By subscribing to the LFC eAcademy you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms and the General Terms (defined below).

To the extent that these Terms conflict with the general Terms and Conditions of use of the Liverpool FC Website ("General Terms") the order of priority shall be: (i) these Terms; then (ii) General Terms.

We provide you with access to football skills and technique demonstration videos within the LFC eAcademy. As part of the LFC eAcademy we will provide access to certain video and audio footage, photographs, text images, statistics, logos and other media and intellectual property related to the Liverpool Football Club.

Further, we reserve the right to refuse to accept your application for any reason, including but not limited to any belief that you are not acting in accordance with these Terms.

We may change the way in which we provide access to the LFC eAcademy and will use reasonable endeavours not to make changes that materially adversely affect you during any period for which you have already paid the Fee at the relevant time, unless it is beyond our reasonable control (for example but without limitation for legal or regulatory reasons).

The LFC Content (as defined in section 6 of Part A of these Terms and Conditions), which shall include but not be limited to all content on the LFC eAcademy site and/or any other content provided as part of the LFC eAcademy is owned by or licensed to us and all rights in and to the aforementioned are reserved to us.


Your accessing and use of the LFC eAcademy


The LFC eAcademy is to be used by only one individual per username - however for the avoidance of doubt, where the participant is under eighteen (18) years of age and a parent or guardian is required to sign up and/or pay on behalf of the participant, such activity shall not cause a breach of this clause. In order to use the LFC eAcademy or access the content, you must (a) obtain access to the World Wide Web and pay any service fees associated with such access; (b) provide all equipment necessary to make such connection to the World Wide Web, including a computer and modem or other necessary access device (c) use a modern browser which supports HTML 5 video (for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox). Your use of any applicable software is subject to the terms of the licence granted to you by the licensor. We are not providing and are not responsible for any software, or for any problems caused by the software, computer hardware or computer operations systems.

Your right to use the LFC eAcademy is personal to you. You are wholly responsible for the use of the LFC eAcademy and agree that you shall not transfer, or allow access to, the LFC eAcademy via your account without the prior written consent of LFC.

  • (b) transmit any computer viruses or any other disruptive or harmful contaminants through the LFC eAcademy;

  • (d) store your password anywhere on a computer in plain text;
  • (e) use the LFC eAcademy in any manner which violates or infringes the rights of any person, firm or company (including without limitation rights of intellectual property, confidentiality or privacy);

  • (g) sell, assign, transfer or delegate all or any of your rights and obligations to another person or entity, or share use of the LFC eAcademy or any content contained within it.

For the avoidance of doubt, you are solely responsible for ensuring that you are medically able, and have the requisite skill level, to perform any or all of the exercises, skills or other physical activities demonstrated in the videos and/or other content provided as part of the LFC eAcademy, and LFC shall not be liable in any way for any injuries suffered as a result of you attempting to perform said exercises, skills or other physical activities.

The LFC eAcademy may in some regards integrate with third party services or platforms, such as Google ID, Facebook and/or Twitter. You may be permitted to access the LFC eAcademy (or other shared functionality) via your registration with such third party service. These third party services or platforms generally require you to have a separate account and/or registration with them and the terms on which they engage with you and share information or data with us will vary between service and platform. We therefore suggest you make yourself aware of their own terms and conditions before you associate your activity on the LFC eAcademy with those services or platforms.
