Listing Guidelines

By submitting or claiming a league listing on SoccerLeagues.org ("the Platform," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("Submitter," "League Operator," or "you") unconditionally agree to be bound by these Listing Guidelines ("Guidelines"), our Terms of Use, and our Privacy Policy, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.

These Guidelines constitute a binding legal agreement between you and SoccerLeagues.org. If you do not agree to these Guidelines in their entirety, you must not submit, claim, or manage any listing on the Platform.

We reserve the right to modify these Guidelines at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Platform following any modification constitutes your acceptance of the revised Guidelines.

Only legitimate, actively operating soccer leagues or programs may be submitted. You represent and warrant that: (a) you are authorized to submit and manage the listing on behalf of the league; (b) all information provided is accurate, complete, and not misleading; (c) the league is a real, operating organization and not fictitious, inactive, or fraudulent; and (d) you are at least 18 years of age.

Each listing must include a valid league name, operating city and state, and at least one accurate contact method. Submissions that omit required fields or contain placeholder, test, or nonsensical data will be rejected or removed without notice.

Duplicate submissions for the same league are prohibited. Submitting multiple listings for the same organization in an attempt to gain additional visibility constitutes abuse and may result in permanent removal of all associated listings.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and currency of all information in your listing at all times. SoccerLeagues.org does not verify, endorse, or guarantee the accuracy of any listing content.

You agree to promptly update your listing whenever material information changes, including but not limited to: contact information, league status, location, schedule, fees, age groups, or format. Listings that become materially inaccurate and are not corrected within a reasonable time following notice from us may be removed.

SoccerLeagues.org expressly disclaims all liability for any loss, harm, or inconvenience suffered by any person as a result of relying on inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete listing information. The Submitter bears full responsibility for any such harm.

The following content and conduct are strictly prohibited and constitute grounds for immediate removal and potential legal action:

(a) False, misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent information of any kind; (b) content that infringes any third-party intellectual property rights, including trademarks, copyrights, or trade dress; (c) content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, obscene, or otherwise unlawful; (d) unsolicited commercial messages, spam, or promotional content unrelated to the league's legitimate operations; (e) content designed to manipulate search rankings, including keyword stuffing, cloaking, or other deceptive SEO practices; (f) listings for organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law; (g) any attempt to impersonate another league, organization, or individual; and (h) any content that violates applicable federal, state, or local law.

Videos must be relevant to the league or club, appropriate for a general audience, and posted only when the organizer has the necessary rights or permission to share them. Videos must also comply with applicable law and the policies of the hosting platform, including YouTube or Vimeo. SoccerLeagues.org may remove or restrict videos that violate these guidelines.

SoccerLeagues.org is committed to protecting the privacy of minors. League organizers must not publicly post players' personal information, including birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or other sensitive identifying information.

When player registration is enabled, personal information may be collected and maintained through the registration system. Registration records are intended for authorized access and are not displayed publicly.

For minors, registration must be completed by a parent or legal guardian. League organizers are responsible for handling registration information appropriately and complying with applicable privacy laws.

Public league listings, schedules, scores, standings, and announcements should remain at the league, division, and team level without exposing individual players' personal information.

By submitting a listing, you grant SoccerLeagues.org a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, display, distribute, and adapt the submitted content (including league name, description, logos, and other materials) for the purpose of operating, promoting, and improving the Platform.

You represent and warrant that you own or have all necessary rights to grant the foregoing license, and that the submitted content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights.

SoccerLeagues.org retains all right, title, and interest in and to the Platform, including all software, design, trademarks, and compilation of listing data. Nothing in these Guidelines transfers any ownership rights to you.

SoccerLeagues.org reserves the absolute right, in its sole and unfettered discretion, to review, approve, reject, edit, suspend, or permanently remove any listing at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you or any third party.

Grounds for removal include, without limitation: violation of these Guidelines or our Terms of Use; receipt of credible complaints from third parties; inaccuracy or staleness of listing content; suspected fraudulent or abusive activity; or any other reason we deem appropriate in our sole judgment.

We are under no obligation to provide reasons for any moderation decision. Removal of a listing does not entitle you to any refund, compensation, or other remedy. Repeated violations may result in permanent suspension of your account and all associated listings.

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE PLATFORM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY LISTING CONTENT.
