Terms of Use

Agreement and acceptance

These Terms of Use form a binding agreement between you and USA Tennis Daily when you access this website, submit a coverage request, request pricing information, or otherwise use our public digital materials. If you do not agree, stop using the site immediately. Continued use after a published update means you accept the revised wording. USA Tennis Daily brings you the latest tennis news, match updates, tournament highlights, player stories, and key moments from courts across the USA and around the world. Stay informed and follow the game every day. These terms apply to fans, tournament directors, publicists, and media coordinators who read the pages or send a request. Sending a form, asking for a quote, or continuing to browse after the terms are displayed is acceptance. If you act for a company, you confirm you have authority to bind that company. We may refuse a request when the organiser cannot be identified or the message appears abusive. Nothing here creates a partnership or exclusive media licence unless a separate written arrangement says otherwise.

Site use and permitted purpose

Use the site for legitimate tennis news questions, media account inquiries, package coverage questions, and service information. You may describe a story category, preferred package, reply window, and account context so the news desk can reply with a practical route. You must not harass staff, submit false draw details, overload forms, scrape content, introduce malware, impersonate a player or official, or circulate fabricated scores as official results. You must not arrange briefings for events you are not authorised to present. Reasonable personal reading before a Saturday night in Washington is welcome. Commercial reuse of our wording, photographs, or graphics without written consent is not. If you quote a short passage for a genuine review, credit USA Tennis Daily and do not suggest we endorse your product or event. Credential names, telephone numbers, and venue maps that you send remain your responsibility for accuracy. Careless or invented information can delay or cancel the route.

Service description and limitations

Whether you need a same-day result wrap, scheduled preview, or regular media support, editors work carefully when the request is confirmed and within capacity. Online information is general guidance only. Actual windows, depth, and pricing depend on draw size, readiness, credentials, and capacity on the day. Availability notes after intake are practical assessments, not warranties of publication at a fixed second. We do not promise that a player will grant an interview, that an official will release a score on a particular clock time, or that every social rumour will be repeated. If a draw is postponed, moved, or affected by weather or a medical retirement, we may revise the plan or the quote. We do not provide legal, medical, betting, or official officiating advice. Photographs are illustrative. Word counts and courtside positions are discussed after intake.

Requests, quotes, and briefing confirmation

Submitting a form or email does not by itself create a confirmed briefing. Coverage becomes active only after the desk confirms the package, price basis, source readiness, and any special reporting notes. Quotes may be provisional until draw size and extras are verified. If later information proves inaccurate, we may revise the quote, reschedule, or decline the job. A quote is usually valid only for the window stated in the reply. Payment instructions, if issued, must be followed before an editor travels unless another sequence was agreed in writing. A draft recap is not the finished story. If you ask us to hold a surprise feature, name who should receive confirmation and who must not. If several organisations claim the same draw, we may pause until authority is clear. We may decline coverage that would require us to ignore safety briefings or invent a result that has not been announced.

Customer responsibilities

You are responsible for accurate draw descriptions, working contact numbers, lawful authority to book, and disclosure of embargoes or restricted player access. Do not leave unofficial scores in a public message. Follow editor directions about press-row limits. If nobody is present and no safe alternative was agreed, the booking may be treated as a missed arrival. USA Tennis Daily is not responsible for loss arising from undeclared embargoes or misdescribed draws. Tell us if a player is making a debut, returning from injury, or contesting a vacant ranking place. Do not ask us to hide a doping finding, walkover, or default that has already been announced. Do not supply stolen photographs or another publication's copy. If you move the venue from Pennsylvania Avenue, give the new address early. Hosts who leave editors waiting without notice may be charged under the refund rules discussed at booking. Keep names spelled correctly so the published recap matches the official draw.

No legal advice

Content on this website explains editorial process and routing. It does not replace advice from an attorney, insurer, sanctioning body, or requesting organisation. Nothing here is a legal opinion about contracts, prize disputes, or workplace policies. If your briefing relates to a regulated process, confirm those requirements with the relevant professional before booking. Staff may clarify operational steps only. We do not arbitrate player contracts, certify venue safety, or advise on tax treatment of an invoice. If a dispute arises about whether a quote was on the record, the written confirmation from the desk is the reference we will use. These terms do not create an attorney-client relationship. Covering tennis in the United States does not mean we practice law in any state or that we can represent you before a commission.

Intellectual property and privacy

All text, logos, icons, photographs, and other materials on this website are owned by USA Tennis Daily or used under permission. You may view pages for a genuine coverage enquiry, but you may not copy or commercially exploit site content without written consent. Contact details submitted through the site are handled for review and response. By contacting us you consent to being reached about your request. Do not include unnecessary sensitive inventories in the first public message. Player images and court pictures illustrate tennis news and are not a licence for merchandise or another newsroom. If you send photographs, you confirm that you may share them for the briefing. Personal information is handled under our Privacy Policy. We do not sell mailing lists. We may keep operational notes that help the next editor understand a recurring draw.

Liability and exclusions

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable United States law, USA Tennis Daily is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from website use or reliance on general online information. For confirmed briefings, liability related to loss, damage, or delay is limited to the terms communicated at booking, and may be further limited where unofficial notes were left unattended or the draw arrived unready. Nothing excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, including non-waivable consumer rights under District of Columbia law where those rights apply. We are not liable for a player withdrawing, a later-amended score, travel booked before confirmation, or lost betting stakes. If we are found liable for a proven direct loss caused by our confirmed service, aggregate liability for that briefing is limited to the amount you paid us for it, except where the law does not allow that limit. Force majeure includes severe weather, civic disruption, venue closure, and transport shutdowns that prevent an editor from reaching 1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW or the named court.

Changes, governing law, and contact

We may update these Terms of Use from time to time. The version published on this page is current. These terms are governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, United States, and the courts located in Washington, D.C. have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory consumer forum that the law preserves. Questions may be sent to [email protected], +1 202 628 9100, or 1401 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20004, United States. Our news desk operates Monday to Sunday, 8:00 to 20:00 Eastern Time. The English version on this page controls. If a court finds one clause unenforceable, the remaining clauses still apply. A separately signed media account schedule can add commercial detail but does not cancel consumer rights that the law keeps in place.
