Terms of Service
Skill Shot Terms of Service
Last Updated: 3/7/2024
Skill Shot, LLC (“we, us, our, ours, etc.”) is the owner and operator of www.skillshotgolf.com
and any affiliated websites, related mobile versions, mobile applications, and all services
provided thereon (“Skill Shot”). We are the owner of all text, images, graphics, photographs,
audio, video, buttons, icons, animations, data, messages, software, content, information, or
materials on Skill Shot (“Materials”).
These Terms of Service constitute a legal contract that establishes the relationship between you,
the user, (“you, your, yours, etc.”) and us as it relates to your access to and use of Skill Shot. By
accessing or using Skill Shot, you accept and agree to our website policies, including these
Terms of Service, and you certify to us that (a) you are eighteen (18) years of age or older, and
are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction, (b) you have the legal capacity to enter into
and agree to these Terms of Service, (c) you are using Skill Shot freely, voluntarily, willingly,
and for your own personal enjoyment, and (d) you will only provide accurate and complete
information to us and promptly update this information as necessary to maintain its accuracy and
completeness.
According to our Contest Rules (“Contest Rules”) and the information listed on Skill
Shot at the time you enter the Contest, we permit users to exchange virtual tokens (“Tokens”) for
the opportunity to participate in real-life hole-in-one golf contests (“Contests”) which award pre-
announced cash prizes (“Prizes”) at designated holes (“Holes”) on specific golf courses
throughout the United States (“Courses”). From time to time, we may permit users in any state to
obtain Tokens for free by engaging in a qualifying activity, and we may permit users that do not
reside in Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana,
South Carolina, South Dakota, or Tennessee (“Excluded States”) to purchase Tokens.
We reserve the right to revise these Terms of Service at any time. You agree that we have this
unilateral right, and that all modifications or changes are in force and enforceable immediately
upon posting. The updated version supersedes any prior versions immediately upon posting, and
the prior version is of no continuing legal effect unless the revised version specifically refers to
the prior version and keeps the prior version or portions thereof in effect. We agree that if we
change anything in these Terms of Service, we will change the “Last Updated” date at the top of
these Terms of Service. You agree to re-visit this page on a frequent basis, and to use the
“Refresh” or “Clear Cache” function on your browser when doing so. You agree to note the date
above. If the “Last Updated” date remains unchanged from the last time you reviewed these
Terms of Service, then you may presume that nothing in these Terms of Service has changed
since the last time you visited. If the “Last Updated” date has changed, then you must review the
updated Terms of Service in their entirety. You must agree to any updated Terms of Service or
immediately cease use of Skill Shot. If you fail to review these Terms of Service as required to
determine if any changes have been made, you assume all responsibility for such omission, and
you agree that such failure amounts to your affirmative waiver of your right to review the
updated terms. We are not responsible for your neglect of your legal rights.
We are not a gambling service, we do not take or place illegal bets, and we do not
recommend or encourage illegal gambling. Instead, we offer entertaining skill-based golf
contests which do not trigger the prohibitions imposed by state and federal gambling laws.
Gambling, whether in-person or online, is not legal in all areas. If you seek information
regarding any illegal activity, you must leave Skill Shot immediately. You agree not to use Skill
Shot if doing so would violate the laws of your state, province, or country. Please consult with
your local authorities or legal advisors before participating in online gaming of any kind. It is
your sole and absolute responsibility to comply with all applicable laws, and you assume all risk
in using Skill Shot. Nothing published on Skill Shot shall be construed as legal advice on any
issue. You assume all risk and responsibility for your access to and use of Skill Shot. We
bear no responsibility for your access to or use of Skill Shot in connection with illegal
gambling activities, and we do not condone illegal gambling. You understand and agree
that Skill Shot is for entertainment purposes only. We make no guarantee that Skill Shot is
legal in your jurisdiction.

information on purchasing Tokens, obtaining free Tokens by engaging in qualifying activities,
using Tokens to enter Contests, winning Contests, and withdrawing Prizes.
B. Accuracy
If you fail to provide the required information, if we reasonably believe that you have provided
false, misleading, inaccurate, incomplete, not current, or otherwise incorrect information to us, if
you fail to promptly update such information to maintain its accuracy and completeness, or if we
or any of our authorized agents have reasonable grounds to suspect that a violation of this
provision has occurred, we may reject, suspend, or terminate your account, as well as subject you
to criminal and civil liability. Acceptance of registration is subject to our sole discretion. While
we may require you to provide additional information as necessary to verify the accuracy of your
identity and the information you provide to us, you understand and agree that we do not sponsor
or endorse any user.
C. No Account Sharing
You will not use, attempt to access, or ask for the login credentials for any third party’s account
at any time. You will not allow any third party to access or use your account at any time, nor
provide any third party with your login credentials. We will not be liable for any loss that you
may incur as a result of any third party that uses your password or otherwise accesses your
account, either with or without your knowledge. You will be liable for losses incurred by us or
any third party due to release of account credentials to unauthorized persons.
D. Termination by You
You may delete your account by clicking “Delete Account” in your account settings. You will

unauthorized user are jointly and severally liable for any fees that will be due.
E. Termination by Us
We may suspend or terminate your account, membership, and any licenses herein, at any time,
for any reason, in our sole discretion, including if you violate these Terms of Service or if your
account becomes inactive for more than nine months. If we terminate your account, you will be
responsible for all charges to your account at the time of termination, and any remaining balance
of unused Tokens or unwithdrawn Prizes in the account will become non-refundable. We are not
responsible for preserving terminated account information which may be permanently deleted in
our discretion.
2. Billing and Payments
A. Purchases
You agree to pay all fees or account charges related to any fees, taxes, charges, purchases, or
upgraded features associated with your account, immediately when due in accordance with our
stated billing policy, or that of our third-party billing agent. You acknowledge that the charge on
your banking statement may display our company name, one of our brand names, or our third-
party billing agent’s name. You understand and agree that you are responsible for all fees or
penalties that are associated with your account. Your account will be deemed past due if it is not
paid in full by the payment due date. Your card issuer agreement may contain additional terms
with respect to your rights and liabilities as a card holder. You agree to pay all amounts due
immediately upon cancellation or termination of your account.
B. Account Balances
You understand and agree that (i) your balance of unused Tokens and unwithdrawn Prizes may
not be returned or paid to you if Skill Shot becomes insolvent, (ii) Skill Shot does not pay
interest on balances of unused Tokens and unwithdrawn Prizes, and (iii) balances and
transactions related to Tokens and Prizes are only reported to you through Skill Shot, and we are
under no obligation to issue any other report regarding your account balance or transactions.
C. Taxes
You shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, and we will not be responsible for any federal
income tax withholding, unemployment contribution, workers compensation, Medicare /
Medicaid, or any employment-related benefits. If requested, you will provide us with a Social
Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number, so that an IRS form 1099 may be issued
where required by law. Failure to provide such information to us may result in termination of
these Terms of Service.
D. Third-Party Payment Processing
We utilize various third-party payment processors and gateways, and we reserve the right to
contract with additional third-party payment processors and gateways in our sole discretion to
process all payments associated with Skill Shot. Such third parties may impose additional terms
and conditions governing payment processing. You are responsible for abiding by such terms.
We further disclaim any liability associated with your violation of such terms.
E. Changes to Your Billing and Payment Information
You must promptly inform our third-party billing and payment agents of all changes, including
changes in your address, debit or credit card, and other banking information used in connection
with billing or payments through Skill Shot. You are responsible for any debit or credit card
charge backs, dishonored checks, and any related fees that we incur with respect to your account,
along with any additional fees or penalties imposed by our third-party billing or payment agents.
F. Chargebacks
If you make a purchase on Skill Shot that results in a chargeback, we may terminate your
account. You agree to contact us to seek a resolution of any issue before initiating a chargeback.
We reserve the right to withhold or reverse any Prizes generated from purchases of Tokens that
resulted in a chargeback or other reversal of payment.
G. Changes to Our Billing and Payment Methods
We reserve the right to make changes at any time to our fees and billing and payment methods,
including the addition of administrative or supplemental charges for any feature, with or without
prior notice to you.
H. Refunds
You understand and agree that it is our standard policy that all purchases are final and
nonrefundable. We reserve the right to address all refund requests in our sole discretion. In no
instance will a refund be provided where the user initiates a chargeback.
I. Billing and Payment Errors
If you believe that you have been erroneously billed for activity associated with your account, or
if you believe that we have paid you an insufficient amount for any activity associated with your
account, please notify our third-party billing or payment agents immediately of such error. If you
do not do so within thirty (30) days after such billing or payment error first appears on any
account statement, the fee or payment in question will be deemed acceptable by you for all
purposes, including resolution of inquiries made by or on behalf of your banking institution. You
release us from all liabilities and claims of loss resulting from any error or discrepancy that is not
reported within thirty (30) days of the bill or payment being rendered to you. These terms shall
supplement and be in addition to any terms required by third party billing or payment entities we
engage to provide billing or payment services. You are responsible for review and compliance
with such entity’s terms in addition to those contained in these Terms of Service.
J. Fraudulent Use of Credit Cards
We take credit card fraud very seriously. Discovery that you have used a stolen or fraudulent
credit card will result in the notification of the appropriate law enforcement agencies and
termination of your account.
K. Anti-Money Laundering
We prohibit and seek to prevent money laundering and the funding of criminal activities. We
train our employees to monitor for suspicious transactions on Skill Shot and to review
transactions that meet certain thresholds or criteria. We may provide any evidence of such
activities by our users (and your personally identifiable information as detailed in our Privacy Policy
to financial regulators or law enforcement, as deemed necessary by us.
We may prevent you from creating an account, suspend or terminate your account, refuse to
process any transaction, or request additional information from you if (1) you provide fraudulent
account or payment information, such as impersonating a third party, (2) one or more of your
transactions is flagged, or (3) you are on OFAC’s list of Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons or a similar sanctions or terrorism watch list. If you refuse or fail to provide any
requested information in a timely manner, we will terminate your account.
3. Grant of Rights
You understand that all we are offering you is access to and use Skill Shot and the Materials, as
we provide them from time to time. You need to provide your own access to the Internet,
hardware, and software, and you are solely responsible for any fees that you incur to access or
use Skill Shot. All users may access and use certain public areas of Skill Shot, free of charge. We
grant all users a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, and nontransferable personal license to access
and use only those Materials provided on free areas of Skill Shot for private, non-commercial
purposes. This free license does not include a license to access or use paid areas of Skill Shot or
the Materials therein. If you have purchased Tokens and passed our age verification process or if
you have obtained free Tokens by engaging in a qualifying activity, we also grant you a limited,
nonexclusive, revocable, and nontransferable personal license to access and use Skill Shot and
the Materials, as limited by your purchase of certain premium features. This premium license is
for private, non-commercial purposes. We reserve the right to limit the amount of Materials
viewed or features available to you. Your license to access and use Skill Shot, the Materials, and
certain premium features is not a transfer of title. You will not copy or redistribute any Material,
and you will prevent others from unauthorized access, use of, or copying of the Materials.
We may permit you to submit to, post on, or share with Skill Shot certain evidence, information
about your player profile and your participation in the Contests, and other materials (“Content”).
Except for personally identifiable information covered under our Privacy Policy, we will
consider Content non-confidential and nonproprietary. We will have no obligation regarding
Content, and we do not guarantee any confidentiality for any Content. You are solely responsible
for the Content and the consequences of submitting, posting, or sharing the Content with Skill
Shot. You retain all ownership rights in the Content. However, you grant us a worldwide,
perpetual, nonexclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce,
distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content for our business (and
the business of our successors), including for promoting and redistributing any part of Skill Shot

5. Dispute Resolution and Damages
A. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms of Service and all matters arising out of, or otherwise relating to, these Terms of
Service shall be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Illinois, excluding any
conflict of law principles. Any and all disputes must be, without exception, resolved in Peoria
County, Illinois, and the parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue therein. The parties
additionally agree that this choice of venue and forum is mandatory and not permissive in nature,
thereby precluding any possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to, or arising out
of, these Terms of Service in any other jurisdiction. All parties hereby waive any right to assert
the doctrine of forum non-conveniens or similar doctrines, or to object to venue with respect to
any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph or with respect to any dispute under
these Terms of Service whatsoever. You agree to accept service of process by registered or
certified mail, Federal Express, or Priority Mail, with proof of delivery or return receipt
requested, sent to your last known address for any legal action arising from these Terms of
Service. Any final judgment rendered against a party in any action or proceeding shall be
conclusive as to the subject matter and may be enforced in any manner provided by law if such
enforcement becomes necessary.
B. Waivers
You hereby waive any right or ability to initiate any class action or collective proceeding along
with any right to trial by jury.
C. Rights to Injunctive Relief
You acknowledge that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide us with full compensation
in the event you breach these Terms of Service, and that we shall therefore be entitled to seek
injunctive relief in the event of any such breach, in addition to seeking all other remedies
available at law or in equity.
D. Additional Fees
If we are required to enlist the assistance of an attorney, investigator, collections agent, or other
person to (i) collect any damages or any other amount of money from you, (ii) pursue any claim
against you involving your use of Skill Shot or any breach of these Terms, or (iii) defend any
claim brought by you involving your use of Skill Shot or any alleged breach of these Terms, then
you additionally agree that you will reimburse us for all fees, costs, and expenses incurred if we
prevail. You understand that even a nominal amount of damages may require the expenditure of
extensive legal fees, travel expenses, costs, and other amounts that may dwarf the damages
themselves. You agree that you will pay these fees and costs.
6. Disclaimers
A. We Disclaim All Warranties
We provide access to and use of Skill Shot “as is” and “with all faults.” We make no warranty
that Skill Shot will meet your needs or requirements. We disclaim all warranties — express,
statutory, or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose,
workmanlike effort, quality, suitability, truthfulness, usefulness, performance, accuracy,
completeness, reliability, security, title, exclusivity, quiet enjoyment, non-infringement, and
warranties that your access to or use of Skill Shot will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-
free, or that loss of Content will not occur, to the greatest extent provided by applicable law. We
may change any of the information found on Skill Shot at any time or remove any or all
Materials. We make no commitment to update the Materials. We make no warranty regarding
any goods or services purchased or obtained through Skill Shot or any transaction entered into
through Skill Shot. There are no warranties of any kind that extend beyond the face of these
Terms of Service or that arise because of course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of
trade.
B. Use at Your Own Risk
You expressly agree that access to and use of Skill Shot is at your own and sole risk. You
understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that Skill Shot will be free of viruses,
malware, worms, Trojan horses, or other code that may manifest contaminating or destructive
properties. We do not assume any responsibility or risk for your access to or use of the Internet,
generally, or Skill Shot, specifically. You understand and agree that any Materials downloaded
or otherwise obtained through Skill Shot is done at your own discretion and risk, and that you
will be solely responsible for any damage to your computer system or loss of data that results
from your activity.
C. Third-Party Links
Skill Shot may contain links to websites or resources owned and operated by our users or third
parties. You understand and agree that we have no control over, are not responsible for, and do
not screen nor warrant, endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the goods or services
provided by our users or on third-party links. We will not be a party to or be in any way
responsible for monitoring any transaction between you and other providers of products or
services. As with the purchase of a product or service through any medium or in any
environment, you should use your best judgment and exercise caution where appropriate. You
agree to hold us harmless from all damages and liability that may result from use of third-party
links that appear on Skill Shot and any advertising, services, goods, products, or other materials
available on third-party links. We are not responsible for any use of confidential or private
information by sellers or third parties. You agree that your use of any third-party link or the
goods or services provided thereon is governed by the policies of those third parties, not by these
Terms of Service or our other policies. We reserve the right to demote or remove any link at any
time.
D. Violations of Law
Access to and use of Skill Shot in violation of any law is strictly prohibited. If we determine that
you have provided or intend to purchase or provide any services in violation of any law, your
ability to access and use Skill Shot will be terminated immediately. We do hereby disclaim any
liability for damages that may arise from you or any user providing any services that violate any
law. You do hereby agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless from any liability that may
arise for us should you violate any law. You also agree to defend and indemnify us should any
third party be harmed by your illegal actions or should we be obligated to defend any such
claims by any party.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, independent contractors, telecommunication providers, attorneys, and agents, from
and against all claims, actions, loss, liabilities, expenses, costs, or demands, including without
limitation legal and accounting fees, for all damages directly, indirectly, or consequentially
resulting or allegedly resulting from your actions, or the actions of another person under your
authority, including without limitation to governmental agencies, use, misuse, or inability to use
Skill Shot, or any breach of these Terms of Service by you or another person under your
authority. We shall promptly notify you by electronic mail of any such claim or suit, and we may
cooperate fully (at your expense) in the defense of such claim or suit. We reserve the right to
participate in the defense of such claim or suit at our own expense, and choose our own legal
counsel; however, we are not obligated to do so.
Notwithstanding or limiting the broad nature of the other limitations and indemnifications in
these Terms of Service, you specifically acknowledge that we will not be liable to you or to the
owners, residents, or visitors of any Course for any issues arising between you and the owners,
residents, or visitors of any Course. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and
our officers, directors, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, telecommunication
providers, attorneys, and agents, from and against all claims, actions, loss, liabilities, expenses,
costs, or demands related to your use of any Course and any issues arising out of the same.
8. Limitation of Liability
You acknowledge that we will not be liable to you for the offensive or illegal conduct of any
person. You understand that the risk of harm or damage from this rests entirely with you, and
you expressly release us from any liability arising out of the conduct of any person. You
discharge, acquit, and otherwise release us, our parent company, agents, employees, officers,
directors, shareholders, attorneys, and affiliates, from all allegations, counts, charges, debts,

therewith.
We expressly disclaim any liability or responsibility to you for any of the following:
