Terms & Conditions

Last updated: February 19, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Ringer. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Ringer mobile application and website at www.findmyringer.co.uk (collectively, the "Service"), operated by Scott Bromley ("we," "us," or "our").

Ringer is a platform that connects social sports teams who need substitute players ("ringers") with players looking for games to join. By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation (e.g., a sports team or club), you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

3. Account Registration

To access the Service, you must create an account. When creating an account, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information (including your name, sport preferences, positions, and skill level)
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Keep your login credentials secure and confidential
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorised access to your account
  • Accept responsibility for all activity that occurs under your account

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if any information provided is inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete, or if you violate these Terms.

4. The Service

4.1 What Ringer Provides

Ringer is a matching and communication platform. We provide:

  • The ability to post ringer requests when your team needs a substitute player
  • The ability to browse and apply to open games near you
  • Location-based matching to find relevant games and players
  • In-app messaging between team captains and applicants
  • Push notifications for new games, application updates, and messages

4.2 Free Service

The Service is currently provided free of charge. We reserve the right to introduce paid features, subscriptions, or pricing changes in the future. If we do so, we will provide reasonable notice before any charges apply to your account.

4.3 No Guarantee of Matches

We do not guarantee that you will find a substitute player for your team or that you will be accepted to play in any game. Ringer facilitates connections between users, but the decision to accept or decline an application rests entirely with the posting team captain.

5. User Content and Conduct

5.1 Your Content

You are responsible for all content you submit through the Service, including game postings, applications, messages, and profile information ("User Content"). By submitting User Content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use, display, and store your User Content solely for the purpose of operating and providing the Service.

5.2 Acceptable Use

You agree not to use the Service to:

  • Post false, misleading, or inaccurate game details or profile information
  • Harass, abuse, threaten, or intimidate other users
  • Send spam, unsolicited messages, or promotional material through the messaging feature
  • Impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity, skill level, or playing ability
  • Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorised purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to other user accounts or our systems
  • Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from the Service
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code
  • Interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service
  • Use the Service in any manner that could damage, disable, or impair the Service

Violation of this Acceptable Use policy may result in immediate termination of your account.

5.3 Reliability and Attendance

If you are accepted to play in a game, you are expected to attend. Repeatedly failing to show up to games you have been accepted for, or posting games you do not intend to honour, may result in account suspension or termination.

6. Location Data

The Service uses location data to provide location-based matching. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of location data as described in our Privacy Policy. You may set an approximate home location and travel radius in your profile to control how games are matched to you.

You are responsible for ensuring that the location data you provide for game postings is accurate. Posting games with deliberately incorrect location data is a violation of these Terms.

7. Push Notifications

By enabling push notifications, you consent to receiving notifications about new games, application updates, and messages. You may disable push notifications at any time through your device settings. Disabling notifications may affect your experience of the Service, as you will not be alerted to new games or messages in real time.

8. Intellectual Property

All content, design, graphics, logos, trademarks, and software associated with the Service are owned by or licensed to Ringer and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

You should ensure you are physically fit to participate and have appropriate insurance cover.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Ringer, its owner, employees, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, use, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service shall not exceed £100. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, strict liability, or otherwise).

11. Indemnification

We strive to maintain the availability of the Service but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice. We shall not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Service.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

15. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., via a notice on the Service or push notification). Your continued use of the Service after the revised Terms take effect constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
