Legal
Terms of Use
Last updated June 22, 2026
These Terms of Use govern access to and use of the South Van FC Academy platform, an invite-only tool for players, parents and guardians, coaches, and academy staff. By using the platform you agree to these terms.
TODO (legal review): Confirm the legal entity name, business address, and whether a separate parent or guardian acknowledgement is required at registration.
1. Acceptance of these terms
TODO (legal review): State that accessing the platform, ticking the acceptance box, or using any feature means the user accepts these terms and the Privacy Policy, and that continued use after an update means acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Eligibility and accounts
Accounts are created by South Van FC and issued by invitation only. The platform is not open to public sign-up.
TODO (legal review): Describe who may hold an account (player, parent or guardian acting for a player aged 8 to 18, coach, director), the rule that minors are registered with parental or guardian consent obtained offline, and each account holder's duty to keep their login credentials confidential and report misuse.
3. Acceptable use
TODO (legal review): List prohibited conduct: sharing accounts, accessing data the user is not authorised to see, scraping or bulk export, uploading unlawful or harmful content, and any attempt to circumvent access controls. Note that the platform is for South Van FC academy purposes only.
4. Intellectual property and copyright
The platform, including its design, code, text, graphics, the South Van FC name and logo, and all training and development content, is owned by South Van FC or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. No part may be copied, reproduced, or redistributed without written permission.
TODO (legal review): Confirm ownership of player development content and any third-party assets (fonts, icons, video) and whether a limited personal-use licence should be granted to account holders.
5. User-submitted content
TODO (legal review): Cover content users add (profile photos, notes, self-reflections): the user confirms they have the right to submit it, and grants South Van FC a licence to store and use it for the purpose of running the academy. Reference the Privacy Policy for how personal data is handled.
6. Disclaimers
TODO (legal review): State that the platform is provided on an as-is basis, that South Van FC does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation, and that platform content is not a substitute for professional medical or training advice.
7. Limitation of liability
TODO (legal review): Set out the limitation of liability to the extent permitted by applicable law in British Columbia. Have a lawyer set the cap and the carve-outs.
8. Suspension and termination
TODO (legal review): Explain that South Van FC may suspend or remove access for breach of these terms or when a player leaves the academy, and what happens to the account and data on termination (cross-reference the retention section of the Privacy Policy).
9. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Disputes are subject to the courts of British Columbia.
TODO (legal review): Confirm jurisdiction and any dispute-resolution preference.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, account holders will be asked to review and accept the updated terms before continuing to use the platform.
