# Terms of Service

> This page was last updated on June. 30th, 2026

### 1. Acceptance of Terms

Fieldmeister is a brand name used for the Service. The Service is operated by Kristof Soomers, an individual based in the Netherlands. In these Terms, “Fieldmeister”, “we”, “us”, and “our” refer to Kristof Soomers operating the Fieldmeister Service, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

By accessing or using fieldmeister.com and its associated applications, APIs, and tools (the “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our [Privacy Policy](https://docs.fieldmeister.com/legal/privacy-policy), which is incorporated by reference. If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.

If you are creating an account on behalf of a club, school, or other organization, you confirm that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and “you” refers to both you individually and that organization.

### 2. Description of Service

These Terms apply to all services provided by Fieldmeister, including our coaching platform, mobile and web applications, APIs, live-scores features, and any other services we provide (collectively, the “Services”).

### 3. User Accounts

You must create an account to use certain features of the Service. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity under your account.

Coach and club administrator accounts may be used to create profiles for players, including minors, for team management purposes. By creating such profiles, you confirm you have the appropriate authority or parental/guardian consent to do so, consistent with Section 5 below.

Certain limited features of the Service may be available without creating or logging into a user account. For example, a person with a valid match code may be able to follow a specific match live. Such access is limited to the functionality made available for that match and does not create a user account, grant access to team management features, or permit access to player, coach, or club information beyond what is intentionally made available through that match code.

### 4. Children's Data and Use by Minors

#### 4.1 No direct accounts for young children

The Service is intended to be used by coaches, club administrators, and parents/guardians who manage information about athletes, including those under the age of 16. We do not knowingly allow children under 16 years old to register their own account or interact directly with the Service without the involvement of a coach, club, or parent/guardian.

#### 4.2 Player profile data

When a coach or club administrator creates a player profile, the following applies:

* Only data reasonably necessary for team management and coaching purposes should be entered (e.g., name, position, attendance, performance notes).
* The coach or club is responsible for ensuring it has a lawful basis (such as parental/guardian consent or a legitimate interest recognized under applicable club/federation rules) to enter a minor's data.
* Fieldmeister acts as a data processor with respect to player data entered by coaches and clubs, and as a data controller with respect to account data for registered users. This split of responsibility is described in full in our [Privacy Policy](https://docs.fieldmeister.com/legal/privacy-policy).

#### 4.3 Photos, video, and the tactics canvas

Where the Service allows uploading of images, video, or annotated diagrams that may include identifiable minors, such content must only be uploaded with appropriate consent from a parent or guardian, in line with the club's own policies. Fieldmeister will not use such content for marketing or any purpose beyond operating the Service without separate, explicit consent (see Section 6.2).

#### 4.4 Parental rights

Parents or guardians who believe their child's data has been entered into the Service may contact us at the address in Section 12 to request access, correction, or deletion of that data, which we will route to the relevant coach or club administrator where applicable.

### 5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

* Violate any applicable laws or regulations;
* Infringe upon the intellectual property, privacy, or other rights of others;
* Upload or transmit content that is unlawful, harassing, abusive, or otherwise objectionable;
* Upload images or information about a minor without appropriate parental or guardian consent;
* Interfere with or disrupt the Service, its servers, or its security features;
* Attempt to access another user's account or data without authorization;
* Use the Service to build a competing product through scraping, reverse engineering, or unauthorized API use.

### 6. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content (excluding User Content), including the Fieldmeister name, logo, software, formation library defaults, and underlying technology, are and will remain the exclusive property of Kristof Soomers or his licensors. Fieldmeister is used as the brand name for the Service. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use the Fieldmeister name, logo, or other brand elements without prior written consent.

### 7. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your account and ban access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, under our sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to a breach of the Terms.

### 8. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall Fieldmeister, nor its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates, be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, including without limitation, loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses, resulting from your access to or use of or inability to access or use the Service.

### 9. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. We will provide notice of any significant changes by posting the new Terms on this page.

### 10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.
