Crown & Caddie offers skill-based golf challenges, tournaments, and competitions. All competitions on the Platform are currently free to enter and do not involve cash entry fees, cash prizes, prize pools, or any form of monetary wagering between users. By participating, you agree to:
We employ verification systems and may require GPS data, photo, or video evidence to ensure fair play. Crown & Caddie reserves the right to disqualify any participant who violates challenge rules.
Crown & Caddie is not a gambling platform and does not encourage or condone gambling. All challenges are skill-based competitions. Crown & Caddie does not collect, hold, or distribute funds or anything of value in connection with any competition.
The Platform includes a peer-to-peer classifieds section where users may list golf-related equipment, apparel, and accessories for sale. Crown & Caddie acts solely as a listing service and is not a party to any transaction between users. We do not endorse, vouch for or have knowledge of the condition, genuineness or suitability for any purpose of any such listed items and make no warranties or representations regarding items listed by users on the Platform.
Important: Crown & Caddie does not process payments, hold funds in escrow, ship items, or facilitate the exchange of money between buyers and sellers. All transactions occur directly between users, off-Platform, on terms agreed to privately by and between the parties (e.g., cash on local pickup, third-party payment apps such as Venmo or PayPal Goods & Services, eBay, etc.).
As a seller listing items, you agree to:
As a buyer, you agree to:
Buyers may submit non-binding offers to sellers through the Platform's offer feature. Sellers may accept, decline, or counter offers at their discretion. An accepted offer indicates the parties' intent to transact at the agreed-upon price; the actual transaction is completed off-Platform between the parties. Crown & Caddie is not a party to any such transaction.
Crown & Caddie does not mediate, arbitrate, or guarantee outcomes of disputes between buyers and sellers. Users transact at their own risk. We strongly encourage in-person inspection at the time of pickup before any payment is exchanged.
Crown & Caddie offers an optional paid subscription called Crown Membership, which unlocks additional features within the Platform. Use of the Platform itself is free; Crown Membership is the only paid offering.
Crown Membership is sold exclusively through the Crown & Caddie app, and any related payments are processed through and by your existing Apple or Google account. Crown & Caddie does not collect or store your full payment card number; all payment information is handled solely by Apple or Google.
Crown Membership is a recurring subscription priced as posted on the subscription page at the time of your purchase that automatically renews on a monthly basis until you cancel. By subscribing, you authorize Crown & Caddie to process your subscription renewal on each renewal date. The renewal price may differ from the introductory price; we will notify you in advance of any price increase.
You may cancel your Crown Membership at any time through your Apple or Google account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; you will retain access to membership features until that date. We do not charge cancellation fees.
Crown Membership fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law (for example, certain consumer protection statutes in your jurisdiction). If you believe you are entitled to a refund, please contact us at legal@crownandcaddie.com.
We reserve the right to modify the price or benefits of Crown Membership upon at least thirty (30) days' advance notice provided through email and/or in-app notification. If you do not agree to a price change, you may cancel before the change takes effect. You agree that you are responsible for timely reviewing communications from us and notifications sent through the app.
You acknowledge that Crown Membership payments are only processed by Apple and/or Google, but that those entities are not responsible for customer support related to Crown Membership.
