Terms &Conditions.
Welcome to Bubka Sports Lab. These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Bubka Sports Lab website and mobile apps for iOS and Android (together, the "Platform"). The Platform is operated by Bubka Football ehf. (kt. 690726-0760), a company registered in Iceland with its registered address at Hólagötu 40, 900 Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland ("Bubka Sports Lab," "we," "us," or "our").
By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Platform.
1What Bubka Sports Lab is
Bubka Sports Lab is a marketplace that connects football coaches with players, athletes and parents looking for coaching. The Platform lets you find coaches, book sessions, message each other, join sessions in person or live online, and pay.
Bubka Sports Lab is not a coaching provider and is not a party to the coaching relationship. Coaches are independent providers. They sell their services directly to buyers and are responsible for the quality, safety and delivery of their sessions. We do not guarantee any coaching outcome.
In the mobile apps, buyers can book and pay for one-to-one sessions with a coach, either in person or live online. Packages are sold only on the Bubka Sports Lab website and cannot be bought or accessed in the mobile apps.
2Eligibility and accounts
You must give accurate, current information when you register. Each account has one role: coach or player. You are responsible for keeping your login details confidential and for all activity on your account.
Coaches must be reviewed and approved by Bubka Sports Lab, and must connect a Teya merchant account, before they can accept bookings or publish packages. Players can register and book without prior approval.
Players below our minimum age can only register after a parent or guardian confirms consent. The contact details on such an account are treated as the parent's or guardian's. The parent or guardian is responsible for the account and all activity on it.
3Coach responsibilities
Coaches act as independent providers, not as employees or agents of Bubka Sports Lab. Coaches are solely responsible for:
the accuracy of their profile, session rate, session duration and listings;
the safety and quality of the sessions they deliver;
complying with any coaching, safeguarding or licensing rules that apply to them;
issuing any invoices to buyers and meeting their own tax obligations.
We review coach profile information, including credentials, bio and tier claims. Changes may be reviewed again before they appear publicly. Your existing profile, packages and bookings keep working while a review is in progress.
Coaches must keep their Teya merchant account connected. If it is disconnected, new bookings are blocked until it is reconnected. Sessions that were already confirmed go ahead as scheduled.
We may suspend or remove any coach account that breaches these Terms, misrepresents qualifications or poses a safety risk.
4Payments and commission
Payments are processed by Teya, our payment provider. When a buyer pays, the coach is the seller and merchant of record. The full payment goes to the coach's Teya merchant account, and Teya issues the payment receipt.
Bubka Sports Lab charges coaches a commission of 20% of each transaction. We invoice coaches for this commission, and coaches must pay each invoice by its due date. Coaches can see a summary of each transaction's gross amount, Bubka Sports Lab fee and net amount in their account.
For one-to-one sessions, the buyer pays in full at the time of booking. Prices are shown in Icelandic Króna (ISK). Session rates and package prices are as displayed at the time of purchase and do not change for a booking already made.
The coach's relationship with Teya, including Teya's processing fees and settlement to the coach's bank account, is governed by the coach's own agreement with Teya.
5Cancellations, no-shows and refunds
If a buyer cancels more than 24 hours before a scheduled session, they receive a full refund.
If a buyer cancels within 24 hours of a scheduled session, a cancellation fee of 50% of the session price applies and the rest is refunded.
If a coach declines a booking, or Bubka Sports Lab cancels a confirmed session (for example, after a coach approval review), the buyer receives a full refund regardless of timing.
A no-show is treated as a late cancellation. It can only be reported after a short grace period has passed from the scheduled start time. If either party disputes a cancellation or no-show, we review the available information, including session records, and our decision on how any fee is treated is final.
Refunds are issued through Teya from the coach's merchant account to the buyer's original payment method. The buyer always receives the full refund amount due; any processing costs on the refund are borne by the coach under their agreement with Teya. The time a refund takes to appear depends on the buyer's card issuer.
6Content and intellectual property
Coaches keep ownership of the materials, programmes and content they upload. They grant Bubka Sports Lab a licence to host that content and deliver it to buyers who have purchased access.
Where an online session is recorded, the recording forms part of the session record. A coach may only add a recording to their content library where they are entitled to do so.
You may not copy, redistribute or resell any coach content outside the Platform. All Bubka Sports Lab branding, software and platform design are our property and may not be used without our permission.
7Reviews
After a completed session, players can leave a review and rating for the coach. Reviews for completed packages are left on the website. Each player can leave one review per coach. Coaches can reply once to each review they receive.
Reviews and replies are moderated. We may remove or decline to publish any review or reply that is abusive, fraudulent or otherwise breaches these Terms.
8Prohibited conduct and objectionable content
We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You must not:
post or send content that is abusive, hateful, sexual, violent, threatening, discriminatory, unlawful, infringing or otherwise objectionable, whether in messages, reviews, profiles, uploads or live sessions;
harass, bully, threaten or endanger any other user, especially a minor;
misrepresent your identity, age or qualifications;
arrange payment outside the Platform to avoid commission;
attempt to disrupt, reverse-engineer or gain unauthorised access to the Platform.
You can report any content or user that breaches these Terms by contacting support@bubkasports.com. We review reports, remove content that breaches these Terms, and may suspend or permanently remove any user who posts it.
9Suspension, termination and account deletion
We may suspend or terminate any account for breach of these Terms, fraud, safety concerns or a failed approval review.
You can delete your account at any time from your account settings in the app or on the website. Deletion may be delayed while you have upcoming sessions, until they are completed or cancelled. What happens to your data after deletion is explained in our Privacy Policy.
10Disclaimers and limitation of liability
The Platform is provided "as is." We do not warrant uninterrupted availability or guarantee any coaching outcome.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, our liability to you is limited to the commission paid to us on the relevant transaction, except where liability cannot be limited by law. We are not responsible for the acts or omissions of coaches or players.
