Sports Star Agreement.

Parties

(1) Sportalcom 2026 Limited, a company registered in England and Wales with company number 17113507, whose registered office is at 10 Far Croft, Breaston, Derby, England, DE72 3HL, trading as Sportabal (“Sportabal”, “we”, “us” or “our”); and

(2) the individual identified in the Star Signup Form as the Sports Star (the “Sports Star”, “you” or “your”).

Background

Sportabal operates an online marketplace at sportabal.com (the “Platform”) through which Fans can book personalised services. Sportabal supplies those services to Fans as principal. To do so, Sportabal engages Sports Stars to perform the underlying services, which Sportabal then sells and supplies to Fans in its own name. This Agreement governs the relationship between Sportabal and the Sports Star.

This Agreement is supplemented for each Sports Star by a Star Signup Form which contains, among other things, the Sports Star’s on-boarding details, the services offered, the Sports Star’s Rate Card, payout instructions, VAT-registration status, and the Subscription Fee (if applicable). Where a Club pays the Subscription Fee for the Sports Star, that fee is not payable by the Sports Star.

This Agreement, the Star Signup Form, the Website Terms of Use, the Refund and Cancellation Policy, the Privacy Policy and the GDPR Consent Notice together form the contractual basis on which the Sports Star provides services to Sportabal and uses the Platform.

1. Definitions

• Booking — an order by a Fan for a Service, placed through the Platform and confirmed by Sportabal. Each Booking is a contract for the Service between the Fan and Sportabal; the Sports Star is not a party to it.
• Booking Fee — the all-in price of the Service paid by the Fan to Sportabal, comprising the Star Rate, Sportabal’s Commission and any applicable UK VAT, as shown on the Platform at the time of Booking.
• Cancellation Charge — the sum payable by the Sports Star to Sportabal where the Sports Star cancels an accepted Booking or commits a No-Show, calculated under clause 8.3 and collected under clause 8.3.8. The Cancellation Charge is payable to Sportabal.
• Club — where the Sports Star is on-boarded through a Club, the sports club, academy, governing body or other employer that is party to the relevant Club Agreement with Sportabal.
• Commission — Sportabal’s commission of twenty per cent (20%) of the Star Rate for each Booking, which Sportabal adds to the Star Rate (before VAT) when pricing the Service to the Fan. The Commission may be varied under clause 7.
• Content — any video, audio, image, text or other material created or shared by the Sports Star in connection with a Booking, or otherwise uploaded to the Platform by the Sports Star.
• Direct Debit Mandate — the Direct Debit instruction the Sports Star sets up at on-boarding under clause 6, in favour of Sportabal under the Bacs Direct Debit Scheme.
• Fan — any individual or business that uses the Platform to book a Service.
• No-Show — has the meaning given in clause 8.3.3.
• Premium Booking — a Booking which is either (a) of a Service type designated by Sportabal from time to time as a premium-eligible Service (including in-person attendances, wedding appearances, milestone birthday appearances, surprise visits, charity events and other Bookings of comparable significance), or (b) flagged by the Fan as a Premium Booking on payment of the applicable Premium Booking Surcharge. Premium Bookings are subject to extended cancellation windows under clause 8.3.6.
• Services — the services the Sports Star offers to perform through the Platform, as listed on the Sports Star’s Platform profile and recorded in the Star Signup Form.
• Solo Star — a Sports Star who is not on-boarded through a Club.
• Star Rate — the price the Sports Star sets for a Service in the Rate Card, before Sportabal’s Commission and VAT. Where the Sports Star is on-boarded under a Club, the Star Rate is shared with the Club as set out in the Club Agreement and the Star Signup Form (by default, 85% to the Sports Star and 15% to the Club as the Club Share); otherwise the Sports Star receives the full Star Rate. The Sports Star sets and controls the Star Rate.
• Star Signup Form — the on-boarding document accepted by the Sports Star, which sets out the Sports Star’s personal and verification details, the Services offered, the Rate Card, payout details, the Direct Debit Mandate, VAT-registration status, and any other commercial terms specific to that Sports Star.
• Strike — has the meaning given in clause 8.3.7.
• Subscription Fee — the platform subscription payable in respect of the Sports Star’s use of the Platform, as set out in the Star Signup Form. Where the Sports Star is a Solo Star, the Subscription Fee is paid by the Sports Star; where on-boarded under a Club, it is paid by the Club under the Club Agreement.

2. Engagement of the Sports Star; Sportabal as principal

The Sports Star appoints Sportabal, on a non-exclusive basis, to market the Services and to sell and supply them to Fans through the Platform. Sportabal contracts with Fans as principal and is the seller and supplier of each Service to the Fan. The Sports Star performs the underlying Services for Sportabal so that Sportabal can fulfil each Booking.

For each Booking, Sportabal sets the all-in Booking Fee by taking the Star Rate, adding the Commission, and adding any applicable UK VAT. Sportabal is responsible, as principal, for charging and accounting for that VAT to HM Revenue & Customs, for issuing any receipt or VAT invoice to the Fan, and for handling the Fan relationship, payments, refunds and disputes.

The Sports Star is the supplier of the underlying Services to Sportabal. The Sports Star is responsible for accounting to HMRC for the Sports Star’s own tax and, where the Sports Star is VAT-registered, for any VAT chargeable on the Star Rate to Sportabal (see clause 7). Nothing in this Agreement makes the Sports Star a party to, or liable to the Fan under, the contract between Sportabal and the Fan.

3. Status of the Sports Star

The Sports Star provides the Services to Sportabal as an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship of employer and employee, partnership, joint venture, or franchise between Sportabal and the Sports Star.

The Sports Star is solely responsible for: (a) registering for, accounting for and paying all income tax, National Insurance contributions, VAT and any other taxes payable on the amounts Sportabal pays the Sports Star; (b) maintaining accurate tax-residency and VAT-registration information on the Platform; (c) complying with all club, league, governing-body, sponsor or employer rules or restrictions that apply to the Sports Star; and (d) obtaining any necessary consent from the Sports Star’s Club, employer, sponsor or representatives in relation to the Services (see clause 9).

4. Eligibility, on-boarding and verification

To be eligible to use the Platform, the Sports Star must: (a) be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement; (b) successfully complete Sportabal’s identity-verification process; (c) complete the Star Signup Form, including the Direct Debit Mandate; and (d) provide such additional KYC and AML information as Sportabal may reasonably request.

Sportabal may refuse, suspend or terminate the Sports Star’s account at any time where Sportabal reasonably believes that the Sports Star has failed any eligibility or verification requirement, where this Agreement has been breached, or where suspension or termination is necessary to protect the Platform, its users, the public or any third party.

On successful identity verification, Sportabal may display a “Verified” badge on the Sports Star’s profile, confirming only that the Sports Star has completed Sportabal’s identity-verification process. It is not a representation as to the Sports Star’s current employment, club affiliation, sporting status, character, conduct or the quality of any Service. The Sports Star is responsible for keeping all identity, verification and profile information current.

5. Sports Star obligations

The Sports Star will:

• perform each Service the Sports Star accepts on the agreed date and to a reasonable professional standard, so that Sportabal can deliver the Booking to the Fan;
• maintain an accurate, current and complete Platform profile, including Services offered, Rate Card, availability, and tax-residency information;
• treat Fans with respect and professionalism at all times and comply with the Acceptable Use rules in the Website Terms of Use;
• not promote goods or services that compete with Sportabal without Sportabal’s prior written consent;
• not circumvent the Platform by accepting payment from a Fan, or arranging a Service for a Fan, outside the Platform once a connection has been made through Sportabal;
• comply with all applicable laws, codes of conduct, governing-body rules and Club, employer or sponsor obligations;
• respond to Booking requests within five (5) Business Days, and respond to Sportabal’s support team and the dispute-resolution process in a reasonable and timely manner; and
• maintain a valid Direct Debit Mandate at all times while this Agreement is in force.

6. Direct Debit and payment method on file

As a condition of on-boarding, the Sports Star sets up a Direct Debit Mandate in favour of Sportabal under the Bacs Direct Debit Scheme. The Direct Debit Mandate enables Sportabal to recover: (a) any Cancellation Charge payable by the Sports Star under clause 8.3; (b) any Subscription Fee payable by the Sports Star; (c) any refund, chargeback or cost for which the Sports Star is responsible under this Agreement; and (d) any other amount owed by the Sports Star to Sportabal, including reasonable costs of recovery.

Where Sportabal’s payment processor holds a card or other payment method on file for the Sports Star, the Sports Star authorises Sportabal to charge it for the same purposes where the Direct Debit is not set up, cannot be used or is rejected. If the Direct Debit Mandate is cancelled, suspended or fails, Sportabal may suspend the Sports Star’s account, withhold payments and require a new mandate before further Bookings are accepted.

7. Payments to the Sports Star, Commission, VAT and Subscription Fee

7.1 What the Sports Star is paid

For each delivered Booking, Sportabal will pay the Sports Star the Star Rate for that Service (less any Club Share where the Sports Star is on a Club Roster), within three (3) Business Days of successful delivery, after deducting any amount Sportabal is entitled to set off or retain under this Agreement (for example a Cancellation Charge). Where the Sports Star is on a Club Roster, the Star Rate is shared with the Club as set out in the Club Agreement and the Star Signup Form (by default, the Sports Star receives 85% of the Star Rate and the Club receives 15% as the Club Share); otherwise the Sports Star receives the full Star Rate. In every case, Sportabal’s Commission and the VAT are additional amounts charged to the Fan on top of the Star Rate and are not deducted from what the Sports Star is paid.

7.2 Commission

In consideration for marketing, selling and supplying the Services to Fans and operating the Platform, Sportabal adds its Commission of twenty per cent (20%) of the Star Rate to the price of each Service. Sportabal may vary the Commission on not less than thirty (30) days’ notice; any change applies only to Bookings made after it takes effect.

7.3 VAT

Sportabal is the supplier of the Service to the Fan and charges and accounts for UK VAT on the Booking Fee. The Sports Star supplies the underlying Services to Sportabal: (a) where the Sports Star is not VAT-registered, no VAT is chargeable on the Star Rate and Sportabal pays the Star Rate without VAT; (b) where the Sports Star is or becomes VAT-registered, the Sports Star must notify Sportabal via the Star Signup Form and provide the Sports Star’s VAT registration number, and the Star Rate is treated as VAT-exclusive so that Sportabal pays the Star Rate plus VAT against a valid VAT invoice (which Sportabal may issue on the Sports Star’s behalf under a self-billing arrangement). The Sports Star is responsible for accounting to HMRC for any VAT so charged, and for the Sports Star’s own income tax and National Insurance on all amounts received from Sportabal.

7.4 Subscription Fee

The Subscription Fee is Sportabal’s charge for the Sports Star’s access to and use of the Platform, and is separate from the Booking economics above. Where the Sports Star is a Solo Star, the Subscription Fee is payable annually in advance at the rates published from time to time. As at the date of this Agreement, the Subscription Fee is £99.99 per annum plus VAT. Sports Stars who subscribed on the monthly plan before it was withdrawn continue on their existing terms (£9.99 per month plus VAT) until they cancel. It is collected by Direct Debit (or such other recurring method as Sportabal may specify). Where the Sports Star is on-boarded under a Club, the Subscription Fee is paid by the Club and the Sports Star has no payment obligation in respect of it.

Subscription Fees are non-refundable, save where the Sports Star’s account has not been activated on the Platform at the date of cancellation. Sportabal may, acting reasonably, refund a pro-rated portion where it considers it fair to do so.

8. Failure to accept, cancellation and non-delivery

8.1 Sports Star fails to accept

The Sports Star has five (5) Business Days from a Booking request to accept or decline it via the Platform. Sportabal will send automated reminders. If the Sports Star declines, or has neither accepted nor declined by the end of the fifth Business Day, the request lapses, is treated as declined, and the Fan receives a full refund from Sportabal. No Cancellation Charge is payable for a lapsed or declined request, but repeated non-acceptance may affect the Sports Star’s ranking and/or eligibility on the Platform.

8.2 Effect of a Fan cancellation

Where a Fan cancels a confirmed Booking, Sportabal applies the Fan-facing refund schedule in the Website Terms of Use and the Refund and Cancellation Policy. A Fan cancellation cancels the Booking and releases the Sports Star from performing it. Where, under that schedule, the Fan is not entitled to a full refund (for example a late cancellation, where Sportabal retains all or part of the Booking Fee), Sportabal will pay the Sports Star a fair proportion of the Star Rate reflecting the time reserved or work done, as notified to the Sports Star for the relevant Booking. Fan refunds are funded and processed by Sportabal as principal; the Sports Star has no liability to the Fan for them.

8.3 Cancellation by the Sports Star

8.3.1 The Sports Star acknowledges that Fans rely on confirmed Bookings and that a Sports Star cancellation forces Sportabal to refund the Fan and causes Sportabal administrative effort and cost. Where the Sports Star cancels an accepted Booking, the Sports Star pays Sportabal a Cancellation Charge, calculated on the Star Rate for the Booking as follows:

(a) more than fourteen (14) days before the scheduled date: a Cancellation Charge equal to ten per cent (10%) of the Star Rate as an administration charge, save that no Cancellation Charge is payable where a replacement Sports Star or an agreed alternative date is arranged under clause 8.3.4. No Strike is recorded for a cancellation under this paragraph (a);

(b) less than fourteen (14) days but more than seventy-two (72) hours before the scheduled date: a Cancellation Charge equal to fifty per cent (50%) of the Star Rate. This counts as a Strike under clause 8.3.7; and

(c) less than seventy-two (72) hours before the scheduled date, or a No-Show: a Cancellation Charge equal to one hundred per cent (100%) of the Star Rate. This counts as a Strike and may result in immediate suspension pending review.

The Cancellation Charge is a genuine pre-estimate of the cost and loss Sportabal incurs on a Sports Star cancellation (including the cost of refunding the Fan and lost Commission). It is payable to Sportabal and not to the Fan. Sportabal may, at its discretion and in an individual case, apply a lower Cancellation Charge, or agree an alternative amount or arrangement, without affecting the Cancellation Charges that apply generally. These Cancellation Charges are not subject to variation by individual negotiation with a Sports Star.

8.3.2 Fan refund. All Booking Fees are held by Sportabal’s payment processor until the Booking is delivered, refunded or otherwise resolved. Where a Sports Star cancellation entitles the Fan to a refund, Sportabal funds and pays that refund to the Fan. The Sports Star has no claim to any sum refunded to a Fan.

8.3.3 No-Show. “No-Show” means: (a) for a live or in-person Booking, failing to attend or commence within thirty (30) minutes of the scheduled start time; and (b) for a deliverable-based Booking, failing to deliver the agreed item within seven (7) days of the agreed delivery date, in each case without prior notice to Sportabal.

8.3.4 Replacement and rescheduling. Sportabal may propose to the Fan a replacement Sports Star or a rescheduled date; the Fan may accept or decline in the Fan’s absolute discretion. Where the Sports Star and Sportabal agree to reschedule and the rescheduled Booking proceeds, no Cancellation Charge is payable for the original date.

8.3.5 Force majeure. Where the Sports Star is prevented from performing by (a) bona fide illness or injury supported by evidence; (b) bereavement of an immediate family member; (c) a last-minute professional obligation imposed by the Sports Star’s club, governing body or national federation; or (d) any other event of force majeure beyond reasonable control, no Cancellation Charge is payable and no Strike is recorded. The Fan remains entitled to a full refund from Sportabal.

8.3.6 Premium Bookings. For a Premium Booking, the windows in clause 8.3.1 are extended: (a) 30 or more days before the scheduled date, a Cancellation Charge equal to ten per cent (10%) of the Star Rate as an administration charge (no Strike), save where a replacement Sports Star or an agreed alternative date is arranged under clause 8.3.4; (b) less than 30 but more than 7 days before, 50% of the Star Rate; (c) less than 7 days before, or a No-Show, 100% of the Star Rate. Clauses 8.3.2 to 8.3.5 and 8.3.7 to 8.3.8 apply, and a Strike accrues for any charge under (b) or (c) save where clause 8.3.5 applies.

8.3.7 Repeat cancellations (Strikes). Two (2) Strikes within any rolling twelve (12) month period trigger a formal review; three (3) or more may, at Sportabal’s discretion, result in suspension or termination under clause 13. Force-majeure cancellations are not counted.

8.3.8 Collection of Cancellation Charges. Sportabal may collect a Cancellation Charge, in order of priority, by: (a) set-off against sums otherwise due to the Sports Star; (b) Direct Debit under the Mandate, on not less than three (3) Business Days’ notice; (c) invoice, payable within fourteen (14) days; and (d) where unpaid, with interest at eight per cent (8%) per annum above the Bank of England base rate, together with reasonable recovery costs. By accepting this Agreement, the Sports Star authorises these collection methods for any Cancellation Charge lawfully due.

8.4 Non-delivery

If the Sports Star fails to deliver an accepted Service within the Agreed Delivery Window, or fails to attend a confirmed live or in-person Service within thirty (30) minutes of the scheduled start time, this is treated as a No-Show under clause 8.3.1(c): the Fan is entitled to a full refund from Sportabal, the Sports Star is liable for the corresponding Cancellation Charge, and a Strike accrues. “Agreed Delivery Window” means the period set for the relevant Service on the Rate Card or Star Signup Form, plus, for physical items shipped outside the UK, a reasonable additional period for standard tracked postage. Where none is set, a default of fourteen (14) days from acceptance applies.

9. Content, name/image/likeness, and employer releases

9.1 Ownership of Content

The Sports Star retains ownership of the Content the Sports Star creates in connection with a Booking, subject to any pre-existing third-party rights and to the licences granted below.

9.2 Licence to Sportabal

The Sports Star grants Sportabal a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sub-licensable licence to host, store, display, distribute, copy and adapt the Content and the Sports Star’s name, image, likeness, voice, signature, biographical information, club/team affiliation and playing record (together, the “Star Marks”) for the purposes of operating, marketing and promoting the Platform, supplying and delivering Bookings to Fans (including granting each Fan the personal-use licence set out in the Website Terms of Use), and promoting the Services. The licence continues for as long as is reasonably necessary to operate the Platform and retain historical records under the Privacy Policy.

9.3 Sub-licence to Fans

The Sports Star authorises Sportabal to grant each Fan a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to use the delivered Content for the Fan’s own personal, non-commercial purposes, on the terms of the Website Terms of Use. Any commercial exploitation by a Fan requires prior written consent, which Sportabal will not grant without the Sports Star’s agreement.

9.4 Warranties on the Content and Star Marks

The Sports Star warrants that the Sports Star has all rights, consents, releases and permissions necessary to grant the licences in this clause 9 and to perform the Services, including any rights affected by the Sports Star’s contracts with any Club, employer, sponsor, agent or image-rights body, and will not perform any Service that infringes a third party’s rights.

9.5 Employer / Club / sponsor releases

Where the Sports Star’s contract with a Club, employer, sponsor or other third party restricts the Sports Star’s ability to provide the Services or use the Star Marks, the Sports Star is responsible for obtaining all necessary releases before listing the affected Services. Where on-boarded under a Club Agreement, the relevant Club provides those releases under that Agreement. Where the Sports Star is a Solo Star, Sportabal will on request provide a template consent, without warranting its sufficiency.

Where the Sports Star is on-boarded under a Club, the right to use the Platform is contingent on the Club’s continuing approval, which the Club may revoke at any time. On revocation, the Sports Star’s profile is removed with effect on the conclusion of any then-current Bookings; no further Bookings may be accepted; and Bookings already accepted are honoured or refunded under clause 8. The Sports Star’s recourse in respect of a revocation is against the Club.

9.6 Reviews

Fans may post reviews after a Booking, which Sportabal moderates under the Website Terms of Use. The Sports Star will not solicit incentivised reviews, post fake reviews, or retaliate against a Fan for an honest review. Suspected breaches may be reported to hello@sportabal.com.

10. Sportabal’s role and obligations

Sportabal will use reasonable skill and care to: (a) operate and maintain the Platform; (b) market the Platform and the Services; (c) contract with Fans, take payment, account for VAT and process refunds as principal; (d) pay the Sports Star the Star Rate for delivered Bookings under clause 7; (e) provide reasonable customer-support and dispute-handling (currently a 5-Business-Day SLA on most matters); (f) verify each Sports Star’s identity at on-boarding; and (g) handle personal data in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law. Sportabal does not guarantee any volume of Bookings, level of demand, or level of income for the Sports Star.

11. Liability

Nothing in this Agreement limits or excludes either party’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law.

Subject to the above, and to the maximum extent permitted by law: (a) the Sports Star is liable for the Sports Star’s own acts and omissions in performing the Services, including their quality, timeliness and suitability; (b) Sportabal is not liable to the Sports Star for the acts or omissions of any Fan, Club or third party; (c) neither party is liable to the other for loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of opportunity, loss of goodwill or any indirect or consequential loss; and (d) Sportabal’s total aggregate liability to the Sports Star for all claims in any twelve-month period is limited to the total Commission retained by Sportabal in respect of that Sports Star’s Bookings during that period.

12. Indemnity

The Sports Star will indemnify Sportabal, and keep it indemnified, on demand against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with: (a) any breach of this Agreement by the Sports Star; (b) the Sports Star’s acts or omissions in performing, or failing to perform, any Service, including any claim by a Fan that the Service or Content was defective, not as described, unsafe or infringing; (c) the Sports Star’s tax, VAT or AML position; and (d) any claim by a Club, employer, sponsor, governing body or other third party in respect of the Sports Star’s participation on the Platform. This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim arises out of Sportabal’s own negligence, wilful misconduct or breach of law. The Sports Star acknowledges that, because Sportabal is responsible to Fans for the Services as principal, this indemnity allocates to the Sports Star the risk of the Sports Star’s own performance.

13. Term, suspension and termination

This Agreement starts on the date the Sports Star’s account is activated and continues until terminated. Either party may terminate for convenience on thirty (30) days’ written notice. The Sports Star may close the account at any time, but closure does not affect any accepted Booking not yet delivered, any Cancellation Charge or amount due, or the Subscription Fee for any period already started.

Sportabal may suspend or terminate with immediate effect where: (a) the Sports Star has materially breached this Agreement and (if capable of remedy) failed to remedy within fourteen (14) days of notice; (b) the Direct Debit Mandate is cancelled or repeatedly fails and is not replaced within fourteen (14) days; (c) Sportabal reasonably believes the Sports Star has engaged in unlawful, fraudulent, defamatory or unsafe conduct; or (d) Sportabal is required to by law or a regulator. Clauses 7 (amounts owed), 9 (subsisting licences and warranties), 11, 12, 14 and 15 survive termination.

14. Confidentiality

The Star Signup Form, the Star Rate arrangements, Sportabal’s pricing structure, the terms of this Agreement, and any commercial information disclosed in connection with the Platform are confidential. Each party will keep them confidential except (a) to professional advisers under a duty of confidence, (b) as required by law or a regulator, or (c) with the other party’s prior written consent. Aggregated or anonymised information is not confidential.

15. Data protection and tax reporting

Sportabal and the Sports Star each act as independent data controllers in respect of the personal data they handle in connection with the Platform and will comply with applicable data-protection law. Sportabal’s handling of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy and GDPR Consent Notice.

The Sports Star acknowledges that Sportabal may be required to collect, verify and report certain information about the Sports Star to HM Revenue & Customs under applicable tax-reporting rules for digital platforms (including, where applicable, the UK Platform Operators (Due Diligence and Reporting Requirements) Regulations 2023). The information may include the Sports Star’s legal name, address, date of birth, Tax Identification Number, country of tax residence, payout account identifier, and the amounts paid to the Sports Star through the Platform. The Sports Star will provide accurate information at on-boarding and notify Sportabal promptly of any change. Where Sportabal makes such a report about the Sports Star, it will provide the Sports Star with a copy of the reported information.

16. Changes to this Agreement

Sportabal may change this Agreement from time to time. For material changes, Sportabal will give at least thirty (30) days’ written or in-platform notice. If the Sports Star does not accept a material change, the Sports Star may terminate under clause 13 before it takes effect; continuing to accept Bookings after it takes effect will be taken as acceptance.

17. Notices

Notices to Sportabal should be sent to hello@sportabal.com, including any change to bank or payout details. Notices to the Sports Star are sent to the email held on the Platform and deemed received on the day of sending if a Business Day, otherwise the next Business Day.

18. Governing law and disputes

This Agreement and any dispute arising out of or in connection with it (including non-contractual disputes) are governed by the law of England and Wales, whose courts have exclusive jurisdiction. The parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute through good-faith discussions for thirty (30) days before commencing formal proceedings.

19. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. This Agreement, the Star Signup Form, the Website Terms of Use, the Refund and Cancellation Policy, the Privacy Policy and the GDPR Consent Notice constitute the entire agreement between the parties in respect of the Sports Star’s relationship with Sportabal.

Order of priority. If there is any inconsistency, the order of priority is: (1) the Star Signup Form; (2) this Agreement; (3) the Refund and Cancellation Policy; (4) the Website Terms of Use; (5) the Privacy Policy and GDPR Consent Notice.

No waiver. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the remainder continue.

Assignment. The Sports Star may not assign without Sportabal’s consent; Sportabal may assign to a group company or a buyer of its business, provided the Sports Star’s rights are not reduced.

Third-party rights. No person other than Sportabal and the Sports Star has any right to enforce this Agreement under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.

Execution

This Agreement and any Star Signup Form are agreed and accepted by the Sports Star electronically on the Platform. No physical signature is required; Sportabal retains an audit trail of the Sports Star’s on-Platform acceptance.
