Splobe Terms and Conditions

Welcome to Splobe (“Splobe”, "SPLOBE", "we", "us", or "our").

Splobe is a sports and games community and networking platform that helps players, parents and legal guardians, coaches, clubs, training centers, teams, sporting or gaming venues, and other sports organizations discover, connect, communicate, organize, and participate in sports or game related activities.

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Splobe website, Progressive Web Application (PWA), mobile applications, social media pages, services, and related features (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, creating or managing a profile, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms.

If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility and Age Requirements

You must meet the minimum age requirements applicable to your country or location to create and maintain an account individually on Splobe.

Where permitted by applicable law, users between the ages of 13 and 18 may create and manage their own player profile, subject to the parental or legal guardian consent process described in these Terms.

Users below the applicable minimum age may not create or operate an independent account unless permitted by applicable law and supported by an appropriate parent or legal guardian account or consent mechanism.

Splobe may establish different age requirements, consent requirements, verification procedures, or feature restrictions for particular countries or regions in order to comply with applicable laws and protect younger users.

We may request age, identity, parental or guardian information, or other information necessary to determine eligibility for the Service or particular features.

Providing false information about age, identity, parental or guardian status, or authorization is prohibited.

2. Accounts and Account Responsibility

You are responsible for providing accurate information when creating an account or profile.

You must not:

• Create an account using another person's identity without authorization;
• Impersonate another person, player, parent, guardian, coach, club, training center, venue, team, or organization;
• Create false or misleading profiles;
• Circumvent age or consent requirements;
• Share your account credentials with unauthorized persons;
• Create accounts for fraudulent or abusive purposes; or
• Use another person's account without permission.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account, subject to applicable law.

If you believe that your account has been accessed or used without authorization, you should notify us promptly.

3. Player Profiles

Splobe allows users to create player profiles to represent themselves or, where permitted, another player.

A player profile may contain information such as:

• Name or display name;
• Age or age category;
• Gender, where voluntarily provided and permitted;
• Sports, games and playing interests;
• Playing position or role;
• Skills and abilities;
• Achievements;
• Competition history;
• Teams, clubs, or training centers;
• Coaching, venues or training information;
• Profile photographs;
• Photos, Videos or other sports-related content; and
• Other information voluntarily provided by the user.

Users should only provide information that is appropriate and reasonably necessary for the intended purpose of the Service.

Users should avoid publishing unnecessary sensitive information, particularly information that could create a safety or privacy risk for a minor.

4. Self-Created Profiles for Users Between 13 and 18

Where Splobe permits a person between the ages of 13 and 18 to create their own player profile, the user may be required to provide a valid email address belonging to a parent or legal guardian.

Splobe may send a parental or legal guardian consent email to the email address provided.

The minor's account will remain pending or inactive for applicable features until the parent or legal guardian completes the required consent process by following the link or instructions provided in the consent email.

By providing a parent's or legal guardian's email address, the minor represents that:

• The person identified is their parent or legal guardian;
• The email address belongs to that parent or legal guardian; and
• The information provided is accurate to the best of their knowledge.

A parent or legal guardian who approves the account represents that they have the legal authority to provide the required consent.

Splobe may request additional information or verification where required by applicable law or where reasonably necessary to protect the minor or the Service.

If parental or guardian consent is not obtained within the applicable period, Splobe may keep the account inactive, restrict its features, or delete the pending account and associated information, subject to applicable law.

5. Profiles Created for Minors by Parents, Legal Guardians, Coaches, Clubs, Training Centers, Teams, or Other Adults

Where permitted by applicable law, Splobe may allow a parent, legal guardian, coach, club, training center, team, or other authorized adult or organization to create a player profile for a minor.

When a person or organization other than the minor creates a profile for a minor, the person creating the profile may be required to confirm that they have obtained the necessary permission or consent from the player and minor's parent or legal guardian.

By completing the applicable consent declaration or checkbox, the person creating the profile confirms and represents that:

• They have obtained the necessary permission or consent from player and the minor's parent or legal guardian to create the profile and provide the minor's information to Splobe;
• They are authorized to create or manage the minor's profile for the stated purpose;
• The information provided about the minor is accurate to the best of their knowledge; and
• They understand that Splobe may request evidence of such permission or consent where reasonably necessary or required by applicable law.

The person or organization providing this confirmation is responsible for ensuring that the consent they have obtained is genuine, appropriate, and legally sufficient for the intended use of the minor's information.

Splobe does not independently guarantee the validity of a consent declaration solely because a user or organization has completed a checkbox or confirmation.

Splobe may request documentary evidence, additional verification, direct confirmation from a parent or legal guardian, or other appropriate evidence of consent where we reasonably believe it is necessary, including in response to a complaint, dispute, safety concern, regulatory request, or legal requirement.

Splobe may suspend, deactivate, restrict, or remove a minor's profile if the required consent cannot be established or if we reasonably believe that information was provided falsely or without appropriate authority.

6. Parent and Legal Guardian Responsibility

Where a parent or legal guardian creates, approves, or manages a minor's profile, the parent or legal guardian is responsible for:

• Receiving player’s concurrence.
• Providing appropriate consent where required;
• Reviewing information displayed on the minor's profile;
• Managing available privacy and profile settings;
• Ensuring that information provided about the minor is accurate and appropriate;
• Supervising the minor's use of the Service;
• Reviewing communications and connections where appropriate;
• Reporting concerns involving the minor; and
• Requesting changes, restriction, or deletion of the minor's profile where appropriate.

Splobe does not replace parental, guardian, coaching, educational, or professional supervision.

7. Withdrawal of Parental or Guardian Consent

A parent or legal guardian may request withdrawal of consent for a minor's profile or request changes to or deletion of information relating to the minor, subject to applicable law.

Requests may be submitted through the contact details provided in our Privacy Policy or through applicable controls/contacts available within the Service.

Upon receiving a valid request, Splobe may restrict access to the minor's profile, remove particular information, deactivate the account, or delete the profile, as required or permitted by applicable law within possible time period, as per Splobe team’s work load.

Where a minor's profile was created by a coach, club, training center, team, or other organization, withdrawal of parental or legal guardian consent may result in the profile being restricted or removed even if the organization previously represented that it had obtained consent. Parents or legal guardians should contact Splobe team through contacts provided in the website or app for such cases or withdrawing minor profiles.

8. Consent Records

Where parental or legal guardian consent is required, Splobe may maintain records of the consent process.

Such records may include:

• Date and time of consent;
• Method by which consent was provided;
• Account or profile to which the consent relates;
• Email address used for the consent process;
• Consent status;
• Information relating to the person or organization who created the profile; and
• Other information reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance with applicable legal requirements.

Where a coach, club, training center, team, or other organization confirms that it has obtained parental or guardian consent, Splobe may retain the relevant confirmation and associated records.

We may request evidence of consent where necessary to investigate a complaint, respond to a legal or regulatory request, protect a minor, or verify compliance with these Terms.

9. Children's and Minors' Privacy

Splobe recognizes the importance of protecting the privacy and safety of children and minors.

Different countries and jurisdictions may have different requirements relating to the collection, use, disclosure, storage, and processing of children's personal information.

Where required by applicable law, Splobe may require parental or legal guardian consent before collecting or processing certain information relating to a child or minor.

We may provide additional safeguards, restrictions, consent mechanisms, visibility controls, or deletion mechanisms for minor accounts and profiles.

Parents and legal guardians should review our Privacy Policy carefully before creating or approving a minor's profile.

If you believe that information relating to a child has been collected, displayed, or used improperly, please contact us using the contact information provided in our Privacy Policy or website or app.

10. Information About Minors

Users must not provide unnecessary sensitive information about minors.

This may include, depending on the circumstances:

• Home address;
• Personal telephone number;
• School address or schedule;
• Precise real-time location;
• Financial information;
• Government identification numbers;
• Medical information; or
• Other information that could create an unnecessary safety or privacy risk.

Users should only provide information about minors that is appropriate and necessary for the intended purpose of the Service.

Splobe may restrict, hide, or remove information where we reasonably believe it creates a safety, privacy, or legal concern.

11. Profile Visibility

Certain profile information may be visible to other users depending on:

• Account type;
• User settings;
• Age;
• Profile settings;
• Applicable features;
• Applicable law; and
• Safety considerations.

Splobe may modify default visibility settings or restrict particular information for privacy, safety, legal, or operational reasons.

Users should carefully consider what information they choose to make publicly available.

Minor profiles may have additional visibility restrictions or safeguards.

12. Clubs, Training Centers, Coaches, Teams, and Sports Organizations

Splobe may allow clubs, academies, training centers, venues, coaches, teams, and other sports organizations to create organizational profiles and connect with players and families.

An organization or coach's presence on Splobe does not automatically constitute an endorsement, accreditation, certification, background-check guarantee, or recommendation by Splobe unless explicitly stated.

Users and parents or legal guardians are responsible for independently evaluating clubs, venues, coaches, training centers, teams, events, and other sports organizations before participating in activities or providing personal information.

Splobe does not guarantee the qualifications, conduct, safety, availability, reputation, facilities, services, or performance of any coach, club, training center, team, player, venue or organization.

Coaches, clubs, venues, training centers, teams, and organizations are responsible for ensuring that information they publish on Splobe is accurate and not intentionally misleading.

Where applicable, organizations and coaches should provide accurate information about:

• Qualifications;
• Certifications;
• Experience;
• Club or organization affiliation;
• Training services;
• Facilities;
• Teams;
• Venues;
• Sports offered; and
• Other material information presented to users.

Splobe may request supporting information or verification where appropriate.

Verification by Splobe, if offered, does not guarantee the safety, quality, qualifications, conduct, or future performance of a person or organization.

14. Sports Opportunities

Splobe may help users discover players, teams, coaches, clubs, training centers, competitions, venues, events, trials, or other sports opportunities.

Splobe does not guarantee that a player will:

• Be selected by a team;
• Be accepted by a club;
• Be offered training;
• Be selected for a competition;
• Receive coaching;
• Be recruited;
• Receive sponsorship; or
• Receive any particular sporting opportunity.

Any selection, admission, coaching arrangement, training arrangement, employment, sponsorship, trial, competition participation, or other agreement is between the relevant parties.

15. Communication and Connections

The Service may allow users to communicate or connect with other users, including players, parents, coaches, clubs, training centers, teams, venues and sports organizations.

Users must communicate respectfully and must not use this to:

• Harass, threaten, bully, intimidate, or exploit another person;
• Groom or sexually exploit minors or anyone;
• Request inappropriate photographs or personal information from minors;
• Arrange inappropriate or unsafe contact with minors;
• Engage in discriminatory or abusive conduct;
• Send spam or unsolicited commercial communications;
• Promote illegal activities;
• Misrepresent identity or qualifications; or

Splobe may restrict communication or connection features where necessary to protect minors or other users.

16. Child Safety and Prohibited Conduct

Splobe has zero tolerance for child sexual exploitation, grooming, sexual abuse, or other conduct intended to harm or exploit minors.

Users must not use the Service to:

• Sexually exploit or abuse a minor;
• Groom a minor;
• Request or exchange sexual or otherwise inappropriate content involving a minor;
• Attempt to establish inappropriate private contact with a minor;
• Encourage a minor to conceal communications or activities from their parent or legal guardian;
• Arrange unsafe or inappropriate meetings with minors;
• Threaten, blackmail, manipulate, or exploit a minor; or
• Facilitate any unlawful activity involving a minor.

Splobe may immediately restrict or terminate accounts where we reasonably believe that such conduct has occurred or may create a risk of harm.

Where appropriate or legally required, Splobe may report suspected child exploitation, abuse, or other unlawful conduct to relevant authorities or child-safety organizations.

17. Safety and Offline Activities

Splobe is a technology platform and cannot guarantee the safety of interactions, training sessions, matches, trials, events, venues or travel, or other activities arranged through the Service.

Users and parents or legal guardians should exercise appropriate caution when meeting people first encountered online.

Parents and legal guardians should use appropriate supervision when minors interact with coaches, clubs, teams, training centers, or other users or while playing at any venues.

Users should independently verify identities, qualifications, safeguarding practices, facilities, venues and other relevant information before participating in offline activities.

Splobe is not responsible for the independent actions or conduct of users or organizations outside the Service, subject to applicable law.

18. User-Generated Content

Users may create, upload, post, or otherwise provide content including:

• Achievements;
• Comments;

You may request removal of User Content subject to applicable law and our policies.

19. Photographs and Videos of Minors

Splobe is a sports platform, and photographs or videos of sports activities may naturally include players who are minors. We therefore do not prohibit the sharing of legitimate sports and games related photographs or videos solely because a minor appears in them.

Users, including players, parents or legal guardians, coaches, teammates, clubs, training centers, teams, event organizers, venue owners and other authorized persons, may upload photographs or videos involving minors where they have the necessary rights, permissions, or other lawful basis to do so.

• Team photographs;
• Tournament and competition photographs;
• Sports event photographs;
• Award and celebration photographs;

• Other legitimate sports or games related content.

When uploading content involving a minor, the person uploading the content is responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary permission, authorization, or other lawful basis to upload and share the content, where required by applicable law.

Users must not upload or share photographs or videos of minors that:

• Are sexual, exploitative, abusive, or inappropriate;
• Are intended to embarrass, harass, bully, threaten, or harm the minor;
• Reveal unnecessary sensitive personal information;
• Reveal a minor's precise location in a way that creates a safety risk;
• Misrepresent the minor or the circumstances in which the image or video was taken;
• Are used for inappropriate commercial, promotional, or other purposes without the necessary authorization; or
• Otherwise violate the minor's privacy, safety, dignity, or legal rights.

Parents or legal guardians may contact Splobe to report concerns about photographs or videos involving their child. Where appropriate, and subject to applicable law and the circumstances of the content, Splobe may restrict visibility, remove the content, or take other appropriate action.

Splobe may remove or restrict photographs or videos involving minors where we reasonably believe that the content creates a safety, privacy, exploitation, abuse, or other legal concern.

Nothing in this section is intended to prevent legitimate sharing of photographs or videos of sporting events, games, practices, teams, or other ordinary sports activities where such sharing is permitted by applicable law and appropriate permissions or other lawful bases exist.

20. Location Information

Certain features may use approximate or precise location information to help users discover nearby clubs, teams, training centers, players, events, or sports activities.

Location features may be subject to additional privacy controls.

Users should not publish a minor's precise home location or other sensitive location information unless there is a legitimate reason and appropriate authorization.

Splobe may limit the display or sharing of precise location information, particularly for minor profiles.
