Terms of Use

By accessing or using The Sidelines website or app, you agree to the following terms:

1. Who we are

The Sidelines (the “Service”, “we”, “us”) operates the websites "thesidelines.co.uk", "thesidelines.app", "The Sidelines" app on Android and related apps/tools. Contact: info@thesidelines.app.

2. Purpose of the Service

This Service is provided as a tool for grassroots sports analytics and management. By using the Service, you agree that any data you upload, including match statistics and related information, becomes the property of the app owner.

This is a new service and we regularly improve and correct it as issues are identified. The Service is provided on an ‘as is’ basis. While we aim for all calculations, data and outputs to be accurate, errors may occur and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any loss, damage or other consequence arising from any inaccurate or incomplete information on the Service.

3. Data Privacy

You are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws when entering any personal information (such as player names). If the data pertains to children, you confirm you have appropriate authority and consents (for example, from a parent/guardian, or your club) to input that data.

4. Intellectual Property

All content, including text, graphics, logos, and designs, is owned by the app owner and protected under intellectual property laws. Unauthorised reproduction is prohibited.

5. Acceptable use

You must not: (a) breach any law or third-party rights; (b) try to access accounts or data you don’t control; (c) copy, scrape, or reverse-engineer the Service; (d) upload unlawful, defamatory, or infringing content; or (e) attempt to overload or disrupt the Service.

6. Termination

We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or misuse the Service. You may stop using the Service at any time and can request deletion of your personal data as set out in the Privacy Policy (below).

7. Third-party services

The Service may rely on third-party providers, including hosting, analytics, authentication and payment processing services. Their terms, conditions and privacy practices may apply in addition to these Terms.

8. Trials and subscriptions

Some features of the Service may require a trial or paid subscription. Trial availability, duration and eligibility may be changed, limited or withdrawn at our discretion.

Paid subscriptions may renew automatically unless cancelled before the next billing date. Access to paid features may be reduced, suspended or removed if a subscription is cancelled, expires, or a payment is unsuccessful.

9. Payments, cancellations and refunds

Web payments are currently processed by Stripe. If you use a paid subscription, Stripe’s terms and privacy notice may also apply.

You may cancel renewal of a paid subscription at any time. Cancellation will usually stop future renewals but will not normally create a refund for the current billing period unless required by law. Refund requests may be considered at our discretion.

10. Privacy Policy

By using the Service, you consent to us using the data you enter into the app. Our approach is to collect as little personal data as possible. To operate the Service, this may include your email address, name, team information, billing or contact information, and other information you submit. Payment-related information may also be processed by third-party payment providers.

If you would like to know what data we hold about you, or if you would like us to remove your data, please contact us at info@thesidelines.app.
