Terms of use

These terms describe use of FootLink by players, guardians, recruiters, clubs, academies and organisations. Read them with the privacy notice before applying. Contact FootLink if you cannot agree to a term or need clarification.

Provide accurate information, keep sign-in details private and use only accounts or organisations you are authorised to represent. Report account misuse. A parent or legal guardian should oversee an under-18 player’s participation; a recruiter must not bypass guardian contact decisions.

Applications and uploaded media are subject to review. Application approval, membership payment and verification are separate decisions. A paid package does not purchase a verified badge or endorsement. Statistics and achievements are player-submitted unless specifically labelled as verified.

FootLink does not guarantee discovery, exposure, scouting, trials, contracts, representation, scholarships or recruitment outcomes. Clubs, recruiters and players remain responsible for their own evaluations and agreements.

Free membership provides a minimal player identity. Standard is R59 once-off; Advanced is R129 once-off; Elite is provisionally R199–R249 once-off, with the exact amount to be confirmed before payment. These player packages are not monthly or annual subscriptions.

A once-off price is not a promise of lifetime service or permanently unchanged features. No additional purchase is authorised simply by selecting a package. The information a recruiter can see depends on both the player’s package and the recruiter’s access.

Individual recruiters use Scout at R299/month or Professional at R799/month. Clubs, academies and agencies apply for the Club / Agency workspace at R2,499/month. Annual recruiter pricing is ten monthly payments for a twelve-month period. See membership details for package scope.

The primary organisation contact submits an application for review and onboarding. Staff permissions and the requested number of users must be confirmed during onboarding; no unlimited-seat entitlement is promised. Workspace membership does not automatically enrol every academy player in a paid player package.

Card payments are not live yet. A saved package selection is an enquiry awaiting payment, not a charge or paid entitlement. It can be withdrawn from billing. Paid activation requires a confirmed payment; application and verification review remain separate.

When recurring billing launches, its checkout must disclose the amount, billing interval and renewal terms before payment. Planned recurring upgrades apply immediately; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the paid period. These recurring rules do not turn player packages into subscriptions.

Match recording, media projects and match analysis are paid add-ons, not included membership allowances. Each project requires a separate quote. Requesting a quote is not payment or a confirmed booking.

AI may assist with a draft, but an administrator must approve every reply and price before it reaches the player. Scope, timing, payment and cancellation terms must be agreed for the specific project before work is booked; FootLink does not invent performance scores or statistics.

No payment is currently taken by the package-selection flow. For future payment issues, mistaken charges, service cancellations or refund requests, contact FootLink with your account and transaction or quote reference. Do not send card details.

Applicable consumer rights are not excluded by these terms. A paid checkout or service quote must state its applicable cancellation and refund conditions before you accept it. No blanket “no refunds” rule or unconfirmed refund deadline is imposed here.

You retain rights you hold in your submitted content and authorise its use for the profile, review and recruitment functions you request, within permitted account visibility. Upload only content you own or have permission to use; obtain relevant guardian and footage permissions.

Do not impersonate people, falsify credentials or statistics, harass users, publish personal contact details without permission, upload unlawful material, scrape player information or bypass access restrictions. Recruiter access is for legitimate football recruitment—not resale or unrelated marketing.

Report inaccurate information, harmful content or unauthorised media through our contact channels. FootLink may review, restrict or remove accounts or content involved in misuse. Contact us if you believe a restriction is mistaken.

Access may be interrupted for maintenance or technical problems. Recruitment decisions, external meetings and agreements between users are not controlled by FootLink. Verify identities and credentials independently, and report suspicious approaches.

Nothing in these terms removes rights or liabilities that applicable law does not permit to be excluded. South African law applies where applicable, including consumer and privacy protections. Material new payment terms must be shown before you accept a purchase. The date above identifies this version; questions and disputes can be raised through FootLink contact.
