1. About BallFindr

BallFindr is a football recruitment platform designed to help players and clubs discover and connect with one another.

BallFindr provides a platform for users to create profiles, search for players or clubs and communicate with other users.

These Terms apply to the BallFindr website at https://ballfindr.co.uk/ and to the BallFindr app for iPhone and Android, available from the App Store and Google Play. The website and the app are the same service, and the same account works in both.

BallFindr does not employ players, represent clubs or guarantee that a player will be offered a position or that a club will recruit a particular player.

Any agreement, trial, signing, payment, employment arrangement or other relationship between a player and a club is between those parties.
