Terms of use
Rangebird is free. Use it responsibly on the course, keep your account yours, and understand that distances and handicaps are estimates.
Using the app
Rangebird ("the app") is provided by its developer ("we"). By using it you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the app.
The app is free for personal use. You may not resell it, reverse engineer it beyond what the law allows, or use it to build a competing dataset from our course maps other than under the open licenses described in the Data page.
Distances are estimates
GPS distances depend on your device, satellite conditions and the accuracy of the underlying course maps, which come from open data and may be wrong or out of date. Treat every number as an estimate, keep your eyes on the course, and never rely on the app for safety.
Course maps are contributed by volunteers and by us. Report mistakes from any course page; we fix what we can.
Estimated handicap
The estimated handicap shown in the app is calculated from the rounds you enter, using a simplified method. It is not a Handicap Index® and is not issued or endorsed by the USGA, the R&A or any golf association. It cannot be used for competitions that require an official handicap.
Your account and content
- You are responsible for what you post: names, comments and shared rounds. Keep it civil. No harassment, hate, spam, sexual content, impersonation or other people's private information.
- We can remove content and suspend accounts that break these rules, and we act on reports within 24 hours where we can.
- You can report or block any user from their profile.
- You keep ownership of your content. You give us a license to store and show it to the people you share it with, so the app can work.
- You must be 13 or older to create an account.
Games and money
Skins, Nassau and other game settlements are a scorekeeping convenience. The app does not hold, move or guarantee any money. Whether and how you settle a game is between you and the people you play with, under the laws that apply to you.
Warranty and liability
The app is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from reliance on distances, maps, scores or statistics. Our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid for the app, which is zero.
Changes and termination
We may update the app and these terms. Material changes will be announced in the app. You can stop using the app and delete your account at any time.
These terms are governed by the laws of California, USA. Questions: hello@rangebirdgolf.com.
