Premium subscriptions are available on a monthly basis ($2.99/month) or annual basis ($19.99/year). All billing is processed by Apple through the App Store. RIVL never receives or stores your payment card details.
Subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the renewal date. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time through your Apple ID account settings or the App Store. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you retain access to premium features until that date.
If your subscription lapses or is cancelled, your premium features will become inaccessible but your data will not be deleted. You can resubscribe at any time to regain access.
Refunds are handled by Apple in accordance with their App Store refund policy. RIVL does not process refunds directly.
RIVL Golf Match calculates handicap differentials and match results based on the round data you submit. By submitting round data you represent that:
Differentials and scores calculated by the App are for competitive purposes within the App only and do not constitute an official USGA Handicap Index.
RIVL Golf Match is not affiliated with or endorsed by the USGA, Golf Canada, R&A, or any official handicap authority. We are not responsible for errors in scoring calculations resulting from inaccurate data submitted by users.
You retain ownership of content you submit to the App including your profile information, profile photo, and round data. By submitting content, you grant RIVL a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, store, display, and distribute that content solely for the purpose of operating and improving the App.
You are solely responsible for the content you submit. You agree not to submit content that is false, defamatory, obscene, offensive, or that infringes the intellectual property rights of any third party.
The App, including its design, code, branding, logos, and all content created by RIVL, is owned by RIVL Labs Ltd. and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not grant you any ownership rights in the App.
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease any part of the App or its content without our prior written permission.
Your use of the App is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the App, you consent to the collection and use of your information as described in the Privacy Policy.
You may delete your account at any time through the App settings. Upon permanent deletion, your personal data and Firebase Authentication record will be removed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if we believe you have violated these Terms, engaged in fraudulent activity, or acted in a way that harms other users or the integrity of the App. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of termination except where prohibited by law or where immediate action is necessary.
THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OF ANY SCORING CALCULATIONS, HANDICAP DIFFERENTIALS, OR MATCH RESULTS GENERATED BY THE APP.
For users in Australia, nothing in these Terms limits any rights you may have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot be lawfully excluded.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RIVL GOLF MATCH SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE APP.
IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in British Columbia for resolution of any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the App.
If you are a consumer in the European Union or European Economic Area, you also benefit from the mandatory consumer protection provisions of the law of your country of residence, and you may bring proceedings in the courts of that country. Nothing in these Terms affects your rights as a consumer to rely on such mandatory provisions.
EU/EEA consumers have a 14-day right of withdrawal from digital service contracts under the EU Consumer Rights Directive. By accessing the App's paid features, you acknowledge that delivery of the digital service begins immediately upon purchase and you expressly request immediate access. You therefore waive the 14-day withdrawal right to the extent permitted under applicable law. This does not affect your rights under Apple's App Store refund policy.
For users in the United States, if any dispute cannot be resolved informally, both parties agree to attempt mediation before initiating litigation.
If you downloaded the App from the Apple App Store, the following additional terms apply:
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and RIVL Labs Ltd. regarding your use of the App and supersede all prior agreements.
