4. Blades and Grass Passes
4.1 Blades
Blades are a virtual in-app currency with no real-world monetary value outside the Service. Blades cannot be transferred to other users, exchanged for cash, or redeemed outside the App. The value per Blade may be adjusted by us at any time.
4.2 Grass Passes
Grass Passes are monthly auto-renewable subscriptions processed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Three tiers are available: Grasscal Flatts, Grass Half Full, and Blades of Glory. Each tier provides a set number of Blades per billing cycle. Unused Blades roll over each month, up to the number of Blades included in your current plan.
4.3 Subscription Management
You may cancel your Grass Pass at any time through your device’s subscription settings (Apple App Store or Google Play Store). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period. No partial refunds will be issued for the current billing cycle.
4.4 Refunds
Refunds of Blades may be issued in the following circumstances:
- Course-initiated date blocks that cancel your reservation
- Weather closures (full or partial refund depending on holes completed, as determined by course settings)
- Technical failures attributable to the Service
All monetary refund requests are subject to Apple and Google’s respective refund policies.
5. Payments
All financial transactions are processed through Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”). By making a purchase, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service. We store payment card tokens - not full card numbers - through Stripe’s PCI-compliant infrastructure. You may add, remove, or update payment methods within the App.
Course-related financial transactions (green fees, bike rental fees, invoicing) are handled between the Company and partner courses pursuant to separate commercial agreements.
6. E-Bike Usage and Safety
When using LFG e-bikes at partner courses, you agree to:
- Operate e-bikes safely and in accordance with course rules
- Return bikes to the designated rack within the allotted time, including any overtime grace period
- Not tamper with, damage, or remove any component of the e-bike, including batteries and NFC/QR hardware
- Accept financial responsibility for damage to or loss of e-bikes, chargers, and equipment during your use
- Report any malfunction or safety issue to the clubhouse immediately via the walkie-talkie feature or by contacting course staff
Overtime penalties may apply if bikes are not returned within the grace period. Lost or stolen bike replacement costs are governed by the course’s contract terms.
7. Golf Club Sets
At participating courses, LFG-provided golf club sets may be available for use during your round. If you elect to use a club set:
- You must select the club set type before your round
- You are required to photograph the returned club set at the end of your round
- Missing or damaged clubs will be assessed by the course or dispatcher, and applicable charges will be billed to your account
8. Competitions
Tournaments, Challenges, and Invitationals are governed by the specific rules displayed within the App for each event. By entering a competition, you agree to abide by those rules, including scoring formats (Stroke Play, Stableford, Match Play, Skins, Best Ball) and handicap adjustments.
Rankings and leaderboard positions are determined by the App’s scoring system. We reserve the right to disqualify participants for rule violations, cheating, or unsportsmanlike conduct.
