GoalieFinder Toronto - Find a Goalkeeper for Your Game

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using the GoalieFinder website at goaliefinders.com ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. GoalieFinder reserves the right to refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason.

2. Description of Service

GoalieFinder is an online marketplace that connects soccer teams ("Teams") with independent goalkeepers ("Goalkeepers") across Canada. The Service allows Teams to search for, book, and pay Goalkeepers for soccer matches. GoalieFinder facilitates the connection between parties but does not employ Goalkeepers, manage matches, or control the quality of services provided by Goalkeepers.

3. User Accounts

Goalkeepers must create an account to offer their services on the platform. Account registration requires a valid name, email address, and phone number. Goalkeepers are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for all activities conducted under their account. Teams are not required to create an account to browse and book Goalkeepers. GoalieFinder reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Booking and Payments

All payments are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. By using the Service, you agree to Stripe's Terms of Service.

When a Team submits a booking request, the total amount is pre-authorized on the Team's payment method. The total includes the Goalkeeper's hourly rate, a 10% service fee charged by GoalieFinder, and applicable provincial taxes. The charge is captured only when the Goalkeeper accepts the booking.

After match completion, the Team captain confirms the Goalkeeper's attendance. Upon confirmation, payment is released to the Goalkeeper's Stripe Connect account. If the captain does not confirm within 24 hours of the scheduled match end time, the payment is automatically released.

5. Cancellation and Refunds

If a Goalkeeper declines a booking request before acceptance, the pre-authorization is released and the Team is not charged.

After a Goalkeeper has accepted a booking, the Team captain may raise a dispute if cancellation is necessary. GoalieFinder will review the dispute and determine whether a full or partial refund is warranted based on the circumstances and timing of the cancellation.

GoalieFinder reserves the right to issue refunds at its sole discretion in cases of misconduct, no-shows, or other exceptional circumstances.

6. User Conduct

All users of GoalieFinder agree to:

Treat all other users with respect and sportsmanship. Harassment, discrimination, threats, or abusive behaviour of any kind is strictly prohibited.
Arrive at matches on time as scheduled. Repeated tardiness or no-shows may result in account penalties or termination.
Maintain accurate and truthful profile information, including experience level, availability, and location.
Not use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable local, provincial, or federal law.

7. Limitation of Liability

GoalieFinder operates as a marketplace platform that facilitates connections between Teams and Goalkeepers. GoalieFinder is not a party to any agreement between Teams and Goalkeepers and does not supervise, direct, or control the conduct of any user.

GoalieFinder is not liable for any injuries, damages, or losses that occur during or as a result of soccer matches arranged through the Service. All users participate in matches at their own risk and are responsible for their own safety, health, and insurance coverage.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GoalieFinder shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the use of the Service.

10. Modifications to Terms

11. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the Province of Ontario, Canada.
