6. Coaches (Club Administrators)

6.1 Coach Responsibilities

If you create or co-manage a club on Konia, you ("Coach" or "Club Administrator") acknowledge and agree that:

Any club member can create posts, polls, and comments on the Feed. Authors can edit or delete their own content; coaches can moderate or delete any content within their club; Konia may additionally remove content that violates these Terms.

Coaches are expected to moderate content and behaviour within their clubs. Konia is not responsible for monitoring individual club activities but reserves the right to investigate and take action against clubs that violate these Terms.
