Terms & Conditions
Welcome to Idol Football ("we", "us", "our"). By using our services, you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you should not use our services.
Privacy Policy
We collect and process personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We only collect and use personal data that is necessary for your participation in our football (soccer) program and payment for your order. We do not sell or redistribute your personal data to any third parties. We will take all appropriate measures to protect your personal data, including implementing technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of your data.
Event Policy
We offer professional-level education, training, showcase games, and the opportunity for players to be seen and discovered by scouts, coaches, and teams. While we will do our best to provide players with opportunities and to assist them in finding a club, the final decision on signing players is outside of our control and we cannot guarantee any player will be signed.
Alcohol, Drugs, and Doping Policy
We have a zero-tolerance policy towards the use of alcohol and drugs during our sports events. As for doping, we follow the guidelines as set out by FIFA, UEFA, Swedish FA, and the International Anti-Doping Agency.
Behavior and Conduct Policy
Players are expected to respect rules and regulations in the country where our event takes place, and to behave in a respectful, responsible, and legal manner. We are not responsible for any misbehaviour or criminal acts committed by players. We reserve the right to report such behaviour to the police or relevant authorities, and to provide them with any relevant information. We also reserve the right to deny players the right to participate in the program without refunds if we receive information about illegal acts they may have committed. We reserve the right to cancel a player's participation in the program without providing refunds if we judge their behaviour as harmful or disruptive to other players or other people on trial.
Liability and Indemnification
We and our affiliates, employees, agents, and representatives shall not be liable for any injuries, losses, or damages suffered by players during the program period, whether caused by our negligence or otherwise. Players shall indemnify and hold us and our affiliates, employees, agents, and representatives harmless from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, and expenses, including attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with their participation in the program.
Payment and Cancellation Policy
Payments can be made through our website and our partner Stripe, or through bank transfer to our bank Swedbank. Administration and registration fees are non-refundable. All sales are final, and no refunds will be issued for trials and showcase programs when the order is confirmed, and the payment completed. If the player cancels their participation due to injury or sickness, they will be offered credit in the form of participation in the next trial or showcase event.
Visa
If you need a visa, we will assist with the visa application. Once payment for our event has been completed, our staff will send out a visa invitation letter for the trial length of your choice within three working days. Please note: our visa invitation sent via email will be the ONLY assistance that we will give towards acquiring a visa. If you are not sure that the invitation letter we send you will get you a valid visa, please contact the Embassy (of the country you will be traveling to) in your home country or a professional legal service. If you do not think our emailed invite will be enough for you to get into the state of the trial, we recommend you do not sign up.
Payment is non-refundable, but if your visa is denied and you cannot attend after payment has been made, you will be refunded in credit towards the next trial.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Idol Football is the sole owner and proprietor of all intellectual property rights in and to all content, material, and innovations that are developed, shared, or created during the program, including but not limited to images, videos, posters, audio clips, and any other materials or intellectual property developed or created in connection with the program. Players acknowledge and agree that they have no ownership rights in or to any such content, material, or innovations.
DISPUTES
Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these terms and conditions, or the program, shall be governed by Swedish law and shall be resolved exclusively by the courts of Sweden, with the court nearest to Västerås having jurisdiction. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objections to venue or jurisdiction.
