Terms of Service

These terms are the agreement between you and the people who run Badie (“Badie”, “we”, “us”). By creating an account or using Badie you agree to them and to the Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use Badie.

Who can use Badie

• You must be at least 13. If you are under 18, you need permission from a parent or guardian, who is responsible for your use.
• One person, one account. Give accurate information and keep your password to yourself.

What Badie is, and isn’t

• Badie helps players find each other and courts. We don’t run venues, organize or supervise games, or check players’ identities.
• Levels are chosen by players themselves unless marked as verified. Reliability, reviews and results come from players.
• Court details come from open data and from players and can be out of date. Check opening hours and fees with the venue.

Playing safely

• Badminton is physical. Play within your limits and warm up.
• Meet at public venues, keep conversations in Badie, and report anyone who makes you feel unsafe.
• You are responsible for your own conduct, health and belongings at games. Badie is not responsible for what happens at games or between players.

Costs

Badie is free to use. Court fees are paid between players and venues. Badie doesn’t handle payments; the cost split and “paid” marks are only there to help you keep track. We may ask for donations or show ads in the future. If we ever add paid features, we will tell you before you are charged anything.

Community rules

• Be respectful. No harassment, hate, threats or sexual content.
• Show up when you commit, and cancel as early as you can if plans change.
• Choose your level honestly and report results honestly.
• No spam or advertising, and no phone numbers, links or other contact details in your nickname or profile.
• Don’t pretend to be someone else, create fake accounts, or misuse other players’ information.
• Don’t scrape, overload, attack or try to get around the security of Badie.
• Follow the law and each venue’s rules.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post: your nickname, photo, messages, reviews and the court details you add. You give Badie permission to store, show and use it to run Badie. Court details you add may stay in the directory after you delete your account. Only post things you have the right to share.

Moderation

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. Offensive words are filtered automatically: names that contain them can’t be saved, and they’re replaced with *** in messages and notes. You can report a player from their profile and block anyone at any time. We review reports within 24 hours, remove content that breaks these terms, and suspend or delete the accounts that posted it. We may also limit features for accounts that put other players at risk. Reliability and reviews can affect who you are matched with.

Ending your account

You can delete your account at any time in Settings. We may change, pause or stop offering Badie or any part of it.

Disclaimers and liability

• Badie is provided “as is”, to the fullest extent the law allows. We don’t promise that you will find a game, or that Badie will always be available or free of errors.
• To the fullest extent the law allows, Badie and the people who run it are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for anything that happens at games or between players. Where liability can’t be excluded, our total liability is limited to US$50.
• Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection laws that can’t be waived.

Changes

We may update these terms. We will change the date above and let you know in the app about meaningful changes. If you keep using Badie after that, the new terms apply.
