Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using 1Club (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you may not use the Platform.

The Platform is operated by ABTM Projects GmbH (FN 676680 v, Handelsgericht Wien · UID ATU83200448), Diehlgasse 33/26, 1050 Wien, Österreich, trading under the brand name 1Club ("1Club", "we", "us"). 1Club is a marketplace that connects recreational sports players with game organizers. We do not ourselves organise, host, or operate sports games.

2. Eligibility & Account

2.1 Eligibility

• You must be at least 16 years old to register.
• You must provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep it up to date.
• You may register only one personal account.

2.2 Account security

• You are responsible for keeping your password confidential.
• You may not share your account credentials with others.
• You must notify us immediately at office@1club.at if you suspect unauthorised access.

2.3 Guest mode

You may browse available games without an account ("guest mode"). Joining a game, creating a game, sending messages, and adding friends require a registered account.

2.4 Account termination

We may suspend or permanently terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent or abusive behaviour, or remain inactive for an extended period, with or without prior notice depending on the severity of the breach. You may delete your own account at any time via the app's Settings.

3. Games & Bookings

3.1 Creating a game

Any registered user may create a game ("Organizer"). As Organizer you:

• Must provide accurate information: sport, date, time, location, maximum number of players, and cost per player.
• Are responsible for securing the venue and ensuring it is suitable for the listed sport.
• Must honour confirmed bookings. Cancelling a game after players have paid obliges you to facilitate full refunds via the Platform.
• Must publish a realistic cancellation deadline. Players who cancel before that deadline are entitled to a refund of their payment (minus any non-waived service fee). Late cancellations follow section 5 (No-show policy).

3.2 Joining a game

• A booking is confirmed when payment is successfully processed (or when you confirm a cash-payment game).
• You may bring guests to a game if the Organizer allows it; the number of guest spots is set by the Organizer.
• If the game is full you may join the waiting list. You will be notified and offered a spot if a confirmed player cancels.

3.3 Cancellations & refunds

• Cancellations before the Organizer's stated deadline: full refund of the game cost. Service fees (if applicable) are non-refundable unless we determine the Organizer is at fault.
• Cancellations after the deadline or non-attendance: no refund. Repeated non-attendance triggers the no-show policy (section 5).
• If the Organizer cancels a game: all confirmed players receive a full refund including any service fees paid.
• Refunds are returned to the original payment method within 5–10 business days.

4. Payments & Fees

4.1 Payment methods

We support the following payment methods depending on the game's settings:

• Card payment (Visa, Mastercard, etc.) via Stripe
• Apple Pay via Stripe
• Cash at venue — collected by the Organizer on the day of the game
• External booking — the Organizer uses a third-party booking system; payment is handled outside the Platform

Card and Apple Pay transactions are processed by Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. under their own terms and are subject to Stripe's fraud controls. 1Club does not store card details.

4.2 Service fee

A platform service fee may apply to card and Apple Pay transactions. The fee amount is displayed before you confirm payment. During the launch period the service fee is currently waived; we will provide at least 14 days' notice before any fee is introduced or changed.

4.3 Free games

Organizers may list games as free. No payment information is required to book a free game.

5. No-Show Policy

Reliable attendance is essential to the 1Club community. If you confirm a booking and do not attend without cancelling in advance:

• The incident is recorded as a no-show against your account.
• After a first no-show, you receive a warning notification.
• Repeated no-shows may result in a temporary booking restriction, during which you cannot join new games. The restriction duration increases with each additional no-show.
• Restrictions are lifted automatically after the restriction period ends.

We review no-show records and may reverse a no-show if you provide a reasonable explanation (e.g. medical emergency) by contacting office@1club.at within 7 days.

6. Social Features

6.1 Friends

You can send and accept friend requests to connect with other players. Friends can see a fuller version of your profile. You can remove a friend at any time. Non-friends see only your display name, profile photo, city, and the number of friends you have.

6.2 In-app chat

Each game has a chat room visible to confirmed participants and the Organizer. Messages and image attachments sent in game chat must comply with section 7 (User conduct). We may review chat messages in response to reports of abuse.

6.3 Communities

Users can create and join Communities — groups of players around a shared interest, venue, or club. Community administrators set their own membership rules. 1Club is not responsible for the activities of individual communities, but we may remove communities that violate these Terms.

7. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, abuse, or discriminate against other users
• Impersonate another person or provide false registration information
• Create games or Communities with the intent to defraud participants
• Post, upload, or share illegal, obscene, or offensive content
• Use the Platform's messaging features for spam or unsolicited commercial communication
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, scrape, or interfere with the Platform's systems
• Create multiple accounts to circumvent a booking restriction or account ban

Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or permanent termination, and may be reported to law-enforcement authorities where appropriate.

8. Duties When Participating in a Game

In addition to the general conduct rules in section 7, by participating in any game or community activity organised through 1Club you commit to the following:

8.1 Self-assessment of health & fitness

You confirm that there are no medical reasons (e.g. pre-existing conditions, acute injuries) that would prevent you from participating in the chosen sport, and that you are physically able to perform the activity safely. Assessing your own health is your responsibility — consult a medical professional if needed. Neither the Organizer nor 1Club is obliged to verify your health status.

8.2 Sport-appropriate & safe equipment

You provide, at your own responsibility, the appropriate, safe equipment required for the sport (e.g. footwear, protective clothing, suitable sports gear). For sports where a helmet is customary or legally required (in particular cycling, mountain biking, skating, ice hockey), you wear a certified helmet.

8.3 Traffic, venue & house rules

You comply with all applicable traffic regulations (in particular the road-traffic code) as well as the house and venue rules of the relevant facility (gym, court, swimming pool, etc.) and any instructions of the responsible club or venue operator.

8.4 Instructions of Organizer or coaches

You follow the instructions of the Organizer or any person appointed by the Organizer (e.g. guide, coach, referee), insofar as these instructions serve safety or the orderly conduct of the activity. Repeated or serious breaches may lead to your exclusion from the activity by the Organizer.

8.5 Your own insurance

Participation in a game or community activity is offered without accident, liability, or health insurance provided by 1Club or the Organizer. You are responsible for arranging adequate accident and personal-liability insurance covering your participation in recreational sport. Any service or participation fee does not include insurance coverage.

8.6 Costs of emergency & rescue services

If emergency, rescue, mountain-rescue, fire-brigade, or other deployment services are required in connection with your participation, you bear the resulting costs yourself, to the extent that no insurance covers them. Neither 1Club nor the Organizer assumes such costs.

8.7 Photos & videos

During games and community activities, the Organizer or other participants may take photos and videos to capture impressions of the activity for the community (e.g. for posting in the game chat, in the Communities area of the app, or on the community's social-media channels). The legal basis is legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed, please tell the Organizer on site; your wish will be respected and any already-published images of you will be removed on request. You can also object to such processing at any time under Art. 21 GDPR (contact: privacy@1club.at). Images in which you are identifiable as the main subject may not be used for advertising purposes without your express consent.

8.8 Changes to route, venue, or schedule

The route, venue, time, or course of an activity may change from the original announcement due to unforeseen circumstances (e.g. weather, traffic, short-notice loss of the venue, regulatory orders). No claims for damages arise from such changes as long as the activity can still be carried out in a reasonable form; otherwise the cancellation rules under section 3.3 apply.

8.9 Voluntary participation & inherent risk

You participate voluntarily, on your own responsibility, and at your own risk. Sports — particularly in road traffic, in water, in the mountains, or in contact sports — involve typical risks (falls, collisions with other road users, fellow participants or obstacles, equipment failure, weather, terrain). You acknowledge these risks as inherent to the sport.

9. Liability & Disclaimers

1Club is a marketplace platform. We facilitate connections between players and Organizers but do not participate in, supervise, or control the games themselves. Accordingly, 1Club is not liable for:

• Personal injuries, accidents, or property damage occurring during a game or at a venue
• The suitability, safety, or legality of any venue chosen by an Organizer
• Disputes between users, including disputes between players and Organizers
• Last-minute cancellations or no-shows by other users
• Loss or theft of personal belongings
• Service interruptions due to force majeure, maintenance, or third-party failures

Participation in recreational sport involves inherent physical risk. By joining a game you acknowledge and accept that risk. You are solely responsible for ensuring you are physically fit to participate.

Material contractual duties (cardinal obligations): In cases of simple negligence we are only liable for breaches of material contractual duties — i.e. duties whose fulfilment is essential for the proper performance of the contract and on which you as a user may regularly rely. In such cases liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract.

Force majeure: We are not liable for service disruptions caused by force majeure. Force majeure includes in particular natural events, pandemics, regulatory orders, strikes, acts of war or terrorism, and disruptions to third-party telecommunications or energy networks. Our deadlines are extended for the duration of such impediments.

Service availability: We strive for the highest possible availability of the Platform but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance is announced in advance via the app or by e-mail where possible. Brief interruptions — for example to address security-relevant issues — are permitted.

Overall liability cap: To the maximum extent permitted by Austrian law, 1Club's total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the Platform is limited to the amount you paid to 1Club in the 12 months preceding the claim. This limitation does not apply to liability arising from gross negligence, wilful misconduct, personal injury, claims under the Austrian Product Liability Act, or mandatory consumer-protection rights under the Austrian Consumer Protection Act (KSchG).

10. Intellectual Property

The 1Club name, logo, app design, and all original content on the Platform are the intellectual property of 1Club or its licensors. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute our content without prior written permission.

By uploading a profile photo or chat image, you grant 1Club a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store and display that content solely to provide the Platform's features. You retain ownership of your content and may delete it at any time.

11. Privacy

How we handle your personal data is described in detail in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. For material changes we will notify you via push notification or in-app notice at least 14 days before the new Terms take effect. Your continued use of the Platform after that date constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept the updated Terms, you may delete your account before the effective date.

13. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by Austrian law, excluding its conflict-of-law rules. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) does not apply. Disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the competent courts of Wien (Vienna), Austria, unless mandatory consumer-protection law grants you the right to bring proceedings before the courts of your habitual residence.
