Terms of Service (TOS) – Spieltag Studio
As of November 2025
1. Scope
These Terms of Service ("TOS") govern the use of the Spieltag Studio platform (hereinafter "Platform"), operated by Martin Scholtissek / Spieltag.Studio, Pfortgasse 6 - 61191 Rosbach v.d.H., contact@spieltag.studio. The Platform is intended for registered users, in particular clubs, teams, and their members. Deviating terms of the user do not apply unless the provider expressly agrees to their validity.
2. Subject Matter
Through the platform, users can create, manage, and share digital content (e.g., matchday graphics, social media posts). The provider offers various subscription packages (Free, Pro, Premium, Premium Plus) with different features. Details about the included features and design templates for each package can be found in the current service description on the platform (see Pricing).
3. Registration & User Account
Use requires registration with correct and complete information. Users are obliged to keep their login details confidential and protect them from third-party access. User accounts may only be used for the user's own club or organization, unless the provider explicitly agrees to other use. Users are obliged to promptly update changes to their contact information and provide the technical requirements (e.g., compatible browsers, internet access) for using the Platform.
4. Services & Use
The Platform may only be used within the scope of the provided functionalities. Users agree not to upload content that violates applicable law, the rights of third parties, or these TOS. The provider is entitled to block, remove, or deactivate user accounts if a violation occurs. The provider may adjust, expand, or restrict functionalities at any time, as long as this is reasonable for the user.
5. Subscriptions, Prices & Payment Terms
The prices stated apply to paid packages. Payments are processed via the payment provider Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland). Subscriptions automatically renew for the agreed billing period unless cancelled in due time. Trial periods may be offered; after their expiry, the subscription automatically converts into a paid package unless the user cancels in time. Where legally provided, consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal. This right may expire if the user expressly agrees that the contract is executed immediately. If the user is in default of payment, the provider is entitled to block access to the Platform, charge reminder fees, and demand default interest in accordance with statutory provisions.
6. Changes to the Terms
The provider may amend these TOS as necessary (e.g., due to legal changes, technical adjustments, or service expansion). Users will be informed of changes in an appropriate manner (e.g., email, in-app notification). If the user does not object within 30 days, the changes are deemed accepted. In the case of material changes, users have a special right of termination.
7. Content Rights
All rights to the Platform remain with the provider. Users retain rights to their uploaded content (e.g., logos, images, texts). The user grants the provider a non-exclusive, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable right to store, technically process, and provide content within the Platform while the user account is active. If the user activates the option to "share data with the community," other users may use certain content (e.g., logos, club names, addresses) within the Platform. The user guarantees that they have the necessary rights to all uploaded content.
8. Indemnification
The user shall indemnify the provider against any third-party claims arising from unlawful use of the Platform or uploaded content, to the extent that the user is responsible.
9. Availability & Liability
The provider strives for uninterrupted availability. Specific availability is not guaranteed. The provider is fully liable in cases of intent and gross negligence. In cases of slight negligence, the provider is only liable for breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), limited to foreseeable, typical damage. Liability for data loss is excluded, unless the user has ensured adequate data backup themselves. Statutory mandatory claims, in particular under the Product Liability Act or for injury to life, body, or health, remain unaffected.
10. Privacy
The handling of personal data is governed by the privacy policy, which is accessible on the Platform. The provider processes data only within the framework of applicable data protection laws (in particular GDPR).
11. Term & Cancellation
Free user accounts may be cancelled at any time without notice. Paid subscriptions automatically renew for the agreed billing period. Users may cancel a subscription at any time to take effect at the end of the current billing period. After the billing period ends, the subscription will not be renewed and no further payments will be charged. The provider may suspend or terminate the user account in the event of a material breach of these TOS. Upon termination of the contract, user data may be deleted or restricted.
12. Survival of Certain Provisions
Upon termination of the contract, the provisions on content rights, indemnification, liability limitations, cooperation obligations, and final provisions remain effective.
13. Assignment
The provider is entitled to transfer rights and obligations from this contract wholly or partially to third parties, provided no substantial disadvantage arises for the user. Assignment by the user is excluded.
14. Communications
Communications under this contract may be made electronically to the email address provided by the user or within the Platform. They are deemed delivered at the time of receipt.
15. Dispute Resolution
The EU Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR): https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. The provider is neither obliged nor willing to participate in a dispute resolution procedure before a consumer arbitration board.
16. Final Provisions
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG). If the user is a consumer, the statutory place of jurisdiction applies. If the user is a merchant or acts on behalf of an organization, the place of jurisdiction is the provider's registered office. Should any provision of these TOS be invalid, the validity of the remaining provisions shall remain unaffected.
17. Processing of Player and Team Data
(1) Users (e.g., club members, team managers, or other authorized persons) may enter personal data of players within the platform, including names, jersey numbers, positions, and optional photos. These data are processed solely for the purpose of creating digital lineups and social media graphics. (2) The provider processes these data as a data processor on behalf of the respective club in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Responsibility for the lawful collection and processing of data, including any required consent from affected players (e.g., for the use of photos), lies with the respective club or the person authorized by the club. (3) The data will not be shared with third parties except for technical subprocessors required for the operation of the platform (e.g., Supabase, Render.com). These subprocessors are bound by corresponding data processing agreements (DPAs) and process data solely in accordance with the provider’s instructions. (4) The stored data can be edited or deleted by the user at any time. After termination of the contractual relationship, the data will be deleted unless legal retention obligations apply.
