Terms and Conditions

The terms on which Summit Badminton is made available to clubs, coaches, players and parents.

Last updated: June 2026 · Version 1.0

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the Summit Badminton platform at summitbadminton.com and any associated applications (together, the “Platform”). The Platform is operated by Deepdyve AI Technologies Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 16789770, whose registered office is at 71–75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ (“we”, “us”, “our”). You can contact us at info@summitbadminton.com.

By creating an account, ticking the acceptance box at sign-up, or otherwise using the Platform, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.

1. Who can use Summit

1.1 Accounts and roles

The Platform supports several roles: administrators, head coaches, coaches, players, and parents or guardians. Access is scoped to your club and your role. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential and for all activity that takes place under your account.

1.2 Children and young people

Summit is used by clubs that coach children and young people, including players under 16 and under 18. In the United Kingdom, the age of digital consent is 13. Where a player is under 13, a parent or guardian must register on their behalf, provide consent, and supervise the young person’s use of the Platform. For players aged 13 to 15, we apply the same parental-consent model as an additional safeguarding measure.

Direct coach-to-player communication for under-16 players is routed through a parent or guardian account as a platform-level control. Parents manage communication consent on a per-child basis and can revoke it at any time.

1.3 Account eligibility

By registering you confirm that the information you provide is accurate, that you are entitled to register in your stated role, and — if registering as a parent or guardian — that you have parental responsibility for the child or children you link to your account.

2. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

use the Platform for any unlawful, harmful, or abusive purpose;
post or send content that is defamatory, harassing, discriminatory, or that endangers a child;
attempt to access data or accounts you are not authorised to access, or to circumvent role-based permissions or safeguarding controls;
upload malware, scrape the Platform, or disrupt its operation; or
misuse the communications tools, including to bypass the under-16 parental-routing safeguards.

Coaches and administrators have moderation tools, including the ability to suspend communications and to escalate reported messages. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms or where we reasonably believe a safeguarding risk exists.

3. Player data, assessments and AI features

The Platform stores information about players, including profile data, training plans, attendance, assessment scores on the Summit Player Assessment Framework, and development goals.

Assessment scores and AI-generated overviews and training-plan suggestions are decision-support tools, not verdicts. A coach reviews, edits, and is accountable for every output. We do not guarantee that AI-generated content is accurate or suitable for any particular player or purpose, and it must not be relied upon as a substitute for professional coaching, medical, or safeguarding judgement.

How we handle personal data — including children’s data — is described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Club subscriptions and content

Where a club subscribes to Summit, the commercial terms — including fees, billing, contract term, and renewal — are set out in the club’s written agreement or order confirmation with us. In the event of any conflict between those commercial terms and these Terms, the written agreement or order confirmation prevails in relation to commercial matters.

Content you create on the Platform — such as training plans, session notes, and exercise library items — remains owned by you or your club. You grant us a limited licence to host, store, and process that content solely to provide and maintain the Platform.

5. Availability and changes

We aim to keep the Platform available and operational but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access. The Platform is hosted on third-party infrastructure, and we may carry out scheduled maintenance, deploy updates, or modify features from time to time. Where changes are material, we will give reasonable notice.

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be notified by email or by a notice within the Platform before they take effect. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

6. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Subject to the above, the Platform is provided “as is”. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all implied warranties, conditions, and representations. We are not liable for any indirect, consequential, special, or incidental loss or damage arising out of or in connection with your use of the Platform, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss.

Our total aggregate liability to you under or in connection with these Terms — whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise — is limited to the fees paid by your club to us in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

7. Termination

You may stop using the Platform at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms, if your club’s subscription ends or is terminated, or where suspension or termination is necessary to protect users — particularly children.

On termination, personal data is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and, where applicable, the club’s written agreement with us.

8. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or the Platform, save that we reserve the right to seek injunctive or other urgent relief in any competent court.
