Terms of Service
Last updated: October 23, 2026
Beta version, pending legal review.
1. About these Terms
These Terms apply to the ATHLETIQ app during its beta. By creating an account you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. This is interim text that describes how the app works today. It will be replaced by a final version after legal review, and we will let you know in the app when that happens.
2. What ATHLETIQ is
ATHLETIQ is a sports career and social app. Athletes build a profile, post photos, videos and 24-hour Stories, keep a training calendar and message other users. Scouts, Agents, Teams, club staff, Parents, Observers and Advertisers each have their own screens and see different information. Some profile details are public; others are visible only to certain roles or approved connections. This is enforced on our servers, not just hidden in the app.
3. Age and parental consent
Athletes enter their date of birth and country when they sign up. They can't be changed afterwards — only we can correct a genuine mistake, and every correction is logged.
Each country has an age below which an athlete needs a parent's consent (for example 13 in Israel and the United States, 16 in Germany). This table is provisional until legal review.
Below that age, an athlete can browse but can't post, comment, add Stories or use messages until a verified Parent is linked.
A Parent is verified by paying for the Parent subscription with a card (including Apple Pay or Google Pay). Free access given by us does not verify a Parent.
The athlete enters a parent's email address. A verified Parent account with exactly that email is linked automatically — the athlete never approves anyone. A second parent can ask to join and the first parent approves. A child can have up to 2 parents.
Consent stays in place if the Parent cancels their subscription or deletes their account.
Scout, Agent, Team, club staff, Advertiser and Parent accounts are for adults: you must be 18 or older and confirm it when you sign up. Observers must be at least 13.
4. Parents and messages
A linked Parent can see their child's profile and calendar (view only).
For a child below their country's consent age, every linked, verified Parent is a full member of the child's conversations with Scouts, Agents, Teams, club staff and Advertisers: they can read the whole history and send messages, and the other person sees the Parent in the conversation. Parents never see the child's conversations with other athletes.
Only some accounts may start a conversation with an athlete under 13, and a Scout's first message to an athlete under 13 is held until a verified Parent approves it.
5. Clubs and club staff
A Team can invite staff to its club by email. Staff are part of the Team's subscription, act only for that club, and only within the permissions the Team gives them.
The Team is responsible for whom it invites and which permissions it grants, and can change or remove them at any time. Staff are responsible for using players' information only for the club's work with those players.
Match numbers, training plans and tracking, feedback, opponent reports, drills and the club's photos and videos are the club's records. They are not public and stay inside the club. Don't record medical or injury information in them.
A club can tag a player below their country's consent age in its photos and videos only after a verified Parent agrees.
An athlete can ask to join a club. The club decides; below the consent age, a verified Parent decides after the club.
6. Your content and behavior
You keep ownership of what you post. You give us permission to store it, show it and deliver it to the people who are allowed to see it, only to run the app.
You are responsible for everything you post and send. Don't post anything illegal, sexual, violent, hateful, harassing, false or misleading, or anything that infringes someone else's rights. Don't impersonate anyone, and keep your role and profile details accurate.
Answers marked "for Scouts" on an upload are visible only to Scouts.
Stories disappear from view after 24 hours and move to an archive that only the author and their friends can see.
7. Blocking and reporting
You can block any user. Blocking works both ways: neither of you can find, see or contact the other, and the person you block is not told. Blocking ends every connection between you except a parent-child link, and freezes and hides your conversation.
A child can't block their linked Parent (and a Parent can't block their linked child), but a child can report their Parent.
You can report a profile, post, comment, Story or chat message. When you report a chat message, our server saves a copy of it (text, sender, time and attachments) as evidence. Only our admins can see reports and evidence.
We review reports and may delete content, suspend accounts or block accounts. A blocked account can't sign in and can't register again with the same email.
8. Subscriptions and payments
Athlete is free. Every other role needs a monthly subscription. Club staff are included in their Team's subscription.
Subscriptions are not bought inside the app, and not through the App Store or Google Play. They are bought on our website through Paddle, which is the seller (Merchant of Record) and handles payment, receipts and taxes. Prices are on our Pricing page.
You can cancel at any time, in either of two ways: with the link in the receipt email from Paddle, or by emailing us at athletiq.support@gmail.com. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for, and there are no partial refunds — see our Refund Policy.
We may give free access to a role for a set time to specific email addresses. Free access unlocks the role's features but does not verify a Parent.
9. Verification
Any role with a profile can ask for a gold checkmark by uploading a supporting document. We review each request by hand.
10. Deleting your account
You can delete your account in Settings. When you ask, any active subscription is canceled immediately, with no refund for the rest of the billing period. Your account is closed right away and permanently deleted after 30 days.
Until then you can sign in and cancel the deletion to keep your account. The subscription stays canceled — to use a paid role again, subscribe again on our website.
We may also delete an account immediately; any active subscription is then canceled immediately too, with no refund.
What is deleted and what is kept is explained in our Privacy Policy.
11. Beta
ATHLETIQ is in beta. Features may change, be added or be removed, and things may not always work. If you send us feedback, we may use it to improve the app.
12. Limitation of liability
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, ATHLETIQ is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages from using the app. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We will tell you in the app about important changes. Continuing to use the app after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
