1. Who we are

CourtHop.org ("we", "us", "the Platform") operates a marketplace that connects pickleball players with facility owners across the Philippines. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data when you create an account and use our services.

2. Data we collect

  • Account data: your name, email address, and encrypted password.
  • Profile data: optional contact details and preferences you choose to share.
  • Booking data: courts, dates, times, and any notes you provide.
  • Technical data: IP address, device type, and browsing activity on the Platform.
  • Verification documents (facility hosts only): government ID, business registration, permits, and billing proof.

3. How we use your data

We use your personal data to operate the Platform, process bookings, verify facility hosts, prevent fraud, communicate service updates, and comply with Philippine law. We do not sell your data to third parties.

4. Legal basis

We process personal data based on your consent, the performance of our contract with you, our legitimate business interests, and our compliance obligations under Philippine law.

5. Sharing and disclosure

We share limited booking information with the facility you book. We may share data with service providers who help us operate the Platform (hosting, email delivery, payments) under strict confidentiality agreements. We may disclose data when required by law.

6. Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward to meet legal, tax, and audit obligations. Verification documents are retained for the minimum period required by law and securely deleted afterward.

7. Your rights

Under the Data Privacy Act of 2012, you have the right to be informed, to object, to access, to rectify, to erase or block, to damages, to file a complaint, and to data portability. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@courthop.org.

8. Security

We apply reasonable organizational and technical measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and audit logging. No system is completely secure; if a breach occurs, we will notify affected users and the National Privacy Commission as required by law.

CourtHop.org · Facility Host Terms

Host Agreement & Commission Policy

Effective date: September 1, 2026 · Version 2026-09

1. The agreement

This Host Agreement ("Agreement") is between you ("Host", "you") and CourtHop.org ("CourtHop", "we"). By creating a facility host account, you agree to the terms below.

2. What CourtHop provides

  • A public listing for your facility on the Platform.
  • Real-time booking management, calendar tools, and QR check-in.
  • Player communication and review features.
  • Facility verification review and badge.

3. Commission

CourtHop charges a flat commission per confirmed booking. a fixed peso amount, not a percentage of the booking subtotal. The current rate is shown at checkout before payment and on the booking confirmation. The commission is added on top of the court subtotal. You keep the full court subtotal; CourtHop collects the flat fee separately from the player. Commission is billed to you monthly via voucher, with each voucher itemizing the confirmed bookings it covers. The commission applied to a booking is locked at the time of confirmation — future changes to the flat rate apply only to new bookings. Reversals: if a confirmed booking is cancelled and the player is refunded, the corresponding commission is reversed and credited against your next voucher.

Commission is not charged on declined, cancelled, or refunded bookings. If a booking is completed and the player pays you directly, the commission is owed to CourtHop.

4. How payment flows

Players pay your facility directly using the payment details you provide (GCash, Maya, bank transfer, or QR code). CourtHop does not hold, process, or intermediate any player payments to your facility.

You are solely responsible for receiving, reconciling, and refunding any payments made by players. CourtHop is not a party to the payment transaction between you and the player.

5. Monthly billing

On the 1st of each month, CourtHop will issue you a voucher covering the commission on bookings completed during the previous calendar month. The voucher:

  • Lists each completed booking and the commission owed.
  • Is sent to your registered email and appears in your Owner Dashboard.
  • Is due within 15 days of issue.

Payment methods accepted for vouchers are listed on the voucher itself. You must upload proof of payment when settling a voucher.

6. Late payment and enforcement

If a voucher is not settled by its due date, CourtHop may:

  • Send payment reminders to your registered contact details.
  • Apply a grace period at CourtHop's discretion.
  • Temporarily disable your facility listings from public search and reject new bookings until the outstanding balance is settled.
  • Suspend your Host account if the balance remains unpaid for an extended period.

Disabled facilities remain in our system and can be re-enabled immediately once payment is confirmed. Existing confirmed bookings will still be honored.

7. Your responsibilities

  • Provide accurate facility information, pricing, and availability.
  • Maintain the facility in safe and playable condition.
  • Honor confirmed bookings made through the Platform.
  • Refund players directly in the event of cancellation or decline.
  • Comply with all applicable Philippine laws, including local business and safety regulations.

8. Verification

You agree to submit the required verification documents (government ID, business registration, permits, proof of billing) and to keep them current. Facilities that fail or lose verification cannot be published or accept bookings through the Platform.

9. Liability

CourtHop provides a booking platform only. We are not liable for injuries, property damage, or disputes arising between you and players at your facility. You agree to maintain appropriate insurance and waivers.

10. Termination

Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time. On termination, any outstanding commission for completed bookings remains payable. CourtHop may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this Agreement.

11. Changes

CourtHop may update the commission rate or terms with at least 30 days' notice to your registered email. Continued use of the Platform after the notice period constitutes acceptance.

12. Governing law

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the Republic of the Philippines. Disputes will be resolved in the courts of Camiguin, Philippines.
