If you submit content (e.g., profile info, messages, testimonials), you grant Black Tee Golf a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, host, reproduce, modify, and display it to operate and promote the Services. You represent you have all necessary rights to grant this license.

12) Privacy

We collect, use, and disclose personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable Ontario requirements.

13) Disclaimers

As-is. The Services are provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Black Tee Golf disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Black Tee Golf does not warrant specific business results, deal outcomes, or event availability.

14) Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Black Tee Golf and its directors, officers, employees, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Black Tee Golf’s total liability for any claim relating to the Services is limited to the amount you paid to Black Tee Golf for the 3 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in those cases, the limitation applies to the maximum extent permitted.

15) Indemnity

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Black Tee Golf from and against claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms or law, or your content or conduct at events.

16) Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access (and/or membership) for violations of these Terms or where required by law or safety concerns. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive (e.g., IP, disclaimers, limitations, indemnity, governing law).

17) Changes to the Services & Terms

We may modify the Services and these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be posted on the website and, where required, we will provide notice. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

18) Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located in Toronto, Ontario for any dispute that is not resolved informally. Before filing suit, the parties will first attempt good-faith negotiation for 30 days.

19) Severability & Waiver • 20) Assignment • 21) Entire Agreement

If any provision is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. These Terms, together with any membership or event-specific terms and our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Black Tee Golf regarding the Services.
