Athlete Guardian

Any athlete who is a minor i.e., incompetent to contract by the age defined by the legal laws of the country or region of which the user / member is a citizen, must have an athlete guardian (who can either be the legal parent or any other person with the consent of the legal parents of the minor) registered with the Website / Apps who can manage his/her account and disclose his/her information on the Website / Apps. In the course of the initial registration process, we may ask for person’s (who is incompetent to contract) personal information including but not limited to date of birth, and email address of his /her guardian and legal parents. Sportsmatik permits the guardians to manage their dependents (minors) accounts.

  • If you are a legal parent and wish to sign up for an account for your child, then you may create an account on the Website / Apps as a guardian to manage your child’s account and then add the details of the child who may be a major or a minor (according to the judicial law of his/her country or region). A digital/physical consent form must be filled by the person who wants to become a guardian in case he/she is not the legal parent of that person.
  • People, who are incompetent to contract with the Company by any means, cannot hold an independent account. In case of being a minor, person must have a guardian registered with Us to manage their account according to the set criterion of the Website / Apps along with the consent of their legal parents.
  • A guardian should be a major i.e., competent to contract and must hold the citizenship of a country. He/she has to fill the consent form (if he/she is not the legal parent of the person) and should be permitted by the legal parents in case of the minor and the consent of the person in case of being major to act as a proxy to manage his/her account.
  • Being a guardian, you agree and acknowledge that you manage the account of minor or major and to use the Website / Apps, its Services and all the features made available on the Website / Apps on his/her behalf as fully contemplated with us.

We understand the importance of taking extra precautions to protect the privacy and safety of children using Our Services. A person who is a minor is not permitted to create their own sportsmatik account unless his/her parent provides verifiable consent as part of the guardian account.

Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password.

Third-Party Applications

We endeavour to make the Content (all types of content and media files) of the Website / Apps as available as possible for educational and career purposes and in order to encourage this step, we make an Application Programming Interface (“API”) available to third-party application developers and service providers (“App Developers”) to create additional services (such as mobile applications and other services) for our Users / Members.
