Terms and Conditions

Our contract

These terms and conditions regulate the business relationship between you and us. By buying The Rugby Agents advertising or using our website, you agree to be bound by them.

We offer the Service in all countries but cannot guarantee success as the communication will be between the player and the club. That communication is between two parties and therefore not any third parties, including The Rugby Agents. The player once signed to a profile can contact as many clubs as he/she desires.

We are not registered agents and so we don’t behave as an agent would with regards to negotiations. We simply but the player in touch with the club and allow the two parties to establish an agreement.

Our Premium service where clubs pay a fee on the successful signing of a player is exactly the same. We however take away the searching element for clubs through the website and match players to clubs dependant on their rugby CV and footage. Again we do not negotiate the package for the player, we merely match their requirements with a relevant club. We cannot take responsibility for that player once they have signed, it is vital that both players and clubs do their research to ensure the deal is right for them. This will require checking references, calling representatives etc to ensure all information is as accurate as possible (most of the negotiations/communications are done online).

In entering into this contract you have not relied on any representation or information from any source except the definition and explanation of the services given on our website.

Subject to these terms and conditions, we agree to provide to you some or all of the services described on our website at the prices we charge from time to time.

Our contract with you and licence to you last for one year from the date of start. Any continuation by us or by you after the expiry of one year is a new contract under the terms then posted on our website. Your continued use of our services after that shall be deemed acceptance by you of the changed service, system and/or terms.

The contract between us comes into existence when you register, create a profile or we receive payment from you for an advertising.

If we give you free access to a service or feature on our website which is normally a charged feature, and that service or feature is usually subject to additional contractual terms, you now agree that you will abide by those terms.

We may change this agreement in any way at any time. The version applicable to your contract is the version which was posted on our website at the time that the contract was made.
