Terms of Service

Last updated: August 11, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Yardage Book website at golfyardagebook.com (the "Site") — operated by WGT Solutions LLC — and any products, services, content, or communications offered through it. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. About the Service

Yardage Book provides golf rules education and entertainment, including free content, email newsletters, digital guides, and links to merchandise sold through third-party platforms (including Etsy and Gumroad). We are an independent content brand and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the USGA, the R&A, or any professional golf organization. References to the Rules of Golf are based on the published Rules of Golf (2023) for general informational purposes.

2. Content Is Informational Only

All content on the Site — including rules explanations, guides, cheat sheets, and videos — is provided for general informational and entertainment purposes only. It is not a substitute for the official Rules of Golf or for professional advice. Golf rules can be complex and context-dependent; when a ruling matters (competitions, handicaps, disputes), consult the official rules or a qualified referee. You use golf-related information at your own discretion.

3. Accounts & Email Subscriptions

• Subscribing to our email list requires a valid email address. You agree to provide accurate information.
• You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send.
• We are not responsible for emails that are filtered as spam, blocked, or undelivered due to your provider's settings.

4. Digital Products (Gumroad)

• Digital guides and templates are sold through Gumroad, a third-party platform. Your purchase is subject to Gumroad's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, in addition to these Terms.
• After purchase, digital products are delivered via the download mechanism provided by the platform. We recommend downloading and backing up your files promptly.
• License: When you purchase a digital product, you receive a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use it for your own purposes. You may not resell, redistribute, share, or publicly post the purchased content.
• Refunds: Because digital products are delivered instantly, all sales are final unless required otherwise by applicable law or the platform's refund policy. If a product is defective or undeliverable, contact us and we'll make it right.

5. Merchandise (Etsy / Print-on-Demand)

• Merchandise is sold through our Etsy shop and fulfilled by our print-on-demand provider (Printify). Your purchase is subject to Etsy's Terms of Service and the listing's stated policies.
• Product colors, sizes, and designs may vary slightly from on-screen previews due to printing and manufacturing tolerances.
• Returns, exchanges, and shipping issues are handled through the Etsy platform and the applicable policies listed on the shop.
• We are not responsible for delays caused by carriers or third-party fulfillment.

6. Intellectual Property

• All content on the Site — including text, graphics, logos, video, audio, and design — is owned by or licensed to Yardage Book and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
• You may share links to our content and quote brief excerpts for non-commercial purposes with attribution. You may not reproduce, republish, sell, or distribute our content or designs (including merch designs) without prior written permission.

• Impersonate us, misrepresent your affiliation, or engage in fraudulent activity.

8. Third-Party Links

The Site contains links to third-party websites and services (including Etsy, Gumroad, TikTok, YouTube, and others). We do not control and are not responsible for those sites' content, policies, or practices. Your use of third-party services is at your own risk and subject to their terms.

9. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

• The Site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Yardage Book and its owners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or related to your use of the Site, content, or purchases.
• Our total aggregate liability for any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Yardage Book, its owners, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your use of the Site, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

11. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Ohio, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Where applicable law permits, disputes will be resolved individually, without class actions.
