Terms of Use
Last updated September 14, 2026
Agreement
These Terms of Use govern your use of Deep Layer at askdeeplayer.com and related product surfaces. You can review them at /terms before you continue or create an account. By using Deep Layer, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. Creating an account is additional electronic assent to the same Terms and Privacy Policy. If a paid offering is later presented, completing that checkout is a separate express confirmation of the purchase terms shown there. If you do not agree, do not use the product.
What Deep Layer is
Deep Layer is an AI sports intelligence platform for evidence-backed sports research.
You can ask sports questions, continue a research thread, use specialized League of Legends, Counter-Strike 2, or Sports Content Intelligence surfaces, save work in Intelligence Library, and optionally publish a research snapshot.
Deep Layer is not a sportsbook, does not place wagers, and does not guarantee outcomes.
Eligibility and lawful use
You must be at least 13 years old to use Deep Layer. Paid offerings, when available, are for people 18 or older who can form a binding agreement where they live. You must use Deep Layer only for lawful purposes. You are responsible for complying with any rules that apply to your use of sports information, including wagering or content-sharing rules that apply to you.
Accounts
Some features — including account-backed Intelligence Library and durable Sports Intelligence — require a signed-in account. You are responsible for the credentials you use and for activity on your account. Keep your password confidential. Do not share your account or credentials. We may suspend or close an account that we reasonably believe is abused, compromised, or used in violation of these Terms.
Paid services and research allowances
You may try a bounded complimentary research allowance without an account. That complimentary use is not a paid trial, does not collect billing information, and does not automatically enroll you in a paid plan.
Deep Layer may offer paid plans or user-initiated research add-ons. A paid offering may include a stated number of research investigations and same-thread follow-ups. The price, included allowance, billing period, renewal terms, cancellation method, and any other purchase-specific terms will be shown before you are asked to complete a paid transaction or provide billing information. Completing checkout, when offered, is express confirmation of those purchase terms. After a paid purchase, Deep Layer will provide a confirmation you can retain.
Add-ons, if offered, are initiated by you. Deep Layer does not use automatic research overage, automatically upgrade your plan because you buy an add-on, or retroactively rebill prior research at a higher plan price. Any rollover period, purchased-research bank limit, and expiration order that apply to an add-on will be disclosed with the paid offering before purchase.
If a paid offering renews, you may cancel it online through your account or another equally accessible method disclosed at purchase. Cancellation is at period end: paid access continues through the current paid period, and unused included or extra allowance expires when that subscription expires. If a renewal payment fails, paid access may continue for a short grace period while we retry, then ends. Add-on purchases are paused while a renewal is past due.
Plan changes, when offered, take effect on the next billing cycle. We do not prorate mid-cycle, automatically upgrade you, or retroactively rebill earlier research at a higher plan price.
Charges are generally non-refundable after purchase, except where we agree in writing, where a listed exception applies, or where applicable law requires otherwise. A formal payment dispute does not create new access.
Prices may be presented plus applicable taxes where required. Deep Layer’s product is remotely hosted software. Tax collection, if any, depends on your location and applicable law. We do not assume that one state’s software-tax treatment applies nationwide.
If Deep Layer later makes a material change to an active paid offering, we will notice you before that change takes effect and tell you how to cancel. A material paid-term change does not apply until that notice is given.
Paid checkout and commercial enforcement are not active merely because these Terms describe the contract framework. A paid offering applies only when Deep Layer actually presents it for purchase.
Organization and jurisdiction
The Deep Layer LLC is a Minnesota limited liability company and the intended seller of paid Deep Layer services. Minnesota is the primary home-state legal and commercial reference for our own policy design. That does not mean Minnesota law automatically governs every customer relationship, and it does not make Minnesota software-tax treatment apply everywhere. Customer location, the terms of a specific purchase, and applicable law can still matter. These Terms do not waive non-waivable consumer protections of the state where you live. These Terms do not require arbitration or a class-action waiver.
Sports research and current information
Deep Layer uses AI and current-source research to help you investigate sports questions. Research can still be incomplete or incorrect, especially when information changes quickly. Review citations and verify important decisions with primary sources.
Deep Layer may analyze matchups, players, props, and market discrepancies. That is research, not a promise of results. You decide how to use it.
Acceptable use
Do not use Deep Layer to:
- break the law or violate another person’s rights
- attempt to access another user’s account or private research
- share credentials or let others use your account
- circumvent access, allowance, payment, or security controls
- automate or exploit the service for fraud or to evade usage limits
- disrupt, scrape, or overload the service beyond ordinary use
- submit content you do not have the right to share
- misrepresent Deep Layer research as a guaranteed pick or official line
Prompts and user content
You retain your rights in the questions and other content you submit. You grant Deep Layer a limited license to process that content to operate, secure, and improve the product, including sending it to the AI and research providers used to generate an answer.
Public research
Publish & share is an explicit action. If you publish, you are responsible for the snapshot you make public. Unpublished and private research stay private. Unpublishing hides the public page; copies that others already saved may remain outside Deep Layer.
Ownership
Deep Layer, its name, marks, software, and product design remain the property of Deep Layer. These Terms do not transfer ownership of the product to you. Third-party sources, data, marks, and citations remain owned by their owners. Deep Layer does not claim to own third-party source material it cites.
Copyright complaints
If you believe content on Deep Layer infringes your copyright, send a complaint to legal@askdeeplayer.com. Include a description of the work, the location of the material, your contact information, and a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized. Deep Layer has not yet designated a formal copyright agent with the U.S. Copyright Office.
Citations and third-party services
Answers may cite third-party sources and depend on third-party AI, hosting, and authentication providers. Those sources and services have their own terms. Deep Layer does not control or guarantee third-party content.
Availability and changes
We work to keep Deep Layer available, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features as the product evolves. If a change materially affects an active paid offering, any rights or remedies required by applicable law still apply.
Disclaimers
Deep Layer is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Research is not advice for betting, legal, or financial decisions.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Deep Layer is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or decisions you make using the research. Our total liability for claims arising out of these Terms or the product is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the product in the three months before the claim, if any, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (US $100).
Indemnity
You will defend and indemnify Deep Layer against claims arising from content you submit or publish, your misuse of the product, or your violation of these Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
Electronic notices
We may send account, legal, and — when a paid offering is active — billing notices to the email on your account. You agree to receive those notices electronically.
Changes
We may update these Terms. The “Last updated” date will change when we do. Continued unpaid use after an update means you accept the revised Terms. Material changes to an active paid offering are noticed before they take effect, as described under Paid services.
