Terms of use

Version 1.0 · Last updated: 11 November 2026

These terms apply to the Multipass apps, the Multipass account and the multipass.studio websites. They form the contract between you and Multipass. What we do with your data is described separately, in the privacy policy.

In short

• The apps work without an account and without a network. What you enter stays on your phone: you are responsible for it, and you back it up.
• The Multipass account is optional. It is only used for credits. It is reserved for people aged 15 or over and tied to your email address.
• One credit upgrades a Billiard Bracket tournament to L128 until it is closed. Credits are not money: they cannot be refunded, exchanged or moved to another account, and they are lost if you delete your account. They do not expire.
• You remain the organiser of your tournaments: rules, money, players and compliance with regulations are your responsibility.

1. Who we are

Multipass is the trading name of Alain PROST, sole trader, RIDET business number 0725689.004. Postal address: BP 367, 98810 Mont-Dore, New Caledonia. Street address: 802 rue Félix Bernut, 98809 Mont-Dore, New Caledonia. All correspondence must be sent to the postal address.

Contact: each app's support address, shown in the app and on its store listing (Billiard Bracket: support@billiard-bracket.multipass.studio; Billiard Match: support@billiard-match.multipass.studio). For your personal data: dpo@multipass.studio.

The websites' legal notice (publisher, publication director, host) is on its own page: legal notice.

2. What is covered

• The Multipass apps: currently Billiard Bracket (running pool and billiards tournaments) and Billiard Match (refereeing and timing a match). A new app is covered as soon as it is published.
• The Multipass account, shared by all the apps, and its credits.
• The websites multipass.studio and *.multipass.studio.

An app may have its own rules (for example the limit of an L16 tournament): they are described in the app and supplement these terms.

3. Accepting these terms

• The account: when you create it, you tick "I accept the terms of use and confirm I am 15 or over". We keep the date and the version accepted for as long as the account exists. Without ticking the box, no account is created; the apps can still be used without one.
• Apps without an account: by installing and using an app, you accept the sections of these terms that apply to it, that is all of them except those specific to the account (§5, §6 and §9).
• Age: the account is reserved for people aged 15 or over. By ticking the box, you confirm that you are. If we learn, after checking, that an account belongs to someone under 15, we delete it.

4. The apps

Licence. We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to install the apps on devices you own or control and to use them, for yourself or for the tournaments and matches you organise or referee, including within a club, an association or a business. This right lasts as long as you comply with these terms.

Your data stays on your phone. Players, tournaments, matches, results and settings are stored only on your device. We have no access to them and cannot recover or restore them. If you uninstall the app, or lose or reset your phone without a backup, they are lost. The system backup (Google or Apple), if you turn it on, is between you and Google or Apple.

Your players' data. When you record players, you decide what you keep about them and you are responsible for it (see the privacy policy, §9): record only what is needed, tell them, and delete a player who asks you to.

Paid features. Some features or versions of an app may be paid. Their price and terms are shown to you before purchase, which is made through Google Play or the App Store and is also subject to the store's rules. The details of each paid offer are set out in the terms of sale (§6, Purchases).

Updates. We publish updates to fix, improve or develop the apps. Some features (the account, upgrading a tournament to L128) may require a recent version of the app.

5. The Multipass account

What it is for. The account keeps your credits on a server rather than on your phone: a credit can be used on any phone signed in to your account, survives reinstalling the app and is never duplicated. It is only useful for credits; everything else works without it.

Signing in. You sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email address, or with your Google account (Android) or Apple account (iPhone). Sign-ins with the same verified address lead to the same account.

One account, one person. The account is personal. You create it with an email address you control and you keep access to that address and to your phone: anyone who receives your emails can sign in to your account. If you think someone else is using it, write to us.

Changing your address. From the app: a code is sent to the old and to the new address, and your account keeps its credits. Do it while you can still receive emails at the old address: without it, we cannot change the address or move your credits to another account, as we cannot check that the request comes from you.

Deleting your account. At any time, from the app or by email (see Delete your account). Deletion is permanent: address, sign-in methods and history are erased, and your unused credits are lost on all your phones. Tournaments already upgraded to L128 are not affected.

6. Credits

What a credit is. A credit is a right of use attached to your account. For Billiard Bracket, one credit = one L128 tournament: a tournament is L16 (up to 16 entries, unlimited new entries); a credit upgrades it to L128 (up to 128 entries, the app's technical limit) until it is closed, including interruptions and resumptions. A credit is not money, a voucher or a means of payment.

Using a credit. The app asks you to confirm before using a credit. Upgrading to L128 needs a network for a few seconds; the tournament then runs without one. The credit is taken from the account signed in at that moment, whatever the phone, and the tournament stays L128 even if that account signs out afterwards.

When a credit is returned. If a tournament is upgraded to L128 before the draw and is back to 16 entries or fewer at the draw, or is deleted before the draw, the credit is returned to your account as soon as the app can send it (next time it is online). In every other case it is used up: at the draw, or straight away when the upgrade happens after the draw. A tournament deleted after the draw does not return its credit.

Free credits. During the test phase, and afterwards at our discretion, we may add free credits to your account. They work like any other credit.

Rules for all credits.

• They do not expire while your account exists.
• They are not refundable, not exchangeable for money and not transferable, and cannot be moved to another account, even by support.
• They are lost when the account is deleted.
• A credit added by mistake may be removed; a credit that should have been returned and was not is restored on request. Each correction is recorded in your account history, which you can see on request.

Purchases. Buying credits is not yet available. When it is, purchases will be made in the app through Google Play or the App Store and governed by terms of sale published before sales open.

7. What you run with the apps

The apps are tools. You remain the organiser or referee: Multipass does not take part in your tournaments and matches, does not supervise them and collects no money on your behalf.

Two kinds of money, not to be confused.

• What you pay Multipass: purchases made in an app, through Google Play or the App Store (§4, §6). You buy a right of use, such as a credit: it does not depend on any result, cannot be won in a tournament, cannot be staked and cannot be exchanged for money.

• Your tournament money: registration fees, new entries, prizes and payouts, which you set and exchange with your players. Multipass has no part in it: the rules below apply.

• You set the rules, formats, schedules and sporting decisions, and you check draws, scores and rankings before announcing them.

• Amounts calculated by Billiard Bracket (registration fees, new entries, prizes, payouts, financial summary) are a calculation aid: you collect, pay out and check.

• Estimated finishing times and durations are for guidance only.

• Multipass does not run any tournament. Billiard Bracket calculates amounts but does not collect, hold or pay out any money; we set no registration fee or prize and take nothing from these sums.

• You comply with the regulations that apply to your tournaments, in particular on prize competitions, venues open to the public and sports federations: it is up to you to check that a tournament with registration fees and prizes is allowed where you run it.

8. Fair use

You agree not to:

• modify, decompile or circumvent an app to lift a limit, obtain a credit or upgrade a tournament to L128 without a credit, except where the law allows you to;
• access the server other than through the apps, overload it, or attempt to break into it or test its security without our consent;
• sign in to someone else's account or create accounts to obtain extra free credits;
• resell credits, account access or the apps;
• use the apps or websites for any unlawful activity.

9. Measures in the event of a breach

Based on verifiable facts. We only act on facts we can check: your account history, our server logs or a written request from an authority. A report on its own never leads to a measure: it triggers a check.

Credits obtained improperly (for example by creating several accounts to receive free credits, or by abusing the return of a credit). We write to you explaining what we found, and you have 15 days to reply. If the breach is confirmed, we remove only the credits obtained improperly, through a correction recorded in your account history (§6); your other credits remain. If it happens again, we may delete your account, after writing to you again and giving you 15 days to reply.

Without notice. If the server logs show an attack carried out from your account (an attempt to break in, deliberate overloading), or if an authority requires it, we may delete your account without notice. We then write to you to give the reason, unless the law or the authority forbids us to.

Effects. Deletion by Multipass has the same effects as a deletion you request (§5): your unused credits are lost.

Challenging a measure. You can challenge a measure by replying to our email: we will review your case. Failing agreement, you can go to court (§16).

10. Availability and changes to the service

• The apps work without a network. The server is only needed to sign in, read your balance, upgrade a tournament to L128 and return a credit; a tournament in progress never depends on it.
• We do our best to keep the server available but cannot guarantee it: maintenance, a provider outage, network issues. During the test phase, the service may change or be interrupted more often.
• We may develop the apps and the service. We may also discontinue an app or the Multipass account service, for example if Multipass ceases trading, if an app is no longer maintained, or if a store, the law or a provider essential to the service requires it. We will then tell you at least 3 months in advance, in the app or by email, unless the law, a store or that provider imposes a shorter period on us. Tournaments already upgraded to L128 stay L128 until they are closed, even without the server. Unused free credits are lost; what happens to purchased credits will be set out in the terms of sale.

11. Liability

• We provide the apps and the service with care, as they are, without guaranteeing that they are error-free or suitable for every use you make of them.
• We are not liable for: loss of data stored on your phone; input errors; decisions taken in your tournaments and matches or money you collect or pay out there; use contrary to these terms; failure of your phone, your network or Google's or Apple's services; indirect loss (loss of opportunity, income or reputation).
• Nothing in these terms limits our liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, for personal injury, or the guarantees and rights you have under the law as a consumer.

12. Intellectual property

The apps, their code, interface and text, the names "Multipass", "Billiard Bracket" and "Billiard Match" and their logos belong to us. These terms only give you the right of use in §4. What you enter belongs to you: we claim no rights over it and have no access to it.

13. Personal data

The privacy policy describes the data processed for the account and the websites, and what each app stores on your phone. It is part of the information you receive with these terms.

14. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms, for example for a new feature or a change in the law. Each version has a number and a date. A new version is published on this page and announced in the apps before it applies. If you have an account, the app asks you to accept the new version before your next L128 upgrade; if you refuse it, you can delete your account. A change never removes a credit already on your account or alters a tournament already upgraded to L128.

15. App Store

If you downloaded an app from Apple's App Store, the licence in §4 is replaced, for that app, by Apple's standard licence agreement (Licensed Application End User License Agreement, apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula). The rest of these terms still applies, in particular to the Multipass account and credits.

16. Governing law and disputes

• These terms are governed by the law applicable in New Caledonia. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory rules of your country of residence.
• If there is a problem, first write to the app's support: we will look for an amicable solution.
• Failing agreement, the dispute is brought before the courts of Nouméa, unless the law allows you, as a consumer, to go to the court where you live.
• If a clause is declared void, the others remain in force.
