Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and teevyx (Belgium), the company that operates the Service ("we", "us", "the Service"). By creating an account or using the Service, you confirm you have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of an organisation (for example, a golf society or club), you represent that you have authority to do so.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service (16 in European Economic Area countries that set that as the GDPR Art. 8 default; see our Privacy Policy). The Service is not designed for children below those ages, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.

You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of your country, or if your access has been previously suspended for breach of these Terms.

3. Your account

You are responsible for the security of your account: keep your sign-in credentials private, enable a passkey or strong password, and notify us promptly at hello@teevyx.com if you suspect unauthorised access.

You may delete your account from inside the app at any time (Settings → Delete my account). Deletion is processed within 30 days. Some data — for example, scores attached to other players' tournament records — is retained as anonymised history so leaderboards remain consistent, as described in the Privacy Policy.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Service to break the law, including the rules of golf governing bodies you have voluntarily subjected yourself to (e.g., the WHS rules of handicapping)
• Submit false scores or impersonate other players
• Harass, abuse, defame, or threaten other users
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from the Service except to the extent permitted by mandatory law
• Send unsolicited messages, spam, or content that infringes someone else's rights
• Probe, scan, or attack our infrastructure (good-faith security research is welcomed — see the Privacy Policy contact)
• Use the Service to operate a competing product or to scrape our data at scale

5. Your content

You retain ownership of the content you upload (avatars, club logos, comments, scores). You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, transmit, display, and otherwise process that content to the extent necessary to run the Service for you and the other users you intend to share with — for example, displaying your score to your fourball or your club logo on a public scoreboard.

You represent and warrant that

• You own or have the rights to share the content you upload
• The content does not infringe any third party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights
• You will not upload content that depicts another person without their consent

DMCA & copyright takedowns

If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, send a notice to legal@teevyx.com with the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): identification of the work, location of the infringing material, your contact details, a good-faith statement of belief, an accuracy / authority statement, and your signature. We respond within 10 business days. We terminate accounts that repeatedly infringe.

6. Societies and clubs

A "society" (sometimes called a "club" in the app, depending on tab) is a group of users who organise rounds and events together. The user who creates a society becomes its administrator and may add or remove members and delegate admin rights.

Society administrators agree to act fairly toward members, provide accurate information about events, and comply with any local laws relevant to their society's real-world activities (e.g., consumer-protection law if they sell tournament entries to non-members).

We are not a party to the relationship between a society and its members. If a dispute arises about a tournament, an entry fee, or a refund, the society is the counterparty — we will help facilitate communication but cannot adjudicate.

7. Payments and our platform fee

Where a society uses the Service to collect payments from members for real-world golf services (tee times, trips, tournament entries), payments are processed by Stripe. The society is the seller of record and is responsible for delivering the service to the buyer.

We charge a platform service fee of 1.5% + €0.25 per successful transaction. Stripe also takes its own processing fee (typically €0.25 for Bancontact or 1.4% + €0.25 for cards) on top. The combined breakdown is shown to you before you complete a purchase.

Refunds, chargebacks, and disputes are handled between the society and the member, with Stripe as the payments processor. Our platform fee is non-refundable except where required by law or where we determine it should be refunded.

Where required by EU Directive 2021/514 (DAC7), we report society sellers' transaction data annually to the Belgian tax authority. We will notify affected sellers in advance, by 10 January of each reporting year.

8. Handicaps and scoring

Where the Service displays a Handicap Index next to your name, the value is one you supplied or that you imported from your national federation. We do not compute or issue an official handicap index, and the values shown are not verified against the WHS Authorized Association system.

"Handicap Index", "WHS", "Course Rating", and "Slope Rating" are trademarks of the United States Golf Association and The R&A. We use them descriptively to refer to the official values you supply.

Scores you record in the Service are for entertainment and tournament-management purposes and do not automatically update your official handicap record at your federation.

9. Changes to the service

We continuously improve the Service. We may add, remove, or modify features at any time. We will give reasonable notice for material adverse changes that affect a feature you rely on (for example, by surfacing an in-app banner or sending email).

For material changes to these Terms — particularly around your rights, our liability, or how we charge — we will ask you to re-accept the Terms before you continue using the Service.

10. Termination

You may terminate your account at any time from inside the app (Settings → Delete my account). We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms or if your use of the Service exposes us, other users, or third parties to legal or security risk.

On termination, sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive — including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnity, and governing law — continue to apply.

11. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that crash reports will always reach us, or that notifications will always be delivered. We do not guarantee the accuracy of course data, slope ratings, or third-party-supplied handicap values.

Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer under the law of your residence.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of your use of the Service.

Our total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service is capped at the greater of (a) €100, or (b) the platform fees you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim.

These limitations do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, fraud, or any other liability that cannot be excluded under the laws of your residence (especially mandatory consumer-protection law).

13. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these Terms, your content, or your misuse of the Service. We will tell you promptly if a claim arises and cooperate with your defence.

14. Governing law & dispute resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of Belgium (excluding conflict-of-laws rules). Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought exclusively before the competent courts of Brussels, Belgium.

If you are an EU consumer, you keep the protections that mandatory law in your country of residence affords you, and you may also bring a claim before your local courts. The European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution platform is available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
