Terms of use
These terms apply to everyone who uses Bracketa (braketa.top). By creating a tournament or registering for one, you accept them. How we handle personal data is described in the privacy policy.
1. The service
Bracketa is an online tool for running tennis, padel and football tournaments: registration, draws and brackets, schedules, live scores and results. The service is run by Dmitrij Panasiuk, a private individual in Lithuania, contact tennis.tournamets@gmail.com.
The basic service is free. Some extra features, such as sponsor placements, are enabled on request and may have separate conditions agreed with you in advance.
2. Accounts
- Organizers sign in with a Google account. Participants do not need an account.
- Keep access to your Google account secure. You are responsible for what happens in your tournaments, including actions by co-organizers you add.
3. Organizers
When you run a tournament on Bracketa, you are the organizer of that event and you are responsible for it. In particular you:
- give accurate information about the tournament: place, time, rules and any entry fee;
- make sure you may publish participant names and results, and tell participants that the tournament runs on Bracketa;
- use participant contacts only to run the tournament, not for unrelated marketing;
- handle entry fees, prizes, refunds and disputes between participants yourself. Bracketa does not take payments and is not a party to the tournament;
- only upload sponsor logos and other materials you have the right to use.
4. Participants
- Give your real name and working contacts when you register.
- The organizer decides whether your registration is approved and runs the tournament. Questions about the event itself go to the organizer.
- You can ask the organizer or us to remove your registration.
5. Content
You keep the rights to the content you add. You allow us to store and show it as needed to run the service: for example, to display the bracket and results on the tournament page, in link previews and in search results for public tournaments.
6. Not allowed
- Breaking the law or other people's rights, publishing offensive or misleading content.
- Registering other people without their permission, or adding fake participants.
- Trying to break, overload or bypass the protection of the service, including guessing tournament passwords.
- Using the service to send spam or collect other users' data.
We may hide content or suspend access if these rules are broken, and will tell you why when possible.
7. Availability and liability
We work to keep Bracketa reliable, but it is provided "as is": short interruptions, errors and changes to features are possible. For important events, keep your own copy of key information such as the participant list.
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect losses or for the organization of the tournaments themselves. This does not limit liability for intentional misconduct or gross negligence, or any rights you have as a consumer under mandatory law.
8. Ending use
You can stop using Bracketa at any time and ask us to delete your account and data. We may stop offering the service; in that case we will give reasonable notice so that organizers can save their data.
9. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the service changes. The date of the latest version is shown at the top. If a change is significant, we will announce it on the site.
10. Law and disputes
These terms are governed by the law of the Republic of Lithuania. Please contact us first, and we will try to solve the issue. Disputes are handled by the courts of Lithuania, without limiting the consumer's right to go to the courts of their own country.
