Terms of Service

1 · Who we are & what these terms cover

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the VT Hockey Development website, player portal, coaching services, training content, camps and events (together, the "Services"), operated by Vince Tarantino / VT Hockey Development ("VT", "we", "us"). By creating an account, registering a player, purchasing a package or using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.

2 · Minors & parent / guardian consent

Most of our athletes are minors. If a player is under the age of majority in their province or state:

• A parent or legal guardian must complete the registration, create or approve the player's account, and agree to these Terms on the player's behalf.
• The parent/guardian is responsible for all activity on the player's account and for payments.
• Parents may contact us at any time to review, update or delete their child's information (see the Privacy Policy).

3 · Accounts

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for everything that happens under your account. Give us accurate information and keep it current. We may suspend or close accounts that breach these Terms, abuse the platform or other users, or are used fraudulently.

4 · Coaching services, sessions & bookings

Video coaching sessions, on-ice sessions, intro calls and camps are booked through the player portal or arranged directly with Coach Vince. Session packages are tracked as credits on your account. Intro calls are free and carry no commitment.

5 · Cancellations, refunds & session credits

• More than 24 hours before a session: cancel anytime — your session credit is returned to your account automatically.
• Under 24 hours: the credit is held — contact Coach Vince to rebook; credits aren't automatically returned.
• Under 4 hours / no-show: the session credit is forfeited.
• If we cancel a session, your credit is always returned and we'll help you rebook.
• Program and package fees, payment plans and any refunds beyond the above are handled case by case — reach out and we'll be fair about it.

5a · VT Hockey Lab membership

• One-time year: paid once, runs for 12 months from the day you join. It never renews on its own — we email you 30 days and 7 days before it ends, and again on the last day, with a link to renew if you want to continue.
• Monthly: 12 monthly payments for the same 12-month membership, and it stops on its own after the twelfth. You can cancel at any time from My Progress → Manage my membership in the Lab (Stripe’s billing page). The month you have already paid for stays yours; access ends at the end of that period and no further payments are taken.
• Founding members: the first 100 families keep the founding price on every renewal for as long as they stay, using the same email.
• Membership fees are not refunded for unused time. Everything a player has completed stays in their library after the membership ends.

6 · Payments

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details. Prices are in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise, and applicable taxes may apply. Subscriptions (e.g. Video Vault) renew automatically until cancelled.

7 · Game film, video & performance data

• You (or your parent/guardian) grant VT permission to receive, store, review, clip, annotate and share back game film and training video you submit, solely for the player's coaching and development.
• We collect performance data (drill completion, session notes, assessments, Hockey IQ activity, goals and progress) to run the player's development plan.
• We will not use a player's identifiable film or data in public marketing without permission.
• Only submit film you have the right to share (e.g. respect LiveBarn/HUDL terms and your league's rules).

8 · Content & intellectual property

All VT content — drills, videos, courses, plans, reports, the Hockey IQ library and portal materials — belongs to VT Hockey Development and is licensed to you for the player's personal training only. Don't copy, resell, redistribute or share portal access. You keep ownership of the film and materials you submit.

9 · Assumption of risk

Hockey and athletic training carry inherent risk of injury. Players and parents are responsible for ensuring the player is medically fit to train and for following safe practices at their rink and training spaces. On-ice sessions may additionally require the facility's own waivers.

10 · Communications

By registering you agree to receive service emails about your account, bookings and program (sent via Brevo). Marketing emails are optional — unsubscribe anytime via the link in any marketing email.

11 · Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, VT Hockey Development is not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from use of the Services. Our total liability is limited to the amounts you paid for the Services in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

12 · Changes & contact

We may update these Terms as the Services evolve — the "last updated" date above will change and continued use means acceptance. Questions? Email info@vthockeydevelopment.com.
