Magic Lineup
Terms of Use
Last updated: November 11, 2026
What changed: added parent-invited player accounts for ages 13 and older, their assignment-only access, and account deletion. The AI connector now has five days of card-free access from first use, followed by a Lineup Pro requirement. This evaluation does not create a subscription. Connector web checkout starts a paid subscription immediately; subscription trial offers are separate.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Parent-AI LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). They cover Magic Lineup, also called Lineup (the "app"), this website, and the connection that lets an AI assistant work with your Lineup account. By using the app, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the app.
1. The Service
Lineup helps youth sports coaches track player minutes, run fair playing-time rotations, plan and run practices, and share the season with parents. Coaching a team in the app is free. Some features need a Lineup Pro subscription (formerly called Parent Pro), described in section 3.
2. Who Can Use Lineup
- Coaches, assistant coaches, and parents or guardians must be 18 or older to use an adult account.
- Players who are 13 or older may use a separate player account after an invitation from their linked parent or guardian. Player accounts are limited to their own assignments and training sessions. They cannot use coach or parent features, buy subscriptions, or connect AI apps.
- Players under 13 must not create or use an account. Their parent or guardian can view assignments and log sessions on their behalf using the adult's own account. If you believe an account is being used by someone under 13, contact privacy@parent-ai.com.
3. Lineup Pro Subscriptions
Subscriptions are for adult coach and parent accounts. Player accounts do not need a subscription and cannot purchase one.
- The plans. Lineup Pro is an auto-renewing subscription with two plans: Lineup Pro Monthly, which renews every month at US$3.99 per month, and Lineup Pro Yearly, which renews every year at US$26.99 per year. These are US App Store prices; Apple sets local storefront prices. When web checkout is offered, its displayed price, currency, billing interval, and any taxes apply to that web purchase. Review the final confirmation screen before subscribing.
- What it includes. For a parent, Lineup Pro unlocks a read-only view of the whole team: every player's minutes, the live game board, stats and final scores, on every team you follow. It also lets an AI assistant you connect read that same view (section 7). For a coach, it adds AI practice and game planning, animated drill plans, and deeper statistics analysis. All AI connector use requires Pro after the five-day evaluation (section 7). Coaching a team stays free without it. One subscription covers every team on your account. Assistant coaches and other parents need their own.
- Apple free trial. Eligible new Apple subscribers get a 7-day free trial. Apple allows one free trial of Lineup Pro per Apple Account, whichever plan you pick. If you don't cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged the price of the plan you chose. Apple determines eligibility for its offer separately from web checkout.
- Connector free access. Your account gets five consecutive days (120 hours) of AI connector access starting with its first authenticated tool call, within your existing team roles and permissions. No payment method or subscription setup is required, no subscription is created, and there is no automatic charge when these days end. Reconnecting or using another AI app does not restart the period. Afterward all team-data connector tasks require active Lineup Pro. Your account/access diagnostic remains available with a payment webpage link. This does not unlock Pro in the mobile app or use a subscription provider’s free-trial offer.
- Web free trial. Separate account subscription checkout may offer eligible accounts a 7-day trial through Stripe. Connector checkout does not include this offer: it starts a paid subscription immediately, after you confirm the displayed terms. A payment method is required. Trial eligibility is limited per Lineup account and considers previous subscription history; creating another connection does not reset eligibility. An abandoned checkout does not use a trial; once a trial has actually started, reconnecting or starting a new checkout does not create another trial. Checkout confirms whether a trial applies, its end date, the renewal price, currency, billing interval, and any taxes before you subscribe. Unless you cancel before the trial ends, your chosen paid subscription starts automatically. If you are not eligible, checkout shows the paid terms instead. Apple controls its own offer eligibility; a web offer does not guarantee an Apple trial.
- Payment and renewal. You can buy Lineup Pro inside the iPhone app through Apple. You can also buy a web subscription through Stripe from the secure payment webpage after signing in to your Lineup account. Android has no in-app purchase flow. For Apple purchases, payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or when your free trial ends. The subscription renews automatically for the same length and price unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your Apple Account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the current period ends.
- Web renewal. A web subscription renews automatically at the interval and price shown at checkout until cancelled. Payment is collected by Stripe. Access is activated after payment and subscription status are confirmed by our servers; a checkout redirect alone does not activate access.
- Managing and cancelling. For Apple subscriptions, you can manage or cancel at any time on your iPhone in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions, or from the app at Settings → Lineup Pro. Cancelling stops the next renewal, and you keep Lineup Pro until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app never cancels a subscription. Deleting your Lineup account does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it with Apple. For a Stripe web subscription, account deletion requests cancellation before your account data is removed. If that cancellation fails, account deletion does not complete; resolve the billing issue and retry. Cancel through the provider that billed you. For a Stripe web subscription, sign in at the payment webpage and choose Manage web subscription to open the Stripe billing portal. You do not need to create or reconnect an AI connection. You can also email coach@lineup.parent-ai.com to request cancellation before your next renewal. Apple subscription settings do not cancel Stripe subscriptions.
- Billing and refunds. Apple handles Apple-purchase billing, renewals and refunds. We do not receive your full card number. To ask for a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com. If Apple refunds a purchase, the Lineup Pro access it paid for ends. Stripe processes web payments on our behalf; for web billing or refund questions, email coach@lineup.parent-ai.com. Any mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
- Which account it belongs to. You need to be signed in to subscribe. Lineup Pro belongs to the Lineup account you were signed in to when you bought it. Restore Purchases brings it back to that same account, for example on a new phone. It can't be moved to a different Lineup account.
- Test purchases. A purchase made in a TestFlight beta build is an Apple test purchase. It costs nothing, and the Lineup Pro access it gives lasts only a short time (currently up to 24 hours).
- Apple's terms. Your use of the app is also covered by Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement. Where these Terms and Apple's EULA conflict, Apple's EULA controls.
4. Accounts
- Adults can use local coaching features without an account, and that data stays only on the phone. To back up and sync data, join a team, connect an AI assistant or subscribe, sign in with Apple or Google where offered. Players sign in with their own Apple or Google account in the app or player website, then accept their parent's invitation. We don't offer a separate username and password.
- Each account is for one person. Don't share your account or let someone else use it. You are responsible for what happens on your account, including what an AI assistant you connect does with it.
- If you're a coach, you're responsible for the accuracy of the rosters and game data you enter, and for having the right to enter information about the children on your team (for example, as their coach with your league's or club's permission, or as their parent).
- If you're a parent, link yourself only to your own child or a child you are the guardian of. Coaches can see who is linked to each player and can remove a link.
- Invite a player only if you are their parent or guardian and they are 13 or older. You confirm this when creating the invitation; the player also confirms their age range before connecting. Do not share your adult sign-in with your child. A linked parent can disconnect player access. Disconnecting does not delete the training sessions already recorded for the team.
- Player sessions and notes are visible to the player's linked parents or guardians and team coaches. Players see only their own assignments and history, and can undo only sessions they entered. A linked parent can also undo the child's session.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the app for anything illegal or to harass, harm, or misrepresent any person
- Enter more roster or training information about a child than coaching needs. A first name or initials and a jersey number are enough to tell players apart. Don't enter a child's contact details, home address, school, date of birth, or medical or health details into rosters or notes, beyond a short availability note such as "out this week"
- Link yourself to a child who isn't yours, or join a team in a role you don't hold
- Try to reach another team's or another person's data without permission, or get around the app's limits on who can see what
- Reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the app or its infrastructure
6. Content You Share
When you use the app to create game stories, rotation summaries, or minutes-played data and share it with parents, you're responsible for what you share and for making sure it's accurate. That includes anything an AI assistant wrote for you. We don't review or moderate this content before it's shared.
7. Connected AI Apps
Adults can connect an outside AI assistant, such as Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI), to their Lineup account. Player accounts cannot connect an AI app. Connecting is always your choice. Your first five days (120 hours) of connector access are free with no card or subscription setup, starting on your first authenticated tool call. Afterward, all team-data connector tasks require active Lineup Pro. Your role, team access, and approved permissions still apply.
- How connecting works. You connect with a one-time pairing code from Settings → AI apps in the app, and you review the requested permissions and approve the connection on the secure consent page. If an additional in-app approval is requested, complete it there too. Never share a pairing code with anyone, including someone who says they're from Lineup. If you get an Allow request you didn't start, tap Deny.
- What it can see. The same team information your own account can see in the app. That includes children's names, jersey numbers, minutes, stats and attendance, and, for a coach, your coach notes, practice notes and plans. Before you connect, decide whether you're comfortable sharing that with the company behind the assistant, and follow any rules your league or club has about player information. The assistant is never given other members' contact details, invite codes, or your billing details.
- What it can do. If you're a coach and you allow it on the consent screen, it can save practice plans and game plans, and add games, practices and players. Games, practices and players it adds appear on your team straight away, just as if you'd added them yourself, so the other coaches and parents on the team can see them. A plan does nothing on its own: a practice plan runs only when you tap Run practice, and a planned substitution happens only when you tap Commit. With approved schedule permissions, it can remove practices. It cannot run a game or change recorded game history. For a parent, a connection is read-only.
- Your responsibility. You are responsible for what you ask the assistant to do, and for checking anything it writes before you use it, including whether a plan is safe and suits your players' ages and abilities. AI output can be wrong. A plan from an assistant is a suggestion. It is not coaching, medical or safety advice from us, and we don't guarantee it.
- Their terms apply too. The assistant is provided by another company under its own terms and privacy policy, which govern what happens to information once it reaches that service. We don't control it. Our Privacy Policy (section 7, Connected AI Apps) explains what is shared and why.
- Disconnecting. You can disconnect at any time from Settings → AI apps, and the assistant loses access from its next request. Removing Lineup inside Claude or ChatGPT alone doesn't end the connection on our side, so disconnect in the app to be sure.
- If Lineup Pro ends. If your five-day evaluation has also ended, all team-data connector tasks pause until Pro is active again. The connector provides a secure payment webpage link. You do not need to reconnect to resume after subscribing.
- We may limit, suspend or end a connected app's access if it misuses the service or to protect your team.
8. Communications
We send push notifications and emails related to the service: game reminders, co-coach activity, requests to approve an AI connection, reminders if you haven't opened the app in a while, and occasional product announcements. You can turn off push notifications in your phone's settings and unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any email. We may still send account, security or billing notices. See our Privacy Policy for details.
9. No Warranty
Lineup is provided "as is" and "as available." We work to keep it reliable, but we don't guarantee it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fit for any particular purpose, and the same goes for anything a connected AI assistant writes. Don't rely on the app as your only record of game or player information, and don't let it replace your own judgment about the safety of the children you coach.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Parent-AI LLC isn't liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the app. Our total liability to you for any claim related to the app is limited to the amount you paid for Lineup Pro in the 12 months before the claim, if any. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
11. Termination
You can stop using the app and delete your account from Settings → Delete Account for adult accounts, from Delete my account on the player's My assignments screen, from Delete account on the signed-in player website, or as described on our Delete Your Account page. Deleting a player account removes its sign-in and access; team training history may remain without that account attached. Deleting your account also disconnects any AI assistants. Apple subscriptions must be cancelled separately with Apple (section 3). For Stripe web subscriptions, we cancel recurring billing before completing account deletion. If cancellation fails, deletion stops so you can resolve the issue and retry. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or misuse the service. If your account is terminated, your data is deleted according to our Privacy Policy.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date above and say what changed. If a change significantly affects Lineup Pro or connected AI apps, we'll also let you know in the app or by email. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
13. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Parent-AI LLC is a Washington limited liability company.
