These terms apply to the OpenXI app and this website, operated by Marko Mikovic as an independent developer ("we", "us"). By creating an account you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use OpenXI.
You must be at least 13 years old. You must give a real name and a working phone number or email address, and keep them current. One account per person.
OpenXI is a tool for organising pickup soccer. We do not run the games, own the pitches, employ the organisers, or supervise what happens at them. A group's owner and admins set its rules, its fees and its refund policy, and decide who may join. Disputes about a game are between you and that group.
Football is a physical sport and you play at your own risk. Satisfy yourself that a venue is safe and that you are fit to play.
You agree not to:
We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Objectionable content is anything hateful or discriminatory, harassing or threatening, sexually explicit or obscene; anything that encourages violence or self-harm; anything illegal; and anything that gives out another person's private details without their consent. This applies to everything you put into OpenXI: the messages you send, your name and your photos, and the name, pictures and rules of a group you run.
Reporting. To report a message, press and hold it and choose Report. To report a person — an offensive photo, a name, or the way they behave — open their profile, tap the three dots at its top right and choose Report. You can also write to support@openxi.app. A report made in the app comes to us, not to the group's admins, and the person you report is never told who made it.
We review every report made in the app within 24 hours. Where content breaks these terms we remove it, and we may suspend or delete the account it came from. We tell you what we decided. If something of yours is removed, we tell you that it was and why. A message that three members have reported is hidden from everyone until we have reviewed it.
Blocking. To block a person, press and hold one of their messages and choose Block, or open their profile, tap the three dots at its top right and choose Block. You no longer see their chat messages or get notified of them, except an announcement they post to a group you are in. They are not told. You can unblock them in Profile → Privacy and sharing → Blocked users.
Words that cannot be sent. A message that contains a slur, or another term on our list of the worst words, is refused when you send it.
A group's owner and admins may remove a message from their own group's chats, and may remove or suspend you from their group. We may remove content, and suspend or delete an account, that breaks these terms. If you think a decision of ours was wrong, write to support@openxi.app.
Where a group charges for a game, you pay when you take your place on the roster. Card payments are processed by Stripe under its own terms; we do not see or store your card number.
The fee is set by the group, not by us. Whether a fee is returned when you leave a game depends on the refund rule the organiser set, which the app shows you before you confirm. Where we charge a service fee it is shown separately before you pay.
If a game is cancelled by its organiser, fees collected for it are returned to the players who paid them.
Photos and text you upload remain yours. You give us permission to store them and to show them to the people the app is meant to show them to — the members of your groups — for as long as your account exists. Delete the content, or your account, and that permission ends, with two exceptions. Messages you have sent stay in their chats after your account is deleted, shown as from a deleted user; delete a message yourself and its text is erased. And where content has been reported, we keep the copy held with the report for the time our privacy policy sets out.
OpenXI is provided as it is. We do not promise it will always be available or free of faults, and we may change or withdraw features. We will not be liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for anything that happens at a game. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You may delete your account at any time from Profile → Delete account. We may close an account that breaks these terms, and will tell you why unless the law prevents it.
If these terms change we will update the date above, and for a change that matters we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. Continuing to use OpenXI after that means you accept the change.
