📋1. Platform Role & Overview

1.1 Our Role as Marketplace Facilitator

FDS COOP LLP operates Professional Club League (PCL) as a marketplace facilitator that connects clubs with stadium owners for match bookings. We are not the service provider; we facilitate transactions between clubs (bookers) and stadium owners (service providers).

Important: When you book a stadium through PCL, the contractual relationship for the booking exists between you (the club) and the stadium owner. We hold payments temporarily and facilitate the transaction.

1.2 Payment Holding & Release

  • Payments are held securely by PCL until match completion
  • Funds are released to stadium owners after successful match completion
  • Refunds follow the stadium's cancellation policy displayed at booking

💡 All refund decisions for stadium bookings are made according to the specific stadium's cancellation policy, which you accept during the booking process. However, PCL enforces minimum standards and provides guarantees in specific scenarios (see sections 3 & 4).

🏟️2. Stadium Booking Cancellations & Refunds

2.1 Stadium-Specific Policies

Each stadium on the PCL platform has its own cancellation and refund policy. These policies are:

  • Clearly displayed on the stadium's listing page
  • Shown during booking before payment confirmation
  • Acknowledged by you when completing the booking
  • Subject to PCL's minimum standards (see section 3)

⚠️ Important: Always review the stadium's specific cancellation policy before booking. Refund eligibility and amounts are determined by the stadium owner's policy.

2.2 How Refunds Work

  1. Club cancels booking: Refund (if any) is processed according to the stadium's policy
  2. Refund calculation: Stadium owner determines refund amount based on their policy
  3. Processing: PCL processes the refund within 5-7 business days after approval
  4. Payment method: Refunds are issued to the original payment method

2.3 Refund Timeline Examples

Note: These are examples only. Actual refund terms depend on the specific stadium's policy.

🛡️4. Platform-Guaranteed Refunds

PCL guarantees full refunds in the following scenarios, regardless of the stadium's cancellation policy:
