Terms of Service

Last updated: 8 March 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Tackl ("we", "our", "us"). By accessing or using tackl.co.uk (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. Tackl is a peer-to-peer marketplace for buying and selling second-hand fishing tackle in the United Kingdom.

2. Eligibility

  • You must be at least 18 years old to use Tackl.
  • You must be a UK resident to buy or sell on the Platform.
  • By creating an account, you confirm that the information you provide is accurate and complete.

3. Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must not share your login details with anyone. You are liable for all activity that occurs under your account.

4. Marketplace — Buying & Selling

Tackl facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers. When you list an item, you represent that you own the item and have the right to sell it. When you purchase an item, you agree to pay the listed price plus applicable shipping and buyer protection fees.

4a. Bankside — Catch Logging

Bankside allows you to log fishing catches including photos, species, weight, bait, rig, venue, and location data. By logging a catch, you confirm the information is accurate and the catch is genuinely yours. You are responsible for choosing the appropriate location privacy setting (Exact, Venue Only, or Hidden). Catch data may be used in aggregated form for leaderboards, Bait Intelligence analytics, and venue insights.

4b. Clubside — Clubs & Memberships

Clubside enables the creation and management of fishing clubs. Club administrators are responsible for the accurate representation of their club, its rules, and its waters. By creating a club, you agree to:

  • Provide accurate information about your club and its associated waters
  • Use club management tools (chat moderation, member management, bailiff mode) responsibly and in accordance with applicable laws
  • Ensure membership fees and day ticket prices are accurately represented
  • Not use Bailiff Mode or scan logs for any purpose other than legitimate membership verification

Club members agree to abide by their club's rules and to use club communication features (chat, direct messages) respectfully. Tackl reserves the right to remove clubs or members that violate these Terms or engage in abusive behaviour.

4c. Club Payments

Clubs that sell memberships, day tickets, or merchandise receive payments through our payment provider's connected account system. A £1.30 transaction fee applies to each merchandise item sold. Tackl is not responsible for the fulfilment of club memberships, day ticket access, or merchandise delivery — these are the responsibility of the club administrator.

4d. Business Verification

When registering as a tackle shop on the Platform, you may be required to provide your Companies House registration number. Tackl uses the Companies House API to verify that your business is a registered company in England, Wales, Scotland, or Northern Ireland. By submitting your company number, you:

  • Confirm that you are authorised to act on behalf of the registered company.
  • Consent to Tackl querying publicly available data from Companies House, including company name, registered address, incorporation date, and company status.
  • Acknowledge that this verification is used solely to confirm business legitimacy and does not constitute endorsement by Tackl or Companies House.
  • Understand that providing a false or fraudulent company number may result in immediate account suspension.

Companies House data is provided under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Tackl is an independent platform and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Companies House.

5. Payments

All payments are processed securely through our payment provider. Funds from a sale are held until the buyer confirms receipt or the 72-hour review window expires. Individual sellers remain completely free. Business sellers can sell up to 500 items a month free. After that, just 20p an item, deducted from the payout. No commission, ever. This counts units sold, not listings, resets on the 1st, and listing is always free and unlimited. Buyers pay a protection fee of 4% of the item price plus 50p per order.

6. Prohibited Items

  • Counterfeit or stolen goods
  • Items unrelated to fishing or angling
  • Hazardous materials or banned substances
  • Items that violate any applicable law or regulation

6a. Prohibited Conduct

  • Logging false or misleading catch data on Bankside
  • Creating clubs that impersonate existing organisations without authorisation
  • Using Bailiff Mode to harass, intimidate, or unlawfully detain anglers
  • Sharing club invite codes publicly in a way that undermines club access controls
  • Using club chat or direct messages to share prohibited content, spam, or contact details intended to circumvent the Platform

7. Intellectual Property

All content, branding, and materials on the Platform are owned by Tackl or its licensors. You retain ownership of content you upload (e.g. photos), but grant Tackl a licence to use it for operating the Platform.

8. Limitation of Liability

Tackl acts as a marketplace facilitator and is not a party to transactions between buyers and sellers. We are not liable for the quality, safety, or legality of items listed. Our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or abuse the Platform.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
