Purchase and Sale Transactions

Fees; Transactions - Registering for the Service is free; however, Golfstix charges certain fees for various transactions effected through the Service. Seller fees are as follows:

Sellers pay a 10% Final Sale Fee (unless otherwise agreed to under the terms of a promotion or Preferred Partner Agreement) plus credit card processing fees. The Final Sale Fee is equal to the total amount of the final sale plus shipping fees. Credit card processing fees are 2.90% plus $0.30 per transaction.

Pro and Premium user Seller fees are 7.5% Final Sale Fee plus credit card processing fees. Premium+ user Seller fees are 5% Final Sale Fee plus credit card processing fees.

Sellers may promote their listings to be featured on the homepage, at the top of search results, and in the user feed for an additional fee. Promoted Listing Fees are as follows: $3.99 for 72 hours, $5.99 for 7 days, and $12.99 until the item is sold.

Pro users get one active Featured listing until sold per month. Premium users get 3 active Featured listings until sold per month. Premium+ users get 6 active Featured listings until sold per month.

Sellers may also have Golfstix consign their listings for a 20% Final Sale Fee, in which Golfstix will take photos, write detailed item descriptions, price items with seller consent, and package and ship items to buyers when sold.

Unless otherwise stated, all fees are quoted in U.S. Dollars. In addition to the payment of the applicable purchase price for a purchased item, buyers are responsible for paying all shipping costs to Golfstix and all applicable sales, excise, import, export, VAT and other taxes or duties associated with the purchase and sale of any items through the Service. All such shipping costs and taxes may not be included in the listed price for any items made available from sellers through the Service, but will be displayed to buyers before confirmation of any purchase. Sellers are responsible for all income taxes associated with the purchase and sale of any items through the Service. No sales tax is charged to buyers at this time through the Service. For clarity, all Calculated shipping costs paid will be retained by Golfstix, Flat Rate shipping costs will be paid to sellers.

Premium Membership Subscription - Users can access value-added services through our Pro, Premium, and Premium+ Membership tiers. Premium users pay $20/month or $160/annually and get a reduced Seller fee of 7.5%, access to included Golfstix Verified service on all marketplace transactions. Premium+ users pay $30/month or $270/annually and get a reduced Seller fee of 5%, access to included Golfstix Verified service on all marketplace transactions, and access to Golfstix Studio services.

Premium Membership Subscription Billing - A user is charged immediately when upgrading to any tier of the Golfstix Premium Membership. The user will be charged on the same day of the following month from their upgrade or billing date. Golfstix prorates membership subscription upgrades. For example, if a user signs up as a Pro user (monthly plan) on May 1st for $10, they’ll be billed $10 immediately. If on May 15th they upgrade to the Premium+ monthly plan ($30/mo) they’ll be immediately billed $20 or the prorated difference between their previous and new subscription amounts. Their monthly billing date will not change from their previous monthly billing date. Upgrading does not change the original monthly billing date unless:

  • • The billing interval is changed (for example, from monthly to yearly).
  • • The subscription moves from free (standard user) to paid, or paid to free.
In these cases, we apply a credit for the unused time on the previous price, immediately charge the customer using the new price, and reset the billing date. A user can cancel their subscription at any time in the user dashboard under ‘Payments’. The customer will not be charged again for the subscription and will have continued use of the services of their membership until the expiration of their final billing period.

Credit Card Transactions - To the extent you as a buyer effect any transactions using a credit card, you must have a valid credit card on file, and we will (or a third party credit card processor may) store your credit card information. Golfstix will verify your credit card information (including expiration date and billing address), but will not charge your credit card unless you conduct an activity through the Service that requires your credit card to be charged. By agreeing to pay for a transaction with your credit card, you authorize us to charge your credit card.

Fee Modifications - We reserve the right to change or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, some or all of the fees for the Service (including to lower fees for promotional events), and such changes are effective when we post information about the fee change through the Service. Additionally, we may change our Fees at any time and in our sole discretion, and any changes to the Fees are effective upon the posting of such changes to the Terms of Service.

The Service is only a Venue and Golfstix is not affiliated with or endorsed by any designer, manufacturer, retailer or brand of the items that users buy or sell on the Golfstix marketplace: The Service acts as an open marketplace for users to interact with other users to buy and sell golf equipment and accessories. Golfstix only provides a service, is not involved in any transaction between buyers and sellers who use the Service, does not obtain title to any purchased items and does not act as the buyer or seller (or agent for buyers or sellers) with respect to any such transactions. Golfstix is not affiliated with or endorsed by any manufacturer, retailer or brand of the items that users buy or sell on the Golfstix marketplace. There are risks that you assume when dealing with other users (including those who may be acting under false pretenses). You agree that all of these risks are borne by you, and not Golfstix. Golfstix does not control the behavior of users of the Service or the information or other content provided by other users that is made available through the Service. As a result, Golfstix does not guarantee or endorse the authenticity, quality, safety, or legality of any items offered or sold, the truth or accuracy of any listings, or the ability of sellers to sell items or of buyers to buy items. We cannot assure that all transactions will be completed. Additionally, Golfstix does not guarantee the ability or intent of users to fulfill their obligations in any transactions. Golfstix reserves the right to delay the completion of any transaction for a reasonable period of time for purposes of fraud detection and otherwise protecting Golfstix and its users from illegal or wrongful activities.

FOR EVERY TRANSACTION THAT IS COMMENCED THROUGH OUR SITE, YOU MUST MAKE YOUR OWN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION REGARDING THE STATEMENTS, PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS OR THE REPRESENTATIONS OF THE OTHER PARTY AND THE PARTY'S ABILITY TO PAY FOR OR DELIVER THE ITEM(S) OFFERED. PLEASE USE CAUTION, COMMON SENSE, AND PRACTICE SAFE TRADING WHEN DEALING WITH OTHER USERS OR OTHERWISE USING THE SITE. 

Messaging System - User authentication on the Internet is difficult. Golfstix may attempt, but is under no obligation, to independently confirm a user's purported identity. Therefore, we have established a messaging system to help you evaluate the user with whom you are dealing. We also encourage you to communicate directly with potential buyers or sellers through the features available through the Service.

Listing Restrictions - Golfstix prohibits the listing or sale of any fake, replica, counterfeit, or item that is illegal to sell under any applicable law, statute, ordinance, or regulation.

Selling - You must have the legal authority to sell the items that you are listing for sale through the Service. You must describe your item and all terms of sale in your listing truthfully, accurately and reasonably completely. If you accept an offer, you shall complete the transaction with the buyer unless the transaction is prohibited by law or these Terms of Service, subject to the return procedure described below. You are also responsible for payment of the commission to Golfstix as set forth in the Fees. An offer to sell may be retracted at any time prior to its acceptance, but not after.

Buying - If you agree to purchase an item through the Service and confirm the transaction, you are obligated to complete the transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions specified by the seller (e.g., with respect to the listing price), unless the transaction is prohibited by law or these Terms of Service, subject to the return procedure described below.

Shipping - Upon the confirmation of any purchase and sale transaction using Calculated shipping through the Service and payment of the required amount by the buyer, Golfstix will send to the seller's email address indicated in the seller's account information a pre-paid shipping label for seller to ship the purchased item to the buyer. The seller must ship the purchased item to the buyer using the shipping label (and corresponding shipping method) required by Golfstix within 3 days after receipt of such shipping label. If the seller does not ship the purchased item within the required time period, then the seller will be notified that the order will be cancelled unless it is shipped within the time period required in such notice. Upon receipt of confirmation from the buyer that it has satisfactorily received and accepted the purchased item, Golfstix will credit seller's account in an amount equal to the purchase price received from the buyer, minus a commission to be retained by Golfstix, as detailed in the Fees. The buyer must confirm its acceptance within 3 days after receipt of the purchased item; if the buyer does not respond within such time period, the purchased item will be deemed accepted. Any funds credited to seller's account may be redeemed by the seller through a permitted third party payment provider (e.g., by ACH from the chosen financial institution of Golfstix) or used by seller to purchase items listed by other sellers through the Service.

Returns -Return policies differ amongst sellers and are responsible for establishing their own policy in the Return Policy section when creating a listing. Although some sellers may not allow returns of items, we do strive to make our customers happy. If the item you receive is damaged, the wrong item or not as described, or if any items are missing, then you must report the issue in the Golfstix Service within 3 days after delivery of the purchased item. Alternatively, you can also email us within 3 days after delivery at support@golfstix.com to let us know.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.

Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

  • a. Agreement to Arbitrate

    This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in these Terms of Service as the "Arbitration Agreement." You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Golfstix, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Service, you and Golfstix are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

  • b. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

    YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND COMPANY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).

  • c. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution

    Golfstix is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer's satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@golfstix.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). The Notice to Golfstix should be sent to 3830 Valley Centre Drive Suite 705-723, San Diego, CA 92130-3320 ("Notice Address"). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Golfstix and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Golfstix may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Golfstix or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Golfstix is entitled.

  • d. Arbitration Procedures

    Arbitration will be conducted by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. For information on the AAA, please visit its website, http://www.adr.org. Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA's consumer arbitration page, http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under the Terms of Service and applicable law. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

    Unless Golfstix and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 or less, Golfstix agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

  • e. Costs of Arbitration

    Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the "Arbitration Fees") will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, Golfstix will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000 and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, Golfstix will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Golfstix will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys' fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

  • f. Confidentiality

    All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

  • g. Severability

    If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection (b) titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of subsection (b) above titled "Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief" are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

  • h. Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement

    Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms of Service to the contrary, Golfstix agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Golfstix written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms of Service (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms of Service).

Termination

You agree that Golfstix, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any items or content within the Service, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Golfstix believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms of Service. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be grounds for termination of your use of Service, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement authorities. Golfstix may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms of Service may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Golfstix may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Golfstix shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service. 

User Disputes

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions (including any purchase and sale transactions) with any other user in connection with the Service and Golfstix will have no liability or responsibility with respect thereto. Golfstix reserves the right, but has no obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any other user of the Service. 

General

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between you and Golfstix and govern your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Golfstix with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software. These Terms of Service shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and Golfstix agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within San Diego County, California. The failure of Golfstix to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Service remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or these Terms of Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. A printed version of this agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. The section titles in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms of Service or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
