meet-up map — last updated: 4 November 2026.
This is a courtesy translation. In case of discrepancy, the original French version prevails.
Key points before you play:
These terms govern the use of the Pétanque Meet mobile app and of the meet-up map of the ludiven-studio.fr website (together, "the Service"). By creating an account or publishing on the map, you accept them. If you refuse them, do not use the Service.
See also the legal notice (in French).
Pétanque Meet is a map of pétanque games. A player publishes a game there (a pitch, a time, the number of players they are looking for), and other players sign up for it. A club or an association can also announce a tournament there.
The Service puts players in touch, nothing more. Ludiven Studio does not organise the games or the tournaments, does not attend them, and is not a party to the agreements between players.
The Service is free. The map covers the whole world: its tiles come from the BKG, the German Federal Agency for Cartography (TopPlusOpen, © BKG, licence dl-de/by-2-0), with data from OpenStreetMap. The app shows an advertising banner served by Unity LevelPlay (ironSource Ads and Unity Ads), Google AdMob up to version 0.1.6: the data it uses is described in the privacy policy (§9).
Looking at the map needs no account. To publish, sign up or report, you sign in with Google or Apple. The Service is meant for people aged 15 and over; a minor must have their parents' consent.
You are responsible for what is published from your account. One account per person: creating accounts to get around a limit or a suspension is forbidden.
You can delete your account at any time, in the app: "Account and help" → "Delete my account". What is erased is described in the privacy policy.
By using the Service, you agree to:
Announcing a tournament is reserved for its club, its association or its organiser. Whoever announces it guarantees that the information (date, place, fee, category) is accurate and updates it if it changes or is cancelled.
The phone number and the poster are optional and become public. By sending a poster, you guarantee that you have the right to distribute it, including for the photos and logos it contains, and you authorise Ludiven Studio to show it in the Service until it is erased. Each poster is checked by the publisher before it becomes visible, and may be refused without justification.
The entry fee is paid directly to the organiser. Ludiven Studio collects nothing and is not responsible for how the tournament runs.
Anyone can report a listing or a player who did not show up. Texts go through an automatic filter, and a listing reported by several players is hidden pending a check.
The publisher may, without notice, remove a listing, a sign-up or a poster that does not comply with these terms, and suspend an account: for a serious breach, or in the event of repeated breaches (fake games, no-shows, abuse of reporting). To challenge a decision, write to contact@ludiven-studio.fr.
To report illegal content, use the listing's "Report" button or write to us. We deal with it as soon as possible.
Games bring together people who often do not know each other. Ludiven Studio does not check players' identity and cannot guarantee their behaviour. A few good habits:
Each player remains responsible for their actions, their travel and their equipment. A dispute between players is settled between them.
The app, its code, its interfaces, its texts and its graphics belong to Ludiven Studio. They are protected by intellectual property law. You receive a personal, non-exclusive right of use. The map tiles belong to the BKG and to the OpenStreetMap contributors, and place names come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors). "Pétanque" is a generic term: the Service is not affiliated with any federation.
You remain the owner of what you publish. You authorise Ludiven Studio to show it in the Service, on the map and in share links, as long as the listing is online.
The publisher may change the Service, add or remove features, and change the limits (number of games online, of sign-ups per day…). It may suspend it for maintenance, or stop it for good. In that case, it will tell users in the app with reasonable notice.
These terms may change. The date of the update appears at the top of the page. In the event of a significant change, the app will let you know; continuing to use it means you accept them.
The Service is provided as is and free of charge. The publisher does not guarantee that it works without interruption, nor that the listings are accurate, up to date or honoured. It is not liable for the content published by users, which it removes as soon as it becomes aware of it if it is illegal. The ads are chosen and provided by ironSource Ads, Unity Ads and the buyers in their auctions (Google up to version 0.1.6): the publisher does not control their content and is not liable for the products or services they present.
The publisher can only be held liable in the event of proven fault, and its liability is limited to direct damage. It does not cover a wasted journey, a cancelled game, a changed tournament or a dispute between players. Nothing here excludes its liability in the event of gross negligence or physical injury, nor limits your mandatory consumer rights.
The processing of your data is described in the Pétanque Meet privacy policy, which forms part of these terms.
These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another member state of the European Union, you keep the mandatory protections of your country.
If there is a problem, write to us first: we will look for an amicable solution. If there is no solution within one month, you can turn to a consumer mediator free of charge (Article L612-1 of the French Consumer Code). The mediator's contact details are given on request at contact@ludiven-studio.fr. Failing agreement, the dispute will be brought before the competent courts.
