Birdio

1. About these terms

These terms apply when you use Birdio, the golf scoring and society management app at birdiogolf.co.uk and in our Android app. By creating an account or using Birdio, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use Birdio. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information.

2. Your account

• You must be at least 16 to create an account.
• Give accurate details, keep your password and any connected Google or Microsoft account secure, and tell us if you think someone else has accessed your account. You're responsible for activity under your account.
• You can sign in with a username and password, or with Google or Microsoft. Your use of those services is also covered by their own terms.
• You can delete your account at any time (see Data Deletion).

3. Using Birdio fairly

Please don't:

• enter deliberately false scores to manipulate handicaps, competitions or results;
• harass, abuse or impersonate other people, or post unlawful or offensive content;
• try to access accounts, societies or data that aren't yours, or interfere with how Birdio works (for example by overloading, scraping or probing it);
• use Birdio for anything unlawful.

We may remove content or suspend or close accounts that break these rules.

4. Your content

You own what you put into Birdio — your scores, photos, messages and other content. You give us permission to store, process and display it as needed to run Birdio for you and the people you share it with (for example, your society, tournament players, or anyone you send a shared round link to). You're responsible for having the right to upload anything you add, such as photos.

5. Societies, organisers and payments

• Societies and golf days are run by their organisers, not by Birdio. Organisers are responsible for how they run their society, the fees they set, and the information they ask members for.
• Birdio does not process payments. Where the app shows fees, payment status or bank details, these are entered by organisers; any payment is made directly between members and the society. Please check payment details with your organiser before paying.

6. Handicaps and scores

Handicap indexes, course handicaps and Stableford points shown in Birdio are calculated from the data entered using standard formulas, for convenience only. They are unofficial and are not a substitute for a handicap issued by a recognised golf authority (such as England Golf or your national body). Competition results in Birdio are only as accurate as the scores entered.

7. Shared links

When you share a round or results, anyone with the link can view what you shared until you stop sharing. Please think about who you send links to.

8. Availability and changes

We work to keep Birdio running smoothly, but it's provided "as is" and we can't promise it will always be available or error-free. We may change, add or remove features, and we may update these terms — if the changes are significant we'll update the date above and, where appropriate, tell you in the app. Continuing to use Birdio after changes means you accept the updated terms.

9. Our responsibility to you

Birdio is provided for personal, non-commercial use. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or unforeseeable losses, or for losses caused by incorrect data entered by users, by society organisers' decisions, or by events outside our reasonable control. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't legally be limited, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

10. Ending your use

You can stop using Birdio and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms, and we'll usually tell you why.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. If you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, you can also bring proceedings in your local courts.
