Legal
Terms & Conditions
These terms apply to everyone who uses this website or enters a team or player into the Imarika Super Cup. Coaches must give accurate information and have each player's parent/guardian agreement. Fees are paid through M-Pesa and a team is only entered once its fee is confirmed. Everyone follows the Code of Conduct. The organisers' decisions on eligibility, fixtures and results are final. Kenyan law applies.
1. About these terms
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of the Imarika Super Cup website and to the registration of any team, coach or player for an Imarika Super Cup tournament. "We", "us" and "the organisers" mean the Imarika Super Cup organising committee. "You" means anyone who uses the website or registers with us.
By creating an account, registering a team or player, or paying a fee, you agree to these Terms, to the Code of Conduct and to the tournament rules (the Charter) published for that edition. If you do not agree, please do not register.
2. Accounts
- You must be 18 or older to create an account. Players do not need accounts — their coach registers them.
- Give accurate, up-to-date details and keep your password private. You are responsible for everything done through your account.
- Coach accounts are approved by the organisers before a coach's teams and players can be approved.
- We may suspend or close an account that breaks these Terms, gives false information or puts children at risk.
3. Registering teams and players
When you register a team or player you confirm that:
- you are authorised to act for that team;
- the player's parent or legal guardian has agreed to the player taking part and to us processing the player's details as described in our Privacy Policy;
- every detail and document you upload is genuine and belongs to that player.
Every team and player is reviewed and approved by the organisers before appearing on the website. We may ask to see original documents at any time, including on match day. Falsified or borrowed documents lead to the player's disqualification and may lead to the whole team being removed from the tournament without a refund.
4. Age categories and eligibility
Each player is placed in an age category automatically from their date of birth, using the date windows published for that edition. A player may only play in the category their date of birth places them in. Where eligibility is disputed, the organisers decide after checking the documents, and their decision is final.
5. Fees and payments
- Registration fees for each edition are published before registration opens.
- Payments are made through Safaricom M-Pesa. You will receive a prompt on your phone; we never ask for your M-Pesa PIN.
- A team is only entered into a category's fixture draw once its fee has been confirmed. A part-payment is recorded as partially paid until the balance is received.
- Fees are not refundable once that edition's fixtures have been drawn, except where the organisers cancel the tournament or the category — in that case we will refund the fee or carry it over to the next edition, as you prefer.
- To ask about a payment or a refund, contact us with your payment reference (it starts with "IMK-").
6. Fixtures, results and standings
We publish fixtures, results, standings, leaderboards and the Imarika Index on this website. Fixtures may be moved because of weather, safety or other circumstances, and we will update the website as soon as we can. Standings and statistics are calculated from the results recorded by the organisers. If we find a mistake we will correct it, and the corrected result applies. The organisers' decisions on results, discipline and classification are final.
7. Code of Conduct and fair play
Players, coaches, officials, parents and spectators must follow the Code of Conduct published on this website. Coaches are responsible for the behaviour of their players and supporters. Breaches may lead to warnings, suspension, forfeited matches or removal from the tournament.
8. Safeguarding
The welfare of the children taking part comes first. Adults must never be alone with a child who is not their own in changing areas, must not contact players privately online, and must report any concern straight away to the organisers' Safeguarding & Welfare Committee through the Contact page or in person on match day. We may share safeguarding concerns with the relevant authorities where the law requires or a child is at risk.
9. Photos, video and media
Matches are photographed and filmed, and pictures and recordings may appear on this website, in our gallery and on our social media.
- A player's photo appears on their public profile and squad page only if their parent/guardian has consented. Without consent we show the player's initials instead.
- Crowd and team shots taken during matches may include spectators.
- To ask for an image to be removed, contact us with a link to it and we will act promptly.
10. Health, safety and taking part
Taking part in football carries a risk of injury. Parents/guardians and coaches must make sure each player is fit to play and tell the organisers about any medical condition we should know about. First aid is available at the venue. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for personal belongings brought to the venue.
11. Using this website
You must not:
- try to access accounts, pages or data that are not yours;
- upload anything unlawful, harmful, misleading or that infringes someone else's rights;
- copy or collect other people's personal information from the website;
- interfere with the website's security or performance.
We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of the website at any time.
12. Our name and content
The Imarika Super Cup name, logo and the content of this website belong to the organisers or our partners. You may share links to our pages, but you may not use our name or logo to suggest a connection with us without our written permission.
13. Liability
We run the tournament and this website with reasonable care. To the extent permitted by Kenyan law, we are not liable for indirect losses, or for losses caused by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot legally be limited.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when they last changed. We will tell registered coaches about important changes by email.
15. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Kenya, and the courts of Kenya have jurisdiction over any dispute that cannot be settled by discussing it with us first.
