Terms of Use

Please read these Terms of Use ("Terms") carefully. They are a legal agreement between you and Bogey Logger ("we", "us", "Bogey Logger") governing your use of the Bogey Logger mobile application (the "App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. The Service

Bogey Logger is a mobile application for golf scoring, handicap calculation, friendly "skins" record-keeping, multiplayer round synchronization, a shared community course database, manual course entry, and subscription-gated AI scorecard import. Most of your data is stored locally on your device; account-based cloud services are used for sign-in, trial/subscription access, multiplayer, community courses, and backup where applicable.

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable license to download and use the App on devices you own or control, for your personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, modify, translate, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of the App, nor rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute, or sublicense it, except as permitted by applicable law. All rights not expressly granted are reserved by us.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and legally capable of entering into these Terms to use the App. The App is not intended for minors.

3. Your Account

Creating an account (via Google, Apple, or email) is required to start the Pro trial and use most App features. Your account is also used for multiplayer, friends, the community course database, cloud backup, subscription access, and scorecard scan limits. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity under your account. You may delete your account and its associated cloud data at any time from within the App.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree not to: (a) use the App for any unlawful purpose; (b) submit false, misleading, or infringing course data; (c) harass, abuse, or impersonate other users; (d) attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse-engineer, or gain unauthorized access to the App or its services; or (e) misuse the community course database, including spamming or uploading data you do not have the right to share.

5. User Content and Community Courses

When you contribute course data while signed in, that data is shared with other users through the community course database. You grant Bogey Logger a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, distribute, validate, modify, and remove that data as needed to operate, protect, and improve the service. You represent that you have the right to share any data you submit and that your submissions do not infringe anyone else's rights. We may review, modify, validate, remove, or restrict community content at our discretion, including if we believe it is inaccurate, misleading, unlawful, infringing, abusive, or harmful to the service.

6. Copyright Complaints and Takedowns

Bogey Logger respects intellectual property rights. Users may not submit course data, text, or other content that infringes another person's copyright, trademark, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other rights. If we receive an intellectual-property complaint, we may remove or disable access to the content, restrict the relevant account, and take other action we consider appropriate.

To report a copyright or intellectual-property concern, contact us at birdie@bogeylogger.com with enough information for us to identify the content, your contact information, a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized, and a statement that the information in your notice is accurate. We may terminate or restrict accounts that repeatedly submit infringing content or misuse the community course database.

7. Skins, Wagers, and No Money Handling

Bogey Logger is a score-tracking and record-keeping tool only. It does not facilitate, process, host, or handle gambling, wagering, or any monetary transaction of any kind. Any stakes, bets, or financial arrangements between players are made entirely at your own discretion and risk. You are solely responsible for ensuring that any such arrangements comply with all laws applicable to you. Bogey Logger and its developers accept no liability for any financial arrangements made between users of the App.

8. Handicap and Course Information

Any handicap figures the App displays, including the Handicap Tracker, are unofficial estimates provided for personal tracking only. They are not official Handicap Index values issued under the World Handicap System or by any authorized golf association. Course data, ratings, slopes, manually entered values, community course values, and scanned values may contain errors. You are responsible for reviewing and verifying any information before relying on it.

9. Subscriptions and Billing

Bogey Logger may offer an app-managed Pro trial before requiring a paid subscription for continued access. Unless changed in the App, signed-in accounts receive 30 days of Pro access when the trial starts. The app-managed trial does not automatically bill you. After the trial ends, continued use of most App features requires a paid Pro subscription, except for account management, legal information, restoring purchases, and other limited access we may provide.

Paid subscriptions are sold and billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to their terms. Subscriptions automatically renew until canceled. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. All payments are processed by the applicable app store; Bogey Logger does not collect, process, or store your payment information.

Scorecard scanning may be subject to usage limits. Unless changed in the App or applicable store listing, each signed-in trial account includes 3 total scorecard scans during the 30-day Pro trial. Paid Pro includes scorecard scanning with 10 scans per month and 25 scans per year. Unused scans do not roll over unless expressly stated.

10. Privacy

Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect, how it is used, and your rights.

11. Disclaimers

The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that handicap calculations, course data, or scan results will be accurate.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bogey Logger and its developers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any financial arrangements between users, arising out of or related to your use of the App. Our total liability for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid for the App in the prior twelve months or USD 10 dollars.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bogey Logger and its developers from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the App, your content, or your violation of these Terms or applicable law.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these Terms or misuse the service. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date above. Continued use of the App after the changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

16. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully because it affects your rights. Except for the exceptions described below, you and Bogey Logger agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the App, or your use of the App will first be addressed through the informal resolution process below and, if not resolved, will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration.

Before either party starts arbitration or a court proceeding, the party raising the dispute must send written notice describing the dispute and the requested relief. Notices to Bogey Logger should be sent to birdie@bogeylogger.com. We will send notices to the email address associated with your account, if available. The parties will try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days after notice is received.

If the dispute is not resolved informally, either party may start binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, except as modified by these Terms. If AAA is unavailable or declines to administer the arbitration, the parties will work in good faith to select a comparable arbitration provider, and if they cannot agree, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint one.

Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration may be conducted by video, telephone, written submissions, or another remote method unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is necessary. If an in-person hearing is required, it will take place in a reasonably convenient location for the consumer, unless the parties agree otherwise.

You and Bogey Logger each agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis. Neither party may bring or participate in a class action, class arbitration, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve that party's individual claim.

Nothing in this section prevents either party from bringing an individual claim in small claims court if the claim qualifies. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property, confidential information, account security, or the operation of the App.

The arbitrator will have authority to resolve disputes about the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, except that any dispute about the validity or enforceability of the class action waiver must be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each party will be responsible for its own attorneys' fees unless applicable law or the arbitrator permits otherwise. Arbitration fees will be governed by the applicable arbitration provider's consumer rules and fee schedule. Bogey Logger will pay any arbitration fees it is required to pay under those rules or applicable law.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by emailing birdie@bogeylogger.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms. Your opt-out notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account if applicable, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration will not affect any other part of these Terms.

If any part of this arbitration section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be severed to the extent permitted by law, and the remaining parts will remain in effect. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim must proceed in court and not arbitration.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of South Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be subject to the state and federal courts located in South Carolina, except where applicable law provides otherwise.
