9. Purchases and Returns

Some features of the Services might allow you to purchase products or services (for example, booking a golf session with a guide through the platform, or buying golf-related merchandise). By making a purchase through the Services, you agree to the following terms:

  1. Orders and Payment:You must provide a valid payment method (such as a credit card or other accepted payment service) and accurate billing information when making a purchase. You agree to pay all charges at the prices displayed to you for the items or services you’ve selected, as well as any shipping fees, handling charges, taxes, or other applicable amounts. All payments are to be made in the currency specified (if not specified, U.S. Dollars). If your payment method fails or your account is past due, we may collect fees owed using other collection mechanisms (including charging other payment methods on file, and/or retaining collection agencies and legal counsel).
  2. Pricing and Availability:Prices for products or services are subject to change without notice. We strive to display accurate price information, but errors may occur. If an error in pricing is discovered (e.g., an item is listed at an incorrect price), we reserve the right to cancel or refuse any orders placed for that item at the incorrect price. If your credit card or account has already been charged for the purchase and your order is canceled due to a pricing error, we will issue a credit or refund in the amount of the incorrect price. All products and services are subject to availability, and we cannot guarantee that items will be in stock or available when you order.
  3. Order Confirmation & Cancellation:After you place an order, we may send you an order confirmation email with details of the items/services you have ordered. This email is an acknowledgment of your order, not an acceptance of it. We reserve the right to accept or reject any order for any reason, including suspicion of fraud, unauthorized or illegal transaction, or where an item is out of stock. If we cancel an order, we will refund any amounts paid for that order.
  4. Third-Party Payment Processors:We may use third-party payment processors to handle payment transactions (for example, Stripe, PayPal, App Store in-app purchases, etc.). Your payment information is handled by these third parties pursuant to their terms and privacy policies. By making a purchase, you agree to be bound by the applicable terms of service of the payment processor in addition to this Agreement.
  5. Return and Refund Policy: All purchases made through the Services are subject to ourReturn Policy(available at the link provided in this Agreement). The Return Policy is hereby incorporated in its entirety into this Agreement. The Return Policy outlines the conditions under which you may return a product or cancel a service for a refund or exchange, the time limits for returns, and any items that may be final sale or non-refundable. Before making a purchase, please review the Return Policy. By completing a purchase, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the Return Policy.
  6. In general, if you are dissatisfied with a product or service you obtained through the Services, please contact us as described in the Return Policy. We will make reasonable efforts to address your concerns consistent with that policy. Certain products (for example, perishable goods, custom-made items, or digital content) may not be returnable or refundable except as required by law.
  7. In-App Purchases:If any portion of the Services allows purchasing through mobile app marketplaces (such as buying a premium feature via Apple App Store or Google Play in-app purchase), those purchases may also be governed by the app store’s own terms and conditions. For example, purchases made through the Apple iOS application are subject to Apple’s payment terms and may be billed by Apple, not directly by the Company. Likewise, refund requests for such in-app purchases may need to be directed to the app store platform if their policies require it. We will adhere to the app store policies for in-app transactions.
  8. Promotions and Coupons:Any promotions, discount codes, or special offers (collectively “Promotions”) made available through the Services are subject to their own terms and may be terminated or modified at any time. Promotions cannot be applied retroactively to past purchases and are often limited to one per user and/or one per order. If you use a Promotion in violation of its terms or this Agreement, we reserve the right to cancel the order or charge you the full price.
  9. By making a purchase, you also represent that you are using the purchased product or service only for its intended purpose and not for resale or unauthorized distribution.

11. Third-Party Content and Links

11.1  The  Services may include content provided by third parties, or links to websites and resources that are not owned or controlled by the Company (collectively, “Third-Party Content”). For example, users or other third parties might post links to external websites, or we might display information (such as golf course data, tips, or advertisements) provided by third-party sources.

11.2  No Endorsement or Control: The Company does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any Third-Party Content. Third-Party Content is provided for your convenience or information only. We do not control or vet third-party websites or content. This means any information, statements, opinions, services or other content made available by third parties (including other users) belong to those third parties, not to the Company. We make no representations or warranties concerning Third-Party Content’s accuracy, validity, timeliness, completeness, quality, or reliability.

11.3 At Your Own Risk: If you access third-party websites or content via links on our Services, you do so at your own risk. When you click a third-party link, you are leaving the Services and the terms and policies of the third-party site will apply, not this Agreement. For example, if someone posts a link to a golf equipment store and you click it, that store’s privacy policy and terms of sale will govern your visit and any purchase. The Company is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage you incur by dealing with third parties. This includes if you follow advice from a user that leads you to a third-party service, or if you engage with an advertiser or sponsor through our platform.

11.4 Third-Party Services or Integrations: If the Services integrates or uses any third-party services (for example, a mapping service to show golf course locations, or a social media login feature), your use of those features may be governed by the third party’s terms. We will try to indicate when a feature is subject to additional third-party terms (for instance, using a Google Maps feature in the app would be subject to Google’s Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and Privacy Policy). By using a feature that relies on Third-Party Content or services, you agree to the third party’s applicable terms as well.

11.5 Transactions with Third Parties: Any transactions, communications, or dealings between you and any third party found on or through the Services are solely between you and that third party. This includes, for example, if you hire or meet up with a golf coach you found through our Services, or if you click on an advertisement and buy something from that advertiser. The Company is not a party to those dealings. If a dispute arises between you and any such third party, we will not be responsible for it and you release the Company (and our officers, directors, employees, agents, and affiliates) from any claims or damages arising out of or in any way connected with such dispute.

11.6 Advertisements: The Services may display advertisements or promotions from third parties. Your dealings with advertisers and your participation in promotions are solely between you and the advertiser. Again, the Company is not responsible for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as a result of those dealings or as a result of the presence of third-party ads on our Services.

11.7 External Links: Inclusion of any link on the Services does not imply that the Company endorses the linked site or service. We cannot guarantee that any third-party links will be functional, safe, or accurate. Always use caution when clicking on unfamiliar links, and read third-party privacy policies and terms.

11.8 While we aim to provide helpful resources and a great network through the Services, we are not responsible for third-party offerings. You agree thatthe Company  will not be liable for any content, actions, or omissions of any third parties, and that you use or rely on Third-Party Content solely at your own discretion and risk.

20. Miscellaneous

  1. Entire Agreement: This Agreement (along with any other agreements or policies expressly incorporated by reference, including, without limitation, the Privacy Policy, Return Policy and Company Mobile App End User License Agreement) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding your use of the Services. They supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, or communications between you and us, whether written or oral, regarding such subject matter. In other words, this is the definitive agreement—any earlier promises or discussions that are not included here are not binding.
  2. Waiver: Our failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement(such as not immediately enforcing a rule against you) shall not operate as a waiver of that right or provision. Similarly, any single or partial exercise of a right or power does not prevent us from later enforcing that or any other provision. If we do explicitly waive any provision or right, we will do so in writing, and that waiver will apply only to the specific instance and specific provision stated.
  3. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. In other words, if one part of the contract is void, the rest should still apply as much as possible.
  4. Assignment:  The Company may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement for any reason without your consent. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors and assigns. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations hereunder without our prior written consent. Any assignment in violation of this provision will be null and void.

Relationship of the Parties: You and the Company  are independent contractors.  This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency relationship between you and us. Neither party has the authority to bind or act on behalf of the other in any way unless expressly stated otherwise in this Agreement.
  6. Third-Party Beneficiaries: ), Except as explicitly set forth in Section 6.2.2 regarding only the App Store Specific Terms set forth therein, there are no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.  This means no person or entity other than you and the Agreements (and permitted assigns) has any right to enforce any of this Agreement.
  7. Force Majeure: The Company will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of our obligations (except payment obligations, if any) due to causes beyond our reasonable control, such as strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, terrorism, epidemics, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, or Internet/telecommunications failures.

  10. Headings and Interpretation: The section titles and headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
