Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Playfield platform (“Platform”) operated by Playfield. By registering an account, creating a profile, posting a job, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Contact: hello@playfield.sport

You may use the Platform only if you are at least 18 years old, legally capable of entering a binding contract, and your use does not violate any applicable law. Organisations must be legally incorporated entities.

Playfield is a talent marketplace connecting sport business professionals (“Candidates”) with organisations in the sport industry (“Employers”). The Platform enables profile creation, job posting, candidate discovery, and matching.

Playfield acts as an intermediary only. We do not employ candidates, guarantee job placement, or guarantee that any listing will result in a hire.

4.1 Talent Profiles

By creating a Profile, you confirm all information is truthful and accurate, grant Playfield a non-exclusive licence to display your Profile to Employers, and accept responsibility for keeping it up to date.

4.2 Profile Content Standards

Your Profile must not contain false or fraudulent information, infringe third-party intellectual property rights, or include confidential information belonging to a current or former employer without permission.

4.3 Candidate Fees

Access to the Platform for Candidates is currently free of charge. We will provide at least 30 days' notice of any new charges.

5.1 Job Postings

By posting a Listing, you confirm the position is genuine and available, you have authority to hire, and you accept responsibility for the accuracy of the content.

5.2 Job Posting Standards

Listings must describe a real, available position and comply with applicable employment and non-discrimination laws. Listings must not be fraudulent, misleading, or advertise positions requiring unlawful discrimination. We reserve the right to remove non-compliant Listings without refund.

5.3 Data Obligations

When you access candidate profile data, you become an independent data controller in respect of that data. You must process candidate data lawfully, comply with GDPR, and respond to candidates' data rights requests.

6.1 Fees and Processing

Fees for Employer services are published on the Platform. All fees are in Euros (EUR) exclusive of VAT. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store payment card details.

6.2 Refund Policy

Job posting fees are non-refundable once a Listing has been published and visible to candidates, except where: (a) the Platform experiences material downtime exceeding 48 hours; (b) we remove your Listing in error; or (c) applicable consumer protection law provides a right of withdrawal (EU consumers may have a 14-day cooling-off period before Listing activation).

6.3 Subscriptions

Where you purchase a subscription, you authorise recurring charges at the start of each billing period. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current period.

The Platform and its software, design, and content (excluding user-generated content) are owned by or licensed to Playfield. By submitting content, you grant Playfield a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display, and transmit that content to operate the Platform. You retain ownership of your content.

You must not use the Platform to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Infringe any intellectual property right
• Transmit spam, unsolicited communications, or malware
• Scrape or extract Platform data by automated means without our written consent
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Platform or its infrastructure
• Engage in fraudulent activity or impersonate any person or organisation

We provide the Platform on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free. We do not verify the accuracy of user-generated content and are not responsible for any reliance placed on such content.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Playfield's total liability shall not exceed the greater of: (a) total fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim, or (b) EUR 100. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable EU law.

You may stop using the Platform at any time. To delete your account, contact hello@playfield.sport. We may suspend or terminate your access if you breach these Terms or we are required to do so by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of [jurisdiction — to be confirmed by legal counsel]. EU consumers may also use the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

Material changes will be communicated by notice on the Platform or email with at least 14 days' notice before changes take effect. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
