Terms, an earlier version
Version served from 22:43 UTC on 2026-11-04 to 11:15 UTC on 2026-11-05
These terms took effect on the day this site opened and this version is dated 2026-11-03.
Who these terms are with
These terms are an agreement between you and Goodspeed LLC (formerly Scribely LLC), a Florida limited liability company, which runs this site and the app as GoodSpeed Golf. Using either means you accept them.
Who can use it
You must be 13 or older to use GoodSpeed Golf, as a guest or with an account. A host can put a younger player's name on the scorecard without that player using the app.
What it does
GoodSpeed Golf keeps score. Players are responsible for following the laws and course rules where they play. GoodSpeed Golf never holds or moves money between players. Side games are free.
Handicaps
A handicap number you type in is shown with the system you name and the date you entered it. We never recalculate it and we do not claim it is official. A round's strokes today are worked out from the numbers players enter, and any event or club decides for itself whether to accept them.
After three rounds that count for it, you get a GoodSpeed handicap: our own number, worked out by GoodSpeed Golf from your rounds in the app and revised every night. A crew handicap is the same number from one crew's rounds only. Neither is an official handicap; both stay private unless you share them, and each event or club decides for itself whether to accept them.
What you post
Messages, scores and anything else you add stay yours. You let us show them inside the product to the people in your round or crew, and on pages you choose to share, and for nothing else. We do not use your messages, photos or name in marketing without asking you; where marketing shows a real round, every name and the course are changed so no one can be identified.
If you upload a logo you confirm you may use it and let us show it on the event's pages, prints and boards. A heckle is a message aimed at a player by name, and the same rules apply to it as to any message.
A host may publish a round's recap, showing each player's display name and scores; any player can hide themselves from recaps in Settings, under Privacy.
You can report a message, and the host of a round can remove one. Reports go to our moderation queue, which we read. We may remove or hide a message or a name, suspend an account for a time, or close an account that breaks these terms. We are not obliged to check what anyone posts before it appears. To appeal, write to us at the contact page or to support@goodspeed.app.
Do not post anything unlawful, threatening or abusive, anything that is someone else's private information, or anything you have no right to share.
Acceptable use
You may not read or copy the service with automated tools, create accounts for anyone but yourself, enter a round or a league you were not invited to by guessing its code, or pretend to be someone else.
Accounts
Keep your sign-in to yourself. You can sign out of every device in Settings, under Account, and ask for your account to be deleted in Settings, under Privacy.
Prizes and events
Prizes in any event are the organizer's responsibility, not ours. We do not give advice on amateur status.
Credits, plans and refunds
A casual round is free. A trip or an outing costs one credit per player per round, paid by the host, and only for players with a score recorded. A league costs one credit per player per round, paid by the host, and only for players with a score recorded. A host's first event is free: a first trip or outing for every round played within 14 days of its first round, and a first league for its first scheduled round, while the host has run no trip, outing or league before; casual rounds do not count.
If the host has no credits when a player's round is charged, the round plays as normal, and the recap and the reports of that trip, outing or league wait until the host covers it. A round charged while the host has no credits stays owed while the host's account exists, unless a club's plan covers it. What is owed is taken from the host's next credits, whether bought, granted or earned through a referral, oldest round first, and a pack from which a credit was spent this way can no longer be refunded.
Pro is a player's own card, course cards, stats and history. Your first 3 Pro rounds are free; after that a Pro round costs you one credit, unless you have Pro monthly or Pro yearly.
Pro is sold as a subscription, Pro monthly or Pro yearly, one at a time. Pro monthly is billed each month and Pro yearly each year, at the price shown when you subscribe plus any tax, and either continues until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your billing page, in one step: cancelling takes effect at once, and we refund the unused part of the period you paid for. You can switch between monthly and yearly from your billing page; the switch starts when your current period ends, and nothing is charged until then. We email you a confirmation when you subscribe or switch, reminders before each yearly payment, a reminder once a year on a monthly plan, and a notice at least 30 days before any price change. A higher price applies only if you accept it on your billing page; otherwise your subscription ends at the end of the period you paid for. A Pro pass bought on the web before subscriptions began runs for a year from the day it started and does not renew. Pro bought in an app store is cancelled and refunded through that store, under its rules; see Purchases in the app stores.
The Yearly pass covers every trip and league of one crew for a year from purchase, or from the end of the last pass you hold for that crew. A pass bought on the web can be cancelled any time on your billing page; cancelling takes effect at once and we refund the unused part. A pass bought in the App Store or Google Play doesn't renew and is refunded by that store, under its rules. Club plans are sold by written agreement with the club, which states their term and price.
Credits never expire. Unused credits can be refunded for 30 days after purchase, while every credit in the pack is still unused. Credits cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash.
Credits and Pro bought in an app store are sold by that store, which takes payment and handles refunds under its own terms. Pro bought in a store renews until you cancel it in the store's subscription settings.
Refunds of credit bundles bought on the web are requested from your billing page. Store purchases are refunded by the store. When you cancel Pro or a Yearly pass bought on the web, the unused part is refunded automatically. Questions about a refund: write to support@goodspeed.app.
Referrals
When a friend hosts their first paid event round (a trip, an outing or a league round) through your link, you receive 5 credits. We may withhold credits earned through accounts that break these terms.
Trips and reports
A trip keeps several rounds together with running standings. Its host can switch on reports: pages, cards, images and emails built from the trip's scores and chat. Quotes from the chat appear only to the trip's members. You can hide yourself from recaps and reports in Settings, under Privacy. An outing's organizer and co-hosts see its sign-ups.
We email you sign-in codes; receipts and refund notices for what you buy; for Pro, a confirmation when you subscribe or switch, reminders before each yearly payment and once a year on a monthly plan, and notice of any price change; for a Yearly pass, a notice before it ends; a confirmation when you register for an outing and your group and start time before it; league reminders if you are on a league's roster, and alerts about a league you host or help run; a confirmation when a host adds your address to a trip's reports, and the reports if you confirm; a notice at least 30 days before a change to these terms, and before a change to the privacy page that matters; a reply if you write to us; one invitation if you joined the waitlist; and a note if you haven't played a round in a month, if Reminders to play is on. Every report and league email, and every Reminders to play note, carries an unsubscribe link, and the waitlist invitation says how to be taken off the list by email. We never sell your address, and we share it only with the companies that run the service for us, as the privacy page lists.
The service
The beta is offered as it is. We work to keep every score safe, and we may change or stop parts of the service. If we close the service we refund unused credits and the unused part of any Pro subscription, Pro pass or Yearly pass: web purchases from us, store purchases through the store where it lets us refund, and otherwise the unused part paid to you directly. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that come from using it.
The hole view includes Google Maps features and content. Your use of them is subject to the Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
Changes
We may change these terms. A change never alters the price or the length of a period you've already paid for. At least 30 days before a change takes effect, we email every account the clause as it was, the clause as it will read, the date it applies, and your rights. If a change adds to what you owe or takes away from what we provide, you can refuse it: cancel at no cost up to 30 days after it takes effect, and we refund the unused part of any period you've paid for. Otherwise, using the service after that date means you accept it.
