By downloading, installing, or using the PickLock mobile application ("App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.
These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and PickLock ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
You must be at least 18 years of age to use PickLock. By using the App, you represent and warrant that:
- You are at least 18 years old;
- You have the legal authority to enter into these Terms;
- Your use of the App does not violate any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction;
- You are not located in a jurisdiction where participation in skill-based fantasy sports contests is prohibited.
We reserve the right to terminate your account if we have reason to believe you do not meet these eligibility requirements.
PickLock is a skill-based fantasy sports pick-em application designed for friend leagues. PICKLOCK DOES NOT INVOLVE REAL MONEY WAGERING OF ANY KIND. Specifically:
- All points, scores, and standings within PickLock are virtual and have no monetary value;
- No real currency is wagered, won, or lost through gameplay;
- PickLock is not a sportsbook, casino, gambling platform, or daily fantasy sports (DFS) contest provider offering cash prizes;
- PickLock does not facilitate, enable, or encourage illegal gambling in any jurisdiction.
PickLock operates as a skill-based game consistent with the fantasy sports exemption under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), 31 U.S.C. § 5362(1)(E)(ix), as outcomes are determined by the accumulated statistical results of the performance of multiple real-world athletes across multiple real-world sporting events.
If you reside in a jurisdiction that restricts or prohibits skill-based fantasy sports applications, it is your sole responsibility to determine whether your use of PickLock is lawful. We make no representation that PickLock is appropriate or legal for use in all locations.
To use PickLock, you must create an account by providing a valid email address and choosing a username. You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information and to keep your account information updated.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:
- Use a strong, unique password;
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account;
- Not share your login credentials with any third party.
We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these security obligations.
Each user may maintain only one account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent suspensions, bans, or league restrictions is prohibited and may result in permanent termination of all associated accounts.
Users may create private leagues ("Leagues") and invite other users to participate. The user who creates a League is designated the "Commissioner" and has administrative authority over that League, including the ability to invite members, set league rules, and grade picks.
Each week, users submit picks across five bet-type slots: Moneyline, Prop, Over/Under, Spread, and Longshot. Picks are locked at the deadline set by the Commissioner or the App. Late submissions may not be accepted.
Points are calculated based on the odds associated with each pick and a user-selected multiplier. All point values are virtual and carry no monetary worth. PickLock does not guarantee the accuracy of odds data sourced from third-party providers.
Commissioners are responsible for grading picks and managing their Leagues. PickLock is not responsible for disputes arising from Commissioner decisions. We reserve the right to intervene in the event of abuse of Commissioner privileges.
PickLock offers an optional paid subscription ("PickLock Pro") that unlocks additional software features, including expanded pick slots, custom league settings, multi-sport leagues, power-ups, advanced analytics, and AI-assisted insights.
PickLock Pro is a subscription to software features only. It does not purchase points, improve your odds of winning, confer any advantage in scoring or grading, or provide anything of monetary value. Nothing in a paid plan alters Section 3 of these Terms.
Subscription plans are offered on a monthly and annual basis. Current prices are displayed in the App at the time of purchase and may vary by platform, region, and currency.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period until cancelled. Your payment method is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the then-current price for the plan you selected.
You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you retain access to paid features until that date. We do not provide partial-period refunds except where required by law.
If you subscribe within our iOS application, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Auto-renewal may be turned off by going to your Apple Account settings after purchase; it must be turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period to avoid being charged for the next period.
Purchases made through the App Store are transactions with Apple and are additionally governed by Apple’s Media Services Terms and Conditions. Billing, cancellation, and refunds for those purchases are administered by Apple. We are not able to issue refunds for App Store purchases; refund requests must be submitted to Apple directly.
If you subscribe through picklockapp.com, payment is processed by our third-party payment processor. We do not collect or store your full payment card details. You may view invoices, update your payment method, or cancel through the billing portal linked in your account settings.
Refunds for purchases made through our website are handled at our discretion, except where a refund is required by applicable law.
We may offer one-time, non-subscription purchases, such as unlocking an individual League. One-time purchases are final and non-refundable except where required by law or, for App Store purchases, where granted by Apple.
We may change subscription prices. Any price change will apply only to billing periods beginning after we provide notice, and where required will not take effect until you consent to the new price. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before the change takes effect.
We may offer promotional pricing, trials, or complimentary access at our discretion. Promotional terms are disclosed at the time of the offer, and unless stated otherwise, promotional access converts to a paid subscription at the standard price when the promotional period ends.
You agree not to:
- Use the App for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations;
- Attempt to wager real money or exchange points for monetary value through any means;
- Create or participate in leagues for the purpose of circumventing gambling laws;
- Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity;
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any portion of the App or its related systems;
- Introduce any virus, malware, or other harmful code into the App;
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the App without our prior written consent;
- Use automated scripts or bots to interact with the App;
- Engage in any conduct that restricts or inhibits any other user from using or enjoying the App;
- Post or transmit any content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or otherwise objectionable;
- Attempt to manipulate pick outcomes, standings, or scores through any fraudulent means.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access to the App at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including but not limited to your violation of these Terms.
Upon termination, your right to use the App will immediately cease. All provisions of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, and limitations of liability.
You may delete your account at any time by contacting us or using the account deletion feature within the App. Upon deletion, your data will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the App that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in New Jersey. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms and, where appropriate, by providing additional notice (such as an in-app notification or email).
Your continued use of the App after any changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must discontinue use of the App.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and PickLock regarding the App and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.
