Terms of Service

1. Introduction & Acceptance

Welcome to Clubnizer ("Service," "Platform," "we," "us," or "our"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Clubnizer, a platform for managing sports clubs, groups, events, and member communications. By creating an account, accessing, or using Clubnizer, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Definitions

• "Club": An organization created on Clubnizer to manage sports teams, groups, and members.
• "Club Administrator": A user with administrative privileges over a Club.
• "Member": A user who belongs to one or more Clubs on the Platform.
• "Youth Member": A member under the age of 16 who requires guardian association.
• "Guardian": An adult user responsible for a Youth Member's participation.
• "Data Controller": The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (Clubs, in the context of Club member data).
• "Data Processor": The entity that processes personal data on behalf of a Data Controller (Clubnizer, in the context of Club member data).
• "Personal Data": Any information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.

3. Account Registration

To create an account, you must be at least 16 years of age (or have guardian consent if younger), provide accurate registration information, and maintain the security of your account credentials. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account.

If you create or administer a Club on Clubnizer, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind the Club (and, if applicable, the legal entity it represents) to these Terms, including the Data Processing provisions contained herein.

4. Club Administration & Data Controller Responsibilities

Clubs and their designated administrators act as Data Controllers for personal data collected and processed within their Club. As Data Controllers, Club administrators determine the purposes for which member data is collected, are responsible for ensuring a lawful basis exists for processing, determine which members have access to other members' information, and are responsible for complying with applicable data protection laws.

Club administrators are solely responsible for obtaining appropriate consent from guardians before adding Youth Members to the Platform. Clubnizer does not independently verify that guardian consent has been obtained.

5. Clubnizer as Data Processor

Clubnizer acts solely as a Data Processor on behalf of Clubs for data processed within Clubs. We process personal data only on documented instructions from Clubs, do not independently determine the purposes or means of processing Club member data, do not use Club member data for our own purposes beyond providing and improving the Service, and implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. For data directly related to your Clubnizer account, Clubnizer acts as a Data Controller.

6. Data Processing Agreement

This section constitutes the Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") between Clubnizer (Processor) and Clubs (Controllers) as required under applicable data protection laws. Processing covers the provision of club management platform services for the duration of the Club's use of the Service.

Clubnizer engages sub-processors including Google Cloud / Firebase (infrastructure, authentication, database), Stripe (payment processing), and email delivery providers. We may update sub-processors from time to time and will communicate material changes via the Platform.

Clubnizer implements appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, access controls and authentication mechanisms, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures. We do not guarantee absolute security, as no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

In the event of a personal data breach affecting Club data, Clubnizer will notify the affected Club without undue delay and in accordance with applicable law.

7. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose, upload or transmit harmful content, attempt to gain unauthorized access, interfere with the Service's operation, impersonate any person, harvest user information without consent, or use the Service to send unsolicited communications. We reserve the right to remove content that violates these standards.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, features, and content (excluding user content), is owned by Clubnizer and protected by intellectual property laws. You retain ownership of content you create on the Platform. By posting content, you grant Clubnizer a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute such content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.

9. Service Availability

We aim to provide reliable service but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free, or secure operation. The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time with reasonable notice where practicable.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Clubnizer shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities. Total aggregate liability shall not exceed the fees paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability for certain damages; in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Clubnizer from any claims arising from your use of the Service, violation of these Terms, or violation of any third-party rights. Club administrators additionally agree to indemnify Clubnizer for any claims arising from their failure to obtain proper guardian consent for Youth Members, establish lawful basis for processing member data, or fulfill their obligations as Data Controllers.

12. Termination & Account Deletion

You may delete your account at any time through the Platform settings. Deleted accounts and removed memberships are subject to a temporary recovery period before permanent deletion. We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, your account is inactive for an extended period, required by law, or necessary to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to access the Service will cease and your data will be handled according to our Privacy Policy.

13. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via notice on the Platform or email. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Clubnizer regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, and communications, whether written or oral.

15. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent, or if such modification is not possible, it shall be severed from these Terms.

16. Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or any rights hereunder without Clubnizer's prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section shall be void. Clubnizer may assign these Terms without restriction, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

17. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Sweden.
