Terms of service

These terms govern access to the transferlink database and related services. They apply between transferlink (“we”) and the organisation that subscribes (“you”, “the Client”). By accessing the service you accept them.

1. What the service is

transferlink is a directory of the people responsible for squad building and transfers at professional football clubs, together with the source and verification date of each record. We are an information provider and an introducer. We do not represent players, we do not act as a football agent or intermediary, and we do not negotiate, conclude or broker transfers or employment contracts.

2. Access and licence

Subject to payment, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the database for the internal business purposes of your own agency, for the duration of your subscription.

Access is granted to named individuals at your organisation. Login details are personal and may not be shared. You are responsible for everything done under your access.

3. What you may not do

• Resell, sublicense, publish, distribute or otherwise make the database or any part of it available to any third party
• Incorporate any part of it into a product or service you offer to others
• Use it to build, train or improve a competing database or service
• Extract it by automated means, including scraping, crawling or bulk export beyond the export functions we provide
• Remove or obscure any source attribution

These restrictions survive termination. Breach entitles us to suspend access immediately.

4. Accuracy — what we do and do not promise

Every record carries its source, the date it was verified and a confidence rating, and we maintain the dataset with care. Football moves quickly: people change clubs, roles are restructured and announcements are delayed. We therefore provide the data as it stood on the verification date shown and do not warrant that a record is correct at the moment you use it.

We give no guarantee that any introduction will be made, answered, or result in a transfer, trial, contract or income of any kind.

5. Your own compliance

You use the data at your own responsibility and remain the controller of any personal data you take from it. That includes complying with data protection law in your own outreach, with the FIFA Football Agent Regulations and any applicable national agent regulations, and with the marketing and anti-spam rules of the countries you contact.

You will not use the data to harass any individual, and you will honour any request from a listed person to stop contacting them.

6. Fees and payment

Our commercial model, fees, currency and billing frequency are agreed in writing before access is granted and are set out in your order confirmation. Invoices are payable within the period stated on the invoice. All amounts are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. We may suspend access if an invoice remains unpaid after written reminder.

7. Term and termination

The subscription runs for the term stated in your order confirmation and renews for the same period unless either party gives notice at least one month before the end of the term. Either party may terminate immediately for material breach that is not remedied within 14 days of written notice. On termination your access ends and you must delete any copies you hold.

8. Confidentiality

Each party keeps the other's non-public information confidential. We will not disclose which players or markets you are working on, and we do not share your enquiries with other clients. You keep the contents of the database confidential.

9. Liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or any other liability that cannot be limited by law.

Subject to that, our total liability arising out of the service is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including lost profit, lost transfers, missed commission, lost business opportunity or reputational damage.

10. Changes

We may amend these terms. We will notify you at least 30 days before a change takes effect. If a change materially disadvantages you, you may terminate with effect from the date the change takes effect.

11. Governing law

Dutch law applies. Disputes are submitted to the competent court in the Netherlands, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.
