Terms Of Service

1. Acceptance Of These Terms

By creating an account, checking the consent box at sign-up, or otherwise using EuroScout Pro, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not create an account or use the platform. When we make material changes, we'll ask account holders to reconfirm the current version before continuing to use features that collect additional personal data.

2. Who We Are

EuroScout Pro is operated by a sole trader established in the United Kingdom. The proprietor's full name and trading address are being finalised and will be published here; in the meantime you can reach the operator at info@euroscoutpro.com, and we will provide those details on request.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old, or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction if higher, to create an account. By registering, you confirm you meet this requirement and that all information you provide is accurate. Where a player is under 18, the account must be created and managed by a parent, legal guardian or a club official with written authority, and that adult accepts these Terms on the player's behalf.

4. Account Responsibility

Users are responsible for accurate account information, lawful use of the platform, and keeping login credentials secure. Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access to your account. You are responsible for activity carried out through your account.

5. Recruitment Use — No Guaranteed Outcomes

EuroScout Pro is a discovery and communication platform. It is not a sports agency, agent, intermediary, scouting service, employment agency or immigration adviser, and it does not act on behalf of any player, club or coach in any negotiation. We do not represent users, do not negotiate terms for them, and take no commission, fee or share of any transfer, contract or placement that arises from a connection made on the platform. In particular:

• No offer, contract, trial, roster place, scholarship, transfer or employment outcome is guaranteed, promised or implied by using the platform, by holding a Premium subscription, or by any visibility, ranking or recommendation feature.
• Nothing on the platform is immigration advice. Visa, work-permit, residency and eligibility outcomes are determined solely by the relevant authorities and governing bodies, and you must take your own independent professional advice before acting.
• Clubs and players are responsible for complying with the rules of their own leagues, federations and governing bodies, including any registration windows, eligibility rules and approach or tampering restrictions.
• Any agreement reached between users is strictly between those users. We are not a party to it, do not verify it, and are not responsible for its performance.

6. Account Types And Verification

Different account types carry different rights and restrictions:

• Player accounts are self-asserted. The profile must describe the actual account holder (or, for a minor, the player the responsible adult is acting for). Statistics, measurements and combine figures you enter are your own representations and are not independently verified by us.
• Club and staff accounts must be held by someone authorised to represent that club. Claiming a club profile and gaining a verified badge requires evidence of that authority, and access can be reviewed, restricted or revoked at any time if the authority ends or cannot be confirmed.
• Unclaimed club listings are compiled from publicly available league and federation sources so the directory is useful before a club joins. They are labelled as not written or approved by the club, and a club can claim, correct or request removal of its listing at any time.
• Observer and fan accounts can browse public profiles but do not receive club recruitment tools.
• A verified badge is a trust signal, not a warranty. It records that we saw evidence of authority at a point in time; it is not a guarantee of any club's conduct, solvency, licensing or the accuracy of anything it publishes.

7. Content Standards And Acceptable Use

Profiles, film links, messages and club content must be truthful, lawful and respectful. You agree not to:

• Post false, misleading or impersonated profile information, or misrepresent your role at, or authority to act for, a club.
• Upload film or media you do not have the right to share, or that shows an identifiable person who has not agreed to appear.
• Send recruitment spam: bulk, repetitive or untargeted outreach, automated messaging, or continuing to contact a user who has asked you to stop.
• Harass, threaten, abuse or discriminate against another user through messaging, calls or public content.
• Induce a player to breach a contract they are already under, or approach a contracted player where the rules of the relevant league or federation require their club's permission first.
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits, messaging quotas, security controls or moderation systems.
• Scrape, harvest, resell or redistribute platform data — including profile data, contact details and statistics — outside of ordinary, permitted use.
• Use the platform for any unlawful purpose, including in a way that would violate another user's data protection rights.

8. Enforcement

Where we consider these Terms to have been broken, our response is proportionate to what happened and to any risk to other users. Depending on severity and history that may mean a warning, removal of specific content, restriction of a feature such as messaging, suspension of an account, revocation of a club claim and its verified status, or permanent termination. We may act without prior notice where it is necessary to prevent harm, protect another user, or comply with the law. If you believe a decision was wrong, you can appeal by writing to info@euroscoutpro.com and we will review it.

9. Your Content And Our Licence To Use It

You keep ownership of everything you submit — profile details, statistics, photographs, film links and messages. By submitting content you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable and sub-licensable licence (sub-licensable only to the hosting, storage, media and delivery providers we use to run the service) to host, store, cache, reproduce, adapt for formatting or transcoding, display and distribute that content for the purpose of operating, securing and promoting the platform — for example showing your public profile to other users, or featuring it in EuroScout Pro marketing. The licence lasts while the content is on the platform and ends when you remove it, save that removal takes effect going forward and may not immediately purge cached, backup or already-shared copies. Responsibility for the content sits with you:

• You warrant that you own, or have a licence covering, every clip, photograph and statistic you upload — including footage filmed by a school, club, league, opponent or third-party film service, which is usually owned by whoever filmed it, not by the player appearing in it.
• You warrant that you have the necessary permissions from every identifiable person shown in media you upload, and from a parent or guardian where that person is a minor.
• You are solely liable for copyright, image-rights, privacy or publicity claims arising from content you upload, and any such claim is covered by the indemnity in section 15.
• If you believe content on EuroScout Pro infringes your rights, write to info@euroscoutpro.com identifying the content and the right you hold. We aim to acknowledge within five working days, will remove or restrict content where a claim appears well-founded while we investigate, and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

10. Club Names, Logos And League Data

EuroScout Pro refers to clubs, leagues and competitions by their real names, and may display club crests and league marks, purely to identify the team or competition being referred to. This is nominative use for the purpose of describing and indexing European American football. No sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation or partnership with any club, league or federation is claimed or implied, and all names, crests and marks remain the property of their respective owners. Directory information about clubs that have not joined the platform is compiled from publicly available league and federation sources and is labelled as such. Any club may ask us to correct or remove its listing, crest or data by writing to info@euroscoutpro.com.

11. Messaging And Video Calls

Keep recruitment conversations professional. Video call rooms (powered by Daily.co) are intended for platform-related recruitment and negotiation discussions between authorised participants only, and may be subject to reasonable usage limits. Do not record a call without the informed agreement of everyone on it — in several European jurisdictions recording without consent is a criminal offence.

12. Premium Subscriptions And Billing

EuroScout Pro is free to use at the standard tier. Two optional paid plans are offered — Player Premium and Club Premium — and their current prices are shown at checkout before you pay. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never receive or store your full card details.

• Billing cycle: subscriptions are charged in advance on a recurring basis and renew automatically at the then-current price at the start of each billing period until cancelled.
• Cancelling: you can cancel at any time through the Stripe billing portal linked from your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for, and Premium features remain available until then.
• Refunds: except where the law requires otherwise, fees already charged are non-refundable and there is no refund for a partial billing period.
• Right of withdrawal: consumers in the UK and EU normally have 14 days to withdraw from a distance contract. Because access to Premium features begins immediately, you are asked to agree at checkout that performance starts at once and you acknowledge losing that right once the subscription has been supplied. Before you use any Premium feature, the 14-day right still applies — contact us and we will refund in full.
• Promotional codes may be offered from time to time; they apply only as stated at redemption and can be withdrawn or limited.
• Price changes take effect at your next renewal and we will tell you beforehand, so you have the opportunity to cancel first.
• Failed payment: if a renewal payment fails and is not recovered, the account returns to the standard tier. Standard-tier limits then apply — currently 5 new conversations every 7 days with 3 replies included per thread, and 3 advanced recruiting searches every 7 days. These limits may change as the product develops.
• Downgrading does not delete your data. Your profile, messages and watchlists remain; features exclusive to Premium simply stop being available.

13. Intellectual Property

The EuroScout Pro name, logo, design and underlying software are our property or that of our licensors. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of that intellectual property to you, beyond the limited licence to use the platform as intended.

14. Disclaimers

The platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any recruitment outcome will result from your use of it. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded — and if you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

15. Limitation Of Liability And Indemnity

To the maximum extent permitted by law, EuroScout Pro and its officers, employees and service providers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or recruiting opportunity, arising from your use of the platform. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or £100. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim, loss or demand, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. Where you are acting as a consumer rather than on behalf of a club or business, this indemnity applies only to the extent the claim results from your own deliberate or negligent act.

16. Moderation

EuroScout Pro may moderate profiles, investigate reports, restrict accounts, revoke club claims, or remove content to protect users and platform integrity, at our reasonable discretion and in line with section 8.

17. Termination

You may stop using the platform and request account deletion at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, pose a security risk, or where required by law, with notice where reasonably practicable. On termination your public profile stops being displayed; our handling of the underlying data is described in the Privacy Policy, and any sections of these Terms intended to survive termination — including the licence granted for content still in circulation, disclaimers, liability limits and the indemnity — continue to apply.

18. Governing Law And Disputes

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of them or their subject matter, are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. If you use the platform as a consumer resident in the European Union or elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection rules of your country of residence, and you may also bring proceedings in your local courts. We would always rather resolve a problem directly, so please contact us first at info@euroscoutpro.com.

19. General

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your account or these Terms to anyone else without our consent; we may transfer them to a successor if the platform is reorganised or acquired, and will tell you if that happens. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, are the entire agreement between us about the platform. We are not liable for failures caused by events genuinely outside our reasonable control.

20. Changes To These Terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves. Material changes are reflected in a new terms version (this version: 2026-09-11) and, where you hold an account, you will be asked to reconfirm the current version the next time it materially changes.
