upgrade. For downgrades in plan level, the new rate starts from the next billing cycle.
- All fees are exclusive of all taxes, levies, or duties imposed by taxing authorities. Where required, we will collect those taxes on behalf of the taxing authority and remit those taxes to taxing authorities. Otherwise, you are responsible for payment of all taxes, levies, or duties.
- Should automatic billing fail to occur for any reason, Flamingo Cricket Club will issue an electronic invoice indicating that you must proceed manually, within a certain deadline date, with the full payment corresponding to the billing period as indicated on the invoice.
- We process Membership refunds according to our Membership refund policy.
Cancellation and Termination
- You are solely responsible for properly canceling your account. Within each of our Services, we provide a simple no-questions-asked cancellation link. You can find instructions for how to cancel your account in our Cancellation policy. An email or phone request to cancel your account is not automatically considered cancellation. If you need help canceling your account, you can always email us.
- All of your content will be inaccessible from the Services immediately upon account cancellation. Within 30 days, all content will be permanently deleted from active systems and logs. Within 60 days, all content will be permanently deleted from our backups. We cannot recover this information once it has been permanently deleted. If you want to export any data before your account is canceled please contact us for instructions.
- If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, your cancellation will take effect immediately, and you will not be charged again. We do not automatically prorate unused time in the last billing cycle. See our Fair Refund policy for more details.
- We have the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of our Services for any reason at any time. Suspension means you will not be able to access the account or any content in the account. Termination will furthermore result in the deletion of your account or your access to your account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all content in your account. We also reserve the right to refuse the use of the Services to anyone for any reason at any time. We have this clause because statistically speaking, out of the hundreds of thousands of accounts on our Services, there is at least one doing something nefarious. There are some things we staunchly stand against and this clause is how we exercise that stance. For more details, see our Use Restrictions policy.
- Verbal, physical, written or other abuse (including threats of abuse or retribution) of a Company employee or officer will result in immediate account termination.
Modifications to the Service and Prices
- Sometimes it becomes operationally impossible to continue a feature or we redesign a part of our Services because we think it could be better or we decide to close new signups of a product. We reserve the right at any time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, any part of our Services with or without notice.
- Flamingo Cricket Club, in its sole discretion and at any time, may change the pricing structure for our membership service. When we do that, we tend to exempt existing customers from those changes. However, we may choose to change the prices for existing customers. If we do so, we will give at least 90 days notice and will notify you via the email address on record. We may also post a notice about changes on our website.
Uptime, Security, and Privacy
- Your use of the Services is at your sole risk. We provide these Services on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
- We take many measures to protect and secure your data through backups, redundancies, and encryption. We enforce encryption for data transmission from the public Internet.
- When you use our Services, you entrust us with your data. We take that trust to heart. You agree that Flamingo Cricket Club may process your data as described in our Privacy policy and for no other purpose. We as humans can access your data for the following reasons:
- To help you with support requests you make. We’ll ask for express consent before accessing your account.
- On the rare occasions when an error occurs that stops an automated process partway through. We get automated alerts when such errors occur. When we can fix the issue and restart automated processing without looking at any personal data, we do. In rare cases, we have to look at a minimum amount of personal data to fix the issue. In these rare cases, we aim to fix the root cause to prevent the errors from recurring.
- To safeguard Flamingo Cricket Club. We’ll look at logs and metadata as part of our work to ensure the security of your data and the Services as a whole.
- To the extent required by applicable law. As a US company with all data infrastructure located in the US, we only preserve or share customer data if compelled by a US government authority with a legally binding order or proper request under the Stored Communications Act, or in limited circumstances in the event of an emergency request. If a non-US authority approaches Flamingo Cricket Cclub for assistance, our default stance is to refuse unless the order has been approved by the US government, which compels us to comply through procedures outlined in an established mutual legal assistance treaty or agreement mechanism. If Flamingo Cricket Club is audited by a tax authority, we only share the bare minimum billing information needed to complete the audit.
- We use third party software and hosting partners to provide the necessary hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology required to run the Services. You can see a list of all Processors who handle personal data for Flamingo Cricket Club Subprocessors.
- Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), Flamingo Cricket Club is a “service provider”, not a “business” or “third party”, with respect to your use of the Services. That means we process any data you share with us only for the purpose you signed up for and as described in these Terms, and the Privacy policy. We do not retain, use, disclose, or sell any of that information for any other commercial purposes unless we have your explicit permission. And on the flip-side, you agree to comply with your requirements under the CCPA and not use Flamingo Cricket Club’s Services in a way that violates the regulations.
- These Terms incorporate the Flamingo Cricket Club Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) when the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) or United Kingdom General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”) applies to your use of Flamingo Cricket Club Services to process Customer Data as defined in the DPA. The DPA linked above supersedes any previously agreed data processing addendum between you and Flamingo Cricket Club relating to your use of the Flamingo Cricket Club Services.
Copyright and Content Ownership
- All content posted on the Services must comply with U.S. copyright law.
- You give us a limited license to use the content posted by you in order to provide the Services to you, but we claim no ownership rights over those materials. All materials you submit to the Services remain yours.
- We do not pre-screen content, but we reserve the right (but not the obligation) in our sole discretion to refuse or remove any content that is available via the Service.
- You agree not to make available creations on the Service that infringe others’ intellectual property or proprietary rights. Flamingo Cricket Club reserves the right to remove creations and other material that violate Flamingo Cricket Club’s terms and policies. In accordance with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act and other applicable laws, we respond to compliant notifications of claimed copyright infringement and have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy for terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of members who are the subject of repeated compliant notifications of claimed copyright infringement or other evidence that suggests a pattern of repeat infringement. If you believe in good faith that materials posted on the Services infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Flamingo Cricket Club a “Notification of Claimed Infringement” requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked.
- The Company or its licensors own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including all intellectual property rights therein, and you obtain no ownership rights in the Services as a result of your use. You may not duplicate, copy, or reuse any portion of the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or visual design elements without express written permission from the Company. You must request permission to use the Company’s logos or any Service logos for promotional purposes. Please email us requests to use logos. We reserve the right to rescind any permissions if you violate these Terms.
- You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any portion of the Services, use of the Services, or access to the Services without the express written permission of the Company.
- We welcome your feedback on Flamingo Cricket Club products and Services, including any early-access, beta, or test features to which you’ve been given access, and your help in identifying any problems, bugs, and defects. You agree that any suggestions, comments, ideas, bug reports, or suggested improvements that you provide to us will be fully owned by us so that we can use them to improve Flamingo Cricket Club and thereby better help the community of members.
Community Guidelines
Flamingo Cricket Clubs connects cricket fans around the world. To make sure all of our members have a positive experience interacting on our website, we have Community Guidelines to outline what we do and do not allow on our website and Services.

Negative and distasteful comments are luckily few and far between - but rest assured we are here to help and step-in if the need arises.
Features and Bugs
We design our Services with care, based on our own experience and the experiences of customers who share their time and feedback. However, there is no such thing as a service that pleases everybody. We make no guarantees that our Services will meet your specific requirements or expectations.
We also test all of our features extensively before shipping them. As with any software, our Services inevitably have some bugs. We track the bugs reported to us and work through priority ones, especially any related to security or privacy. Not all reported bugs will get fixed and we don’t guarantee completely error-free Services.
COPPA
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") requires that online service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect personally identifiable information online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a child under 13, please do not attempt to register for the Services or send any personal information about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected personal information from a child under 13 (or under the age of 16 in certain jurisdictions, such as EU member countries), we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
US Economic Sanctions
You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you (i) are not located or residing in any country or territory subject to comprehensive US sanctions (currently Cuba, Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, and Syria); (ii) are not listed on any United States list of prohibited or restricted parties, such as OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Persons List, or otherwise subject to US sanctions that would prohibit your access to or use of the Service; and (iii) shall not use or allow access by any of your customers or potential customers (if applicable) to the Service in any manner that may cause Flamingo Cricket Club to violate US export controls and sanctions. We reserve the right to restrict or block your access to the Service and/or to terminate the Agreement at any time without notice if we determine, at our sole discretion, that such access may cause a violation or create unacceptable risk to us under export controls or sanctions.
