1. Introduction. This Agreement sets out your rights and obligations, and those of squashpal.com ("Squash Pal", "we" or "us"), in relation to this site and the services offered by Squash Pal through it (the "Squash Pal Service"). You must take the time to read and understand it, before registering for the Squash Pal Service. By registering, you accept that you are entering into a contract with us on the terms of this Agreement. Visitors to the Squash Pal Service who do not register to become a Member (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the Squash Pal Service. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 23 below.

2. Types of membership. People who register for the Squash Pal Service become "Members". The Membership divides between those who decide to pay the fee we charge to become what we call a "Gold Member", and those who do not ("Standard Members").

Standard Members:

- may post their name in the squash clubs/centres and squash associations that appear on the Squash Pal Service;

- may receive emailed messages, which will be sent to the email address contained in your member profile (which are provided during Registration and may be updated subsequently), notifying them of contacts sent by Gold Members; and

- Will receive newsletters by email they opt to receive during the Registration process (as added to, or de-selected, subsequently); each email will give the Member an opportunity to opt-out of receiving future emails of that type.

In addition, Gold Members may:

- input an unlimited amount of unadministrated results against Gold or Standard Members;

- attain an unadministrated world ranking;

- attain an unadministrated club/association ranking;

- send an unlimited amount of e-mails to any Gold or Standard Member; and

- edit their 'Special Skills' and become listed as a coach, racket re-stringer or referee in our 'Find a ...' section;

We are not an internet service provider, however. In order to avail of the Squash Pal Service, you must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage.

3. Important Note: Gold Membership. If you decide to become a Gold Member, and therefore pay our Full Membership fee, you are agreeing to take the Gold Membership we make available to you promptly after that fee is paid. This means that you do not have the right to cancel your Full Membership during the cooling-off period which is provided for certain purchases under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.

The Gold Membership fee will be communicated to you when you sign up for Gold Membership.

Your Gold Membership fee will continue to be automatically taken until you cancel your subscription. But please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the fee for Gold Membership, the period which it covers, the services which it enables you to obtain and other factors from time to time. However, these changes, unless they are changes under Clause 8 or Clause 9 below, will not affect your then-current Gold Membership.

4. Registration. You undertake to register for the Squash Pal Service using accurate and current information about yourself - including your correct name, e-mail address and any other requested details. You also undertake only to add yourself to a squash club/centre or squash association on the Squash Pal Service which were a member at the relevant time. If you are asked for, and provide, details of a credit, debit or charge card; in that event, you must ensure that (a) you are fully entitled to use that card, and (b) it has available funds sufficient to cover the charges which are deducted from it. As part of the registration process for the Squash Pal Service, you will receive a verification email, the purpose of which is to take reasonable steps to ensure that the email address you have nominated during registration is controlled by you. That email contains simple instructions which you must follow.

5. Privacy policy. Squash Pal's Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data as detailed in that policy. Given the global nature of the World Wide Web, any posting on the Squash Pal Service (including any which contain personal information) is, of course, accessible to internet users around the world.

Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with.
