1. Eligibility & Age Requirement

You must be at least 13 years of age to create an account and use TournMate. During account setup, you are required to provide your date of birth, which is used to verify your age and determine eligibility for age-restricted tournament categories. If your date of birth indicates you are under 13, you will not be able to create an account.

If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's consent to use the App. Parents or guardians may create and manage accounts on behalf of minors aged 13 and above. By creating an account you confirm that the information you provide, including your date of birth, is accurate and complete. Providing a false date of birth is grounds for account termination.

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration.
• Keep your password secure and confidential.

4. Platform Role & Disclaimer

TournMate acts solely as a platform to organize and discover sports events. We provide software tools that enable users to create, manage, and join tournaments and open play sessions. We do not own, operate, supervise, or control any tournament, event, venue, or play session listed on the App. All events are organized by independent users ("Organizers") who bear full responsibility for their events.

5. Tournaments

TournMate provides tools for users to create, manage, and participate in tournaments. Please note:

• Organizer Responsibility: Tournament organizers are solely responsible for the accuracy of tournament details (venue, date, rules, prizes), the conduct of the event, and any obligations to participants.
• Disputes: Any disputes between tournament organizers and participants are to be resolved directly between the parties involved. TournMate is not a party to such disputes and bears no liability.

6. Rewards, Prizes & Entry Fees

All payments, rewards, prizes, and related financial obligations are the sole responsibility of the event organizer. Specifically:

• TournMate does not collect, process, hold, or distribute any payments, entry fees, prize money, or rewards on behalf of any user or organizer.
• Any prizes, rewards, or winnings advertised by an event organizer are the sole obligation of that organizer. TournMate does not guarantee, fund, verify, or administer any prizes.
• Entry fees, cost-per-person charges, and any other financial arrangements are handled directly between organizers and participants. TournMate is not an escrow, payment processor, or financial intermediary.
• TournMate is not liable for any failure by an organizer to pay prizes, honor commitments, or fulfill financial obligations of any kind.
• Users are solely responsible for complying with all applicable tax laws and regulations related to any prizes, winnings, or payments received through events organized via the App.

TournMate allows users to create and join casual open play sessions. Please note:

• Host Responsibility: Session hosts are responsible for the accuracy of session details (venue, time, skill level, cost).

• Cancellations: Hosts may cancel or modify sessions at any time. We encourage hosts to notify attendees promptly.
• Costs: Any cost-per-person fees are arranged directly between the host and attendees. TournMate does not collect, process, or guarantee these payments.

8. Assumption of Risk & Physical Activity

Participating in sports and physical activities involves inherent risks, including but not limited to the risk of bodily injury, disability, or death. By using TournMate to find, join, or organize tournaments, open play sessions, or any physical activity, you acknowledge and voluntarily assume all such risks. Specifically:

• You acknowledge that badminton and other racket sports are physically demanding activities that carry inherent risks of injury, including but not limited to muscle strains, ligament tears, fractures, concussions, eye injuries, and cardiac events.

• Regulatory Compliance: If organizing events in countries that require permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals for sports events, competitions, or public gatherings, obtaining such compliance is the sole responsibility of the organizer.

10. Payments & Financial Disclaimer

TournMate does not process payments, collect entry fees, or act as a payment intermediary in any jurisdiction. All financial transactions — including tournament entry fees, open play costs, prize distributions, and reward payments — are handled directly between users and/or event organizers using their own payment methods and platforms. TournMate bears no responsibility for:

• Payment disputes, refunds, chargebacks, or unfulfilled financial commitments between users.

• Not Medical Advice: Calorie estimates — whether from Apple HealthKit or MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formulas — are approximations only and are not medical or health advice.
• Accuracy: Calorie data may be inaccurate due to sensor limitations, incorrect user input, or metabolic variations. Do not rely on these figures for medical, dietary, or health decisions.
