Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Golform ("the Service"), operated by Golform ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the Service.

2. Description of Service

Golform is a software-as-a-service platform that enables golf tournament hosts to manage events, collect registrations and payments, track scores, and publish leaderboards. The Service includes the web application at golform.com and all related tools and features.

3. Accounts

• You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account.
• You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
• You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
• You must be at least 18 years old to create a host account.
• We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

Host accounts require a paid subscription to activate tournaments and accept registrations. Subscriptions are billed monthly through Stripe.

• Billing: you will be charged at the beginning of each billing cycle. All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.
• Cancellation: you may cancel your subscription at any time through the Stripe Customer Portal. Your access continues until the end of the current billing period. After cancellation, existing tournaments remain accessible in read-only mode.
• Refunds: subscription fees are non-refundable except where required by law.
• Price changes: we may change subscription pricing with 30 days' notice. Continued use after a price change constitutes acceptance of the new pricing.

5. Tournament Revenue and Stripe Connect

Tournament hosts connect their own Stripe account to collect registration and sponsorship payments. Golform does not collect, hold, or process tournament revenue on behalf of hosts.

• Hosts are the merchant of record for all tournament payments.
• Standard Stripe processing fees (currently 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction) apply and are the responsibility of the host.
• Hosts are responsible for any refunds, disputes, or chargebacks related to their tournament payments.
• Hosts must comply with Stripe's terms of service and applicable payment regulations.

• License to us: you grant us a limited license to use, store, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing the Service.
• Data export: you may export your tournament data at any time while your account is active.
