Website: FootballAgencies.com (the “Site”)
Contact: tim@footballagencies.com

By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1) Definitions

• “Content” means all text, profiles, data, graphics, logos, images, and other materials made available on the Site.
   
• “Directory Content” means agency/agent profiles, lists, transaction notes, and similar informational pages.
   
• “User” / “you” means any person accessing the Site.
   
• “User Submissions” means information, corrections, documents, messages, or other materials you submit to us (e.g., via forms or email).
   

2) What we do

FootballAgencies.com is an informational directory that compiles and presents profiles about football agencies, intermediaries, and related industry information. Some Content is collected from publicly available sources and/or provided by agencies, representatives, or other users.

3) Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you are under the age of majority, you must have permission from a parent/guardian.

4) No professional advice

The Site does not provide legal, financial, compliance, scouting, employment, or other professional advice. You should conduct your own due diligence and obtain professional advice where appropriate.

5) Accuracy, sources, and “transfer fee estimates” disclaimer

5.1 No guarantee of accuracy. We aim to keep Directory Content current and well-sourced, but we do not guarantee that any Content is accurate, complete, reliable, or up to date.

5.2 Transfer fees and transaction details are often estimates. Transfer fees, add-ons, sell-on clauses, bonuses, agent/intermediary fees, wage details, contract terms, and other transaction details may be based on public reporting and third-party databases and are frequently not officially confirmed. Figures shown on the Site should be treated as indicative estimates and may differ from final agreed terms.

5.3 Verification. You are responsible for verifying important information (e.g., via official club statements, league filings, agent/agency confirmations, or primary documentation).

6) User submissions (corrections, updates, and listings)

6.1 Submission license. If you submit User Submissions, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, translate, distribute, and display them in connection with operating and promoting the Site.

6.2 You promise that:

• you have the rights to submit the materials;
   
• the submission is accurate to the best of your knowledge;
   
• it does not violate any law or anyone’s rights (including privacy, publicity, or intellectual property rights);
   
• it is not confidential information you are not authorized to disclose.
   

6.3 We may refuse or edit submissions. We may accept, reject, remove, or edit submissions at our discretion, including for formatting, clarity, sourcing, or policy reasons. We are not obligated to publish any requested change.

6.4 No endorsement. Publishing a profile or update does not mean we endorse an agency, agent, service, or claim.

7) Intellectual property

7.1 Our IP. The Site, including design, layout, branding, and Content created by us, is owned by or licensed to us and protected by intellectual property laws.

7.2 Limited permission to use the Site. You may access and use the Site for personal or internal business reference use only. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from the Site except as permitted by law or with our written permission.

7.3 Trademarks. Names, logos, and marks of third parties belong to their respective owners. Their appearance does not imply affiliation or endorsement.

We may block access or take legal action for violations.

9) Scraping, API, and data access

Unless we provide written consent or an official API/license:

• automated extraction is prohibited;
   
• you may not republish substantial parts of Directory Content;
   
• you may not mirror, cache, or store the Site Content for commercial use.
   

(If you do want to allow certain use, add a “Data Licensing” section with explicit terms.)

10) Third-party links and services

The Site may link to third-party websites, platforms, or services. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk.

11) Advertising and affiliate disclosure (optional but recommended)

If the Site shows ads or uses affiliate links:

• We may display advertising and sponsored placements.
   
• Some links may be affiliate links, and we may earn a commission.
   
• Sponsored/paid placements may be labeled where required by law or policy.
   

12) Disclaimer of warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Site and all Content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind—express, implied, or statutory—including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy.

13) Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages; or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities; arising out of or related to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or Content.
   
• Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Site will not exceed [USD/EUR 100] (or the amount you paid us in the 12 months prior to the claim, if any), whichever is greater.
   

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in such cases, these limits apply to the maximum extent permitted.

14) Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from:

• your use of the Site;
   
• your User Submissions;
   
• your violation of these Terms; or
   
• your violation of any law or third-party rights.
   

15) Removal requests and complaints

If you believe Content is inaccurate, infringes rights, or should be updated:

• Contact us at tim@footballagencies.com with details, supporting documentation, and the relevant URL(s).
   
• We may request verification of identity/authority and additional evidence.
   
• We will review requests in good faith but do not guarantee removal or editing.
   

16) Copyright / IP complaints (DMCA-style, optional)

If you want a formal copyright takedown process, include:

• identification of the copyrighted work;
   
• the URL(s) of the allegedly infringing material;
   
• contact information;
   
• a statement of good faith belief;
   
• a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate;
   
• signature (physical or electronic).
   

(If you’re not US-based, you can still keep a similar notice process.)

17) Privacy and cookies

Our collection and use of personal data is described in our Privacy Policy: https://www.footballagencies.com/privacy-policy/.

We may use cookies/analytics as described in our Cookie Policy: [LINK].

If these policies conflict with these Terms on data handling, the Privacy/Cookie policies control.

18) Changes to the Site or Terms

We may modify the Site or these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted with a new effective date. Your continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

19) Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the Site at any time for any reason, including suspected violations. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity).

20) Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of EU, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in EU will have exclusive jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer laws require otherwise.

Optional arbitration clause (US-heavy): If you want arbitration/class action waiver, add it here—this is jurisdiction-sensitive and worth legal review.

21) Miscellaneous

• Severability: If any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
   
• No waiver: Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
   
• Assignment: You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger/sale.
   
• Entire agreement: These Terms, plus Privacy/Cookie policies, are the entire agreement regarding the Site.
