Version 3.0 — 23 October 2026
Version 3.0 — 23 October 2026 (in force from 6 November 2026; Article 4ter is new)
Project First League is the trade name of Sebastiano Bartoli, registered with the Belgian Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO) under number 1017.790.019, with registered office at Vrijheidstraat 9, 2070 Burcht (Zwijndrecht), Belgium. Contact: info@projectfirstleague.com
In these Terms & Conditions, the following definitions apply:
2.1. These Terms & Conditions apply to all use of the App, the creation of an account, the booking of and participation in Sessions, and all other services offered through Project First League.
2.2. By creating an account or using the App, the User accepts these Terms & Conditions unconditionally and in full.
2.3. The Operator reserves the right to amend these Terms & Conditions at any time. Changes will be announced in the App and published on the Website with a new version number; they take effect 14 days after publication. Continued use of the App after that date constitutes acceptance of the amended Terms & Conditions.
3.1. To use the App, the User must create an account by completing the registration process. Registration is possible with an email address and password, or via a Google or Apple account.
3.2. During registration and onboarding, the User is required to:
A profile photo is optional: the User may add one so that teammates recognise them, or keep the default placeholder and add a photo later via the Profile settings.
3.3. Without a completed profile (including date of birth and region), the App cannot be fully used. The User's email address must be verified before a Session can be booked.
3.4. The minimum age for using Project First League is 16 years. By creating an account, the User confirms that they have reached the age of 16. Users under the age of 18 additionally confirm that they have the permission of a parent or legal guardian to create an account, to accept these Terms & Conditions and to make payments through the App.
3.5. The account is strictly personal and non-transferable. The User is responsible for keeping their login credentials confidential.
3.6. The Operator may suspend or block accounts upon suspicion of fraud, abuse, or violation of these Terms & Conditions, without prior notice and without entitlement to compensation. A blocked account cannot book any Sessions until the block is lifted by the Operator. A blocked User can contact the Operator through the App ("Get in touch") to request a review.
3.7. Profile statistics (MVP, Total Played, XP, Strikes, Coins) are automatically maintained by the App and cannot be manually adjusted by the User.
3.8. Preferred position. A User may indicate a preferred position (goalkeeper, defence, midfield, attack) or no preference. This is optional, can be changed at any time in the profile, and is shown to the other participants of a Session in the line-up. It is an indication only: the Operator, the Host and the Ball Captains remain free to arrange the teams.
4.1. Sessions are organised by the Operator or, in the case of a Host Session, posted by a Host under Article 4bis. Sessions are visible in the App based on the Region set by the User. Where a Session has a Host, this is stated in the Session details together with that Host's Host Rating.
4.2. Participation in a paid Session is arranged by booking through the App and payment of the participation fee — by card (processed via Stripe) or, for Sessions organised by the Operator itself, with one Coin — unless the User participates as Ball Captain. Sessions hosted by partner venues and Host Sessions can only be paid by card. The Operator may also offer free Sessions, which can be joined without payment.
4.3. A booking is final upon successful payment (or Coin redemption). The User will receive a confirmation in the App. If a Session reaches full capacity while the User's card payment is still being processed, no booking takes place and the User receives one Coin as compensation; no double bookings occur.
4.4. When booking, the User selects a team: Team Black or Team Colour. The team choice is binding, except in cases of force majeure.
4.5. Cancellation by the User:
4.5bis. Bookings made with a Venue Pass follow the same cancellation windows and the same Strike rule as paid bookings, but are settled in Credits instead of money. See Article 6bis.
4.5ter. When a refund is complete. The deduction in Article 4.5 applies only where the User cancels. Where the Operator cancels a Session (Article 4.7), or a Host cancels his own Session (Article 4bis.8bis), or the Operator removes a Host Session (Article 4bis.3bis), the Player is refunded in full, payment costs included: in those cases the Player did nothing to cause it.
4.6. Strikes: upon receiving a third Strike, the User's account is automatically blocked. A Strike expires 12 months after it was recorded. A blocked User cannot book Sessions until the Operator lifts the block (see Article 3.6).
4.7. Cancellation by the Operator: the Operator reserves the right to cancel, reschedule or modify Sessions (e.g. due to insufficient participants, weather conditions or unavailability of the venue). A Session may have a minimum number of participants; where it does, that minimum is shown in the Session details, together with a Confirmation Time: the single moment at which it is determined whether the Session goes ahead. A Session for which no minimum is shown is never cancelled automatically for lack of participants and goes ahead however few Players have booked. The Confirmation Time is 2 hours before kick-off, unless a different Confirmation Time applies to that Session; where an earlier Confirmation Time applies, it is stated in the Session details in the App. An earlier Confirmation Time may apply where the venue requires the Operator to release the pitch further in advance.
Where a Session has a minimum, then at the Confirmation Time:
A confirmed Session may still be cancelled by the Operator on other grounds, such as weather conditions or unavailability of the venue. In the event of cancellation by the Operator (manual or automatic), Players are refunded according to their payment method: Coin payments are refunded in Coins instantly; card payments are refunded to the card via Stripe (typically within 10 days). Ball Captains participated free of charge and therefore receive no refund. Cancelled Sessions remain visible in the App as cancelled.
4.8. The Operator shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the cancellation or modification of a Session beyond the refunds described in Article 4.7.
4.9. Waitlist: when a Session is fully booked, Users may join the waitlist. Users on the waitlist are notified when a spot becomes available (provided notifications are enabled). A spot on the waitlist does not constitute a booking and does not guarantee participation.
4.10. Notifications: the App sends notifications directly related to your Sessions (such as reminders, session updates and cancellations, waitlist alerts, Ball Captain changes and MVP voting). If the User marks a Venue as a favourite, the App also notifies them when a new Session is posted at that Venue. Notifications can be switched on and off per category. The App may also send occasional promotional notifications (for example a reminder that a Session still needs players, or an invitation to book again). You can disable promotional notifications separately — and all push notifications entirely — at any time via Settings → Notifications in the App, or through your device settings. See the Privacy Policy for further details.
4bis.1. What a Host Session is. A Host Session is a Session for which a User — the Host — has booked and paid for a pitch directly with the Venue, and which that Host posts in the App in order to fill the remaining places. The Operator does not organise the Session, does not rent the pitch and is not a party to the booking or to the payment between the Host and the Venue. The Operator provides the Platform on which the Host finds Players and through which the Players pay their share.
4bis.2. Who may host. Any User with a complete and verified profile whose account is not blocked may post a Host Session.
4bis.3. No prior approval — published immediately. Any User may post a Host Session, and it becomes visible to other Users immediately. The Operator does not check a Host Session before publication and does not verify that the underlying booking exists. The Host may attach the booking confirmation received from the Venue, but is not obliged to do so; where a Host Session is disputed, the Operator will take that confirmation into account.
4bis.3bis. Removal. The Operator may remove a Host Session at any time and without prior notice, in particular where it appears that the underlying booking does not exist, where the details are incorrect, or where the Session breaches these Terms & Conditions. Players who had already booked are refunded in accordance with Article 4.7. A Host who posts a Session for which no booking exists commits a serious breach within the meaning of Article 8.3 and may be blocked.
4bis.3ter. What this means for you as a Player. Because a Host Session is not checked in advance, a booking with a Host is made on trust between Players. The Host Rating under Article 7bis exists precisely for this purpose: it shows how earlier participants judged that Host. The Operator does not guarantee that a Host Session will actually take place, beyond the refund arrangements in Article 4.7.
4bis.3quater. When a Host Session may take place. On a weekday (Monday to Friday) a Host Session may only start between 18:00 and 03:00. Sessions during the day cannot be posted: hardly anyone can attend, and an empty pitch costs the Host money. At the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) there is no such restriction. Times are Belgian local time.
4bis.4. Price per Player. What a Player pays for a Host Session is made up of three parts, each shown separately in the App before the Session is posted:
Every Player pays the same pitch share, the Host included: the Host's own place is already covered by the pitch he has paid for, and he is therefore entered in his own Session without a further payment. The Host does not set the price and makes no margin on a Host Session: he receives the pitch share of the other Players and nothing more. The service fee is not deducted from his share.
The Operator may change the service fee. The amount shown when a Session is posted applies to that Session.
4bis.5. Payment and settlement. Players pay through the App by card. Coins and Venue Pass Credits cannot be used for a Host Session.
24 hours after kick-off, the amount due to the Host is determined: the pitch share of every Player who paid and was not refunded — six such bookings means six shares. It is transferred to the Host's bank account, normally within seven days of the Session; the Operator asks for the account number once there is an amount waiting. There is no balance held within the App.
This means:
The service fee (Article 4bis.4) is not deducted from this amount.
Capped at the pitch. The Host is paid for at most the number of places on the pitch minus his own. A place can be paid for twice — a Player cancels two hours before kick-off without a refund and another Player takes that place — and the Host is then still paid for one place. Were it otherwise, he would recover his own share as well and make a profit on a Session on which he is not supposed to earn anything. What was paid above the number of places accrues to the Operator.
4bis.5bis. The Host checks in himself. The Host is paid only where he personally checked in at the Venue. That check-in is made on the spot using the device's location and is the evidence that he was actually there. The check-ins of the other Players do not replace it: they show that football was played, not that the Host did his part.
Where the Host did not check in, payment is suspended and the Operator examines the Session. The Operator then either pays the Host after all — a forgotten check-in is not the same as an absent Host — or cancels the Session and refunds the Players (Article 4bis.3bis). A Host who does not turn up to his own Session is not paid.
Because a check-in requires location access, the App does not allow a Session to be posted while location is switched off.
4bis.6. The ball. The Host always brings a suitable football to the Session. There are no Ball Captain places in a Host Session, and no Player participates free of charge in exchange for a ball. Failing to bring a ball disrupts the Session for every other participant and is treated as a serious breach within the meaning of Article 8.3.
4bis.7. Obligations of the Host. The Host warrants that the details posted are correct and that the underlying booking with the Venue actually exists for the Venue, pitch, date and time stated. That warranty is what replaces a check by the Operator (Article 4bis.3). If that booking lapses or changes, the Host must inform the Operator without delay so that the Session can be cancelled or amended.
4bis.8. Cancellation of a Host Session. Article 4.7 applies to a Host Session as it does to any other Session. A Host Session has no minimum number of participants unless one is shown in the Session details: the Host has already paid for the pitch, so a Session that cancels itself for lack of Players helps nobody. If a Host Session does not go ahead, the Players are refunded. The Host bears the cost of his own booking with the Venue; the Operator does not reimburse that cost and is not liable for it, whatever the reason the Session did not go ahead.
4bis.8bis. Cancellation by the Host. A Host may cancel his own Host Session in the App at any time before kick-off. Up to 24 hours before kick-off this is free of consequence. Cancelling within those last 24 hours is still possible, but one Strike is recorded against the Host's account, in the same way as for a Player who cancels late (Article 4.5) — and as there, a third Strike blocks the account (Article 4.6).
Cancelling late is not made impossible on purpose: a Host whose booking falls through must be able to cancel, so that no Player travels to a pitch that is not there. The Strike is the price of the short notice, not a punishment for being honest.
Whenever a Host cancels, every Player who paid is refunded in full and automatically, to the card they paid with. The Host receives nothing back: he paid the Venue, not the Operator, and that cost remains his (Article 4bis.8).
4bis.9. Cancellation by a Player. Article 4.5 applies to a Host Session without modification, including the Strike for cancelling within 12 hours and for a no-show.
4bis.10. Liability. The Operator does not operate the Venue in a Host Session and is not responsible for the availability, condition or accessibility of the pitch booked by the Host, nor for the conduct of the Host. Article 12 applies in full. Disputes between a Host and a Venue are a matter between those parties.
4ter.1. Friends. A User becomes Friends with another User by sending a friend request in the App that the other User accepts. A request that is declined or withdrawn has no consequences. Either User may end a friendship at any time by removing the other as a Friend, after which neither can book for the other. Bookings already made are not affected.
4ter.2. Booking for a Friend. A User may, when booking a paid Session, also reserve places for one or more Friends and pay for all those places in a single payment. There is no limit on the number of places. The option is not available for free Sessions, for Ball Captain places (Article 7) or when paying with a Venue Pass or Coins. A Friend who is already in the Session cannot be booked again.
4ter.2bis. Price of a group booking. The first place is charged at the Session price. Because a single payment incurs the fixed part of the payment costs only once, each further place in the same payment is €0.25 cheaper than the Session price. The total is shown in the App before payment.
4ter.3. The place belongs to the Friend. Each place reserved under this Article is a normal booking in the name of the Friend, with all rights and obligations of a Player under Article 4: the Friend appears on the team list, checks in himself, may vote and be voted for under Article 11, and is personally subject to Article 4.5 (late cancellation and no-show) and Article 4.6 (Strikes). A Strike for a no-show or a late cancellation is recorded against the Friend who held the place, not against the User who paid.
4ter.4. Releasing a place. A Friend who cannot attend releases the place himself in the App. Until the deadline in Article 4.5 this is free of consequence; after that deadline Article 4.5 applies to him in full. The User who paid cannot cancel a Friend's place, and a Friend cannot cancel the place of the User who paid or of any other Friend.
4ter.5. Refunds. Any refund in respect of a place reserved under this Article — whether the Friend releases it in time, the Operator or a Host cancels the Session (Articles 4.7, 4bis.3bis and 4bis.8bis), or a place could not be allocated because the Session filled up while the payment was being processed — is made to the payment method used by the User who paid, for the amount paid for that place, under the rules of Article 4.5 and 4.5ter and the cancellation rules of the Venue concerned. Where Article 4.5 provides for the deduction of payment costs, the deduction for a place after the first is limited to the variable part of those costs, since the fixed part was charged only once (Article 4ter.2bis). The Operator does not transfer money between Users. Where a Venue's rules provide no refund, this applies to every place paid for in that booking.
4ter.6. Notification. The Friend is informed in the App that a place has been booked for him. By accepting to be Friends, Users accept that a Friend may book them into a Session in this way; releasing the place under Article 4ter.4 is the remedy for a booking the Friend did not want.
4ter.6bis. What Friends see of each other. Friends are shown to each other in the App, and when a User joins a Session his Friends may be notified and may see that he is taking part. Friend requests, bookings made for you and Sessions joined by Friends are also collected in an in-app notification list, which the User can clear at any time. Removing a Friend (Article 4ter.1) ends this for both Users. Push notifications for these messages follow the notification settings of Article 11 of the Privacy Policy.
4ter.7. Searching for players. Users can be found by other Users by searching their full name or first name in the App. A User who does not wish to be found this way may switch this off in the settings; Users with whom he has already played remain able to find him.
5.1. Sessions offered through the App constitute leisure services provided at a specific date and time within the meaning of Article VI.53, 12° of the Belgian Code of Economic Law (WER).
5.2. By booking a Session, the User acknowledges that the right of withdrawal under Article VI.47 WER does not apply to the booking, as the Session is a leisure service with a specific date of provision.
5.3. The Venue Pass is different. A Venue Pass is a subscription and not a leisure service provided on a specific date. The statutory right of withdrawal of 14 calendar days therefore does apply to the purchase of a Venue Pass. The User may withdraw within 14 days of purchase by contacting info@projectfirstleague.com, without giving a reason.
5.4. A User who wishes to use their Venue Pass immediately expressly requests the Operator to begin performance before the withdrawal period has expired. If the User then withdraws, the Operator charges a proportionate amount for the Credits already used, calculated as the number of Credits used multiplied by the price of the Venue Pass divided by the total number of Credits in that Billing Period. The remainder is refunded.
5.5. The right of withdrawal lapses once all Credits of the first Billing Period have been used.
6.1. The participation fee per Session is determined by the Operator and displayed in the App for the relevant Session.
6.2. Prices may vary per Session, per venue (pitch), per city and per Region. The price displayed at the time of booking is binding.
6.3. Card payments are processed through the payment provider integrated in the App (Stripe). The User agrees to the terms and conditions of this payment provider.
6.4. Prices are final. The Operator is exempt from VAT under the Belgian small business exemption scheme (Art. 56bis Belgian VAT Code). No VAT is charged.
6.5. The Operator reserves the right to change prices at any time. Price changes do not apply to already confirmed bookings.
6.6. The Operator is not responsible for disruptions, delays or errors at the payment provider.
6.7. Chargebacks. If the User initiates an unjustified chargeback or payment reversal through their bank or card issuer for a Session they booked, the Operator may suspend the account until the matter is resolved and may recover the disputed amount and any reasonable administrative costs from the User. Payment disputes should first be reported to info@projectfirstleague.com.
6.8. Coins are session credits, not a currency. One Coin gives access to one Session organised by the Operator itself, regardless of that Session's price; Coins cannot be used for Sessions hosted by partner venues. Coins are obtained as refunds (timely cancellation by the User, cancellation by the Operator, or compensation under Article 4.3), or may be granted by the Operator at its own discretion (e.g. as goodwill); they cannot be purchased separately, transferred to another User, or exchanged for cash. Coins lapse without compensation when the account is deleted or terminated, and expire after twelve (12) consecutive months during which the User has not signed in to the App. Expiry is applied automatically; any sign-in resets the twelve-month period for the Coins the User holds at that time. Because Coins have no monetary value, expiry does not give rise to any refund or compensation.
6bis.1. What it is. A Venue Pass is a paid monthly subscription for one specific Venue. It gives the User a fixed number of Credits per Billing Period, with which the User books Sessions at that Venue without paying per Session.
6bis.2. Price and content. The price and the number of Credits are set per Venue and are shown in the App before purchase. The Operator may offer more than one plan per Venue. The price and number of Credits displayed at the time of purchase are binding for the Billing Period concerned.
6bis.3. More than one Venue Pass. A User may hold a Venue Pass for several Venues at the same time. Each Venue Pass has its own Credits, which can only be used at the Venue that Venue Pass applies to. A User cannot hold more than one active Venue Pass for the same Venue.
6bis.4. Payment. A Venue Pass is paid by card, including cards held in Apple Pay or Google Pay. Payment methods that cannot be charged on a recurring basis — such as Bancontact — are not available for a Venue Pass, but remain available for individual Session bookings.
6bis.5. Automatic renewal. A Venue Pass renews automatically for one month at a time, on the same day of the month as the day of purchase, until the User cancels. The card provided is charged on each renewal. On renewal, the Credits are reset to the number included in the plan.
6bis.6. Using a Credit. One Credit entitles the User to one booking of one regular Session at the Venue concerned. A Credit may also be used for a Session that takes place after the end of the current Billing Period: a fixed number of Credits is a fixed number of Sessions, regardless of when the User chooses to use them.
6bis.7. Expiry. Unused Credits lapse at the end of the Billing Period, subject to Article 6bis.8. Credits have no monetary value, are not transferable, and are never paid out in money or Coins.
6bis.8. Carry-over. If the Venue offered fewer Sessions during a Billing Period than the number of Credits included, the unused Credits carry over to the following Billing Period, up to a maximum of one Billing Period. This rule is based on the number of Sessions offered, not on the number of Sessions in which a place was still available.
6bis.9. Availability. Booking with a Venue Pass is subject to availability. A Venue Pass does not guarantee a place in any Session, and does not give priority over other Users.
6bis.10. Cancelling a booking. Cancellation more than 12 hours before the Session starts returns the Credit. Cancellation within 12 hours before the Session starts, or a no-show, means the Credit is used and one Strike is recorded, in accordance with Article 4.5. No money and no Coins are refunded in either case.
6bis.11. Cancellation by the Operator or the Venue. If a Session is cancelled — manually or automatically because the minimum number of participants was not reached — the Credit is returned. Holders of a Venue Pass never receive money or Coins for a cancelled Session. If the Venue Pass has already ended by the time the Credit is returned, the Credit lapses; the User may contact info@projectfirstleague.com.
6bis.12. Cancelling the Venue Pass. The User may cancel at any time through the App. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current Billing Period. Billing Periods already paid for are not refunded, except under Articles 5.3 to 5.5 and 6bis.15. Remaining Credits stay usable until the end of that period; carried-over Credits lapse.
6bis.13. Failed payment. If a renewal payment fails, the Venue Pass becomes inactive. The User has a grace period of 7 days: Sessions already booked remain valid, but no new bookings can be made with the Venue Pass. If payment is still not received after that period, the Venue Pass ends.
6bis.14. Blocked account. If the User's account is blocked (Article 4.6, three Strikes), the Venue Pass is paused and not charged for as long as the block lasts, and resumes automatically once the block is lifted.
6bis.15. Price changes and ending a partnership. A change in the price or the number of Credits is communicated at least 30 days in advance and gives the User the right to cancel free of charge with effect from the date the change takes effect. If the Operator ends its cooperation with a Venue, active Venue Passes for that Venue are cancelled and the unused part of the current Billing Period is refunded pro rata.
6bis.16. Relationship to Coins and free places. Coins cannot be used at partner Venues (Article 6.8) and are entirely separate from the Venue Pass. Free Sessions and Ball Captain places do not consume a Credit.
6bis.17. VAT. Article 6.4 applies to the Venue Pass as well: the Operator is exempt from VAT under the Belgian small business exemption scheme and charges no VAT.
6bis.18. Withdrawal of the Venue Pass. As of 26 September 2026 the Venue Pass is no longer offered. New Venue Passes can no longer be purchased, and the subscriptions that existed on that date have been terminated: no further Billing Period is charged. Credits that were still unused lapse without compensation, as Credits have no monetary value (Article 1). Where a User had paid for a Billing Period that was still running on that date, the Operator refunds the unused part pro rata on request via info@projectfirstleague.com. The remainder of this Article 6bis continues to apply to Billing Periods that fell before that date.
7.1. A maximum of one Ball Captain position is available per team per Session. To act as Ball Captain, a User must have participated in at least one previous Session.
7.2. The Ball Captain participates free of charge in the Session in exchange for bringing a suitable football to the Session. The Ball Captain has no role in the Check-in: every Player, including the Ball Captain, checks in personally as described in Article 1.
7.3. (Reserved — the former attendance obligation for Ball Captains was removed in version 2.4; Check-in is personal for every Player.)
7.4. A Ball Captain who cancels their participation within 12 hours before the start of the Session also permanently loses the Ball Captain privilege, in addition to the Strike recorded under Article 4.5.
7.5. In the event of repeated or serious breaches of the Ball Captain obligations (including failing to bring a football), the Operator may additionally apply the sanctions of Article 8.3, up to and including blocking the account. Non-compliance by the Ball Captain directly disrupts the Session for all other participants and is therefore treated as a serious breach.
7.6. Ball Captains participate free of charge and therefore never receive a refund of any kind in the event of cancellation (by themselves or by the Operator).
7bis.1. Giving a rating. After a Host Session, every Player who took part in it may give the Host a rating of one to five stars, with an optional written comment. Giving a rating is voluntary; the request can be skipped.
7bis.2. One rating per Session. A Player may give one rating per Host Session. A rating cannot be amended or withdrawn afterwards. A Host cannot rate himself, and a Player who did not take part in the Session cannot rate it.
7bis.3. Period. A rating can be given from two hours after kick-off until fourteen days after the start of the Session. After that period the Session can no longer be rated.
7bis.4. What is shown, and where. On the Sessions that a Host has posted, the App shows that Host's average to one decimal place together with the number of ratings. The Host Rating is not shown on the Profile, in the Ranking, on the leaderboard or anywhere else in the App, and is not shown for Users who have never hosted a Session.
7bis.5. What the Host sees. A Host can consult his own ratings and the accompanying comments in the App, but not which Player gave which rating. Ratings are not anonymous to the Operator: the Operator can establish who gave a rating, in order to handle abuse under Article 7bis.7.
7bis.6. Calculation. The average is calculated by the Operator's servers on the basis of the ratings received. A User cannot set, amend or delete his own Host Rating, and Article 3.7 applies to the Host Rating as it does to the other statistics.
7bis.7. Abuse. A comment is subject to Article 8 in the same way as any other conduct on the Platform. The Operator may remove a rating or a comment that is abusive, discriminatory, untruthful or unrelated to the Session concerned, and recalculates the average accordingly. Coordinated rating of a Host — whether to inflate or to damage a score — is a breach of these Terms & Conditions.
7bis.8. Nature of a Host Rating. A Host Rating is the opinion of the Players concerned and not an assessment, recommendation or warranty by the Operator as to the Host or the Session.
8.1. The User commits to behaving in a sportsmanlike, respectful and friendly manner during Sessions and when using the App. Players must be kind to each other and contribute to a pleasant and safe atmosphere.
8.2. The following is expressly prohibited:
8.3. In the event of a violation of the Code of Conduct, the Operator may, taking into account the severity of the violation:
8.4. A User who is suspended or banned will be informed of the reason and may submit a written objection to info@projectfirstleague.com within 14 days. The Operator will review the objection and respond within 30 days. The sanction remains in effect during the review.
9.1. By participating in a Session, the User agrees to comply with the rules and regulations of the venue (pitch) at which the Session takes place.
9.2. These venue rules may include, but are not limited to, regulations regarding footwear, equipment, behaviour, access and use of facilities.
9.3. The User is personally responsible for familiarising themselves with the applicable venue rules prior to participation. The Operator is not liable for any consequences arising from the User's failure to comply with venue rules.
9.4. In the event of a conflict between these Terms & Conditions and the venue's rules, the stricter provision shall apply.
10.1. The App may offer Sessions specifically designated as Women's Sessions.
10.2. Women's Sessions are exclusively accessible to female Players. Male Players are not permitted to book or participate in Women's Sessions.
10.3. By booking a Women's Session, the User confirms that they identify as female and are eligible to participate.
10.4. The Operator reserves the right to verify eligibility and to remove or ban any User who does not comply with this provision, without entitlement to any refund or compensation.
11.1. After each Session, once the check-in window has closed, the MVP Voting opens for Players who checked in. Voting closes 24 hours after the start of the Session.
11.2. Each attending Player may cast one vote. A Player may not vote for themselves. In the event of a tie, all tied Players are recorded as MVP.
11.3. Voting results are automatically processed by the App and recorded in the Profile statistics (MVP counter).
11.4. Manipulation of the voting (collusion, multiple votes via multiple accounts, etc.) is prohibited and may result in sanctions pursuant to Article 8.3.
11.5. Ranking: the App maintains a leaderboard on which Players are ranked based on their MVP score, Total Played and XP. This Ranking is visible to all Users in the App and serves as a competitive element.
11.6. XP: Experience Points are awarded automatically, including for attending a Session, casting an MVP vote, and being voted MVP. The applicable amounts and the level progression are explained in the App. The exact calculation is the property of the Operator and may be adjusted without prior notice.
11.7. Statistics, Ranking positions, XP and Coins do not confer any right to financial benefits or payouts, unless explicitly stated otherwise by the Operator.
12.1. PARTICIPATION IN SESSIONS IS ENTIRELY AT THE USER'S OWN RISK. Recreational football carries inherent risks of injury. The User acknowledges and fully accepts these risks. By booking a Session, the User declares that they are in adequate physical health and condition to participate in recreational football. In case of doubt, the User should consult a doctor before participating.
12.2. No supervision, refereeing or medical assistance. Sessions are self-organised. No representative of the Operator is present at a Session, Sessions are not refereed, and the Operator provides no first aid, medical assistance or supervision of any kind. In the event of an injury or emergency, Players are responsible for calling the emergency services (112).
