NATURE OF THE CHALLENGE – SKILL-BASED ACTIVITY
ForeFans offers a single skill-based Game. Any references to additional formats, events, or promotional variations relate solely to the manner in which the Game is administered and do not constitute separate games or alter the governing Official Rules.
A Challenge may be offered as:
- On-course challenge during normal play; or
- Scheduled pop-up events hosted at golf courses, driving ranges, simulator facilities, or other approved venues (“Pop-Up Events”).
The Challenge is skill-based contest. Outcomes are determined solely by the Participant’s golf skill and performance. No element of chance determines the outcome. The Challenge is not gambling, wagering, lotteries, or games of chance.
Participation entitles the Player only to the number of shots or attempts expressly purchased, with each Entry authorizing a single (1) stroke unless otherwise expressly permitted. All requirements set forth in the Official Rules are conditions precedent to any prize eligibility or payment. No Player shall have any right to a prize unless all such conditions have been satisfied.
REGISTRATION; ENTRY INTEGRITY; VERIFICATION
To participate, including on-course or pop-up Game (hole-in-one Challenge), you must complete the required registration process through the Services. Registration may include scanning a QR code provided at the participating venue and submitting requested information (“Application Data”), which may include, without limitation:
- your name and contact information;
- payment and transaction details;
- event, course, or venue identification;
- device, location, timestamp, and participation data; and
- any additional information reasonably required to confirm eligibility, enforce these Terms, or verify Challenge compliance.
You agree not to misuse or manipulate QR codes, submit false or misleading information, attempt unauthorized or duplicate entries, or circumvent entry controls, verification procedures, or security measures.
ForeFans reserves the right to use reasonable technical, administrative, and operational measures, including, without limitation, geolocation data, timestamps, video review, distance measurement tools, automated systems, or manual review, to verify eligibility, participation integrity, and compliance with these Terms. All determinations shall be made by ForeFans in its good-faith judgment, based on the Verification System and shall be final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
Video and system data captured by ForeFans’ Verification System shall constitute the primary, authoritative, and controlling evidence for purposes of gameplay and verification, absent a verified Technical Malfunction. ForeFans retains video footage, audio recordings, and Verification System data (including related system logs and metadata) for a period of 45 days following the date of the relevant Entry (the “Retention Period”), after which such data may be deleted, overwritten, or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ForeFans will preserve such data where: (i) retention is required by applicable law, regulation, or contractual obligation; or (ii) ForeFans has received notice of a potential claim or otherwise has reason to believe that a dispute, claim, or legal proceeding may arise relating to a particular Entry, Player, or Game.
For purposes of this section, notice of a potential claim includes, without limitation, receipt of a demand letter, reservation-of-rights letter, attorney communication, arbitration demand, litigation filing, or any other written or oral communication that reasonably indicates a dispute or potential claim.
Upon such notice, ForeFans will implement a litigation hold and preserve relevant data for a commercially reasonable period necessary to evaluate, respond to, and resolve the matter.
SHOT RECORDING, MEASUREMENT, VERIFICATION, AND FINALITY
All Challenge attempts are recorded and reviewed using ForeFans’ procedures, which may include camera systems, sensors, spotters, range markings, simulator data, or other verification tools selected by ForeFans. Participants may not take practice or warm-up shots directed toward the target prior to an official attempt where such restriction is specified in the Official Rules. Violation may result in disqualification.
ALL VERIFICATION DETERMINATIONS MADE BY FOREFANS ARE FINAL AND BINDING TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
A valid attempt must:
- Originate from the designated hitting location;
- Be taken during the authorized event window;
- Be recorded or measured in compliance with ForeFans procedures; and
- Comply with all posted rules and instructions.
ForeFans reserves the right, in its good-faith judgment, to disqualify any participant for cheating, fraud, unsafe conduct, rule violations, misrepresentation, or any conduct that undermines the integrity of the Challenge or the Service.
PRIZES AND VERIFICATION
Prizes are awarded only upon verified successful completion of the applicable skill-based outcome. Verification may include on-site observation, video review, automated or AI-assisted analysis, distance measurement, and/or third-party confirmation, as determined by ForeFans. All prize determinations are final and binding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Prize types and amounts vary by Challenge and event format. Hole-In-One prizes are awarded only for valid, verified hole-in-one shots.
As a strict condition precedent to any prize eligibility, a participant must notify ForeFans of any potentially winning shot within twelve (12) hours of occurrence using the ForeFans Platform or other method expressly designated by ForeFans. Failure to provide timely notice shall result in automatic disqualification. Additionally, a Participant may be required to: (i) provide valid government-issued identification; (ii) complete IRS Form W-9 or other required tax documentation; and (iii) execute a prize acceptance, release, and publicity agreement. All prizes are subject to identity verification and compliance review.
ForeFans may delay, withhold, or deny prize payment where it determines, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, that:
- these Terms or the Official Rules were not satisfied;
- a Technical Malfunction occurred;
- fraud, manipulation, or irregularity is suspected; or
- required documentation is incomplete or inaccurate.
In the event of a verified Technical Malfunction, ForeFans may, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, provide a replay opportunity, refund, credit, or other remedial action. No participant shall be entitled to any specific remedy unless expressly determined by ForeFans.
No rights relating to any Entry, Potentially Winning Shot, or Prize may be assigned or transferred. Any prize not claimed or required documentation not completed within the timeframe specified by ForeFans may be forfeited. Verification of any Potentially Winning Shot is a multi-step process that may include ForeFans’ internal review and, where applicable, independent confirmation by ForeFans’ insurance provider or underwriting partner. No prize obligation arises unless and until all required stages of verification, including any required underwriter approval as set forth in the “Prize Funding and Insurance” section below, have been fully completed.
All federal, state, and local taxes, reporting obligations, and required filings related to any prize are the sole responsibility of the prize recipient.
PRIZE FUNDING AND INSURANCE
Certain prizes may be funded through third-party insurance or underwriting arrangements. The terms governing such arrangements, including the conditions for prize payment, ForeFans’ lack of insurer status, the absence of direct rights against any underwriter, and any limited remedies in the event of underwriter denial, are set forth in the ‘Prize Funding and Insurance’ section of the Official Rules, incorporated herein by reference.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION, BINDING ARBITRATION, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.
SUBJECT TO THE PROCESS AND LIMITED EXCEPTIONS SET OUT BELOW, YOU AND FOREFANS EACH AGREE TO SUBMIT TO CONFIDENTIAL, BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE COUNTY OF PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, USA FOR ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO: (I) THESE TERMS, (II) YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OR RECEIPT OF THE SERVICES OR ANY PRODUCTS, SERVICES, OR INFORMATION SOLD, PURCHASED, OR THAT YOU RECEIVE THROUGH OUR SERVICES; OR (III) ANY OTHER SERVICES OR PRODUCTS PROVIDED, MANAGED, OPERATED, SERVICED, OR FULFILLED BY FOREFANS, IN EACH CASE, REGARDLESS WHEN THAT DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY AROSE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE RELEVANT LEGAL THEORY (“DISPUTE”).
Before commencing arbitration, the party asserting a Claim must first provide written notice by sending an email to support@forefansgolf.com and engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days, which is a condition precedent to arbitration and tolls any applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration shall be conducted pursuant to the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, confidential, and binding, and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU AND FOREFANS AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. You expressly waive the right to a trial by jury and to participate in any class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action or proceeding. The arbitrator shall have no authority to conduct or award relief on a class or representative basis. Claims filed in small claims court and claims seeking injunctive relief to protect intellectual property rights are not subject to arbitration. To the extent any Claim is not subject to arbitration, it shall be governed by Florida law, and exclusive venue and jurisdiction shall lie in the state or federal courts located in Broward or Palm Beach County, Florida. If the class action waiver is found unenforceable, this entire arbitration provision shall be null and void; otherwise, the remaining provisions shall survive.

In the event of a Force Majeure Event ForeFans may, in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith, reschedule, modify, suspend, or cancel the Challenge. Any remedies, if provided, shall be determined by ForeFans in its reasonable discretion exercised in good faith.
MISCELLANEOUS
Under no circumstances will ForeFans be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to causes beyond its reasonable control.
No failure or delay by ForeFans in exercising any right or provision under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of that right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
ForeFans may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets or equity, or by operation of law. Users may not assign their rights or obligations without ForeFans’ prior written consent.
