Terms and conditions

Brechear is an online platform for off-road event promoters: UTV/SxS, enduro, rock crawl, desert, trail, group rides and similar. The promoter creates an event, publishes classes, prices and tickets, and Brechear collects racer entries and spectator tickets online. We also provide check-in, QR scanning, heats, phone scoring, a live leaderboard, results, series standings and event finances.

Brechear is operated by Víctor Manuel Campos Vázquez, an individual. Where these Terms say “Brechear”, “we” or “us”, they refer to him.

• Address: Cipreses 22, Fraccionamiento Cipreses de Mayorazgo, C.P. 72480, Puebla, Puebla, Mexico.
• Email: hola@brechear.com
• Phone: we do not publish one yet. We would rather tell you that than show you a number nobody answers; write to the email address, and if you need us to call you, ask and we will.

Mexico's Federal Consumer Protection Law (art. 76 bis, section III) requires you to have our address and a telephone number before you transact. The address and the email are above; the phone number is something we still owe, and we say so plainly rather than publish a number that reaches nobody. Until it exists, email is the formal channel of contact, and any call you ask for is arranged through it.

Brechear does not organize events. We are not a promoter, a club, an insurer, an insurance intermediary or a sanctioning body. Every event published on Brechear is organized by an independent person, club or company that decides the rules, the venue, the safety measures, the prices and the refund policy.

By using Brechear — as a promoter, racer, spectator or plain visitor — you accept these Terms. If you do not agree with them, do not use the platform.

You need an account to create events. Racers and spectators can register or buy tickets without one: their email is enough.

• You must be of legal age to open an account.
• The information you enter must be real and kept up to date.
• You are responsible for your password and for everything that happens from your account.
• If you invite your team (admin, staff or scorer), you answer for what they do inside your organization.

You can sign in with an email and password or, where enabled, with your Google account. When you sign in with Google we receive a stable identifier for your Google account and your email address, and we store them so we can recognize you next time; we never receive your Google password.

How you sign on Brechear — and we agree it here, expressly. When you tick the acceptance box and type your own details into a form (your name, your email and whatever the form asks), that act constitutes your electronic signature for the purposes of these Terms, the Privacy Notice and the event's waiver. By accepting these Terms you agree that identification procedure with us: it is the one we will apply and the one you acknowledge as your own, under article 90 bis of the Mexican Commercial Code.

What gets recorded each time you accept something. We store: which document you accepted, its version, the language you read it in, a cryptographic fingerprint (SHA-256) of the exact text that was on your screen — and the full text where that document is the contract itself, as when you open your account or create your organization — the date and time, your email address, and the IP address and browser you did it from. That record is written in the same operation as the registration, purchase or sign-up you were completing, so one cannot exist without the other.

What that signature is, and what it is not. It is an electronic signature in the simple sense: it serves to establish that you accepted a specific text at a specific moment. It is not a handwritten signature and not an advanced electronic signature, and we do not claim that it is. If there is ever a disagreement about whether it was you, that record is the evidence we will produce and you are free to challenge it; you can also ask us for a copy of whatever we hold about your acceptance.

If you think someone else got into your account, tell us right away at hola@brechear.com and change your password.

You decide and answer for everything around the event. In particular:

• The content of the event page: name, description, photos, venue, dates, rules and schedule.
• The classes, prices, pricing phases, discount codes, add-ons and tickets.
• The permits and authorizations the law requires, the medical services and the safety measures.
• The insurance the law requires of you. Mexico's General Law on Physical Culture and Sport (art. 98) requires whoever organizes a sporting spectacle to show that they hold a current insurance policy covering compensation for damage to persons and property that may be caused. Buying it and keeping it current is your obligation, not Brechear's.
• If your event includes any raffle, draw or game with ticket sales, you need prior authorization from Mexico's Ministry of the Interior (SEGOB). Without that permit you may not use Brechear to sell or collect for it. That obligation is yours, and so is the criminal exposure of running one without a permit.
• The text of the waiver and the rules for minors.
• A clear refund and cancellation policy, published before you start selling.
• Taking care of racers and spectators: questions, changes, refunds and complaints.
• Complying with applicable law and with your tax obligations, including issuing receipts or invoices when asked. Brechear captures the buyer's invoicing details and hands them to you; you issue the CFDI.

You commit to honoring what you published: if you sold spots at a given price and under given conditions, those are the conditions.

The price of an entry or a ticket is set by the promoter, and the money is the promoter's from the moment it is collected. Brechear does not sell entries or tickets on its own account.

Brechear collects in the name and on behalf of the promoter, as a commercial agent (*comisionista mercantil*): we contract expressly in the promoter's name, and for that reason we incur no obligation of our own towards you for delivering the event (Mexican Commercial Code, art. 285). The person who owes you the race, the entry, the refund and the support is the promoter.

How the money actually travels. Card payments and OXXO cash payments are processed by Stripe using *destination charges*: the charge is made on the platform's Stripe account and, within that same charge, a transfer of the promoter's share is ordered to their connected Stripe account, less Brechear's fee and less Stripe's fee. That means the money passes transitorily through Brechear's Stripe balance before reaching the promoter. We do not hold it as our own or administer it as if it were ours: it is the promoter's from the moment of collection, we receive it solely as someone collecting on another's behalf, and it moves on without delay. The payout schedule from that account to the promoter's bank is set by Stripe.

What that configuration implies. In it, as far as Stripe and the card networks are concerned, Brechear appears as the merchant of record for the charge. That is why the charge may appear on your statement with the platform's reference plus a suffix carrying the promoter's name, and why chargebacks are resolved against Brechear's balance (section 9).

What does not change because of that: the contract of sale for the entry or the ticket is between the promoter and the racer or spectator; the rules, the delivery and the refund are theirs. Brechear is the technology platform and the party that collects on their behalf.

If a refund cannot be covered by your balance. Because the charge lives on Brechear's account, a refund is paid first from Brechear's balance and your share is recovered by reversing the transfer to your connected account. If your Stripe balance has already been paid out and is short at that moment, Stripe refuses the reversal. In that case Brechear may advance your share so the buyer still receives their refund, and that advance is recovered by deducting it from your share of your organization's subsequent online sales, up to 100% of your share on each order, until covered; the buyer of those orders pays exactly the same. Every advance and every deduction shows in your event's finances and is notified to you by email. You may settle an advance another way by agreement with us. Brechear is not obliged to advance, and may prevent you from starting a refund your available balance does not cover.

Creating events, publishing your page and using check-in, the scanner, heats, scoring and reports costs nothing. There is no monthly fee and no minimum contract.

Brechear only charges when you charge. The standard rate is:

• Events in pesos: 6% + $15 MXN per paid order.
• Events in dollars: 6% + US$1 per paid order.

Two caps apply to everyone on top of that rate: never more than 10% of the order and never more than $500 MXN (US$30 on events charging in dollars).

By default the fee is added on top of the price the promoter set and is paid by the buyer. A promoter can be configured to absorb it instead, in which case it is deducted from the charge rather than added to the price. Brechear may also agree a rate different from the standard one with a promoter; those negotiated rates are configured by the Brechear team (they are not self-service) and remain subject to the same caps.

Where you see the rate that applies to you. The home page shows the platform's standard rate in pesos, not any particular promoter's rate. The rate actually charged to you is shown in the breakdown of each checkout before you pay, and the promoter sees it in their organization settings and in each event's finances.

Stripe's own processing fee (on the order of 3.6% + $3 MXN plus VAT, per Stripe's pricing) is separate and is borne by the promoter: it is deducted from the charge as an estimate calculated at checkout. The difference between that estimate and Stripe's real fee is absorbed by Brechear, in either direction.

Free entries, comp tickets and entries you record by hand (cash at the gate or imported) carry no Brechear fee.

Entries paid by bank transfer that you confirm in the platform do incur Brechear's fee: it is recorded as an amount owed by your organization. Today the platform has no invoicing and no automatic collection mechanism for that balance: it is settled as we agree directly with you. We are not promising a process that does not yet exist.

The fee amounts stated here are what the system calculates and charges. Any applicable tax is reflected in the corresponding tax receipt.

Depending on what the promoter enables, an event may collect in the following ways. They are not equivalent, and it is worth knowing how they differ:

• Card (credit or debit), in Stripe's hosted checkout. This is the only method that carries a right to a chargeback through your bank.
• Cash at OXXO, only on events charging in pesos. Stripe issues a voucher valid for up to 2 days: your entry or ticket stays pending and is confirmed once the payment is registered. If the voucher expires unpaid, the order is cancelled automatically and the spot is released.
• Bank transfer or deposit (SPEI). Here the money does not pass through Stripe or through Brechear: it goes straight into the promoter's bank account. Your spot is held as pending and it is the promoter who confirms in the platform that they received the payment. Brechear can help reconcile the deposits a promoter reports to us, but it neither processes that payment nor ever holds it.

What you should know if you pay by transfer: because there is no card and no payment processor, there is no chargeback. If the promoter does not confirm your payment, does not deliver or does not refund you, your claim is directly against them, and Stripe's dispute tools do not apply. If that protection matters to you, pay by card.

Each event charges in Mexican pesos or in US dollars, as the promoter chooses. Your card details never pass through Brechear's servers: payment is captured in Stripe's hosted checkout. From the transaction we store the payment session identifier, the amounts and the buyer's contact details.

To charge online, the promoter needs to connect a Stripe Express account from Settings → Payouts. Doing so also means accepting Stripe's terms (the Stripe Services Agreement and the Connected Account Agreement). Stripe verifies their identity, sets the payout schedule, and may request documents, hold funds or close an account under its own rules; that is outside Brechear's control.

When you enter a race or buy a ticket, your contract is with the event's promoter, not with Brechear.

• Read the refund policy and the event rules before paying: the promoter publishes them on the event page. If they published none, ask them in writing before you pay.
• Your entry and your tickets are personal and arrive by email with a QR code. Show it at registration or at the gate.
• A QR code only gets in once. Be careful about sharing screenshots.
• If the event is rescheduled, moved or cancelled, the promoter is the one who resolves it. Their contact details are on the event page.
• You can edit some of your entry details and, if the event allows it, cancel your entry from the personal link emailed to you. Those actions are logged.

Brechear can help you find your order or get in touch with the promoter, but we cannot force them to refund you and we cannot stand in for them if they fail to deliver.

If the promoter allows it, an entry can be transferred to someone else: an invitation is emailed, and whoever receives it fills in their own details and signs their own waiver. The spot and the class stay the same; the previous racer's personal data is replaced by the new one's.

Two important points:

• A transfer does not move the payment. The order still belongs to the original buyer, so any later refund goes to whoever paid, not to whoever received the spot. If money changed hands between you, that is between you.
• A cancelled or already refunded entry cannot be transferred.

Other things worth knowing: transferring costs nothing on the platform; the invitation shows your name, your class and your race number to the person you invite; and once it completes, your QR pass and your private link stop working, because the spot gets a new code. The class and the race number stay the same.

A transfer invitation expires after 72 hours; if nobody claims it, the spot stays with the original holder.

The refund policy is defined and applied by the promoter. Brechear provides the tooling to refund (fully or partially) from their dashboard, but does not decide for them and does not refund out of its own money.

How much comes back. If you paid by card or at OXXO, a refund issued from Brechear returns what you paid less Stripe's processing fee, because Stripe does not return that fee when a charge is refunded. Brechear's service fee is returned to you, unless the promoter published a policy that excludes it. If the promoter also published a policy setting a time window or retaining a percentage, what they published applies.

If you did not pay by card — bank transfer, cash at the gate, or an entry recorded by hand — the refund is handed over by the promoter directly, by whatever means you agree. In those cases the platform releases your spot and marks the order as refunded, but the money comes out of the promoter's hands, not out of a payment system: if a refund is marked and you never received it, claim it from them.

If an event is cancelled or postponed, it is the promoter's responsibility to resolve it with everyone who already paid, according to what they published and to the law.

Chargebacks. If you open a chargeback with your bank, the dispute is resolved against Brechear's balance, not against the promoter's account: that is how the *destination charges* used to process the payment work. The fact that the money was already transferred to the promoter does not change who the bank debits.

For that reason, and to be clear between Brechear and the promoter: Brechear is entitled to recover from the promoter the amount of any chargeback, refund, penalty or associated cost that Brechear has had to bear because of one of their sales. That right is exercised by deducting it from later transfers or settlements, charging it to their connected account, or claiming it from them directly, and it survives the event having already taken place or the account having been closed. The promoter agrees to give us, on request, the evidence needed to defend the dispute (published rules, refund policy, communications, access records).

We suggest talking to the promoter first: a chargeback takes weeks and almost always ends worse than a conversation.

Brechear may step in, exceptionally and at its own discretion, in cases of clear fraud or misuse of the platform.

If the promoter has no balance for the refund. A refund may require the promoter to have an available balance in their payments account; if they do not, Brechear may advance it on the promoter's behalf (see section 4) or the refund may wait until that balance exists. The promoter remains the one who owes you the refund.

Some series sell a season pass: a single payment that enters you in the events of the series. It is worth knowing exactly what you are buying.

• The pass enters you in the events of the series that were already scheduled when you bought it. It does not automatically enter you in events the series adds later.
• It is a prepayment: you are paying for events that have not happened yet and whose dates or venues may change.
• If an event in the series is cancelled, rescheduled or never takes place, the series promoter is the one who answers for it, according to what they published and to the law. Brechear does not guarantee that the events will happen.
• Being transparent about how the platform works today: if the promoter deletes a date from the series, the entry you held in it disappears with it, and that triggers no automatic refund and no automatic notice. There is also no way yet to refund a single date of a pass: refunding the pass releases all of them. Any adjustment is agreed with the promoter.
• The pass has a fixed price; it takes no pricing phases and no discount codes, and it is only offered when the series has at least two dates still to come and your class exists with room in all of them.
• You sign the waiver when you buy it, and each event may ask you for additional requirements on arrival.

Before buying a pass, check which events it includes and what the series' refund policy says.

Some events offer damage protection when you book your spot. It is not insurance, and the difference matters:

• It is a contractual limit on what you would have to pay if you damage the vehicle or equipment lent or rented to you, up to the stated deductible.
• The promoter covers it out of their own resources. There is no insurer behind it, there is no policy, and Brechear neither contributes money nor answers for it. Brechear is not an insurer or an insurance intermediary either: that is why this product may not be called “insurance” or a “policy” on the platform.
• You are always offered an alternative: decline it and instead leave the promoter a security deposit for the stated amount, remaining liable yourself for the cost of repairs. That alternative is what makes this a contractual protection rather than insurance. The deposit is agreed and collected by the promoter directly; the platform only records the amount — it does not hold it and does not place a hold on your card.
• Neither option is pre-selected, and your decision is recorded — whether you take it or decline it — along with the text you accepted, your signature, the date, your IP address and your browser.

The scope, the deductible and the price are set by the promoter for each event, and the text shown to you when you accept is the one that governs.

Some events carry group accident insurance for participants. Where it exists, it works like this:

• The policy is the promoter's. They are the policyholder before the insurer they chose themselves, and they pay the premium. Brechear is not an insurer, not the policyholder, not an intermediary and not a beneficiary, and does not answer for the cover, for its validity or for the payment of a claim.
• What Brechear does is administer the data: collect your consent, compile the list of insured persons, and make it available to the promoter so they can hand it to their insurer.
• Because cover for accidental death requires your written consent (Mexico's Insurance Contract Law, art. 167), the consent text is shown to you when you register and the version you accepted is stored, with your signature, the date, your IP address and your browser. If you do not consent, you are not included as an insured person; and if consent arrives once cover has already started, it is refused rather than half-accepted.
• To include you we need your full name, CURP and date of birth, and you are asked for a beneficiary and their relationship to you. The sum insured is set by the policy, not by you.
• Minors: the law does not allow death cover for children under 12, so they are not included. From 12 to 17, a parent or guardian consents and signs.

The detail of what data is stored, what is handed to the insurer and what is not, is in the Privacy Notice.

Off-road is a dangerous sport. Racing, crewing, riding along as a passenger or standing on the sidelines carries a real risk of serious injury, property damage and even death.

Most events ask you to sign a waiver. That waiver is an agreement between the participant (or their parent or guardian, if a minor) and the promoter. Brechear is not a party to it: we only store the evidence of the signature — the accepted text, the typed signature, the date and time, the IP address and the browser — so the promoter can prove it later. On group rides, every passenger signs their own.

Signing a waiver does not erase the rights the law does not let you waive, does not release the promoter from their duties of prevention and safety, and does not release them from answering for their own negligence. A waiver does not turn an avoidable accident into an assumed risk.

What Brechear does not do: we do not inspect vehicles, we do not check courses or obstacles, we do not supervise flaggers or medical services, we do not validate anyone's experience, and we do not verify that the promoter holds the permits the law requires of them. Where the platform administers the data of a policy (section 12), we also do not verify on your behalf that the cover is sufficient or that it is in force: that is on the promoter and their insurer.

When you register or buy tickets, the promoter may email you about that event: reminders, access instructions, schedule changes, results and operational notices. Those emails are theirs, they are sent using Brechear's infrastructure, and they can only be addressed to that event's audience.

Emails that are not strictly necessary for your entry or your purchase carry an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and your mail client may also show an “Unsubscribe” button. Unsubscribing is immediate and does not affect your spot: you will still receive your pass, your tickets, your receipts and the essential information about the event.

Using that data for anything else — selling advertising, promoting unrelated events, handing it to a third party — is a breach of these Terms by the promoter and grounds for suspension.

Do not use Brechear to:

• Publish fake or non-existent events, or events you have no right to organize.
• Charge for something you do not intend to deliver, or to launder money or defraud anyone.
• Sell raffles, draws or games of chance without the prior SEGOB permit the law requires.
• Upload illegal or abusive content, or content that infringes someone else's trademarks or copyright.
• Use racer or buyer data for anything other than running your event and communicating about it.
• Try to reach another organization's data, bypass roles and permissions, or bulk-extract information from the platform.
• Interfere with the service: automated scanning, overloading, reverse engineering or impersonation.

Marking an entry as paid when it was not, altering results or faking a waiver are grounds for immediate suspension.

The content you upload is yours: event name and description, photos, logos, rules, information and results. We claim no ownership over it.

By publishing it you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display and distribute it within Brechear and in the links shared from the platform (for example, your event's preview card on WhatsApp, or the public event index). The license lasts as long as the content is published.

You confirm that you have the right to use that content, including your sponsors' photos and logos.

The software, the Brechear brand, the platform design and everything you did not upload belong to Brechear.

If something published on Brechear infringes your rights, write to us at hola@brechear.com with: what the content is and where it is (the exact address), what right you hold and why you believe it is infringed, your contact details, and a statement that you are acting in good faith. We review every notice and may remove or disable the reported content and inform whoever published it, who may respond. This is the notice-and-takedown procedure contemplated by Mexico's Federal Copyright Law; repeat infringement can cost the account.

Race results, live leaderboards and series standings are public event information and stay visible on the public pages.

Using Brechear means that you, and the people who register or buy tickets, share personal data. How we handle it, who we share it with and how ARCO rights are exercised is set out in the Privacy Notice.

If you are a promoter, you receive the data of everyone who registers for your event and you become a controller of it in your own right: you must handle it lawfully, publish your own privacy notice, use it only to run the event and communicate about it, and respond to the requests your participants send you.

We work to keep the platform up, and especially so on race day. Even so, Brechear is offered without a guarantee of continuous availability: there can be maintenance, provider outages or no signal out in the desert.

That is why the gate scanner works offline and queues what it records, and why the printable sheets (roster, check-in, heats, announcer sheet) exist: print them as a backup before the event.

We may change, add or retire features. If we retire something important, we will give reasonable notice.

Brechear is provided “as is”, without implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that the platform is error-free, nor that the results entered by the officials are correct: those are entered and validated by the promoter's team.

Brechear is not responsible for what happens at an event: injuries, accidents, damage to vehicles or third parties, cancellations, date changes, promoter breaches, sporting decisions, penalties or results. The promoter answers for those.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brechear's total liability to you, on any ground related to the platform, is limited to the greater of: (a) $5,000 MXN, or (b) the total platform fees Brechear collected on the related transactions during the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. We are not liable for indirect damages, lost profits or lost opportunity.

That peso floor is deliberate: at events where the promoter absorbs the fee, the buyer pays Brechear no fee at all, and a limit computed only on fees charged to the buyer would be zero. A limit of zero amounts to excluding liability, and that is not valid.

None of the above limits the non-waivable rights Mexican law gives you as a consumer, nor does it exclude liability for willful misconduct, bad faith, or damages the law does not allow to be limited.

You can close your account whenever you like by writing to us. If you have events with active sales, you have to settle those with your buyers first.

We may suspend or close an account that breaches these Terms, puts buyers at risk or uses the platform to defraud people. Except in serious or urgent cases, we will warn you first and give you a chance to fix it.

Closing an account does not cancel what is already owed: outstanding fee balances and the right of recovery in section 9 remain in force.

If your account is closed, we keep order and waiver records for as long as the law and the defense of possible claims require, as explained in the Privacy Notice.

We may update these Terms. The version in force is the one on this page, identified by the last-updated date shown above.

If a change is significant — for example the platform fee, the way money is handled, the limitation of liability or how disputes are resolved — we will ask you to accept the new version expressly before it applies to you: on entering the platform or before your next purchase, and we will record which version you accepted and when. Promoters with active accounts are also emailed before it takes effect.

Continuing to use Brechear does not amount to accepting a new version. Until you accept a significant change, your relationship with us is governed by the version you did accept, and transactions you already completed are governed by the version in force when you made them.

Minor changes — fixing wording, updating a contact detail, clarifying something without taking rights away from you — are published with a new date.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the United Mexican States.

If you are a consumer, you keep every right granted to you by the Federal Consumer Protection Law, including the ability to turn to PROFECO, and you may sue in the courts of your own domicile: nothing written here obliges you to litigate in another city.

For disputes between Brechear and a promoter (who is not acting as a consumer), the parties submit to the competent courts of the City of Puebla, Puebla.

Before it comes to that, write to us at hola@brechear.com. Almost everything gets solved by talking.
