6.3 Monetization of User Generated Content
You may NOT sell, monetize, or commercially distribute any golf courses or other UGC created using the Services without prior written consent from IT Golf LLC. We may, in the future, establish a marketplace or other system for the sale or distribution of user-created courses, at which time separate terms will apply.
6.4 Removal of User Generated Content
We reserve the right, but are not obligated, to suppress, block, hide, remove, or delete any or all UGC at our sole discretion, including but not limited to UGC that:

We will promptly investigate and take appropriate action, which may include removing the allegedly infringing content.

IT Golf LLC provides tools that allow users to create golf courses, including courses that may be inspired by or based on real-world locations. IT Golf LLC does not endorse, approve, or verify the accuracy or legality of user-created courses.
Disclaimer. IT Golf LLC does not have the ability to review or approve all user-created courses prior to publication. Users are solely responsible for ensuring that their courses do not infringe on any third-party intellectual property rights, including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, or other proprietary rights of real-world golf courses, clubs, or organizations.
Takedown Process.

10. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
This Agreement is entered into in the State of Georgia and shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Georgia without regard to conflict of law rules.
Except as otherwise expressly set out in Section 11 "Dispute Resolution," the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that you and IT Golf LLC are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Georgia, and you and IT Golf LLC each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
You and we further acknowledge and agree that the agreement to arbitrate below affects interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under this Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).
11. Dispute Resolution
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY โ IT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
If you have an issue that cannot be resolved quickly and amicably by contacting our customer support at hello@itgolf.io, this Dispute Resolution section explains how you and IT Golf LLC agree to resolve any Dispute (defined below), including (where applicable) by binding, individual arbitration.
11.1 Background on Arbitration
Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution process that allows you and us to try to resolve Disputes without the formality or expense of litigating in court. Arbitration is often faster and less expensive than formal litigation. Disputes that are subject to arbitration are submitted to a neutral arbitrator, who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can, instead of being presented in court to a judge or jury.
If you wish to opt-out of this binding individual arbitration requirement, you must comply with the opt-out process set forth in the "Opt-Out Right" paragraph below. This binding individual arbitration requirement will not apply to the extent prohibited by the laws of your country of residence.
11.2 Informal Negotiation Process
In an effort to help us get to a resolution faster and reduce the costs for both parties, you and IT Golf LLC agree to first attempt to informally negotiate any Dispute for at least 30 days (except as set out in the "Exclusions from Arbitration" section below). Those informal negotiations will start on the day you or IT Golf LLC receive a written Notice of a Dispute.
If you have a Dispute with us, you will send written notice to:
IT Golf LLC
ATTN: NOTICE OF DISPUTE
Email: hello@itgolf.io
Include your name, account name or registered email address you use to access the Services, your address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want us to do about it. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send our Notice of Dispute to your registered email address.
Instead of informal negotiations, you and IT Golf LLC agree that either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court for claims that meet the requirements of small-claims court. If the Dispute is not resolved through informal negotiation or small-claims court, you or IT Golf LLC may start an arbitration as set forth in this Agreement.
11.3 Disputes We Both Agree to Arbitrate
You and IT Golf LLC agree that any Dispute that cannot be resolved through the informal negotiation procedures set forth above or in small-claims court will be submitted to and resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis.
"Dispute" means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those listed in the "Exclusions from Arbitration" paragraph below) between you and IT Golf LLC, under any legal or equitable theory, including any that relates to your use or attempted use of the Services (including any Content, courses, or UGC), any software related to the Services, and IT Golf LLC's products and services generally, all matters under this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or any other agreement between you and IT Golf LLC, including the validity, enforceability, and scope of this binding individual arbitration requirement.
You understand that there is no judge or jury in arbitration and that court review of an arbitration award is limited. You and IT Golf LLC agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a court.
11.4 Exclusions from Arbitration
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the informal negotiation and individual binding arbitration requirements shall not apply to:
- Individual actions duly filed in small claims court of competent jurisdiction on an individual basis;
- Claims relating to or arising from enforcement or validity of intellectual property rights, theft, piracy, or unauthorized use, including any circumvention of technological measures or the creation of cheats or other methods that may interfere with the Services;
- Claims arising from the unauthorized extraction, redistribution, or misuse of Infinite Tees assets or Content;
- Pursuit of enforcement actions through a government agency if the law allows;
- A complaint or remedy under the EU General Data Protection Regulation;
- An action to compel or uphold any prior arbitration decision; and
- The enforceability of the "No Class Actions" paragraph below.
Such claims excluded from informal negotiation and arbitration under this section are subject to the "Governing Law and Jurisdiction" section in this Agreement.
11.5 No Class Actions
The arbitration proceedings in this section will be conducted on an individual basis only. Class actions and class arbitrations are not allowed. You may bring a claim only on behalf of yourself and cannot seek relief that would affect other users of our Services.
Unless both you and IT Golf LLC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief permitted by applicable law only with respect to the individual party seeking relief, but to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may not award relief against either party respecting any person other than that individual party seeking relief.
11.6 Arbitration Rules
Except as expressly provided herein, all Disputes between us shall be resolved by arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), in accordance with the then-current AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single retired judge or professional arbitrator with relevant subject-matter experience.
There shall be one (1) arbitrator, who will be agreed to by the parties within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If no single arbitrator can be agreed upon by the parties, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the rules of AAA.
The arbitration shall allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. If you are outside of the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution ("ICDR") in accordance with its International Expedited Procedures.
If there is a conflict between AAA rules (or, as applicable, the ICDR rules) and the rules set forth in this agreement to arbitrate, the rules set forth in this agreement to arbitrate will govern. You and IT Golf LLC both agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the English language and that the arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.
11.7 Arbitration Procedures
The party starting an arbitration must take the following steps:
- Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
- Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration, one copy of this Agreement, plus the appropriate filing fee to: American Arbitration Association, Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043.
- Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party. You send us a copy to hello@itgolf.io. We will send our copy to your registered email address.
11.8 Notice and Filing
If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or IT Golf LLC must start arbitration of the Dispute within two (2) years of the events giving rise to the Dispute. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than two years after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. We encourage you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. Failure to provide timely notice will permanently bar all claims.
11.9 Arbitration Fees
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, IT Golf LLC will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you.
If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse IT Golf LLC for all fees associated with the arbitration that IT Golf LLC paid on your behalf, which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules.
11.10 Decision of the Arbitrator
The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Any decision or award by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. Unless otherwise agreed, any arbitral award shall consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim or Dispute and provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
The arbitrator shall be permitted to award only those remedies in law or equity which are requested by the parties and which the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence. Unless otherwise expressly consented by IT Golf LLC, the arbitrator may not award relief against IT Golf LLC respecting any person other than you.
Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement.
11.11 Location of Arbitration
The arbitration shall be conducted at a mutually agreed upon location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. If we are unable to agree upon a mutually convenient location within thirty (30) days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration, the determination shall be made by AAA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you or we may participate in the arbitration by videoconference, phone, and/or document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator.
11.12 Confidentiality
Except as may be required by law, the parties shall preserve the confidentiality of all aspects of the arbitration, and shall not disclose to a third party any information made known and documents produced in the arbitration not otherwise in the public domain, all evidence and materials created for the purpose of the arbitration, and all awards arising from the arbitration, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law or regulation, is required to protect or pursue a legal right, or is required to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other competent judicial authority.
11.13 Jury Trial Waiver
You and we expressly waive the right to a trial by judge or jury. YOU AND WE AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT, BY USING ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, YOU AND WE ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHT THAT YOU OR WE MAY HAVE TO A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL WITH REGARD TO ALL CLAIMS SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.
YOU AND WE FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM HEARD IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION WILL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE INSTEAD OF A JURY, EXCEPT WHERE A JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS NOT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.
11.14 Continuation
This Dispute Resolution section survives any termination of this Agreement or the provision of the Services to you by IT Golf LLC.
11.15 Future Changes
Although IT Golf LLC may revise this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or other agreements or policies at its discretion, IT Golf LLC does not have the right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute has accrued.
11.16 Opt-Out Right
You have the right to opt out of this binding individual arbitration requirement and class action waiver. If you do not wish to be bound by the binding individual arbitration and class action waiver in this Agreement, you must notify us in writing of your decision to opt-out within 30 days of the date that you first accept this Agreement or, if we make any changes to this agreement to arbitrate which alter your rights, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such revision to this agreement to arbitrate, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
Your written notification must be sent to hello@itgolf.io with the subject line "ARBITRATION OPT-OUT." Your notice must include: (1) your full name; (2) your mailing address; (3) your user account name, if you have one; and (4) a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with IT Golf LLC through arbitration.
Any opt-out notification received after the applicable deadline or lacking any of the required information will be ineffective and this agreement to arbitrate will remain in full force and effect. If you opt-out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, we also will not be bound by the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate.
11.17 Severability
If any clause within this Dispute Resolution section is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, that clause will be severed and the remainder of this Dispute Resolution section will be given full force and effect.
The only exception to this is the "No Class Actions" paragraph. If the "No Class Actions" paragraph is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in its entirety, this entire Dispute Resolution section will be void and unenforceable, and the Dispute will proceed in court.
Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without IT Golf LLC's express consent. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Georgia. Suits brought in state court may be removed to federal court by either party if permissible by law.
