1. Who May Use the Services
To use the Services, you must be (a) eighteen (18) years of age or older and (b) reside in a jurisdiction in which your use of the Services is not restricted by that jurisdiction’s laws. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and any misrepresentation in that regard is a breach of these Terms.
2. User Accounts
- Creating and Safeguarding your Account. To use the Services, you need to create an account or link another account, such as your Apple, Facebook or Google account (“Account”). You must provide accurate, complete and updated information for your Account. You can access, edit and update your Account by going to your profile page in the App. You are solely responsible for any activity associated with your Account and for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your password. We are not liable for any acts or omissions by you in connection with your Account. You must immediately notify us at info@andrew.golfif you know or have any reason to suspect that your Account or password have been stolen, misappropriated or otherwise compromised, or in case of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of your Account. You agree not to create any Account if we have previously removed your Account, or if we previously banned you from any of our Services, unless we provide written consent otherwise.
- Identity Verification Processing Fee. When You create an Account, Andrew Golf may charge an identity verification processing fee in the amount of $1.00. This fee is to offset the cost of identity verification processing performed by our contractors and as required by our payment processing partners, as well as applicable laws and regulations. The fee will be automatically deducted from your balance upon your first deposit. Without limiting any of its other rights under these Terms, Andrew Golf may revise and revisit this policy (including the amount of the processing fee) at its discretion.
3. Description of the app.
- In General. The App offers players the opportunity to compete in peer-to-peer gaming and wagering with regard to the game of golf (“Contests”). Andrew Golf offers players a mobile community, wagering exchange marketplace and social connections. Players can engage in multiple Contests at a time, track their results on the App and make peer-to-peer skill-based wagers on certain Contests. The App also offers player stats and a scorecard.
- Games of Skill. Each Contest offered within the App is designed as a game of skill that rewards the top performing players with the prize. Certain Contests are private while others are public. Skills used in the determination of the winner depend on the specific nature of the Contest. For example, when players are wagering on their own performance within a golf game, they are using their skills of dexterity, reaction time, hand-eye coordination, course and conditions analysis, and strategic decision-making. With exchange style peer-to-peer wagering, the respective parties must use their knowledge of the game, the course, the players, past play analysis, and other skill-based factors to craft and propose (or accept) peer-to-peer offers.
- Contest Description. Each Contest offered via the Services will include a description that sets forth (i) the requirements and other rules for participation in the Contest, if any (ii) the wager, cash amount, or other representative of value (including but not limited to digital trophies or virtual goods) that may be won from the Contest (the “Prizes”) and (iii) if applicable, the rank amongst all Contest participants that you must achieve to receive any Prizes.
- No Purchase Necessary to Register. There is no fee to register for an Account.
4. Prizes and Winnings
- Promotional Codes. We may offer certain promotional codes, referral codes, discount codes, coupon codes or similar offers (“Promotional Codes”) that may be redeemed for features or benefits related to the Services, subject to any additional terms that the Company establishes. You agree that Promotional Codes: (a) must be used in a lawful manner, (b) must be used for the intended audience and purpose, (c) may not be duplicated, sold or transferred in any manner, or made available by you to the general public (whether posted to a public forum, coupon collecting service, or otherwise), unless expressly permitted by the Company, (d) may be disabled or have additional conditions applied to them by the Company at any time for any reason without liability to the Company, (e) may only be used pursuant to the specific terms that the Company establishes for such Promotional Code, (f) are not valid for cash or other value; and (g) may expire prior to your use.
- Changes to Contests and Prizes. The Company may, at any time, revise or change the requirements to entry, availability, specifications, content, descriptions or features, as applicable, of any Contests and Prizes. While we attempt to be as accurate as we can in our descriptions for the Contests and Prizes, but we do not warrant that the descriptions are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a Contest or Prize itself is not as described on the Services, your sole remedy is to contact us to request a refund of payment or correction of your Account. The inclusion of any Contests for entry or Prizes to be won through participation in the Contests at a particular time does not imply or warrant future availability.
- Prize Distribution. If you are eligible to receive a Prize, we may require that you provide proof that you are, or were at the time of your participation in the applicable Contest, eligible to participate in accordance with the Contest description and these Terms, and that your participation was in accordance therewith. If you do not provide such proof to our reasonable satisfaction, you may forfeit the Prize. In the case of Prizes that are physical products, title and risk of loss for the Prizes pass to you upon our delivery to our carrier. Shipment is through third party couriers. In the case of cash Prizes, your Prize will be deposited in your digital wallet (“Wallet”) that may be accessed on your profile page in the App. To withdraw funds from your Wallet, you will be required to designate the bank account that you would like your funds to be deposited in, and provide certain requested information about your bank account and your bank. You may request a withdrawal of funds in any amount above our ten-dollar ($10) withdrawal minimum from your available Wallet balance at any time, and the processing of requested funds will be done in the form of a direct deposit into the bank account you have designated. Please note that we may, in our sole discretion, freeze your Account and/or delay a request for withdrawal of funds from your Wallet pending completion of any investigation of reported or suspected fraud or to comply with applicable laws. We retain sole, absolute, and non-appealable discretion to determine the winner of each Contest. By participating in any Contest, you agree to be bound by our final decision, including and up to disqualification, forfeiture of prize funds, or any other remedy available under these Terms and under the law.
- Taxes. If you are a United States resident, we may send you an IRS Form W-9 to request your social security number so that we may send you a 1099-MISC or other appropriate form if your Winnings total six hundred dollars ($600) or more in any given calendar year (or other amount that triggers our obligation to file notice with the IRS). Depending on the state in which you reside, we may also send you additional federal or state tax forms. If you fail to complete and return the IRS Form W-9 when required, we may suspend or terminate your Account or access to the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, we may withhold from your existing Wallet balance and/or delay deposit of any Prize amount into your bank account. We may withhold any amount required to be withheld by applicable laws, including amounts due in connection with your failure to complete relevant tax documentation. You are solely responsible for paying all federal, state and other taxes related to your Prizes in accordance with all applicable laws. Further, we may charge a processing fee equal to $2.00, which will be deducted from your current Account balance. If your Account does not contain sufficient funds to cover the processing fee, your Account will show a debit amount sufficient to cover the processing fee until your next deposit. This fee is to offset the cost of documentation and processing performed by our contractors. Without limiting any of its other rights under these Terms, Andrew Golf may revise and revisit this policy (including the amount of the processing fee) at its discretion.
- Manufacturer’s Warranty and Disclaimers. Some of the Prizes may be manufactured or provided by third parties. We do not endorse or have any affiliation with such manufacturer or sponsor. Please direct any warranty or service-related claims directly to the manufacturer.

10. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
- PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
- Informal Process First. You and the Company agree that in the event of any dispute between you and the Company Entities, either party will first contact the other party and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation, any court action, after first allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Both you and the Company agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against the other party.
- Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver. After the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to the Company Entities including the Services, the Prizes, and any use or access or lack of access thereto, will be resolved by arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim. You and the Company agree that any Claim will be settled by final and binding arbitration, using the English language, administered by JAMSunder its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) then in effect (those rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this section, and as of the date of these Terms). Because your contract with the Company, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, the arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Arbitration will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction. Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis – class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You understand that by agreeing to these Terms, you and the Company are each waiving the right to trial by jury or to participate in a class action or class arbitration.
- Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and the Company agree that the following types of disputes will be resolved in a court of proper jurisdiction:
- disputes or claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual dispute and not as a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding;
- disputes or claims where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief); or
- intellectual property disputes.
- Costs of Arbitration. Each party is responsible for its own costs and expenses related to arbitration and the Claim, except that
fees and costs may be awarded as provided pursuant to applicable law. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules. Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to optout@andrew.golf or to the U.S. mailing address listed in the “How to Contact Us” section of these Terms. The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your first registering to use or use of the Services or agreeing to these Terms; otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may not opt out of only the class action waiver and not the arbitration provisions. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.
- WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BRING CLASS ACTION AND REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and the Company each agree that any proceeding to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy will be brought and conducted ONLY IN THE RESPECTIVE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS PART OF ANY CLASS (OR PURPORTED CLASS), CONSOLIDATED, MULTIPLE-PLAINTIFF, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION. YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM. IF THE DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE CLAIMS, CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION, OR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. FURTHER, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS FOR MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND IT MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS ACTION. For the avoidance of doubt, however, you can seek public injunctive relief to the extent authorized by law and consistent with the Exceptions clause above.
IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION. If a court decides that the limitations of this paragraph are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or consolidated or representative action must be brought in a court of proper jurisdiction and not in arbitration.

- Termination of License and Your Account. If you breach any of the provisions of these Terms, all licenses granted by the Company terminate immediately and automatically. Additionally, the Company may suspend, disable, or delete your Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason and without any obligation or liability to you. If the Company deletes your Account for any suspected breach of these Terms by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name and any Prizes, and amounts in your Wallet may be forfeited. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of these Terms by the Company or you. Termination will not limit any of the Company’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.
- Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms will cause irreparable injury to the Company for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and the Company shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112 Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
- Export Laws. You agree that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, the Services and/or other information or materials provided by the Company hereunder, to any country for which the United States or any other relevant jurisdiction requires any export license or other governmental approval at the time of export without first obtaining such license or approval. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or any country that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country, or (b) to anyone listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties, including the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in any such country or on any such list. You are responsible for and hereby agree to comply at your sole expense with all applicable United States export laws and regulations.
- Miscellaneous. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by the Company but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of the Company. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect. The Services are operated by us in the United States. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside the United States do so at their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with applicable local laws. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws rules, and the proper venue for any disputes arising out of or relating to any of the same will be the arbitration venue set forth in Section 10, or if arbitration does not apply, then the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. You and the Company agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms.
