Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Golf Thing, operated by [Legal Entity Name] ("Golf Thing", "we", "us"), and govern your use of our website and services (the "Services"). By using the Services, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Services.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Services and at least 18 to create a course operator account or enter into any business arrangement through the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet these requirements and that the information you provide is accurate.

2. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity under your account. Tell us promptly at support@golfthing.la if you suspect unauthorized use. You may delete your account at any time from Your Privacy Choices.

3. What Golf Thing is

Golf Thing is a discovery and connection platform for Southern California golf culture. We help golfers find courses, creators, and leagues, and we pass along the inquiries you submit. We are not a party to, and don't guarantee, any booking, shoot, membership, lesson, payment, or other arrangement you make with a course, creator, league, or other user. Any such arrangement is solely between you and that party. Rates, availability, and details shown on the Services may be samples or estimates and are not offers or guarantees.

4. Your content

You keep ownership of the content you submit (such as posts, rounds, profiles, and images). You grant Golf Thing a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, display, and use that content to operate and promote the Services. You represent that you have the rights to the content you submit and that it doesn't violate any law or third-party right. You're responsible for your content.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

We may remove content and suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

6. Courses, creators, and organizers

If you list a course, profile, or league, you represent that you're authorized to do so and that the information is accurate. You're responsible for the inquiries and personal information you receive through the Services and agree to handle them lawfully, including in accordance with applicable privacy laws. Course operator accounts may add team members; the account owner is responsible for their team members' use.

7. Third-party services

The Services may integrate with or link to third-party services (for example, tee-sheet or booking providers). Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and policies, and we're not responsible for them.

8. Disclaimers

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any information on the Services is accurate or complete.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Golf Thing and its operators won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the Services. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Services won't exceed one hundred dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so some of these may not apply to you.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Golf Thing and its operators from any claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or third-party right.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Services and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or if we discontinue the Services. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we'll change the "Last updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
