Terms of Service
Last updated: 8 October 2026
1. About KyoHub
KyoHub is a platform that connects racing drivers ("Pilots") with motorsport teams ("Teams") for seat opportunities. By creating an account, you agree to these Terms of Service.
Pilots who use KyoHub for personal purposes are consumers, and nothing in these Terms limits the rights they have under applicable consumer protection law. Teams use KyoHub as business users.
2. User Accounts
You must provide accurate information when registering and keep your account details confidential. You are responsible for activity on your account. Minors may only use KyoHub as described in section 7.
3. Service Fee on Seat Payments
Teams do not pay a commission. When a Pilot pays for a seat through KyoHub, the Pilot pays the agreed seat price plus a KyoHub service fee:
- Pilot on the free plan: 2.5% of the agreed seat price
- Pilot with Driver Premium: 1.5% of the agreed seat price
The rate depends on the Pilot's plan when the payment is made. The fee and the total are shown before the Pilot pays and in the seat agreement.
4. Seat Payments and Payouts
Seat payments are processed by Stripe. KyoHub collects the payment and transfers 100% of the agreed seat price to the Team's connected Stripe account; the service fee is kept by KyoHub. Teams must connect a Stripe account to receive payments.
Each seat deal is governed by the seat agreement generated on KyoHub, which the Pilot signs digitally. Unless the agreement says otherwise: if the Team cancels, the Pilot is refunded in full (seat price and service fee); if the Pilot cancels, KyoHub keeps the service fee, the Team keeps 50% of the seat price and the Pilot is refunded the other 50%. Payment must be completed within 72 hours of the Pilot's signature.
When a Pilot and a Team first made contact through KyoHub, both agree to complete the payment for that seat through KyoHub and not to arrange it outside the platform to avoid the service fee. Doing so is a material breach of these Terms and may lead to suspension under section 10.
5. Premium Subscriptions
KyoHub Premium is available for each role, billed monthly or annually:
- Driver Premium: €14.99/month or €119/year
- Team Premium: €39/month or €299/year
Prices are final prices in euros, the same in every country, with taxes included where applicable. Payment is processed by Stripe. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period until you cancel it. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep Premium until then.
Right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer, you have 14 days from purchase to withdraw from a subscription without giving a reason. Because Premium starts as soon as you pay, you will be asked at checkout to request that it start immediately and to acknowledge that you lose the right of withdrawal once it has started. If you do not give that consent, you cannot subscribe. Outside the right of withdrawal, and except where the law requires otherwise, no refunds are given for partial billing periods.
Premium features are described on the pricing page. Driver Premium includes the reduced service fee in section 3, access to requirement-gated seats and priority placement in team searches. Team Premium includes unlimited seat listings, requirement gates, candidate management tools and priority placement of its seats.
6. Verification and Profile Information
Users are responsible for the accuracy of the information they publish. A "verified" badge means KyoHub has reviewed documents the Pilot submitted; it is not a guarantee of the Pilot's identity, skill, licence status or record. Information that is not verified, including a Pilot's FIA grade, is self-declared. KyoHub does not guarantee the accuracy of listings, profiles or race results.
7. Minors
You must be 18 or older to create an account yourself. A Pilot under 18 may use KyoHub only through an account created and managed by their parent or legal guardian, who consents to these Terms and to the processing of the minor's personal data, and is responsible for the account and for any agreement or payment made through it. KyoHub may ask for proof of consent and may suspend accounts that do not meet this section.
8. Ranking
Listings are ordered by the following main parameters. Users can also filter and sort results themselves.
- Seats: seats from Teams with Team Premium are shown first, then by most recently published. On the free plan, a Team's two most recent active seats are shown.
- Pilots: only verified Pilots are shown by default. Pilots with Driver Premium are shown first, then by most recently updated profile. Pilots can limit their visibility (public, Premium Teams only, or hidden).
- Teams: in alphabetical order.
Premium subscriptions are the only paid factor that affects ranking. KyoHub does not accept other payments for placement.
9. Content and Listings
Seat listings must represent genuine opportunities. Users must not publish false, misleading, unlawful or infringing content. KyoHub may remove content that breaks these Terms.
10. Suspension and Termination
KyoHub may restrict, suspend or terminate an account for: providing false information, fraudulent or misleading listings, circumventing the payment flow (section 4), abusive behaviour towards other users, or other serious or repeated breaches of these Terms or of the law.
Before or at the time of a restriction or suspension, KyoHub will tell the user the reasons by email, unless the law prevents it. For a termination of a Team's account, KyoHub will give at least 30 days' notice, except where the law or a serious or repeated breach requires immediate action. The user can respond and ask for a review through the complaints procedure in section 11.
You can close your account at any time from Settings, subject to resolving active payments or subscriptions first.
11. Complaints
Complaints about the platform, a suspension, ranking or any other decision by KyoHub can be sent to support@kyohub.com. KyoHub will acknowledge the complaint, review it and reply with its decision within a reasonable time. Using this procedure does not affect your right to go to court or to an out-of-court dispute resolution body.
12. Motorsport Activities
Motorsport involves a risk of injury and damage. KyoHub only connects Pilots and Teams; it does not organise events, operate cars or supervise track activity. KyoHub does not verify the safety or condition of cars and equipment, insurance, licences, permits or event organisation. These are the sole responsibility of the Teams, Pilots and event organisers involved, who must make their own checks before agreeing to a seat.
13. Liability
KyoHub is a marketplace and is not a party to the agreement between a Pilot and a Team. To the extent permitted by applicable law, KyoHub is not liable for deals that do not go ahead, disputes between users, or losses arising from arrangements made through the platform.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, KyoHub's total liability to any user is limited to the fees that user paid to KyoHub in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or wilful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.
14. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of Spain. Disputes will be resolved by the courts of Spain, without prejudice to any mandatory rights a consumer has to bring proceedings in the courts of their country of residence.
15. Changes to These Terms
KyoHub will notify users of material changes to these Terms by email at least 30 days before they take effect, unless a change is required sooner by law. If you do not agree with a change, you can close your account or cancel your subscription before it takes effect. Changes apply from the date stated in the notice.
