Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the websites, mobile applications, and services provided by Linksman LLC, a California limited liability company (“Linksman,” “we,” “us,” “our”), including linksman.app, the Linksman iOS and Android applications, and any related services (collectively, the “Service”). By accessing or using the Service, joining the waitlist, or creating an account, you (“you,” “User”) agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and capable of forming a binding contract in your jurisdiction to use the Service. By using the Service you represent and warrant that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is true, accurate, current, and complete.

2. The Service

Linksman is a concierge tool that helps you discover, watch, and book tee times offered by third-party golf tee-sheet providers (“Providers”), including but not limited to GolfNow, foreUP, Chronogolf, Club Prophet Systems / JC Golf, Lightspeed Golf, Tee-it-Up / Kenna, and similar platforms. Linksman is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any Provider unless explicitly stated. Linksman does not own, operate, or control any golf course or Provider system, and all tee times are subject to the terms, availability, pricing, fees, taxes, cart charges, cancellation policies, and rules of the applicable Provider and golf course.

3. Authorization to Act on Your Behalf

You expressly authorize Linksman, as your agent, to access your Provider accounts using credentials you supply, to log in on your behalf, to navigate Provider websites and applications, to fill out reservation forms, to submit bookings, to attempt cancellations on your instruction, and to take any other action reasonably necessary to deliver the Service. You acknowledge that all such activity is performed on your behalf and at your direction. You remain responsible for the terms, fees, and obligations of every Provider account you link.

4. Provider Terms, Bans, and Suspensions

You acknowledge and agree that automated access, scraping, scripted booking, agent-based access, or use of third-party tools to interact with Provider websites may violate the terms of service, acceptable use policies, or other rules of one or more Providers. Linksman makes no representation or warranty that the Service is permitted by, or compliant with, any Provider’s terms. You use the Service entirely at your own risk.

If a Provider suspends, restricts, bans, terminates, or otherwise limits your account, your credentials, your bookings, or your standing for any reason — including reasons attributable to your use of the Service — Linksman is not responsible and shall have no liability of any kind. You release Linksman from all claims, losses, damages, costs, fees, refunds, and expenses arising from or relating to any Provider action against your account or your access to any Provider, course, or tee time. This includes, without limitation, loss of saved cards, loss of saved billing information, loss of loyalty points, loss of access to member rates, loss of pre-booked reservations, and loss of any other Provider benefit.

You agree that you have reviewed, or are responsible for reviewing, the terms of every Provider you link to Linksman, and that you are solely responsible for compliance with those terms. You agree to use the Service only with Provider accounts you personally own and are authorized to access.

5. Bookings, Payments, and Cancellations

When you book a tee time through the Service, the Provider — not Linksman — is the merchant of record for the tee time. All payments for green fees, cart fees, booking fees, taxes, surcharges, and any other course charges are processed by the Provider using the payment method you have on file with that Provider. Linksman does not collect, store, or process Provider checkout payments and is not the party of record on any Provider transaction.

Linksman may charge separate subscription, concierge, or platform fees for use of the Service itself. Subscription terms, pricing, billing cycle, free trial details, and refund policy will be disclosed at the point of purchase. Except as required by law, Linksman fees are non-refundable.

Cancellation policies, booking fees, no-show fees, and rebooking rules are set by each Provider and golf course and not by Linksman. Some booking fees are non-refundable and may be retained by the Provider even if the round is cancelled, weather is poor, or you do not play. Linksman is not responsible for these charges. You agree to read the cancellation rules surfaced in the Service before confirming any booking.

6. User Conduct

You agree not to:

• Use the Service with Provider accounts or credentials that are not your own or that you are not authorized to use;
• Use the Service to reserve tee times under false names, with intent to resell, broker, or scalp tee times, or in violation of any Provider or course policy;
• Interfere with, disrupt, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service or its underlying systems;
• Use the Service to violate any law or to infringe any third-party right;
• Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or any data obtained through it without our prior written consent.

We may suspend or terminate your account at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms or for any other reason in our sole discretion.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including all software, designs, text, logos, marks, graphics, and content provided by Linksman, is owned by or licensed to Linksman and is protected by intellectual property laws. Linksman grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8. Beta and Early-Access Disclaimers

Portions of the Service may be offered as beta, preview, early access, or experimental features. These features are provided “as is” and may be modified, suspended, or discontinued at any time without notice. Beta features may produce errors, miss bookings, mis-cancel reservations, fail to deliver alerts, or otherwise misbehave. You agree to use beta features at your own risk and not to rely on them for any time-sensitive or financially significant activity.

9. Disclaimers; No Warranty

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR UNINTERRUPTED USE. LINKSMAN DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY TEE TIME WILL BE AVAILABLE, BOOKABLE, HELD, CONFIRMED, OR HONORED BY ANY PROVIDER OR COURSE; THAT ALERTS OR NOTIFICATIONS WILL ARRIVE ON TIME OR AT ALL; THAT PRICING OR AVAILABILITY DATA WILL BE ACCURATE; OR THAT YOUR PROVIDER ACCOUNTS WILL REMAIN IN GOOD STANDING. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL LINKSMAN, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, DATA, OR USE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, EVEN IF LINKSMAN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY EVENT, LINKSMAN’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE — REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OR THEORY OF ACTION — SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (b) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO LINKSMAN, IF ANY, IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS LINKSMAN’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Linksman and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, and licensors from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) your use or misuse of the Service, (b) your violation of these Terms, (c) your violation of any law, regulation, or third-party right (including any Provider’s terms of service), or (d) any action taken by Linksman on your authorization, including any action that results in a Provider banning, suspending, or restricting your Provider account or access.

12. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service at any time, for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, intellectual-property terms, and dispute-resolution provisions — will survive.

13. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be conducted in San Diego County, California, or remotely at the parties’ election. You and Linksman each waive any right to a jury trial and to participate in any class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual-property rights or confidential information.

14. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated by email or in-app notice. Continued use of the Service after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

15. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Linksman regarding the Service and supersede all prior agreements. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may freely assign these Terms.
