1. About these terms
These SMS Terms describe the text messages sent by GolfAuth Pty Ltd (ABN 55 686 258 408, “GolfAuth”, “we”), the program name for which is GolfAuth Text Messages. They form part of our Terms of Service (section 3.7) and should be read with our Privacy Policy.
GolfAuth only sends texts that relate to your account or to equipment you own or have bought. We do not send marketing texts.
2. Messages we send
2.1 Sign-in and verification codes
A one-time code, sent only when you ask for one: to sign in or sign up with your phone number, or to verify a number on your account.
Your GolfAuth verification code is: 123456
2.2 Account alerts
Sent to the phone number on your GolfAuth account when something happens to equipment you own, for example a lost club of yours being handed in to a pro shop.
GolfAuth: Lost & Found - your TaylorMade Qi10 Driver has been handed in at Cypress Ridge Pro Shop. Drop in and show your GolfAuth proof of ownership in the app to collect. Tap: https://golfauth.com/… Reply STOP to opt out.
2.3 Clubs from a shop purchase
When you buy golf clubs at a shop that connects its point-of-sale system to GolfAuth, we can send you one message with a link to add those clubs to a free GolfAuth bag. We send it only if you agreed at the till (section 3.2), and only by text when the shop has no email address for you; otherwise it comes by email.
GolfAuth: your new TaylorMade Qi10 from Cypress Ridge Pro Shop is ready to add to your free GolfAuth bag. https://golfauth.com/core/?claim=… Reply STOP to opt out.
3. How you opt in
3.1 Signing in, signing up or adding a phone number
The GolfAuth sign-in and sign-up screens (golfauth.com/core, Phone tab, and the GolfAuth iOS and Android apps) and the “change phone number” screen in your profile show this notice next to the phone number field, before any code is sent:
By providing your phone number, you agree to receive text messages from GolfAuth: sign-in and verification codes when you request them, and account alerts, such as when a lost club of yours is handed in to a pro shop. We don’t send marketing texts. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply. For assistance, reply HELP to the number from which you received the message, or contact us at contact@golfauth.com. To stop receiving messages, reply STOP at any time. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy.
You opt in by entering your number and tapping to receive a code. Giving us a phone number is optional: you can use GolfAuth with an email address instead.
3.2 At a golf shop’s till
Shops that connect their point-of-sale system to GolfAuth agree to ask before any message is sent. At checkout, staff ask:
“Would you like GolfAuth to send you a link to add these clubs to your free GolfAuth bag? It’s one message for this purchase, by email or text. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel.”
If you say yes, staff record it on the sale by adding GOLFAUTH OK to the sale note, or by ticking the equivalent consent field in the shop’s system. If you say no, or staff add NO GOLFAUTH, we send nothing. For every sale we record whether consent was given, how, by which shop, when, and in which country.
Consent at the till covers that one message only. It does not sign you up for anything else: you receive further texts only if you create a GolfAuth account and opt in as described in section 3.1.
4. Frequency and costs
Message frequency varies with how you use GolfAuth: codes only when you request them, account alerts only when something happens to your equipment, and one message per shop purchase you agreed to. Standard message and data rates from your mobile carrier may apply.
5. Help and stopping
- Reply STOP (or CANCEL, END, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, STOPALL, REVOKE or OPTOUT) to any GolfAuth text to stop receiving them. We confirm with one final message and send no more texts to that number.
- Reply START to start receiving texts again.
- Reply HELP (or INFO) for help, or email contact@golfauth.com.
If you stop texts, you can still sign in with an email address, and we will tell you about clubs from a shop purchase by email where the shop has one.
6. Your phone number
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties. We share your phone number only with the providers that deliver our messages (Twilio), solely to send them. Our Privacy Policy (section 2.6) explains how we store your number and consent.
7. Carriers
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Messages are sent where your carrier supports them; supported carriers may change without notice.
8. Changes and contact
We may update these SMS Terms. If a change affects which texts you receive, we will not send the new kind of text until you have opted in to it.
