These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern access to soughtafterlabs.com, Chips & Checks, Shared Asset Manager, and related services provided by Sought After Labs, LLC (“Sought After Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), collectively referred to as the “Services.”
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.
Eligibility and accounts
You must be legally able to enter into these Terms.
Access to a particular league, group, or shared asset may require an invitation, membership, product entitlement, administrator action, or other authorization.
You are responsible for providing accurate information, protecting access to your account and devices, and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized use.
Authentication alone does not necessarily grant access to a particular league, group, shared asset, administrative function, or record.
The Chips & Checks service
Chips & Checks provides poker tournament-management, league-management, scheduling, standings, recordkeeping, and related coordination tools for friendly and home poker groups and leagues.
Chips & Checks does not operate poker games, accept or hold wagers, process gambling payments, act as a gambling operator, or award prizes.
League organizers and users are responsible for their games, activities, payments, prizes, and compliance with laws and rules that apply to them.
Information displayed by Chips & Checks reflects records entered or generated through use of the Service and should be reviewed by the applicable league or tournament organizers when accuracy is important.
The Shared Asset Manager service
Shared Asset Manager provides tools for groups that jointly own, use, maintain, manage, or pay expenses for a shared asset.
Features may include member and ownership records, expenses, payments, balances, allocations, invoices, reservations, usage, To-Do items, maintenance, repairs, work logs, Needs List items, documents, receipts, and activity/history.
Shared Asset Manager is a coordination and recordkeeping tool.
Information entered into Shared Asset Manager does not by itself create, transfer, prove, or determine legal title or ownership of an asset.
Ownership percentages, balances, expense allocations, payment records, maintenance records, and other information in the Service reflect application records supplied or authorized by users. They are not a substitute for deeds, titles, contracts, partnership agreements, accounting records, tax advice, legal advice, insurance records, or other legally controlling documents.
Shared Asset Manager is not a bank, payment processor, escrow service, accounting firm, law firm, tax adviser, property manager, aircraft operator, vessel operator, vehicle operator, or maintenance provider.
Real-world asset responsibility
Users of Shared Asset Manager remain responsible for the actual ownership, operation, maintenance, safety, insurance, licensing, registration, storage, transportation, and legal use of their shared asset.
The Services do not inspect assets, verify physical condition, determine whether maintenance is adequate, determine whether an asset is safe to operate, or guarantee that scheduled work has actually been performed.
An Asset Administrator role within Shared Asset Manager grants software permissions only. It does not by itself create legal authority, ownership rights, agency, fiduciary status, or authority to bind another person outside the Service.
Group access and shared records
The Services are collaborative applications.
Information entered into a league, group, or shared asset may be visible to other authorized users according to the roles, memberships, and access rules of the applicable Service.
You are responsible for information you choose to enter or upload and for determining that you have the right to provide it.
Do not use the Services to upload, disclose, or distribute information, documents, or files that you do not have the right or authority to provide.
User content and records
You retain ownership of information and files you submit to the Services.
You grant Sought After Labs a limited license to host, store, process, copy, transmit, display, and make that information available to authorized users only as reasonably necessary to provide, secure, maintain, and support the Services.
You represent that you have the right to provide the information and files you submit.
Certain records are intentionally preserved for historical integrity. Removing or deactivating an account does not necessarily remove historical tournament, ownership, financial, maintenance, payment, activity, or other records in which that account legitimately participated.
Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- Use the Services for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive, or harmful activity.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, groups, assets, or data.
- Interfere with the operation, security, integrity, or availability of the Services.
- Upload malicious code or files designed to compromise users, systems, or data.
- Use automated means to scrape, overload, disrupt, or improperly extract information from the Services.
- Misrepresent your identity, role, ownership, membership, administrative authority, or authority to act for another person or organization.
- Use information obtained through the Services for unauthorized harassment, fraud, identity misuse, or other improper purposes.
SMS terms for Chips & Checks
When you request a Chips & Checks authentication or sign-in code, you consent to receive an automated transactional SMS message from Sought After Labs or Chips & Checks at the mobile number associated with your invitation or account.
Message frequency varies based on authentication requests.
Message and data rates may apply.
Reply STOP to opt out. After opting out, you will receive no further SMS messages unless you later initiate another request or otherwise provide consent again.

Reply HELP for help or email: contact@soughtafterlabs.com
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of purchase.
Mobile information and messaging consent are handled as described in our Privacy Policy and are not sold or shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
Intellectual property
The Services, including their software, design, branding, interfaces, documentation, and related materials, are owned by Sought After Labs or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.
These Terms do not transfer ownership of the Services to you.
Service availability and changes
We may update, improve, change, suspend, restrict, or discontinue all or part of the Services.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
We may restrict access when reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance, misuse prevention, protection of users or data, or enforcement of these Terms.
Third-party services and infrastructure may be required for portions of the Services, and outages or changes affecting those providers may affect availability.
No professional advice
Information presented through the Services is intended for coordination and recordkeeping.
The Services do not provide legal, tax, accounting, financial, insurance, maintenance, safety, aviation, maritime, automotive, property-management, or other professional advice.
You should consult an appropriate qualified professional when advice in one of those areas is needed.
Disclaimer
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that information entered by users is complete or accurate, that the Services will meet every user's requirements, or that access will always be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Sought After Labs will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, business opportunities, use of an asset, or other intangible losses arising from or related to the Services.
Sought After Labs is not responsible for physical loss, damage, injury, maintenance failure, scheduling conflicts, ownership disputes, financial disagreements, missed payments, or other real-world consequences resulting from decisions or actions taken by users in connection with a shared asset, except to the extent liability cannot legally be excluded.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you.
Termination and access changes
You may stop using the Services at any time.
Access to an individual league, group, or shared asset may also change because of actions taken by an authorized administrator, membership changes, account status, entitlement status, or other applicable access rules.
We may suspend or terminate access if we reasonably believe these Terms have been violated, access creates risk to users or the Services, unauthorized use has occurred, or suspension is required by law.
Termination or loss of access does not necessarily require deletion of legitimate historical group or asset records.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time.
We will post the updated Terms here and revise the effective date.
Continued use after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
