Terms of Service

1. Acceptance & Scope

By creating an account, downloading the mobile application, or otherwise accessing the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms") and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

Where you use the Service through Apple's App Store or Google Play, the additional terms in §16 (Mobile App Store Terms) also apply.

2. The Service

RecreationPro is a software platform that helps recreational sports groups schedule matches, record attendance, rate teammates, view leaderboards and achievements, and (optionally) sync data from compatible Bluetooth fitness wearables. The Service is intended exclusively for amateur, recreational use.

3. Eligibility & Account Registration

Minimum age: You must be at least 14 years old (the age of digital consent in Austria under §4(4) DSG). Users under 14 must obtain verifiable consent from a parent or legal guardian.

Accurate information: You agree to provide truthful registration information and to keep your profile up to date.

Account security: You are responsible for keeping your password confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at contact@recreation-pro.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• harass, threaten, defame, bully, or discriminate against any other user;
• upload content that is unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or that infringes third-party rights;
• impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any individual or entity;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to any account, system, or data;
• scrape, crawl, mine, or otherwise extract data from the Service without our written permission;
• reverse-engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Service except where mandatory law allows it;
• upload viruses, malware, or any code intended to disrupt the Service;
• use the Service for commercial gambling, betting, or organised competitive sport for prize money;
• submit ratings or feedback in bad faith, in coordinated retaliation, or to manipulate leaderboards.

We may remove content or suspend accounts that violate this section, in our reasonable discretion and where proportionate.

5. User Content & Licence

Ownership. You retain all ownership rights in the content you submit (profile photos, group/match data, ratings, feedback, messages — collectively, "User Content").

Licence to us. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, modify (for technical purposes only, e.g. resizing), display, and distribute your User Content solely as required to operate, secure, and improve the Service. This licence ends when you delete the content or your account, except for anonymised aggregate data.

Ratings & feedback are subjective. Ratings, skill scores, and player-to-player feedback are opinions of other users. We do not endorse them and provide no warranty as to their accuracy or fairness.

6. Intellectual Property

The Service, including the RecreationPro name, logo, software, source code, design, graphics, and documentation, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by Austrian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service as set out in these Terms, no licence is granted to you. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Service.

7. Pricing & Plans

The Service is offered free of charge for personal, recreational use. The mobile applications contain no in-app purchases and no subscriptions; they will never charge you, and we will never ask for payment information inside the app.

We may, in the future, introduce optional premium features available exclusively through our website at recreation-pro.com. Any such features would be clearly identified as optional, the mobile app would remain fully usable without them, and prices and payment terms would be presented clearly on the website before any payment is taken.

Existing free features will not retroactively become paid without at least 30 days' advance notice in-app and by email.

8. Third-Party Services & Devices

The Service may interoperate with third-party providers and devices, including Apple Push Notification service, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and Bluetooth fitness wearables. These third parties operate independently and are not under our control. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or behaviour of such third-party services or devices, and any use of them is also subject to their respective terms.

9. Wearable Data Disclaimer

Fitness data shown by the Service (heart rate, distance, steps, calories) is sourced from your paired wearable device and is provided for informational and recreational purposes only. The Service is not a medical device, does not diagnose, treat, monitor, or prevent any illness, and must not be relied upon for medical decisions. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting, modifying, or stopping any exercise programme.

10. Availability, Changes & Beta Features

We aim to keep the Service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free operation. We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature at any time, with reasonable notice for material changes that disadvantage users. Features marked "beta" or "preview" are experimental, may change without notice, and may not work as expected.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by mandatory law, the Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. This disclaimer does not limit any statutory warranty rights of consumers under Austrian or EU law.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are liable without limit for damages caused by intent (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), and for damages to life, body, or health.
• For damages caused by ordinary negligence (leichte Fahrlässigkeit), our liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this type of contract.
• We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, loss of profits, loss of data beyond commercially reasonable backups, or loss of goodwill.
• For paid features (if any), our aggregate liability for any 12-month period is limited to the fees you paid in that period.

Mandatory liability under the Austrian Product Liability Act (Produkthaftungsgesetz) and other non-waivable consumer protection laws remains unaffected.

13. Term, Termination & Account Deletion

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Service.

You may terminate at any time by deleting your account in Profile → Settings → Delete account (in the mobile app or on the web), or by emailing contact@recreation-pro.com. Effects of deletion are described in §10 of our Privacy Policy.

We may suspend or terminate your account with reasonable notice (or without notice in cases of serious breach or legal/security risk) if you materially breach these Terms, if continued provision becomes legally or technically impossible, or if your account remains inactive for more than 24 months.

14. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the substantive law of Austria, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If you are a consumer with habitual residence in another EU Member State, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country’s law continue to apply.

Place of jurisdiction for disputes with merchants (Unternehmer) is the court competent for 8020 Graz, Austria. Consumers may sue and be sued at the court of their place of residence in accordance with applicable EU law (Brussels I-bis Regulation).

Online dispute resolution: The European Commission provides an ODR platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are neither obliged nor willing to participate in dispute-resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.

15. Mobile App Store Terms

The mobile app is distributed free of charge through the Apple App Store and Google Play. It contains no in-app purchases, no subscriptions, and no advertising.

Apple App Store. If you obtained the mobile app from Apple, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us only, not Apple, and that Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you. The "Licensed Application End User License Agreement" published by Apple at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula applies to your use of the iOS app and prevails in case of conflict with these Terms to the extent required by Apple.

Google Play. If you obtained the mobile app from Google Play, your use is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. You agree to comply with all applicable Google Play policies.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves or as the law changes. For substantial changes that disadvantage users we will give at least 30 days' advance notice in-app and by email. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may delete your account before they take effect; continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

17. Miscellaneous

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.

Assignment. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign our rights to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or reorganisation, provided your rights remain protected.
