Fantasy Lair · Legal · Version 2026-08-21

Terms of Service

Last updated 2026-08-21

What follows is the dry part. Dr. Vorp has read it and objected to its tone; the tone is the point. It is written to be understood, so please read it — but the short version is this: Fantasy Lair analyzes your fantasy football leagues with AI, the AI is sometimes wrong, every decision in your league remains yours, and we are not responsible for what happens in it.

That summary is not part of the agreement and does not change anything below it. The numbered sections govern.

Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Samwisette Software Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which operates the Fantasy Lair website and application at fantasylair.app (the “Service”). “We,” “us,” and “our” refer to that company. “You” refers to the person using the Service.

You accept these Terms by checking the acceptance box presented when you first sign in, and by continuing to use the Service afterward. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service. We record the date and the version of the Terms you accepted; the version you are reading is 2026-08-21.

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

What Fantasy Lair is

Fantasy Lair is an AI-powered fantasy football analysis tool. With your permission, it retrieves the history of fantasy football leagues you belong to — matchups, drafts, rosters, transactions, and league settings — stores that history, and lets you ask questions about it in natural language. It also provides draft-preparation tools, such as rankings boards and draft rehearsal, and can send you alerts about NFL news relevant to your leagues. Answers are generated by a large language model operating over your league data and, in some cases, over public information retrieved from the web.

Fantasy Lair is operated by a small company and is not a licensed provider of any regulated service. It is not a fantasy sports contest operator, a sportsbook, a broker, or an advisor of any kind. It does not host leagues, hold funds, settle wagers, or process entry fees.

Eligibility and age

To use the Service you must be able to form a binding contract with us. Specifically:

  • You must be at least 13 years old. The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
  • If you are between 13 and 17, you may use the Service only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Terms on your behalf.
  • You must be at least 18 years old to purchase any paid plan or otherwise transact with us.
  • You must not be barred from using the Service under the laws of your jurisdiction, and you must not have been previously removed from the Service by us.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us at hello@spokenalpha.com.

Your account

You sign in through Google. You are responsible for the security of the Google account you use and for all activity that occurs under your Fantasy Lair account.

Accurate information
You agree that the information associated with your account is accurate and that you will keep it current.
One account per person
You may hold one account. You may not create additional accounts to evade a suspension, to exceed usage limits, or to obtain trial or promotional benefits more than once.
No sharing or transfer
You may not share your account credentials with anyone or transfer your account to another person.
Notify us of compromise
Tell us promptly at hello@spokenalpha.com if you believe your account has been accessed without your authorization.

Access to the Service may be limited to an approved list of email addresses. Being able to sign in does not entitle you to continued access.

Connecting your ESPN account

To retrieve your league history, the Service needs to sign in to ESPN as you. When you use the ESPN connection feature, you provide your ESPN credentials, we complete the sign-in on your behalf, and we retain the resulting session cookies in encrypted form so that we can continue fetching your league data without asking you to sign in again.

By using that feature, you represent and agree that:

  • The ESPN account is yours, or you are otherwise authorized to access it and to authorize us to access it.
  • You are instructing and authorizing us to act as your agent for the limited purpose of retrieving fantasy league data that your own ESPN account is entitled to see.
  • Your relationship with ESPN is governed by ESPN’s own terms of use and privacy policy, which are between you and ESPN. You are responsible for your compliance with them, including any provisions concerning automated access to ESPN’s services. We make no representation that your use of this feature is permitted by ESPN.
  • You may disconnect your ESPN account at any time. Doing so stops future data retrieval; see the Privacy Policy for what happens to data already retrieved.

ESPN may change, restrict, or block this access at any time, with or without notice to us. Access to your ESPN league data through the Service is not guaranteed and may stop working permanently. Section 10 describes our lack of affiliation with ESPN.

Dr. Vorp is AI, and what that means

Dr. Vorp is AI-driven. Answers are analytical guidance, not guaranteed outcomes. You are solely responsible for lineup, trade, keeper, and waiver decisions in your leagues.

Every answer, ranking, projection, recommendation, and piece of commentary the Service produces is generated by a large language model. Model output can be wrong. It can misread your league’s scoring settings, misattribute a transaction, cite a statistic incorrectly, reason from stale data, or state a confident conclusion that is simply not true. It can also be wrong in ways that are difficult to detect because the surrounding explanation is fluent and specific.

The Service is a research and entertainment tool. It is not professional advice of any kind — not financial, investment, legal, tax, medical, or wagering advice. Nothing it produces is a prediction you should rely on, and no output constitutes a recommendation to place, or refrain from placing, any bet or wager. Verify anything that matters before you act on it.

Because the underlying models are probabilistic, the same question may produce different answers at different times. We do not guarantee consistency, availability, accuracy, or completeness of any output, and we may change the models, prompts, data sources, or behavior of the Service at any time.

Dr. Vorp is a construct. His reads are strong. He is occasionally imperfect. He would dispute the wording of this paragraph, at length, and the wording would stand.

Your leagues, your decisions, your money

You alone decide what to do in your fantasy leagues. Setting a lineup, accepting or rejecting a trade, keeping or releasing a player, claiming a waiver, or entering a league that charges a buy-in are your decisions and your responsibility, whether or not you consulted the Service first.

We are not responsible for any loss you suffer in connection with a fantasy football league, including loss of entry fees, buy-ins, side bets, prize money, league standing, keeper rights, draft position, or reputation among your leaguemates.

You are responsible for complying with the rules of your own leagues, including any rules restricting outside assistance, automated tools, or collusion. Some leagues prohibit them. Check before you rely on the Service, and do not use it to violate the rules of a league you are in.

You are also responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, including any law governing fantasy sports contests or wagering in your jurisdiction. The Service does not facilitate gambling, and we do not evaluate whether any contest you enter is lawful where you live.

Acceptable use

You agree not to do any of the following:

  • Access the Service by automated means — scripts, scrapers, crawlers, or bots — or use it to build a competing dataset, model, or product.
  • Resell, sublicense, or redistribute the Service or its output as a commercial product or service.
  • Attempt to discover, extract, or reconstruct the Service’s prompts, model configuration, or non-public logic, including by prompt injection or similar techniques.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service or its infrastructure, or breach or circumvent any security or authentication measure.
  • Impose an unreasonable load on the Service, or interfere with its operation or with any other user’s use of it.
  • Submit content that is unlawful, infringing, defamatory, harassing, or that contains another person’s personal information without their consent.
  • Upload an image you do not have the right to share, or one containing another person’s personal information, private messages, or account details without their consent. A screenshot of a group chat is content about the people in it.
  • Upload an image in order to manipulate the Service’s behaviour — including images containing text addressed to the model, whether to change its instructions, claim a permission you were not given, or extract its prompts.
  • Use the Service to generate content intended to harass, defame, or deceive another person, including your leaguemates.
  • Use the Service in violation of any applicable law, or of any third party’s rights.

We may investigate suspected violations and may suspend or terminate access under Section 13 while we do.

Content and intellectual property

Your content
You retain ownership of the questions, notes, images, and other content you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, process, and transmit that content, and to share it with the service providers listed in the Privacy Policy, solely to operate and improve the Service for you. This license ends when the content is deleted, except for backups retained for a limited period and copies we are required to keep by law.
Images you upload
You may attach images to a question — a screenshot, a photo of a draft board, a picture of a hand-written list. You confirm you have the right to share what you upload. We store it in a private, encrypted bucket and send it to Anthropic to answer the question it was attached to, and for nothing else: we do not use your images to train models, and we do not review, publish, or share them beyond the providers named in Section 10. Deleting the conversation, or your account, deletes the image.
Your league data
Fantasy league data retrieved on your behalf is data about your leagues, not data we claim to own. We store and process it to operate the Service for you.
Output
As between you and us, you may use the output the Service generates for you for any lawful purpose, subject to Section 8. Output is not unique to you — other users may receive substantially similar responses to similar questions, and we make no claim of exclusivity in it.
Our content
The Service itself — its software, design, brand, characters, and written material, including Dr. Vorp — belongs to us. These Terms grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Service, and nothing more.
Feedback
If you send us suggestions, we may use them without obligation or compensation to you.

Third-party services and no affiliation

The Service depends on third parties to function. Using it means your data reaches them:

Google
Provides authentication. We receive your email address, name, and profile image.
ESPN (The Walt Disney Company)
The source of your fantasy league data, retrieved as described in Section 5.
Anthropic
Provides the large language models. The content of your questions, any images you attach to them, the league data relevant to answering them, and the resulting answers are sent to Anthropic’s API for processing.
Amazon Web Services
Hosts the application, its database, its background workers, and the private encrypted storage holding any images you upload.
Stripe
Processes subscription payments. Your card details go directly to Stripe under its own terms; we never receive them.

These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for their acts or omissions, and an outage or change on their side may degrade or interrupt the Service.

Fantasy Lair is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by ESPN, The Walt Disney Company, Yahoo, the National Football League, the NFL Players Association, or any of their affiliates. All team names, player names, league marks, and logos are the property of their respective owners and are used, where used at all, for identification only.

Changes to the Service

The Service is under active development and is provided on an as-available basis. We may add, change, restrict, or remove features, change the models or data sources behind it, impose usage limits, or suspend or discontinue the Service entirely, at any time and for any reason.

We will try to give reasonable notice of a change that materially reduces functionality you rely on, and we will give notice before discontinuing the Service entirely where we practically can. Except as stated in Section 11, we have no liability to you for any such change.

Termination

By you
You may stop using the Service at any time. To close your account and delete your data, follow the process described in the Privacy Policy or email us at hello@spokenalpha.com. If you have a paid subscription, cancel it before it renews; deleting your account does not by itself refund a period already paid for.
By us, for cause
We may suspend or terminate your access immediately, without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, if your use creates legal risk or harm to us or another user, or if a third party we depend on requires it.
By us, for convenience
We may terminate your access for any other reason on 30 days’ notice to the email address associated with your account. If you have paid for a period extending past that date, we will refund the unused portion.
Effect
On termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections 7, 9, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 19 survive, as does any payment obligation already incurred. Data deletion follows the Privacy Policy.

Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Without limiting that, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that any output will be accurate, complete, current, or reliable; that defects will be corrected; or that your league data will be retrievable at any given time. No advice or information obtained from the Service creates any warranty not expressly stated here.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties. In those places the exclusions above apply to the fullest extent permitted, and you may have rights that these Terms cannot limit.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost opportunities, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to the Service — including any loss connected to a fantasy football league, entry fee, buy-in, side bet, or prize — even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred United States dollars (US$100).

These limits apply regardless of the legal theory — contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise — and apply even if a limited remedy fails of its essential purpose. They do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, such as liability for fraud, for our own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those places, these limits apply to the fullest extent permitted.

You acknowledge that these limits are a fundamental basis of the bargain, and that we would not provide the Service at its price without them.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Samwisette Software Holdings LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, and agents from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to: your use of the Service; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any law or of any third party’s rights, including ESPN’s terms of use; content you submit; or any decision you make in a fantasy football league. We will notify you of any such claim and may participate in its defense at our own expense; you may not settle a claim in a way that imposes an obligation on us without our written consent.

Governing law and dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Step one — talk to us first
Before starting any formal proceeding, you agree to email a description of the dispute and the relief you want to hello@spokenalpha.com, and to give us 30 days to resolve it informally. We agree to do the same before bringing a claim against you. This step is a precondition to arbitration.
Step two — binding arbitration
If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, it will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. Arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, in New Castle County, Delaware or, at your election, remotely or in the county where you live. The arbitrator, not a court, decides questions about the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.
Small claims carve-out
Either of us may instead bring an individual claim in small claims court, if it qualifies there. Either of us may also seek injunctive relief in court to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
Individual basis only
Claims must be brought individually. You and we each waive any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this waiver is held unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim proceeds in court and the rest of this section still applies to the remaining claims.
Opting out of arbitration
You may opt out of arbitration and the class waiver by emailing hello@spokenalpha.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out” within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Opting out costs you nothing and does not affect any other part of these Terms.
If arbitration does not apply
Where a dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and we consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware.

Any claim arising out of or relating to the Service must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, unless applicable law forbids shortening the period.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page. For material changes — new fees, new categories of data sharing, or changes to Section 17 — we will give notice by email or in the Service and ask you to accept the new version before you continue using it.

Non-material changes take effect when posted. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it. If you do not accept a change, stop using the Service and close your account.

General

Entire agreement
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, and supersede any prior understanding on the subject.
Severability
If a provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the rest remains in effect.
No waiver
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment
You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them, in whole or in part, to a successor or affiliate, including in connection with a merger or sale of assets. Your rights under these Terms are not diminished by such an assignment.
Force majeure
Neither party is liable for a failure to perform caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages at the third-party providers listed in Section 10.
Notices
We may send notices to the email address associated with your account. Send notices to us at hello@spokenalpha.com.
Relationship
These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship, except for the limited agency you grant us in Section 5.
