1. About this service
First Down Central provides independent software for managing private fantasy football leagues. The service is presently in preproduction, offers both fictional demonstration leagues and delayed NFL weekly statistics sourced from nflverse under CC BY 4.0. It does not represent official live NFL scoring. Features and availability may change during testing.
2. Fees, wagers, and prizes
The platform currently does not accept paid entry fees, hold contest prize pools, facilitate wagers, pay cash or material prizes, or operate a sportsbook. A future fee for hosting league-management software would be a service charge, not a wager. Any future fee, contest or prize feature requires a separate compliance review and any needed payment-provider approvals.
3. Accounts and league administrators
Users are responsible for safeguarding their login credentials, their league content and their account activity. Commissioners control league settings, player transactions, draft schedules and competition formats. Members should review their private league's agreed rules before joining.
4. Fair play and respectful conduct
Users may not impersonate others, interfere with accounts, manipulate the platform, submit malicious content, harass fellow league members, or attempt unauthorized access. League messages and team names must respect applicable law and other users.
5. Data accuracy and operational limits
League rosters may use fictional demonstration data or delayed nflverse weekly open data. A live NFL game-score and play-by-play feed is connected for the NFL Game Center; league fantasy scoring and settlement may rely on separate delayed or reviewed data sources. Fantasy points and bracket results may be affected by missing statistics or incomplete lineups. Do not treat these demonstration results as official sports records.
6. Intellectual property and affiliation
This independent service is not sponsored, endorsed, operated or affiliated with the NFL, its member teams or the NFL Players Association. References to team and player names, if added later through appropriately authorized data, would be descriptive and would not imply endorsement. Official logos, player photographs and league marks are not provided in the present release.
7. Service availability and modifications
As a preproduction service, access can be changed, interrupted or withdrawn during testing. League data backups are maintained, but uninterrupted availability is not guaranteed. Users should keep exports of important league records.
8. Commercial launch review
These terms are a provisional project draft, not a substitute for a legally reviewed agreement. Before charging customers, the operator should finalize its legal identity, contact information, refund terms, jurisdiction-specific compliance, accessibility obligations and dispute-resolution procedures with qualified counsel.
