Terms of Service

Effective date: November 5, 2026

1. The agreement

Battle Tees is made by Vexcom LLC, a California limited liability company in Vacaville, California ("Vexcom," "we," "us"). Battle Tees is a business name of Vexcom LLC.

These terms cover:

• the Battle Tees website at battletees.app;
• the web app;
• the Battle Tees apps for iPhone, Apple Watch and Android;
• the servers that sync rounds between phones.

Together we call all of that "Battle Tees."

By creating a profile or using Battle Tees, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Battle Tees.

2. Who can use Battle Tees

You must be at least 18 years old to use Battle Tees. It is built for adult golf groups, and its side games track money between players.

You may not use Battle Tees if:

• the law where you live forbids it; or
• we have previously removed you from it.

3. Your profile and sign-in

• Your profile. It is your name, an optional photo and an optional email address. Use your own name or a nickname your group will recognize. Don't pretend to be someone else.
• One person per profile. A profile belongs to the person it names. Don't use someone else's.
• Sign-in. If you add an email address, we send sign-in links and codes to it. Keep that email account secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you. Tell us at hello@battletees.app if you think someone has.
• Your player key. Your phone keeps a private key that proves your profile is yours. To use your profile on a new phone, confirm it's you with a code sent to your confirmed email. Once your email is confirmed, it can only be changed with a code sent to it.
• Your handicap index. It belongs to your profile. Other players in a round can't change it.

4. What Battle Tees does — and doesn't

Battle Tees helps golf groups:

• keep score;
• run side games;
• see yardages;
• follow rounds.

We keep improving it, which means features will change. We may add, change or remove features, including features marked as being in testing, at any time.

We work hard to keep Battle Tees running. But it depends on:

• phones and networks;
• GPS;
• app stores;
• services run by other companies.

We can't promise it will always be available, error-free, or that every score will sync. Battle Tees is built to keep working without signal and to catch up when the phones reconnect. Still, finish your round with a backup plan you'd be comfortable with.

5. Side games and money

Battle Tees runs golf side games such as wolf, skins, Nassau and Vegas. When your group gives the games a dollar value, it shows who is ahead and how the group would settle up.

Battle Tees only does the math. In particular:

• Vexcom never takes, holds, transfers or pays out money. There are no deposits, wallets, entry fees, pools, prizes or payment links in Battle Tees.
• Vexcom is not a party to any game or bet between players. We don't set stakes, take a share, guarantee payment or collect from anyone.
• The numbers are a scorekeeping record, not a debt. Settle Up totals come from the scores, settings and dollar values your group entered. Nothing in Battle Tees creates an obligation for anyone to pay anyone.
• The law is your responsibility. Laws on playing golf for money differ from place to place. You are responsible for following the law where you play. Don't use Battle Tees to organize, record or settle anything that is illegal where you are, including bookmaking or games run for profit.
• Disputes are between players. If your group disagrees about a score, a rule or a payout, sort it out with each other. Battle Tees, Vexcom and our rules pages are not a referee.

6. Scores and rounds

• Each player enters and confirms their own scores. The scores your group confirms are the record of the round.
• After a hole closes, it can still be fixed with Edit this hole. Fix mistakes before your group settles up.
• Scores, game results, statistics and handicap calculations come from what players enter. If an entry is wrong, the result is wrong. We are not responsible for mistakes in what players enter or for the decisions your group makes based on them.

You release Vexcom from claims about disputes between players. If you have a dispute with another player, you release Vexcom from any claim connected to it. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542 for those disputes. That section says: "A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party."

7. Yardages, course maps, conditions and safety

Yardages and maps are estimates. They come from:

• your phone's GPS;
• maps built from OpenStreetMap and other course data;
• satellite imagery from Esri;
• scorecard data from third parties;
• marks made by players.

Any of these can be wrong or out of date: GPS drifts, greens move, courses are redesigned. "Plays-like" numbers for wind, temperature and elevation are estimates too. They use forecast data from the U.S. National Weather Service and elevation data from the U.S. Geological Survey.

When it matters, check the course's own markers, the pin and your own judgment.

Be safe on the course.

• Don't use Battle Tees while driving a cart.
• Look up from your phone before anyone swings, and watch for other golfers, balls, carts and hazards.
• Follow the course's rules and its staff.
• Golf involves risks, including being hit by a ball or club, falls, heat and lightning. You accept those risks when you play.
• Battle Tees is not a safety tool, and nothing in it tells you a shot or path is safe.

Location. Battle Tees uses your phone's location only while you're using the app or playing a round. On Android, a notification stays on screen during a round so yardages keep working with the screen off. See the Privacy Policy for details.

8. Handicaps

Battle Tees keeps its own handicap index from the rounds you play in it, to make your group's games fair. It is not an official handicap, and Vexcom is not affiliated with the USGA or the R&A. Don't use it where an official handicap is required.

9. Course contributions

Battle Tees lets players fix course data, for example by marking a tee or a green on a hole we haven't mapped. These are "contributions."

When you make a contribution, you give Vexcom a permanent, worldwide, royalty-free right to use, change and share it. That includes publishing course data openly, for example to OpenStreetMap or under the Open Database License. You confirm that you marked it yourself and didn't copy it from a source that doesn't allow it, such as Google Maps.

10. Rounds, the Battlefield and what others see

• Your group. Players in a shared round see each other's names, photos, scores, stats and tracked shots for that round.
• The Community Battlefield. When you announce a round, your Battle friends (people you've played a shared round with) can watch it hole by hole. They see:
  • names, photos and scores;
  • each player's position on the course during that round.

    Anyone who has a round's code can also follow that round.

• People on Battle Tees right now. While your app is open, other Battle Tees users can see your name and whether you're nearby. Players who are nearby also see your handicap index and tee. Your location itself isn't shown to them.
• Players nearby. In the first minutes of a round, Battle Tees users close by may be offered to join your group.
• Comments and reactions. Spectators and players can react and comment on Battlefield rounds. They may also be emailed about them, as described in Settings.

11. Your content

"Your content" means everything you put into Battle Tees:

• your name and photo;
• scores and stats;
• comments and reactions;
• tracked shots and course contributions.

You own your content. You give Vexcom a worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, display and send your content, only as needed to:

1. run Battle Tees, including showing your content to the people you play with and the spectators described in section 10;
2. back it up and restore it for you;
3. keep Battle Tees safe and fix problems; and
4. improve Battle Tees.

We won't use your name or photo in advertising without asking you first. This license ends when your content is deleted. The exceptions:

• copies already shared with other players stay on their devices (see section 16);
• course contributions follow section 9.

You confirm that you have the right to post your content. For example, don't post photos of other people who haven't agreed to it.

Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely.

12. Community rules

When you use Battle Tees, don't:

• harass, threaten, bully or demean anyone, or post hateful, sexual, violent or illegal content;
• pretend to be someone else, or post someone's private information;
• post spam, ads or links to gambling sites;
• use Battle Tees for illegal gambling or any illegal purpose;
• interfere with other players' rounds, scores or accounts;
• copy, scrape or bulk-download course data, maps or other content from Battle Tees, or use it to build a competing product;
• reverse engineer the apps or our servers, get around their protections, or overload them. This doesn't limit any rights you have under an open-source or open-data license.

Report and block. Tap ⋯ beside a player's name to report their name or photo, or to block them. Tap ⋯ on a comment to report it. Blocking hides the two of you from each other, as described in the Privacy Policy. You can also email hello@battletees.app. Player names are checked against a word filter, and a name that fails is refused or shown as "Player". We review reports and may:

• remove content;
• limit features; or
• suspend or remove profiles that break these rules.

We don't watch every round, and we aren't responsible for what other users post. But we act on what's reported to us.

Under-18 removal. If you're a California resident under 18, you can remove content you posted, or ask us to, at hello@battletees.app. (Battle Tees is for adults; this is California law.)

13. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on Battle Tees infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent. Include:

• your contact details;
• the work;
• where the content is in Battle Tees;
• a good-faith statement; and
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized.

Our designated agent: Copyright Agent, Vexcom LLC, 475 Edwin Dr, Vacaville, CA 95687-5243 · hello@vexcomllc.com · (707) 689-6619. (U.S. Copyright Office registration DMCA-1085282.)

We may remove repeat infringers.

14. Our property, and data from others

Battle Tees, its software, design, art, game rules pages and the names Battle Tees and Vexcom belong to Vexcom or our licensors. Battle Tees™ is a trademark of Vexcom LLC. These terms give you a personal, non-transferable right to use Battle Tees for your own golf. They don't give you any other rights in our property.

Some data in Battle Tees belongs to others and is used under their licenses:

• course data © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL);
• scorecard data from OpenGolfAPI (ODbL) and GolfCourseAPI;
• imagery from Esri and its providers;
• weather from the U.S. National Weather Service;
• elevation from the U.S. Geological Survey.

Battle Tees also includes open-source software, which is used under its own licenses.

Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under those licenses.

15. Paid features (when offered)

Battle Tees is free today. If we offer paid features, these terms apply to them.

Subscriptions.

• Paid subscriptions are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play, and billed by Apple or Google under their terms.
• Before you buy, the app shows the price, the billing period and what the subscription includes.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, until you cancel.
• You can cancel any time in your Apple ID or Google Play settings. The app links there.
• Cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge.
• When you cancel, you keep paid features until the end of the period you paid for.

Price changes. We'll tell you before a price increase applies to your subscription. The store may also ask you to agree to it. You can cancel before it takes effect.

Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. We don't give partial refunds for unused time, except where the law requires it.

Your group's round. A subscription can unlock paid features for everyone playing in a round you start or join, for that round only. The other players get those features for that round; they don't get a subscription of their own. Spectators don't get paid features.

Renewal reminders. For yearly plans, we'll send a reminder before each renewal, as California law requires.

16. Ending your use

You can stop any time. To delete your profile and everything tied to it on our servers, use Settings › Delete account in the app, or follow the steps at battletees.app/delete. If your email is confirmed, we email you a code first. Deleting:

• removes you from rounds on the Community Battlefield; and
• erases your cloud backup.

Copies of shared rounds that other players already have on their own phones aren't affected. A deleted profile can't be used again for 30 days.

We can suspend or end your use. We may do this if:

• you break these terms;
• the law requires it; or
• continuing would harm other users or Vexcom.

We'll tell you why when we reasonably can. We may also stop offering Battle Tees altogether. If we do, we'll give reasonable notice and a way to keep your data where possible.

Sections 5–9, 11 (license already used), 14 and 17–22 continue after these terms end.

17. Disclaimers

Battle Tees is provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent the law allows, Vexcom disclaims all warranties, express or implied. That includes warranties of:

• merchantability;
• fitness for a particular purpose;
• accuracy; and
• non-infringement.

We don't promise that yardages, maps, weather, scores, game results, handicaps or settle-up totals are accurate or complete.

Some places don't allow these disclaimers, so some of them may not apply to you.

18. Limits on our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows:

• Vexcom is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages. That includes lost money, lost profits, lost data, or losses from bets or games between players.
• Vexcom's total liability for all claims relating to Battle Tees is limited to the greater of:
  • what you paid us for Battle Tees in the 12 months before the claim; or
  • $50.

These limits don't apply to liability that can't be limited by law, such as for fraud, or for death or personal injury caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

19. Indemnity

If someone brings a claim against Vexcom arising from any of the following, you will cover Vexcom's reasonable losses and costs from that claim:

• your content;
• your games or bets with other players;
• your breaking these terms; or
• your breaking the law.

This doesn't apply to the extent the claim was caused by Vexcom.

20. Resolving disputes

Talk to us first. Most problems can be fixed quickly. Before starting a formal claim, email hello@vexcomllc.com with your name, the problem and what you want. Both sides will try in good faith to resolve it for 60 days.

Courts. If we can't resolve it, disputes go to the state or federal courts in Solano County, California, and you and Vexcom agree to their jurisdiction. Either side may instead bring an individual claim in small-claims court.

21. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is significant, we'll tell you in the app or by email at least 30 days before it takes effect, unless the change is required by law or fixes a safety problem. If you keep using Battle Tees after a change takes effect, you accept it. If you don't, stop using Battle Tees and delete your profile.

22. Everything else

• Governing law. California law governs these terms, apart from its conflict-of-law rules.
• Entire agreement. These terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and Vexcom about Battle Tees.
• Severability. If part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a term right away doesn't waive it.
• Assignment. You can't transfer these terms. We may transfer them with our business.
• Events beyond our control. We aren't responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• California users. Under California Civil Code §1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by phone at (800) 952-5210.

23. App stores

If you got Battle Tees from the Apple App Store or Google Play, these terms are between you and Vexcom only, not Apple or Google. The store's own terms also apply.

For the Apple App Store:

• Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for Battle Tees.
• If the app fails to meet any warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (if any). Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• Vexcom, not Apple, is responsible for:
  • claims about the app, including product liability claims;
  • claims that it fails to meet legal requirements;
  • consumer-protection claims; and
  • claims that the app infringes someone's intellectual property.
• You confirm that you aren't in a country under U.S. embargo, and aren't on a U.S. list of restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them.
