Terms of use

Last updated 6 November 2026

These terms apply when you use OfficiateMe, which is run by the OfficiateMe service. By signing in you agree to them and to the Privacy statement.

Using the service

• You must use your own account, keep your sign-in details to yourself, and sign out on shared devices.
• Access depends on your role. You may only use the service for the purpose it is given to you, such as reviewing referees you’re responsible for, or coaching referees you coach.
• Reviews and referee information are confidential. Don’t copy, share or publish them outside the people they are meant for.
• Write reviews honestly, fairly and respectfully, and keep to what you observed. Don’t include anything unlawful, defamatory or unrelated to a person’s officiating.
• Don’t try to get into information you aren’t allowed to see, interfere with the service, or use it to harass anyone.

Your content

The reviews you write belong to you and to the region they are filed with, which uses them for referee development. You allow OfficiateMe to store them and show them to the people who are meant to see them. A region’s information can be returned to it, or deleted, when it stops using the service.

Access can be changed

A region’s administrators decide who belongs to their region and can change or remove access at any time. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms or puts the service or other people at risk.

The service

We work to keep OfficiateMe available and your information safe, but it is provided as it is, and we can’t promise it will always be available or free of errors. Keep your own copy of anything you can’t afford to lose.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, the OfficiateMe service isn’t liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from use of the service, and our total responsibility for any claim is limited to what you have paid us for the service in the previous 12 months. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under New Zealand law that can’t be excluded.

Changes and law

We may update these terms, and will change the date above when we do. They are governed by New Zealand law, and the New Zealand courts have jurisdiction.
