Terms & Conditions

Effective date: June 14, 2026Last revised: July 6, 2026

1. Overview and acceptance

Welcome to diffy.gg, operated by Diffy eSports LLC (“Diffy,” “we,” “us”). The things you can do here — browse the site, apply to become a Diffy player, buy merch, or back a player by contributing to the Player Development Fund — are our “Services,” and your use of them is subject to these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). By applying to become a player, buying merch, or backing a player, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

By using our Services, you are also agreeing to our other policies, including our Privacy Policy, our Code of Conduct, and Shipping & Returns Policy.

If you make a contribution to the Player Development Fund, you must read and agree to the Contributor Participation Agreement (CPA) before completing checkout. By clicking “Contribute now” and completing payment, you confirm you have read, understood, and accepted the CPA, in addition to these Terms. If these Terms conflict with the CPA on a Fund-specific matter, the CPA controls for the Fund. If your application is accepted and you enroll in a player support package, you must sign a Player Support Agreement before starting those services. The Player Support Agreement governs program-specific services and their recurring, invoiced fees (including the minimum commitment, renewal, pause, and cancellation terms) and controls for those services above the Terms. The Player Support Agreement also governs how Diffy may use an accepted player’s name, image, voice, and likeness to operate and promote the program and its players; for players under 18, a parent or legal guardian provides this consent on the player’s behalf.

By continuing to use our Services, you agree to our use of cookies and similar technologies as described in our Privacy Policy, which also explains how to manage your cookie choices. We process your personal data on the legal bases set out in that Privacy Policy. Where required by law, we will provide opt-in controls before placing non-essential cookies.

2. Application and evaluation fee

When submitting an application, you agree:

  • To pay a non-refundable evaluation fee of $500.
  • Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.

Falsification of your age range will result in immediate rejection of your application.

  • Diffy aims to provide your personalized gameplay and brand evaluation within 5 business days, but delivery time is not guaranteed. We will proactively inform you of any anticipated delays via email or Discord. If we have not delivered your evaluation within 15 business days of submitting your application, you may request a full refund of the evaluation fee by emailing support@diffy.gg.
  • No modifications after delivery. Your evaluation deliverables, such as your personalized gameplay and brand evaluation, are final upon delivery. Diffy will not provide modifications or revisions after they have been delivered. We will correct factual errors (such as incorrect player data, wrong title, or misattributed information) if reported within 5 business days of delivery. This does not include subjective disagreements with the evaluation’s analysis or recommendations.
  • Confidentiality of your evaluation. Your evaluation deliverables are Diffy’s confidential and proprietary information, provided to you for your own personal development. This includes your personalized gameplay and brand evaluation and any scores, frameworks, benchmarks, methods, or analysis they reveal. You may keep them and share them privately with your own coach, advisor, or (for a minor) parent or guardian. You agree not to publicly publish, post, distribute, or otherwise share the evaluation, in whole or in large part, and not to use it to reverse-engineer, copy, or build a competing version of how Diffy works. This does not stop you from sharing your own general experience with Diffy, or from making any disclosure required by law.

3. Eligibility and parental consent

If the applicant is under 18, the application must be completed and submitted directly by a parent or legal guardian on behalf of the applicant. You must be 18 or older to contribute to the Player Development Fund. We will not process applications submitted directly by minors without the required parent/guardian consent. By submitting the application, the parent or guardian confirms they explicitly consent to the applicant’s participation in Diffy’s programs and agree to serve as the primary point of contact for all program communications and required activities. The parent or legal guardian is the contracting party for a minor’s participation, including but not limited to paying the application fee and signing the Player Support Agreement. Such signatures evidence a parent’s/guardian’s acceptance of these Terms and their consent to the applicant’s participation.

Diffy does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18 without verified parental submission of the application — a paid application fee that serves as verifiable parental consent (for children under 13, this is COPPA’s ‘monetary transaction’ method, 16 CFR §312.5(b)(2); we apply the same standard to all under-18 applicants). If we learn we have received such information without verified parental submission, we will delete it immediately.

If you believe we have collected personal information from a minor without verified parental submission, email privacy@diffy.gg and we will delete it immediately.

4. Accounts and access

You don’t need to create an account or sign in to use diffy.gg. All interactions with Diffy are through one-time application and contribution forms, email, and Discord. Keep the email and Discord accounts you use to reach us secure, since that’s how we’ll communicate with you.

5. Accuracy of application information

All application details you provide must be truthful, accurate, and complete. Diffy reserves the right to reject applications based on false or misleading information. It is prohibited to falsify your age range on applications or contribution forms.

6. Merchandise sales (Shopify store)

Diffy’s merch store is hosted on Shopify:

  • Products are available exclusively online.
  • Prices and availability may change without prior notice.
  • While we strive for accuracy, exact product colors or appearance on-screen are not guaranteed.
  • You must provide accurate shipping details; Diffy is not liable for lost or incorrectly delivered shipments due to inaccurate or incomplete information provided by you.
  • Diffy reserves the right to refuse, limit, or cancel merchandise orders at our discretion. Limitations may apply per person, per household, or per order. If we cancel an order, we will notify you using the email or billing details provided during checkout.
  • Sometimes carriers run late; all estimated delivery dates are just estimates.
  • All merch purchases are subject to our Shipping & Returns Policy.

7. Accuracy and completeness of information

Diffy is not responsible if information on our site is not accurate, complete, or current. Any reliance on website material is at your own risk. Diffy reserves the right to update, correct, or clarify site information at any time without prior notice.

8. Intellectual property (site content)

All website content, including but not limited to logos, images, text, AI tools, and videos, is owned by or licensed to Diffy. You may not reproduce, redistribute, or exploit our proprietary content without express written permission.

9. Brand assets and toolkits (usage rules)

This section covers the usage rules for all Diffy and player brand assets, including but not limited to logos, marks, images, video, copy, and other creative assets.

License. We grant a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use brand kit assets for the purposes below.

Allowed use. Editorial coverage, partner announcements, event materials, and respectful non-commercial fan content that accurately represents Diffy and/or the featured player.

Ownership and third-party rights. Assets remain the property of Diffy or the respective player. Some uses may require additional approvals from the player.

Revocation. We may revoke permission for any use that violates these Terms or harms brand or player reputation, as determined in our sole discretion.

10. User comments, feedback, and submissions

If you voluntarily submit feedback, comments, ideas, or suggestions (collectively “Comments”) to Diffy without a formal agreement, you agree Diffy can freely use, edit, or distribute your Comments without restriction, compensation, or acknowledgment. You represent that your Comments are original and do not infringe any third party’s rights.

11. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

If you believe your copyrighted work is being used on diffy.gg without permission, email legal@diffy.gg with “DMCA” in the subject, and we will respond promptly.

12. Prohibited uses

You agree not to use diffy.gg or our Services to:

  • Submit misleading or false information.
  • Upload copyrighted or unauthorized materials.
  • Spread malicious software, interfere with website functionality, or compromise security.
  • Engage in harmful, abusive, discriminatory, or unlawful behaviors.
  • Use automated tools, bots, or scripts to access or scrape the site.
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract source code, models, or algorithms from our services.
  • Submit false or misleading data to our AI tools.
  • Use AI-generated outputs for gambling, wagering, or any activity intended to influence betting markets.
  • Impersonate any person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

13. Links to third-party sites

We sometimes link to outside resources (Shopify, YouTube clips, pro guides, etc.). When you follow one of those links, that site’s own privacy, security, and accessibility rules apply, not ours. We do not control or endorse their content, operators, products, or services unless we say so explicitly.

14. Linking to diffy.gg

We love backlinks. You are welcome to link to diffy.gg as long as you do not:

  • imply Diffy endorses your cause, product, or service,
  • use our logo, brand assets, or copyrighted content without written permission, or
  • republish our content for commercial or fundraising purposes.

If we ask you to remove a link that is within your control, you agree to do so promptly. We may withdraw linking permission at any time in our sole discretion.

15. Electronic communications consent

By submitting an application, purchasing merch, or contributing to the Player Development Fund, you agree to receive email and/or Discord communications regarding your application, merch orders, or other essential service-related updates. You also agree that we may provide notices, agreements, and disclosures electronically, and that your electronic acceptance (i.e., checking a box or clicking to agree) and electronic signatures have the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.

16. Disclaimers, limitation of liability, and damages cap

a) “As is.” Your use of diffy.gg and all Services (including but not limited to evaluations of your application, the Player Development Fund, merchandise, AI tools, and any related features) is at your sole risk. All Services are provided on an “as-is” and “as-available” basis without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, performance improvement, rank progression, or audience growth.

b) AI tools. We use AI-assisted tools to help prepare your evaluation. Our AI tools suggest improvements, but they might miss context or be incomplete — always use your own judgment before acting on our analysis. A person, not an automated system, makes the decision on your application.

c) Contributions. You agree and acknowledge that contributions are voluntary and that there is no guaranteed outcome for a player supported by your contribution. Dissatisfaction with a player’s performance, or how Diffy chooses to use your contribution to support a player sponsored by the Player Development Fund, are not valid reasons for a refund of your contribution.

d) Merchandise. Merchandise is provided without warranties beyond those required by applicable law. We do not warrant that product colors or materials will exactly match on-screen representations.

e) Exclusions. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither you nor Diffy will be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages, even if advised of their possibility.

f) Account Terminations. Diffy is not liable for any account terminations, suspensions, bans, or deleted or restricted content for any accounts you manage related to the Services, including but not limited to your applied game, Discord, YouTube, or social media accounts.

g) Cap on damages. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms will not exceed the amount you paid to Diffy for Services (excluding Player Development Fund contributions, which are governed by the Contributor Participation Agreement) in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. These limits do not apply to fraud, willful misconduct, or injury caused by gross negligence. For claims relating to the Player Development Fund, the liability cap in the Contributor Participation Agreement (Section 14) controls.

h) Diffy is not responsible for any losses, damages, or suspension of access resulting from your use of our Services. We are also not liable for delays or failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, such as power outages, platform outages, or acts of God.

17. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify Diffy and our affiliates against claims, damages, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms, your misuse of diffy.gg, or infringement of third-party rights, except to the extent caused by Diffy’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

18. Accessibility commitment

Need the site in a more accessible format? Email accessibility@diffy.gg, and we will do our best to help.

19. Export control, sanctions, and screening

a) Representation. By making a contribution or purchase, you represent that (i) you are not located in, organized under the laws of, or a resident of any country or territory subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions; (ii) you are not listed on, or owned or controlled by anyone listed on, the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals List or any other applicable restricted party list; and (iii) funds used are not derived from or associated with any sanctioned person or prohibited activity.

b) Screening. Diffy reserves the right to screen transactions against applicable sanctions lists and to reject, freeze, or refund any contribution or purchase if screening indicates a potential match, without liability to you.

c) Compliance. You may not use our Services if U.S. export laws or sanctions prohibit it. We may suspend or terminate access to comply with applicable law.

20. Severability

If any provision within these Terms is found unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will remain enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law, and all remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable. Nothing in these Terms, including the disclaimers, liability cap, and exclusions in Section 16 and the arbitration, class-action waiver, and time-limit provisions in Section 23, limits or excludes any right or remedy you have under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence (including the EU and UK) where those rights cannot be waived.

21. Termination

Diffy reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to our Services at our discretion, without notice, for violations of these Terms or suspected misconduct.

22. Survival of key clauses

Sections on intellectual property (Section 8), indemnification (Section 17), limitation of liability (Section 16), and arbitration (Section 23) survive any termination of these Terms.

23. Governing law, arbitration, and waiver of class actions

a) Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.

b) Binding arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of diffy.gg will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted in Florida, USA, in English, before a single neutral arbitrator. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of first accepting these Terms by emailing legal@diffy.gg with your name and a statement that you wish to opt out; opting out will not affect any other part of these Terms.

c) Individual actions only. You agree to resolve disputes solely on an individual basis. You waive any right to participate in or bring a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.

d) Injunctive relief exception. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect confidential information, enforce intellectual property rights, or prevent unauthorized use of materials. Any such action must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Florida, USA.

e) Time limit for claims. Any claim must be filed within one (1) year of the event giving rise to it, or it is permanently barred, except where a longer period is required by applicable law.

f) Small claims option. Either party may bring an individual action in a court of competent jurisdiction for claims within that court’s small-claims limits.

g) Confidentiality. The parties will keep arbitration proceedings, filings, and awards confidential to the extent permitted by law and AAA rules. Nothing in this confidentiality provision prevents either party from making a disclosure required by law, or from reporting abuse, a safety risk, or a concern involving a minor to law enforcement, a regulator, or a child-protection authority.

h) Severability of arbitration/class waiver. If the class action waiver in 23c is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, then the arbitration provision in 23b will be unenforceable as to that claim, and the claim will proceed in court in Florida on an individual basis only.

24. Modifications to terms

Diffy reserves the right to update these Terms. Any changes will be posted prominently on our website, and continued use of our services after updates constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
