TERMS OF PLAY

What these terms cover. These terms (the “Terms”) govern your use of the services offered by Puttshack USA Inc. (“Puttshack”, “we”, “us”, “our”) to users (“you”, “your”, “users”) at any of our venues, via our website and/or when using a kiosk at one of our venues (a “Console”) and any associated applications or programs which Puttshack may release from time to time (the “Service”).

Why you need to read these Terms. You must read these Terms carefully and make sure that you understand them before registering as a Puttshack Perks Member (defined below) with us. You agree that by clicking “Accept” on our Consoles, or registering for a Puttshack Perks Account, you are entering into a legally binding agreement with us. If you do not understand or do not accept any part of these Terms, then you must not accept them and should speak to a member of our staff, who will clarify anything that you do not understand.

Your Puttshack Perks Account. By clicking “Accept” at the end of these Terms, you will create an electronic user account (a “Puttshack Perks Account”) with us that will remain after your first visit to our venue as a Puttshack Perks Member has ended and which will be used by you each time you visit one of our venues as a Puttshack Perks Member (each visit a “Session”). For more information on how the data that you may store within that account may be used, please see the ‘Your Account’ and ‘Data Protection’ sections below, as well as our Privacy Policy found HERE.

For the avoidance of doubt, by creating a Puttshack Perks Account with us and registering as a Puttshack Perks Member, you are agreeing to these Terms.

A user may be either a registered user of our Services (a “Puttshack Perks Member”), or an unregistered user who accesses our venue who either uses or does not use our Services (a “Visitor”).

  1. INFORMATION ABOUT US AND HOW TO CONTACT US
    Who we are. We are Puttshack USA Inc. You can contact us at:
    Puttshack
    303 W. Erie St.
    Chicago,
    IL 60654
    Email: help@puttshack.com

  2. SAFE USE OF GOLF EQUIPMENT
    Our premises feature several golf games and courses. To ensure that you and other players are kept safe you must not at any point conduct yourself in a way that could endanger the health or safety of any of our guests, including by raising the head of any putter given to you above knee height or using your putter to touch any other player. This rule is closely monitored by our security personnel and course staff. We have a zero-tolerance policy on the improper use of putters and any individual seen breaking this rule or encouraging any other individual to do so will be asked to leave our venue immediately.

  3. OUTSIDE FOOD AND BEVERAGE
    Puttshack is committed to maintaining a clean, safe, and healthy environment for its guests. One of the ways we do this is by strictly enforcing our policies regarding bringing outside food and beverages into the venue. Outside food and drink are not permitted in any of our venues. We do not allow thermoses, coolers, cups, or any other containers that create a risk of spillage.

  4. YOUR ACCOUNT
    You must be 18 years of age or older to create a Puttshack Perks Account. You are responsible for the content of your Puttshack Perks Account, including making sure that the details that you enter are correct and that you keep those details up to date if they change.

    If you are under 18 years of age, you must have a parent or legal guardian create your account. Your parent or legal guardian will then be responsible for you and your Puttshack Perks Account.

    If you are over the age of 18 when creating a Puttshack Perks Account, you consent to being bound by these Terms. If you are under the age of 18, consent to being bound by these Terms must be given or authorized by a person holding parental or guardianship responsibility over you before you will be able to create a Puttshack Perks Account.
    If you think your account is being, or has been, used by anyone else, please contact us immediately at help@puttshack.com. If we believe your account has been compromised, we may suspend your account and we will contact you to try and resolve the problem.

    You must provide true and accurate information when registering your Puttshack Perks Account and you must not use your Puttshack Perks Account to impersonate any person (real or fictional) nor use any name you are not legally authorized to use.
