Terms of Service

Last Updated: January 18, 2026

Welcome to CourtOracle. By accessing or using our mobile application and web services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

1. Acceptance of Terms

1.1 Agreement to Terms

By creating an account, subscribing to our Service, or using any part of CourtOracle, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. This agreement constitutes a legally binding contract between you and CourtOracle.

1.2 Age Requirements and Parental Consent

CourtOracle welcomes tennis players of all ages, including junior players. However, different age groups have different requirements:

Users 18 and Older: If you are at least 18 years of age, you may use the Service independently by agreeing to these Terms.

Users Under 18: If you are under 18 years of age, you may only use the Service with the prior consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. By creating an account, you represent that your parent or legal guardian has reviewed these Terms and our Privacy Policy, consents to your use of the Service, and agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf. Your parent or legal guardian is responsible for your activities on the Service.

Parental Responsibility: Parents and legal guardians who consent to their child's use of the Service (for users under 18) agree to be bound by these Terms and are responsible for their child's activities on the Service. Parents have the right to review, modify, or delete their child's personal information and may contact us at any time at kadenhartleyyokota@gmail.com.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet the age requirements set forth above and have the legal capacity (or parental consent) to enter into this binding agreement.

1.3 Entity Users

If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization or entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and your agreement to these Terms will be treated as the agreement of the organization. In that event, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization.

2. Description of Service

CourtOracle is a tennis education application that provides personalized coaching insights through artificial intelligence. The Service provides:

• Voice-recorded session analysis
• AI-generated coaching responses in the "Expert Insights" section
• Performance tracking and analytics
• Goal setting and progress monitoring
• Access to curated tennis resources and training materials
• Video recommendations from video database repositories

3. Understanding of AI-Generated Content and Expert Insights

3.1 The Master Tennis Context Framework

The master tennis context framework constitutes the core technology underlying CourtOracle's service. This proprietary AI system enables accurate, personalized lesson delivery based solely on the spoken or written word of your journal entries, operating independently of video analysis. When you record or write about your tennis sessions, the master tennis context framework processes your goals, session history, playing style, physical profile, strengths, weaknesses, and past interactions to build a comprehensive understanding of you as a tennis player. The framework generates tailored coaching advice and lesson recommendations based on your specific needs, challenges, and development trajectory by combining your personal context with advanced tennis coaching principles to provide insights that are specifically relevant to your game. The framework interprets the meaning, context, and nuances of your spoken or written journal entries to understand what you're working on and what you need help with.

Your coaching insights are generated from your journal entries and personal context, not from analyzing videos. Video search results are provided as supplementary educational resources to complement the personalized coaching advice generated by the master tennis context framework.

3.2 Nature of Expert Insights

By using CourtOracle, you explicitly acknowledge, understand, and agree that the Service provides AI-generated coaching responses tailored to your specific questions. This advanced system selects expert perspectives to present in response to your queries. Every response in the "Expert Insights" section is generated by artificial intelligence and is specifically tailored to answer your questions based on your rich context history, past coaching sessions, goals, and personal tennis profile.

The names displayed in the Expert Insights section (such as "Sky Kim," "Essential Tennis," "Online Tennis Instruction," etc.) are not human coaches or players. The individuals or entities whose names may be referenced are not affiliated with, do not endorse, and have not authorized CourtOracle. We do not claim any partnership, sponsorship, or endorsement by any third parties. The responses provided are AI-generated coaching insights. They are not direct quotes, transcriptions, or statements from any human coaches or players. You understand and agree that nothing any AI coach says in the app can be held to be something a human coach or player actually said. The AI generates new content, not verbatim reproduction of any source.

The educational advice offered by the AI coaches in the Expert Insights section is based on the master tennis context framework that is separate from and more advanced than the search results returned to you in the form of suggested videos. The AI generates insights from your rich context history (including your goals, session history, playing style, physical profile, and past interactions) combined with its tennis knowledge to provide personalized coaching advice that goes beyond simple video search results.

3.3 Educational Purpose

CourtOracle's AI-generated coaching insights serve an educational purpose under U.S. law. Our AI models provide personalized, context-aware coaching responses through the master tennis context framework. This serves an educational purpose, namely providing individualized coaching advice based on your unique tennis profile and context derived from your journal entries. The Service may provide links to video database repositories as supplementary educational resources. We do not access private, restricted, or paid content.

The Service is designed for educational purposes, helping tennis players learn and improve their game through AI-generated insights based on your personal journal entries. CourtOracle does not replace or compete with videos or human coaching services. In fact, our responses may include direct links to videos, driving traffic and viewership to third parties. The AI generates original coaching content tailored to your specific needs. The AI does not store or reproduce videos or transcripts.

3.4 How the Service Works

CourtOracle's core functionality is powered by the master tennis context framework, which operates based on your journal entries rather than video analysis. When you record or write a journal entry and ask a question in CourtOracle, the master tennis context framework analyzes the spoken or written word of your journal entries to understand what happened in your session, what you're working on, and what challenges you're facing. The AI integrates your journal entry with your personal context (goals, session history, playing style, physical profile, past interactions, etc.) to build a comprehensive understanding of your needs.

Using the master tennis context framework, the AI generates a personalized coaching response that addresses your specific question based on your unique tennis profile and history derived from your journal entries. The AI may provide citations and links to relevant videos from video database repositories as supplementary educational resources to complement the personalized coaching advice. The AI-generated coaching advice is powered by the master tennis context framework. The framework enables accurate lesson delivery based on your journal entries, not on video analysis. Video search results are supplementary resources, not the source of your personalized coaching insights.
