Welcome to Crown & Caddie. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“you” or “User”) and Crown & Caddie, LLC (“Crown & Caddie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) governing your access to and use of the Crown & Caddie mobile application and all related services, features, and content (collectively, the “Platform”). By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not access or use the Platform.
You must be at least 18 years of age to create a Crown & Caddie account and use the Platform. By registering, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement and that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete. Crown & Caddie is not directed to individuals under the age of 18.
To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account using your email address, Apple Sign-In, or Google Sign-In. You agree to:
You are solely responsible for all activity that occurs under your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or are inactive for an extended period.
You retain ownership of all content you create, upload, or share on the Platform (“User Content”), including posts, photos, videos, comments, stories, and profile information. By posting User Content, you grant Crown & Caddie a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, modify, display, distribute, and promote your User Content in connection with operating and improving the Platform.
You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary rights to all User Content you submit, and that your User Content does not infringe on any third party’s intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other legal rights.
You are solely responsible for the accuracy of all scores, handicap data, performance statistics, and golf-related information you submit.
Crown & Caddie provides social networking features including a Feed, Shots (short-form video), direct messaging, stories, following/followers, likes, comments, and user discovery. By using these features, you agree to:
We may monitor content and communications on the Platform to ensure compliance with these Terms and to maintain a safe community environment.
You agree not to engage in any of the following:
Crown & Caddie offers skill-based golf challenges and competitions. By participating, you agree to:
Entry fees are non-refundable once a challenge has commenced, unless the challenge is cancelled by Crown & Caddie. We employ verification systems and may require 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. All challenges are skill-based competitions governed by applicable laws.
The Platform includes a peer-to-peer marketplace where verified sellers may list, sell, and ship golf-related equipment, apparel, and accessories. Crown & Caddie acts solely as a facilitator and is not a party to transactions between buyers and sellers.
To sell on the Platform, you must complete seller verification. As a seller, you agree to:
As a buyer, you agree to:
Buyers may submit offers on marketplace listings. Sellers may accept, decline, or counter offers at their discretion. An accepted offer creates a binding commitment to complete the transaction at the agreed-upon price. Accepted offers reserve inventory and other pending offers for the same item may be automatically declined.
Marketplace payments are held in escrow by Crown & Caddie until the buyer confirms receipt of the item or the automatic release period expires (typically 3 days after delivery for standard items). This protects both buyers and sellers during the transaction process. Sellers receive payouts after the escrow period concludes and buyer confirmation is complete.
If an item is significantly not as described, damaged during shipping, or otherwise defective, the buyer may initiate a return request within the applicable window. Crown & Caddie will review disputes and may mediate between parties. Our decision in dispute resolution is final.
Crown & Caddie charges service fees on certain transactions:
All fees are disclosed prior to completing a transaction. Payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-compliant third-party payment processor. You are responsible for all applicable taxes related to your transactions.
Seller payouts are processed via Stripe Connect. Sellers are responsible for providing accurate financial information and complying with all tax reporting obligations.
