General Terms
a. Entire Agreement
These Terms and our Privacy Policy represent the entire and exclusive agreement between you and
One Putt Properties regarding your use of the Site and Services, superseding and replacing all
previous agreements. You may also be subject to additional terms and conditions or separate
agreements regarding specific Services we provide, partner or affiliate services, use of Third-Party
Resources, or any purchases you may make through the Site.
In the event that these Terms are translated into other languages and there is a discrepancy
between the two language versions, the English language version will prevail in all cases to the
extent that such discrepancy is the result of an error in translation.
b. Waiver and Severability
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right
or provision.
If any provision of these Terms or the application thereof is held to be invalid or unenforceable for
any reason and to any extent, that provision will be considered removed from these Terms; however,
the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable according to the intentions of the
Parties and to the maximum extent permitted by law. If it is held that any provision of these Terms is
invalid or unenforceable, but that by limiting such provision it would become valid and enforceable,
then such provision will be deemed to be written, construed, and enforced as so limited.
c. Assignment
Your rights and obligations under these Terms, including any accounts, profiles, or personalization
settings you may have, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by
you without our prior written consent, and any attempt to do so will be null and void. We may freely
assign these Terms and our rights and obligations hereunder without notice to you, and these Terms
will continue to be binding on assignees.

each other unless otherwise required by law.

without regard to or application of its conflict of law principles or your state or country of residence.

Site or Services will be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Florida, and you
hereby consent to and waive any objection of inconvenient forum as to such jurisdiction.

send you emails, and we post notices on the Site. You consent to receive such electronic
communications and agree that the electronic communications, including, without limitation, all
notices, terms, disclosures, and agreements, has the same legal effect and satisfy any legal
requirement that such communications would satisfy if provided to you in a written hardcopy.

Instructions for Your Terms of Use
All websites need to post their website terms of use in order to notify visitors of its rules and protect
themselves from a wide variety of potential legal liabilities. The following information explains the
main sections and key considerations of website terms of use.
Note that this document is meant for websites based within the United States. It may not be
appropriate for sites hosted in other countries or may need additional language.
Acceptance of Terms
This section explains that, by using the website and any services provided, the visitor agrees to
abide by the terms and conditions. These terms are a binding legal agreement. Also, the section
specifies any age restrictions you impose on visitors.
Browsewrap vs. Clickwrap
“Browsewrap” is the term used for websites that allow users to accept their terms and conditions
simply by navigating through the site. “Clickwrap,” on the other hand, refers to sites that require
visitors to affirmatively agree to the terms by clicking an “Accept” button, or checking a similar box,
before creating an account or making a purchase.
Browsewrap is typically only used for static sites that are primarily informational in nature with little to
no interaction with the site or others and do not offer products or services for sale. Clickwrap is
recommended for all sites that go beyond browsewrap by selling products and services or allowing
users to post content or interact with others.
If you choose to implement clickwrap, you should be sure that your method requires visitors to make
an affirmative action assenting to the terms and conditions. Best practice is to require visitors to
scroll through the entire terms (and privacy policy, if you have one) before they can click the button
or box to agree
License to Use
Visitors are granted the limited right to use the website so long as they conform to the requirements
set out in the terms.
Advertisements
You, as the website operator, have the right to advertisements, some of which may be targeted
based on the type of information on the site, queries made, or other information submitted by
visitors. The types and amount of advertising on the site is subject to change.
Cookies
This section explains that your website uses cookies, which store information related to visitors’
preferences, browser type, and other information in order to optimize their experiences. Visitors may
choose to decline cookies by disabling them in their browser settings.
Acceptable Use Policy
This section explains your rules for conduct and provides a lengthy list of prohibited uses of the
website, including using the website
1. for illegal purposes,
2. to transmit viruses and other malicious computer software,
3. to harvest data,
4. to transmit or send unsolicited communications,
5. to commercially exploit its content,
6. to attempt to gain unauthorized access to restricted parts of the site, and
7. to harass, stalk, harm, or otherwise interfere with another user’s normal use and
enjoyment of the site.
International Use and Compliance
Visitors are responsible for ensuring that their use of the site conforms to all local, international, and
other laws that may apply.
Minors and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act
This section, if included, explains whether you knowingly collect, or allow others to collect, personal
information or data from visitors under 13 years of age and, if so, provides your reasons for doing so.
Website operators that collect this information are required to comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), which includes obtaining verifiable parental consent to your collection and use of data pertaining to children.
User Accounts
This section is included if you allow visitors to the website to create user accounts or profiles. Those
that do so are called “Members.” By creating an account, each Member agrees that all information
submitted when creating an account is true and accurate and promises to update and maintain the
accuracy of this information at all times. Each Member is the sole authorized user of his or her
account and is responsible for keeping passwords and account access information confidential.
User Content
This section is included if you indicated that visitors can submit content on the site. After providing a
definition of such “User Content,” the section explains that you do not monitor, support, or endorse
the submission or publication of any particular User Content and, therefore, may not be held
responsible for it. You may remove User Content at any time and for any reason, without notice.
User Content License
Visitors maintain ownership of all User Content submitted and grant you a license to use, publish,
copy, and modify the content as you choose.
Enforcement of Acceptable Use Policy
You may review and investigate visitors’ use of the site and take any appropriate action against them
that you determine necessary in your sole discretion.
Third-Party Resources
Here, you explain that the site may contain links and advertisements to third-party websites and
services, called “Third-Party Resources.” Visitors agree that Third-Party Resources are not under
your control and that you are not responsible for the content, products, or services they provide.
Modification of Site
In this section, you reserve the right to modify, add to, suspend, or terminate all or part of the site or
its services at any time with or without providing prior notice to visitors.
Support or Maintenance
Here, visitors are told that you are under no obligation to provide customer support or website
maintenance.
Restricted Access
Visitors agree not to use the site to gain improper access to restricted parts. If you provide visitors
with account access to areas of the site that are restricted to the general public, such visitors agree
not to share their password and other access information with others
Privacy
This section alerts visitors to your privacy policy, if you have one, and explains the general situations
that you may be required to disclose visitor information to others; for instance, to respond to legal
claims or requests for customer service.
Your Rights and Ownership
With the exception of any User Content that may be submitted by visitors, you own all intellectual
property rights to the content on the website. Visitors agree not to sell, copy, or otherwise
misappropriate your intellectual property and to keep all copyrights, trademarks, and other
intellectual property notices on all copies of your content.
Copyright Policy
This section outlines the process for reporting any allegations of copyright infringement on your
website according to the proper procedure outlined under 17 U.S.C. 512(c) and then designates
your copyright agent responsible for receiving and investigating such notices. This information is
necessary to comply with the safe harbor provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
These requirements include that you (a) provide notice to your users of your policies regarding
copyright infringement and the consequences of repeated infringing activity, (b) follow the proper
notice and takedown procedures, including removing, or disabling access to, the material, providing
notice to the individual responsible for such material, providing such individual with an opportunity to
provide proper “counter-notice,” and complying with applicable procedures thereafter, and (c)
designate an agent to receive notices of infringement from copyright owners.
Sales, Refund, and Cancellation Policies
If you sell goods or services through your website, then you should outline your sales policy in this
section, including any conditions of sale, return policies, guarantees, payment details, fees, and
shipping terms. Doing so helps avoid potential disputes and lawsuits with aggrieved visitors.
Likewise, you should include any refund and cancellation policies you may have in order to put
visitors on notice and avoid conflicts.
Disclaimers
The disclaimers include many of your most important terms and conditions. Among these, visitors
are told that the site is provided on an “as-is” basis, and potential express and implied warranties are
disclaimed in order to prevent visitors from seeking to hold you liable for promises you do not intend
to offer. This also includes disclaimers for any loss or damages that may occur to visitors’ computers,
internet connections, or User Content.
Visitors are told that the content on your website is for informational purposes only and does not
offer any professional advice, including legal, financial, or medical advice.
Limitation of Liability
This is another important section because it limits your potential liability for visitors’ use of the site to
a maximum of the greater of $100 or amounts paid by the visitors in the past six months.
Visitors also agree not to bring any claims personally against any of your subsidiaries, officers,
employees, contractors, agents, affiliates, partners, suppliers, or licensors.
Indemnity and Release
Here, visitors agree to indemnify you against (meaning pay for) any claims by third parties that result
from visitors’ use of the site.
Visitors agree not to pursue any claim or action they may have against you or your affiliates.
Termination and Modification
You may terminate visitors’ access to any part or service on the site at any time in your sole
discretion, without notice.

acceptance of such updates. You will provide visitors with notice of such updates by any reasonable
means, including by email or posting notice in a prominent place on the site.
Violation of These Terms
You have the right to take any and all appropriate actions you deem necessary should a visitor
