Terms of Service — SQR1 Golf

Last updated: [DATE] · SQR1 Golf, [COMPANY NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using SQR1 Golf. By creating an account or using any part of the service, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

1. About SQR1 Golf

SQR1 Golf ("we", "us", "our") is a golf performance tracking platform operated by [COMPANY NAME], a company registered in England and Wales under company number [COMPANY NUMBER], with registered address at [REGISTERED ADDRESS].

The service is accessible at [DOMAIN] and through related applications. These Terms govern your use of the platform in its entirety.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account. By registering you confirm you meet this requirement. You must provide accurate and complete information when registering and are responsible for keeping your credentials secure.

3. Account Types

SQR1 Golf offers two account types:

Golfer accounts — for individual golfers tracking their own performance, with access to all core features.
Coach accounts — for golf coaches and instructors. Coach accounts allow access to connected clients' performance data subject to client consent. Available as a free tier (up to 5 clients) or a paid Pro tier (unlimited clients with additional search functionality).

You may only hold one account per person. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent limits is prohibited.

4. Subscriptions and Payments

Certain features require a paid subscription. All prices are in GBP and include VAT where applicable. Payments are processed securely by Stripe. We do not store your card details.

Billing and trials: When you subscribe, you will be charged according to the terms presented at the time of subscription. Some subscriptions may include a free trial period, during which you will not be charged. If a trial is offered, the trial terms (including duration and whether it converts to a paid subscription automatically) will be clearly disclosed before you subscribe. You may cancel during any trial period without charge. For subscriptions without a trial, you will be charged immediately upon subscription.

Renewal: Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period (monthly or annually) unless cancelled.

Cancellation: You may cancel at any time from your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and we do not offer refunds for partial periods.

Account deletion: If you delete your account while an active subscription is in place, your Stripe subscription will be cancelled immediately and no refund will be provided for any unused portion of the billing period. Your account data will be retained for 12 months following deletion, during which time you may reinstate your account by re-registering. If you reinstate your account, you will need to set up a new subscription — your previous subscription will not be restored. After 12 months, your data will be permanently deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

Price changes: We will provide at least 30 days' notice before any price increase takes effect for existing subscribers.

Points: Points purchased as one-off bundles are non-refundable once credited. Points have no cash value and cannot be transferred between accounts.

Promotional offers: We may offer promotional pricing, discount codes, or other special offers from time to time. These offers are subject to specific terms and conditions communicated at the time of the offer and cannot be combined unless explicitly stated.

5. Coach and Client Relationships

Coach accounts are self-declared. SQR1 Golf does not verify that any user registering as a coach is a qualified golf professional, holds any coaching certification, is a member of any governing body, or has any relevant experience whatsoever. Coach account status is assigned solely on the basis of information provided by the user at registration. Clients are solely responsible for satisfying themselves as to a coach's suitability, qualifications, identity, and credentials before accepting a connection request or sharing any personal data with them. SQR1 Golf accepts no liability for any loss, harm, or damage arising from a client's decision to connect with or be coached by any user on the platform.

The following rules apply to all coach and client interactions on the platform:

A coach may only access a client's data once the client has explicitly accepted a connection request.
Clients may remove a coach's access at any time from their account settings, after which the coach immediately loses all access.
Coaches must not use client data for any purpose other than providing golf coaching to that specific client.
Coaches must not share, sell, or disclose client data to any third party.
Only coaches can request clients. Coach-to-coach and client-to-client connections are not permitted.
Coaches acknowledge that SQR1 Golf is a data-sharing tool only and does not confer any professional qualification, insurance, or accreditation.

SQR1 Golf is not responsible for the quality of coaching provided through the platform, the conduct of coaches or clients, or any disputes arising between them.

Coaches may optionally provide a PGA membership number on their profile. Where provided, this number is displayed publicly alongside a link to pga.info so that clients can verify it independently. SQR1 Golf does not verify PGA membership numbers or any other professional credentials — the number is displayed exactly as entered by the coach. By entering a PGA number, coaches confirm that it is accurate, current, and belongs to them. Entering a false or inaccurate number constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in immediate account suspension.

6. Reviews

Clients connected with a coach may leave a star-based review. All reviews are subject to moderation before publication. We reserve the right to decline or remove any review that in our sole judgement contains offensive or abusive language, makes false or defamatory statements, violates any applicable law, or is submitted in bad faith.

Coaches may post a single public reply to each approved review. Replies are subject to the same moderation standards.

By submitting a review you confirm it reflects your genuine experience and grant SQR1 Golf a non-exclusive licence to display it on the platform.

7. Messaging

The messaging feature is for communication between coaches and clients only. You may not use messaging to send spam, harass or threaten other users, share offensive or illegal content, or solicit personal financial information. We reserve the right to suspend messaging access for accounts that misuse the feature.

8. Acceptable Use

You agree not to use SQR1 Golf to violate any applicable law, infringe intellectual property rights, upload malicious code, attempt unauthorised access to the service, scrape or republish content without permission, create accounts to manipulate reviews or stats, or impersonate any person or entity. We reserve the right to suspend or ban accounts that violate these terms without notice or refund.

9. Accuracy of Data

SQR1 Golf calculates performance statistics and benchmarks solely from the data you enter. You are responsible for the accuracy of all scores, hole data, and other information you record on the platform. We do not verify, validate, or cross-check any data you input. Statistics, trends, and performance insights displayed are only as accurate as the data provided — if incorrect data is entered, the outputs will reflect that. SQR1 Golf accepts no liability for decisions made on the basis of statistics derived from inaccurate user-entered data.

10. Intellectual Property

All content, design, code and functionality of SQR1 Golf is owned by or licensed to [COMPANY NAME]. You may not reproduce or distribute any part of the platform without our express written permission.

You retain ownership of the data you input. By using the service you grant us a limited licence to store, process, and display that data as necessary to provide the service to you.

11. Data and Privacy

We collect and process personal data in accordance with our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. We are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office under registration number [ICO NUMBER].

12. Availability and Service Changes

We aim to keep SQR1 Golf available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. The service may be temporarily unavailable for any of the following reasons:

Scheduled maintenance — We will provide reasonable advance notice where possible, typically via email or in-app notification.
Emergency maintenance — To address critical bugs, security vulnerabilities, or service failures, we may restrict access without notice.
Security incidents — We reserve the right to immediately suspend all or part of the service to protect user data or investigate suspected security breaches.
Force majeure — Events beyond our reasonable control including infrastructure failures, hosting provider outages, or other third-party service disruptions.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time. Where we make material changes we will provide reasonable notice where possible. No refunds or credits will be provided for temporary service interruptions or downtime.

Maintenance Mode: During maintenance periods, access may be restricted to authorized personnel or beta testers only. You acknowledge that we may implement such restrictions without prior notice when necessary for operational or security reasons.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SQR1 Golf and [COMPANY NAME] shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service. Our total liability shall not exceed the total subscription fees paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim. Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence or fraud.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SQR1 Golf and [COMPANY NAME] from any claims, losses, or costs arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the platform, or your infringement of any third party rights.

15. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. If you are a consumer resident in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you may also bring proceedings in your local courts.

16. Changes to These Terms

Where changes are material, we will notify you at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of SQR1 Golf after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
