Participation in Challenges on the App – UPDATE FOR 3rd Party GIFT CERTS

The Company provides challenges to its users, some which require submission of one “Mulligan” to activate/participate in and others which do not require a “Mulligan” to activate. A “Nut” is reward point system and can be in various ways on the App or website. All challenges by Company have specific criteria determined solely by Company and are subject to limitations to which Company deems fit. Challenges, limits, and “Nut” offerings are subject to change at any time, solely at the discretion of Company. In order to win a challenge on the App, a user must submit a video, which is filmed through the App, which must clearly show the user participating in the specifics of the challenge and following all rules of the challenge. If a user submits a video or uses a “Mulligan” to participate in a challenge, the user has no option to dispute the outcome of the challenge. Thus, as soon as the user chooses to participate in a challenge by providing a “Mulligan”, this “Mulligan” will not be returned under any circumstances, and similarly, as soon as a user submits a video to participate in a challenge, the video may be posted and shall become the property of the Company. A user may not dispute the outcomes of any challenges by Company. Rather, by participating in a challenge, you agree to accept the decision of Company and you understand the criteria is not whether or not a challenge has been completed successfully, but whether the Company determines that the video submitted is clear proof establishing the challenge was a success. This means that a user may submit a video within a challenge, and the Company can reject the video even though the user may have succeeded in the challenge merely because the video fell short of 100% clear proof. For example, a user submits a video within a challenge where the user makes a hole-in-one, but the video does not show the ball going into the cup. Company will reject that video, as the video is incomplete in that it does not contain 100% proof of success. The Company has sole discretion to develop challenges and the rules within challenges, including time constraints and distance minimums. It is entirely up to Company to determine if those limits were met in order for a user to succeed in a challenge. Users of the App may have another person film them attempting a challenge. Users of the App may film another person attempting a challenge. Different users of the App may film the same event. If a user completes a challenge successfully, Company will load the respective “Nuts” earned onto all devices of the users who submitted the successful video.

Age Requirement

If you are under 18, you may use the App only with express permission of a parent or guardian.  Users must be 13 years or older to attempt a challenge within the App.

Content

The App allows you to post content, including text, images, videos, or other information that can be posted, uploaded, linked to or otherwise made available by you, regardless of the form of that content. All photographs and videos that you submit on the App must be filmed or taken using the App. You are responsible for the content that you post to the App, including its legality, reliability, and appropriateness. All videos filmed with the App are the sole property of the Company to be used, publicly displayed, reproduced, and distributed by the Company in any way the Company chooses.

We are not responsible for the content of the users of the App or Website. You expressly understand and agree that you are solely responsible for the content and for all activity that occurs under your account, whether done so by you or any third person using your account. Further, you represent and warrant that the posting of your content on or through the App does not violate the privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other rights of any person. You may not transmit any content on the App or Website that is unlawful, offensive, upsetting, intended to disgust, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable.

The Company further reserves the right to make formatting and edits and change the manner of any content. The Company can also limit or revoke the use of the App and/or Website if you post objectionable content.
