These terms are the agreement between you and Sports Stats Limited ("we", "us") for your use of the Golf Director app. By downloading or using the app you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the app.
1. Your licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use Golf Director on any Apple-branded device that you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. You may use the app for your own personal, non-commercial entertainment.
You may not: copy, sell, rent, sub-licence or redistribute the app; reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble it, except where that right cannot lawfully be excluded; remove or alter any copyright or ownership notices; modify or create derivative works from it; tamper with its save data or purchases to obtain content you have not paid for; or use it in any unlawful way.
2. Ownership
The app, its source code, artwork, text, design, hole layouts, game systems and the name "Golf Director" are owned by us and protected by copyright and other laws. You are buying a licence to use the app, not the app itself. Any rights not expressly granted to you are reserved.
All golf clubs, courses, players, tournaments, tours, sponsors, broadcasters and businesses in the game are invented. Real countries appear only as settings, and some hole designs take their names from classic styles of golf architecture. The game is not affiliated with or endorsed by any real golf tour, tournament, club, governing body or player, and any resemblance to real people, events or businesses is coincidental.
3. Price and in-app purchases
Golf Director may be offered as a paid download, as a free download, or both at different times or in different countries. The price, if any, is the one shown on the App Store when you download it. Whether you paid for the app or not, the whole game, from a two-hole club to a Major, can be played without any in-app purchase.
Optional in-app purchases are offered in the club shop:
- Cash Injection and Mega Cash Injection are consumable: they add in-game money to the club you have open when you buy them, and are used up once delivered. They are not shared between saves and cannot be restored after they have been delivered.
- Signature Holes, Resort & Grandstands, Golf Empire and the Complete Collection (all three together) are non-consumable: you buy each one once, and it stays unlocked for every save on any device signed in to the same Apple Account. Each save still builds the content with in-game money. Use Restore purchases in the club shop to unlock them again on a new device or after reinstalling.
For every purchase, of the app or in the app:
- All purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Your payment relationship is with Apple, and Apple's terms govern it.
- In-game money, holes, buildings, players and everything else in the game are not real money or property and have no value outside the game. They cannot be redeemed, exchanged, transferred or cashed out.
- Purchases are final. We cannot issue refunds. Apple handles all refund requests, at Apple's discretion, through https://reportaproblem.apple.com
- If a purchase is refunded, we may remove the content or money it added.
- We may change the price of the app or of in-app purchases, change whether the app is paid or free, change what is offered, or stop offering it, at any time. A change of price does not entitle anyone to a refund or a credit. Permanent unlocks you have already bought stay unlocked in the versions of the app that include them.
If you share a device or your Apple Account with a child, use Screen Time → Content & Privacy Restrictions to disable purchases.
4. Your save data
Your progress is saved locally on your device only, in up to three save slots. There is no cloud save and no account, so we cannot recover a lost game, or money or content added to it by a purchase. Save data can be lost if you delete a club or the app, reset the device, or if it becomes corrupted. Keeping a device backup is the only protection, and it is your responsibility.
5. Updates and availability
We may release updates that change, add or remove features, rebalance the game, and stop supporting older versions of iOS. We may also stop distributing or supporting the app entirely. We are not obliged to provide updates, support or continued availability, and we owe you no refund if we discontinue the app.
6. Disclaimer of warranties
The app is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the app will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of bugs, or that any defect will be corrected.
Golf Director is a work of fiction. Its business, pricing, loan, interest-rate, sponsorship and tournament simulations are designed for entertainment and are not financial, business, tax or legal advice. Do not make real-world decisions on the basis of anything in this game.
Nothing in these terms excludes or limits any right you have as a consumer that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, lost save games, lost profits or lost purchases, arising out of your use of or inability to use the app.
Where liability cannot be excluded, our total liability to you for any claim relating to the app is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid for the app and its in-app purchases in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) £20.
8. Apple
You acknowledge that:
- These terms are between you and us, not Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.
- Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
- If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app.
- Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to conform to a legal or regulatory requirement, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy law.
- If a third party claims the app infringes its intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
- You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
- Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and upon your acceptance of them Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you.
9. Termination
This licence ends automatically if you break these terms. You can end it at any time by deleting the app. Sections 2, 6, 7, 8 and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have non-exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. This does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country in which you live.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms when the app changes. The current version will always be at https://director.games/golf-director/terms/, with the date at the top. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised terms.
