Terms of Service

Last updated: March 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using CourtSide (“the Platform”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.

We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

2. Account Registration

To submit reviews or access certain features, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current information during registration
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access
  • Not create multiple accounts for the same person

Player accounts require an invite code from an existing player or a CourtSide team invite link.

3. Reviews & Content

When submitting reviews (“Scouting Reports”), you agree to:

  • Write honest, factual reviews based on your personal experience
  • Not include defamatory, threatening, or discriminatory content
  • Not identify yourself or other players by full name in reviews
  • Not submit fake reviews or reviews for clubs you have not played for
  • Accept that reviews may be moderated and removed if they violate guidelines

By submitting content, you grant CourtSide a non-exclusive, worldwide license to display, distribute, and use the content in connection with the Platform.

4. Salary Data

Salary information is treated with special care:

  • Individual salary reports are never displayed publicly
  • Only aggregated, anonymized benchmarks are shown (minimum 5 reports per group)
  • Salary data is stored separately from identifying information
  • You may delete your salary data at any time via your dashboard

5. Premium Subscriptions

Certain features require a paid subscription (“Premium”). By subscribing:

  • You authorize recurring charges according to your selected billing cycle
  • You may cancel at any time — access continues until the current period ends
  • Refunds are available within 14 days of initial purchase (EU consumer rights)
  • Prices may change with 30 days' advance notice

6. Termination

You may delete your account at any time through your dashboard settings. Upon deletion:

  • Your profile and personal data will be permanently removed
  • Published reviews will be anonymized (author removed) but may remain visible
  • Active premium subscriptions will be cancelled without refund for the current period

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or our community guidelines.

7. Limitation of Liability

CourtSide is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind. We are not responsible for:

  • Decisions made based on reviews or salary data on the Platform
  • Accuracy of user-submitted content
  • Temporary unavailability of the Platform
  • Loss of data beyond what is required by applicable law

Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding any claim.

8. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of Berlin, Germany, unless mandatory consumer protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.
