Welcome to OnPar - The revolutionary golf handicap tracker and game analysis website...
  OnPar.co.uk - Terms & Conditions  



 


1. Introduction

This Agreement sets out your rights and obligations, and those of OnPar Golf Limited, a company registered in England under registration no. 5689784 ("OnPar.co.uk", "we" or "us"), in relation to this site and the services offered by OnPar.co.uk through it (the "OnPar Service"). By registering for the OnPar Service, you agree to the terms of this Agreement, and you re-affirm that agreement every time you use it. Visitors to the OnPar Service who do not register to become a Member (see 2 below) similarly affirm that they are bound by this Agreement each time they access the OnPar Service. You should be aware that this Agreement may change from time to time in accordance with Clause 24 below.

2. Membership Types
Anyone registering for the OnPar Service becomes a "Member".

They must be at least 18 years of age [or have the permission of a consenting Parent or Guardian].

Members may:
-record and view an unlimited number of scorecards online and analyse their golf results in detail.
-create a golf society and add their golfing partners, including posting notices on the society's message board;
-join another person as a Standard Member; and
-search for a golf course online.

We are not an internet service provider, however. To utilise the OnPar Service, you must have internet access and all the software (and skills) required for email and web usage.

3. Membership: Important
If you decide to become a Member, and therefore pay our Membership fee, you are agreeing to take the Membership we make available to you shortly after that fee is paid. You will not be entitled to any refund of that fee. Your Membership will last for twelve months and can either be paid as a 1 off payment, 4 quarterly payments or 12 monthly payments. If you wish to continue with Membership after the expiry of that twelve month period, we will enable you to do so, at our then-current terms and prices. Please note that we reserve the right to change the amount of the fee for Membership, the period which it covers, the services which it enables you to obtain and other factors from time to time. However, these changes, unless they are changes under Clause 8 or Clause 9 below, will not affect your then-current Membership.

4. Registration
You undertake to register for the OnPar Service using accurate and current information about yourself – including your correct email address and any other requested details. You also undertake only to add your accurate golf scorecards on the OnPar Service. If you are asked for, and provide, details of a credit, debit or charge card; in that event, you must ensure that (a) you are fully entitled to use that card, and (b) it has available funds sufficient to cover the charges which are deducted from it.

As part of the registration process for the OnPar Service, you will receive a verification email, the purpose of which is to take reasonable steps to ensure that the email address you have nominated during registration is controlled by you. That email contains simple instructions which you must follow.

5. Forming societies
As a Member you may form a society for the purpose of interacting with fellow golfing partners. The Member who forms the society is responsible for the content on that society's pages, including any notices or communication placed on the society's notice board. In all other respects, the society formed using the OnPar Service must comply with these terms and conditions, as altered from time to time.

6. Privacy policy
OnPar.co.uk's Privacy Policy forms part of this Agreement, and by agreeing to this Agreement, you also give your consent to the way we may handle your personal data in that policy.

7. OnPar.co.uk's Role
You, whether you are a Member or just a non-Member who visits the OnPar Service, acknowledge that we are not and cannot be responsible for the behaviour of Members - whether on the OnPar Service or outside of it. We only provide a platform where the OnPar Service may be accessed. In particular, you should be aware that OnPar.co.uk does not pre-screen or monitor the material contributed by Members, except where material is submitted through the feedback on the home page.

8. Additional services
OnPar.co.uk or its affiliates may offer new or additional services through the OnPar Service from time to time. Your use of those services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, or rules of use, which you must comply with. Provided that those terms or rules are notified to you on the OnPar Service in an appropriate manner (as determined by OnPar.co.uk in its reasonable discretion), any failure by you to comply with a material provision of the terms or rules governing those services will amount to a breach of this Agreement.

9. Operation of OnPar Service
We reserve the right to withdraw or modify one or more aspects of the OnPar Service where we have legal or technical reasons to do so (including technical difficulties experienced by OnPar.co.uk or on the Internet). There may also be times when the OnPar Service becomes unavailable, whether on a scheduled or unscheduled basis. For security or other reasons, we may require you to change password or other information which facilitates access to the OnPar Service.

10. Misuse of OnPar Service

We reserve the right (a) to suspend or terminate any Member's access to the OnPar Service, or parts of it, and/or (b) to edit, or require the Member to edit, material posted on the OnPar Service, if the relevant Member or material appears to us to be in breach of any provision of this Agreement. Any person whose access has been suspended or terminated must not re-register for, or re-access, the OnPar Service without our prior consent. You are responsible for everything which is done on or through the OnPar Service while your Membership account is logged on to the OnPar Service, or through your email address(es).

11. Relevance

The OnPar Service is intended to be used by its Members for the purposes referred to in Clause 2 above. Accordingly, Members must not:

- include an email address, postal address, phone number, the address of any website, or any other information which is intended to facilitate direct communication, in material which is posted on the OnPar Service – Members, and the recipients of their emails, can share this information, should they wish, once direct contact has been made;

- place material on, or otherwise use, the OnPar Service for any business or commercial purpose; or

- use your access to the OnPar Service, or information gathered from it, for the sending of unsolicited bulk email (sometimes known as spam).

12. Fees
(i) You acknowledge that we are entitled to alter the amount or the basis of the calculation of our fees from time to time, provided that such amount or basis is clearly stated at the time when you agree to take the relevant OnPar Service.

(ii) Fees paid by a Member will not be rebated or refunded by OnPar.co.uk, unless the OnPar Service for which the Member has subscribed is completely withdrawn from that Member by us other than in circumstances permitted under this Agreement.

We may add new or ancillary services from time to time which require the payment of fees – either to us or a nominated third party – on terms which will be provided to you at the time.

13. Prohibitions
You are responsible for ensuring that no material you post, or which is posted through a machine on which you access the OnPar Service, nor any activity or communication you make in connection with any OnPar Service, will be capable of (a) infringing the intellectual property or other rights of any person or entity, (b) breaching any applicable law, whether criminal, tortious or otherwise, or (c) appearing to be offensive, threatening, obscene, pornographic, false, unreliable or misleading.


14. Alerting OnPar.co.uk

If you see anything on the OnPar Service which appears to infringe this Agreement, then please contact us to inform us of it through the feedback on the home page. We do not generally monitor material contributed by Members when posted on the OnPar Service, except where material is submitted through the feedback on the home page. We rely upon users to point out any which infringes this Agreement.

15. Withdrawal of material and Termination of Membership
Each Member acknowledges that we are entitled to withdraw any material on the OnPar Service which appears whether based on information received from Members or others, or our own determination to be capable of breaching any part of this Agreement, or to bring the OnPar Service into disrepute. However, each user acknowledges that we do not monitor material which appears on the OnPar Service, except where material is submitted through the feedback on the home page. We rely upon you and all users to notify us of anything you see here which appears likely to breach this Agreement, using the notification techniques which are made available on the OnPar Service.

16. Disclaimer and Release
OnPar.co.uk has no control over or responsibility for the truth or accuracy of any material available on the OnPar Service, whether provided by Members or others.

If any third party sites are linked to from the OnPar Service, this does not mean that we endorse or have any responsibility for the site in question or anything which appears on it.

You should exercise no lesser degree of caution in appraising what you see on the OnPar Service than you do offline.

Even though Members are prohibited from doing so, people may provide information, or otherwise behave, in a way that is unreliable, misleading or even illegal. Further, you should note that people may not necessarily be who they say they are.

Your use of the OnPar Service is entirely at your own risk.

Accordingly, to the extent that the law permits, you release OnPar.co.uk, its directors, contractors and employees from all liability arising out of or in connection with the OnPar Service and the material included here by Members and other third parties.

17. Intellectual Property

You acknowledge that all copyright, trade marks, and other intellectual property rights in and relating to the OnPar Service (including the material which is contributed by Members) are owned by OnPar.co.uk. It is easy to copy material which appears on web-sites, but this does not mean it is legal. Therefore, no-one may copy, distribute, show in public or create any derivative work from the OnPar Service, or any of the material which is found on the OnPar Service unless properly licensed to do so by us.

By submitting any material to the content of the OnPar Service, you:

- are representing that you are fully entitled to do so;
- grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-terminable licence right to copy, modify, distribute, show in public and create derivative works from that material in any form, anywhere; and
- authorise us to adapt the relevant material in the course of doing so, and so waive your moral rights to object to any derogatory treatment, or to be identified as the author, of the material in question.

18. Excluded loss
We will not be liable to you or any third party for any indirect or consequential loss or damage, or for any loss of data, profit, revenue or business, howsoever caused (whether arising out of any negligence or breach of this Agreement or otherwise). OnPar.co.uk will also not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement caused by matters beyond its reasonable control.

19. Maximum liability
Without limiting the preceding Clause, during any period of twelve months, the aggregate liability of OnPar.co.uk under this Agreement (whether arising in negligence or otherwise) will not under any circumstances exceed the greater of (a) £50, or (b) an amount equal to the sums paid by you to us by way of Membership fees during the relevant period of twelve months, regardless of the cause or form of action.

20. Non-excluded Liabilities
Nothing in this Agreement limits OnPar.co.uk's liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence, or any other liability which may not by law be excluded. Any statutory rights you may have as a consumer remain unaffected.

21. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against all liabilities, claims and expenses that may arise from any breach of this Agreement by you or through a machine on which you access the OnPar Service.

22. Assignment
We reserve the right to assign this Agreement, and to assign or subcontract any or all of our rights and obligations under this Agreement. You may not without the written consent of OnPar.co.uk assign or dispose of this Agreement.

23. Entire Agreement
This Agreement includes our Privacy Policy. Together they contain the whole of the agreement between us and you concerning the OnPar Service and they replace all earlier agreements and understandings with you, except for any fraud or fraudulent representation by either of us. A person who is not a party to this Agreement has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to rely upon or enforce any term of this Agreement.

24. Changes to this Agreement
OnPar.co.uk reserves the right to change this Agreement from time to time, and post the new version on the OnPar Service. When we do so, we will notify you of the fact that there are changed terms on the home page(www.OnPar.co.uk), and the new version of these terms and conditions will take effect, and will govern all OnPar Services and your relationship with OnPar.co.uk:

- commencing two weeks after the date of posting (or such later date as OnPar.co.uk indicates in the relevant posting), if any of the changes is to an operative provision of this Agreement which is capable of adversely affecting you; if you do not wish to be governed by the new version of the Agreement, you may notify us on or before the date when the new version of the Agreement is to take effect, and from that date you must cease to use the OnPar Service; or

- immediately upon the date of posting (or such later date as OnPar indicates in the relevant posting), if the changes are not to operative provisions, or not capable of adversely affecting you - examples of which would include, without limitation, changes to one or more of OnPar.co.uk's addresses or email addresses referred to in this Agreement.

25. Severability
In the event that any term of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by judicial decree or decision, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable.
