These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Family Farms Forever, LLC (“Company,” “we,” “us”), the publisher of the Ballzy mobile application and related services (the “App”). By downloading, creating an account, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Who we are
The App is owned and operated by Family Farms Forever, LLC. References to “we” or “us” mean Family Farms Forever, LLC and its members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates.
2. Eligibility & accounts
You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to use the App. You are responsible for your account, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity that occurs under your account.
3. The App is a tool, not advice
Distances, GPS positions, the rangefinder, club recommendations, wind and weather, course busyness, pace-of-play estimates, and scoring are provided for convenience only and are ESTIMATES that may be inaccurate or out of date. They are not a substitute for your own judgment. Do not rely on the App for safety, navigation, or any decision where an error could cause harm.
4. Assumption of risk (golf & physical activity)
Golf is a physical, outdoor activity that carries inherent risks, including being struck by a ball or club, slips and falls, golf cart use, weather and lightning, and contact with terrain, water, and wildlife. You voluntarily assume all such risks. Do not use the App while swinging, while operating a golf cart or vehicle, or in any way that distracts you from your surroundings. Always follow the rules, staff instructions, and safety guidance of the course you are playing.
5. Courses, tee times & payments
Golf courses, their staff, menus, tee-time availability, pricing, and policies are controlled by independent third parties, not by us. When you book a tee time or order food or merchandise, you are contracting with the course, not with Family Farms Forever, LLC. We are not responsible for a course’s acts, omissions, cancellations, closures, refunds, conditions, or the quality of any goods or services. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. under its own terms; we do not store your full card details. Course-listed information (including hole counts and addresses) may come from public data sources and may be incomplete or incorrect.
6. User content & conduct
You are solely responsible for content you post (scores, photos, reviews, conditions reports, messages). Do not post anything unlawful, infringing, harassing, or false. We may remove content or suspend accounts at our discretion. You grant us a non-exclusive license to host and display your content for the purpose of operating the App.
7. Third-party data & services
The App relies on third-party data and services, including Google Firebase, Stripe, OpenStreetMap, and weather providers. Their data is provided “as is” and we do not warrant its accuracy or availability.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE APP IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FAMILY FARMS FOREVER, LLC AND ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OWNERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST PROFITS, OR LOST DATA, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE APP, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US $50. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Indemnification / hold harmless
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Family Farms Forever, LLC and its members, managers, owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the App; (b) your violation of these Terms or any law; (c) your content; or (d) any injury, loss, or damage you suffer or cause while using the App or playing golf. This obligation survives termination of your account.
11. Termination
You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time from Settings. We may suspend or terminate access at our discretion. Sections that by their nature should survive (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) survive termination.
12. Governing law & changes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. We may update these Terms; material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above, and your continued use means you accept the updated Terms.
