Terms of service

These terms are the agreement between you and Trident Software Consulting, Inc. ("we", "us"), which runs FairRally. By creating an account and ticking the box, you agree to them and to the Privacy policy.

What FairRally is

FairRally is a free app for running racket-sport sessions (badminton, pickleball and table tennis) with your group. It builds rotations, keeps live scores, and shows ratings and leaderboards inside each group, called a guild.

It is free. We may change, pause or stop the app, or any feature, at any time.

Your account

• You need a Google account to sign in today.
• You must be at least 16 years old.
• Use a display name that is yours or a nickname you are happy for your guild to see. Do not pretend to be someone else.
• Keep your Google account secure. You are responsible for what happens when you are signed in. If you lose a device, use Sign out everywhere in the Me page.

Acceptable use

Do not:

• harass, threaten or abuse other people, or use offensive names for yourself, guilds or guests;
• add a guest under a real person's name without their permission;
• enter scores you know are false, or misuse admin powers;
• try to see data you are not allowed to see, break or overload the app, guess invite links, or get around limits;
• use automated tools to sign up, scrape or send requests;
• use FairRally for anything illegal, or to sell or advertise.

We may limit, suspend or remove accounts or guilds that break these rules, or that put the app or other people at risk.

Guild owners and admins

If you create a guild you are its owner. Owners and admins have extra powers, and with them extra responsibility:

• Who gets in: you decide who joins (by invite link, approval or open joining) and who is removed. Share the invite link only with people you mean to invite, and reset it if it leaks.
• Fair play: use corrections, removals and session deletes honestly. These actions are recorded in the guild's audit log for 90 days.
• Guests: guest names are visible to the whole guild. Only add guests who are happy to be listed, and prefer first names or nicknames.
• Privacy requests: if a member or guest asks you to remove their data from your guild, help them, or point them to privacy@fairrally.com.
• Deleting a guild is permanent. It removes every session, game, score and rating in it for everyone, straight away. There is no undo.
• Leaving: an owner must hand ownership to another member before leaving the guild or deleting their account, if other members with accounts remain.

Your content

You keep any rights in what you enter (names, guild names, locations, scores). You let us store and show it to the members of your guild so the app can work. We do not use it for anything else.

Removing your account

You can delete your account at any time in the Me page. Your past games and ratings stay in your guilds so everyone else's results stay correct, but your name becomes "Deleted player". Details are in Data retention and deletion.

Playing sport is your own risk

Badminton, pickleball and table tennis are physical activities. You take part at your own risk. FairRally only keeps lists, rotations and scores: we do not organise, supervise or insure any game, venue or session, and we do not check anyone's fitness, skill, equipment or conduct. You are responsible for deciding whether you are fit to play, for following the venue's rules, and for your own insurance. Places and maps shown in the app are only a convenience and may be wrong.

No warranty

FairRally is provided "as is" and "as available", for free, without any promise or warranty of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a purpose, accuracy, availability or that it will be free of errors or interruptions. We do not promise that it will always work or keep your data forever. Rotations, ratings and leaderboards are for fun and fairness; do not rely on them for anything important, such as prizes or selection.

Keep your own notes of anything that matters to you.

Limit of liability

FairRally is free, and we accept no liability for it. To the maximum extent the law allows, we and our directors, staff and service providers are not liable to you or anyone else for any loss or damage of any kind arising from the app or these terms, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential, and whether in contract, negligence or anything else. That includes lost data, lost profits, injury or loss at a game or venue, anything another member or guest does, and any downtime. Where the law does not allow us to exclude liability completely, our total liability for all claims is limited to CAD 0, or the smallest amount the law allows if that figure is not permitted.

Nothing in these terms limits a right or liability that cannot lawfully be limited, such as liability for fraud or wilful misconduct, or a consumer right that applies where you live. If a part of this section is not allowed where you live, the rest still applies as far as the law lets it.

Other members

Other people use FairRally too. We are not responsible for what members, guild owners, admins or guests do, say or enter, inside or outside the app. Disputes between members are between them.

If you cause us a problem

You agree to pay back, and to protect us from, claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that come from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the app, or content you enter that you had no right to enter, to the extent the law allows.

Ending your use, and ours

You can stop at any time by deleting your account. We may suspend or end your access, remove content, or close FairRally or any part of it, at any time, with or without notice, for example if you break these terms or to protect the app or other people. Sections that by their nature should survive (including playing at your own risk, no warranty, limit of liability, other members, and governing law) continue after your access ends.

Changes to these terms

When we change these terms we update the version and the "last updated" date at the top of this page. If a change is important, we will try to tell you before it applies. If you keep using FairRally after a change, you accept the new terms. If you do not agree, delete your account.

General

• These terms, together with the Privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about FairRally.
• If a part of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
• If we do not enforce a right straight away, we have not given it up.
• You may not transfer your account or these terms to someone else. We may transfer ours as part of a sale or reorganisation of our business, or to a successor operator of FairRally.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Any dispute is to be brought in the courts of Ontario, except that where the law of your home country gives you the right to go to your local courts or to rely on its mandatory consumer protections, those rights are not affected.
