Terms of Service
Introduction
The Playwaze application delivered through https://playwaze.com and sub-domains and Playwaze mobile apps (“Service”) are operated by PW24 Ltd, company number 15759476, with registered office at 71-75 Shelton St, London, WC2H 9JQ (“we”, “us”, “our”)
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) set out the terms of use under which you may use the Service. Please read these Terms carefully and ensure that you understand them. If you do not agree to comply with and be bound by these Terms, you must stop using the Service.
Your use of the Service
You are required to register to the Service in order to use it.
You must be over 13 years old to register on the Service. If you are the parent or guardian of a person under 13 years old you may register that person via your own account. As a parent or guardian of a registered person on the Service you have responsibility for all content and activity associated to that person’s account.
You may create or join communities on the Service. A community represents a sports and activity provider e.g. a club, an exercise group, or a competitions programme.
When you create a community you will become an administrator of that community and will have access to community members’ personal information. Please see our Privacy Policy with particular reference to your data protection obligations when collecting custom information, publishing your content, and exporting data.
If you create a community you must have the requisite authority to manage a community for the entity your community represents. We reserve the right to remove or disable a community if it is deemed to misrepresent an organisational entity.
When you join a community you may receive communications from that community. These may be communications sent to you by the community administrator or other members e.g. news items or messages. They may also be automatically sent by the Service e.g. session or match reminders, and these can be enabled / disabled by your community administrator.
You may leave a community at any time. When you leave a community you will stop receiving communications from that community. If you were the person that initially created the community you will be assigned as “community owner”. To leave the community you will first need to hand over community ownership to someone else.
You may delete your account at any time, providing you are not the community owner of any existing communities. You will need to reassign your community ownership(s) to someone else or delete the relevant communities before deleting your account.
Subscriptions
The Service provides a free tier with subscription options that unlock additional features, reduce transaction fees, and extend capacity.
Subscriptions apply to individual communities and can be managed by administrators of the community.
Playwaze mobile apps are free to download.
Subscriptions may be purchased online through the Service. Custom pricing for multiple communities is available on request. Please contact support@playwaze.com. Published subscription prices and transaction fees are inclusive of any value added taxes that may apply in your location of purchase / transaction.
Subscriptions can be paid for through our secure online payment gateway – Stripe. You will receive a VAT receipt for each payment you make.
You may purchase monthly or annual subscriptions. Payment will be taken automatically each month or year, or until you cancel your subscription.
You will not receive a refund for unused portions of subscription periods.
You may change your subscription plan at any time. Increased plans will be billed at a pro-rata rate according to the remaining term of your current subscription. No refunds are available for reducing a subscription mid-term.
On renewal, if your payment fails we will continue attempts to take payment for 30 days. At this time, if payment still fails we will remove your subscription.
When your subscription expires you will immediately lose the benefits contained within the expired subscription.
Payments
A payments system is available through the Service. This allows you to collect and make payments directly through the Service e.g. for bookings, entries, and memberships. All payments are transacted through Stripe.
We do not hold any funds or payment card details.
If you become a Payment Receiver on the Service you will be required to create a Stripe merchant account, and agree to their Privacy and Terms policy.
Stripe payment processing fees apply. In addition to these fees we will charge a transaction fee. The rates are published on the Service. All payment processing and transaction fees are inclusive of VAT.
Where members overpay to hold funds against their account, these payments are made directly to the Payment Receiver. No such payments are made to us, except for the payment transaction fee.
We make no warranties or guarantees in respect of payment transactions. Disputes can be raised and arbitrated through Stripe.
We shall not be liable for any loss or damage as result of your use of payments within the Service.
Publishing and sharing
The Service provides opportunities for administrators to publish and share data outside of the Service e.g. embedding on websites, sharing links to social media. This data includes communities, competitions, events, and session / class schedules. You are responsible for the data you publish and you must ensure that you have permission to publish it.
If you publish and share your data outside of the Service, you should do so in full compliance with data protection legislation. See our Privacy Policy for further information.
If the data you publish and share is intentionally misleading we may terminate your account.
We make no guarantees or warranties in respect of third party websites that you publish your data to.
Security
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and profile, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the Service. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorised use of the account or any other breaches of security. We will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to comply with this.
We make no warranties or guarantees in respect of the content on the Service. If you book or pay for an item on the Service (e.g. a session, event, or membership package) you acknowledge that the item is published and sold by a third party i.e. a sports / activity provider using the Service. We therefore accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from bookings or payments you make on the Service.
