Terms of Service & Liability Waiver
Effective June 11, 2026. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Liberty Prime Robotics LLC, a limited liability company doing business as ("DBA") Gladiator Sports ("Gladiator Sports," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account on, accessing, or using the gladiatorsports.club website, the Gladiator Sports application, or any related service — including registering for or participating in a tournament (together, the "Service") — you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
1. Eligibility & Accounts
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Users who are 13 to 17 years old (minors) may use the Service only with the verifiable consent of a parent or legal guardian who completes and electronically signs the Parent/Guardian Consent, Release and Waiver of Liability (available on our waiver page). Minors may be listed on a tournament roster only with that signed waiver, and accounts held by minors cannot pay entry fees — an adult (a parent/guardian or an adult team captain) completes paid registration. We do not knowingly permit children under 13 to register; if you are under 13, do not use the Service. You are responsible for safeguarding your credentials and for all activity under your account, and you agree the information you register — including your legal name, date of birth, state of residence, and gaming usernames — is accurate. Misrepresenting your age, identity, or state of residence is grounds for disqualification and forfeiture of fees and prizes.
2. Assumption of Risk
Competitive activity is inherently demanding, and athletic activity is inherently dangerous. Gladiator Sports organizes, lists, and facilitates competitive esports and sports events, tournaments, and brackets, both online and in person. You understand and voluntarily accept that participation in or attendance at any activity discovered, organized, scheduled, or facilitated through the Service involves risk — for in-person activities, risk of serious bodily injury, permanent disability, paralysis, communicable disease, property loss, and death, whether caused by your own actions, the actions of others, the condition of a venue, or otherwise. You knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, and assume full responsibility for your participation.
3. Release & Waiver of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you, on behalf of yourself and your heirs, assigns, and next of kin, RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, and COVENANT NOT TO SUE Liberty Prime Robotics LLC, its DBA Gladiator Sports, and their respective members, managers, officers, employees, agents, contractors, sponsors, and affiliates (the "Released Parties") from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury that may be sustained by you, or to any property belonging to you, while participating in any activity facilitated by the Service. You acknowledge that some jurisdictions do not allow the release of liability for gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts, and nothing in these Terms waives any right that cannot be waived under applicable law.
4. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claim, liability, loss, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your participation in any activity, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party.
5. Tournaments, Entry Fees, Payments & Prizes
Where the Service offers paid entry, prizes, or contests, the posted tournament rules (including the schedule, format, field size, and prize structure shown at registration) apply and are incorporated by reference. Entry fees are charged at the price displayed at checkout and are processed by Stripe on its secure payment pages — we never receive or store your card details. Unless the posted rules say otherwise: (a) the champion team receives 70% of the collected entry-fee pot for its tier, split evenly among its rostered players; (b) advertised jackpots assume a full field, and the actual prize is computed from actual paid entries; and (c) if a tournament cannot field a playable bracket, is canceled by us, or a solo entrant cannot be placed on a squad, the related entry fee is refunded in full. Entry fees are otherwise non-refundable once the bracket is drawn. Contests are void where prohibited and subject to all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including those governing games of skill; cash-prize play is not available in every state (the current list appears in the site footer and at registration). Gladiator Sports is not a sportsbook and does not facilitate wagering. All fees and any tax obligations on prizes are the responsibility of the participant unless stated otherwise in the posted rules.
6. Prize Distribution, Payouts & Payer of Record
Prizes are paid through Stripe to the recipient's connected payout account (set up on your account page). Where prize funds for a team are paid to the team owner or captain, the platform processes any splits solely as a payment facilitator acting on the owner's behalf; the team owner is the payer of record for tax purposes and is responsible for any required tax reporting to team members. We may require a completed IRS Form W-9 from a payee before processing payouts once applicable reporting thresholds are reached. Prize money owed to a minor is paid to the minor's parent or legal guardian.
7. User Conduct & Fair Play
You agree not to: (a) harass, threaten, or harm other users; (b) submit false information or impersonate any person, including registering gaming accounts you do not control; (c) cheat, use unauthorized assistance, share accounts mid-event, or otherwise compromise competitive integrity; (d) upload unlawful, infringing, or abusive content, including offensive team names; (e) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service; or (f) use the Service in violation of any law. We may disqualify entries and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, with forfeiture of fees and prizes for material competitive-integrity violations.
8. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, trademarks (including the Gladiator Sports name and "Underworld to Olympus" mark), and content, is owned by Liberty Prime Robotics LLC or its licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Service for its intended purpose. You retain ownership of content you submit but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host and display it as needed to operate the Service (for example, showing your team name and results on brackets). Rocket League is a trademark of its respective owner; Gladiator Sports events are community tournaments not affiliated with or endorsed by the game's publisher.
9. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that game servers or platform networks will be available, or vouch for the conduct, safety, or qualifications of any user, team, organizer, or venue.
10. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS OR DATA. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.
11. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY — IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. Except for claims that may be brought in small-claims court, you and Gladiator Sports agree to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through final and binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider, under its consumer rules. YOU AND GLADIATOR SPORTS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by sending written notice to libertyprimerobotics@gmail.com. This Section is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. If the class-action waiver is found unenforceable, the remainder of this Section will likewise be unenforceable. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking public injunctive relief to the extent it cannot be waived under applicable law (including California law).
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 11. For users who are California residents, nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable right under California law.
13. California Notice (Civ. Code § 1789.3)
California residents may reach the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210. See our Privacy Policy for your California privacy rights under the CCPA/CPRA.
14. Changes; Termination; Miscellaneous
We may update these Terms; material changes will be notified on the Service or by email, and continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance. We may suspend or terminate the Service or your access at any time as permitted by law. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, the Parent/Guardian Consent and Waiver, and any posted tournament rules, constitute the entire agreement between you and Gladiator Sports.
