Terms of Use
These Terms only apply to your use of the Service.
The sports facilities and venues (below called “Venues”) where you make a
booking have separate terms that will apply to your specific booking or purchase. For
example, the Venues have their own terms on cancellation, refund, purchase and conditions
for using their respective facilities or taking part in any activities.
When you have made a booking or purchase through MATCHi, it will be available
to that specific Venue in its booking system. We only act as a facilitator, which
means your booking, as well as your payment, will be forwarded to the relevant
selling Venue. This also means that the Venue is fully responsible for its
facilities, its services and its acts and omissions and we are not liable to
you or any person for anything that is related to the Venues and its goods and
services.
In addition, we also provide our own offering which is the booking service and
its associated functions and features which we describe in more detail below.
Most of this is provided free of charge but some items may carry a fee and
if so it is clearly advertised within the Service.
Below you will find some examples of features and information that become
available when you choose to register a MATCHi account:
- create a profile and provide information such as your contact details,
gender, date of birth and picture as well as a description of you and
information you wish to provide;
- find available courses and activities at Venues;
- book and pay for courses and activities, become a member or purchase
vouchers at Venues;
- get an overview of previous and upcoming bookings and activities;
- get an overview of messages, recordings, favourite Venues, membership at
Venues, playing level and game strength;
- get information about your booking history, saved Vouchers (coupons,
gift cards) and pending and previous payments. It is also possible to add and
save a payment method;
- experience the community aspect by connecting with other players, see other players who are registered for activities, invite them to your booking and possibly split the payment between participants;
- get access to Padelboard by MATCHi - a complete Tournament tool where Players can take part in the competitions organised by Venues and find matches, report and follow standings and results, receive tournament-ID, text message or QR code for a specific Tournament;
- manage account settings and preferences, such as subscription to
newsletters; and
- activate the optional and free matchmaking function, which gives you the
possibility to match with another player based on your profile and playing
behaviour, for example how often, where and when you play. You can also get an
overview of players that you have matched with; and
- any other optional function/feature/service offered from time to time.
To register and manage your MATCHi account and your use of the Service, we will
need to process your personal data. The type of personal data will vary
depending on what parts of the Service you are using. You can read more about our
processing of your personal data in our Privacy Policy and we also recommend that you review the Privacy settings and other settings within the Service to suit your preferred option and we alert you to the fact that parts of the Service require you to enter information about yourself as well as make information available to other participants - mainly regarding participation in competitions.
Below you will find our Terms in their full and detailed version. Some of
the information is included due to legal requirements. Therefore, they might
feel a bit lengthy and cumbersome – but do not hesitate to contact us if you have
any questions. You can contact us by email at support@matchi.se or regarding Padelboard at hello@padelboard.app.

processing of your personal data can be found in our Privacy
Policy.
- The registration of a MATCHi account is free of charge. We reserve the right to add or remove features, functionality or offers and make it available to you with or without a charge or a fee. If an Offering within the Service incurs a fee, it will always be clearly stated and evident to the user but if you enter competitions, or activities or sign up to events via the Venues templates/forms, please note that the Venues might charge you separately.

- Bookings, Purchases and Payments Within MATCHi
- You may book and pay for courses and activities at Venues, or purchase the
Venues vouchers, memberships or other Offerings, through your MATCHi account.
- The Venues and their contact details as well as the courses, activities, competitions and tournament information and
time slots available to you will be stated on the Website and in the App and may
vary from time to time. Please note that the Supplier is not responsible for the
available Venues, courses, activities, competitions, time slots, memberships, vouchers or other Offers by Venues.
- A purchased booking within MATCHi may only be used in its entirety on a
single occasion. It is not possible to save a booking for future use. The
booking is personal and may not be transferred to another party, unless
otherwise specified.
- Venues sometimes choose to issue different types of redeemable value cards,
punch cards, vouchers or other documents (hereinafter “Vouchers”) where the
purchaser pays in advance and can then use the balance on the Vouchers to pay
for goods or services at one or more Venues for a determined length of time
under the terms and conditions determined by the issuing Venue.
- When you make a booking or purchase through MATCHi, your booking or purchase
will be forwarded to the relevant Venue. Your booking will be available to the
Venue in the Venue’s booking system. The Venues act independently from us and
are by no means part of the Supplier. The Venues are not agents of us and the
Venues do not have any right to represent us. We are not, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, responsible for any information or content on the
Venues’ websites and/or applications or any information provided by them, we are
not responsible for the Venues facilities, its goods, services, Vouchers and or
its acts or omissions.
- We act as a facilitator of the bookings or purchases that you make at the
Venues through the Service, including for the payment of the booking, membership, Voucher or other offer. This means that when you make a payment at our Website or in our MATCHi App,
payment is made to us or a party designated by us and then your payment is
forwarded to the relevant Venue. We act as a commercial agent in the name and for the account of the
Venues. We do not bear the costs or the benefits of the legal transaction to be
carried out but settle accounts with the Venue in question.
- If you book a Venue in Switzerland, such a designated partner as mentioned
above is MATCHi GmbH.
- The prices that are stated on the Website and/or in the Apps at the time of
booking or purchase apply to your booking or purchase. All prices are represented in local currency
including, if applicable, VAT.
- If the price or information about a course, activity or other offer listed on the Website
and/or in the App is incorrect and you realised or should have realised that,
the price or information will not apply to the purchase. In that case, we will
contact you as soon as possible.
- We offer different payment options and you can choose which payment option
that you want to use. We, and/or the payment service providers we make use of,
have the right to choose which payment options to offer, which can differ from
time to time. The available payment options that you can choose from are always
stated clearly before the completion or check-out. Additional costs may apply, depending on the option
that you choose.
- It may be possible for you to cancel your booking and receive a refund,
depending on and according to the Venue’s terms for cancellations and refunds.
The applicable terms may therefore vary depending on to which Venue the booking
has been made. This means that you may be charged a cancellation fee or that you
will have to pay the full price for your booking according to the Venue´s terms
for cancellations and refunds. The specific terms that applies to your booking
will be stated on the Website and/or in the App at the time of booking. Each
Venue might in addition to the above also have terms applicable to the use of
their facilities, participation in activities, redemption of Vouchers or purchases of goods or services.
- We may also charge a cancellation fee upon your cancellation. If we charge a
cancellation fee, this will be stated on the Website and/or in the App at the
time of booking. Such fee is not for the account of the Venue and will not be
forwarded to the Venue.
- In addition to the above, part of our own Offerings is the option to split a payment
between several players when making a booking. The User initiating a booking with a split
payment is always responsible and agrees to pay up to the full amount of the booking,
should invited players not follow through and pay their part or cancel their payment.
When opting to split a payment, the use of the feature incurs a fee which is charged to each participant
and this fee is not refundable.
- Modifications and Updates
- The Service is an online service and we will provide the version of it that
is the most recent one available at the time of the conclusion of these Terms.
- If you use any of the Apps, we will provide updates and features as they become
available and provide you with updates, including security updates, in order to
keep the Service secure and in conformity with these Terms. In some cases, you need
to take action to update the Service. You are free to choose whether to install the
updates provided. If you decide not to install the updates, you should, however,
not expect that the Service remains in conformity with these Terms. If you decide not
to install updates which are necessary for keeping MATCHi in conformity with
these Terms, including security updates, it will affect our liability for
conformity in relation to those features that the relevant updates are supposed
to maintain in conformity. If an update is required, we will inform you of this
and any consequences of not implementing the update.
- In addition to modifications aimed at maintaining conformity, we will under
certain conditions modify the features of the Service, provided that we have a valid
reason for such modification and if it is without cost for you. We have a valid
reason to make changes where the modification is necessary in order to adapt
the Service to a new technical environment or an increased number of users, if we
have other important operational reasons, if we want to develop or add any type
of features or contents or if we want to improve the user-experience
of the Service or part thereof. We will inform you of any changes in accordance with mandatory
regulations.
- You always have the right to, at any given time, stop using the Service, delete
your MATCHi account and/or uninstall the Apps, independent of whether we have
made changes to it or not.
- Maintenance and Support
- Although it is our ambition, we cannot guarantee that the Service, the Website
and/or Apps are provided without technical disruptions. We may therefore have to
restrict the access to the Service, Website and/or App due to for example service,
support, safety or technical reasons.
- If there is any problem with the Service, the User shall, to the extent that can
be considered reasonable, work together with us to determine if it is the User’s
hardware, software or network connection that causes problems with the Service. If
not, we may not be able to help the User with the problem.
- If there is any problem with the Service, the Website and/or the Apps, or if the
User is dissatisfied in any way, we should be contacted as soon as possible. Our
contact details are stated below in section 13. We will do our best to try and
find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.

is important that the Supplier is informed as soon as possible. The Supplier´s
contact details are stated below in section 13.
- If the User has downloaded any of the Apps from Google Play Store,
Google has no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to any of the Apps and any
claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any
failure to conform to any warranty will be our sole responsibility.
- If the User downloads either of the Apps from App Store the following
also applies:
- The User confirms that the Supplier, and not Apple Inc., is solely
responsible for any of the Apps and its contents.
- The User confirms that the User is only granted a non-transferable right to
use any of the Apps on any Apple-branded products owned or controlled by the User in a
way that is allowed according to Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
- In the event of any failure of any of the Apps to conform to any applicable
warranty, the User may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price
for any of the Apps to the User. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law,
Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to any of the Apps, and
any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable
to any failure to conform to any warranty will be the Supplier’s sole
responsibility.

and iii) claims arising under consumer protection law or similar legislation.
- In the event of any third party claim that any of the Apps or the User’s possession

investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of such intellectual property
infringement claims.
- By accepting the Terms, the User represents and warrants that (i) the User
is not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or
that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting”
country; and (ii) the User is not listed on any U.S. Government list of

Conditions, also comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when
using any of the Apps.
- The User acknowledges and agrees that Apple Inc., and its subsidiaries, may
be a third-party beneficiary of the Terms and, upon the User’s acceptance of the
Terms, Apple Inc. will have the right to enforce the Terms against the User as a
third-party beneficiary of the Terms.
- Intellectual Property Rights
- The Service and all intellectual property rights associated therewith are, and

User has no right, title or interest in or to the Service or the intellectual

pictures or other information, you have the right to use such information and
that it does not infringe any third party rights.
- Personal Data
- We are the controller for the processing of your personal data relating to
your use of the Service. We process your personal data mainly to administrate your
MATCHi account and to provide the Service. Information regarding our processing of
personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy.
- Your personal data will also be processed by the Venues where you have made
a booking, purchase or are a member. Venues are also controllers for processing
of personal data to administrate your bookings, purchases and memberships.
Information about our respective responsibilities in relation to this can be
found in our Privacy Policy and to the extent the Venue is the controller, in
the Venues equivalent document.
- As the Venues will also process your personal data as independent controllers
and will inform you of this separately, we suggest you read the Venues information on privacy and personal data.
- Right of Withdrawal
- According to mandatory EU consumer protection legislation, you have the
right to withdraw from your agreement with us within fourteen (14) days from the
day you downloaded and accepted these Terms. Since the Service is free to use, if you
choose to exercise this right, we recommend that you do so by removing your
MATCHi account.
- If you use any of the Apps you also need to uninstall each of the Apps individually from your phone. You
can also contact us on the contact details specified in section 13 below or use
the Swedish Consumer Agency’s standard form for exercising the right of
withdrawal which you can find here.
If you exercise your right of withdrawal, we will remove all personal data that
you have provided to us through the Service in accordance with GDPR. Please note that
your personal data may still be processed through your MATCHi account if you
only uninstall the App from your phone but don’t delete your MATCHi account, as
this is still accessible through our Website. For more information about our
processing of personal data see our Privacy Policy.
- You can always stop using the Service, uninstall the App and/or delete your
MATCHi account even if the above-mentioned 14-day period has passed. If you have
any questions or wish to withdraw from your agreement with us, you can always
contact us on the contact details specified in section 13 in these Terms.
- The right of withdrawal according to mandatory EU consumer protection
legislation does not apply to the bookings and purchases you make at Venues
through MATCHi, since these concern leisure activities carried out on a given
day or for a limited period of time. Therefore, you have no right to withdraw
from bookings at Venues. You may however in certain cases cancel your bookings and receive a
refund according to the Venues’ terms for cancellations and refunds as stated
above in section 4, but we will always charge a standard cancellation fee.
- When making use of our own Offerings (such as, but not limited to, opting for split payments)
you agree to the service being carried out promptly, or even instantaneously, and
you explicitly forgo any right to withdrawal in relation thereto.
- When purchasing from a Venue within the EEA, you might have a right of
withdrawal according to mandatory EU consumer protection legislation, for
purchases that are not bookings of leisure activities. In such a case, you must
contact your Venue directly to exercise your right and you must do so within 14
days of your purchase. You find your Venues contact details on your receipt or
on the Venues own section of MATCHi. If you wish, you may use one of the
standard forms for withdrawal provided by the Swedish Consumer Agency, linked
under section 10.2 above. You do not have to give a reason for your decision but
must make clear to the Venue that you want to withdraw.
- Complaints
- If there is something wrong concerning your use of the Service, you have the
right to make a complaint during the time that these Terms apply and up to two
months from the time of termination of these Terms. In the event of a successful
complaint you have a right to compensation and amendment in accordance with
mandatory law.
- If you want to make a complaint, you can contact us on the contact details
stated in section 13 below.
- Our liability is as limited as permitted by applicable law or mandatory
consumer protection law in your country of residence where we market the Service.
- The Supplier is not responsible for the service provided by Venues at the
respective facilities and will not accept any claims related to the Venues,
their products, services, acts and omissions.
- Term, Termination and Changes
- These Terms enter into force on the adoption date set out below. Your
agreement with us will enter into force when you start to use the Service or register
a MATCHi account. Your agreement with us will remain in force until you delete
your MATCHi account or, if you do not have a registered MATCHi account, stop
using the Service.
- You always have the right to, at any given time, stop using the Service, delete
your MATCHi account and/or uninstall the App.
- The special terms for the App (section 7 in these Terms) and all other terms
regarding the App will enter into force when you install and use any of the Apps for the
first time and will remain in force until you uninstall both Apps.
- We reserve the right to make changes and amendments to these Terms. The
latest updated version of the Terms is posted on the Website and in the App.
Changes will become valid once you have accepted the Terms (when you use
the Service), or thirty (30) days after we have informed you of the changes. You are
entitled to delete your MATCHi account, stop using the Service and/or uninstall the
Apps from your phone/device when you become aware of such changes.
- We have the right to assign any part of our rights and obligations under the
agreement between the Supplier and the User without the User’s prior consent.
- Contact Information
- If you have questions or want to file a complaint, you can contact us by our
email-address support@matchi.se. Our postal address is Gullbergs Strandgata 15,
411 04 Gothenburg, Sweden.
- Governing Law and Disputes
- Any dispute, controversy or claim regarding the interpretation or
application of these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
Swedish law and settled by public court in Sweden.
- In the event of a dispute, we follow decisions from alternative dispute
resolution bodies. You can contact The National Board for Consumer Disputes
(ARN), either on their website or by sending a
letter to Box 174, 101 23 Stockholm.
