In this document, the following terms have the meanings set out below:
2.1. By creating an Account, or by accessing or using the Services, the User confirms that they have read, understood and unequivocally accepted these Terms and Conditions, together with the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy.
2.2. If the User does not agree with these Terms, they are prohibited from using the Platform and must delete any existing Account.
2.3. The Operator reserves the right to amend these Terms at any time. Amendments will be notified by updating the date above. Continued use of the Platform after the amendments have been published constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.
2.4. The Platform is intended exclusively for persons aged at least 16. By accepting these Terms, the User warrants that they are at least 16 years old. Persons aged between 16 and 18 may use the Platform only with the prior consent of their parents or legal guardian.
3.1. For full access to the Services, the User must create an Account by providing true, accurate, complete and up-to-date information: full name, active email address, phone number, district (raion)/country, gender, date of birth and playing position.
3.2. The User is solely responsible for the security of their credentials and for all activities carried out through their Account. The Operator shall not be held liable for any loss or damage resulting from unauthorised use of the Account.
3.3. The User undertakes to notify the Operator immediately of any unauthorised use of their Account, at padel.moldova@gmail.com.
3.4. The Operator or the Federation may suspend, block or close the Account without prior notice in the event of a breach of these Terms, fraudulent activity, abusive behaviour towards other Users or any illegal activity.
3.5. A User may hold only one Account per email address. Creating multiple accounts in order to obtain unfair advantages is prohibited and may lead to the deletion of all associated accounts.
3.6. Account approval. Creating the Account does not mean automatic approval to take part in competitions. After sign-up, the profile is checked and approved by an administrator appointed by the Federation, mainly to confirm that the User holds a valid sports licence for the current competition year. Until approval, the Account remains pending.
4.1. Taking part in a tournament is conditional on the player’s profile being fully completed, on approval of the Account, on holding an active sports licence, on the absence of a Federation sanction barring participation and, where applicable, on payment of the entry fee set by the Federation. Registrations that do not meet these conditions remain on the waiting list until the situation is resolved.
4.2. The rankings and points displayed on the Platform are calculated automatically on the basis of the results validated by the Federation and of the points for external competitions entered by the Federation. The Operator does not guarantee that they always reflect the real-time situation of the competitions.
4.3. Withdrawing from a tournament after the registration has been confirmed may result in the total or partial loss of the entry fee, depending on the specific rules of the tournament.
4.4. The Circuit’s tournaments are created, organised and administered on the Platform exclusively by the Federation, through the persons it authorises. The Federation, as organiser, is responsible for the accuracy of the data entered and for managing the events, results, points and rankings. Sports clubs host the competitions, without administrative rights on the Platform.
4.5. Taking part in tournaments involves accepting sporting risks. The Operator recommends that all players hold appropriate sports insurance and is not liable for accidents or bodily injury occurring during competitions.
4.6. Image rights at tournaments and use in the media.
A. Players registered for tournaments. By creating an Account and by registering for any tournament listed on the Platform, the User gives their express consent that:
B. Spectators, companions and any other person present on site. The sports venues hosting the Circuit’s competitions are spaces open to the public on tournament days or in a promotional context. By physically entering the premises (courts, stands, courtside areas, café, reception, car park, ancillary areas) – regardless of whether or not the person is a registered User of the Platform or a registered player – any person present implicitly accepts that:
Persons who do not wish to appear in media materials are required to avoid the areas signposted as being filmed (usually the active court + the official prize-giving area) or to make themselves known to the photographer/videographer present. The Operator, the Federation and the host clubs make reasonable efforts to respect requests notified on site, but cannot guarantee retroactive exclusion from materials already published.
C. Minors. For participants and visitors under 16, consent to the use of their image for media purposes is given by a parent or legal guardian – either by accepting the Terms when signing up to the Platform on behalf of the minor, or through a form signed at the club entrance or when registering for the tournament.
4.7. Withdrawal of consent to the use of one’s image. The User may at any time withdraw their consent to future uses of their image by sending a written request to padel.moldova@gmail.com, marked “Withdrawal of image consent”. The withdrawal takes effect only for the future and does not affect:
Once the request has been registered, the Operator will make reasonable efforts to remove or anonymise the materials under its direct control (Platform + own channels) within a maximum of 30 days.
4.8. Entry fee and payment methods.
4.8.1. The entry fee is set by the Federation for each division of the tournament and is displayed before the registration is confirmed. Fees may differ from one division to another, and for some divisions or events the fee may be 0 lei.
4.8.2. The fee is paid to the Federation, as organiser, in cash or by bank transfer, to the account and following the payment instructions displayed by the Federation for the tournament concerned. Receipt is confirmed manually by the Federation, and the payment status is then updated on the Platform.
4.8.3. Online card payment is not currently available. Integration of a payment processor from the Republic of Moldova is planned; until it is put into operation, the Platform does not process payments and does not store card data. The conditions for online payment will be added to this section before it is activated.
4.8.3.1. Platform usage fee. As at the date of this version, the Operator charges no fee to players for using the Platform; its amount is 0 lei. The Operator reserves the right to introduce such a fee at a later date, in which case it will be displayed distinctly and in advance, separately from the entry fee, both at the time of payment and by updating this section. No fee may be charged retroactively for registrations already paid.
4.8.4. Where payment is mandatory to confirm participation, an unpaid registration remains on the waiting list, marked “Entry fee not paid”, until the Federation confirms the payment.
4.8.5. Division eligibility conditions. The Federation sets the divisions of each tournament and the conditions for taking part in them (for example gender, level or age). The decision on admission to a division rests with the Federation.
4.8.6. Limited places and waiting list. The number of pairs or participants admitted to a division is set by the Federation. Registrations above this limit are placed on the waiting list, ordered by the points in the division’s national ranking. In doubles, if one of the two players does not meet the participation conditions, the whole pair remains on hold. Paying the fee does not in itself guarantee inclusion in the draw.
4.9. Refund of the fee.
4.9.1. Where applicable, the entry fee is refunded directly by the Federation, in accordance with the competition regulations and by the same method by which it was paid (cash or bank transfer).
4.9.2. Complaints about the collection or refund of the fee should be addressed first of all to the Federation, as organiser, at padel.moldova@gmail.com. Users may, under the conditions laid down by law, contact the competent authorities of the Republic of Moldova.
