Terms & Conditions

MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

This agreement constitutes a formal agreement between you as the Team and Soccersixes.

• That I am fully responsible for all bookings made under this membership number and as such thus number should not be divulged to anyone other than Soccersixes staff when bookings are being made.
• I acknowledge and accept the terms contained in the League Entry Agreement andPitch Hire Agreement, including but not limited to, the Notice Period, Cancellation, and Soccersixes' Rights to Recover Unpaid Debts.
• I understand that for other categories of bookings, alternative terms and conditions may apply and I agree to adhere to such terms and conditions.
• Soccersixes may terminate this agreement at its discretion at any time including, without limitation, if any amount payable under this agreement remains outstanding for more than 7 days or I am, or any member of the Team is, in breach of these terms and conditions or such League Rules.
• I am aware, and will make all players on this booking aware that all players participate at their own risk. Teams are encouraged to take out your own insurance if you wish.


Each Team are playing in our leagues under the following Terms & Conditions and Agreements.

1. Participation by the football Team in a Soccersixes league

LEAGUE ENTRY AGREEMENT

I hereby agree to and accept the terms and conditions below for the period of the above league session:

I hereby agree to and accept the terms and conditions below for the period of the above league session:

The Full Season

All teams are signed up to a full season which always consist of 20 games over 20 weeks (2 x 10 week block bookings) (Full Season), notwithstanding that the fixtures may continue beyond Week 20 to allow all teams in a league to play each other 2 or 3 times depending on the size of the league. For the avoidance of any doubt, your Team is not required to continue attending fixtures beyond Week 20 in circumstances where you have given notice (by email to the League Manager) within 2 weeks of the end of the Full Season (that is, on or before Week 18).

Notice Period

Any teams who wish to withdraw from their Soccersixes league before the end of the Full Season (that is, any week before Week 20) must contact the relevant League Manager. The League Manager will make reasonable efforts to find a replacement for your Team. However, it is not always possible to find a replacement. If a replacement team cannot be found, you are responsible for all Pitch Hire Fees up to and including Week 20. We therefore encourage teams to continue playing in fixtures until the end of the Full Season so that their fees are not wasted.

The League Manager

The League Manager is your primary contact throughout the Full Season. Their details can be found above the league table for your team on the Soccersixes website. Please confirm with your League Manager the exact dates of the Full Season, including the date for Week 18 (the date in which notice to withdraw from the league must be given).

Flexible Squad System

Soccersixes operate a flexible squad system so an unlimited amount of players can be used to enable all teams field a team weekly and fulfil each league fixture.

Cancellation

You will pay us the full Pitch Hire Fee (see below) for cancelling a match or failing to attend a fixture. If a match is cancelled on less than 48 hours’ notice and we are unable to arrange your opponents another game you will also pay us the opponent’s Pitch Hire Fee. As Team Organiser you agree to make full payment all fees charges and fines relating to your Team. These are payable to us by debit card or bank transfer within 48 hours of the relevant fixture date.

It is crucial for teams to get game time, so if an opponent team cancels, your Team is required to attend a 'friendly' fixture if an alternative team can be found by Soccersixes. Your team will still be awarded a 5-0 win. You must continue to pay the Pitch Hire Fee for these 'friendly' fixtures.

In the event of a major one-off football event (for example, the World Cup Final) that would prevent multiple teams from attending a fixture, in the best interest of the league and teams, Soccersixes may offer, entirely in its discretion, a reduced cancellation fee of £20, or, an alternative playing time on that day.

Misconduct and Fines

Any player receiving a red card will be fined £10. This is payable before the next fixture, or if your Team is not attending any future fixtures, within 7 days of that player receiving the red card. You as Team Organiser are responsible for this fine. Any unacceptable behaviour which the League Manager considers serious will be reported to the relevant County FA.

Your Deposit

Deposit System:

• Deposits must be paid prior to the team’s first fixture (as communicated to you by the League Manager)
• Teams will have their deposit returned within 14 days of their final game with Soccersixes subject to the following:
  • Teams must not have Pitch Hire Fees (or fines) outstanding;
  • Teams must attend all fixtures in the Full Season. Any teams which miss or cancel a fixture forfeit their deposit for that Full Season. As such, any teams continuing for an additional Full Season must pay a further deposit (as communicated to you by the League Manager).
  • Teams must give 2 weeks' written notice (by email to the relevant League Manager) before the end of the Full Season (Week 18) if they wish to withdraw from the league and have their deposit returned. Any teams which continue for a further Full Season (provided this amount has not been forfeited as above) will have their deposit applied to the additional Full Season.

Soccersixes' Rights to Recover Unpaid Debts (please read this carefully)

If you leave the league at any time with outstanding charges (including any Pitch Hire Fees, fines, or other related charges described above), Soccersixes will take the following steps to recover monies owed:

1. Within 24 hours of a missed fixture, cancelled match, or otherwise unpaid fee, your League Manager will contact the Team Organiser by any means to notify them of the outstanding balance owed.
2. On day 7 of these amounts being outstanding, the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email requesting payment of any outstanding balances owed. During this time, your team will not be permitted to attend their fixtures, but will still be responsible for the Pitch Hire Fee (including for their opponent).
3. On day 14 of these amounts being outstanding the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email again requesting payment of any outstanding balances owed. The Team Organiser is responsible for payment of the Pitch Hire Fee for the Full Season, up to and including Week 20. This includes the additional Full Season if the Team is automatically enrolled. This is payable immediately.
4. On day 28 of these amounts being outstanding the League Manager will write to the Team Organiser by email to notify of any next steps to recover these amounts. This may include referring the amounts due to a third-party debt collection agency.

2. Hire of pitch

Pitch Hire Agreement

By entering into this Pitch Hire Agreement, I hereby agree to and accept the terms and conditions below for the period of the above league session:

• I am signing the Pitch Hire Agreement in my capacity as Team Organiser and I am duly authorised to accept responsibility on behalf of your team for the terms and conditions herein.
• The Pitch Hire Fee as detailed above is payment for the pitch hire on the days and times detailed in the Pitch Hire Agreement Dates section below.
• I agree to pay the above total Pitch Hire Fee either in advance, or by weekly instalments.
• Soccersixes reserves the right to alter the Pitch Hire Fee between the start date and the finish date of the period of hire as detailed above.
• I understand that for each hire under this Pitch Hire Agreement the pitch is made exclusively available to the Team, by Soccersixes. I may however permit any other team/players and any referee access to the pitch for the purposes of playing any league fixture.
• I am aware, and will make the players on bookings made under this Pitch Hire Agreement, aware that all players play at their own risk.
• I agree to pay the pitch hire in full or in 10 weekly instalments.
• I agree to pay the match pitch hire fee for the full block booking. If I am unable to use the allocated pitch time for any reason we will still be liable for the full fees.
• Soccersixes may terminate this Pitch Hire Agreement at its discretion at any time including, without limitation, if any amount payable under this Pitch Hire Agreement remains outstanding for more than 7 days or I am, or any member of the Team is, in breach of these terms and conditions.
• Soccersixes reserve the right to alter match fees at anytime.
• I am aware that Soccersixes is responsible for organising a referee for each match the Team participates in. I accept that we are responsible for payment of these referees, and authorise Soccersixes to make this payment on our behalf.

3. Third Party Referee Services

• We try to arrange a referee to officiate each match, but with shortage of referees in the UK, teams and players in a lot of instances help with this in the local area on the understanding that it is agreed between the Team and the referee, that the referee is supplying his or her services as a self-employed individual acting as a principal and that the referee is not acting on behalf of Soccersixes in any capacity. Each Team will be responsible for paying the match referee for the match referees services.
• In agreeing to these terms and conditions, Teams accept responsibility for making payment to referees, and that the services of the referees are additional to the provision of the Pitch Hire as well as the League services supplied by Soccersixes.

4. Cards Accepted




5. Refund policy

• On acceptance of these terms. you agree to enter the Soccersixes league for a Full Season. Any payments made in full or part to the amounts due under the Pitch Hire and/or League Entry Agreements are non-refundable.
• In exceptional circumstances Soccersixes will, at its absolute discretion, consider requests for a refund. You may write to the relevant League Manager by email requesting the refund. There is no obligation for Soccersixes to agree to any such requests.

6. Complaint Procedure & System

COVID-19 SOCCERSIXES GUIDELINES

I declare that during the Covid-19 outbreak I will adhere to the following:

• Pre-event symptom check
• All participants, officials, volunteers and spectators must undergo a self-assessment for any COVID-19 symptoms. No-one should leave home to participate in sport or officiate if they, or someone they live with, has any of the following:
• A high temperature
• A new, continuous cough
• A loss of, or change to, their sense of smell or taste
• Should an individual have demonstrated any such symptoms, they must follow NHS and PHE guidance on self-isolation.
• Participants will be made aware of any increased risk associated with taking part in activity, based on the assessment undertaken by the event organiser. They should also be strongly advised to comply with public health restrictions and avoid high risk behaviour outside the sports setting to reduce the risk to their fellow participants when they do attend.
• Stay Alert – you must maintain good hygiene, hand washing and social distancing. Make yourself aware of the measures being taken to provide a safe environment. If you are not happy with the arrangements that have been made, then you should remove yourself from that environment.
• In line with Government guidance on travel, you should travel to the venue alone or only with another member of your household, or via a socially-distant method (e.g. cycling). You should consider all other forms of transport before using public transport. There must be no car-sharing with anyone outside your household. Please arrive shortly before the session starts and leave when it finishes.
• You should arrive changed and ready to exercise.
• Avoid touching equipment e.g. cones and footballs. The focus should be on kicking the ball and limiting any touching of the ball with hands.
• Clubs/facilities may arrange a parking system that avoids users congregating and also implement a clearly signposted ‘one-way’ system into and out of the facilities.
• If access to a facility is required, hand-cleaning facilities should be provided. Please use them regularly. If there is no facility for running/clean water at the venue, please bring hand sanitiser with you.
• You should refrain from spitting. If you need to sneeze or cough, you are encouraged to do so into a tissue or upper sleeve and advised to avoid touching your face. Ensure any tissues are disposed of in a sealed bin as soon as possible.
• Equipment should be handled as little as possible by as few people as possible. Where equipment is handled by more than one person, they should wash their hands immediately afterwards, taking care not to touch their mouth/face in the meantime. For goalkeepers, it might be sensible for players to have their own individual ball for the session, with wiping of the ball using disinfectant wipes every so often if it is being handled by more than one person.
• Ensure you take your own water bottle that is clearly recognisable. Do not share your drink with anyone else.
• If you get injured, a member of your household can assist you, if present, but others will still need to socially distance unless a life or limb-threatening injury necessitates compromising guidelines to provide emergency care. If there is a first-aider or other medical personnel present, they should be equipped with the appropriate PPE to protect themselves and others if they need to compromise social-distancing guidelines to provide medical assistance.
• If you become symptomatic during the session, you should immediately remove yourself from the session and return home as soon as possible. NHS guidance on further management of symptoms should be followed.
• When the session is finished, you should leave the venue rather than congregate, and avoid congestion at gates or doors.
• All participants should wash hands at the earliest opportunity and personal equipment should be wiped down with a disinfectant.
