  • Bank: [INSERT BANK NAME]
  • Reference: The contract number and the corresponding month must be stated.

6.2. Prohibition of Direct Debit (SEPA)

Smart Padel does NOT accept direct debit (SEPA) for monthly subscriptions. As from January 2026, this method of payment is NOT permitted for recurring monthly payments.

The Client expressly accepts that it is its responsibility to make the monthly bank transfer within the time limits established in this Agreement.

6.3. Due Date and Frequency of the Fees

6.3.1. Monthly Fees

The Client owes Smart Padel the monthly Fees, which are payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each month to which they relate. The transfer must be made so that the funds are available in Smart Padel’s account on the 1st day of each month or, if that day is a public holiday or non-working day, on the first subsequent Business Day.

6.3.2. Pro Rata Payment in Case of Early Delivery

If the Assets are delivered before the first (1st) day of the month in which the term of the Agreement begins, the Client shall pay, for the intermediate period, a proportional amount equivalent to 1/30 of the monthly Fee for each calendar day elapsed from delivery until the start of the term.

Example: If the monthly Fee is €300 and the Assets are delivered on 15 March (with commencement of the Agreement on 1 April), the Client shall pay for the period from 15 to 31 March:

17 days × (€300 / 30) = €170.

6.3.3. Issue of Invoices

Smart Padel shall issue and send the Client, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the payment due date, the corresponding invoice stating the exact amount to be transferred and the bank details for making the payment.

6.4. Default Interest in Case of Non-Payment

In the event of default or delay in payment of any amount owed to Smart Padel (monthly Fees, insurance premiums, repair costs, penalties, etc.), the Client shall pay default interest calculated at the agreed rate, corresponding to:

  • Default interest rate: the statutory legal interest rate in force at any given time, increased by fifteen percentage points (+15%).

Calculation example: If the statutory legal interest rate is 3% per annum, the applicable default rate shall be 18% per annum (3% + 15%).

Default interest shall accrue automatically from the day following the payment due date until the date of effective payment and shall be calculated on the outstanding principal.

6.5. Penalty for Non-Payment or Late Payment

In the event of non-payment or a delay of more than five (5) calendar days in the payment of any Fee:

  • The Client shall pay Smart Padel a penalty of fifty euros (€50.00), plus VAT at the legally applicable rate.
  • This penalty shall be added to the outstanding amount and shall accrue default interest from the day following the payment due date until effective payment.
  • Smart Padel may suspend access to the software licences and maintenance services until payment has been regularised.

6.6. Payment Reminders

Smart Padel shall send the Client payment reminders by email five (5) days prior to the due date of each Fee. However, the sending or non-sending of such reminders does not affect the Client’s obligation to make timely payment.

It is the Client’s sole responsibility to ensure that payment is made on time. Smart Padel shall not be liable if the Client does not receive reminders due to technical issues, spam filters or incorrect email addresses.

6.7. Proof of Payment

The Client must retain proof of all bank transfers made throughout the term of the Agreement and until expiry of any actions arising therefrom. Smart Padel may request the Client to provide such proof in the event of any discrepancy regarding payments made.

6.8. Allocation of Payments

Where the Client makes a partial payment insufficient to cover all amounts due, Smart Padel shall allocate such payment in the following order of priority:

  1. Recovery costs, notifications and debt collection management expenses.
  2. Accrued default interest.
  3. Penalties for late payment.
  4. Overdue insurance premiums.
  5. Overdue monthly Fees, starting with the oldest.
  6. Any other amounts due.

The Client may not unilaterally modify this order of allocation or make partial allocations to certain items to the exclusion of others.

7. Adjustment of rental fees


7.1. Smart Padel’s Right to Adjust the Fees

Smart Padel reserves the right, at any time, to adjust the monthly Fees due under this Agreement and the Specific Conditions agreed between the parties.

The adjustment shall be made under the following conditions:

  • Frequency: The adjustment may be made once per year, on the anniversary of the commencement date of the Agreement.
  • Maximum limit: The adjustment may not exceed the increase recorded by the General Consumer Price Index (CPI), National Aggregate, published by the Spanish National Statistics Institute (INE), in the twelve (12) months preceding the adjustment date.
  • Prior notice: Smart Padel shall notify the Client of the proposed adjustment at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the modification is to take effect.
  • Form of notification: The communication shall be made by email to the address indicated by the Client, specifying the new Fee amount and the percentage increase applied.

7.2. Client’s Right to Challenge Excessive Adjustments

If the adjustment proposed under Clause 7.1 represents a percentage higher than the CPI increase in the preceding twelve (12) months, the Client may challenge the excess applied by sending a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt to Smart Padel.

7.2.1. Time Limit for Challenge

The Client shall have a period of fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of receipt of the adjustment notification to submit its challenge. After this period, if no challenge has been received, the Client shall be deemed to have accepted the proposed adjustment.

7.2.2. Content of the Challenge

The Client’s challenge must include:

  • Identification of the Agreement and the Client.
  • Reference to the adjustment notification received.
  • Indication of the CPI increase for the relevant period, providing official documentation from the INE to evidence it.
  • Calculation of the increase that the Client considers legally applicable.
  • An express request for rectification of the adjustment.

7.2.3. Resolution of the Challenge

Smart Padel shall examine the challenge and, within a maximum period of ten (10) Business Days from receipt, notify the Client of its decision, which may be:

  • Acceptance of the challenge: The CPI increase evidenced by the Client shall be applied.
  • Partial acceptance: An intermediate percentage duly justified shall be applied.
  • Rejection: The proposed adjustment shall be maintained if Smart Padel demonstrates that it does not exceed the CPI or that exceptional circumstances justify it.

7.3. Extraordinary Adjustment Due to Exceptional Circumstances

Exceptionally, Smart Padel may propose adjustments exceeding the CPI where duly justified extraordinary circumstances arise, such as:

  • Significant increases in the costs of components, materials or software licences of the Assets.
  • Substantial changes in tax or labour regulations directly affecting Smart Padel’s costs.
  • Extraordinary increases in energy or transport costs.
  • Significant devaluation of the euro against other currencies where the Assets or their components are acquired in foreign currency.

In such cases, Smart Padel must document the exceptional circumstances and the Client shall have the right to reject the extraordinary adjustment and terminate the Agreement without penalty, provided that it is outside the Initial Term.


8. Termination of the agreement


8.1. Right to Terminate for Definitive Breach

Both parties shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately and at any time in the event of a definitive breach of the obligations set out herein by the other party.

The exercise of the right of termination shall not exclude the right of the non-breaching party to claim compensation for the damages caused by the breach.

8.2. Breaches Constituting Definitive Termination​

The following shall constitute causes of definitive breach entitling Smart Padel to terminate the Agreement, in particular:

a) Non-payment: Failure to pay three (3) monthly Fees, whether consecutive or not, within a twelve (12) month period.

b) Unauthorised transfer or assignment: Transfer, assignment of the business operation, transfer of the business or closure of the commercial or industrial premises in which the Asset is installed, without Smart Padel’s prior written authorisation.

c) False statements: Any falsity, inaccuracy, inconsistency or omission in any communication or document provided by the Client that undermines Smart Padel’s trust or increases the risk of non-payment of the Fees or disappearance of the Assets.

d) Prolonged interruption of activity: Interruption of the Client’s commercial activity for a period exceeding three (3) consecutive months, unless such interruption is due to refurbishment works previously notified to Smart Padel.

e) Judicial seizure: Judicial seizure or attachment of the leased Assets or of other assets of the Client that compromise its ability to pay.

f) Corporate transactions: Demerger, merger, liquidation or dissolution of the Client, unless the resulting entity expressly assumes all obligations under this Agreement.

g) Insolvency situation: Legal grounds for dissolution of the Client due to losses, insolvency proceedings or any situation that may give rise to an application for insolvency which affects the guarantees of performance of the Agreement.

h) Improper use of the Assets: Use of the Assets for purposes other than those provided for in the Agreement, or in breach of applicable regulations.

i) Lack of insurance: Failure to comply with the obligation to keep the Assets insured in accordance with Section 5 for a period exceeding thirty (30) days.

8.3. Financial Consequences of Termination for Breach

Termination of the Agreement due to breach by the Client shall entitle Smart Padel, in addition to the amounts already accrued, to the following compensation:

a) Due and unpaid Fees: All monthly Fees due and unpaid up to the date of termination.

b) Penalty clause (during the Initial Term only): If termination occurs during the Initial Term, all monthly Fees not yet due up to the end of that Term, in accordance with clause 3.3 of this Agreement.

f) Recovery costs: The costs of collection, transport, storage and reconditioning of the Assets.

g) Damage to the Assets: The cost of repairing the Assets if they are returned with damage exceeding normal wear and tear.

8.4. Obligation of Immediate Return of the Assets

Termination of the Agreement places the Client under the obligation to immediately return the Assets to Smart Padel, in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement.

If the Client does not voluntarily return the Assets within seven (7) calendar days from notification of termination, Smart Padel may:

  • Initiate judicial recovery actions in respect of the Assets.
  • Access the Client’s premises to remove the Assets, upon twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice.
  • Invoice the Client a daily penalty equivalent to 5% of the monthly Fee for each day of delay in returning the Assets.
  • Claim any additional damages arising from the unlawful retention.

8.5. Possibility to Remedy the Breach

For the purposes of clause 8.2, the Client may only remedy the breach giving rise to termination if, before Smart Padel formally notifies termination, it proceeds to:

  • Pay all monthly Fees due up to the date of payment.
  • Pay a surcharge of twenty per cent (20%) on the total outstanding amount, as compensation for the breach.
  • Pay any insurance premiums due, where applicable.
  • Pay all accrued default interest.
  • Settle all notification and debt recovery management costs incurred by Smart Padel.
  • Regularise the situation that gave rise to the breach (for example, renew the insurance, notify change of address, etc.).

The remedy must be complete and cover all the items indicated. Partial payment or incomplete regularisation shall not prevent Smart Padel from exercising its right of termination.

Once Smart Padel has formally notified termination of the Agreement, the Client shall no longer be able to remedy the breach, unless Smart Padel expressly accepts the remedy and withdraws the termination notice.

9. Objection to renewal and termination by notice


9.1. Right to Object to Automatic Renewal

Either party wishing to object to the automatic renewal of the Agreement provided for in clause 3.3 may give notice of termination by informing the other party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, giving at least thirty (30) calendar days’ prior notice before the end of the Initial Term or any subsequent Renewal Period.

9.1.1. Calculation of the Notice Period

The thirty (30) day notice period shall be calculated from the date of receipt of the registered letter by the other party, not from the date of sending. It is therefore the responsibility of the party wishing to terminate the Agreement to ensure that the notification reaches its destination in sufficient time.

Example: If the Initial Term ends on 31 December, the party wishing to object to renewal must ensure that the registered letter is received by the other party no later than 1 December.

9.1.2. Form of the Notification

The notification of termination must be made by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt and must include:

  • Full identification of the Agreement (contract number, signature date).
  • Identification of the party giving notice of termination.
  • An express and unequivocal statement of the intention not to renew the Agreement.
  • Indication of the date on which the Agreement is to end (which must coincide with the end of the Initial Term or a Renewal Period).
  • Confirmation of the commitment to return the Assets under the conditions set out in the Agreement.

9.1.3. Consequences of the Termination Notice

Once termination notice has been given in accordance with the above:

  • The Agreement shall end on the indicated date, without automatic renewal.
  • The Client must proceed to return the Assets in accordance with Section 10.
  • All obligations of the Client shall subsist until the effective termination date of the Agreement.
  • The penalty clause provided for in clause 3.4 shall not accrue, provided that the termination notice is given after the Initial Term has ended.
  • Smart Padel may carry out an inspection of the Assets prior to the termination date to verify their condition.

9.2. Modification of Renewal Periods and Conditions

The parties may agree in writing at any time, by means of an Addendum to this Agreement, renewal periods and conditions different from those provided for in clause 3.3. In particular, the parties may agree:

  • Renewal periods of a duration other than one year (for example, two- or three-year renewals).
  • Notice periods different from the thirty days established.
  • Specific financial conditions for renewal periods.
  • Minimum stay commitments during renewal periods.
  • Any other modification the parties deem appropriate.

9.3. Renewal Proposal by Smart Padel

Up to thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Period, Smart Padel may present the Client with renewal proposals containing specific conditions, which may include:

  • Modification of the Fee for the renewal periods.
  • Update or replacement of the Assets with more modern equipment.
  • Increase in the number of leased Assets.
  • Modification of the services included in the Fee.
  • Any other modification that Smart Padel considers beneficial to both parties.

The Client shall have a period of fifteen (15) calendar days from receipt of the proposal to accept or reject it. Failure to respond within this period shall be deemed a rejection of the proposal, and the Agreement shall be automatically renewed under the conditions of the original Agreement.

  • Information on maintenance, software updates or technical incidents.
  • Insurance renewal reminders.
  • Communications relating to the performance of the Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, formal communications that may have significant legal consequences (formal payment demands, notice of termination of the Agreement, damage claims, etc.) shall be made by registered post with acknowledgement of receipt or by burofax, in accordance with Section 12.

15.6. Costs for Changes in the Client’s Tax Identification

If the Client requests to modify its tax identification details (change of company name, tax identification number, tax address, etc.) once the Agreement has commenced, Smart Padel must update its systems, amend billing details and, in some cases, issue corrective invoices.

The following costs shall apply:

  • Simple tax data changes (change of tax address): No cost.
  • Change of company name or tax identification number: Fifty euros (€50.00), plus VAT, per modification. This cost covers system updates, amendment of the Agreement and issue of corrective invoices where necessary.
  • Issue of corrective invoices: Twenty euros (€20.00), plus VAT, per corrective invoice issued.

These costs shall be invoiced to the Client in the month following the change.

Important note: If the change of tax identification is due to a corporate transaction (merger, demerger, etc.), Smart Padel shall assess whether it is necessary to formalise an assignment of contractual position in accordance with Section 11, which may entail additional costs.

15.7. Language of Invoices and Communications

All invoices and communications shall be issued in Spanish, unless the Client expressly requests that they be issued in another language (English, French, German, Italian). In such case, Smart Padel shall assess the feasibility of complying with the request.

If Smart Padel agrees to issue invoices in a language other than Spanish, a surcharge of 5% shall be applied to the amount of each invoice issued in a foreign language, as translation and adaptation costs.
