Terms of Service

1. Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of Tune-Up Golf™, including Tune-Up Golf websites, account areas, applications, tools, forms, communications, golf-game features, recurring groups, tournament services, golf instructor listings, golf-course information, Updates & Photos, and related services.

Tune-Up Golf™ is owned and operated by Express One Industries (“Tune-Up Golf,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By accessing or using Tune-Up Golf, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you should not use the platform.

2. Eligibility

Tune-Up Golf is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. By creating an account or using account-based features, you represent that you are at least 18.

3. Tune-Up Golf Is a Technology and Community Platform

Tune-Up Golf provides tools intended to help golfers find games, organize games and recurring groups, manage tournaments, communicate with participants, locate golf instructors, discover golf courses, and manage related golf activity.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Tune-Up Golf is not the golf course, game organizer, tournament operator, golf instructor, sponsor, equipment provider, transportation provider, payment recipient, or other independent third party involved in an activity arranged through the platform.

4. Accounts and Account Security

Certain Tune-Up Golf features require an account. You are responsible for providing accurate information and maintaining the security of your login credentials.

You are responsible for activity occurring through your account unless applicable law provides otherwise.

You should promptly notify Tune-Up Golf if you believe your account has been accessed without authorization.

5. Golf Games and Recurring Groups

Tune-Up Golf may allow organizers to create one-time games and recurring golf groups, invite golfers, collect RSVPs, manage player limits, organize accepted golfers, send reminders, and publish final game information.

Tee-Time Reservations

Tune-Up Golf does not book or reserve golf-course tee times. The organizer is responsible for reserving the tee time or tee times directly with the applicable golf course or pro shop before posting those reserved times inside Tune-Up Golf.

Tune-Up Golf is not responsible for a golf course changing, cancelling, modifying, or refusing a reservation.

Player Preferences

Golfers may be permitted to request a preferred reserved tee time or another golfer they would like to play with. These are requests only and are not guaranteed.

The organizer controls the final player-group assignments for ordinary golf games.

Group Sizes

Tune-Up Golf does not assume that every golf group consists of four players. Golf courses and organizers may use threesomes, foursomes, fivesomes, or other group sizes where permitted.

6. Recurring Group Membership

Recurring golf groups may maintain an ongoing member list separate from participation in any particular week’s game.

A golfer may remain an active member of a recurring group even when they decline or do not participate in a specific outing.

The applicable organizer may add or remove members according to available Tune-Up Golf controls.

Removal from a recurring group may also terminate the removed user’s future access to private group features, including the group’s private Updates & Photos feed.

7. Find a Game

Tune-Up Golf may allow organizers to make certain games discoverable to other users through Find a Game.

A request to join does not guarantee acceptance, a playing position, a reserved tee time, or participation in the game.

The applicable organizer decides whether to accept or decline a request to join unless Tune-Up Golf expressly provides otherwise.

8. Golf Tournaments

Tune-Up Golf may provide tools for charity, club, member, corporate, private, and other golf tournaments.

Tournament tools may include registration, payment tracking, preferred player groups, sponsors, contests, meals, communications, Updates & Photos, and golf-course grouping exports.

Tournament organizers are responsible for their event information, registration rules, pricing, refunds, participant eligibility, payment arrangements, sponsors, contests, food and beverage information, event-specific rules, and communications.

Golf-Course Authority

For tournaments, an organizer may create preferred player groups, preferred group order, and A/B or similar grouping information.

The applicable golf course or pro shop retains final authority over actual tee times, shotgun starting holes, course assignments, cart assignments, and other golf-course operational decisions.

9. Tournament Sponsorships

Tournament organizers may create sponsorship opportunities and share tournament-specific sponsorship pages or links.

The organizer is responsible for defining sponsorship levels, prices, benefits, complimentary golf spots, payment instructions, sponsor recognition, refund terms, and any sponsor agreement.

Unless Tune-Up Golf expressly states otherwise, payments made directly to an organizer by Zelle, Venmo, check, cash, or another method are transactions between the sponsor and organizer.

10. Golf Instructors

Golf instructors appearing on Tune-Up Golf are independent third parties unless expressly stated otherwise.

Tune-Up Golf does not guarantee or independently verify an instructor’s qualifications, certifications, experience, services, prices, availability, performance, safety, or results.

Users should independently evaluate an instructor before purchasing or participating in instruction.

Instructor listings may include basic, claimed, verified, paid, featured, or other profile types as Tune-Up Golf develops its services.

11. Golf Courses and Directory Information

Tune-Up Golf may maintain golf-course, instructor, business, sponsor, and other directory information.

Information may come from publicly available sources, seed databases, user submissions, business submissions, or other sources.

Tune-Up Golf does not guarantee that every listing is complete, current, accurate, or error-free.

Logged-in organizers may be permitted to add a genuinely missing golf course while creating a game or tournament. Tune-Up Golf may later review, correct, merge, update, or remove that record.

12. Updates & Photos

Tune-Up Golf may provide Updates & Photos feeds connected to one-time games, recurring golf groups, tournaments, or other Tune-Up Golf activities.

These feeds may contain:

• Announcements
• Game and tournament updates
• Results and winner information
• Skins or contest results
• Photographs
• Captions
• Comments
• Sponsor recognition
• Other user-generated content

One-Time Games

Content associated with a one-time game may remain tied to that particular outing and does not automatically become part of a recurring group’s permanent feed.

Recurring Groups

A recurring golf group may maintain an ongoing feed. Active group members may continue to access the private group feed even when they are not participating in a particular week’s game.

Tournaments

Tournament feeds may contain event updates, results, photos, sponsor recognition, contest results, winner information, and other tournament-related content.

13. Ownership of User Content

As between you and Tune-Up Golf, you retain ownership of original content you submit or upload to Tune-Up Golf, subject to any rights owned by other parties.

Tune-Up Golf does not claim ownership of your original photographs, comments, posts, or other original user content merely because you upload them to the platform.

14. License to Use User Content

By submitting or uploading content to Tune-Up Golf, you grant Tune-Up Golf and Express One Industries a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, reproduce, display, format, transmit, distribute, and otherwise use that content as reasonably necessary to operate, provide, secure, improve, and administer the Tune-Up Golf platform.

This license includes displaying your content to users who are authorized to view the applicable game, recurring group, tournament, profile, or other platform area.

If you or an authorized organizer designates content as public, the license also includes displaying that content through public Tune-Up Golf features, including the Tune-Up Golf Blog, public tournament pages, or other public platform areas.

This license does not transfer ownership of your original content to Tune-Up Golf.

15. Your Responsibility for Uploaded Content

You are responsible for content you submit. You represent that you have the rights, permissions, or authority necessary to upload and share that content through Tune-Up Golf.

You should not upload content that:

• Infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other rights
• Contains unlawful material
• Contains threats or harassment
• Is fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading
• Contains malicious software or harmful code
• Violates another person’s reasonable privacy
• Contains content you do not have permission to share
• Violates these Terms or another Tune-Up Golf policy

Users should consider the privacy and rights of people appearing in photographs before uploading or publicly sharing those photos.

16. Organizer Moderation

Organizers may have moderation controls for content associated with games, recurring groups, and tournaments they manage.

Available organizer controls may include:

• Approving or restricting member posting
• Removing or hiding posts
• Removing photographs
• Changing permitted visibility settings
• Downloading photographs associated with the group or event
• Reporting inappropriate content
• Managing public or private visibility

Organizer moderation does not make the organizer an employee or agent of Tune-Up Golf.

17. Removal of User Content

Where available, users may remove their own posts or photographs.

Tune-Up Golf may remove, restrict, disable access to, or refuse to display content if we reasonably believe the content:

• Violates these Terms
• Violates applicable law
• Infringes third-party rights
• Creates safety or security concerns
• Is abusive, deceptive, fraudulent, or harmful
• Creates platform or operational risk
• Is otherwise inappropriate for Tune-Up Golf

Removal from active display does not necessarily mean that every technical copy is immediately deleted from backups, security records, audit logs, or systems where temporary retention is reasonably necessary or legally permitted.

18. Public Content and Sharing

Some Tune-Up Golf content may be designated public. Public information may be viewed by people who are not members of the applicable group or event.

Public content may be copied, downloaded, indexed, shared, reposted, or otherwise retained by third parties outside Tune-Up Golf’s control.

Users should not make content public if they do not want it widely visible.
