Terms & Conditions

1. Who you are contracting with

The GolfTimr service is sold and provided by Jake Beardsley, a sole trader trading as GolfTimr (referred to in these terms as "GolfTimr", "we", "us" or "our"). By creating an account, subscribing, or otherwise using the service, you are entering into a contract with Jake Beardsley as the seller.

2. Acceptance of these terms

By registering for or continuing to use GolfTimr, you agree to these terms. If you are signing up on behalf of a golf club or other organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation. If you use GolfTimr as an individual, you confirm you are of legal age to enter a contract.

3. The service

GolfTimr is web-based software that lets golf clubs import tee sheets, track group progress through checkpoints at the 9th and 18th, and monitor pace of play. Golfers use public checkpoint pages, usually via QR codes, to record their times. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the service in line with the plan you have selected.

4. Your account

You must provide accurate club and contact information and keep it up to date. You are responsible for keeping account credentials confidential and for all activity carried out under your account. Tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

5. Acceptable use

You must not misuse the service. In particular, you must not:

• use GolfTimr for any unlawful purpose, or in breach of applicable law or regulation;
• commit or facilitate fraud, send spam, or upload misleading or abusive content;
• infringe the intellectual property or privacy rights of anyone else;
• interfere with the security or integrity of the service — including introducing malware, probing or scanning our systems, bypassing technical limits, or scraping data;
• reverse engineer, resell, sublicense, or redistribute the service without our written consent.

6. Intellectual property

GolfTimr retains all right, title and interest in the service, including its software, documentation, design and branding. Nothing in these terms transfers any of that ownership to you. Tee sheet data and other content you upload remains yours; you grant us a limited licence to host and process it solely to provide the service to you.

7. Payment, subscriptions and taxes

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Payment, billing frequency, renewals, cancellations, taxes and refunds are governed by Paddle's Buyer Terms. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period unless cancelled. Founding-club pricing, where offered, applies for as long as the subscription remains active and uninterrupted.

8. Service availability

We work hard to keep GolfTimr available and accurate, but we do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free. Maintenance, third-party outages and factors outside our reasonable control may affect availability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

9. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access to the service where there is a material breach of these terms, non-payment, a security or fraud risk, or repeated or serious policy violations. Where practical we will give notice and an opportunity to put things right. You may cancel your subscription at any time; access continues until the end of the paid period, after which club data may be deleted after a reasonable export window.

10. Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, GolfTimr is not liable for indirect, consequential or special losses, including loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill. Our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the service is limited to the fees you paid in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms excludes liability for fraud, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify GolfTimr against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from content you upload, your unlawful use of the service, or your breach of these terms.

12. Changes, law and disputes

We may update these terms from time to time; material changes will be notified to account holders. These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. You may not assign these terms without our consent; we may assign them as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control.
