In case of notice of any infringement of this nature, POSSESSION FOOTBALL will contact the User immediately requiring them to remove the content from the Platform which is considered inappropriate or which could violate the rights of third parties.

4. USER SERVICES

Through the Services offered on the Website, POSSESSION FOOTBALL makes available to the User, through the Platform, a repository of training content resources, aimed at football team coaches and/or players. Access to the Platform includes access to the Contents that make up the Platform, all of which are intended for use by Users for training purposes.

5. ACCESS TO THE PLATFORM: CONTRACTING PROCEDURE

Access to the Services by the Users is subject to the prior contracting and payment of an amount of money in the form determined by POSSESSION FOOTBALL. Minors are not allowed to contract the Services.

The User must have a device (terminal/PC/Tablet/mobile phone…) that has a compatible operating system, as well as access and a secure connection to the Internet, the cost of which will be assumed by the User with the telephone provider they have chosen. POSSESSION FOOTBALL hereby informs that the contents are optimised for viewing via PC or tablet.

To access or use the Platform, the User must be registered on it, filling in the fields that are required in the corresponding Form, to create their own Account.

To register, the User must generate a Username and a Password that will be personal, confidential and non-transferable. They will be obliged not to share these with third parties. The User must also provide a valid email address, through which communications and/or notifications regarding the Services can be established. Once the Platform has been accessed for the first time, it is recommended that the password is changed in order to ensure greater security.

The Services provided to the User through the Account created will be personal and non-transferable. Any assignment, transfer, sublicensing, etc., of the rights conferred by POSSESSION FOOTBALL to the User is therefore forbidden. By registering, it will be understood that the User has totally accepted these Conditions of Use of the Service, as well as the Privacy Policy.

In the event that the Services have been contracted by an Entity (for example, a Club) that has acquired a certain number of users (whose number is specified in the Service Provision Agreement linked to these Conditions), POSSESSION FOOTBALL will provide said number of users and passwords, and said Entity shall be solely liable vis-à-vis POSSESSION FOOTBALL for any actions, uses contrary to the Conditions specified herein, etc., that Users and Linked Third Parties may carry out in relation to the Platform.

Guarantees provided by the User:

  • By registering, the User guarantees to be of legal age and to have full capacity to act. In addition, in the case of signing contracts on behalf of a legal entity or a third party, the User guarantees POSSESSION FOOTBALL that it has sufficient power of representation to enter into contracts in accordance with the applicable legislation in force at any given time.
  • Likewise, the User guarantees and responds to POSSESSION FOOTBALL and/or any authority, confirming that all registration data are true, accurate, complete and up to date. To this end, the User is obliged to notify POSSESSION FOOTBALL of any changes to this data.
  • The User is solely liable for the use of their Account. In the event of any loss or improper use of the Username and/or Password, the User must immediately change the latter within a maximum period of twenty-four (24) hours from the time they became aware of it. If the User does not make this modification within the established period of time, they will be solely liable for the damages caused as a result of the non-consensual or improper use of their Account, whether vis-à-vis POSSESSION FOOTBALL or any other third party.
  • The User acknowledges and accepts that under no circumstances will POSSESSION FOOTBALL be liable for the acts or omissions of the Users or the Third Parties whether or not they are Linked, including any damages and injuries derived from such acts or omissions.

6. INTELLECTUAL AND INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY

All Intellectual and Industrial Property rights on the Platform belong exclusively to POSSESSION FOOTBALL. This intellectual property also covers the software, its source code and the structure of its database. Likewise, POSSESSION FOOTBALL is the owner of all the industrial property rights over the distinctive signs included in the Platform or in the materials generated by it.
Acceptance of these Conditions does not imply the transfer of any type of right over the Platform, its contents, tools, materials or distinctive signs. Thus, apart from the actions expressly permitted, the User may not without the prior and express authorisation of POSSESSION FOOTBALL reproduce (by any means, physical or digital), distribute through any means, communicate publicly, make available to the public or transform (including but not limited to any translations, adaptations, modifications, etc.) in any way all or part of the Platform.

The User will respond to POSSESSION FOOTBALL, keeping it harmless, from any claim, judicial, extrajudicial, administrative, or any kind of which POSSESSION FOOTBALL could be a recipient as a result of the violation of the obligations assumed in this clause. In this regard, the User agrees to compensate POSSESSION FOOTBALL for any damages that, directly or indirectly, such unauthorised use by users may cause. Any violation of these obligations by the User will also result in a serious breach of the Conditions which will entitle POSSESSION FOOTBALL to terminate the Service Agreement linked to these Conditions.

7. AUTHORISED USES OF THE PLATFORM:

7.1. General provisions regarding the use of the Content offered by POSSESSION FOOTBALL

Once the registration has been properly completed, the Users will be able to access through the Platform the available contents in the terms allowed by these Conditions.

POSSESSION FOOTBALL AUTHORISES THE USER, ON A NON-EXCLUSIVE BASIS AND ONLY FOR AS LONG AS THEIR ACCOUNT REMAINS ACTIVE, TO REPRODUCE, DISTRIBUTE AND PUBLICLY COMMUNICATE (WITHOUT MAKING IT AVAILABLE) THE CONTENT AVAILABLE ON THE PLATFORM EXCLUSIVELY TO THE LINKED THIRD PARTIES AND ONLY FOR TRAINING PURPOSES.

In the event that the Contents of the Platform are displayed or distributed to Third Parties, the User agrees to transfer to them the obligations and responsibilities arising from these Conditions. The User shall be solely liable to POSSESSION FOOTBALL for the uses made by the Linked Third Parties of such Content, and shall indemnify POSSESSION FOOTBALL.

Apart from the cases provided for in the previous paragraph, the rights conferred on the User are non-transferable, meaning that the User may not assign them either totally or partially without the prior express written consent of POSSESSION FOOTBALL.

7.2. Content generated by the User

The Users may generate their own content (such as videos) resulting from their training with POSSESSION FOOTBALL and offer it to this company for publication on the website https://members.cruyfffootball.com

In these cases, the User authorises POSSESSION FOOTBALL to use of such files or content (including their reproduction, distribution and access to the public through any form of public communication), through digital or electronic media, and all audiovisual and/or graphic media that already exists or that may be created in the future, such as (but not limited to): POSSESSION FOOTBALL’s web pages, Internet broadcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any other POSSESSION FOOTBALL social networks. This authorisation is granted for the entire world and for the duration of the Service Provision Agreement.

The Content generated by the Users will be the exclusive responsibility of the User, exempting POSSESSION FOOTBALL from any damage or harm that the use of such content may cause, directly or indirectly, to any third party, as well as from the inaccuracies, omissions, incorrectness, etc. thereof.

In any case, the Contents generated by the Users will have to meet the requirements established in these Conditions, as well as to respect the legislation of Intellectual and Industrial Property in force at any moment. In the event that any User uploads content (e.g., photographs or video), it shall be their sole responsibility to have the appropriate authorisations for this purpose, including consents and authorisations relating to image rights of individuals, whether they are adults or minors.

8. EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED USES

Since the only permitted use of the Contents is for training purposes, the following, among others, is expressly prohibited:

  • Use the Contents or the rights conferred by them as their own.
  • Outside the uses authorised by POSSESSION FOOTBALL to the Users, to reproduce, distribute, allow access to the public through any means of public communication, transform or modify the Contents, unless they have the authorisation of the owner of the corresponding rights or express legal provision that authorises it.
  • Use the Contents to create any Industrial Property Rights such as brands, commercial names or any others susceptible of protection.
  • Use the Content in a manner that competes with the Services offered by POSSESSION FOOTBALL.
  • Use the Contents or any information derived from them, as well as any information obtained from the Website or the Platform, to send advertising or any other communications or commercial purposes.

  • Rent, sell, donate, transfer or any other act of transmission of the Contents to any other person.
  • Make any use of the Content contrary to the law, morality or public order, or any other use that could damage the rights of any kind held by the owners of the Content or any person who appears in it.
  • Any other use for purposes other than those expressly detailed in these Conditions and, in particular, any use for purposes other than training.
  • In particular, any use that could violate the rights of Intellectual Property or Industry Content, or any other rights of third parties outside the Services or the Platform.

THE CARRYING OUT OF ANY OF THE PROHIBITED USES, OR USES WHICH ARE NOT EXPRESSLY PERMITTED, WILL BE SUFFICIENT REASON FOR POSSESSION FOOTBALL TO CANCEL THE REGISTRATION, AUTOMATICALLY, IMMEDIATELY AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE, WITHOUT THE OFFENDING USER HAVING THE RIGHT TO A REFUND OF THE AMOUNTS ALREADY PAID AND, THEREFORE, WITHOUT THE RIGHT TO ANY COMPENSATION.
