Terms, refund policy and privacy

What you are buying, and what I owe you

Every promise the presale page makes is written out here in the same words, so the two can be compared. If they ever disagree, the more generous one to you is the one that applies.

What you are buying

One prepaid season of access to Gridiron Edge for the 2026 NFL season: the draft and auction screens, the waiver policy, weekly lineup calls and the outlook. Season covers up to three leagues; Multi-League covers four or more.

Access is immediate. Every part of the product — draft and auction calls, the waiver policy, weekly lineup calls and the outlook — is live now and lands in your account when you pay; 17 August 2026 is a price change, not a launch. Access runs to the end of the 2026 fantasy season. It is a season, not a subscription: nothing renews automatically, nothing charges you again, and there is no in-season upsell.

ESPN and Sleeper are the supported platforms; no other platform is promised or scheduled. Snake and auction rooms are both live on both, including keeper and superflex/2QB formats. They differ in one respect worth stating plainly: ESPN auctions run automatically through the extension, while Sleeper's API shows finished sales rather than the live bid, so on Sleeper you tap the player on the block to get your ceiling for that lot and everything else — budgets, rosters, inflation — tracks itself. If your league is on Yahoo or anywhere else, the product will not read it, and buying on the expectation that it eventually will is exactly the purchase this page is trying to prevent.

The free trial

You can run Gridiron Edge against an ESPN or Sleeper mock draft without paying and without a card. It is the whole product on a real room — the same board, the same engine and the same calls your league would get — so that you can judge it before any money changes hands rather than after.

What the trial does not include is the season: the weekly refresh, the waiver policy, the lineup calls and the outlook all require a paid license, and the trial evaluation runs on the bundled player set rather than the refreshed one.

Money back

Full refund within fourteen days, or any time before you attach a live draft room — whichever comes first. No reason required, no form, no argument: mail support@gridironedge.app and it is returned. The window closes at the live draft room because a draft is the one thing you cannot un-run — everything before it is reversible, which is what makes buying early safe rather than brave.

Both windows are deliberate, and this is the trade-off stated plainly. The free practice room and mock drafts mean nobody has to buy blind, so the refund exists for the change of mind rather than for the trial. If you attach a live room on day one, you have had the irreversible half of the product and the refund is spent.

If you bought during the presale and it cannot read your league, you are refunded whenever you find out. Presale buyers paid before the trial existed, so they are covered for the one thing the trial would have shown them.

Price

Season has three prices and three dates, and the one you pay is the one you keep. $39 per season until 23:59 Eastern on 16 August 2026; $49 per season from 17 August 2026 until 23:59 Eastern on 7 September 2026; $59 per season from 8 September 2026. Whatever you pay is your renewal rate for every season after this one, and nobody who has paid is ever charged a higher rate. Every figure and its date is printed on your receipt so the change is checkable rather than asserted.

Multi-League has two. $89 per season until 23:59 Eastern on 16 August 2026, and $119 per season from 17 August 2026. It does not have the intermediate rate that Season has, and it holds for renewals the same way: buy at $89 and you renew at $89.

From week 4 of the 2026 season there is a $49 rest-of-season license for new buyers. It is the same product for what remains of the season, priced for what remains of it.

Whatever you pay is held for renewals rather than being an introductory rate that expires. If you buy at $39 and renew in a later season, you pay $39. Prices change only for new buyers; nobody who has paid is ever charged again, and there is no in-season upsell to anyone who holds a license.

There is no membership cap and there never was. A cap you cannot count is a number you are being asked to trust, which is the opposite of what this product is for.

What this is not

Every figure the product shows is a modelled estimate from simulation over historical seasons. None of it is a prediction of your season, a guarantee of any outcome, or advice about money you have staked on a league. You can follow every call it makes and finish last; that is what a distribution means.

Gridiron Edge is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any professional league, players' association or fantasy platform, and it is not for use where wagering on fantasy contests is unlawful.

Privacy

What is held: your email address, your order, and the league data the product needs to price your board — rosters, budgets, transactions and settings. That is all, and it is used to run your leagues rather than to build a profile of you.

If you give me your email for a draft reminder, it is used for that reminder and for a note when the price moves. Two emails, one click to stop, and the address is not passed anywhere else.

Your platform password is never asked for and never held. Private leagues are read by a bookmarklet running in your own browser session, which is why the password stays where it belongs.

The site keeps anonymous visit counts through Plausible, which uses no cookies and identifies nobody. Google Ads conversion tracking also runs, so I can tell which ad brought you here and whether it led to a purchase; it sets a cookie to do that, and it is the only cookie on the site. Those two are the whole of the measurement.

Nothing is sold. Nothing is shared with an advertiser beyond that conversion signal, which tells Google an order happened and nothing about who you are. Payment is handled by the payment processor, which sees your card; I do not. Ask for your data to be deleted at any time and it is deleted, along with the leagues attached to it.
