Coach Terms of Service

GNG (Golfers Next Generation) is operated by Magnus Golf Coaching LLC, a limited liability company registered in Wyoming, United States ("GNG", "we", "us"). These terms form the agreement between GNG and you, the coaching professional or coaching organisation using the Service ("Coach", "you").

"Service" means the GNG web application and everything in it. "Player" means a golfer a Coach adds to their roster. "Parent" means the parent or legal guardian of a Player who is a minor. "Content" means drills, tests, practice plans, assignments, notes and analyses. "Video" means swing recordings uploaded by a Coach or a Player, and the coach analyses recorded over them.

You must be at least 18 years old and act as a golf coach, instructor or coaching organisation. GNG is invite-only during testing: an account can only be created through a personal invitation link or an access code issued by us. Give an accurate name and email address, confirm your email, keep your password private and do not share your account. Invitation links are personal, expire after 14 days and can be used once.

GNG is a practice-planning, measurement and video tool. It records what you prescribe and what your Players do, and shows you the result. It does not diagnose, it does not coach, and it does not replace your professional judgement. Every coaching decision made using GNG remains yours. Signals, charts and summaries in the Service are descriptions of recorded data, not recommendations.

For the personal data of your Players, you are the controller and GNG is your processor. The terms of that processing are set out in the Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of these terms.

• You are responsible for having a lawful basis to add a Player to your roster and to enter their name, email and handicap index.
• You are responsible for having permission to record and upload Video of a person, and for the content of any analysis you record over it, including your voice.
• Minors. Where a Player is under 16, you must obtain the consent of that Player's Parent before adding them, using the parental consent mechanism GNG provides, and you must keep that consent current. Do not add a child by any other route. A Parent may withdraw consent at any time, which removes the child's access.
• You must tell your Players, in terms at least as clear as our privacy notice, that their practice results and Video are visible to you.

[Legal review: confirm the age threshold per jurisdiction — GNG uses 16 platform-wide; EU member states may set 13–16 under GDPR Art. 8, the UK uses 13, and the US COPPA regime uses 13 with verifiable parental consent requirements.]

You own the Content you create: your drills, tests, plans, notes and analyses. You grant GNG the non-exclusive licence needed to store, process and display that Content inside the Service to you and to the Players you share it with, and to make backups.

GNG owns the Service itself — the software, design, and the platform-published exercise and test library. Platform and community Content is licensed to you for use in your own coaching inside GNG; it is not sold or assigned to you, and you may not redistribute it outside the Service. Content that other Coaches have adopted is retired rather than deleted, so that historical results remain readable.

Video is stored with our video processor and delivered through short-lived signed links. You keep ownership of Video you record; a Player keeps ownership of Video they record.

GNG takes 0% commission on your coaching income. We do not take a share of what you charge your Players, we do not intermediate your coaching relationships, and we do not contact your Players for our own purposes. This is a term of this agreement, not a promotion, and we will not change it without giving you at least 30 days' written notice and the right to terminate.

GNG is free during the invite-only testing period. No purchase can be made, and no payment details are collected. Pricing shown on the website is indicative of intended launch pricing and is not an offer.

This section will be completed before any billing begins. We will give at least 30 days' notice before charging starts, and you may terminate rather than accept the new terms.

[Legal review: draft the full fees, billing, tax, refund and price-change clauses when the payment provider is chosen; consider VAT/GST treatment for EU, UK and Gulf coaches and US sales tax nexus for a Wyoming entity.]

Do not attempt to access data belonging to other Coaches or their Players, probe or circumvent access controls, scrape or bulk-export the platform library, upload unlawful, abusive or infringing material, upload Video of a person who has not agreed to it, or use GNG to send unsolicited messages. Do not use the Service to build a competing product.

You may stop using GNG at any time and ask us to close your account by emailing hello@gng.golf. We may suspend or end access where these terms are broken, where continued use presents a security or legal risk, or where the testing programme ends. Where the reason is not urgent we will give you notice and a chance to fix it first.

On closure we delete or anonymise personal data as described in the privacy notice. Deletion is handled by us on request — there is no self-service delete or export tool today. Email privacy@gng.golf and we will action it.

The Service is provided "as is" during the testing period, without any warranty of availability, uninterrupted access, or fitness for a particular purpose. We do not guarantee that Video or results are permanently retained during testing, and you should not use GNG as your only record of anything you need to keep.

To the extent permitted by law, GNG is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit or goodwill, or for any loss arising from coaching decisions made using the Service. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence or for fraud.

[Legal review: set a liability cap. There are no fees today, so a fee-based cap would be zero; decide between a fixed monetary cap during the free period and a fees-paid cap after billing begins, and check enforceability against EU/UK consumer rules for sole-trader coaches.]

We may update these terms. For material changes we will give notice in the Service or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continuing to use GNG after that date means you accept the updated terms.

The entity behind GNG is registered in Wyoming, United States, and its owner is resident in Qatar. Coaches are in the EU, the UK, the Middle East and the US.

[Legal review: confirm governing law and forum. Wyoming is the entity's home, but mandatory EU/UK consumer-protection and jurisdiction rules may apply to coaches acting as individuals regardless of the clause; consider a per-region governing-law table and whether arbitration is appropriate.]
