Terms of Service

Last updated: August 20, 2026

1. Acceptance of terms

By creating an account and using Chalk ("the service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you don't agree, don't use the service.

2. What Chalk is

Chalk is a private, invite-only against-the-spread (ATS) pick'em league platform for a defined group of members. It is not open to the public — you can only join a league if someone invites you with a league-specific invite link. The service lets members make weekly picks, view lock times and results, and see league standings.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. At sign-up you'll confirm your age and the state you're in. You're responsible for making sure your participation complies with any laws that apply to you where you live.

4. Account and phone verification

Creating an account requires verifying your phone number (or, as a fallback, your email) with a one-time passcode sent by Chalk by PhaseZero Labs. You're responsible for keeping access to your phone number/email and for all activity under your account. Sign-in code texts are transactional — sent only when you request one, not toggleable, and required to use Chalk. Separately, at sign-up you can optionally opt in to league update texts (such as pick deadline reminders); those are off by default, only sent if you check that box, and can be turned off anytime in your notification settings or by replying STOP. Message frequency for either kind is up to 4 messages per week during the NFL season. Msg & data rates may apply — see our Privacy Policy for details, including HELP/STOP instructions.

5. User conduct

By using Chalk, you agree not to:

  • Attempt to access another member's account or another league you weren't invited to
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to circumvent how the service records picks or determines results
  • Use the service for any purpose other than participating in your league's pick'em game
  • Share your invite link publicly or outside your league

6. League operation and results

Picks lock at the time shown for each game; picks cannot be changed after lock. League standings and results are computed by the service based on submitted picks and official game outcomes. We aim for these computations to be accurate, but errors are possible — see the disclaimer below.

7. No warranty; limitation of liability

Chalk is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't guarantee the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or available at all times. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chalk and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including any dispute over pick results or standings.

8. Changes to the service or these terms

We may update these terms or the service from time to time. We'll make a reasonable effort to notify active members of material changes. Continued use of Chalk after a change means you accept the updated terms.

9. Termination

We may suspend or remove access to the service for any account that violates these terms or a league's rules.
