Terms of Use
The agreement, plainly.
Last updated: April 17, 2026
1. Who we are
“PRESS,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the independent developer of the PRESS iOS app and this website. “You” means the person using the app or site. “The app” means PRESS for iOS and its associated Apple Watch companion.
2. Your license
When you purchase PRESS on the App Store, Apple grants you a personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive license to install and use the app on any device you own or control that runs iOS or watchOS. That license is governed by the Apple Standard EULA and these Terms, which supplement it. If the two conflict, these Terms control for PRESS-specific provisions.
You may not reverse-engineer, decompile, rent, sell, sublicense, or redistribute the app. You may write about it, screenshot it, and tell your entire buddies' trip to download it. We encourage that.
3. Pricing and purchases
PRESS is sold as a one-time purchase through the Apple App Store. The price is displayed on the store listing at the time of purchase and may change for future buyers; you will not be charged again for a price increase. There is no subscription. There are no in-app purchases or unlockable features.
Refunds are handled by Apple under their standard refund policy. We do not process refunds directly.
4. Acceptable use
The app is a scorekeeping tool. You agree not to:
- Use it to facilitate illegal gambling where prohibited by local law.
- Use it to harass, defame, or impersonate someone by entering their name without permission in a shared context.
- Attempt to compromise the app, its data, or other users' devices.
Side bets between friends are a longstanding golf tradition and the app is designed for that. You are solely responsible for complying with the laws of your jurisdiction around wagering.
5. No gambling platform
PRESS does not facilitate wagers, hold funds, act as a bookmaker, settle bets on your behalf, or transmit money. It calculates the math you and your friends have already agreed to. Any exchange of money happens between you and your playing partners and has nothing to do with us.
6. Content you create
Player names, course setups, scores, and notes you enter belong to you. They are stored locally on your device. We claim no license or ownership over them and cannot access them.
7. Third-party services
The app runs on Apple platforms and uses Apple-provided frameworks (Vision, VisionKit, ActivityKit, WatchConnectivity) to deliver certain features. Use of those frameworks is subject to Apple's terms. The landing page is hosted on Vercel and email signups, if you submit one, are processed by our email provider (currently Buttondown). Their terms apply to the slice of service they perform.
8. Support and updates
We will do our best to fix bugs and ship quality-of-life updates in response to feedback. We do not guarantee a particular update cadence, feature, or compatibility with future iOS versions forever. If you need help, email hello@presscaddy.com.
9. Warranty disclaimer
The app is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not guarantee the app is error-free or that scoring calculations are correct in every possible edge case. Always double-check the settlement screen before paying out.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to the app or this site is limited to the amount you paid for the app (i.e., a few dollars). We are not liable for lost bets, lost winnings, lost data, emotional damages sustained on the 17th tee, or any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages.
11. Termination
You can stop using the app at any time by deleting it. We may terminate these Terms if you materially violate them — for example, by attempting to reverse-engineer the app or using it in a way that violates applicable law. Termination does not entitle you to a refund.
12. Changes
We may update these Terms to reflect changes to the app or law. The “last updated” date above will change when we do. Your continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state where the developer resides, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not resolved informally will be heard in the courts of that state, except where local consumer-protection law requires otherwise.
