Please read these Terms of Service (the “Terms”) carefully. These Terms are a binding agreement between ParFour, Inc. (“ParFour,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and the person or entity accepting them (“you” or “your”). They govern access to and use of ParFour’s websites, mobile applications, and related services, features, content, tools, and products that link to these Terms (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, creating an account or Child Profile, registering for or participating in an event, connecting a Stripe account, making or accepting a payment, uploading or livestreaming content, or clicking “I Accept” (or similar), you agree to these Terms and the documents incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.
If you use the Services for an organization, school, club, tour, league, facility, event organizer, or other entity, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that entity. In that case, “you” includes both you and the entity.
1. Company Information
ParFour, Inc.
7973 Lake Nellie Rd.
Clermont, FL 34714, USA
Support: support@parfour.com
2. Eligibility and Authority
You must be at least 13 years old to create or control your own account. If you are 13 through 17, you may use the Services only with permission and supervision from your parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf to the extent permitted by law.
A person under 13 may participate only through a Child Profile created and managed by a parent or legal guardian, or through another legally permitted, ParFour-approved process. A person under 13 may not independently accept these Terms, connect a payment account, make purchases without adult involvement, or use any feature ParFour designates as unavailable to children.
You may not use the Services if you are prohibited from doing so under applicable law, have previously been removed for a material violation, or cannot form a binding agreement.
3. Accounts and Security
Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information; keep it updated; protect your login credentials; and promptly notify us at support@parfour.com of suspected unauthorized access.
You are responsible for activity under your account except to the extent caused by ParFour’s breach of law or these Terms. You may not sell, transfer, or share account access except through an authorized organizational role provided by the Services.
We may require identity, authority, age, parental status, organizational role, or payment-account verification. You authorize us and our service providers to conduct reasonable checks for those purposes.
4. Child Profiles and Parent-Managed Accounts
4.1 Creating and managing a Child Profile
A “Child Profile” is a profile for a minor that is linked to and managed by an adult account. By creating, claiming, linking, or managing a Child Profile, you represent and warrant that:
- you are the child’s parent or legal guardian, or otherwise have documented legal authority to act for the child;
- the information you provide is accurate and limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant feature or activity;
- you have reviewed the notices presented during the Child Profile and event-registration process;
- you will supervise the child’s use of the Services and are responsible for settings and permissions available to you; and
- you will not submit another child’s personal information, image, voice, or other media unless you have lawful authority and any required consent.
The managing adult controls the Child Profile, may receive notices about it, and may be able to view, correct, download, restrict, or request deletion of associated information. A request to revoke consent or delete information may require us to disable features or close the Child Profile when the information is necessary to provide them.
4.2 Children under 13
Where ParFour has actual knowledge that it collects personal information online from a child under 13, ParFour will provide required notice and obtain verifiable parental consent before collection, use, or disclosure, unless an exception under applicable law applies. ParFour may use a third-party consent or identity-verification provider. The adult must complete the required consent process before the child uses covered features.
ParFour remains responsible for its own obligations under children’s privacy laws. Nothing in these Terms transfers ParFour’s legal compliance duties to a parent, school, club, coach, or organizer.
4.3 School authorization
Where legally permitted, a school or school district may authorize collection from a child under 13 on a parent’s behalf only when the Services are used for the school’s educational purposes and the information is used for the school’s benefit and not for an unrelated commercial purpose. ParFour will provide the school the notice and controls required by law. School authorization does not authorize targeted advertising, unrelated marketing, or promotional use of a child’s personal information or media. Separate parental consent may be required for extracurricular, public, social, livestreaming, promotional, or other non-educational uses.
4.4 Child safety and visibility
ParFour may apply protective defaults or restrictions to Child Profiles, including limits on public visibility, messaging, precise location, contacts, livestreaming, advertising, payments, or content uploads. Adults and organizers may not bypass those controls or make a child’s information public contrary to the child’s settings, the notices presented, or applicable law.
5. Organizations, Organizers, and Administrative Roles
The Services support clubs, schools, tours, leagues, facilities, coaches, event organizers, and other organizations (“Organizers”). An Organizer may designate administrators and other authorized users to manage events, registrations, scoring, communications, content, payments, refunds, and participant information.
Each Organizer is responsible for:
- its offerings, event rules, eligibility criteria, descriptions, prices, schedules, cancellation and refund policies, taxes, permits, waivers, and delivery of goods or services;
- the conduct and permissions of its authorized users;
- giving accurate notices and obtaining permissions for information and media the Organizer submits to ParFour;
- using participant information only for authorized purposes and protecting it with reasonable safeguards;
- responding to participant, parent, refund, chargeback, and legal requests within its responsibility; and
- complying with laws and policies applicable to the Organizer, including school, athletics, youth-safety, fundraising, and consumer-protection requirements.
An Organizer may access information about participants in events it administers. That access does not transfer ownership of the information or permit unrelated use, sale, targeted advertising, or disclosure. ParFour may suspend or remove administrative access when authority ends or misuse is suspected.
6. Events, Scoring, Location Features, and Safety
The Services may support outdoor golf, indoor golf, simulator environments, leagues, tournaments, clinics, camps, lessons, tryouts, practices, fundraisers, sponsorship activations, and other activities. Features may include registration, scheduling, scoring, GPS or course overlays, venue or simulator inputs, performance data, communications, uploads, and livestreams.
You understand that event participation and media features may reveal a participant’s name, image, voice, event, affiliation, score, performance, approximate or precise location, and other information. Use protective settings and do not post sensitive information unnecessarily.
ParFour does not organize, supervise, insure, or control an event unless expressly stated. Organizers and participants are responsible for safety, supervision, emergency planning, venue rules, weather decisions, equipment, transportation, and compliance with law. Location, scoring, simulator, and performance data may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate and must not be used for safety-critical decisions.
7. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how ParFour collects, uses, retains, and shares information, including information associated with Child Profiles, event participation, media, location, performance, transactions, and Connected Accounts. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms.
8. User Content and Media Rights
8.1 Your content
“User Content” means any information or material you or someone acting for you submits, uploads, posts, streams, records, transmits, or otherwise makes available through the Services, including photographs, video, livestreams, audio, voice, names, likenesses, biographies, captions, messages, comments, logos, scores, and performance content.
As between you and ParFour, you retain any ownership rights you have in your User Content. You are solely responsible for it and for having all rights, permissions, releases, and consents needed to submit it and grant the license below.
8.2 License to ParFour
You grant ParFour and its affiliates a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, cache, reproduce, record, transmit, stream, adapt, edit, crop, resize, format, translate, create derivative works from, combine with other material, publish, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute, make available, and otherwise use User Content, together with the names, usernames, voices, images, likenesses, and biographical information embodied in it:
- to provide, operate, secure, moderate, support, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve the Services;
- to make the User Content available according to the audience, event, account, and sharing settings selected by you or an authorized Organizer;
- to create highlights, clips, thumbnails, previews, recaps, archives, feeds, and other platform features; and
- to identify, publicize, market, advertise, and promote ParFour, the Services, and events or organizations featured in the User Content, in any media or distribution channel now known or later developed.
This license allows ParFour to use service providers, distribution partners, event partners, and contractors to exercise these rights for ParFour. It does not permit them to use User Content for their own unrelated purposes.
To the extent permitted by law, you waive and agree not to assert moral rights or similar rights that would prevent the licensed uses. ParFour has no obligation to use, publish, or continue displaying User Content, and no compensation, approval right, or attribution is owed unless ParFour agrees otherwise in writing.
8.3 Duration and deletion
The license begins when User Content is submitted and continues for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above. If you delete User Content or close your account, the license ends after a commercially reasonable removal period, except that ParFour may retain and use copies:
- in backups, logs, security records, and legal or compliance archives;
- where another user or Organizer independently stored, shared, or incorporated the content as permitted by the Services;
- as needed to investigate abuse, enforce these Terms, resolve disputes, or comply with law; and
- in marketing, promotional, or editorial materials already created, published, committed, or distributed before ParFour processed the deletion request.
ParFour will not begin a new promotional use of deleted User Content after processing a verified deletion or withdrawal request where applicable law requires us to stop. Rights concerning a child’s personal information remain subject to the Privacy Policy, verified parental choices, and applicable law.
8.4 People shown or heard in content
If User Content identifies, depicts, records, or includes another person, you represent and warrant that you have provided any required notice and obtained all rights, permissions, and releases necessary for ParFour’s uses described above. If the person is a minor, the permission must come from a parent, legal guardian, or other person with legal authority and must cover the applicable public, livestreaming, and promotional uses.
An Organizer’s general authority to administer an event does not automatically authorize commercial or promotional use of a child’s media. ParFour may require a separate media release or affirmative parental consent, particularly for a child under 13. You must honor any documented restrictions communicated through the Services.
8.5 Feedback
If you provide ideas, suggestions, or feedback about the Services, you grant ParFour a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them without restriction or compensation.
9. Acceptable Use
You may not use the Services to:
- violate law, these Terms, another person’s rights, or an Organizer’s lawful rules;
- exploit, endanger, groom, harass, threaten, impersonate, or invade the privacy of a minor or any other person;
- upload content you do not have the right to use, including content that infringes intellectual property, privacy, publicity, confidentiality, or contractual rights;
- publish sensitive personal information, precise real-time location, or private communications without authority;
- distribute illegal, sexually exploitative, abusive, hateful, fraudulent, deceptive, or malicious material;
- scrape, copy, reverse engineer, bypass access controls, probe vulnerabilities, introduce malware, overload systems, or interfere with the Services;
- use automated means to access the Services except through an authorized interface;
- manipulate scoring, registrations, payments, engagement, or account identity;
- use participant or Child Profile information for unrelated marketing, targeted advertising, sale, profiling, recruiting, or surveillance; or
- facilitate unsafe conduct or evade child-safety, consent, payment, or visibility controls.
We may remove or restrict content, preserve evidence, limit features, suspend accounts, notify an Organizer or parent, or report conduct to authorities where we reasonably believe action is needed to enforce these Terms, protect users, or comply with law.
10. Intellectual Property and Limited License
The Services, including ParFour software, designs, interfaces, text, graphics, data compilations, trademarks, and other content provided by ParFour (“ParFour Content”), are owned by ParFour or its licensors and protected by law.
Subject to these Terms, ParFour grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive, nontransferable, and nonsublicensable license to access and use the Services for their intended purposes. No other rights are granted. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, license, reverse engineer, scrape, or create derivative works from the Services or ParFour Content except as expressly permitted by law or written authorization.
11. Copyright Complaints
ParFour respects intellectual property rights and will respond to properly submitted notices under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. A notice should identify the copyrighted work and allegedly infringing material, provide contact information and required statements, and be sent to support@parfour.com with the subject “DMCA Notice.” ParFour may request additional information and may terminate repeat infringers where appropriate.
12. Stripe Connect and Connected Accounts
12.1 Payment services
ParFour uses Stripe to provide payment processing and connected-account services. An Organizer or other user that enrolls a Stripe account through ParFour is a “Connected Account.” Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the applicable Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which incorporates the applicable Stripe Services Agreement (together, the “Stripe Agreements”). You must accept and comply with the Stripe Agreements and provide complete and accurate onboarding, identity, tax, bank, business, and representative information.
You authorize ParFour and Stripe to access and exchange Connected Account, transaction, payout, dispute, refund, risk, and compliance information as necessary to provide the Services. You authorize ParFour to initiate authorized activity on the Connected Account, including creating charges, collecting disclosed ParFour fees, issuing or facilitating refunds, reversing or adjusting transfers, providing dispute evidence, restricting payment features, and taking other actions described in these Terms and the checkout or Organizer interface.
12.2 Connected Account responsibilities
Unless ParFour expressly states otherwise in writing, the Connected Account is the seller and merchant responsible for the goods, services, registrations, sponsorships, or event participation it offers. The Connected Account is responsible for descriptions, fulfillment, customer service, receipts, refund and cancellation policies, taxes, legal compliance, fraud, and disputes relating to its offerings.
Stripe may suspend processing, delay or withhold payouts, establish reserves, request information, or debit balances as allowed by the Stripe Agreements. ParFour may also delay payouts, restrict payment features, or withhold amounts where reasonably necessary to address suspected fraud, refunds, chargebacks, negative balances, legal requirements, or risk to users or the Services.
13. Purchases, Platform Fees, Refunds, and Payment Disputes
13.1 Participant purchases
When you buy an event registration, sponsorship, subscription, or other offering from a Connected Account, your transaction is with that Connected Account unless checkout expressly identifies ParFour as the seller. ParFour provides technology that facilitates the transaction but does not control the event or offering.
Prices, ParFour platform or service fees, processing fees, taxes, and other charges will be disclosed at checkout where required. By submitting payment, you authorize the applicable charge. ParFour fees compensate ParFour for platform services and may be collected as an application fee or other amount through Stripe.
13.2 Organizer refund policies
The Connected Account sets and is responsible for its refund and cancellation policy unless ParFour expressly provides a different policy at checkout. Refund requests must ordinarily be directed to the Connected Account through the process shown in the Services. ParFour may facilitate a refund but is not required to override an Organizer’s policy except where required by law or expressly promised at checkout.
For a direct charge processed on a Connected Account, Stripe ordinarily debits the Connected Account for the refunded amount. If a ParFour application fee was collected, ParFour may return all or a proportional part of that fee in connection with a full or partial refund, as reflected in the applicable product settings, displayed policy, or transaction record. Stripe processing fees, dispute fees, and other third-party costs may not be returned and may be allocated or deducted as permitted by the Stripe Agreements, the displayed policy, and applicable law.
Refund timing depends on the Connected Account’s available balance, Stripe, the payment method, and the issuing bank. A refund may remain pending or fail if sufficient funds are unavailable.
13.3 Chargebacks and disputes
A payment dispute or chargeback is decided by the card network, bank, or payment provider, not ParFour. A Connected Account must promptly provide requested evidence and is responsible for the disputed amount, chargeback or dispute fees, refunds, reversals, penalties, negative balances, and related losses associated with its transactions, except to the extent the Stripe Agreements or a written ParFour agreement expressly allocate responsibility differently.
You authorize ParFour and Stripe to recover those amounts from the Connected Account balance, future payments or payouts, reserves, linked bank account, or other amounts payable to you, to the extent permitted by law and the Stripe Agreements. ParFour may reverse transfers, set off amounts, or invoice the Connected Account. If a dispute is won or funds are later restored, ParFour will credit or transfer amounts due after accounting for applicable fees and prior recoveries.
A purchaser must not seek duplicate recovery through both a refund and a chargeback. ParFour may share transaction, registration, attendance, communication, and fulfillment information with the Connected Account, Stripe, banks, and payment networks to prevent fraud and respond to a dispute.
13.4 Taxes
Each seller or Connected Account is responsible for determining, collecting, reporting, and remitting taxes applicable to its offerings, except where ParFour or Stripe is legally required and expressly agrees to do so. Participants are responsible for taxes imposed on their purchases.
14. Subscriptions and Renewals
If you purchase a recurring subscription, the price, billing interval, renewal terms, and cancellation method will be disclosed before purchase. You authorize recurring charges until cancellation. Cancellation applies to future billing and does not retroactively refund the current term unless required by law or stated otherwise.
Annual plans are billed in advance and are nonrefundable to the fullest extent permitted by law, except as expressly stated at purchase. Failure to use the Services does not create a refund right. ParFour may change subscription pricing with advance notice required by law.
15. Third-Party Services
The Services may integrate with Apple, Google, Stripe, mapping providers, analytics providers, simulator systems, course-data providers, social platforms, and other third parties. Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. ParFour is not responsible for third-party services, but this does not limit responsibility ParFour cannot disclaim under law.
16. Suspension and Termination
You may stop using the Services at any time and may request account closure through the available settings or support@parfour.com. ParFour may suspend, restrict, or terminate access, remove content, hold payments, or disable features if we reasonably believe you violated these Terms, created risk or legal exposure, failed to pay amounts due, lost authority, or used the Services in a way that may harm a child, another user, an Organizer, ParFour, or a third party.
Termination does not eliminate obligations or liabilities incurred before termination. Sections that by their nature should survive—including content licenses to the limited extent stated, payment obligations, intellectual property, disclaimers, liability limits, indemnification, dispute resolution, and miscellaneous provisions—will survive.
17. Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” PARFOUR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.
PARFOUR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES, CONTENT, SCORING, LOCATION DATA, PAYMENT FEATURES, OR THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. PARFOUR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, SAFETY, EVENTS, OFFERINGS, CONTENT, OR POLICIES OF ORGANIZERS OR USERS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of the above may not apply to you.
18. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
18.1 Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PARFOUR AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THEIR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO PARFOUR FOR THE SERVICES DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and they do not limit your payment obligations or misuse of ParFour’s intellectual property.
18.2 Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, if you are an Organizer, Connected Account, organization, or user acting for a business or entity, you will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ParFour and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from third-party claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, and reasonable legal fees arising from: (a) your events, offerings, User Content, or use of participant information; (b) your breach of these Terms or applicable law; (c) your refund, tax, consumer, payment, or Connected Account obligations; or (d) your violation of another person’s intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights.
For individual consumers, this indemnity applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law and only to claims caused by the consumer’s unlawful conduct or material breach.
19. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration, and Class Waiver
19.1 Informal resolution first
Before filing a claim, you and ParFour agree to try to resolve it informally for at least 30 days. A notice to ParFour must be sent to support@parfour.com with the subject “Legal Dispute Notice” and include your name, account email, a description of the dispute, and the relief requested. ParFour will send notices to the email associated with your account. Any limitations period is tolled during this 30-day process.
19.2 Binding individual arbitration
Except for matters listed below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules or Commercial Arbitration Rules, depending on the nature of the dispute. The arbitrator may award the same individual remedies a court could award. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
The arbitration may be conducted by telephone, video, documents, or in person in the county where you live, unless the parties agree otherwise. ParFour will pay arbitration fees to the extent required by the applicable AAA rules or law. Each party is responsible for its own attorneys’ fees unless a statute, rule, or the arbitrator permits otherwise.
19.3 Exceptions
Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court if eligible. Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or unauthorized use of intellectual property, data, or account credentials. Nothing prevents you from reporting issues to a government agency, and an agency may seek relief where authorized.
19.4 Class-action and jury-trial waiver
YOU AND PARFOUR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR PRIVATE-ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT COMBINE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER A REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU AND PARFOUR WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
19.5 Opt-out right
You may opt out of arbitration by emailing support@parfour.com within 30 days after first accepting these Terms. Use the subject “Arbitration Opt-Out” and include your full name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out. Opting out will not affect other Terms or your access to the Services.
19.6 If arbitration terms are unenforceable
If the class waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request will proceed in court after any arbitrable claims are completed. If this arbitration section is otherwise unenforceable, exclusive jurisdiction and venue will lie in the state or federal courts located in [COUNTY], Florida, and each party consents to those courts, except where consumer law requires another forum.
20. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms. If a change is material, we will provide notice through the Services, by email, or by another method reasonably designed to reach affected users before the change takes effect. The notice will state the effective date and, where appropriate, summarize material changes.
Changes will apply prospectively. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance where permitted by law. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Services and, if applicable, cancel before the change takes effect. Material changes to Section 19 will not apply retroactively to a dispute of which ParFour had actual notice before the change.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms, the Privacy Policy, applicable checkout terms, and any written agreement between ParFour and your organization are the entire agreement concerning the Services. If a separate written agreement conflicts with these Terms, the separate agreement controls only for its subject matter.
These Terms are governed by Delaware law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs Section 19 and mandatory consumer protections remain applicable. You may not assign these Terms without ParFour’s written consent. ParFour may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or by operation of law.
If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remainder will remain in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. Headings are for convenience. “Including” means “including without limitation.” Electronic notices and acceptance satisfy writing and signature requirements to the extent permitted by law.
22. App Store Terms
If you downloaded an application through Apple’s App Store or Google Play, these Terms are between you and ParFour, not Apple or Google. The app-store provider is not responsible for the Services, support, warranties, claims, or intellectual property issues, except as required by its terms. The provider and its affiliates may be third-party beneficiaries of these Terms where its rules require.
