1. Purpose and Acceptance

These Terms of Service govern access to and use of the Kinetik platform (the “Platform”), a SaaS (Software as a Service) sports management tool available in mobile (iOS/Android) and web (PWA) formats. The Platform is owned and operated by Ignacio González Valero (“the Owner”).

Downloading, installing, or accessing the Platform, as well as creating a user account, constitutes your full and unconditional acceptance of these Terms. If you do not accept these terms, do not use the Platform.

2. Service Description

Kinetik is a comprehensive sports management platform designed for coaches, technical staff, and players. It enables:

  • Roster and team management

  • Real-time statistics capture and analysis (during live matches)
  • Call list (convocation) and attendance tracking
  • Digital tactical boards
  • Profile management and physical availability data
  • Performance and workload monitoring
  • Multi-sport and multi-language support (Spanish, Catalan, English)

The Platform operates online via Internet connection. Although we implement limited offline synchronization, the full experience requires network connectivity.

3. Registration, Users, and Roles

3.1 Registration Requirements

To use the Platform, you must:

  • Be at least 14 years old. If you are younger than 14, you require explicit parental/guardian authorization.
  • Provide truthful, accurate, and complete information.
  • Maintain the confidentiality of your access credentials.
  • Immediately notify us of any unauthorized access.

3.2 Roles and Responsibilities

The Platform implements a role-based system with differentiated permissions:

Coach (COACH)

  • Team owner (Owner).
  • Responsible for subscription payment (license).
  • Full permissions: create/edit/delete teams, rosters, events, and call lists.
  • Staff and permissions management.
  • Match finalization and statistics capture.

Assistant/Delegate (DELEGATE)

  • Technical assistant invited by the coach.
  • Limited permissions: create/edit events, call lists, and view statistics.

Player (PLAYER)

  • User invited to the team (via QR code or invitation).
  • Read-only access to their profile, calendar, and call lists.
  • Can confirm/decline call lists.
  • Limited access to statistics (based on team permissions).

The Coach is responsible for ensuring all players under 14 years old invited to their team have prior parental authorization.

4. Licenses and Subscription Model

4.1 License Types

The Platform operates under a per-team license model. Three types exist:

Trial License (TRIAL)

  • Duration: 14 days from first account creation.
  • Cost: Free.
  • Features: Full read and write access during the period.
  • Limit: Upon expiry, the team enters read-only mode until acquiring a license.

Promotional License (PROMO)

4.2 Payment Model

  • Team and licence ownership: The team owner (Team Owner) is the Coach or, where applicable, the club or responsible entity that has purchased and sustains the licence. That natural or legal person is the one who subscribes, who maintains the commercial relationship with Kinetik and who makes decisions about the team (staff, invitations, cancellation).
