Terms of Use

2.1  You are responsible for all activity carried out under your account.

2.2  You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for the security of the device you use to access the Platform.

2.3  You must notify us promptly at support@2ndcourt.com if you become aware of any unauthorised use of your account.

2.4  Any impersonation, falsification, or unauthorised access may result in suspension or removal of the account.

3.1  "User Content" means anything you submit, upload, or generate on the Platform, including match results, statistics, photographs, venue information, schedules, descriptions, and messages.

3.2  You are solely responsible for your User Content and for the consequences of submitting it. You confirm that:

• your User Content is accurate and submitted in good faith,

• you hold all rights, permissions, and licences necessary to submit it,

• your User Content does not infringe the rights of any third party and does not breach any law,

• where your User Content includes personal data of another person (for example a photograph, a name, or a match result involving another player), you have that person’s consent for it to be submitted and published on the Platform.

3.3  2ndCourt does not verify and is not responsible for the accuracy, legality, or rights position of User Content.

3.4  Inviting other people. Some features let you enter another person’s email address (and sometimes name) to invite them, for example when sending a challenge, inviting a player or member, or using a mass invitation. If you do this, you confirm that you are entitled to share that person’s contact details for this purpose and that they would reasonably expect the invitation. You must not use these features to send unsolicited or bulk messages to people who would not expect them. How we handle the data of people who are not registered is described in the Privacy Policy.

3.5  We may, but are not obliged to, review, moderate, or remove User Content (see clause 8).

4.1  You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant 2ndCourt a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, and process your User Content for the purposes of operating, providing, securing, and improving the Platform.

4.2  Aggregated and anonymised data. You agree that we may create aggregated or anonymised data derived from your use of the Platform (data that does not identify you), and that we may use such data without restriction, including for analytics, product development, research, and promotion.

4.3  Identifiable individuals in promotion. Where we wish to use User Content that identifies a specific person (for example a recognisable photograph, name, or personal result) for marketing or promotional purposes, we will rely on that person’s consent obtained for that use. The licence in clause 4.1 does not by itself authorise such promotional use of identifiable individuals.

4.4  Younger players. If and when a supervised category for players under 16 is introduced, any promotional use of content identifying such a player will require verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian.

4.5  This clause is subject to the Privacy Policy, which governs how we process personal data.

5.1  The Platform, including its software, design, structure, databases, trademarks, and all associated intellectual property, is owned by 2ndCourt or its licensors and is protected by law.

5.2  This includes the global player ranking system and our proprietary competition formats, including the Pyramid and Champagne formats. These remain the intellectual property of 2ndCourt.

5.3  We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Platform for its intended personal, non-commercial purpose (or, for clubs, in accordance with their subscription terms). You obtain no ownership rights in the Platform.

5.4  You must not, and must not permit others to:

• copy, scrape, harvest, or extract data from the Platform by automated or manual means beyond normal individual use,

• reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code or underlying structure of the Platform,

• resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Platform or its data without our prior written consent,

• use the Platform or its data to build or train a competing product or service.

6.1  All match results must be submitted truthfully. By submitting a result you confirm that the match took place, that the reported result is correct, and that you have the consent of the other players involved to publish the result and any related data.

6.2  Rankings and statistics are generated from User-submitted data. 2ndCourt is not responsible for incorrect results, for disputes between players, or for ranking changes resulting from User-submitted data.

6.3  Any manipulation of results, statistics, or rankings may lead to temporary or permanent suspension of the account.

7.1  If you manage or edit a venue profile, schedule, or booking setting, you confirm that you are authorised by the venue owner or operator to do so, and that the information you enter is accurate.

7.2  Users are responsible for the accuracy of bookings, for adhering to the rules set by each venue, and for cancellations, refunds, or disputes relating to venue access.

7.3  2ndCourt does not verify the identity, ownership, or authority of venue administrators and is not responsible for the correctness of venue information. All liability arising from unauthorised edits or misuse lies with the User or Users involved.

8.1  We reserve the right (but assume no obligation) to review, moderate, restrict, or remove any User Content or account that we reasonably consider to breach these Terms, to be unlawful, or to harm other Users, the Platform, or 2ndCourt.

8.2  We may suspend or terminate an account at our reasonable discretion, in particular in cases of fraud, misuse, breach of these Terms, or legal or safety concerns.

8.3  You may stop using the Platform and close your account at any time.

You must not:

• harass, threaten, or harm other Users,

• submit false or misleading data,

• attempt to breach, disable, or bypass any security measure,

• access or attempt to access data, accounts, or venues without authorisation,

• use the Platform for any unlawful purpose.

Violation may result in suspension or termination of the account.

10.1  Certain features, including club subscriptions, are or will be provided on a paid basis.

10.2  Detailed payment and subscription terms, including pricing, billing, automatic renewal, cancellation, and refunds, together with the identity of the relevant payment processor and contracting party, will be set out in the applicable Club Subscription Terms and at the point of purchase.

11.1  We aim to keep the Platform available and functioning, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, error-free operation, or the accuracy of data.

11.2  The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available". To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we are not responsible for:

• failed or missed bookings caused by User error,

• downtime, maintenance, or technical issues,

• failures or outages of third-party services (for example hosting, email, or payment providers),

• data loss caused by hardware or software failure.

12.1  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, 2ndCourt is not liable for:

• injuries, accidents, or damage occurring during matches, events, or at physical venues,

• property damage, theft, or disputes between Users,

• financial loss caused by inaccurate information, bookings, or match results,

• unauthorised access to an account resulting from weak passwords or device misuse.

12.2  All physical activity arranged through the Platform is undertaken at your own risk. 2ndCourt does not organise, supervise, or mediate matches, and does not mediate disputes between Users, clubs, or venues.

12.3  To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Platform is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) EUR 100.

12.4  Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer protection rights and liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless 2ndCourt against any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, and reasonable costs (including legal fees) arising from your User Content, your use of the Platform, your breach of these Terms, or your infringement of the rights of any third party. This includes claims by a third party relating to content or personal data that you submitted.

14.1  We process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of your agreement with us.

14.2  By using the Platform you acknowledge the Privacy Policy. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

The Platform relies on third-party services (for example hosting, email delivery, authentication, and payment processing). We are not responsible for outages, errors, or incidents originating from third-party systems, without prejudice to our own obligations under data protection law.

16.1  We may update these Terms from time to time. Where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify Users. Continued use of the Platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16.2  We may add, change, or discontinue features of the Platform, and may change pricing for paid features with reasonable notice, in accordance with the applicable subscription terms.

17.1  These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Slovenia, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection rules of the country in which a consumer User is habitually resident.

17.2  The courts of Ljubljana, Slovenia, have jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms. This does not deprive a consumer User of any right to bring proceedings in, or to be sued only in, the courts of their country of residence where applicable law so provides.
