Terms of service

Using Pigskin Lab

Pigskin Lab is run by Obegi Software LLC (Mason Obegi), a Washington limited liability company. By using it you agree to these terms. It is free during the beta, provided as is, and may change or stop at any time. When Pro launches, its features will be paid, except on sponsored accounts, which the site owner sets up and which keep them free. Before any part of it stops being free, this page and the site will say so, and account holders will get an email first.

The data comes from nflverse (CC-BY 4.0) and may contain errors, gaps or late corrections; see About the data. Next Gen Stats (player-tracking numbers such as separation and time to throw) are the NFL's own statistics, passed on by nflverse; they are always free to view here and never part of a paid pass. Nothing here is betting, fantasy or financial advice. Pigskin Lab is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NFL or any team.

Accounts

Without an account every page is open, Ask answers 10 questions in each browser, and you can look around the dashboards and graphics they build and the ones people share with you. More questions, and saving, editing, sharing or exporting, need a free account with a confirmed email address; one account signs you in to Pigskin Lab and its three sister sites.

With a confirmed account, Ask answers up to 100 questions a day. Give a real email address you can read (a sponsored account uses a username instead), and keep your password and recovery code to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account. You can delete it at any time from your account page.

Fair use of the site

• Don't overload the site: no automated scraping or request floods.
• Don't make accounts in bulk or for someone else's email address.
• Don't try to get around Pro, reuse someone else's pass code, or resell access.
• Don't use Ask to send anything unlawful, abusive or unrelated to football stats.
• Exported images carry the data credit, and the photo credit when they show player photos; keep both when you share them.

Access can be limited or blocked, and accounts closed, for anyone who breaks these rules.

Your data

What the site records, signed in and signed out, how long it keeps it and how to download or delete it is set out in the privacy policy. In short: signed out, what you do is recorded under a random anonymous ID in one cookie, never your IP address, your browser's name or anything you type, and kept 365 days; if you make an account or sign in in the same browser, those records become part of your account's activity.

Ask

Ask turns what you type into a dashboard. It can misread a request, and the microphone can mishear one; check the words in the box and that the dashboard shows what you meant. Every player, team and game it shows is looked up in the data.

Pro passes

Pro is not on sale right now. When it launches it will be a subscription: its price, what it includes, how billing and cancelling work and the refund policy will be set out here before you buy.

Tips

Tips are voluntary gifts made through Stripe, not purchases. They don't buy any feature. If you tipped by mistake, contact [email protected] and it will be refunded.

Ads

No ads are shown today. If that changes, they will come from third parties, will not be endorsements, and their sites will have their own terms.

Your dashboards and graphics

Dashboards and graphics you make are yours. Sharing one stores its settings, and the request that built it, under a short link that anyone with the link can open; by sharing it you let the site store it and show it to anyone who has the link. It stays up until you ask for it to be taken down. Don't put anything private in a title before you share it.

Intellectual property

The site itself (its code, design, text, the Pigskin Lab name and logo, and the charts and graphics it draws) belongs to Obegi Software LLC, except the player photos below. You may use the site and share what you make with it as these terms describe; you may not copy the site or its code, or present it as your own.

The football data belongs to its sources and is used under their terms: nflverse under CC-BY 4.0, and Next Gen Stats from the NFL through nflverse. Team and league names are the trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which team or league a number is about.

Player photos on graphics and link previews come from Wikimedia Commons under their own free licences and belong to their photographers; each card names its photos' authors and licences, and thephoto credits page lists every photo with its source. A graphic that shows a CC BY-SA photo is shared under CC BY-SA 4.0: anyone may share or adapt that graphic under the same licence, keeping its credit line. A photo shows who a player is, not that he or anyone endorses this site or a graphic.

No warranty, and limits on liability

The site is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. It may be unavailable, change or stop at any time. To the extent the law allows, the operator is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid in the 12 months before it.

Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that cannot be waived.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, USA, without regard to its rules on conflicts of law. Any dispute about them or the site will be decided in the state or federal courts in Washington State, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it there.

Changes

These terms may change; the date at the top changes with them. Changes do not take away anything a pass you already bought includes.
