Terms of Service

By accessing or using Hoofoot.net (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. It's straightforward, if you're here, these terms apply to you. If you disagree with any part of them, please don't use the site. We don't want anyone feeling trapped.

These terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone else who accesses the Service. They form a legally binding agreement between you and Hoofoot.net, so please read them carefully. Using the Service after any updates to these terms means you accept those changes.

2. Description of Service

Hoofoot.net provides football match highlights, full match replays, live score tracking, line-ups, match statistics and related sports content. Match data is sourced from third-party sports data providers.

Our platform is a free resource for football fans, funded by advertising. Videos are either embedded from third-party platforms or played through our own video player and content delivery network. The availability of specific videos can change at any time, and we remove material when we receive a valid copyright notice (see our DMCA Policy).

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time, without prior notice. We'll do our best to keep things running smoothly, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted access, servers have bad days too.

3. User Conduct

We keep things simple: use Hoofoot the way it's meant to be used. Watch highlights. Check scores. Dig into the stats. But there are lines we expect you not to cross.

• Impersonate another person or entity, or misrepresent your affiliation
• Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
