BUDO.ASIA USER AGREEMENT

1. General provisions

This User Agreement governs access to and use of Budo.asia, a platform for organising and running sports competitions and for maintaining coach and club pages, schedules, events, entries, participant lists, photographs, brackets, scoreboards, results and other available functions.

The Portal is operated by Sole Proprietor “AQYLDY SHESHIMDER”. By using the Portal, registering or submitting data through it, the user acknowledges and accepts this Agreement and the Privacy Policy. A user who does not agree must stop using the Portal.

A person acting for a club, federation, sports school, team or organiser confirms that they have the required authority.

2. Account and security

Users must provide accurate and current registration details. Users are responsible for protecting access credentials and for activity through their account, except where caused by a security failure attributable to the Operator.

An account must not be shared with a person lacking authority to work with the relevant team, club or event. Suspected unauthorised access must be reported promptly to budo.asia@gmail.com.

The Operator may request proof of identity or authority, temporarily restrict access for a security review, or block an account for a material or repeated breach.

3. Portal functions and Operator’s role

The Portal provides technical tools for creating tournaments, registering athletes, forming categories and brackets, managing bouts and tatami, publishing schedules, results, ratings, photographs and streams, and maintaining coach and club pages.

The organiser independently determines event rules, eligibility, age and weight categories, documentation, fees, officiating, safety and protest procedures. The Operator is not the organiser of a particular event unless expressly stated otherwise.

Automated validation, draws, rating calculations, score displays and similar outputs are technical aids. The responsible event official must verify source data and final decisions.

4. Minors and third-party data

Where a coach, club, sports school, federation or organiser representative enters information about a minor, that person must first obtain valid consent from a parent or other legal representative for the collection, processing, storage, publication and every other processing operation actually performed, including photographs, participation details and results.

The person entering a minor’s data confirms a lawful basis and must provide evidence of consent at the Operator’s request. That person is responsible for entry without required consent, processing beyond its scope, inaccurate information and related third-party claims.

A minor registering independently must have parental or legal representative consent where required by law. The Operator may request evidence, restrict functions or remove the account and data until evidence is provided.

The Operator remains responsible for the security and lawfulness of processing it performs as owner and/or operator of the database and accepts requests to erase, correct or restrict processing.

5. User content and photographs

Users retain rights in their materials and grant the Operator a limited, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to store, technically reproduce, reformat and display them only as needed to provide selected Portal functions.

By uploading a photograph, logo, text or other material, the user warrants that they hold the necessary rights and consents from depicted persons. Illegal, abusive or discriminatory content, malware, spam, third-party personal data without a lawful basis, and content infringing third-party rights are prohibited.

The Operator may restrict disputed content during review and remove it where there is a lawful basis or a substantiated complaint.

6. Acceptable use

Users must not disrupt the Portal, bypass access controls, conduct unauthorised scanning, scrape data at scale, manipulate scores or results, impersonate another person or use the Portal unlawfully.

Public results, schedules and pages may be viewed and shared using ordinary Portal tools. Bulk copying, commercial resale of data or creation of a competing dataset without written permission is prohibited.

7. Future paid services

As of this revision, the Portal’s core functions are available without a separate fee. The Operator may later introduce paid event-management services, advanced functions, advertising placements and other commercial features.

Before ordering a paid service, the user will be shown its material terms, including scope, price and taxes, term, payment, cancellation and refund rules. Terms in a tariff, offer or order card become part of the contract upon acceptance.

Introducing paid services does not authorise automatic charges. Recurring payments require separate express consent and must be capable of being disabled as described at activation.

8. Advertising and external services

The Portal may contain advertising, sponsorship and links to external resources. Advertising will be labelled where and as required by Kazakhstan law. Advertisers are responsible for the content and accuracy of supplied advertising to the extent prescribed by law.

YouTube, Telegram and other external services may support streams and links. Their own terms and policies apply, and the Operator does not control their availability or independent data processing.

9. Intellectual property

The Portal code, design, Budo.asia identifiers, databases and Operator materials are protected by law. Users receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Portal for its intended purpose while the account remains active.

No exclusive rights are transferred. Use of trademarks, design or software components outside normal Portal operation requires written permission.

10. Availability and liability

The Operator seeks reliable operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability during maintenance, communication failures, external-service outages, force majeure or security threats. Reasonable advance notice of material planned work will be provided where practicable.

Users and organisers must maintain a reasonable fallback procedure and verify critical event data. The Operator is not responsible for sporting decisions, injuries, eligibility, officials’ actions, event cancellation or inaccurate user-supplied data.

The Portal is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator gives no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, error-free draws or calculations, preservation of a specific configuration, device compatibility, or commercial or sporting outcome.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Operator is not liable for lost profit, revenue, reputation, data or opportunity, indirect, incidental or consequential loss, or loss caused by users, organisers, officials, payment (including PayLink.kz), telecommunications or other external services.

Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability is limited to proven direct actual loss and, for a paid service, the amount actually paid to the Operator for that service during the preceding three months. For free use, the cap is KZT 10,000. The cap does not apply where prohibited by law, including wilful misconduct by the Operator, death or personal injury, or mandatory consumer rights.

A user, club, federation or organiser must resolve and, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify the Operator for documented loss and expense arising from third-party claims caused by data supplied by that party, missing consent, breach of event rules, content rights, law, payment-acceptance terms or this Agreement.

Liability is governed by Kazakhstan law. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or restricts mandatory consumer rights.

11. Termination and amendments

This Agreement applies from first use until account closure and completion of surviving obligations. A user may request account closure by email or through an available account function.

The Operator may update the Agreement for changes in law, functionality or business model. A new version is published with an effective date, and registered users receive reasonable notice of material changes by an available method.

Provisions on rights, liability, user content, payments and disputes survive where required.

12. Notices and disputes

Questions, infringement notices and claims should be sent to budo.asia@gmail.com. Account, event and authority details may be required to identify the request.

The parties will seek an amicable resolution. Unresolved disputes are governed by Kazakhstan law and heard by a competent court, subject to mandatory jurisdiction and consumer-protection rules.
