4.3 Right of Withdrawal, Cancellation and Refunds (EU Consumers)

Under Articles 102–108 of the Spanish General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users (TRLGDCU) and Directive 2011/83/EU, EU consumers have the right to withdraw from a Premium subscription within fourteen (14) calendar days from the date the contract is concluded, without giving any reason and without penalty. To exercise this right, send a clear statement to support@matchsport.org; you may use the model withdrawal form provided in Annex B of TRLGDCU.

If you start using the Premium service (for example, by sending a Super Like, unlocking "who liked you" or using Play Now) before the 14-day period expires, you expressly request immediate performance and acknowledge that you will lose the right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed, in accordance with Art. 103.m TRLGDCU. If you withdraw during the 14-day window before fully consuming the service, you will be charged only the proportional amount corresponding to the part of the service already provided.

Outside the withdrawal period, you can cancel auto-renewal at any time in Settings → Subscription. Access continues until the end of the current billing period. Refunds for technical errors, duplicate charges, accidental purchases or service failures can be requested at support@matchsport.org and will be processed using the same payment method within fourteen (14) days. These rights are without prejudice to the statutory two-year legal guarantee of conformity (Arts. 114–127 TRLGDCU).

MatchSport is NOT responsible for the behavior of other users, offensive or illegal user content, physical/emotional/financial damages from interactions, data loss, scams, or service interruptions.

7.3 Damages Limit

For users acting as consumers in the European Union, nothing in these Terms limits or excludes MatchSport's liability for fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, personal injury, death, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under mandatory consumer protection law (in particular Arts. 82–90 and 147 TRLGDCU). Outside those cases, and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, MatchSport's aggregate liability for direct damages arising from the Premium subscription is limited to the amount actually paid by the user during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

7.4 Safety Warnings

Verify identity before sharing personal info, meet in public places, inform trusted persons of your plans, never share financial information, and report suspicious behavior.

8.Applicable Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by Spanish law. For users acting as consumers, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory rules of the law of the country where you have your habitual residence (Art. 6 Rome I Regulation).

Jurisdiction for consumers: in accordance with Articles 17–19 of the Brussels I bis Regulation (EU 1215/2012), consumer users may bring proceedings against MatchSport either before the courts of Madrid (Spain) or before the courts of the EU Member State where the consumer is domiciled. MatchSport may only sue a consumer before the courts of the consumer's domicile. For users not acting as consumers, the courts of Madrid have exclusive jurisdiction.

Out-of-court resolution: before initiating court proceedings, we encourage you to contact support@matchsport.org so we can try to resolve the issue amicably. EU consumers may also use the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr and lodge a complaint with the consumer authorities of their place of residence or with the Dirección General de Consumo of the Community of Madrid.

Arbitration: arbitration is entirely voluntary for consumers and only applies if both parties specifically agree in writing after the dispute has arisen. No clause of these Terms forces consumers to waive class actions or collective redress rights granted by Directive (EU) 2020/1828.

8.bisDigital Services Act (DSA) Information

In compliance with Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act), MatchSport designates the following single point of contact for authorities and recipients of the service: support@matchsport.org. Notices may be submitted in Spanish or English.

Notice and action: any user or third party may notify allegedly illegal content via support@matchsport.org or via the in-app "Report" button. Notifications must identify the content, its location, the reasons it is considered illegal, and the contact details of the notifier. We acknowledge receipt, take a decision without undue delay and inform both the notifier and the affected user of the decision and the available redress mechanisms, including internal complaint handling, out-of-court dispute settlement bodies and judicial remedies.

Transparency: MatchSport publishes an annual transparency report covering moderation actions, orders received from Member State authorities and the average monthly active recipients of the service in the Union, in accordance with Arts. 15 and 24 DSA.
