DF11 Faces – Application Policy

Policy on External Applications, Software and Technical Integrations

​

​

1. Status and Management of the DF11 Faces Project

DF11 Faces is an independent and privately managed project that has been developed and maintained since 2010.

The project includes an extensive collection of football portraits, associated data files, technical tools, software, development and other project-related resources.

​

DF11 Faces is not an open-source project.

Its internal collection, databases, technical infrastructure and project resources are not made generally available to third parties.

The management, further development, approval and official distribution of DF11 content remain under the responsibility and control of DF11.

​

DF11 may make selected content, data and technical functionality available through its own platforms and services, including the DF11 Clubs platform. Such access does not grant third parties independent rights to use, extract, reproduce or distribute DF11 resources outside the scope expressly authorised by DF11 Faces.

​

DF11Faces.com is the sole official and central distribution platform for all DF11-related content that has been compiled and approved by DF11.

​

This distribution structure is a fundamental principle of the project and applies to all external parties, including developers, application operators, creators and other collaboration partners.

​

​

2. External Applications and Technical Integrations

DF11 recognises that external applications, software and technical integrations can add value to Football Manager 27 and its community.
 

However, the use of DF11 content, protected project resources, technical facilities, databases, templates, generators or other components managed by DF11 within external applications or services is only permitted with the prior written approval of DF11.

​

Without such approval, the following activities are not permitted:

• Integrating any DF11-related content into external applications or software;

• Independently collecting, copying, importing or distributing DF11 material;

• Obtaining or using access to DF11 databases or technical infrastructure;

• Building independent databases, distribution channels or alternative collections based on DF11 material;

• Using the DF11 name, logo, visual identity or other protected elements in a way that suggests an official partnership or endorsement.

​

These provisions apply to the extent that DF11 owns the relevant rights, is authorised to manage or license them, or the applicable conditions are contractually binding.

​

​

3. Conditions for Collaboration

DF11 is open to reviewing proposals for external applications, technical integrations and other collaborative initiatives that align with the objectives of the project.

​

Any collaboration requires prior written approval and may be subject to separate conditions and agreements, including arrangements concerning:

• The nature and scope of the permitted integration;

• The use of DF11 content, technical resources and trademarks;

• Access to any APIs and databases;

• The processing and submission of newly generated DF11 content;

• The management and distribution of approved content;

• Any commercial activities and associated fees;

• The duration, terms and termination of the collaboration.

​

Any permission granted applies exclusively to the specific use agreed upon and does not grant general rights to use, exploit or distribute other DF11 resources.

​

DF11 reserves the right to reject collaboration proposals, impose additional conditions or withdraw previously granted permission in accordance with the applicable agreement.

​

​

4. Central Distribution and Control

All official DF11 content is centrally managed and made available to the Football Manager community exclusively through DF11Faces.com.

​

Approval of an external application or collaboration does not grant any independent right to host, bundle, publish, offer or distribute DF11 content through external websites, applications or platforms.

​

DF11 retains control over its official content, quality standards, publication and distribution structure, to the extent that it holds the relevant rights or authority to do so.

​

​

5. Contact and Collaboration Proposals

Developers, software creators and other interested parties who wish to discuss an application, integration or collaboration proposal with DF11 Faces are invited to make contact in advance.

​

Proposals can be submitted via:

Email: info@df11faces.com

Official platform: https://www.df11faces.com

Submitting or discussing a proposal does not constitute permission to use DF11 content, technical resources, trademarks or infrastructure. Such use is only permitted once DF11 has expressly granted prior written approval.
