Terms of Use
Last updated 8 September 2026
By using Chains Out you agree to these terms. They are short on purpose.
What this is
Chains Out is a tool for building your own fantasy football player valuations. It turns the choices you make into a set of rankings and a trade calculator that argue from your opinions rather than from a crowd's.
It is run by Dale Evans, a sole trader in the United Kingdom.
What it is not
This is not betting advice, and it is not financial advice. Chains Out values fantasy football assets for fantasy football leagues. It does not tell you what to bet on, it takes no wagers, and nothing in it should be used to decide a gambling stake.
It is also not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the National Football League, the NFL Players Association, any NFL club, Sleeper, MyFantasyLeague, ESPN, Yahoo, or any fantasy platform. Player names and statistics are facts about public sporting events. Team names and marks belong to their owners.
Your account
- You must be 13 or older.
- One person, one account. Keep your password to yourself.
- You are responsible for what happens under your account.
- You can delete it at any time, and we will delete everything in it.
Your data is yours
Your answers, rankings and boards belong to you. We claim no ownership of them. You can export the lot at any moment from the Export screen without asking us.
We use anonymous, aggregated patterns — how people rank positions, which games get played — to improve the app. Nothing that identifies you is ever published or sold.
The free plan and the ad-free plan
- The app is free and paid for by advertising.
- The ad-free plan is $3 per month, cancellable at any time, and removes the adverts. It changes nothing else — no feature is behind it.
- Payment is handled by a third-party provider. Their terms cover the payment itself.
- Cancel and the ads come back at the end of the period you have paid for. We do not give partial refunds for an unused part of a month, but if something has gone wrong, email us and we will sort it out.
Fair use
Please do not:
- Scrape the site or hammer the API automatically
- Try to break into other people's accounts
- Resell or redistribute the valuations as your own product
- Use it for anything illegal
We may suspend an account doing any of the above.
No guarantees
Chains Out is provided as it is. We work hard to keep the data accurate and the site up, but we cannot promise either. Statistics come from public data sources and may contain errors. Valuations are opinions — yours, mathematically organised — not predictions.
We are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the app, including losing your fantasy league. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to what you have paid us in the previous twelve months.
Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud, because the law does not allow that and nor would we want to.
Ending it
You can stop using it and delete your account whenever you like. We can suspend an account that breaks these terms. If we ever shut the service down we will give reasonable notice and a way to export everything first.
The legal bits
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.
If a term changes materially we will say so in the app. Carrying on using it after that means you accept the change.
