Foreboard — Terms of Service
These terms apply when you download or use Foreboard ("the app"), published by Thumb Fort (Pty) Ltd ("we"). By using it, you agree to them. If you get the app from Google Play, Google's own terms also apply to the download.
1. Your licence to use the app
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to install and use the app on devices you own or control, to score golf days you take part in. The app, including its artwork, rules and code, remains ours. You may not copy, sell, rent, modify, reverse-engineer or redistribute it, except where the law gives you a right to.
2. Days, codes, scorers and links
A golf day is created by an organiser, who receives a code and a PIN. Anyone with the code can join the day and see its names and scores. The organiser's PIN can change anything. A phone the organiser names as a fourball's scorer enters that fourball's scores and fines. A clubhouse PIN that the organiser may hand out corrects scores and handicaps, marks cards as checked and closes or reopens a fourball's round. Any phone that has joined the day may set a golfer's tee, confirm a golfer's card, and confirm a golfer's playing handicap until that golfer's card has scores; every handicap change made from a phone is logged on the day. The organiser also receives a link for a clubhouse screen that shows the leaderboard to anyone who opens it. You are responsible for who you give a code, a PIN or a link to. We may close or remove a day that is used for anything unlawful or abusive.
3. Money
The app records entry fees, fines and prizes as agreed between the players and shows who owes what. It takes no payments, holds no money and is not a betting or gambling service. Whether and how anything is settled is a matter between the players, under the laws that apply to them.
4. Fair play
Please don't tamper with the app, its stored data or our server, and don't use the app for anything unlawful. Scores are entered by people and may be wrong; the organiser can correct them, and we are not a referee.
5. Your data
Days are stored on our server so every phone sees the same scores, and are deleted on the schedule set out in the privacy policy at thumbfort.games/Foreboard/privacy. We may lose a day to a fault; keep the printable card if a result matters.
6. The distance map
The distance map in the Android app (from version 1.1) is provided through Google Maps and is subject to the Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service and Google's privacy policy. Distances are measured from your phone's reported position and the map's imagery and may be out by several metres; use them as a guide, not as a measurement for anything that matters. The map needs a working connection and your permission to use location; without them the rest of the app works as before.
7. Early access and testing
Foreboard is new. Features, rules and visuals will change, and a later version may not read days saved by an earlier one. Feedback you send us may be used to improve the app without any obligation to you.
8. Changes to the app and these terms
If these terms change materially, the effective date above changes and the new terms apply from your next update of the app.
9. Warranty and liability
The app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, to the extent your local law allows. To the same extent, our liability for any loss arising from the app, including a lost or wrong score or a wrong distance, is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the last twelve months (for a free app, nothing). Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
10. Termination
You can stop using the app at any time by uninstalling it. We may end this licence if you materially breach these terms.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of South Africa, without affecting any mandatory consumer protections of the country you live in.
