1. Overview

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Eagles18 mobile application ("App").

By accessing or using the App, you agree to these Terms and that the Terms form a binding legal agreement between you—whether acting individually or on behalf of an entity—and the App, governing all aspects of your use of the App. If you do not agree with all of the legal terms, then you are prohibited from using the App and you must discontinue use immediately.

The Eagles18 App is designed for personal use by individual golfers in the European Union (EU). It provides tools for score tracking, handicap calculations, and performance analytics via iOS and Apple Watch devices.

Additional rules, guidelines, or documents that Eagles 18 may publish in connection with the App are automatically part of these Legal Terms and apply to your use of the App.

Eagles 18 may change these Legal Terms at any time, including to reflect updates to the Services, legal requirements, or internal policies, and may do so without prior notice to you. By continuing to access or use the Services after an updated version is made available, you confirm that you accept and agree to be bound by the then-current Legal Terms. Eagles 18 may indicate revisions by updating the "Last updated" date or by using any other reasonable method of publication, and is not obligated to send you individual notifications about each change. You are solely responsible for reviewing the Legal Terms on a regular basis so that you remain aware of the terms that govern your use of the App.

If you continue to use the App after changes take effect, your use will be treated as your consent to, and acceptance of, all amended terms; if you do not agree with any update, you must immediately stop using the App. For your convenience, you should keep a saved or printed copy of the current version of these Legal Terms for your records.

2. Operator Information

Email: p.k.schmidbauer@gmail.com

Jurisdiction: Stade, Niedersachsen, Germany

The App is currently available for use only within Germany. The App must not be distributed or made available in any country where doing so would violate local laws or regulations, or would require Eagles 18 to satisfy registration, licensing, or similar regulatory obligations. If individuals choose to access or use the App from outside Germany, they do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for determining and complying with all laws that apply in their location.

3. Eligibility and Accounts

The App is available to users of all ages, including those under 13, for personal use. For users under 16 years old, processing of personal data relies on parental consent or authorization as required by Article 8 GDPR and German law (digital consent age: 16).

If you are under 16, you represent that you have obtained verifiable parental or guardian consent for account creation and data processing. We make reasonable efforts to verify parental responsibility where required.

Authentication occurs via your Google account. By linking your account, you permit us to collect and store relevant authentication information, profile data, and scores in Firebase (Google Cloud, Germany). All account information is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including enhanced protections for children's data.

4. Intellectual Property Rights

All content, design elements, code, data, and trademarks within Eagles18 are owned or licensed by Eagles18. You receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the App for personal, non-commercial purposes only. Our content is protected by copyright and trademark laws. Any breach of these Intellectual Property rights will lead to a termination of your account.

You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, transmit, display, or create derivative works based on any part of the App unless explicitly authorized by Eagles18.

By submitting feedback, questions, comments, ideas, or other content to us, you agree to transfer all intellectual property rights in such submissions to Eagles18. We may use, reproduce, or distribute these submissions freely, without any obligation to acknowledge or compensate you.

5. User Representations

By using the App, you represent and warrant that:

We can terminate your account immediately if any provided information is untrue.

6. User‑Generated Contributions

Users may post short summary texts after rounds that can be viewed by followers. By submitting such content ("User Contributions"), you grant Eagles18 a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and store your content for operation of the App.

You remain solely responsible for your contributions and agree that they will not be unlawful, defamatory, or infringe third-party rights. You also confirm that you have read and agreed to the prohibited activities.

7. Prohibited Activities

Users may not:

Violation of these prohibitions may result in immediate account suspension or termination without refund.

8. Right of Withdrawal

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us (P.K. Schmidbauer, p.k.schmidbauer@gmail.com) of your decision to withdraw from this contract by an unequivocal statement (e.g., a letter sent via email). You may use the attached model withdrawal form, but it is not obligatory.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal: If you withdraw from this contract, we shall reimburse to you all payments received from you without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract. We will carry out such reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

For digital services (such as app subscriptions), your right of withdrawal expires prematurely if we have provided digital content or digital services that are not supplied on a tangible medium and you have expressly consented to our beginning of performance during the withdrawal period and have confirmed that you understand that you thereby lose your right of withdrawal upon commencement of performance. If applicable, you may be required to pay an amount that is in proportion to what has been provided until you have communicated your withdrawal from this contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.

9. Warranty and Conformity

The App conforms to the contract as per §§ 327 ff. BGB: it is suitable for ordinary use, provided in the latest version at the time of purchase, properly integrated, and will receive necessary updates (including security updates) for the duration of its provision.

Within 1 year from the start of provision, any defect is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery (reversal of burden of proof). You are entitled to remedies: repair or update, replacement, price reduction, or termination (including for minor defects if personal data is involved), as well as damages. Claims exist for 2 years from the start of provision. For conformity defects under § 327g BGB (e.g., lack of updates), additional rights apply. Personal data processing complies with GDPR; see our Privacy Policy.

10. Purchases and Payments

Eagles18 offers digital subscription products for personal, non-commercial use:

Payment Processing: All payments are securely processed via the Apple App Store using your Apple ID.

Billing: Subscriptions automatically renew (monthly or yearly). The yearly plan includes a 14-day free trial, after which your account will be charged unless you cancel before the trial ends.

Cancellation: You may cancel subscriptions solely via your App Store account settings. No cancellations can be processed within the App or by contacting customer support.

Currency: All prices are listed in euros (€).

Refunds: Purchases are non-returnable and non-refundable except as required by applicable EU consumer law.

11. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We may modify or discontinue parts of the App at any time to improve quality or maintain compliance. Users will not be specifically notified about updates to the Terms. Updated Terms will be available within the App and become effective upon publication.

12. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate user accounts without notice if terms are violated or if required by law. You may delete your account at any time via App settings or by contacting us.

Upon termination, rights granted to you under these Terms immediately cease.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

Eagles18 shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.

Our total liability for any claim arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total amount paid by you during the six (6) months preceding the event giving rise to liability.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for intent, gross negligence, or statutory rights under German consumer law.

14. Data Storage and User Data

Your data (e.g., account, scores, preferences) is stored on secure servers within Germany, powered by Google Cloud and Firebase. Data processing complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). See our Privacy Policy for full details.

We do not send messages or SMS notifications.

15. DMCA Copyright Notice

If you believe that any user-generated content infringes your copyright, please send a written notification including all information required under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to: p.k.schmidbauer@gmail.com

Upon valid notice, we will act promptly to remove or disable access to infringing material.

16. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, with exclusive jurisdiction in Stade, Lower Saxony.

Any dispute shall first be resolved through informal negotiation. If unresolved, parties will attempt mediation for at least 30 days. If mediation fails, disputes will be finally settled by binding arbitration in Stade, in the German language.

17. Severability

If any clause of these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain fully effective.
