Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Pitch Scout (the “Service”), operated by GRIT Digital Media LLC (“GRIT,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

These Terms describe how we offer the software today. They are not a license from Major League Baseball, and they are not legal advice.

1. What Pitch Scout Is

Pitch Scout is an independent scouting workflow for pitchers and coaches. It helps you save a pitching profile, review opposing batters or your own pitch chart (Self Scout), apply filters, take notes, and open publicly available pitch context.

The Service is a software interface. It is not an official MLB product, not a licensed video room, and not a reseller of Statcast datasets or broadcast footage.

Intended use is personal, educational, research, and coaching preparation. MLBAM’s published materials notice generally allows only individual, non-commercial, non-bulk use of MLB data without prior written authorization. If you need commercial redistribution, club-wide deployment, or a paid data product, you must obtain rights from MLB / MLBAM — we do not grant those rights.

2. No Affiliation With MLB

Pitch Scout is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially connected to Major League Baseball, MLB Advanced Media, L.P., any MLB or MiLB club, Baseball Savant, Statcast, or related marks. Names, logos, and player images are used only to identify public players and clubs. All such marks remain the property of their owners.

3. Eligibility And Accounts

• You must be at least 16 years old.
• You must provide accurate account information and keep credentials secure. Authentication is provided by Clerk.
• You are responsible for activity under your account.

4. License To Use The Service

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service for your own lawful personal, coaching, or research preparation.

You may not:

• Scrape, bulk-download, mirror, or systematically extract data from the Service to build a competing database or to resell pitch-level or video content;
• Bypass rate limits, authentication, or technical protections;
• Use the Service in a way that suggests MLB endorsement or official status;
• Use the Service for unlawful, harassing, or abusive purposes;
• Reverse engineer the Service except where such restriction is prohibited by law.

5. Third-Party Data And Video

Charts request information on demand from public MLB statistics endpoints and Baseball Savant / Statcast. Those sources are operated by third parties. Availability, accuracy, and permitted use are controlled by their terms, not by GRIT.

• We do not warehouse full-season Statcast for resale. Fetches are on-demand and may fail, throttle, or change without notice.
• Pitch clips are not hosted by Pitch Scout. When a clip exists, we deep-link you to Baseball Savant. Footage and related rights belong to MLB, clubs, and their licensors. Your viewing is under those parties’ terms.
• Logos and headshots load from MLB’s public CDN. We do not claim ownership of those images.

6. Your Content

You retain ownership of pitching profiles and batter notes you create. You grant us a limited license to store and process that content solely to operate the Service for you.

Notes must not include harassment, illegal content, or sensitive personal data about others (for example medical or contact information). We may remove content that violates these Terms.

7. Paid Features

Paid plans may be offered later. If they are enabled, pricing, trial length, and cancellation will be shown at checkout. Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law. Stripe may process payments. We do not store full card numbers.

Turning on paid access does not, by itself, create an MLB commercial data license.

8. Professional-Use Disclaimer

The Service is a preparation aid. It is not a substitute for official club systems, licensed video platforms, medical advice, or professional instruction. You are solely responsible for competitive decisions you make.

9. Intellectual Property

The Service’s software, design, and original copy (excluding third-party data and marks) are owned by GRIT or its licensors. These Terms do not transfer MLB or third-party IP to you or to us. Copyright notices: Copyright.

10. Disclaimer Of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ACCURACY OR AVAILABILITY OF THIRD-PARTY DATA OR VIDEO.

11. Limitation Of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GRIT AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR RELIANCE ON ANY INFORMATION DISPLAYED.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless GRIT from claims arising out of your misuse of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of third-party rights in how you use information obtained through the Service.

13. Suspension And Termination

We may suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms, if required by law, or if third-party dependencies make continued operation impractical. You may stop using the Service at any time. Account deletion requests: see our Privacy Policy.

14. Changes

We may update these Terms. We will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, may provide additional notice in the Service. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina will have exclusive jurisdiction, except where applicable law requires otherwise.
