Terms of Use
The short version. Post your own work, be decent to people, and don't pretend to be crew if you're not. You keep ownership of what you post; you let us show it in GKC. Supporter membership is £9.99 a year (or the local price) through your app store, and you can turn off renewal any time there. Putts are a way of backing crews, not money you own. Break the rules and we can take content down or close your account.
1. Who these terms are with
These terms are between you and Work Less Group Ltd (company number 17015163, registered office 29 Victoria Avenue, Rayleigh, England, SS6 9DH), trading as Greenkeeper Crew ("GKC", "we", "us"). By creating an account you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy.
2. Who can use GKC
You must be 16 or over. You must give accurate details. If you join as crew, you must genuinely work, or have worked, on a golf course or in turf care, and the course and job you give must be true. One person, one account.
3. Crew and Supporters
Crew accounts are free. The verified tick means your club confirmed you work there; we may remove it if that stops being true. Supporters are everyone else. Supporter features (watching the full feed, asking the crews, lawn questions, reporting things on a course, thank-you posts and Putts) need an active Supporter membership.
4. Supporter membership
- It costs £9.99 a year in the UK, US$14.99 in the United States and €9.99 in the euro area (or the local price shown in your app store). It gives you 12 months of access and renews automatically each year unless you turn renewal off.
- You buy and manage it through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Their payment terms apply. Turn off renewal in your store account settings at least 24 hours before the year ends to avoid the next charge; you keep access until the end of the paid year.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. Your statutory rights are not affected.
- Deleting your GKC account does not cancel the membership. Cancel it in your store settings.
- We may change the price with notice through the store. Price changes apply from your next renewal after the notice.
5. Putts
Each Supporter can give up to 10 Putts each calendar month to course crews or crew members. Unused Putts don't roll over. Putts have no cash value, can't be bought, sold or transferred, and aren't money, credit or a payment to any person. We use the Putts a crew collects to decide rewards we fund from Supporter memberships, such as Crew of the Month, crew breakfasts, and kit or training vouchers, usually given through the club. The rewards on offer, how they are decided, and roughly what one Putt is worth to a crew are shown in the app and may change. We may remove Putts given in breach of these terms (for example, by fake accounts).
6. What you post
You keep ownership of your photos, videos and words. By posting, you give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, resize, convert and display your content within GKC and to show it in GKC's own promotion of the app (for example a screenshot of the feed), for as long as it stays on GKC plus a reasonable time to remove it from promotion after you delete it. We won't sell your content or license it to anyone else without asking you.
You promise that you have the right to post what you post, that it doesn't break anyone's rights, and that anyone recognisable in it is happy to be shown. If you post content from a course, you're responsible for having your employer's permission where your job needs it.
7. Community rules
There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Don't post or send anything that:
- harasses, bullies, threatens or demeans anyone, or is hateful about who someone is;
- is sexual, violent, or shows dangerous misuse of machinery or chemicals as a stunt;
- is spam, a scam, or advertising we haven't agreed;
- isn't yours, or passes off someone else's work as your own;
- shares someone's personal details without their permission;
- impersonates anyone, or claims crew status or a job you don't have;
- breaks the law, including health and safety and pesticide rules, or encourages others to.
You can report any post, comment, thread, question or person from the three-dots menu, and block anyone from their profile. We review reports and act on content that breaks these rules, normally within 24 hours, by removing it and, where needed, suspending the account that posted it.
8. Advice on GKC
Answers, board threads, kit reviews and lawn advice come from members sharing experience. They are not professional advice. Follow product labels, the law and your employer's procedures, especially for chemicals and machinery. We are not responsible for what you do based on something you read on GKC.
9. Jobs
Job listings come from employers. We don't employ you, guarantee a listing is accurate, or take part in any hiring decision. When you apply, your application goes to the employer who posted the job.
10. Sponsors
Sponsored content is marked as such. Tagging a partner's kit is optional and only allowed when it genuinely appears in your post. Nobody pays you for tagging unless you agree that with them separately.
11. Ending your account
You can delete your account in the app at any time. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, puts others at risk, or that we must close by law. If we close your account for anything other than a breach, and you have a paid membership, we'll tell you how to get a refund for the unused time.
12. The service
We work hard to keep GKC running and safe, but we provide it as it is and can't promise it will always be available or free of faults. We may change or stop features. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or anything else that can't be limited by law. Otherwise our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.
13. App stores
These terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. Apple and Google aren't responsible for GKC or its content, have no duty to support it, and are third-party beneficiaries of these terms who may enforce them against you. If GKC fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may tell Apple and Apple may refund the purchase price (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation.
14. Changes and law
We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you in the app before it applies, and if you don't agree you can delete your account. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction; if you live elsewhere in the UK you may also bring a claim in your local courts.
