These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Pay to Play mobile application (“the App”) operated by Spirited Technologies Pty Ltd (ABN 40 693 422 721), trading as Pay to Play (“we”, “us”, “our”).
By creating an account or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the App.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms within the App or by other reasonable means. Your continued use of the App after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
You may create an account using Google sign-in, Apple sign-in, or SMS/phone authentication. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
Each individual may maintain only one account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate duplicate accounts.
We may suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or misuse the App. You may delete your account at any time through the App’s settings.
Pay to Play is a platform for organising group activities with integrated payment splitting. The App facilitates connections between session organisers and participants but is not itself the organiser, venue operator, or provider of any activity.
Session organisers can create sessions by specifying details including sport type, venue, date and time, maximum player count, pricing model, and cancellation cutoff. All sessions require a minimum price of $1.00 AUD.
Participants can join sessions via a shared link or from within the App. When you join a session, a pre-authorisation (hold) is placed on your payment method for the estimated cost. You are not charged until the session organiser completes the session.
A platform service fee is applied to each payment. The applicable fee rate is displayed before you confirm joining a session.
If a session is full, you may join the waitlist. When a spot becomes available, the next person on the waitlist receives a time-limited offer to claim the spot. The offer duration is set by the session organiser. If the offer is not accepted within the specified time, it passes to the next person on the waitlist.
After the activity takes place, the session organiser completes the session. At this point, pre-authorised payments are captured (charged) and funds are transferred to the organiser’s connected Stripe account, minus the platform fee.
All payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. You must add a valid payment method (credit or debit card) to join paid sessions. By adding a payment method, you authorise us to initiate pre-authorisations and charges via Stripe on your behalf.
When you join a session, a pre-authorisation hold is placed on your payment method. This hold reserves the funds but does not charge you. The hold may appear as a pending transaction on your bank statement. Pre-authorisations are captured when the session is completed, or released if you cancel before the cancellation cutoff or are removed from the session.
For sessions scheduled more than 3 days in advance, the pre-authorisation may be deferred. The hold will be placed automatically within 3 days of the session’s scheduled time. You must ensure your payment method remains valid and has sufficient funds.
All amounts within the App are displayed and processed in Australian Dollars (AUD).
Session organisers receive payments directly into their Stripe Connect account. Organisers are responsible for completing Stripe’s identity verification (KYC) requirements. We are not responsible for delays caused by Stripe’s verification process.
Each session has a cancellation cutoff set by the organiser (e.g. 24 hours before the session). This is displayed when you join the session.
If you cancel your attendance before the cancellation cutoff, your pre-authorisation hold will be released and you will not be charged.
If you cancel after the cancellation cutoff, you will still be charged your share when the session is completed. This policy exists to protect the group from bearing the cost of late cancellations.
If the session organiser cancels the session, all pre-authorisation holds are released and no participants are charged. The organiser is exempt from post-cutoff charges as they are the payment recipient.
If you believe a charge was made in error, please contact us at the email address listed below. We will review the matter and, where appropriate, facilitate a refund. For disputes related to Stripe transactions, Stripe’s dispute resolution process may also apply.
If you create a session as an organiser, you agree to:
You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for the activity you organise. Pay to Play is a facilitation platform and does not assume liability for any session, venue, injury, or dispute between participants.
