About these terms
These Terms of Use apply to courtscout.au and the CourtScout recruiting services provided by [BUSINESS NAME] (ABN [ABN]), trading as CourtScout (“CourtScout”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using the website, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Who can use CourtScout
CourtScout is for basketball players aged 14 to 20, their parents or guardians, and the coaches and clubs who support them.
If the athlete is under 18, a parent or guardian must create or approve the account, agree to these terms on the athlete’s behalf, and give the consents needed before the profile can be reviewed or shared. The parent or guardian is responsible for the account while the athlete is under 18.
Our service
CourtScout lets athletes build a recruiting profile. On paid plans, our staff, who include NBL, NBL1 and State League coaches and scouts, review the profile, recommend a college level and pathway plan, and send the profile to college coaches. Plan features are described on our Pricing page.
No guarantee of offers or scholarships
CourtScout does not guarantee that any coach will view or respond to a profile, or that an athlete will receive a scholarship, a roster place, an offer or admission to any college. Those decisions are made only by colleges and their coaches.
Our recommended level, pathway plan and estimated GPA are our opinion, based on the information provided. They are not official assessments. Academic and athletic eligibility is decided by the NCAA Eligibility Center, the NAIA, junior college associations and individual colleges.
Your account
- Give accurate, current information, and keep it up to date.
- Keep your password private. You are responsible for activity on your account.
- Tell us promptly if you think someone else has accessed your account.
Your content
You keep ownership of the film, photos, documents and other content you upload. You give us a non-exclusive licence to store, display, format and share that content to provide the service, including sending it to college coaches in line with your consents and visibility settings.
You must only upload content you have the right to share. That includes having permission from the person who filmed or photographed it where needed. You can remove content or close your account at any time.
Accuracy and verification
Profiles must be truthful. Please do not overstate statistics, measurements, results or achievements. We may check information with coaches, schools, leagues or testing providers, label what has been verified, and edit or remove information we cannot verify or believe is inaccurate.
Acceptable use
You must not:
- create a profile for someone without their permission, or their parent or guardian’s permission if they are under 18;
- upload anything unlawful, misleading, offensive or that infringes someone else’s rights;
- contact athletes through CourtScout for any purpose other than legitimate recruiting; or
- copy, scrape or misuse the website or other people’s information.
Eligibility and amateur status
Athletes and families are responsible for protecting their own eligibility, including NCAA amateurism rules about payments, contracts, agents and professional teams. CourtScout is not a sports agent, does not negotiate on an athlete’s behalf and does not provide legal, immigration or financial advice.
Fees and subscriptions
Paid plans are billed monthly or annually in advance and renew automatically until cancelled. Our Subscriptions, cancellation and refunds policy explains billing, cancellation and refunds.
Coaches and third parties
College coaches and programs are independent of CourtScout. We are not responsible for their decisions or communications, or for how they handle information once it has been shared with them in line with your consent. Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience only.
Australian Consumer Law
Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot be excluded.
To the extent permitted by law, and except for those rights, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss. Where our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee can lawfully be limited, it is limited to supplying the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again.
Suspending or closing accounts
You can close your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms, provides false information or puts other users at risk. If we close a paid account for reasons other than a breach, we will refund any unused portion of a prepaid period.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version on this page and give account holders reasonable notice by email of significant changes before they take effect.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [STATE OR TERRITORY], Australia, and you and we submit to the courts of that state or territory.
