1. Our Services
Yardbook Golf provides a mobile-first web application for managing season-long golf pools. The Services allow users to create and join pools, submit weekly tournament picks, and track standings over the course of the PGA Tour season. Pool formats include One-and-Done, Sixman, and Salary Cap. The Services are intended for adults 18 years of age or older. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time.
Pool commissioners pay a per-pool fee to access full platform functionality. Individual pool members may access the platform at no charge. All payments are processed securely through Stripe. Fees paid are non-refundable except as required by applicable law.
2. Intellectual Property Rights
The Services and their entire contents, features, and functionality — including but not limited to all software, text, graphics, logos, and data — are owned by Yardbook LLC and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Services for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the Services, nor may you reverse engineer or attempt to extract the source code of any software we provide.

5. User Generated Contributions
Yardbook permits users to submit content through the Services, including but not limited to chat messages, team names, emoji reactions, and profile photos (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content, but by submitting it you grant Yardbook a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute your User Content in connection with operating the Services.
You are solely responsible for your User Content. You agree not to submit content that:

Yardbook reserves the right to review, moderate, and remove any User Content at its sole discretion, without notice. Other users may report content they find objectionable, and pool commissioners may take moderation actions within their pools. Yardbook may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate these content guidelines.
Yardbook does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any User Content and is not responsible for any User Content submitted by users.
6. Contribution License

You represent that you have the right to submit such information and that doing so does not violate any third-party rights.
7. Services Management
We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Terms; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or these Terms; (3) refuse, restrict, or limit access to the Services; (4) remove or disable any content that is excessively burdensome or otherwise objectionable; and (5) manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Services.
8. Term and Termination
These Terms remain in full force while you use the Services. We reserve the right to deny access to or use of the Services to any person for any reason at any time, in our sole discretion, without notice or liability.

9. Modifications and Interruptions
We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason without notice. We are not obligated to update any information in the Services. We will not be liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of the Services. We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience technical difficulties, maintenance periods, or other interruptions. We reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, or discontinue the Services at any time without notice.
10. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which Yardbook LLC is incorporated, without regard to its conflict of law principles. You agree that any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction described in the Dispute Resolution section below.
11. Dispute Resolution
Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, you and Yardbook agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.
Binding Arbitration. If informal negotiations are unsuccessful, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall take place in the state where Yardbook LLC is incorporated. Each party shall bear its own costs, except that we will pay any arbitration fees deemed excessive by the arbitrator.
No Class Actions. You agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis only and not as a class, collective, or representative action. You waive any right to participate in class action litigation.
Limitations. Any cause of action you may have arising from or relating to the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, or it will be permanently barred.
12. Corrections
There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, and availability. We reserve the right to correct any errors and to update or change information at any time without prior notice.

You agree to the use of electronic signatures and electronic records. You waive any rights or requirements under any applicable laws that require an original (non-electronic) signature or non-electronic records.
18. Miscellaneous
These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Yardbook LLC regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. These Terms do not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and Yardbook LLC. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations freely.
