1. About Sidecam

Sidecam is a digital sports media platform specializing in the filming, organization, display, and sale of sports video content, including footage from futsal matches, tournaments, and sporting events.

Sidecam allows players and users to discover available clips, preview content, purchase original high-quality footage, and retain purchased clips for permitted personal use.

2. License Granted Upon Purchase

When you purchase a video clip from Sidecam, you are purchasing a limited right to use that specific clip. You are not purchasing ownership of the underlying copyright or intellectual property.

View the purchased clip.
Download and retain a personal copy.
Publish the clip on personal social media accounts.
Use the clip in a personal sports profile, highlight reel, portfolio, or player presentation.

Any club, academy, company, media outlet, agency, sponsor, or other organization wishing to use Sidecam content commercially must contact Sidecam to obtain an appropriate commercial license.

4. Video Previews

Sidecam may provide preview versions of video clips before purchase.

Preview content may:

Include a watermark.
Be displayed at a reduced resolution or bitrate.
Contain other technical or visual limitations.

Preview clips are provided solely for evaluation before purchase.

Users may not remove, obscure, alter, crop out, bypass, or otherwise interfere with Sidecam watermarks or protection measures.

Preview content may not be downloaded, redistributed, published, reused, copied, or commercially exploited unless the relevant clip has been properly purchased and such use is permitted under these Terms.

5. Purchases, Access, and Downloads

After successful payment, the purchased clip will be made available through the user’s Sidecam account or through another delivery method designated by Sidecam.

For security, technical, or operational reasons, Sidecam may impose limitations on:

The validity period of download links.

Access methods.
Device or session availability.

Users are responsible for downloading and securely retaining their purchased files after delivery.

Sidecam does not guarantee indefinite availability of purchased files unless expressly stated otherwise.

Other payment methods displayed at checkout.

Sidecam does not directly store full payment card details.

Sidecam reserves the right to modify prices at any time. Any price change will not affect a purchase that has already been successfully completed.

7. Cancellations and Refunds

Sidecam video clips are digital products that may become accessible immediately following successful payment.

Accordingly, purchases are generally final once the purchased digital content has been made available to the user.

A purchase may be reviewed where:

Payment was successfully deducted but the purchased clip was not delivered.
The delivered file is corrupted or cannot be opened.
The delivered clip is materially different from the clip purchased.
A documented technical issue occurred during payment or delivery.

Refund requests will be assessed individually and may require supporting information.

Video clips are delivered based on the quality and technical specifications of the original footage available to Sidecam.

Video quality may vary due to factors including:

Venue lighting.
Distance from the action.
Camera settings.
Recording equipment.
Match conditions.
Movement and positioning.
Compression or hosting requirements.

Minor differences in brightness, color, framing, camera angle, clip length, or visual characteristics will not constitute a defect where the purchased clip reasonably corresponds with the preview or description displayed before purchase.

9. Individuals Appearing in Content

Sidecam films sporting matches, tournaments, and events where players, coaches, referees, staff members, spectators, or other individuals may appear.
