Terms of service

Editorial purpose

The site provides general editorial information about sports economics in the United States and Europe. Content is intended for general understanding and discussion. It is not legal, financial, investment, tax or other professional advice and should not be used as a substitute for advice based on individual circumstances.

Sports regulations, competition formats, contracts and commercial arrangements can change. Although we aim to present clear and useful material, we do not promise that every page will remain complete, current or suitable for a particular purpose. Readers should consult primary rules, official decisions and qualified advisers where a decision depends on current details.

Permitted use

You may access, read, print and save reasonable extracts of the site for personal, non-commercial use. You may link to publicly available pages provided the link is fair, lawful and does not imply endorsement, partnership or approval.

You must not interfere with site security, attempt unauthorised access, introduce malicious code, overload the service, scrape the site at a rate that disrupts operation, conceal the source of automated requests or use the contact system for spam, fraud, threats or unlawful material. You must not misrepresent site content or use it in a manner that infringes another person’s rights.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the site design, original text, arrangement and code are owned by or licensed to Northline Sports Economy Publishing Ltd. Copyright and other intellectual property laws apply. No right is granted to reproduce substantial parts, republish articles, create a competing database, sell copies or remove rights notices without prior written permission.

Names of leagues, clubs, competitions, broadcasters and governing bodies may be protected by their respective owners. They are used editorially for identification and comparison. Their appearance does not indicate affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement.

Messages and submissions

When you send a correction, suggestion or other message, you confirm that you are entitled to provide it and that it is not unlawful or deliberately misleading. You retain ownership of original material in your submission. You grant us permission to review, reproduce internally and use the information as reasonably necessary to respond, investigate a correction or improve editorial content.

Do not submit confidential business information, privileged material or sensitive personal data through the general contact form. We are not obliged to publish a submission or provide an individual editorial response.

External services and links

The site may refer or link to official rules, public bodies, competitions and other third-party resources. We do not control external sites and are not responsible for their availability, security, terms or content. A link is supplied for context and does not amount to endorsement.

Availability and termination

We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site without notice. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance or investigation of misuse. We may terminate or block access by a user who breaches these terms. Provisions concerning intellectual property, liability, governing law and disputes continue after termination where their nature requires it.

Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Subject to that limitation, the site is provided on an “as available” basis. We exclude implied warranties to the extent permitted by law.

We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, business interruption, lost opportunity, loss of data or reliance on general editorial content. Where liability cannot be excluded, it will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law. These terms do not affect mandatory consumer rights.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer law allows an individual to bring proceedings in another part of the United Kingdom or their place of residence.

Before starting formal proceedings, please contact [email protected] with a description of the dispute and the requested resolution. Both sides should make a reasonable effort to resolve the matter through direct correspondence.
