About us

SquashLevels.com is a Website operated by SquashLevels Limited ("SquashLevels”, “We”, “Us”). We are registered in England and Wales under Company Number: 09746300 and our registered office at Glenavon Park, Bristol, United Kingdom, BS9 1RW, United Kingdom.

SquashLevels provides a service that gives players the ability to monitor their playing level in comparison with other players. The Website accesses match data from a number of different sources and uses an algorithm to create a ‘level’ based on the results. The Website is built around core features:

  • The algorithm - calculating the playing level of every player on the system for every match.
  • The search feature - providing the ability to look up any player in the system.
  • The rankings page - providing level based rankings for players in their context of club, region and country.
  • The player profile page - offering a range of features that include match history, player compare and playing level stats.
  • Social features - player communities, the abilty to post, like, comment and follow other players.

In addition, SquashLevels enables players to take part in box leagues, with the results entered (automatically) into the SquashLevels system.

These features, tools, applications, materials or other services offered from time to time by SquashLevels are referred to collectively as the "Services".

Use of Information

Except for the use of Cookies (see our cookies policy.), you can visit certain parts of the Website without disclosing any information about yourself. SquashLevels does not collect personal identifying information when you access the Website homepage and browse these parts of the Website without you disclosing your personal data. However, to start a free trial, purchase any subscription to access the Services on this Website, to participate in any contest or message feature, vote in polls or otherwise express an opinion, or subscribe to one of our services such as online newsletters, or participate in one of our online forums or communities, you must register and provide accurate information about yourself to the Website, as the Services may not work properly without such information.

The types of information that may be collected on these pages include: your name, e-mail address, postal address, nationality and telephone/mobile number, and your gender and date of birth ("Personal Information"). We request these details in order to provide the Services to you (i.e. dispatch news and SquashLevels communications via email, post, or phone), to respond to any queries you may have, to ensure we request and receive the correct consent from you, and to understand customer trends and patterns.

Your Personal Information is password protected, and any Personal Information you provide to the Website is protected from unauthorised disclosure by reasonable technological measures including encryption. Passwords are stored encrypted and cannot be recovered. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.

1. Orders

By subscribing to and paying for the Services you agree that you are entering into a legally binding contract with SquashLevels. The contract is conditional on the transaction being authorised by your card issuer. If the transaction is authorised your account will be activated. Your access to the Services is at all times subject to these Terms and Conditions.

2. Price & payment

SquashLevels offers a 30 day free trial to all users. All users are entitled to one free trial period only. No payment is required and users will be granted 30 days ‘Gold’ membership as part of the standard free trial. At the end of the free trial, users will be offered the ability to subscribe and begin paying for the service. You will have two premium options to choose from; either Gold or Platinum membership and two payment periods to choose from; annually or monthly. Once the subscription is set up, payment will be taken automatically until it is cancelled.

Users who do not select one of our premium memberships will default to either a ‘basic’ or ‘governing body’ (NGB) membership which will give you a version of the service with reduced functionality.

The governing body membership is provided to affiliated members of a governing body which gives access to some enhanced features of the Website and also entitles you to discounted premium subscription options.

The full range of membership options available to you is shown on our membership page here. If you are not logged on, we have assumed your most likely governing body based on your IP address location.

Our prices only cover access to the Services. Telephone line and other communications or access costs may be charged to you separately by your ISP or relevant service provider.

Our prices include VAT for the country they are purchased in based on the assessment of your location by the Stripe gateway. Except in the case of manifest error, the prices payable for the Services that you order are as set out on this Website at the time at which you place your order. Payment for services must be made through the Stripe gateway. SquashLevels reserves the right to refuse credit/debit card payments in its reasonable discretion. Stripe will process your payment on a secure site.

3. Duration & termination

Your subscription lasts one full year or one full month (depending on whether you decided on annual or monthly payments) starting from midnight of the day you begin your subscription. At the end of that period (as long as your subscription has not been cancelled) your card account will be automatically debited for the following year's or month's subscription, at the same price as your current subscription, providing you continued access to the system at the same membership level.

Your right to terminate: You may cancel your subscription at any time by following the instructions on this page or via the 'cancel' button at the bottom of the membership page. You can also cancel/block further payments via your bank which will have the same effect.

If you cancel, your current subscription will continue until it naturally terminates, one year or one month after it began, and your membership will default to either a ‘basic’ or ‘governing body’ membership which will provide you access to the system with reduced functionality. There will be no further charges. After that, you will be able to take out a new subscription for our premium services at any time but not necessarily at the price you initially paid.

If you have any questions please contact us via support@squashlevels.com.

Your right to a refund (this does not include any free trial period):

In accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations 2000 the following directive relates to the exception to the right to cancel:

(a) Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the consumer will not have the right to cancel the contract by giving notice of cancellation pursuant to regulation 10 in respect of contracts;

(b) For the supply of services if the supplier has complied with regulation 8(3) and performance of the contract has begun with the consumer's agreement before the end of the cancellation period applicable.

Your contract with SquashLevels is deemed to commence when your Access to the Services is enabled, and as such the above regulation applies and we do not offer the right to cancel once the first search has been made and therefore no refunds are given.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you cancel your account as this is a rolling subscription service. No refunds will be given if you fail to cancel as per the instructions outlined in this clause.

Our right to terminate:

SquashLevels may terminate this agreement with immediate effect and by written notice at any time if you commit a material breach of this agreement (and any breach of clause 2 or 6 will be considered to be a material breach) or if you do not fulfil any of the technical requirements set out in clause 4. In addition, SquashLevels may terminate this agreement on one calendar month's notice given in writing to you in accordance with clause 5.

If SquashLevels terminates the agreement other than as a result of your breach or technical non-compliance, you may receive a refund of the amount you pre-paid for the Services less an amount proportionate to the number of days for which you have had access to the Services.

4. The services & service availability
