Terms of Service

Last Updated: June 7, 2026

Welcome to auTEEmatic. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the auTEEmatic website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the “Service”) operated by auTEEmatic LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“auTEEmatic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

auTEEmatic is a tee-time monitoring and alert service. We monitor publicly available tee-time availability at golf courses and third-party booking platforms and send you notifications when matching tee times become available based on criteria you set (“Alerts”).

Important: auTEEmatic does not book, reserve, hold, or guarantee tee times. We are an information and alert service only. All bookings must be made by you directly through the applicable golf course, booking platform, or third party. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with any golf course or third-party booking platform unless expressly stated.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements and that all information you provide is accurate and current.

3. Accounts

To use most features, you must create an account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and current information;
  • Keep your password confidential;
  • Be responsible for all activity that occurs under your account; and
  • Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use.

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe pose a risk to the Service or to other users.

4. Free and Paid Plans

auTEEmatic offers both free and paid subscription tiers. Features, limits (such as the number of active watchers, alert frequency, or course coverage), and pricing for paid plans are described in the Service and may change from time to time.

Billing. Paid subscriptions are billed in advance on a recurring basis (monthly or annually, as selected). By subscribing, you authorize us and our payment processor to charge your payment method for the applicable fees, including any taxes.

Renewals. Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current rate unless you cancel before the renewal date through your account settings or, for in-app purchases, through your Apple or Google account settings.

Cancellation. You may cancel a paid subscription at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you will retain paid features until then.

Refunds. Except where required by law, fees are non-refundable. We may, at our sole discretion, offer refunds or credits in individual cases. For subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store or Google Play, refund requests must be made directly to Apple or Google.

Price changes. We may change subscription prices with at least 30 days’ notice before the change takes effect for you. If you do not agree, you may cancel before the change applies.

Free tier. Free features are provided “as is” and may be modified, limited, or discontinued at any time without notice.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Use the Service for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law or regulation;
  • Resell, sublicense, or commercially exploit the Service or Alerts without our prior written consent;
  • Use bots, scripts, or other automated means to interact with the Service beyond the functionality we provide;
  • Attempt to interfere with, compromise, or disrupt the Service, our servers, or other users;
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service, except to the extent applicable law expressly permits;
  • Use the Service to harass, abuse, or harm another person; or
  • Impersonate any person or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity.

We may investigate and take appropriate action, including suspending or terminating your access, for any violation.

6. Alerts; No Guarantee of Availability

You understand and agree that:

  • Tee-time availability changes constantly and is controlled by golf courses and third-party booking platforms, not by us;
  • Alerts are sent on a best-effort basis and may be delayed, undelivered, inaccurate, or duplicative due to factors outside our control, including changes to third-party websites, network issues, or technical errors;
  • A tee time identified in an Alert may be booked by someone else before you can complete a reservation;
  • We do not guarantee that you will be able to book any tee time identified in an Alert; and
  • You are solely responsible for completing bookings, paying any fees, and complying with the rules of the golf course or booking platform.

We are not liable for any missed tee time, lost opportunity, travel cost, or other loss that results from any Alert, any failure or delay of the Service, or any third party’s actions.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service relies on and links to third-party services, including golf courses’ own websites and third-party booking platforms such as GolfNow, TeeOff, and municipal booking portals (“Third-Party Services”). Your use of any Third-Party Service is governed by that service’s own terms and privacy policies, which we do not control and are not responsible for. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, availability, accuracy, or practices of any Third-Party Service.

8. Intellectual Property

The Service, including the auTEEmatic name, logo, mascot, “WE WATCH. YOU PLAY.” tagline, software, content, course database, and all related intellectual property, is owned by auTEEmatic or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, subject to these Terms.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of any part of the Service without our prior written consent.

9. User Content and Feedback

If you submit suggestions, feedback, ideas, or other materials to us (“Feedback”), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate the Feedback into the Service or our business without any obligation to you.

10. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information about you. By using the Service, you agree to our Privacy Policy.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing or usage of trade.

We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, or accurate, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service or the servers that make it available are free of viruses or other harmful components. We make no warranty regarding the availability, accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of any Alert, tee time, course information, or other content delivered through the Service.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties; in those jurisdictions, the above exclusions apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL auTEEmatic, ITS AFFILIATES, OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, ANY ALERT, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

OUR TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for certain damages; in those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless auTEEmatic and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any applicable law or any right of a third party (including any Third-Party Service’s terms); or (d) any content you submit through the Service.

14. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time by deleting your account through the Service.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you have violated these Terms, if required by law, or to protect the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 16) will survive.

15. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Arbitration

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

Informal resolution. Before filing any claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [email protected]. We will try to resolve the dispute within 60 days.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute that is not resolved informally will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware or by video conference, at your option. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Class action waiver. YOU AND auTEEmatic AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class proceeding.

30-day opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice to [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, address, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in court for claims relating to intellectual property infringement.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after the changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, stop using the Service.

17. Apple App Store Additional Terms

If you access the Service through an Apple iOS application, you acknowledge that these Terms are between you and auTEEmatic only, not with Apple Inc. (“Apple”), and Apple is not responsible for the Service or its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the Service. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any) for the application; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

18. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements.

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

No waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision.

Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of our assets.

No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates any agency, partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between you and us.
