Backcourt Player
Backcourt Player
These Terms and Conditions ('Terms') govern your use of the BackCourtPlayer mobile application and any related websites, features, or services (collectively, the 'App'). The App is operated by Aakash Verma, operating as BackCourtPlayer (ABN 25 448 126 206) ('we', 'us', 'our').
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the App.
You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
The App is designed primarily for users in Australia. If you use the App from another country, you're responsible for complying with local laws.
You agree that all information you provide when creating your account is true, accurate, current, and complete, and that you'll keep it updated.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials (email, password, and any linked sign-in providers such as Google or Apple). You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
Notify us immediately at app.support@backcourtplayer.com.au if you suspect unauthorised use of your account.
You may sign in using:
We may terminate or suspend accounts that provide false information, are used for illegal purposes, or violate these Terms.
The Free Player tier is available at no cost. As a Free Player you can:
The Free Player tier includes usage limits (for example, a limit on how many socials you can own and on members and events per social); these limits are enforced in-app and may change. The Free Player tier is provided 'as is'. We reserve the right to introduce reasonable usage limits to prevent abuse of the service.
To create and manage socials beyond the free limits, you must subscribe to the Pro Organiser plan.
Payment is processed by the platform through which you subscribe — Apple App Store billing on iOS, or Google Play billing on Android. Subscription state is managed via RevenueCat. We do not directly process your subscription payments. All subscription billing, refunds, and payment methods are handled by Apple or Google under their respective terms.
We may offer free trial periods with subscription plans. The trial length shown to you at the time of subscription is what applies. During our launch period a longer introductory trial may be offered; after the launch window ends a standard trial may apply instead. Trials are subject to eligibility rules set by Apple and Google (typically one trial per Apple ID / Google account per product group).
If you don't cancel before the trial ends, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the applicable rate.
Your subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google account at the start of each new billing period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID subscription settings (iOS) or Google Play subscription settings (Android).
Cancelling does not immediately remove access — you keep Pro features until the end of your current paid billing period. When your Pro subscription lapses (expires without renewal), your account reverts to the Free Player tier and Pro-only capabilities are disabled, including:
Socials you own above the free limit are locked (shown read-only / flagged as over your plan limit). Members can still see them, but you cannot manage them with Pro-only tools until you resubscribe. Your existing socials and their events are not deleted — if you resubscribe later, the lapse-locked socials are automatically restored. Your Player-tier features (joining socials, RSVPing, event history) remain available at no cost. We may extend the period during which certain features remain available at our discretion, particularly during grace periods for failed billing.
Refund requests for App Store or Google Play subscription payments must be made through Apple or Google directly. We cannot process refunds for platform-billed subscriptions on your behalf. For any Founder-tier or promotional entitlement issues, please contact us at app.support@backcourtplayer.com.au. Nothing in this section limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including your right to a refund if the App is faulty or does not meet consumer guarantees.
Founder status is granted at our discretion to select early supporters and is subject to these additional terms:
We may change subscription prices from time to time. Where required by law, we will give you reasonable notice of any price change. Continued use of the subscription after a price change indicates acceptance of the new price.
You retain ownership of any content you post to the App — including social descriptions, event descriptions, photos, messages, and profile information ('Your Content'). By posting Your Content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, modify (only for formatting purposes), publish, and display Your Content solely to operate, promote, and improve the App.
You are responsible for Your Content and warrant that you own it or have all rights necessary to grant us this licence; that it doesn't infringe anyone's rights or violate any law or these Terms; and that it's not misleading, defamatory, obscene, discriminatory, harassing, or hateful. We may remove Your Content at any time without notice if we reasonably believe it violates these Terms or is harmful to other users.
You agree not to:
We may suspend or terminate accounts that engage in prohibited conduct without notice.
BackCourtPlayer is a platform that connects players and organisers. When you attend an event booked through the App:
We are not responsible for injuries, losses, or disputes arising at or from real-world events.
The App may introduce in-app payment processing in a future release. Today, the App only displays payment details that an Organiser enters (such as a PayID or bank/account details) so members can pay the Organiser directly — it does not process payments. When in-app processing launches, additional terms specific to payment processing will apply and will be presented to you at the time of enabling payments, platform fees may apply, Organisers accepting payments will be required to complete additional identity verification and provide bank account details for payouts, and refunds and disputes will follow the payment processor's dispute resolution process. This section will be updated when the feature launches.
The App relies on third-party services to function, including Firebase (Google) for authentication, database, storage, messaging/notifications and crash reporting; Google Maps for venue mapping and location services; the Apple App Store and Google Play for subscription billing; RevenueCat for subscription state management; and Sign in with Google / Sign in with Apple as authentication providers. Your use of these third-party services is subject to their own terms. We are not responsible for their availability, functionality, or the way they handle your data.
The BackCourtPlayer name, logo, app interface, and all associated design elements are our property (or licensed to us) and protected by copyright and trademark law. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the App for its intended purpose. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App without our express written permission.
Our collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the App, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the App is provided 'as is' and 'as available' without warranties of any kind, express or implied; we do not guarantee the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or harmful components; we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any content on the App; and we do not guarantee that any specific event, social, or user meets your expectations.
Australian Consumer Law: Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy conferred by the Australian Consumer Law or any other applicable law that cannot be lawfully excluded. Where applicable, our liability for failure to comply with a consumer guarantee is limited (at our option) to replacing or repairing the goods or supplying equivalent goods, refunding the price paid, or resupplying the services or paying the cost of having the services resupplied.
To the maximum extent permitted by law (and subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law), we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or use; our total liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App, in any 12-month period, will not exceed the greater of AUD $100 or the amount you paid us for subscriptions in that period; and we are not liable for the acts or omissions of other users, Organisers, venues, or third-party services.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Aakash Verma (operating as BackCourtPlayer) and his contractors from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the App, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law or the rights of any third party, Your Content, or events you organise or attend.
By you: You may stop using the App at any time. You may delete your account by going to Profile → Settings → Delete my account. When you delete your account, the App marks your account as deleted and removes it from active use; disables the socials you own (and cancels their upcoming events); removes you from socials you are a member of; and withdraws you from events you had joined. You will lose access to the account. Some records may be retained where required for legal, security, or legitimate business purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy.
By us: We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms, engaged in prohibited conduct, or if we are required to do so by law.
Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any subscription payments except as required by law.
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you via the App or by email at least 14 days before the changes take effect, and update the 'Last updated' date at the top of these Terms. Continued use of the App after the effective date of the updated Terms indicates your acceptance. If you don't agree with the updated Terms, you must stop using the App.
These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the courts competent to hear appeals from those courts. Before commencing formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at app.support@backcourtplayer.com.au and give us a reasonable opportunity to resolve the dispute in good faith. Nothing in this section prevents you from pursuing a matter through relevant consumer protection agencies (such as the ACCC or state consumer affairs bodies).
If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing to be effective.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published in the App, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding your use of the App.
