Terms of Service

You may submit course reviews, ratings, and other content ("User Content") to the Service. You alone are responsible for User Content and, once submitted, it cannot always be deleted. You assume all risks associated with User Content. By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that: (a) you are the original author of the content or have the right to submit it; (b) the content is accurate and reflects your genuine experience; (c) the content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property rights; (d) the content does not contain defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful material; and (e) you have the right to grant the license below.

By submitting User Content, you grant Chaddy Golf Ventures LLC d/b/a BogeyMap a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, assignable, sublicensable, transferable, irrevocable license to host, use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, publicly display, and otherwise use your User Content in connection with the Service, internal business purposes, promotional purposes, or any other purpose. You retain ownership of your User Content. See AI Powered Features, below, for further details about how we may use your User Content.

To operate, improve, and personalize the Services, we may use User Content, including reviews, ratings, comments, and other content you submit, to develop, train, test, evaluate, and improve artificial intelligence, machine learning, recommendation, search, ranking, summarization, and other automated features that are part of the Services.

These uses may include identifying trends, generating recommendations, matching users with relevant content, improving search results, detecting duplicate or fraudulent content, and developing new features designed to enhance the user experience.

Except as otherwise disclosed in our Privacy Policy, we will not intentionally identify you personally in AI-generated outputs provided to other users. Where appropriate, we may aggregate, anonymize, or de-identify User Content before using it for these purposes.

You retain ownership of your User Content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, sublicensable license to use your User Content for the purposes described in these Terms during the period your User Content is available on the Services and thereafter to the extent reasonably necessary to preserve previously developed AI models, maintain the integrity of the Services, comply with applicable law, or otherwise exercise rights granted under these Terms.

You may request that we dissociate your User Content from your personal profile or other identifying account information by contacting us or using the account tools we make available.

Upon processing your request, we may replace your name, username, profile photograph, and other identifying account information associated with your User Content with an anonymous identifier or otherwise de-identify the User Content so that it is no longer publicly associated with your account.

Anonymization of User Content does not require us to remove the underlying content itself. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, we may continue to host, display, reproduce, distribute, and otherwise use such User Content pursuant to the license you granted under these Terms, provided that it is no longer publicly associated with your personal profile.

Certain information may remain associated with your account or retained by us where reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law or legal process;
• maintain the integrity, security, or operation of the Services;
• investigate fraud, abuse, or violations of these Terms;
• preserve audit logs, backups, or disaster recovery systems;
• protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, our users, or others.

We do not guarantee that anonymization will remove all references to your identity. For example, your identity may remain apparent from the content itself, from quotations or responses posted by other users, or from information independently disclosed by you or others.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review, edit, or remove any User Content at our sole discretion, for any reason or no reason, and without notice to you, including content that violates these Terms or that we find objectionable for any reason. We are not responsible for User Content submitted by other users.

User Content you submit is screened by automated means, including artificial intelligence, before it becomes publicly visible. That screening evaluates the text you submit for indicators such as defamatory statements, unverifiable factual claims, third-party personal information, harassment or hate speech, and spam or off-topic content, and produces a preliminary classification. Content the system does not clear is held for human review before publication, and content the system identifies as clearly unacceptable may be withheld or hidden. We are not obligated to publish any User Content, and publication may be delayed, declined, or reversed at any time. Automated screening is imperfect and does not constitute a legal determination about your content; a decision to publish is not an endorsement or verification of accuracy.

Editing a published review returns it to screening and may remove it from public view until it clears again.

Any signed-in user may report published User Content using the reporting control available with each review. Reports must be made in good faith; submitting repeated, knowingly false, or abusive reports is a violation of these Terms. A reported item may be re-screened and, where appropriate, hidden pending our decision. We decide whether to remove, restore, or take no action, and we are not obligated to notify a reporter of the outcome. Nothing in this Section limits your obligation to raise defamation, privacy, or intellectual-property claims through the notice procedures described elsewhere in these Terms.

Our community benefits from honest, informative, and respectful reviews. Whether your experience was positive, negative, or somewhere in between, we encourage you to share it in a way that is fair, accurate, and helpful to other users. Our published Review Guidelines set out in detail what we publish, what we hold for human review, and what we remove.

When posting a review, please:

• Share only experiences that are based on your own firsthand knowledge or personal interactions.
• Be truthful and accurate to the best of your knowledge.
• Distinguish factual statements from personal opinions.
• Provide enough detail to make your review useful to others, where appropriate.
• Keep your comments respectful and focused on the relevant business, organization, product, service, or experience.
• Update or correct your review if you later discover that material information was inaccurate.

Please do not post reviews that:

• Are knowingly false, misleading, or deceptive.
• Include defamatory or libelous statements.
• Contain threats, harassment, hate speech, or abusive language.
• Infringe another person's intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Include confidential or proprietary information that you are not authorized to disclose.
• Contain another person's personal information (such as home addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, financial information, or government identification numbers) without their consent.
• Promote illegal activity.
• Are spam, advertisements, or solicitations unrelated to the subject of the review.
• Are posted on behalf of another person without authorization or otherwise misrepresent your identity or experience.
• Are generated for the purpose of manipulating ratings or misleading other users.

We will not remove or edit reviews solely because they express an unfavorable opinion, provided they otherwise comply with these Guidelines.

Certain users may be designated as "Verified Golfers" based on criteria we establish. Verified status is granted at our sole discretion and may be revoked at any time. Verified status does not constitute an endorsement of any particular user or their reviews.

We offer an optional program in which eligible subscribers may apply to be designated as accredited reviewers and to have their reviews highlighted as featured content. Eligibility criteria, application review, accreditation, and the selection of featured reviews are determined at our sole discretion, and accreditation may be declined, paused, or revoked at any time without notice. Accreditation is not employment, agency, partnership, or a franchise, and it does not entitle you to compensation, course access, complimentary play, or any other benefit unless we agree otherwise in a separate written agreement.

If you are accredited, you agree to visit and evaluate courses at your own risk and expense, to comply with each facility's rules and with all applicable laws, to identify yourself honestly, and to disclose any free or discounted play, gift, payment, or other consideration you receive in connection with a review. You are solely responsible for your conduct at any facility, and we are not responsible for it. Accredited reviews remain your own opinions and are not our statements; the accredited designation is not a representation by us that a review is accurate.

We may in the future offer arrangements in which a course or other third party requests or pays for a review visit. Where a review results from such an arrangement, we will disclose that relationship in connection with the review. Payment never entitles a course to a favorable review, to edit or approve a review, or to have a review removed.

Information you submit in an application (including your region, playing history, and writing samples) is used to evaluate that application as described in our Privacy Policy. Accreditation may require an active subscription in good standing, and lapse of that subscription may affect your eligibility to submit new accredited reviews.

You may not sell, license, copy, publish, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, or otherwise use or exploit the Service Content in whole or in part without our express written permission.

BogeyMap offers an optional paid subscription called Looper Pro, available on a monthly basis or an annual basis billed as a single annual charge. All prices are in US dollars and are subject to change with notice. Applicable taxes may be added at checkout.

New subscribers who have not previously activated a Looper Pro trial may be eligible for a 7-day free trial. To start the trial, a valid payment method is required at checkout. You will not be charged during the 7-day trial period. If you do not cancel before the end of the trial period (Day 8), your subscription will automatically convert to a paid monthly or annual plan at the then-current price, and your payment method will be charged accordingly. The free trial is non-transferable, available once per account, and may not be combined with other promotional offers. To cancel before being charged, visit your account page and select "Cancel Subscription" before the trial ends.

Your Looper Pro subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) unless you cancel before the renewal date. By subscribing, you authorize BogeyMap to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the then-current subscription price. You will receive access to Looper Pro features for the full paid period.

You may cancel your Looper Pro subscription at any time by visiting your account settings and selecting "Manage Subscription," or by contacting us at legal@bogeymap.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period — you will retain Looper Pro access until that date and will not be charged for the next period. Cancellation is as simple as the original sign-up process.

All subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. We do not provide refunds or credits for partial billing periods. If you believe a charge was made in error, please contact us within 30 days of the charge at legal@bogeymap.com and we will review your request.

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By subscribing, you agree to Stripe's terms of service. BogeyMap does not store your full payment card information.
