By creating an account or using any part of the SportConnect Talent platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not use SportConnect Talent.

These Terms apply to all account types: athletes, parents, coaches, clubs, scouts, and federations. Additional terms may apply to paid plans and enterprise accounts. those are communicated separately during onboarding.

• You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Athletes under 18 require documented parental consent before their profile can be made active.
• You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration. Misrepresentation of identity, role, or affiliation is grounds for immediate account suspension.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Do not share your password with anyone.
• Each individual may hold one primary account. Organisations (clubs, federations) may register separate accounts for administrative purposes with prior agreement from SportConnect Talent.

All users of SportConnect Talent agree to the following:

• Honesty: Provide accurate information about your identity, role, qualifications, and affiliations. Do not impersonate any person, club, or organisation.

• Accuracy: Do not post false match statistics, fabricated achievements, or misleading performance data.
• Consent: Do not contact athletes, coaches, or clubs without using the platform's approved contact request system.

Creating a false scout, coach, or club account is one of the most serious violations of these Terms. Fake professional accounts place athlete safety. particularly minors. at direct risk.

The following are strictly prohibited and will result in permanent account termination and referral to relevant authorities:

• Creating a scout or coach account without genuine professional status or intent.
• Claiming affiliation with a club, academy, or federation that has not verified your account.
• Using false credentials (fake license numbers, fabricated club letters, invented federation memberships).
• Impersonating a known scout, agent, or sports professional.
• Contacting athletes. particularly minors. with false professional intentions.

If you suspect a fake professional account, please report it immediately using the in-app Report function or by emailing contact@sportconnecttalent.com (Contact Us. safeguarding reports).

Protecting athletes. especially young and minor athletes. is a founding principle of SportConnect Talent. All users agree to the following safety obligations:

• Do not attempt to obtain an athlete's personal contact information (phone, email, address) outside of the SportConnect Talent messaging system.
• Do not request to meet an athlete in person without the involvement of a club representative, coach, or parent.
• For minor athletes, all contact must be approved by the registered parent or guardian account. Attempting to bypass this process is a serious violation.
• Do not share athlete profiles, photos, or contact information with parties outside of SportConnect Talent without the athlete's explicit consent.

See our full Safety & Child Protection Policy for detailed safeguarding procedures.
