1.1 These General Terms and Conditions ("GTC") apply to the use of ScoutsLand online services ("Services") by entrepreneurs within the meaning of § 14 BGB, legal entities under public law, or special funds under public law (collectively "Customers").

2. Subject of Services

2.1 ScoutsLand provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for data-driven football scouting, live data, analytics, watchlists, and scouting reports.

2.2 The specific functionality is determined by the selected plan and the service descriptions on the websites. Statements in marketing materials do not constitute guarantees.

2.X AI-Powered Features

ScoutsLand optionally provides AI-powered features within the Services (e.g., summaries, ranking/validation assistance, text suggestions, analytical aids) ("AI Outputs").

AI Outputs are generated automatically and may be incomplete, inaccurate, misleading, or outdated. ScoutsLand does not warrant that AI Outputs are correct, complete, or fit for any particular purpose.

The Customer is obligated to independently review AI Outputs before any use (in particular before publication, disclosure, or decision-making) and – where appropriate – to verify them through human assessment or other sources.

3. Registration, Account, Access Data

3.1 Use of the Services may require registration. The Customer warrants that the information provided during registration and in the account is complete and accurate. Pseudonyms are not permitted in the B2B area.

5.3 The contract is formed when ScoutsLand confirms the contract by providing access or the Customer receives written confirmation.

5.4 ScoutsLand reserves the right to reject the contract without stating reasons.

6.3 In case of ordinary termination, paid fees are generally not refunded proportionally unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

The use of AI features for personal questions or topics unrelated to football data (e.g., legal, medical, tax, financial, therapeutic or other advisory matters) is prohibited.

ScoutsLand is entitled to restrict AI features, block content or terminate the contract with immediate effect in the event of violations, in accordance with these Terms.

11.3 No Liability for AI Outputs / Third-Party Content

• Where ScoutsLand provides AI-powered features: AI Outputs may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unsuitable due to the probabilistic nature of AI systems. ScoutsLand does not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or currency of AI Outputs.

11.5 Data Feeds / Third-Party Providers: Where ScoutsLand integrates data from third-party providers (e.g., data feeds), ScoutsLand is not liable for their continued availability, freedom from errors, or accuracy of content, to the extent ScoutsLand is not responsible for such circumstances.

11.6 Data Loss: Liability for data loss is limited to the typical recovery effort that would have arisen with proper data backup.

12. Confidentiality, Data Protection

B. Additional GTC – Custom Software Development (Project Work)

These additional terms apply in addition to Part A when ScoutsLand provides individually commissioned software development services to the Customer (e.g., integrations, customer-specific functions, data pipelines, tools). In case of conflict, these project terms take precedence.

§ 1 General Provisions, Contract Type

These terms apply to offers, deliveries, and services in the area of custom software development. Deviating GTC of the Customer do not become part of the contract unless expressly agreed in writing.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, development services are service contracts under §§ 611 et seq. BGB.

§ 2 Subject of Contract, Contract Formation

• Subject matter: design, development, adaptation, integration, and/or operation of custom software.
• Scope of services, milestones, deliverables, compensation, and where applicable acceptance, are specified in the offer/service description.
• A contract is only concluded upon ScoutsLand's written or text-form order confirmation.
• Offers and attachments are confidential and may not be disclosed to third parties without permission.

§ 3 Customer's Cooperation Obligations

The Customer provides all necessary information, access, content (texts, logos, data, API keys) in a timely manner.

Approvals: When ScoutsLand delivers drafts/concepts/release versions, the Customer must approve them in writing within 5 business days or specify concrete deficiencies/corrections. If no feedback is provided, the service is deemed approved.

The Customer reports errors immediately in writing with sufficient description (time, reproducibility, logs).

§ 4 Deadlines, Service Obstacles

Binding deadlines require explicit agreement in writing.

Delays due to force majeure, third-party outages, lack of cooperation, or unforeseen technical dependencies result in a reasonable extension of deadlines.

§ 5 Delivery / Acceptance (for work contracts only)

When work services are agreed, ScoutsLand delivers the final version in the agreed format.

The Customer reviews within 10 business days and accepts in writing or reports significant defects.

§ 6 Usage Rights

• ScoutsLand grants the Customer the agreed usage rights to the work results created in the project.
• Usage rights only arise upon full payment (§ 158 paragraph 1 BGB).
• ScoutsLand may continue to freely use general know-how, concepts, reusable components, and its own libraries.
• ScoutsLand may cite the project as a reference unless the Customer objects for justified reasons.

§ 7 Compensation, Additional Work

Compensation is determined as a flat rate or based on time spent (hourly rate). Time-based billing is done in 15-minute increments.

For flat rates, ScoutsLand may request a reasonable advance payment. Payment due: 14 days from invoice date.

Additional work is chargeable, particularly in the following cases:

• Change requests after approval,
• Lack of customer cooperation,
• Scope expansions.
