Forums are provided for discussion and community interaction. Users agree not to post unlawful, abusive, or disruptive content. Moderators and administrators may remove content or suspend users who violate forum rules. Respectful discussion is expected at all times.

The Swap Meet is a venue for users to list, buy, sell, or trade items. Fortney Manufacturing LLC and The Shooters Hub do not broker, facilitate, or guarantee transactions. We are not responsible for the safety, legality, quality, or accuracy of items listed, or for disputes between users. Users are solely responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
8. User-Generated Content
By submitting or displaying content on the platform, you grant Fortney Manufacturing LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as formatting or translations), publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute such content for the purposes of operating, promoting, and improving The Shooters Hub. This license continues even if you stop using the platform. You retain ownership of your content.
9. Content Removal
We may remove, edit, or disable any content at our sole discretion, at any time, and for any reason, without prior notice. This includes content that violates these terms, is reported, poses a legal risk, or that we choose not to host.

Match data, schedules, scores, fees, and policies are maintained by individual match directors and clubs. The Shooters Hub only facilitates listings and does not guarantee their accuracy or reliability.

If you use our public APIs, you agree to do so responsibly. You may not bypass limits, interfere with stability, or misuse the API. Abuse—including scraping excessive data or conducting unauthorized commercial activity—is prohibited.
The API supports respectful data extraction and integration. Large-scale or automated data requests must be coordinated with us at contact@fortneyengineering.com. The community owns its data, not The Shooters Hub.

We strive to keep The Shooters Hub running smoothly but provide it “as is” with no guarantees. We make no promises about uptime, reliability, or specific features. The platform is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a purpose, or non-infringement.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fortney Manufacturing LLC and its affiliates will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages, including lost profits or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us (if any) for platform use in the past 12 months.
16. Modifications & Termination
We may update these terms, change features, or terminate access at any time, at our sole discretion, without prior notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us. We may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

These terms are governed by Wisconsin law. Disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration at a location of our choosing, or in Wisconsin state or federal courts, at our discretion. You waive any right to a jury trial or class action.
23. Third-Party Beneficiaries
