Participation terms for the free partner matching service

Last updated: 28 October 2026.

Provider and scope

The provider is David Schmidt, David Schmidt Tennis, Heiliggeiststr. 2a, 80331 Munich. Contact: davidschtennis@outlook.com, telephone 0151 43223714.

The matching service shows suitable tennis and padel players in Starnberg based on sport, playing level, venue and age group. No fixed date is required for searching. General time preferences are optional and only affect the order of suitable groups; they do not exclude groups. Registration and matching are free. No subscription or paid training is ordered. Court hire and other venue costs are agreed separately and directly with the venue. Matching is neither a court booking nor on-court supervision.

Account and participation

Each account represents exactly one player. The tennis and padel profiles belong to the same person. Use a first name or nickname as the display name, your own accessible email address and accurate information about playing level and age group. You may add general time preferences voluntarily and change them when necessary. Protect your password and do not share it with other participants.

Successful email confirmation and acceptance of these terms establish the free participation agreement with the player. For minors, an adult authorised to act as legal representative acts on the child’s behalf. Existing accounts retain their password and WordPress permissions.

Adults confirm that they are participating at age 18 or over. Minors may participate only through an account managed by an adult authorised legal representative using that adult’s own email address. This person declares that any required consent from other persons with parental responsibility has been obtained. They confirm the dates and arrange accompaniment by a person with parental responsibility. The website provides no supervision. The venue’s own rules on minimum age, access and accompaniment must also be observed.

The age groups are: under 10, ages 10–13, ages 14–17 and adults aged 18 or over. Matching takes place only within the same group. Age and representation details rely on declarations by the person managing the account; email confirmation is not an identity or parenthood check. Update the age group when moving to the next group, particularly on reaching adulthood, using “Change participation details”. Changes require a new email confirmation and cancel existing active proposals. Any external court reservation must be cancelled separately.

Game proposals and confirmations

Tennis singles involves two players; padel involves four. After searching for partners, a participant can propose a specific venue and date on the website. Everyone involved must explicitly confirm it. A profile or time preference does not constitute confirmation. For minors, the adult managing the account acts on their behalf. A proposal that has not been fully answered expires after no more than 24 hours or at the start of the game.

Only after everyone has confirmed does the person who sent the current date proposal reserve the court directly with the venue. For a child’s profile, the adult managing the account does this. Clarify availability, how costs will be shared and the venue’s cancellation terms. The reservation is then reported in the game proposal. The website displays this report as information supplied by the person who sent that proposal; the venue does not independently confirm it to the website.

If no court is available or another date is preferred, any participant may propose a new option for the same group while the website offers this option for that proposal. This closes the previous proposal. Everyone must confirm the new option again; earlier confirmations are not carried over. Cancelling on the website does not cancel a booking with the venue. Any adult managing a participating account may cancel the arranged game; check its status in good time. David has a private administration overview and can cancel active proposals. He cannot replace a participant’s consent.

The service has no chat and does not show email addresses or phone numbers to other participants. For questions about matching or a reservation, contact davidschtennis@outlook.com. Share sensitive information and children’s data only to the extent necessary for the specific question.

Use and ending participation

There is no entitlement to suitable players or available courts at all times. Check the current status on the website. Notifications may be delayed or arrive in the spam folder; delivery of an email does not replace checking the status.

Behave respectfully. Do not use someone else’s contact details, misleading information or particularly sensitive information in free-text fields. Contact the provider in case of problems or misuse.

You may end participation free of charge at any time by emailing davidschtennis@outlook.com and request deletion of your matching data. Affected active proposals will be closed. You must also cancel any venue reservations yourself. Deleting an existing WordPress account is a separate process; specify whether you wish to close the entire account or only end participation in matching.

Information about data processing, retention periods and your rights is provided in the supplementary privacy information for the partner matching service and David Schmidt Tennis’s general privacy policy.

A simple explanation for children

Your parent or legal representative sets up the account and reads the messages. Other players see your first name or nickname, playing level and the agreed date. They are not shown your parent’s name or your email address. You receive proposals only from your own age group. Your parent confirms the dates and arranges someone to accompany you. If something is not right, discuss it together and cancel in good time.
