Terms of Service

ANSports provides software that lets sporting and community clubs manage memberships, payments, fixtures, events and communications, and publish a public website.

Each club is responsible for its own content, its members and how it runs its organisation. ANSports provides the tools; it does not operate the clubs.

You need an account to join a club, and you must give accurate details. You are responsible for keeping your sign-in credentials secure.

Club administrators can grant and revoke roles within their own club. They cannot access data belonging to any other club.

ANSports operates a sponsorship marketplace. Brands apply to us with a budget and the kind of community they want to reach, and we match them to clubs.

By using ANSports, a club agrees to take part in this marketplace: ANSports may present the club to interested brands and may propose sponsorship placements to it.

Every placement is a proposal. A club is never committed to a sponsor it has not accepted, and may decline any placement, for any reason, without penalty. Nothing is charged to a brand for a club placement before that club has accepted it.

Placements are priced from the club’s own sponsorship tiers. ANSports does not set a club’s sponsorship prices, and will not offer a brand a package the club has not published.

Where a club accepts a placement, the club receives its published tier price in full. ANSports’ platform fee is added on top of that price and paid by the brand, so accepting a placement never reduces what the club has advertised.

A club may withdraw from the marketplace at any time by turning off sponsorship enquiries in its settings. Placements already accepted continue for their agreed term.

ANSports does not guarantee that any club will receive sponsorship, or that any brand will be matched. Sponsorship depends on brand demand.

A club remains responsible for meeting whatever it promised in its own sponsorship tier — logo placement, signage, social posts and so on. ANSports introduces the parties and handles payment; it does not deliver the club’s obligations for it.

A brand applying through the marketplace is making an enquiry, not a purchase. Submitting an application creates no obligation on either side until a placement is accepted and paid.

Brands must have the right to use any logo or material they supply, and must not ask a club to promote anything unlawful, or anything unsuitable for a club with junior members.

A club may decline any brand. ANSports may also decline or remove a brand from the marketplace at its discretion, including where a brand would be inappropriate for community and junior sport.

Payments are processed by Stripe. ANSports never stores full card details.

Money is routed to the club’s own Stripe account. The club receives its advertised price; ANSports’ platform fee is added on top and paid by the member, supporter or brand, and is shown to them as a separate line before they pay.

Refunds are issued by the club at its discretion. Where a refund is made, the platform fee is refunded proportionally.

Clubs are responsible for their own tax obligations, including GST, on money they receive.

Do not upload content you do not have the rights to, post material that is unlawful or abusive, or attempt to access data belonging to a club you are not a member of.

Clubs may remove content and members from their own club at their discretion.

We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Scheduled maintenance will be communicated to club administrators where practical.

You can leave a club or close your account at any time. A club can close its ANSports presence at any time.

Records a club is legally required to keep — financial transactions in particular — are retained for as long as the law requires.

When these terms change in a way that alters what a club is agreeing to, club administrators are asked to accept the new version before continuing to use the admin area. Each acceptance is recorded with the version, the person who accepted and the time.
