Welcome to Sporvio ("Service"). The Service is operated by 1001588189 Ontario Inc. (operating as Sporvio) ("we", "us", "our"), incorporated in Ontario, Canada. By registering or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

Electronic acceptance. You accept these Terms by an affirmative action during registration (for example, tapping 'I agree'/'Create account'). You consent to enter into this agreement electronically, and you agree that your electronic acceptance has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature. We may keep a record of your acceptance.

2. Eligibility and Account Registration

You must be at least 13 years old (US/Canada) or the minimum age in your country to register.
If you are at least 13 but under the age of majority in your province or country (18 in Ontario), you may use the Service only if your parent or legal guardian agrees to these Terms on your behalf and accepts responsibility for your use. By allowing you to register, your parent/guardian is deemed to accept these Terms. We may, but are not required to, take steps to verify guardian consent.
You must provide accurate registration information.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for activity under it.
Each user may register one account.

3. Objectionable Content, User Conduct, and Safety

Sporvio has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive behavior. By using the Service you agree not to post or transmit objectionable content (including harassment, hate speech, sexual or pornographic content, threats, violence, or fraud), and you agree that any user who does may be removed without notice.

You may not:

Post illegal or objectionable content (pornography, violence, hate speech, incitement, etc.).
Harass, stalk, bully, or threaten others.
Post false information or commit fraud.
Impersonate others.
Upload viruses or malicious code.
Use the Service for gambling or pyramid schemes.
Post commercial advertising without our written permission.
Bypass the Service's security restrictions, scrape the Service, or access it through unauthorized automated means.

Reporting and blocking. You can report objectionable content or users via the in-app Report function (available on posts, comments, messages, and profiles), and you can block any user via the Block function.

Our commitment to act. When you report objectionable content or abusive behavior, we will review the report and, where warranted, remove the content and remove or ban the responsible user within 24 hours. You may also contact us at admin@sporvio.com.

Enforcement. For violations, we may remove content, suspend or permanently ban accounts, and report to authorities.

4. License to Use the Service

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, scrape, or use automated means to access the Service; resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service; or remove any proprietary notices.

5. User Content

Content you post (avatar, nickname, posts, comments, messages, photos) is owned by you.
You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, display, distribute, and reformat your content as needed to operate and provide the Service.
You warrant that your content does not infringe others' rights and complies with these Terms.
We may (but are not obligated to) review and remove violating or objectionable content.

6. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, or other feedback about the Service, you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use that feedback for any purpose without any obligation to you.

7. Copyright / DMCA Notice-and-Takedown

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to valid notices of alleged infringement.

To submit a notice: Email admin@sporvio.com with: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (3) identification of the material you claim is infringing and its location on the Service; (4) your contact information; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and you are authorized to act for the rights holder.
Counter-notification: If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification with equivalent information to the same address.
Repeat infringers: We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

8. Clubs / Events / Balance

Clubs are created by users; we do not operate them.
Club organizers are responsible for their clubs and events.
Event fees are private transactions between organizers and members. Sporvio does not collect, store, process, or transfer funds. Any "club balance" is a bookkeeping ledger only; any real money changes hands privately between members and organizers off-platform.
Any financial disputes must be resolved between users; Sporvio is not liable.
Assumption of risk (sports and physical activities). Events and activities discovered or organized through the Service involve physical sport and carry inherent risks of injury. Sporvio is a platform that helps users find and organize activities; it does not host, supervise, coach, or control any event. You participate voluntarily and at your own risk, and to the maximum extent permitted by law you assume all such risks and release Sporvio from liability for any injury, loss, or damage arising from participation. Organizers are responsible for the safety of their events and for any required insurance or participant waivers.
Secondhand marketplace (peer-to-peer). The Service includes a marketplace where users may list and discover used equipment (e.g. badminton rackets). All listings, descriptions, photos, prices, and communications are created by users. Sporvio is not a party to, and does not broker, any transaction; we do not own, inspect, verify, guarantee, or take possession of any listed item, and we do not process payments. Buyers and sellers transact directly and off-platform, at their own risk, and are solely responsible for the item's condition, authenticity, legality, pricing, delivery, taxes, and any after-sale issue. You must own (or be authorized to sell) what you list and have the right to transfer it. You must not list prohibited items, including but not limited to: counterfeit, stolen, recalled, or unsafe goods; weapons; or anything whose sale is restricted by law. We may remove listings and suspend accounts that violate these rules, but we have no obligation to monitor. Any dispute arising from a sale is solely between the buyer and seller; Sporvio is not liable and is not responsible for resolving it.
Event cancellation & refunds. Because event fees are private off-platform transactions (above), each event organizer sets and is responsible for that event's cancellation, no-show, and refund terms, which they should communicate to participants. Sporvio does not set, collect, hold, or refund event fees, and any "club balance" ledger adjustment on a cancellation reflects only the organizer's off-platform settlement. If an event is cancelled, refund eligibility and amount are determined by the organizer and applicable consumer-protection law; participants and organizers must resolve any refund dispute between themselves. Where mandatory consumer-protection law (including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, 2002) grants you non-waivable cancellation or refund rights, nothing here limits those rights.

9. Intellectual Property

Sporvio's branding, UI design, and source code belong to us. No unauthorized copying or commercial use.

10. Account Deletion, Service Changes, and Termination

You can permanently delete your account and personal data from within the app (Me → Settings → Account → Delete account). This is a full account deletion, not a deactivation; on deletion we delete or anonymize your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law, for fraud/abuse prevention, to resolve disputes or enforce these Terms, or in routine backups (purged on the backup cycle). Content others have already received (for example, messages in their inbox) or aggregated/anonymized data may persist.
You can also request account and data deletion without the app by emailing admin@sporvio.com, or via the account-deletion page at https://www.sporvio.com/delete-account. We verify your identity against the account on file before deleting.
We may modify, suspend, or terminate the Service, or your access to it, at any time, including for violations of these Terms.
Notice and appeal. Except where prohibited by law, where we suspend or terminate your account for a violation we will, where reasonably practicable, notify you of the reason. If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you may appeal by emailing admin@sporvio.com within 30 days, and we will review and respond.
Material changes to these Terms will be notified via in-app notice or email.
Effect of termination: Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including User Content license, Feedback, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Indemnification, Governing Law, and the General provisions — survive termination.

11. Disclaimer

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We do not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free availability or the accuracy of user content.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the last 12 months (if any). We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Subject to the foregoing, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, our aggregate liability is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) CAD $100.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 1001588189 Ontario Inc. (operating as Sporvio) and its affiliates, officers, and agents from any third-party claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your content, your use of the Service, or your violation of these Terms or the rights of others, except to the extent the claim arises from our own negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of these Terms. This indemnity does not apply where prohibited by applicable consumer-protection law.

14. Apple App Store (Additional Terms for iOS Users)

These additional terms apply when you access the Service through an app obtained from the Apple App Store. In the event of any conflict with the rest of these Terms, this section governs for iOS use:

These Terms are an agreement between you and 1001588189 Ontario Inc. (operating as Sporvio) only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content.
Sporvio (1001588189 Ontario Inc.) is solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support services for the app as may be required under applicable law or as we choose to offer. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support. Direct any maintenance or support questions to admin@sporvio.com.
Apple is not responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied. To the extent any warranty applies, Sporvio (not Apple) is responsible for addressing any warranty claims; if the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any), and Apple has no other warranty obligation.
Sporvio (not Apple) is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims that the app infringes any intellectual property rights.
You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and, upon your acceptance, have the right to enforce these Terms against you.
You agree to comply with all applicable third-party terms (including the App Store Terms of Service) when using the Service.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Disputes shall first be addressed by good-faith negotiation; if unresolved, they shall be submitted to the courts located in Ontario, Canada, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Before filing any claim, you agree to send a written notice of dispute to admin@sporvio.com describing the nature and basis of the claim and the relief sought, and to allow 30 days for good-faith resolution.

These Terms do not contain an arbitration clause or a class-action waiver; disputes are resolved in court. This court-only approach is a deliberate choice and not an oversight. Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes any rights or remedies you have under applicable consumer-protection law that cannot be limited or excluded by contract (including, for Ontario residents, the Consumer Protection Act, 2002). Where any provision conflicts with such mandatory law, that law prevails to the extent of the conflict.

16. General

Severability: If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in full effect.
Entire Agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements.
No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.
Assignment: We may assign these Terms (for example, on incorporation or a corporate reorganization); you may not assign them without our consent.
Force Majeure: We are not liable for failures or delays caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
Privacy: Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms.
Survival: The sections listed in "Effect of termination" survive termination.
