Terms of Website Use

These terms cover browsing this website. Using the app itself is governed by separate terms — the Parent Terms if you hold a parent account, and the Club Terms for clubs and their coaches — and your data by our Privacy Notice, which explains how we collect, use and store your personal data.

1. This website is operated by Ruckpath Group Ltd (registered in England and Wales, company number 17374680; registered office Vaughan Chambers, Vaughan Road, Harpenden AL5 4EE) (“we”, “us”). By using the site you accept these terms and that you agree to comply with them; if you do not accept to these terms, you must not use our site. We recommend that you print a copy of these terms for future reference.

2. What the site is for. The site provides information about our platform for clubs and parents, and access to the app for signed-in users. Content is provided for general information: it is not advice, and while we try to keep it accurate and current, we make no promise that it is complete or up to date, and we may update and change from time to time or remove content at any time.

2.1 Who the site is for. These pages are written for adults — parents, coaches and club committees. The app itself is used by children, and what they see there is designed for them; this website is not.

3. Your use of the site. You agree not to: misuse the site or introduce viruses or other harmful material; attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its servers or any connected system; scrape, harvest or systematically extract data from it; or use it in any way that breaks the law. We may prevent access to the site by anyone who does. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our site through your internet connection are aware of these terms and other applicable terms of service, and that they comply with them.

4. Accounts and the app. Parts of the site require sign-in. Anything you do in the app is governed by the Parent Terms, or the Club Terms if you are a club or one of its coaches or administrators, not by this page. A child using the app does so under their parent’s account and the Parent Terms. If there is any conflict between these terms and the Parent Terms or the Club Terms, the Parent Terms or the Club Terms (as applicable) prevail over these terms or app use.

5. Our content. We own or license the content and all intellectual property rights of this website — text, design, graphics, logos and code. You may view, download and print pages for your own personal use, or to consider the platform on a club’s behalf. You may not otherwise copy or reuse our content commercially without our written permission. Club names and crests shown on the site appear with the clubs’ permission, under the Club Terms.

5.1 Content that is not ours. Material a club or its coaches place in the app — their own coaching documents, their crest and colours, their sponsors’ names and logos — belongs to them or to their sponsors, not to us. This clause does not give anyone rights over it.

6. Links. We may link to other websites for your convenience; we do not control them and are not responsible for their content. This includes any link a club places against one of its sponsors in the app. You may link to our home page fairly and lawfully, but not in a way that suggests any association or endorsement we have not given, and we may withdraw linking permission at any time.

7. Availability. The site is provided free of charge for browsing, and we do not promise it will always be available, uninterrupted or fault-free. We may suspend, withdraw or restrict the availability of all or any part of our site for business and operational reasons. We will try to give you reasonable notice of any suspension or withdrawal.

8. Our responsibility to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or fraud. Otherwise, since browsing the site is free, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. If you use the site for business purposes (for example, because you are a sports club), we exclude liability for loss of profit, business, or business opportunity. If you are a consumer or a parent using the site, none of this affects your rights under the Parent Terms once you hold an account.

9. Privacy, cookies and storage. Personal data collected through the site is handled as described in our Privacy Notice. We use only the cookies and similar browser storage needed to sign you in and keep the service secure. We use no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies and no analytics of any kind — which is why you see no cookie banner. Nothing on this site or in the app measures who saw what.

10. Changes. We may make changes to these terms. We may amend and update these terms from time to time. Every time you wish to use our site, please check these terms to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.

11. Transfer. We may transfer this Agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract.

12. Law.

12.1 If you are a consumer, these terms are governed by English law. Courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction, except that if you are a resident of Northern Ireland you may also bring proceedings in Northern Ireland, and if you are a resident of Scotland, you may also bring proceedings in Scotland.

12.2 If you are a business, these terms are governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
