Terms of service

Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Court Mate LLC (“Court Mate”, “we”, “us”) for your use of the Court Mate apps and this website (the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy policy. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

Who can use Court Mate

You must be at least 13. If you are under 18 you need a parent or guardian’s agreement, and they agree to these terms for you. You may not use the Service if we have removed you from it before.

Your account

You sign in with your mobile number and a one-time code. You are responsible for what happens under your account, so keep your phone secure. Give accurate information, keep one account, and tell us if you think someone else has used yours.

Using the Service

We give you a personal, non-transferable right to use the Service for your own tennis. You agree not to:

• harass, threaten, mislead or impersonate anyone, or post anything unlawful, hateful or sexually explicit;
• enter false scores or results, or interfere with ladders, leaderboards or ratings;
• record or photograph people who haven’t agreed to it, or upload content you don’t have the right to share;
• contact people who haven’t asked to hear from you, or use the Service to advertise;
• copy, scrape, reverse engineer or disrupt the Service, or get around its limits;
• use the Service if you are under 13, or to contact a minor in a way these terms or the law don’t allow.

Other players, and meeting in person

Court Mate helps you find and arrange to play with other people. We don’t run background checks and can’t vouch for anyone. Use good judgement, meet in public places, and tell someone where you’re going. You can block or report a player from a conversation. We may remove content or accounts that break these terms.

Your content

Your recordings, scores, messages and other content belong to you. You give Court Mate permission to store, process and display your content as needed to run the Service for you, and to show it to the people you share it with. We use full-quality recordings to improve our ball tracking only with your permission. You are responsible for your content and for having the right to share it.

Recording

You are responsible for following the recording and privacy laws that apply where you play, and for getting the agreement of the people you record.

Line calls, scores and stats

Calls, speeds, ratings and stats are estimates from your phone’s camera and from what players enter. They are there to help you play and improve. They are not official rulings, and players remain responsible for their own calls and scores.

Health and safety

Tennis is physical activity and carries a risk of injury. Check with a doctor before you start, play within your limits, and stop if you feel unwell. Heart rate, steps and calories are estimates and are not medical advice. You play, and meet other people, at your own risk.

Coaches, clubs and events

Coaches, clubs, schools and tournament organisers who use Court Mate are independent of us. We are not responsible for their services, their decisions or their events, and any agreement you make with them is between you and them.

Invites and texts

When you add or invite someone, you confirm you have their permission to share their name and number with us so we can text them about that invite or match. By giving us your own number you agree to receive texts about your account, invites and matches. Message and data rates may apply.

Subscriptions and payments

Some features need a paid subscription (“Pro”), bought through the App Store or Google Play. The price and what’s included are shown before you pay.

• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends.
• Manage or cancel in your App Store or Google Play account settings. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• Payments and refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their terms.
• If we change a price, we’ll tell you first, and the change applies from your next period.
• Free periods, free years and free plans (for example for invited players, coaches, verified professionals and school players) are offered at our discretion and may be changed or ended.

Third-party services

The Service relies on others, including Apple, Google, mapping, messaging and data providers. Their terms apply to their parts, and we are not responsible for them. Information from third parties, such as places, leagues and schedules, may be incomplete or out of date.

Our rights in the Service

The apps, this website, the Court Mate name and logo, and everything in them other than your content belong to us or our licensors. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely.

Ending your use

You can stop using the Service and delete your account at any time in Settings. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, put others at risk, or if we have to by law. The parts of these terms that are meant to continue (such as ownership, disclaimers and limits of liability) continue after your account ends.

Disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the extent the law allows, we make no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that the Service will be uninterrupted, accurate or error-free, or fit for a particular purpose.

Limit of liability

To the extent the law allows, Court Mate and its owners, employees and partners are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost data or profits, arising from your use of the Service, your dealings with other users, or anything that happens on or off court. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US $100. Some places don’t allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.

Indemnity

You agree to cover Court Mate for claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your content, your use of the Service, or your breaking these terms or the law.

Disputes and governing law

If you have a problem, contact us first through the Support page and we’ll try to sort it out. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be heard in the state or federal courts located in Texas, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.

Apple App Store

If you got the app from the Apple App Store: these terms are between you and Court Mate, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. Your licence is limited to using the app on Apple devices you own or control, as the App Store’s usage rules allow. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support. If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies, you may tell Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for claims about the app, including product liability, legal compliance, consumer protection or intellectual-property claims. You confirm you are not in a country under a US Government embargo and are not on a US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You must follow any third-party terms that apply when using the app. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. We’ll post the new version here and change the date at the top, and if a change is significant we’ll tell you in the app before it takes effect. Using the Service after that means you accept the new terms.

General

If part of these terms can’t be enforced, the rest still applies. Our not enforcing something isn’t a waiver of it. You may not transfer these terms; we may, as part of a merger or sale. These terms and the Privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
