Legal

Terms of Use

The ground rules for using Flights & Fairways. We've tried to keep them readable. Where a clause matters most, it says so plainly.

Effective September 25, 2026

1. The agreement

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Flights & Fairways ("Flights & Fairways," "we," "us"). They cover the Flights & Fairways mobile app, this website and the services behind them (together, the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

If you use the Service on behalf of a golf club, league or other group (a "Club"), you confirm that you're allowed to accept these Terms for it, and "you" includes the Club.

2. Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. If you're under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these Terms for you. The Service isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information.

3. Accounts

  • You sign in with an email address, using a password or a one-time sign-in link. Keep your credentials to yourself. You're responsible for what happens under your account.
  • Give us accurate information and keep it up to date, particularly your email address, which is how you get back into your account.
  • Tell us promptly at [email protected] if you think someone else has accessed your account.
  • One person per account. Don't share an account, and don't create one for someone else without their permission.

4. Clubs and admins

A Club is created by a head admin, who can invite members and guests and appoint other admins. Admins can create outings, enter and approve scores, assign and record fees, set handicaps and flights, post announcements, manage the Sick & Shut-In registry, and export Club data.

  • The Club decides. Its admins, not Flights & Fairways, set the Club's rules, fees, fines, handicaps, flights, pairings and results. Take disputes about those to your Club. We don't referee them.
  • Admins handle members' information. If you're an admin you'll see and enter information about other members. Use it only to run the Club, respect members' privacy, and only record what the Club needs.
  • Leaving a Club. Admins can remove members or change their roles. A head admin may ask us to close a Club, which removes it for all of its members.

5. Free trial and subscriptions

The Club, not each member, is the customer. Members and guests don't pay us anything.

  • Free trial. New Clubs get a 14-day free trial with every feature. If no admin subscribes by the end of it, the Club becomes read-only. Its data stays in place and unlocks as soon as an admin subscribes.
  • Club subscription. An auto-renewing subscription, currently US $9.99 per month per Club, purchased through Apple's App Store or Google Play. It renews automatically at the end of each period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before renewal. Your store account is charged at confirmation and on each renewal.
  • Founding club (lifetime). While we offer it, a Club can instead make a one-time payment, currently US $199, that unlocks the Club for as long as we operate the Service. We may end this offer at any time. Clubs that already bought it keep it.
  • Managing and cancelling. Subscriptions are managed and cancelled in your App Store or Google Play account settings, not in our app. Deleting the app doesn't cancel a subscription.
  • Refunds. Payments are processed by Apple or Google under their terms, and refund requests go to them. We can't issue refunds for store purchases ourselves.
  • Price changes. We may change prices. The store will notify you in advance as its rules require, and a change takes effect from your next renewal.
  • Restoring. Any admin of the Club can restore the Club's purchase on another device.

6. Money between members and Clubs

Flights & Fairways doesn't collect, hold or transfer money between members and Clubs. The fees, dues, fines, buy-ins, payouts and fund contributions in the app are a record kept by your Club's admins. Members pay their Club directly by whatever method the Club accepts (cash, check, Venmo or anything else), and admins mark items paid.

We aren't a party to those payments and aren't responsible for them, for mistakes in the ledger, or for disputes over what's owed. Any side games your Club runs, skins included, are the Club's responsibility, and the Club must make sure they comply with the laws that apply to it.

7. Scores and handicaps

Handicaps in the Service are the numbers your Club's admins enter, used for flights and net scoring within your Club. They aren't an official USGA Handicap Index® or any other official handicap, and the Service doesn't post scores to GHIN® or any other handicap network. Scores, standings and skins results are only as accurate as the scores and settings entered.

8. Your content

"Your content" means anything you add to the Service: your profile, scores and scorecard photos, announcements, notes, well wishes, club logos and the like.

  • You keep ownership of your content.
  • You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display and transmit your content as needed to run and improve the Service for you and your Club. The license ends when your content is deleted, except for copies we keep as described in our Privacy Policy, such as backups for a limited period.
  • You confirm you have the rights to what you upload. A club logo, for example, should be one your Club is allowed to use.
  • Content you share with your Club is visible to its members. Admins can see more, as the Privacy Policy explains.

About Sick & Shut-In. This feature is for looking after fellow members. Don't post someone's medical details publicly without their permission. Keep public notes general (for example, "recovering at home") and leave anything sensitive to the admin-only notes, and even there only with the member's or family's consent.

9. Acceptable use

Don't use the Service to:

  • harass, threaten, defame or discriminate against anyone, or post content that's unlawful, obscene or hateful;
  • share another person's private information without their permission;
  • impersonate someone or misrepresent your connection to a Club;
  • send spam or messages unrelated to your Club;
  • access accounts, Clubs or data that aren't yours, or probe, scan or test the Service's security without our written permission;
  • interfere with or overload the Service, or copy, scrape, reverse engineer or resell it, except where the law expressly allows it;
  • break any law, including laws on gambling and consumer protection.

We may remove content or restrict accounts that break these rules.

10. Other services

The Service relies on others, including Apple and Google for app distribution, purchases and push notifications, and a subscription-management provider that confirms purchases. It may link to other services, such as maps for directions. Their own terms govern your use of them, and we aren't responsible for them.

11. Our property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics and the Flights & Fairways name and logos, belongs to us or our licensors and is protected by law. We grant you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the app on devices you own or control, only as these Terms allow. If you send us feedback or ideas, we may use them without owing you anything.

12. Ending things

You can stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account (see Contact). We may suspend or end your access if you seriously or repeatedly break these Terms, if the law requires it, or if we stop offering the Service. Where it's reasonable, we'll give notice and a chance to export Club data. Sections 6 to 8 and 11 to 16 continue after these Terms end.

13. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We don't promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, that results, fees or handicaps will be accurate, or that notifications will arrive on time. Golf is a physical activity: tee times, weather and course conditions are your Club's and your own responsibility.

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, Flights & Fairways will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for all claims relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amount the Club paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, or (b) US $50.

Some places don't allow these exclusions or limits, so some of them may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law says can't be limited.

15. Indemnity

To the extent the law allows, you agree to defend and indemnify Flights & Fairways against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your misuse of the Service, your breach of these Terms, or, if you're an admin, how you run your Club, including fees, side games and the handling of members' information.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Lucas County, Ohio, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Before filing a claim, please contact us so we can try to resolve it informally. If you're a consumer, you keep any rights your local law gives you that can't be waived.

17. Additional terms for app store downloads

If you got the app from Apple's App Store:

  • These Terms are between you and us, not Apple. Apple isn't responsible for the app or its content.
  • Your license is limited to using the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as the App Store Terms of Service's Usage Rules permit.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to an applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price, if any. To the extent the law allows, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for handling claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, and consumer protection claims.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and defending any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
  • You confirm that you aren't located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you aren't on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

If you got the app from Google Play, Google Play's terms also apply to your download and purchases.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. If a change is significant, we'll let you know in the app or by email before it takes effect, and the date at the top will always show the latest version. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the updated Terms.
