Terms of Service

1. Scope

These Terms of Service apply to the use of the LongestRally website and all tournaments organized through it. The platform is operated by Nikita Pashkov, Oranienburger Str. 70, 10117 Berlin, Germany. By registering an account, you accept these terms in full.

2. Registration

You must provide accurate and complete information when creating your account. Each person may register only one account. Your account is personal and non-transferable. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.

3. Tournament Participation

By enrolling in a tournament, you commit to participate on the scheduled date and time. Participants must comply with the Tournament Rules and the rules of the venue where the tournament takes place.

By enrolling, you confirm that you are in good physical health and fit to participate in competitive tennis. If you have any medical conditions that could be affected by physical exercise, consult a physician before participating.

4. Physical Activity & Liability

Tennis involves inherent risks of physical injury including but not limited to muscle strains, sprains, falls, and impacts from balls or rackets. By enrolling in a tournament, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

To the extent permitted by German law (§ 276 BGB), the organizer's liability for damages arising from simple negligence is excluded, unless such damages involve injury to life, body, or health.

Participants are strongly advised to have adequate personal accident insurance and third-party liability insurance (Haftpflichtversicherung).

5. Entry Fees & Payment

Each tournament has an entry fee displayed on its tournament page. All prices are in euros. Payment is collected separately — the tournament director will send you payment details by email after you enroll. No online payment is required at the time of enrollment.

6. Cancellation & Refunds

• More than 72 hours before the scheduled tournament start: contact the tournament director to cancel and arrange a full refund.
• 72 hours or less before the scheduled tournament start: you may still cancel your enrollment, but the entry fee is not refundable.
• Organizer cancellation: if the organizer cancels a tournament (e.g. insufficient participants, weather), all entry fees are refunded in full.

No-shows without prior cancellation may affect your ability to enroll in future tournaments at the organizer's discretion.

7. Public Display of Names

By accepting these terms, you consent to the following public display of your name:

• Your full name appears on tournament participant lists, visible to all website visitors.
• Your name appears on the public rankings page — abbreviated for logged-out visitors (e.g. "Nikita P.") and in full for logged-in users.

You may withdraw this consent at any time by deleting your account. Note that withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that occurred before the withdrawal.

8. Code of Conduct

All participants must adhere to the Tournament Rules, including the code of conduct section. Fair play and sportsmanship are expected at all times. The tournament organizer may disqualify participants who violate the code of conduct.

9. Photos & Media

By accepting these Terms, you consent to photographs and videos taken at LongestRally tournaments being published on this website and associated social media channels (e.g. Instagram). The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw this consent at any time by contacting napashkov@gmail.com. Withdrawal does not affect photos published before the date of withdrawal. No photos will be published that demean or unfairly portray participants.

10. Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms with reasonable advance notice. Material changes will be communicated via the email address associated with your account. Continued use of the platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

11. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. The exclusive place of jurisdiction is Berlin, Germany, to the extent permitted by law.

12. Dispute Resolution

The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution (ODR) platform: https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

We are not obligated and not willing to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
