Terms of use

Skullaroo keeps score for a golf group and works out who owes whom. It does not hold, move, or handle money. These are the terms you agree to by using it.

1. Who can use it

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, whichever is higher. You need an invitation from a group, or you can start your own. You are responsible for the mobile number on your account and for anything done through it.

2. Skullaroo is not a betting operator

This matters, so it is first among the things worth being clear about.

• Skullaroo records the bets a group agrees among themselves — skins, greenies, chippies, a nassau, a stableford — and calculates the result.
• Skullaroo never handles the stakes. There is no wallet, no deposit, no payout, no card processing, and no transfer of funds of any kind. Amounts shown in the app are a tally, not a balance. Golfers settle with each other, in person, exactly as they did before the app existed.
• We take no cut, no rake, and no fee from any wager.
• Whether a private wager between playing partners is lawful is a question about you and where you are, not about us. You are responsible for making sure your own games are legal where you play. Do not use Skullaroo for anything that is not.

3. Your account

Sign-in is by a code sent to your mobile number. Keep control of that number and of your device. If you lose either, tell us. You may delete your account at any time from the account screen — see deleting your account.

4. Behave yourself

Groups can switch on Heckles, which needles a chosen player, and a manager can write free-text notes for it. That feature exists because golfers give each other a hard time, and it is meant to stay on the right side of funny.

Do not use Skullaroo to harass, threaten, defame, or abuse anyone, and do not enter content that is hateful or targets someone's race, religion, sex, gender, disability, or origin. Do not enter another person's details without their say-so. We may remove content and suspend accounts that break this, and we do not owe a warning first.

5. Scores are your group's, not ours

You and the people you play with enter the scores. We calculate results from what you enter. We do not verify that anyone actually made the putt. Disputes about a score, a wager, or a payout are between the golfers involved — we have no role in settling them and cannot adjudicate them for you.

6. Availability

We try to keep the service up and correct, but we provide it "as is", without warranty of any kind to the extent the law allows. We may change or discontinue features. If we ever shut the service down, we will give reasonable notice so a group can get its history out.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any lost money, wager, or bet arising from your use of Skullaroo. Our total liability to you for any claim will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars.

8. Ending it

You can stop using Skullaroo whenever you like and delete your account from the app. We may suspend or end access if you break these terms or use the service in a way that risks harm to others or to us.

9. Apple

These terms are between you and us, not between you and Apple, and Apple is not responsible for Skullaroo or its content. Your licence to use the app on an Apple device is a non-transferable licence to run it on any Apple-branded device you own or control, as permitted by the App Store Terms of Service. Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance for Skullaroo. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price, if any; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim you or a third party has about the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, or consumer protection claims. Apple is not responsible for investigating or resolving any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights. You confirm you are not in a country subject to a US Government embargo or designated as terrorist-supporting, and that you are not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you.

10. Changes and law

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we will update the date above and tell you in the app before it takes effect. These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and of the state in which Skullaroo LLC is organised, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.
