Terms and Conditions of Use

This is an English translation provided for your convenience. The Spanish-language version of these documents is the original and legally binding text. In the event of any conflict, inconsistency, or discrepancy between this translation and the Spanish original, the Spanish version shall prevail and govern.

Last updated: September 4, 2026

1. Purpose of the Service

CourtBit is a technology intermediation platform that connects padel event organizers with players. CourtBit facilitates event discovery, registration, payment processing, viewing brackets and schedules, entering results, and tracking rankings.

CourtBit is NOT an event organizer, sports club, or tournament promoter. The contractual relationship for the sports service is directly between the player and the organizer.

2. Registration and Account

To use CourtBit you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of your parent or legal guardian.
  • Provide truthful and up-to-date information.
  • Keep your login credentials confidential.
  • Maintain only one account per person.

CourtBit may suspend or cancel duplicate accounts or accounts containing false information.

3. Use of the Platform

By using CourtBit, you agree to:

  • Not use the platform for fraudulent or illegal activities.
  • Not impersonate another user.
  • Not manipulate rankings, results, or statistics.
  • Maintain respectful conduct toward other users and organizers.
  • Report match results honestly.

CourtBit reserves the right to suspend or cancel accounts that violate these terms.

4. Payments and Fees

Registration payments are processed through the payment provider each organizer has chosen: Stripe Connect or MercadoPago. Only one provider is active per organizer, and the applicable provider is identified at checkout before you confirm your payment.

  • Organizer verification: CourtBit verifies organizers' identity before allowing them to receive payments through the platform. This verification is carried out by the relevant payment provider: Stripe Connect's identity and bank account verification, or the verification MercadoPago has already performed on the account the organizer connects.
  • Platform fee: CourtBit charges a fee of 5% on the registration amount. This fee is paid by the player and is displayed transparently at checkout.
  • Payment methods: Credit and debit cards.
  • VAT: CourtBit's fee includes VAT (IVA). The total amount is itemized at checkout in accordance with Article 7 BIS of the Federal Consumer Protection Law (Ley Federal de Protección al Consumidor).
  • Payment providers: Depending on the provider the organizer uses, payments are subject to the Stripe Terms of Service or the MercadoPago Terms and Conditions. In both cases your card details are entered in forms served by the provider itself: CourtBit never receives or stores credit card data.

5. Refund and Cancellation Policy

Important: The platform fee that CourtBit charges the player is generally non-refundable, as it corresponds to the technology intermediation service rendered. However, in cases where the event is canceled by the organizer before it begins, CourtBit will evaluate refunding the fee on a case-by-case basis.

  • Registration payments to the organizer: These are subject to the organizer's refund policies and to the terms of the payment provider used (Stripe Terms of Service or MercadoPago Terms and Conditions). The organizer must publish its refund policy before the player completes registration.
  • Event cancellation by the organizer: Refunding the registration fee is the organizer's responsibility. CourtBit will make reasonable efforts to facilitate communication and the refund process.
  • Unreachable organizer: In exceptional cases where the organizer is unreachable for more than 15 business days after a refund request, CourtBit will evaluate the possibility of processing the refund directly to the player.
  • Voluntary player withdrawal: Refunds are at the organizer's discretion, in accordance with its own policies.
  • Payment disputes: The player may contact contacto@courtbit.com.mx. CourtBit will respond within a maximum of 10 business days and will mediate in good faith between the parties.
  • Consumer rights: In accordance with the Federal Consumer Protection Law, the player may file complaints with PROFECO.

See our Refund and Cancellation Policy for more details.

6. Intellectual Property

The app's content (design, code, the CourtBit brand) is the property of CourtBit. Results, rankings, and statistics data generated by users are the property of the corresponding organizer, licensed to CourtBit for display on the platform.

7. Limitation of Liability

CourtBit is a technology intermediary. It is not responsible for:

  • The quality, safety, or conduct of sporting events.
  • Injuries, damages, or losses occurring during events.
  • Cancellations, schedule changes, or venue changes made by the organizer.
  • Third-party failures (Stripe, MercadoPago, internet providers, the App Store, Google Play).

CourtBit's maximum liability is limited to the amount of fees charged to the player over the preceding 12 months. CourtBit does not guarantee uninterrupted service availability.

8. Changes to These Terms

CourtBit may modify these terms by notifying users at least 15 days in advance via email or in-app notification. Continued use of the platform after such notice constitutes acceptance of the new terms. Previous versions of these terms are available upon request at contacto@courtbit.com.mx.

9. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of Mexico. For any dispute, the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico. The player may turn to PROFECO to resolve consumer-related disputes.

Organizers (B2B)

Terms of Service for Organizers

Last updated: September 4, 2026

1. Purpose of the Agreement

CourtBit provides a SaaS platform for managing padel tournaments, leagues, rankings, payments, and registrations.

The organizer is solely responsible for the organization, execution, and quality of the sporting events.

2. Plans and Pricing

PlanMonthly price (MXN)Player fee
Enterprise (single Competencias plan)$1,4995%
  • Prices are in Mexican pesos (MXN) and do not include VAT (IVA) unless stated otherwise.
  • CourtBit reserves the right to modify prices by giving 30 days' notice.
  • Custom plans are available on request.

3. Subscriptions and Billing

  • The CourtBit subscription is billed monthly through Stripe, regardless of which provider the organizer uses to charge its own players.
  • CourtBit will issue a CFDI (electronic invoice) for each subscription payment.
  • In case of non-payment, CourtBit may suspend the service after 7 days past due.
  • Cancellation: The organizer may cancel at any time. There are no minimum-term contracts. If canceled mid-month, the organizer retains access until the end of the paid period.

4. Platform Fees

  • CourtBit charges a fee on registration payments made through the app (5%).
  • The fee is paid by the player, not the organizer.
  • The payment provider's processing fees (Stripe or MercadoPago) are deducted from the payment to the organizer according to that provider's current rates. CourtBit neither sets nor receives those fees.
  • Payments made outside the app (cash, direct bank transfer) do not generate a CourtBit fee.

4.1. Payment Provider and Verification

  • Choice of provider: The organizer chooses which provider it uses to charge its players: Stripe or MercadoPago. Only one provider can be active at a time; the organizer may switch from its dashboard, and the change applies only to subsequent charges.
  • Identity verification: With Stripe, the organizer must complete Stripe Connect's identity and bank account verification. With MercadoPago, the organizer connects its own MercadoPago account, previously verified by MercadoPago, and authorizes CourtBit to create charges on its behalf through that connection.
  • Where the funds go: Charges are deposited directly into the account the organizer holds with the chosen provider. The contractual relationship for the processing service is between the organizer and that provider; CourtBit does not hold, custody, or manage those funds.
  • Applicable terms: Use of each provider is governed by its own terms: Stripe Terms of Service and MercadoPago Terms and Conditions.
  • Revocation: If the organizer disconnects or loses access to its account with the provider, CourtBit will no longer be able to create online charges for its events until the connection is restored or another provider is selected.

5. Organizer's Obligations

  • Complete and keep current the identity verification required by CourtBit and by its payment provider (Stripe Connect or MercadoPago), and keep that account connection active for as long as it receives payments through the platform.

  • Handle player refunds in accordance with its own policies and applicable law.

This policy applies to all payments processed through the CourtBit platform, including tournament and league registrations as well as organizer subscriptions.

2. CourtBit Fees (Players)

The platform fee that CourtBit charges the player (5%) is generally non-refundable.

The fee corresponds to the technology intermediation service, which is considered rendered once the registration transaction is completed. In the case of voluntary withdrawal by the player, the fee is non-refundable. However, if the event is canceled by the organizer before it begins, CourtBit will evaluate refunding the fee on a case-by-case basis.

3. Event Registrations (Payments to the Organizer)

Registration payments are processed through the payment provider the organizer has chosen (Stripe Connect or MercadoPago) and are subject to:

  1. Each organizer's own refund policies, which the organizer must communicate to players before registration.
  2. The terms of the payment provider used: Stripe Terms of Service or MercadoPago Terms and Conditions, as applicable.

Registration funds are transferred directly to the organizer through the relevant payment provider. CourtBit does not hold or manage registration funds. In the event of disputes, CourtBit may assist as a mediator between the player and the organizer.

  • If an organizer cancels an event, it is responsible for managing refunds to registered players.
  • CourtBit will notify players of the cancellation through the app.
  • CourtBit will work with the organizer to facilitate the refund process through the relevant payment provider.

5. Organizer Subscriptions

  • Subscriptions may be canceled at any time without penalty.
  • No refunds are issued for partial periods. Upon cancellation, the organizer retains access until the end of the current billing period.
  • CourtBit subscription payments are processed with Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Terms of Service.
  • CourtBit will issue the corresponding CFDI for each charge made.

6. Disputes and Chargebacks

  • If a player initiates a chargeback with their bank or card issuer, the payment provider that processed the transaction (Stripe or MercadoPago) will handle the dispute according to its procedures.
  • CourtBit will provide transaction evidence to the payment provider for the dispute process.
  • Organizers agree to cooperate by providing the information necessary to resolve disputes.

7. Process for Requesting a Refund

  1. The player contacts the organizer directly (contact details available in the app).
  2. If there is no response within 5 business days, the player may escalate to contacto@courtbit.com.mx.
  3. CourtBit will respond within a maximum of 10 business days and will mediate between the parties to facilitate the refund process through the payment provider if the organizer authorizes it.
  4. If the organizer is unreachable for more than 15 business days, CourtBit will evaluate the possibility of processing the refund directly.

Cookie and Local Storage Policy

Last updated: August 31, 2026

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser to remember information about your visit. Local storage (localStorage) is a similar technology that allows data to be saved directly in your browser more efficiently.

In this policy, we transparently explain what storage technologies CourtBit uses, what we use them for, and how you can manage them.

2. Data Controller

  • Name: Saúl Ulises Urías Guzmán
  • Address: Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico
  • Contact: contacto@courtbit.com.mx

The complete registered address is available upon formal request at contacto@courtbit.com.mx.

3. Technologies We Use

Transparency: The courtbit.com.mx website uses Google Analytics 4 to measure, in aggregate, how many people visit the site and which pages they view. We do not use advertising pixels (Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads), we do not run retargeting, and we do not sell data to third parties. On pages where a payment is made, the payment provider SDK (Stripe or MercadoPago) is also loaded, which is required to process the charge securely.

3.1 Local storage (localStorage) — only on pages with sign-in

KeyPurposeDurationType

3.3 Third-party cookies — not currently used

CourtBit does not currently use:

  • Marketing or retargeting pixels (Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads)
  • Advertising-tracking cookies, and we do not sell data to third parties
  • Individual user profiling for advertising purposes

The payment cookies set by Stripe and MercadoPago are necessary to process the charge and prevent fraud: without them, card payment is not possible.

If CourtBit implements any of these technologies in the future, this policy will be updated and your consent will be requested before activating them.

4. How to Manage These Technologies

4.1 From your browser

You can delete or block cookies and local storage data from your browser settings:

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies — Google's guide
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy — Apple's guide
  • Firefox: Settings > Privacy — Mozilla's guide
  • Edge: Settings > Cookies — Microsoft's guide

Note: If you delete local storage data, you will be signed out and will need to sign in again.

5. International Data Transfer

Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Formspree, and Stripe process data in the United States. MercadoPago processes it in Mexico through the Mercado Libre group entities. For more information about international transfers, see our Comprehensive Privacy Notice.

6. Updates to This Policy

CourtBit may update this policy to reflect changes in the technologies used or in applicable law. The last-updated date is shown at the top of this document. Previous versions are available upon request at contacto@courtbit.com.mx.

7. Legal Basis

The local storage used by CourtBit is strictly necessary for the platform to function (sign-in and navigation). Under the principles of the NLFPDPPP (2025), its use is based on the legitimate interest of the data controller. If analytics or marketing technologies are implemented in the future, the user's consent will be requested.
