Terms of Use & Disclaimer

StartScout is a Dutch service for finding and monitoring legitimate routes to participate in sporting events. Company and contact details are shown below.

StartScout monitors public and accessible information about sporting events and looks for legitimate routes where regular registration is restricted, closed or sold out.

StartScout does not itself sell, reserve or broker race entries unless explicitly stated otherwise. We direct users to external sources where an opportunity may be available.

Opportunities can change or disappear quickly. StartScout cannot guarantee that an entry, registration code, package or other opportunity is still available when you receive an alert or visit an external source.

Information from the organiser or another official or authorised source always takes precedence. You are responsible for checking current terms, prices, availability, deadlines and eligibility before registering or purchasing.

StartScout cannot guarantee that every possible route will be discovered or that alerts will always be delivered without delay or technical interruption.

StartScout is not responsible for the content, availability, prices, terms or services of external websites or organisations. A link does not necessarily imply a commercial relationship.

StartScout may use AI to analyse public event information and prepare draft text. Relevant opportunities are checked within the current workflow before customer alerts are sent. AI output does not replace the official source.

Features, availability and pricing may change as StartScout develops. Any applicable price and service conditions are shown before purchase.

Consumers buying a paid StartScout service online generally have a statutory 14-day withdrawal period. Before a paid Race Watch starts, StartScout asks for your express request to begin the service immediately and your acknowledgement of the consequences for withdrawal. If you withdraw after the service has started, StartScout may retain only a proportionate amount for services already provided where the law allows this. If no service has been provided, a valid withdrawal is refunded in full. If the service is fully performed within the withdrawal period after your express request and acknowledgement, the right of withdrawal may end. Use the online withdrawal function or the statutory model withdrawal form. Any refund due is made within the statutory period, using the original payment method where reasonably possible.

StartScout may not be used for fraud, deception, unauthorised resale, circumventing organiser rules or other unlawful activities. Misuse may lead to blocked access.

We aim to provide a reliable service but cannot guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability. Maintenance, outages and changes at external sources can affect the service.

StartScout is not liable solely because an external opportunity becomes unavailable, an external party changes its terms or external information proves inaccurate or outdated. To the extent permitted by law, liability is limited to direct loss demonstrably resulting from a failure attributable to StartScout. Mandatory rights remain unaffected.

The StartScout name, website, original text, design and software may not be copied or commercially exploited without permission, except where permitted by law. Third-party rights remain with their owners.

Our processing of personal data is described in our Privacy Notice.

These terms may be updated as StartScout develops. The latest version is published on this page.

These terms are governed by Dutch law where legally permitted. Mandatory consumer rights remain unaffected.
