INFORMATION ABOUT US AND THE ALLOFFICIALS PLATFORM
  1. Sports Technologies Ltd is a registered company and owner of AllOfficials.co.uk.
  2. AllOfficials provides an online platform to connect Sports Officials of all types with Event Organisers who are in need of their services. ‘Sports Official(s)’ and ‘Event Organiser(s)’ are hereinafter referred to as “Users.”
  3. Other than as provided in paragraph 1 above AllOfficials does not perform any services and does not employ individuals to perform services. AllOfficials does not supervise, direct or control the work of Sports Officials or the Jobs in any manner, and provides no warranties or guarantees in respect of the same, which the Event Organiser hereby acknowledges.
  4. The AllOfficials Platform only enables connections between Users for the fulfilment of Jobs. AllOfficials is not responsible for the performance of Users, nor does it have control over the quality, timing, legality, failure to provide, or any other aspect whatsoever of Jobs, Sports Officials, clients, nor of the integrity, responsibility, qualifications or any of the actions or omissions whatsoever of any Users. AllOfficials makes no representations about the suitability, reliability, timeliness, or accuracy of the Jobs posted and services provided by Users identified through the AllOfficials Platform whether in public, private, or offline interactions.
  5. The AllOfficials Platform provides Event Organisers with access to a Job Board where they can post Jobs. These can then be Accepted by Sports Officials. Sports Officials may search the Job Board using filters. Sports Officials will be presented with Featured Jobs and Urgent Jobs. Featured jobs are those for which Event Organisers have paid a premium in order that they are placed at a higher position on the Job Board. Urgent jobs are those which are to occur in the next week. An administration fee equal to 10% is payable to AllOfficials by the Official in consideration for the Sports Officials’ use of the AllOfficials Platform.
  6. If You agree on the terms of a Job with another User, You and such other User form an agreement directly between the two of you (a “Service Agreement”).
  7. Event Organisers are given the opportunity to set their own fee for each Job they request. AllOfficials does not set the fee for each Job (“Fee”). However, an administration fee equal to 20% of such Fee is payable to AllOfficials by the Event Organiser in consideration for that Event Organiser’s use of the AllOfficials Platform. The total cost of a Job to an Event Organiser is set out on the Platform before payment is made and a Job is posted.
  8. Event Organisers are required to pay an administration fee in respect of all transactions made through the AllOfficials Platform (“Administration Fee”). The Administration Fee is subject to change by AllOfficials at its sole discretion from time to time on notice to Event Organisers. A minimum Administration Fee of £4.00 shall apply to each transaction.
  9. We recommend that any Event Organiser, before entering into a Service Agreement with any Sports Official, obtain confirmation of insurance cover, guarantees, qualifications and any other necessary documentation. If You suffer any problems or losses as a result of not obtaining or verifying these details, AllOfficials will not be liable. All insurance matters are left to the Users. AllOfficials does not accept any responsibility for any insurance issues that may arise as a result of the Job.
  10. We recommend that all Event Organisers, when posting a Job, provide an accurate description of the roles and responsibilities of the Sports Official in the Job Description section. This will help ensure that you hire a Sports Official that is adequate for Your Event. This is also necessary when posting a Job for ‘unqualified Officials’. AllOfficials do not accept any responsibility for any inadequate Sports Officials hired through the Platform.
  11. When interacting with other Users, You should exercise caution and common sense to protect Your personal safety and property, just as You would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know. Neither AllOfficials nor its affiliates or licensors is responsible for the conduct, whether online or offline, of any user of the Platform
YOUR AGREEMENT WITH US
  1. You acknowledge and agree that a Service Agreement is formed when You agree on the terms of a Job with another User and a Sports Official Accepts a Job posted on the Job Board. You agree that AllOfficials is not a party to any Service Agreement and the formation of a Service Agreement will not, under any circumstance, create an employment or other service relationship between AllOfficials and the User.
  2. Your interactions with organisations and/or individuals found on or through the Platform, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings (“User Dealings”), are solely between You and such organisations and/or individuals.
FEATURED JOBS
  1. When posting a Job to the Platform’s Job board, Event Organisers will have the option to make each Job ‘featured’. Event Organisers are required to pay AllOfficials £4.00 (or such other fees that might be notified to users from time to time) for each Featured Job posted, in addition to the Administration Fee. Featured Jobs will remain featured for 7 days, after which, they will become standard Jobs on the Job board.
  2. Featured Jobs will be ordered on the Job board depending on which Event has the closest due date.
  3. Featured Jobs will show to Sports Officials within a 50-mile radius of the venue of the Event.
AMENDING A JOB
  1. All cancellations or amendments to a Job must be made through the AllOfficials Platform.
  2. Any amendments to a Job (except decreases in pay) can be made by an Event Organiser at any time prior to a Sports Official having Accepted such Job. An Event Organiser can remove a Job from the Job Board if it has not yet been Accepted and will receive a full refund for those Officials including the Administration Fee.
  3. Once a Job has been posted on the AllOfficials Platform, Event Organisers may not make reductions to the pay they have set for that Job.
  4. If a Sports Official has Accepted the Job, and there are less than four days to the date of the Job, no amendments to the Job can be made.
  5. If a Sports Official has Accepted the Job and there are four days or more until the date of the Job, Event Organisers can, subject to paragraph [19], post any amendment to the Job. At this point, a notification of the amendment will be sent by email to the Sports Official who has Accepted the Job and the Sports Official can either Accept or reject the updated Job. If the changes are Accepted, the Job is updated on the Platform, if the amendment is rejected by the Sports Official, the Job will go back to the Job board. If no other Sports Official Accepts the amended job, a refund is paid to the Event Organiser, less the Administration Fee.
  6. If there are four days or more to the date of the Job, the Event Organiser may amend the Job by reducing the number of Sports Officials required. If it does so, it will receive a refund in respect of those Sports Officials no longer required as well as the Administration Fee, provided that the Sports Official has not Accepted the Job. If the Sports Official has Accepted the Job, the Administration Fee will not be refunded.
CANCELLATIONS BY SPORTS OFFICIALS
  1. Sports Officials shall be entitled to cancel their Acceptance of a Job at any time subject to the following paragraphs [25-27].
  2. If a Sports Official cancels a Job it has Accepted with 7 days or less to the event date, the AllOfficials Platform will automatically react in order to increase the chances of securing another Sports Official. Users agree to the AllOfficials Platform reacting in the following ways:
    • The Platform will no longer consider the star rating of the Sports Officials who can apply to Accept the Job; and
    • Notifications will go out to all local Sports Officials with adequate qualifications, within 50 miles of the venue of the Event, based on the registered address in the Sports Official’s account.
  3. Cancellations of Accepted Jobs by Sports Officials will have a negative impact on their star rating although Sports Officials can cancel if there are 14 days or more to the event date without affecting their rating. The impact of a cancellation on a Sports Official’s star rating is calculated by taking into account the total number of completed Jobs and the total number of cancelled Jobs by a Sports Official. Therefore, Sports Officials with fewer completed Jobs and higher cancelled Jobs will see a larger negative impact on their star rating.
  1. Sports Officials who cancel their Acceptance of a Job will not be permitted to Accept another Job which occurs on the same day as the cancelled Job.
CANCELLATIONS BY EVENT ORGANISERS
  1. If an Event Organiser cancels a Job with less than 4 days left to the event and a Sports Official(s) has Accepted the Job, full payment is required and no refund will be given to the Event Organiser.
  2. If an Event Organiser cancels a Job with 4 days or more left to the Event, as set out in the original Job post, this will result in a refund being provided by AllOfficials in respect of those Sports Officials that have Accepted the Job, minus the Administration Fee. A full refund will be made for any cancelled Job where no Sports Officials have Accepted at the time of cancellation (provided always that there is more than 4 days left until the date of the Event).
  3. Not withstanding any other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Administration Fee in relation to a Sports Official will always be retained by AllOfficials for any Sports Officials who have Accepted a Job, regardless of the time of cancellation.
REFUNDS
  1. Refunds are granted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The final decision on all refunds lies with AllOfficials and at its sole discretion and (save as provided elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions) are always subject to the Administration Fee.
BILLING AND PAYMENT
  1. Users of the AllOfficials Platform contract for Jobs directly with other Users. AllOfficials will not be a party to any Service Agreements.
  2. Event Organisers of the AllOfficials Platform will be required to provide their credit card or bank account details to the payment service provider (PSP). Payment and fees must be paid through the PSP as indicated on the AllOfficials Platform.
  3. Sports Officials may be required to register with the PSP, agree to the Terms of Service of the PSP and go through a vetting process at the request of the PSP to set up their account with the PSP. AllOfficials has no obligations or liability to any User in respect of services provided by the PSP.
  4. Event Organisers shall pay the Fee and the Administration Fee and for any Featured Jobs as provided for in these Terms and Conditions through the PSP as indicated on the AllOfficials Platform before posting a Job, at the rates presented upon completing the Job posting form.
  5. Unless AllOfficials is informed that the Event did not take place and/or the Sports Official did not perform the services in the Service Agreement, four days after the Event has occurred, the PSP will automatically make payments:
    1. owed to the Sports Official; and
    2. the Administration Fee owed to AllOfficials for the use of the Platform.

Featured Jobs will remain featured for 7 days, after which, they will become standard Jobs on the Job board.
  2. Featured Jobs will be ordered on the Job board depending on which Event has the closest due date.
  3. Featured Jobs will show to Sports Officials within a 50-mile radius of the venue of the Event.
AMENDING A JOB
  1. All cancellations or amendments to a Job must be made through the AllOfficials Platform.
  2. Any amendments to a Job (except decreases in pay) can be made by an Event Organiser at any time prior to a Sports Official having Accepted such Job. An Event Organiser can remove a Job from the Job Board if it has not yet been Accepted and will receive a full refund for those Officials including the Administration Fee.
  3. Once a Job has been posted on the AllOfficials Platform, Event Organisers may not make reductions to the pay they have set for that Job.
  4. If a Sports Official has Accepted the Job, and there are less than four days to the date of the Job, no amendments to the Job can be made.
  5. If a Sports Official has Accepted the Job and there are four days or more until the date of the Job, Event Organisers can, subject to paragraph [19], post any amendment to the Job. At this point, a notification of the amendment will be sent by email to the Sports Official who has Accepted the Job and the Sports Official can either Accept or reject the updated Job. If the changes are Accepted, the Job is updated on the Platform, if the amendment is rejected by the Sports Official, the Job will go back to the Job board. If no other Sports Official Accepts the amended job, a refund is paid to the Event Organiser, less the Administration Fee.
  6. If there are four days or more to the date of the Job, the Event Organiser may amend the Job by reducing the number of Sports Officials required. If it does so, it will receive a refund in respect of those Sports Officials no longer required as well as the Administration Fee, provided that the Sports Official has not Accepted the Job. If the Sports Official has Accepted the Job, the Administration Fee will not be refunded.
CANCELLATIONS BY SPORTS OFFICIALS
  1. Sports Officials shall be entitled to cancel their Acceptance of a Job at any time subject to the following paragraphs [25-27].
  2. If a Sports Official cancels a Job it has Accepted with 7 days or less to the event date, the AllOfficials Platform will automatically react in order to increase the chances of securing another Sports Official. Users agree to the AllOfficials Platform reacting in the following ways:  The Platform will no longer consider the star rating of the Sports Officials who can apply to Accept the Job; and  Notifications will go out to all local Sports Officials with adequate qualifications, within 50 miles of the venue of the Event, based on the registered address in the Sports Official’s account.
  3. Cancellations of Accepted Jobs by Sports Officials will have a negative impact on their star rating although Sports Officials can cancel if there are 14 days or more to the event date without affecting their rating. The impact of a cancellation on a Sports Official’s star rating is calculated by taking into account the total number of completed Jobs and the total number of cancelled Jobs by a Sports Official. Therefore, Sports Officials with fewer completed Jobs and higher cancelled Jobs will see a larger negative impact on their star rating.
  4. Sports Officials who cancel their Acceptance of a Job will not be permitted to Accept another Job which occurs on the same day as the cancelled Job.
CANCELLATIONS BY EVENT ORGANISERS
  1. If an Event Organiser cancels a Job with less than 4 days left to the event and a Sports Official(s) has Accepted the Job, full payment is required and no refund will be given to the Event Organiser.
  2. If an Event Organiser cancels a Job with 4 days or more left to the Event, as set out in the original Job post, this will result in a refund being provided by AllOfficials in respect of those Sports Officials that have Accepted the Job, minus the Administration Fee. A full refund will be made for any cancelled Job where no Sports Officials have Accepted at the time of cancellation (provided always that there is more than 4 days left until the date of the Event).
  3. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Administration Fee in relation to a Sports Official will always be retained by AllOfficials for any Sports Officials who have Accepted a Job, regardless of the time of cancellation.
REFUNDS
  1. Refunds are granted in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. The final decision on all refunds lies with AllOfficials and at its sole discretion and (save as provided elsewhere in these Terms and Conditions) are always subject to the Administration Fee.

  4. Event Organisers shall pay the Fee and the Administration Fee and for any Featured Jobs as provided for in these Terms and Conditions through the PSP as indicated on the AllOfficials Platform before posting a Job, at the rates presented upon completing the Job posting form.
  5.
