Terms of Use

1. Scope

supodo is a platform for disability, inclusion and senior sport, made up of several services all operated by the same controller. This document applies to all supodo services. The individual services publish no legal notice and no privacy policy of their own but point to these pages instead.

Including:

• supodo landing page — Website
• supodo manager — Management console for clubs and events
• supodo app — Finding and following activities
• supodo link — Short links
• supodo auth — Sign-in and user accounts
• supodo mail — Newsletter sign-up and email delivery

Beyond these, this document applies to any further publicly offered supodo service reachable at supodo.com and its subdomains, or at supodo.link.

Internal test and development environments are not covered. Where they are publicly reachable, they publish their own details for that environment.

2. Account and registration

Some of the services require an account; publicly visible content can be viewed without one. Registration runs through supodo auth. Give accurate information when you sign up and keep it current. Your account is personal: do not share your credentials and keep them safe from third parties.

You can create an account yourself from the age of 16. Younger people need the consent of a parent or guardian. Where an organisation registers someone under 16 for an event, that organisation obtains the consent — not supodo, because in that case we never come into contact with the parent or guardian.

3. Permitted use and prohibited content

You are responsible for the content you post. Content that breaks the law or infringes other people's rights is prohibited.

Including:

• unlawful content — for example incitement to hatred, depictions of violence, symbols of unconstitutional organisations, or calls to commit criminal offences;
• infringing someone else's rights — copyright, trade marks and personality rights, and publishing other people's personal data without their agreement, particularly in photographs;
• impersonation — presenting yourself as another person, as an organisation, or as supodo itself;
• harassment and discrimination — insults, threats and demeaning content, in particular on the grounds of disability, origin, gender, religion, age or sexual orientation;
• spam, bulk advertising, and automated extraction of content outside the interfaces we expressly provide for it;
• attacks on the service — circumventing security measures, overloading systems, or distributing malware.

This list gives examples and is not exhaustive. What matters is whether content is unlawful or infringes the rights of others.

4. Usernames

You choose your own username when you register. It is visible to others across the supodo services.

A username must not, in particular:

• give the impression that you are another person, an organisation, or supodo itself;
• be insulting, discriminatory or offensive;
• carry someone else's trade mark, or an official or functional title you are not entitled to use;
• occupy a term reserved for operating the service.

The element “supodo” is blocked, including inside a longer name: “supodofan” and “teamsupodo” are refused for that reason. If you need a name with a brand reference for an organisation, please request it through the contact form.

If a username breaches these rules, we may change or block it. We will tell you by email and give the reason. We will hear you first, unless the name is manifestly unlawful or puts other people at risk.

Being renamed does not affect your account. Your data is linked internally to an immutable identifier, not to the username. You keep your organisations, events and permissions.

5. How we deal with reported content

Where content breaches these terms or the law, we may act. Which measure we choose depends on how serious the breach is.

The possible measures are:

• removing the content or no longer displaying it publicly;
• restricting its visibility — for example no longer listing an event publicly;
• suspending the account temporarily;
• closing the account permanently.

Every one of these decisions is taken by a person. We use no automated detection and no algorithmic decision-making for content — neither to find breaches nor to decide on them.

We review content when something is reported to us or comes to our attention. There is no general monitoring of all content, and none is required (Art. 8 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).

Where we take a measure, we give the affected person a statement of reasons and set out the redress available (Art. 17 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065).

6. Reporting illegal content and breaches of these terms

Any individual or organisation can report illegal content to us — and equally content that breaches these terms. No account is needed. Use our reporting form: Report illegal content or a breach of these terms.

If you leave us contact details, we confirm that your report has arrived. For reports about illegal content we then tell you our decision and the redress available to you; Art. 16 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 requires that of us. For reports that concern only these terms, that duty does not apply.

7. If you disagree with a decision

Contact us through the contact form or by email. Name the decision and say why you think it is wrong. A person will then look at the case again. At our size we do not operate a formal internal complaints procedure; recourse to the courts remains open to you at any time.

8. Ending and suspending an account

You can delete your account at any time and without giving a reason. There is no notice period.

If you breach these terms, we will first point that out and give you a reasonable period to put it right. Only then do we suspend or close the account.

We suspend immediately, without notice beforehand, only where the content is unlawful, where other people are put at risk, or where the same breach is repeated despite a warning.

What happens to your data after deletion, and how long we keep it, is set out in the privacy policy. privacy policy.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, and for damage arising from injury to life, body or health.

For ordinary negligence we are liable only where we breach a material contractual obligation — an obligation whose fulfilment makes proper use possible in the first place and on whose observance you may rely. In that case liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical of this kind of agreement.

Liability under the German Product Liability Act is unaffected.

Users and organisations are responsible for the content they post themselves. It is third-party content within the meaning of § 7 DDG in conjunction with Art. 6 of Regulation (EU) 2022/2065; supodo does not adopt it as its own.

supodo is provided free of charge. We do not promise any particular level of availability: maintenance, faults and further development can make individual functions temporarily unreachable.

10. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for instance when new functions are added or the law changes. For material changes we will inform you and ask for your agreement again. We do not treat your silence as agreement.

Every version carries a version number and a date — both are at the top of this page. Which version you accepted is stored with your account.

11. Governing law and jurisdiction

German law applies. If you are a consumer, this applies only in so far as it does not deprive you of the protection given to you by the mandatory rules of the country where you live (Art. 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation). As a consumer you may also bring proceedings where you live, and may be sued only there (Arts. 17 et seq. of the Brussels Ia Regulation).

If you are a merchant, a legal person under public law or a special fund under public law, the place of jurisdiction is the provider's seat.

12. Contact

The full provider details and every way of reaching us are set out in the legal notice.
