These terms are an agreement between you and [LEGAL NAME] ("RecHub", "we", "us"), which operates the RecHub website and apps. They apply whenever you use RecHub: to browse, book a court, register for a league, send a message, or list a venue or league.
Please read them. By creating an account or using RecHub, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use RecHub.
1. What RecHub is
RecHub helps people find places to play and leagues to join. It connects players with independent sports venues ("venues") that rent courts, fields and rinks, and with independent league organizers ("organizers").
RecHub does not own or run any venue or league. Each venue and organizer is responsible for its own facilities, activities, prices, rules and staff. When you book a court or join a league, your agreement for that activity is with the venue or organizer. RecHub provides the tools that make it happen.
RecHub is free for players. We don't take payments for bookings or leagues, and we don't charge you any fee.
2. Your account
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account.
Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
Keep your password safe. You are responsible for what happens under your account; tell us right away if you think someone else is using it.
One account per person. Don't create an account for someone else without their permission.
If you use RecHub for a venue or league, you confirm you are allowed to act for it.
3. Booking a court
When you book a court, you reserve that time with the venue. The price shown on the venue's page is set by the venue.
You pay the venue directly, under its own terms. RecHub does not take payment for court bookings and does not add a fee.
Cancellations, no-shows and refunds follow the venue's own rules. The app lets you cancel from My bookings up to 2 hours before the booking starts; whether a late cancellation or a no-show costs you anything is up to the venue.
A venue can cancel a booking on its own courts at any time. You'll see that it was cancelled by the venue. Anything owed back to you is between you and the venue.
Follow the venue's rules while you're there.
4. Leagues and registration
Some leagues on RecHub are listed from public information and are not run or verified by their organizer on RecHub. A league page with a "Verified organizer" badge is managed by its organizer. For other leagues, contact the league directly using the links on its page.
When you sign up for a league on RecHub:
You are registering with the organizer, and the organizer is responsible for the league: its schedule, teams, rules and the service it provides.
The league's price, how you pay it, and its cancellation and refund rules are set by the organizer. You pay the organizer directly; RecHub does not take your payment or add a fee.
A league may ask you to accept its waiver before you register. That waiver is between you and the league.
If something goes wrong with a league, contact the organizer first. If you can't resolve it, contact us and we'll try to help.
5. For venues and league organizers
If you list a venue or manage a league on RecHub, you also agree to the following:
Your listing is accurate and complete: address, photos, prices, hours, schedules and policies. Keep it up to date.
You are allowed to offer what you list, and you comply with the laws that apply to you, including taxes, permits, insurance and consumer protection.
You honour the bookings and registrations you accept, and you handle cancellations and refunds fairly and as your stated policies say.
You set your own prices, payment terms, and cancellation and refund rules, and you show them clearly to players. You collect payment yourself and are responsible for any taxes on it.
Venue listings and new leagues are reviewed by RecHub before they go live. We may decline, pause or remove a listing that breaks these terms or misleads players.
Sponsored placements are labelled "Sponsored".
6. Leagues listed from public information
To help players find leagues, RecHub may list a league using information the league has made public, such as its name, sport, city, schedule, prices and links.
If you run a listed league, you can claim it to manage its page. If you'd rather it not be listed, use "Request removal" on the league's page or contact us, and we'll review your request promptly.
7. Messages
Players can message a venue's owner or a league's organizer through RecHub. Messages are for questions about bookings, leagues and play.
Be respectful. Don't send spam, harassment, threats or unsolicited ads.
Don't send payment card numbers or passwords in messages.
Only the two people in a conversation can see it. We don't read your messages, except where needed to investigate a report of abuse, protect someone's safety, or comply with the law.
We may email you when you have an unread message. These emails don't include the message itself.
8. What you post
You keep ownership of the photos, descriptions, messages and other content you add to RecHub. You give RecHub a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, adapt (for example, resize) and share that content to run and promote RecHub, for as long as it is on RecHub.
Only post content you have the right to post. Don't post anything illegal, misleading, hateful, or that infringes someone else's rights.
League organizers and scorekeepers enter results and stats for the games you play. They appear on the league's pages and on your player profile. If one is wrong, ask the organizer to correct it.
If you add someone to a team who isn't on RecHub yet, you confirm that they agreed to it and that the name and email you give are theirs.
9. Using RecHub fairly
Don't:
create fake bookings, listings, registrations or reviews, or pretend to be someone else;
try to get into accounts, data or parts of RecHub you're not allowed to;
copy RecHub's content or data in bulk, including with bots or scrapers;
interfere with how RecHub works, or overload it;
use RecHub to discriminate against anyone or to break the law.
10. Sports and safety
Sports involve physical activity and a risk of injury. Play within your abilities, follow the rules of the venue and the league, and check with a doctor if you're unsure whether an activity is right for you.
RecHub does not supervise games or activities and is not responsible for the condition of venues or how leagues are run. Venues and organizers are responsible for their facilities and activities.
11. Changes to RecHub and to these terms
RecHub is growing, and we may add, change or remove features.
If we change these terms, we'll tell you at least 30 days before the change takes effect, by email and on RecHub. The notice will show the new or changed clauses, how they read before, and the date they take effect. You can refuse the change by closing your account before then, at no cost.
12. Our responsibility
We work to keep RecHub accurate and available, but it may sometimes be unavailable or contain mistakes, including in information provided by venues and organizers.
To the extent the law allows, RecHub is not responsible for what venues, organizers or other users do or fail to do, including their facilities, activities, prices and refunds.
Nothing in these terms limits our liability for bodily or moral injury caused to you by our fault, or for damage caused by our intentional or gross fault, and nothing limits the rights you have as a consumer under Quebec's Consumer Protection Act or other laws that protect you.
13. Closing your account
You can stop using RecHub and ask us to close your account at any time.
We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or is used fraudulently. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you why first and give you a chance to respond. Bookings and registrations you already made stay between you and the venue or organizer.
14. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use it, and your rights, including under Quebec's privacy law.
15. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec and the federal laws of Canada that apply there.
If a dispute arises, please contact us first; most problems can be solved quickly. Otherwise, the courts of the judicial district of Montreal have jurisdiction, except where the law gives you the right to go to the courts of the district where you live. Nothing in these terms stops you from taking part in a class action.
16. Language
These terms are available in French and in English, and both versions have the same force. Les présentes conditions sont offertes en français et en anglais.
17. The RecHub app for iPhone
If you got the RecHub app from Apple's App Store, these terms also include the following:
These terms are between you and RecHub, not Apple. RecHub, not Apple, is responsible for the app and its content.
You may use the app on Apple devices you own or control, as Apple's App Store terms allow.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. For help, contact us.
If the app fails to meet a warranty that applies by law, you can notify Apple, and Apple may refund the price you paid for the app, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
RecHub, not Apple, is responsible for handling any claim about the app, including product liability, a failure to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection or privacy laws, or a claim that the app infringes someone's intellectual property.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a Canadian or U.S. government embargo, and not on a government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you as they relate to the app.
