Terms of Service

GolfSync has a free tier and paid tiers. Paid subscriptions are billed monthly or annually through Stripe — by subscribing, you authorize us to charge your payment method automatically at the start of each billing period.

Paid tiers are live. Paid plans are available now and are processed through Stripe. Your plan, price, and billing cadence (monthly or annually) are shown at checkout and in your account settings before you're charged.

Cancellation: Cancel any time from your account settings. You keep full access through the end of your current paid period — we don't prorate. For weird edge cases (you got double-charged, you canceled before the renewal hit but the timing was off, etc.), email support@golfsync.io and we'll sort it out.

After cancellation: Your account drops to free-tier access — we keep your rounds, scores, and friends list around in case you come back. Want everything gone? Delete your account from settings and we permanently wipe it.

Payments Terms. Payments — including subscriptions, tournament entry fees, in-round purchases, and charitable contributions — are also governed by our Payments Terms. To the extent anything in these Terms of Service conflicts with the Payments Terms on a payment question, the Payments Terms govern.

Some tournaments and events on GolfSync charge an entry fee. When you register and pay an entry fee, you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your payment method for the amount shown at checkout, including any applicable processing or platform fees disclosed at that time.

Entry fees are collected on behalf of the organizer running the event. Eligibility rules, refund policies, cancellation terms, and how the event is run are set by that organizer, not by Golf Sync LLC. Unless the organizer's stated policy or applicable law requires otherwise, entry fees are non-refundable once a payment has been processed. Questions about a specific event should go to that event's organizer; the Payments Terms govern the mechanics of the charge.

Some events let you make a charitable contribution through GolfSync. When you contribute, you authorize us (through Stripe) to charge your payment method for the amount you select.

Golf Sync LLC is not the charity. We facilitate the payment and pass contributions along to the organizer or the designated recipient; we are not the charitable recipient of your contribution. Golf Sync LLC does not issue tax receipts or acknowledgment letters, and does not represent that any contribution is tax-deductible — whether it is depends on the recipient and your own circumstances. Consult the recipient organization or your tax advisor.

Because contributions are passed along to the recipient, they are non-refundable once a payment has been processed, except where applicable law requires otherwise. The Payments Terms govern the mechanics of the charge.

These features are not currently offered. GolfSync does not at this time provide raffles, 50/50 draws, or online auctions for events run on the Service. Any references to these features in demonstration materials describe planned functionality that is not available to organizers or participants.

If and when these features become available, additional terms will apply. Raffles, 50/50 draws, and similar games of chance are regulated as charitable gaming or gambling in many U.S. states and may require licenses, age restrictions, and tax reporting; organizers will be solely responsible for compliance with the laws applicable to their event and jurisdiction. [LAWYER: full raffle/50-50/auction terms to be drafted before these features launch — see review memo.]

You keep ownership of what you post. Scores, photos, comments, reviews, event details, and anything else you submit to the Service (“Your Content”) stays yours. These Terms don't transfer ownership of Your Content to us.

You grant us a license to run and promote the Service. By submitting Your Content, you grant Golf Sync LLC a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt, analyze, and distribute Your Content in order to operate, improve, and market the Service — including generating stats, leaderboards, and aggregated insights, and showcasing the product in promotional materials. This license lasts as long as you keep the content on the Service; if you delete Your Content or your account, the license ends for future use, except for copies retained in backups or already shared with others, and for aggregated or de-identified data that no longer identifies you.

You're responsible for what you post. You represent that you have the rights to submit Your Content and that it doesn't violate anyone else's rights or these Terms.

Please read this section carefully — it affects how disputes are resolved and limits your ability to bring a class action or have a jury trial.

Binding arbitration. Except as noted below, you and Golf Sync LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. The arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider under its consumer arbitration rules, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

Class-action waiver. You and Golf Sync LLC agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any class or representative proceeding.

Small-claims carve-out. Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing an individual claim in small-claims court if the claim qualifies and stays in that court. Either party may also seek injunctive or equitable relief in court to protect intellectual property or unauthorized access to the Service.

Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the [state of formation], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent any dispute is not subject to arbitration, you and Golf Sync LLC consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in [state of formation].
