1.2 Changes to these Terms

2.1 Accuracy of information

You agree to provide information that is accurate, complete, and up to date when you submit enquiries or apply for Services. You must not impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, age, academic standing, or sporting history.

2.2 Account security (if applicable)

If we provide user accounts or portals, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login details and for all activity that occurs under your account.

3. Our Services (overview)

SLI Sports provides services to support student-athletes and athletes, including:

  • introductions and support to connect athletes with colleges, universities, sporting academies or clubs;

  • information and guidance about pathways, scholarships, eligibility criteria and application processes;

  • arranging and/or facilitating sports tours, showcases, camps, training opportunities, and related travel experiences; and

  • coordinating with Partners to deliver events or services.

 

3.1 No guarantee of outcomes

While we aim to create opportunities and provide high-quality guidance, we do not guarantee any outcome, including (without limitation) scholarships, selection, admission, team placement, visas, playing time, professional contracts, or specific training results. Decisions are made by third parties, including colleges, academies, clubs, coaches, and authorities.

 

3.2 Not a school, college, or immigration advisor

Unless expressly stated otherwise in writing:

  • we are not a college or university and do not issue admissions decisions;

  • we are not a registered migration/immigration agent or legal advisor and do not provide immigration legal advice;

  • we do not represent any college or academy as an agent unless explicitly agreed in writing; and

  • you should obtain independent professional advice where needed (including legal, medical, financial, academic, or immigration advice).

 

3.3 Recruiting and compliance

Athlete recruitment is regulated in many countries and leagues (including collegiate sport organisations). We do not provide compliance advice for any specific association. You are responsible for ensuring your actions comply with the rules applicable to you, and institutions are responsible for complying with their own recruiting rules. We may refuse, suspend, or stop providing Services if we believe a request would breach applicable rules or laws.

 

4. Enquiries, bookings, and contracts

Any enquiry through the Website is an invitation to request information. A binding contract for Services is formed only when we confirm in writing (for example, by a signed agreement, booking confirmation, invoice confirmation, or other written acceptance). Specific Services may be subject to additional terms (Service Terms) provided at the time of booking.

4.1 Communications

By submitting an enquiry, you consent to us contacting you by email, phone, messaging apps, and/or SMS for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and providing Services. Marketing communications (if any) will be sent in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable marketing laws. You may opt out of marketing messages at any time.

5. Fees, payments, and refunds

Fees (if applicable) will be disclosed before you purchase Services. Unless otherwise stated, all prices are in United States dollars (USD) and are exclusive of any taxes that may apply.

5.1 Payment terms

  • Payment is due as stated on the invoice or booking confirmation.

  • We may require deposits, staged payments, or full prepayment depending on the Service.

  • If payment is not received when due, we may suspend or cancel the Services and/or charge reasonable administration costs.

 

5.2 Refunds and cancellations (general)

Refund and cancellation terms may vary depending on the Service and the Partners involved. Unless a specific written policy applies, the following general approach applies:

  • Any non-refundable amounts (for example, Partner fees, booking fees, or third-party costs already incurred) will not be refunded.

  • If you cancel, we may retain a reasonable portion of fees to cover administration and planning costs.

  • If we cancel due to circumstances within our control, we will provide a refund or credit for amounts paid to us for the cancelled portion, unless we offer a suitable alternative that you accept.

  • If an event is cancelled or rescheduled due to circumstances outside our control (see section 14 Force Majeure), refunds are subject to third-party policies and we will work with you in good faith to seek a practical outcome.

 

5.3 Chargebacks

If you initiate a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting us to try to resolve the issue, we may suspend Services and recover reasonable costs incurred in responding to the dispute.

 

6. Sports tours, events, and travel

6.5 Insurance

We strongly recommend that you obtain appropriate insurance, which may include travel insurance, medical insurance, personal accident insurance, and insurance for sporting activities. Unless stated otherwise in writing, we do not provide insurance and are not responsible for any uninsured losses.
