Terms of Service

Effective date: September 13, 2026

1. Agreement

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Par’d Up website and mobile app (the “Service”), operated by Gutopia Inc (“Par’d Up,” “we,” or “us”). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Community Guidelines.

2. Eligibility (13 or older)

  • You must be at least 13 years old to use Par’d Up.
  • No users under 13. Accounts created by anyone under 13 are prohibited and will be terminated when discovered.
  • Users aged 13–17 are automatically placed in Youth Mode with additional protections described in our Youth Safety Policy.
  • Parents and guardians of teen users: by permitting a minor aged 13–17 to use the Service, you agree to these Terms on their behalf and accept responsibility for their use. We encourage guardians to review the Youth Safety Policy and to add a guardian contact email in the teen’s settings.

3. What the Service is, and is not

  • Par’d Up is a golf partner matching service only: it helps golfers find compatible playing partners and organize rounds.
  • Par’d Up is not a dating service. Using the Service for dating, romantic, or intimate purposes is prohibited.
  • No intimate solicitation. Soliciting romantic or intimate contact, and any sexual advances, are prohibited.
  • No explicit content. Sexually explicit, pornographic, or graphically violent content is prohibited everywhere on the Service.
  • No harassment. Harassment, stalking, hate speech, threats, and bullying are prohibited.
  • No gambling or wagers. The Service does not support and must not be used to arrange bets, wagers, skins games for money, or gambling of any kind. Game formats labeled “skins-style” are for scorekeeping and bragging rights only.
  • No illegal activity of any kind, including solicitation of illegal transactions.
  • No unsafe meetup behavior, including pressuring users to meet outside public golf facilities, requesting home addresses, or attempting to obtain a minor’s precise location.

4. Your account

You are responsible for the accuracy of your registration information (including your date of birth), for keeping your credentials secure, and for activity under your account. Email verification is required. We may also require phone verification before you can use some features, such as messaging or posting rounds.

5. Your content and license to us

You retain ownership of content you submit (profiles, photos, posts, comments, stories, messages, and rounds). You grant Par’d Up a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content solely as needed to operate, moderate, promote features of, and improve the Service. This license ends when your content is deleted from the Service, except as needed for safety records, backups, and legal compliance. You confirm you have the rights to everything you post.

6. Moderation rights

We may review, filter, hide, or remove any content, and may use automated systems plus human review to do so. Content may be blocked before delivery, queued for review, or removed after publication. We are not obligated to pre-screen all content and do not guarantee that all objectionable content will be caught.

Par’d Up has zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive users. You agree not to post content that is harassing, hateful, sexually explicit, violent, or otherwise objectionable, and not to abuse, threaten, or impersonate other golfers. You can report any profile, post, comment, story, message, or round, and block any user. We review reports of objectionable content within 24 hours, remove content that violates these Terms or the Community Guidelines, and suspend or remove the accounts of users who post it.

7. Suspension, termination, and deleting your account

We may suspend or terminate your account, restrict features (including messaging and game posting), or remove content at our discretion, including for violations of these Terms or the Community Guidelines, risks to user safety, suspected fraud, or legal requirements. Where practical we will tell you the general reason.

You may delete your account at any time in the app (Profile, then Settings, then Delete account) or through the Delete My Data page. Deletion from the app takes effect immediately and cannot be undone.

8. Advertising

The Service shows sponsored cards from golf-related advertisers, clearly labeled “Sponsored.” We do not use third-party advertising SDKs, and we do not choose ads based on your activity. See the Advertising Policy.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. PAR’D UP DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS ON USERS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE CONDUCT, IDENTITY, OR SKILL OF ANY USER. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS, INCLUDING IN-PERSON MEETINGS AT GOLF FACILITIES. USE GOOD JUDGMENT AND REVIEW OUR SAFETY GUIDANCE.

10. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PAR’D UP AND ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (US $100) OR THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US IN THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties or damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.

11. Dispute resolution

If something goes wrong, tell us first. Contact us through the contact form and we will try to resolve it directly. Most problems are settled that way, and we would rather fix them than argue about them.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in California, and you and Par’d Up each consent to jurisdiction there.

There is no arbitration requirement and no class-action waiver in these Terms. If we ever add one we will tell you before it takes effect, as described in section 13.

12. Apple App Store terms

If you downloaded the app from the Apple App Store, you also agree that:

  • These Terms are between you and Gutopia Inc only, not Apple. Gutopia Inc, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
  • Your license to use the app is limited to a non-transferable right to use it on Apple devices you own or control, as permitted by the App Store’s Usage Rules.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app. Contact us for support.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • Gutopia Inc, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet legal or regulatory requirements, consumer protection or privacy claims, and claims that the app infringes a third party’s intellectual property.
  • You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. For material changes we will provide notice in the app or by email before the changes take effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
