Terms of use
The rules for using this site, in plain English.
About these terms
These terms explain how you may use About Football (the “site”). The site is operated by AboutFootball, Ukraine. You can reach us through the details on the contact and corrections page.
The site has no accounts, purchases or comment sections, so these terms are short. By using the site you agree to them; if you do not agree, please stop using it. Nothing in them takes away rights you have by law as a consumer.
What the site is
About Football publishes independent football reporting, fixtures, player and competition information and links to the sources behind our stories. It is general information, not advice. Nothing on the site is professional, financial, legal or betting advice, and nothing is a recommendation to place a bet.
Accuracy and corrections
We take care to show where each fact comes from and when it was true, but football information changes quickly: line-ups, results, prices and availability can change after a page is published. Statistics describe a dated sample and are not a guarantee about the next match. If you find a mistake, tell us through the corrections policy.
Betting content and commercial links
Betting content is for readers aged 18 and over. About Football is not a bookmaker and does not take bets. Betting involves risk: never bet more than you can afford to lose. Support is available from GamCare and BeGambleAware.
If we link to a bookmaker or other business, that business is a separate company with its own terms; we do not control it and are not a party to anything you agree with it. We only link to gambling operators that are licensed to offer services to people in Great Britain. When a link earns us a commission it is labelled beside the link and marked in the page code as sponsored. Prices and odds shown by other businesses change; check them with the business before you act.
Our content and how you may use it
Our articles, graphics, layout, name and logo belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other rights. You may:
- read and use the site for your own personal, non-commercial purposes;
- link to any page;
- quote a short extract of our reporting for criticism, review or news reporting, as the law allows, with a clear acknowledgement and a link back to the page.
Please do not copy, republish, sell or redistribute our content beyond that without our written permission, and do not present our work as your own. We do not give permission for commercial text and data mining of the site, or for using its content to build or train a commercial dataset or model.
Automated access
Search engines may index public pages as set out in our robots file. Please do not otherwise collect pages in bulk, bypass limits, or send enough automated traffic to slow the site for others. We may block access that does.
Third-party material
Photographs, data and extracts from other sources keep the licence and credit shown with them; see credits and licences. Club, competition, player and bookmaker names and marks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the subject of a report. We are not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any club, league, player or bookmaker. If you hold rights in something shown here, contact us as described on the contact page and we will respond.
Links to other websites are for your convenience. We are not responsible for their content or practices.
Using the site properly
Do not use the site unlawfully, try to gain unauthorised access to it or its systems, introduce malware, or interfere with how it works.
Availability
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site at any time, and we cannot promise it will always be available or error-free.
Our responsibility to you
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit.
The site is free and offered as general information. Subject to the paragraph above, we are not responsible for loss that you suffer from relying on it, including money lost on a bet, or for loss that was not a foreseeable result of our failing to use reasonable care. If you use the site for business, we are also not responsible for lost profit, revenue or business opportunity.
Privacy and cookies
How we handle personal data, and our use of cookies, is set out in the privacy policy and cookie policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the site or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest revision, and a significant change will be described on this page. Using the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms, and any dispute about them or the site, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring a claim in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom where you live. Nothing here removes mandatory consumer protections that apply to you where you live.
