1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using Office Pool Golf at officepoolgolf.com (the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service.
2. Description of Service
Office Pool Golf ("OPG") is an entertainment platform that allows users to create and participate in prediction pools for professional golf tournaments. Users select rosters of professional golfers and compete against others based on those golfers' actual tournament performance.
Entertainment purposes only. The Service is provided solely for entertainment and social competition among people who know each other. OPG is not a gambling service, betting platform, or daily fantasy sports operator. It is your responsibility to ensure your participation complies with the laws of your jurisdiction.
Platform only. OPG provides tools for pool creation, roster selection, scoring, and leaderboard tracking. OPG does not collect entry fees, hold funds, or distribute payouts. All financial arrangements are between pool commissioners and participants (see Section 5).
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Service. By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older and that your use of the Service does not violate any applicable law or regulation in your jurisdiction.
4. Accounts
You must create an account to use most features of the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it updated. You may not share your account or use another person's account without permission.
Usernames, pool names, entry names, and commissioner notes are subject to automated content filtering. Content that violates community standards (including profanity, slurs, or impersonation) may be rejected or result in account action.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we determine, in our sole discretion, are being used in an abusive, fraudulent, or harmful manner.
5. Pool Creation and Participation
5.1 Pool Commissioners
Users who create pools ("Commissioners") are responsible for the accuracy of pool settings, rules, and payout structures they configure. Commissioners are solely responsible for collecting entry fees from participants (if any) and distributing payouts to winners according to the pool's stated rules. OPG has no role in any financial transactions between commissioners and participants and accepts no liability for any commissioner's failure to collect fees or distribute payouts.
5.2 Participants
By joining a pool, you agree to that pool's specific rules as configured by the Commissioner. Roster selections are final once the pool's lock deadline has passed. You are responsible for reviewing pool rules before submitting an entry.
When joining a pool that has an entry fee, you are required to acknowledge a disclaimer confirming that you understand OPG does not collect, hold, or distribute any money, and that all financial arrangements are between you and the pool commissioner.
5.3 Entry Fees and Payouts
OPG does not collect, hold, or distribute money. Some pools may have entry fees set by the Commissioner. These fees are collected and distributed entirely outside of OPG, directly between the Commissioner and participants, using whatever payment methods they agree upon (e.g., Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash App, cash).
The payment ledger feature available on certain pool tiers is a tracking tool only. It allows commissioners and participants to record payment status but does not process any financial transactions.
OPG does not guarantee the collection or disbursement of entry fees and accepts no liability for disputes between commissioners and participants regarding money.
6. Tier System
Pools are created at one of four tier levels (Par, Birdie, Eagle, Albatross), each offering different feature sets and capacity limits. During the beta period, all tiers are available at no charge. Future pricing, if any, will be announced in advance. OPG reserves the right to modify tier features, limits, and pricing at any time.
7. Prohibited Conduct
