Terms of Service

Effective date: April 27, 2026

These Terms ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and GolfGames ("we", "us") and govern your use of the GolfGames mobile app, website, and related services (together, the "Service"). Please read them. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.

1. Eligibility and account

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your country to consent to online services) to use the Service. If you're under the age of majority where you live, your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms on your behalf.

You're responsible for everything that happens under your account, including keeping your password secure and your contact information up to date. If you suspect unauthorized use, email support@golfgames.gg right away.

2. License to use the app

We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the GolfGames app on a device you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

You may not (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the app; (b) resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service; (c) use the Service to build a competing product; (d) interfere with or disrupt the Service; or (e) use any automated means to access the Service in a way that exceeds normal personal use.

3. Pro subscriptions

Some features ("Pro features") require a paid subscription. We currently offer monthly and annual Pro plans, with pricing displayed in the app at the time of purchase.

• Billing. Subscriptions are sold and billed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), depending on the platform you use to subscribe. We never see or store your payment details.
• Auto-renewal. Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• Cancellation. You can cancel any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on iOS, or in the Google Play app on Android. Cancelling stops future renewals; you keep Pro access until the end of the current paid period.
• Refunds. Refund requests are handled by the platform that billed you (Apple or Google) and are governed by their refund policies. We can't issue refunds directly for store purchases.
• Free trials. If we offer a free trial, you'll be charged at the end of the trial unless you cancel before it ends.
• Price changes. If we change the price of an existing subscription, we'll notify you in advance and (where required) ask you to consent before the new price takes effect.

4. Founding Member

For our first 500 annual subscribers, we offer a "Founding Member" annual plan at a reduced price ($14.99/year at launch). The benefit, while you remain continuously subscribed, is that your annual price will not increase as long as the offer holds. If you cancel and later resubscribe, you may not be eligible for the Founding Member rate. Founding Member entitlements are otherwise the same as the standard Pro plan.

5. Your content and conduct

"Your Content" means information you create or upload — scores, round notes, profile fields, messages to support, and so on. You keep ownership of Your Content. By using the Service, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, transmit, display, and process Your Content as needed to operate the Service and provide it to you and to people you've shared it with.

You promise not to upload content that is illegal, infringes someone else's rights, harasses or threatens anyone, or attempts to circumvent the Service's security. We may remove content that violates these Terms.

6. Our intellectual property

The GolfGames name, logo, app, website, designs, and underlying software are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. Nothing in these Terms transfers any of those rights to you. You're free to take screenshots and share your scores publicly.

7. Disclaimer of warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, or that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. We don't warrant that handicap calculations or scoring outputs are official, USGA-sanctioned, or appropriate for tournament submission. Use the Service for your own enjoyment, not as the official scoring authority for a competitive event unless your competition organizer has approved it.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) twenty U.S. dollars ($20). Some jurisdictions don't allow these limitations, in which case they apply only to the extent permitted by law.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of (a) your use of the Service in violation of these Terms or any law, or (b) your infringement of someone else's rights.

10. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms, if we're required to by law, or if continuing to provide the Service to you would expose us to liability. If we terminate your account, we'll give you a chance to export your data unless doing so would be unsafe (for example, in cases of suspected fraud).

11. Apple and Google terms

If you got the app from the Apple App Store, you and we acknowledge that these Terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content. To the extent these Terms provide for usage rules less restrictive than the Apple Media Services Terms, the Apple terms control. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you got the app from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service. To the extent these Terms conflict with the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement, the Google terms control as between us and Google.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri in the United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree that the state and federal courts located in Jackson County, Missouri have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you're a consumer in the EEA or UK, nothing in these Terms removes mandatory consumer protections you have under the law of the country where you live.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If a change is material, we'll notify you in-app or by email before it takes effect. Your continued use of the Service after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

14. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
• No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision isn't a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.
• Force majeure. We're not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
