Terms of use

Draft for review by a solicitor before launch.

GoProBoxing (goproboxing.com) is run by Searlco Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (“we”, “us”). These terms apply to everyone who uses the site: fighters, clubs, promoters, sponsors and fans.

1. What GoProBoxing does

We list sponsorship spots offered by professional boxers, boxing clubs and promoters (“sellers”), take payment from sponsors and fans, and pass the seller’s share on to them through Stripe. The sponsorship agreement is between the sponsor and the seller. We are not a party to how the logo is printed, displayed or used, beyond what these terms say.

2. Who can sell

Fighter profiles are only for licensed professional boxers with a BoxRec record. We check records and licences and may refuse or remove any profile.
Clubs must be genuine boxing clubs, run by the person who signs up. Promoters must hold a promoter’s licence or be a registered business.
Sellers must keep their details accurate, including fight dates and records.

3. Our fee

Listing is free. We keep 15% of every payment made through the site, including VAT. Card fees are paid from our share. A manager’s cut comes out of the seller’s share. There is no fee on tickets.

4. How sponsorship works

A sponsor chooses a spot and pays by card. For one-off sponsorships the card is authorised but not charged until the seller approves. For 12-month sponsorships the card is saved and the first monthly payment is taken when the seller approves.
Sellers have 72 hours to approve. If they don’t, or they decline, nothing is charged.
Sellers may decline any sponsor for any reason, including that their licensing body doesn’t allow that kind of brand.
For fight sponsorships, logos must be in by 21 days before the fight.
12-month sponsorships run for 12 monthly payments at the one-off price plus 35%.

5. Cancelling

Every sponsor may cancel within 14 days of their first payment for a full refund. If the sponsor asked for work to start within that time (for example printing a logo for a fight inside the 14 days), the refund may be reduced by the cost of work already done.
After that, a 12-month sponsorship can be cancelled with 30 days’ notice. Payments already made are not refunded.
One-off sponsorships cannot be cancelled after the 14 days, except as in section 6.
A personalised shout-out video cannot be cancelled once it has been recorded.

6. If a fight or show moves or is cancelled

If a fight moves, one-fight sponsorships move with it and the sponsor may ask for a full refund within 7 days of being told. If a fight or show is cancelled with no new date, sponsors are refunded in full.

7. Payouts to sellers

Sellers must connect a Stripe account to be paid, and accept Stripe’s terms. We pay the seller’s share once a payment has cleared and the 14-day cancellation period has passed; later monthly payments are paid as they clear. If a payment is refunded or reversed by the sponsor’s bank after it has been paid out, we may take it back from the seller’s Stripe balance or future earnings.

8. Logos and content

Sponsors confirm they own or may use the logo they upload, and that their business is lawful.
Adult businesses may not sponsor. Betting and alcohol brands may sponsor fighters and promoters, who decide whether to accept; they may not sponsor clubs with junior members.
We may remove any logo, request or profile that is offensive, misleading or unlawful.
Sellers give us permission to show their name, photos and record on the site to promote them.

9. Shout-outs

Fans must be 18 or over. Fighters may refuse any request, which is then refunded. If a video isn’t delivered on time, the fan is refunded automatically.

10. Tax

Sellers are responsible for their own tax. As an online platform we are required to collect sellers’ details and report their earnings to HMRC (and other tax authorities where the law says so).

11. Our responsibility

We do our best to keep the site running and payments accurate. We are not responsible for a seller’s or sponsor’s own obligations to each other, or for losses that weren’t foreseeable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t legally be limited.

12. Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales. Contact us at hello@goproboxing.com.
