2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Office-Pools.com provides users with a web-based software application for creating and managing sports and events pools, including but not limited to, professional football, college football, college basketball, and auto racing. NCS reserves the right to alter its supported events, as well as the mechanisms in which users are ranked at any time. The use of Office-Pools.com's services is intended for entertainment purposes only. NCS does not endorse illegal gambling and the services offered by Office-Pools.com should not be construed as supporting illegal gambling. NCS and Office-Pools.com are neither affiliated with nor endorsed by any professional sports organization. NCS is neither responsible nor liable for any telecommunication or internet service costs you incur while using our service.
3. POOL OWNERSHIP
All pools on Office-Pools.com are considered to be owned by the pool administrator. It is the responsibility of the administrator and pool members to ensure that the pool meets all local, state and federal legal requirements. If the pool has a prize, it is the sole responsibility of the individual pool administrator to award that prize. Office-Pools.com is neither responsible nor liable, in any way, shape or form, for awarding pool prizes. NCS is neither responsible nor liable for ensuring the legality of a pool.
4. SUBSCRIPTION-BASED LICENSE MODEL
There is no charge or fee to create and manage individual user accounts. License Subscriptions are sold to allow users to participate in pools. This allows a pool administrator to run a pool on Office-Pools.com without inconveniencing players to have to pay as they sign up for the site or the pool.
User subscription licenses are sold in either season-long or single-event packages. A season-long package extends from the beginning to the end of any ONE season for a specific sports league. Seasons are defined as commonly understood by fans, and end with the conclusion of the championship game or event for that season in that league.
A license is required for each pickset in your pool. So if a player is playing multiple picksets (up to three per login for each season and league are allowed) he or she will consume multiple licenses.
Failure to purchase adequate licenses to cover the number of players in your pool will render the pool unusable until payment has been made.

You may request a refund via email by contacting Office-Pools.com Commissioner or you may request a refund via mail.
