Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of octa.social, a service of Octafield (Pty) Ltd. By creating an account, claiming a profile, or subscribing to a plan, you agree to them.

01The service

octa.social gives athletes a public profile page combining verified sports performance data from Octafield's media platform, content synced from their connected Instagram account, links, partner information, and — on paid plans — a live media kit, analytics, a brand inbox and campaign reports. Agents can manage profiles on behalf of athletes who authorise them.

02Eligibility & claiming

• You must be 18 or older to create an account.
• You may only claim a profile that is you, or — as an agent — an athlete who has authorised you in writing or through our consent flow. Claiming a profile you are not entitled to is grounds for immediate termination.
• You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you add and for keeping your login credentials secure.

03Verified data

Performance statistics, rankings and indexes displayed on octa.social are produced by Octafield from official competition data and public results. They remain Octafield's property and part of its public sports record. We work to keep them accurate but do not guarantee they are error-free; corrections can be requested at info@octafield.com.

04Your content

Content you upload or sync (photos, bio, links, Instagram media) remains yours. You grant Octafield a non-exclusive licence to host, display and distribute it as needed to operate the service — including on your public page and in materials you generate (media kits, reports). You confirm you have the rights to the content you provide.

05Instagram connection

Connecting Instagram is optional and governed by our Privacy Policy and Meta's terms. We access only the read-only data described there and never post on your behalf. You can disconnect at any time; features that depend on Instagram data stop working when you do.

06Plans, billing & cancellation

• Claimed (free) — claiming, verification, links, Instagram feed and directory listing are free.
• Pro — R49 per month or R490 per year. Agency — R499 per month for up to 15 athletes. Prices include VAT where applicable and may change with 30 days' notice.
• Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. Cancel any time in settings; access continues to the end of the paid period. No pro-rata refunds for partial periods, except where the law requires.

07Brands & partnerships

octa.social helps brands discover athletes and routes inquiries; any partnership, sponsorship or transaction concluded between an athlete (or their agent) and a brand is between those parties alone. Octafield is not a party to, broker of, or guarantor of any such deal, and is not responsible for either side's performance, payment or compliance. Athletes are responsible for complying with their contractual obligations (including team, union and competition rules) and applicable advertising disclosure laws.

08Acceptable use

• No impersonation, false claims of representation, or misrepresentation of statistics or reach.
• No unlawful, defamatory or infringing content.
• No scraping, reselling or misusing platform data, and no attempts to circumvent security or access other users' accounts.

09Termination

You may delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that breach these terms, misuse the service or create legal risk, and will tell you why unless the law prevents it. Sections 3, 4 (licence for already-generated materials), 7, 10 and 11 survive termination.

10Liability

The service is provided "as is". To the maximum extent permitted by South African law, Octafield's total liability arising from the service is limited to the amounts you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost deals, sponsorships or profits. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law.

11General

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. If any clause is unenforceable, the rest remain in force. We may update these terms; material changes will be notified by email and continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
