Terms of Service

The purpose of the Service is to gather, within a single interface, information about Belgian tennis: player profiles, clubs, tournaments, results, rankings, community forums, reviews, private messaging and email/WhatsApp alerts.

Access to the Service is free of charge. Some features require creating an account. The Service is intended for natural persons aged at least 13 years old, in accordance with article 7, §1 of the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.

Using the Service implies full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms. If you do not agree with all or part of them, you must stop using the Service.

The operator reserves the right to amend the Terms at any time, in particular to comply with any legal, regulatory, case-law or technical developments. Registered users will be notified of any substantial change by email or through an in-Service notification at least fifteen (15) days before it takes effect. Continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

Creating an account requires a valid email address and a password. You undertake to provide accurate, complete and up-to-date information and to keep it so.

• You are solely responsible for the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity carried out from your account.
• You must inform the operator without delay at :email of any unauthorized use of your account or any breach of its security.
• Only one personal account is allowed per user. Automated or shared accounts are prohibited, save for prior written agreement.
• You may delete your account at any time from the Service settings or by writing to :email.

You undertake to use the Service in accordance with its intended purpose, with Belgian and European law and with third-party rights. The following are in particular prohibited:

• any unlawful, defamatory, abusive, hateful, racist, sexist, homophobic, threatening content, or content inciting violence or discrimination;
• any sexual or pornographic content, or content involving minors;
• publishing personal information about third parties without their consent (address, phone number, health data, etc.);
• harassment, identity theft, phishing or social engineering;
• advertising, unsolicited promotion, spam or any unauthorized commercial use;
• use of bots, scripts or automated techniques to extract, reproduce or resell data from the Service without prior written authorization;
• any attempt to circumvent security, moderation or filtering measures.

You retain ownership of the content you post on the Service (forum posts, reviews, comments, pictures, etc.). By posting content, you grant the operator a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license, strictly limited to hosting, displaying, technically reproducing and promoting the Service, for the legal term of protection of the rights - including indexing by search engines.

You warrant that you hold all necessary rights to the content posted and that it does not infringe any third-party rights (copyright, image rights, privacy, etc.). You shall hold the operator harmless against any third-party claim related to your content.

The operator does not carry out any systematic ex ante monitoring of content but reserves the right to suspend, modify or remove any content, without notice, if it breaches these Terms or the law.

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 on a Single Market for Digital Services (the "Digital Services Act"), you may at any time flag content you deem unlawful or contrary to the Terms through the reporting button displayed on each content item, or by writing to :email.

Any notice must be sufficiently reasoned and precise to allow the operator to identify the content concerned and to assess whether it is manifestly unlawful. Notices are processed as soon as reasonably possible and, as a rule, within seven (7) business days.

A user whose content has been moderated or whose account has been suspended will be informed of the decision and of its grounds (a "statement of reasons" within the meaning of article 17 DSA). Such user may lodge an internal appeal by replying to the notification or writing to :email. Decisions may also be challenged before a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body under article 21 DSA, or before the competent court.

Subject to user-generated content and to public data from sport federations, all elements of the Service (name, logo, graphic charter, interface, database, editorial content, source code, etc.) are protected by copyright, the sui generis database producer's right and other intellectual property rights.

Any reproduction, representation, modification, distribution or exploitation, in whole or in part, without the prior written authorization of the operator is prohibited and constitutes an infringement sanctioned by Book XI of the Belgian Code of Economic Law.

The operator uses reasonable means to ensure the availability and quality of the Service. It cannot, however, guarantee uninterrupted availability free from errors or bugs, nor the full accuracy of published information (in particular data originating from public federation sources).

To the fullest extent permitted by Belgian law, the operator shall not be liable for:

• indirect damages (loss of opportunity, loss of data, commercial prejudice, etc.);
• content posted by users;
• temporary unavailability of the Service caused by maintenance, provider downtime, force majeure or any reasonably unforeseeable external cause.

These Terms neither limit nor exclude the operator's liability in case of intent, gross negligence or injury to life or physical integrity, nor the mandatory rights granted to consumers by Belgian and European law.

The processing of your personal data in connection with the Service is described in detail in our Privacy Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms. We process your data in compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and the Belgian Act of 30 July 2018 on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time.

The operator may, after a formal notice left without effect where reasonably possible, suspend or delete an account in the event of breach of the Terms, fraudulent use, prolonged inactivity (over 24 months) or infringement of other users' rights. In case of manifest and serious breach (hate speech, unlawful content, security threat), suspension may be immediate.

Termination does not give rise to any compensation. Provisions which, by their nature, are intended to survive termination (intellectual property, liability, applicable law) remain in force.

These Terms are governed by Belgian law. Any dispute relating to their interpretation or performance falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of the judicial district of Brussels, subject to mandatory provisions more favourable to consumers.

Before any judicial action, we invite you to contact us at :email to seek an amicable solution. Consumers may also refer to:

• the Consumer Ombudsman Service (Boulevard du Roi Albert II 8 box 1, 1000 Brussels);
• the European Online Dispute Resolution platform: ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a competent court, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. The Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between the user and the operator concerning the Service.
