CourtBound Terms of Use

Last updated: 5 May 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the CourtBound platform at getcourtbound.com (the "Platform"), operated by CourtBound Limited, a company registered in England and Wales ("we", "us", "our"). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.

1. About CourtBound

CourtBound is a digital platform designed to help athletes based in the United Kingdom and Europe research US colleges, manage basketball scholarship outreach, and track their recruitment journey. We provide tools including a college database, AI-powered matching, communication templates, and tracking features.

CourtBound does not act as a sports agent, recruitment agency, or educational adviser. We provide a self-service platform only. We make no guarantee that use of the Platform will result in a scholarship offer or college placement.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

To use the Platform you must:

  • Be at least 13 years of age
  • If under 18, have the consent of a parent or guardian, who must create and manage the account on your behalf
  • Provide accurate and complete registration information
  • Keep your login credentials secure and not share them with others

You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. If you suspect unauthorised access, please contact us immediately at support@getcourtbound.com.

Parents and guardians who create accounts on behalf of athletes under 18 accept these Terms on behalf of the minor and take full responsibility for appropriate use of the Platform.

3. Subscription Plans and Payment

CourtBound offers the following subscription tiers:

  • Explorer (Free): limited access to core features as described on our pricing page
  • Recruit (Basic): expanded access billed monthly or annually
  • Scholarship (Premium): full access to all features including AI match, billed monthly or annually

All paid subscriptions are processed securely through Stripe. By subscribing you authorise Stripe to charge your payment method on the applicable billing cycle. Prices are displayed in GBP and are inclusive of any applicable VAT. We reserve the right to change our pricing with 30 days' notice to existing subscribers.

Annual subscriptions are charged upfront for the full year. Monthly subscriptions renew automatically each month unless cancelled.

4. Cancellation and Refunds

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain access until that date.

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee on your first paid subscription. If you are not satisfied within 14 days of your first payment, contact us at support@getcourtbound.com for a full refund. After the 14-day period, we do not offer refunds for partial billing periods, except where required by applicable consumer protection law.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. You must not:

  • Use the Platform to send unsolicited or misleading communications to coaches or colleges
  • Upload false, inaccurate, or misleading information about yourself or an athlete
  • Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or extract data from the Platform
  • Share your account credentials with third parties or allow others to access your account
  • Use the Platform in any way that violates applicable laws or regulations, including NCAA or NAIA recruitment rules
  • Upload content that is defamatory, offensive, or infringes the intellectual property rights of others

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that breach these rules without refund.

6. NCAA and NAIA Compliance

It is your responsibility to ensure that your use of the Platform complies with all applicable NCAA, NAIA, and other governing body rules regarding student-athlete recruitment. CourtBound provides general information and tools only. We are not affiliated with the NCAA, NAIA, or any college or university, and we do not provide compliance advice. If you are unsure whether a particular action complies with recruitment rules, you should consult the relevant governing body directly.

7. AI Features and Accuracy

The AI match and strategy advisor features are provided for guidance purposes only. They are based on publicly available information and the data you provide. CourtBound does not warrant that AI-generated match scores, likelihood percentages, or strategic recommendations are accurate, complete, or will produce any particular outcome. You should not rely solely on AI-generated information when making decisions about college applications or scholarship outreach. Always conduct your own research and seek independent advice where appropriate.

8. Intellectual Property

All content on the Platform, including but not limited to the college database, templates, AI matching system, design, and software, is owned by or licensed to CourtBound Limited and is protected by intellectual property law. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from any Platform content without our prior written consent.

By uploading content to the Platform (such as athlete profile information, statistics, or links to highlight reels), you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use that content solely for the purpose of providing the service to you.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

  • That the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses
  • That the college database is complete or up to date
  • That use of the Platform will result in a scholarship offer or college acceptance
  • The accuracy of any AI-generated recommendations or match scores

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, CourtBound Limited shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential losses arising from your use of the Platform, including but not limited to loss of scholarship opportunity, loss of data, or loss of revenue. Our total aggregate liability to you in connection with the Platform shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law. If you are a consumer, you may have additional statutory rights that these Terms do not affect.

11. Third-Party Links and Services

The Platform may contain links to third-party websites including college websites, NCAA and NAIA resources, and social media platforms. These links are provided for convenience only. CourtBound is not responsible for the content or practices of third-party sites and your use of them is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us at support@getcourtbound.com. Upon termination, your right to use the Platform ceases immediately.

13. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes in our service or applicable law. Where changes are material, we will notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
