Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of terms

Fulcrum Golf is operated by Wedge Golf Ventures LLC ("Fulcrum Golf," "we," "us," or "our"). By creating an account or using Fulcrum Golf, you agree to these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Fulcrum Golf.

2. Beta service

Fulcrum Golf is currently in beta. That means the service is still being actively built and tested, and you should expect:

• Features may change, break, or be removed without notice
• Uptime and support response times are not guaranteed
• Data (including your profile, posts, and messages) may need to be reset or migrated as we make changes. We'll try to avoid this, but can't promise it won't happen during beta
• Bugs are more likely than in a mature product, please report anything odd

The beta is provided free of charge and as-is. We may end the beta, or transition to a paid or invite-limited model, at any time.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use Fulcrum Golf. By signing up, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle date of birth.

4. Your account

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity on your account. One account per person: no fake profiles or impersonating someone else.

5. Community conduct

Members agree not to:

• Harass, threaten, or discriminate against other members
• Post false, misleading, or fraudulent information
• Use Fulcrum Golf for commercial solicitation, spam, or unauthorized advertising
• Attempt to access another member's account or data without authorization
• Use the service for anything illegal

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. The specific steps we follow when that happens are laid out in full in our Community Guidelines. If you experience or witness a violation, you can report it directly from that member's profile, or contact us using the details in Section 16. Reports are retained to help us investigate and enforce these terms, but are deleted if the reported member later deletes their account, see our Privacy Policy Section 6.

6. In-person meetups: please read carefully

Fulcrum Golf helps you find and arrange rounds with other members, but Fulcrum Golf does not conduct background checks on members and cannot guarantee the identity, intentions, or conduct of anyone you meet through the service.

Any time you meet, play, or otherwise interact with another member, in person or otherwise, you do so entirely at your own risk. We strongly recommend you:

• Meet first at the course or another public place
• Tell a friend or family member where you're going and who with
• Trust your judgment, and leave any situation that feels unsafe
• Report concerning behavior to us so we can review the account

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fulcrum Golf is not responsible or liable for the conduct of any member, on or off the platform, including at any round, event, or meetup arranged through the service.

7. Your content

You keep ownership of the posts, photos, reviews, and messages you share on Fulcrum Golf. By posting content, you grant us a license to store, display, and distribute it within the service as needed to operate Fulcrum Golf.

8. Termination

You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. We may suspend or terminate your access if you violate these terms or if we believe doing so is necessary to protect the community.

9. Disclaimers and limitation of liability

Fulcrum Golf is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We don't guarantee that you'll be matched with a group, that matches will meet your expectations, or that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, especially during the beta period described in Section 2.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Fulcrum Golf and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the service, including damages related to interactions or meetups with other members (see Section 6). Our total liability for any claim relating to Fulcrum Golf is limited to the amount, if any, you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Fulcrum Golf harmless from claims arising out of your misuse of the service, your violation of these terms, or your interactions with other members.

11. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

12. Dispute resolution and arbitration

Most concerns can be resolved by contacting us directly (Section 16) before starting a formal dispute, and we encourage you to try that first.

If a dispute can't be resolved informally, you and Fulcrum Golf agree that it will be resolved through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, and will take place in the county where you reside or another mutually agreed location, or may be conducted by phone, video, or written submissions where the rules allow. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding, subject only to the limited right of appeal provided under the Federal Arbitration Act.

You and Fulcrum Golf each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, that claim or request must be brought in court, but the rest of this arbitration agreement still applies to everything else.

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by contacting us through our contact form within 30 days of first accepting these terms, stating clearly that you want to opt out of arbitration. Opting out doesn't affect any other part of these terms.

13. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

We respect intellectual property rights and respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in content posted on Fulcrum Golf, consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

If you believe content on Fulcrum Golf infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent below that includes: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed; identification of the specific material you claim is infringing, and where it's located on Fulcrum Golf; your contact information (address, phone number, and email); a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you're authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Designated agent for notice: [DMCA AGENT: name, address, and email needed once registered with the U.S. Copyright Office].

If we remove content in response to a notice, the person who posted it may submit a counter-notification under the DMCA, and we'll follow the process the DMCA sets out for that. We may terminate the accounts of members who are repeat infringers.

14. Miscellaneous

If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest of these terms remain in full effect, and the unenforceable part will be interpreted to reflect the parties' original intent as closely as possible.

These terms, along with our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines, are the entire agreement between you and Fulcrum Golf regarding your use of the service, and replace any earlier agreements on the same subject.

15. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We'll post the updated version here with a new "last updated" date. Continuing to use Fulcrum Golf after a change means you accept the updated terms.
