Terms and conditions
Last updated: 06 September 2026
These terms govern access to and use of the E.A.E Golf API and related developer services provided by Dipl.-Ing. Patricio Alfonso Guerrero.
1. Scope
These terms apply to application registrations, API keys, documentation and paid or unpaid API plans. Conflicting customer terms apply only if expressly accepted by us in writing.
The service is intended for entrepreneurs, legal entities under public law and special funds under public law. If the service will also be offered to consumers, these terms and the ordering process require additional consumer-law provisions before launch.
2. Registration and account information
Registration information must be complete and accurate. The customer must keep contact, application and registered-origin information current.
We may reject registrations where the intended use is unlawful, creates unreasonable security or operational risks, or conflicts with available plan conditions.
3. API keys
API keys identify the registered client. The customer must:
- Protect keys against unauthorized access
- Use separate keys where required for different applications or environments
- Avoid publishing server-side or privileged keys
- Notify us promptly of suspected compromise
- Revoke or rotate exposed keys
Keys may not be sold, transferred or shared with unrelated third parties without written permission.
4. Licence and permitted use
For the duration of the applicable plan, we grant the customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable right to access the API and use returned data within the registered application for the agreed purpose.
The customer may cache and process API responses only as required for the registered application and in accordance with the plan, documentation and applicable law.
No ownership in the API, documentation, database structure, software or underlying intellectual property is transferred.
5. Prohibited use
The customer must not:
- Circumvent authentication, scopes, rate limits or security controls
- Probe or exploit vulnerabilities without prior written authorization
- Resell raw API access or substantially reproduce the service without agreement
- Use the service for unlawful, deceptive or discriminatory purposes
- Interfere with service availability or other clients
- Remove source, rights or attribution notices where they are required
- Use returned information to misrepresent a club's current rules, prices or availability
6. Data quality and third-party information
Golf club information is collected and normalized from available sources. Completeness, accuracy and freshness can vary. Access rules, prices, facilities and course conditions may change without notice.
The API supports discovery and integration but does not replace confirmation with the relevant golf club for bookings, travel or time-sensitive playing conditions.
The customer is responsible for how data is presented and for correcting or removing locally cached data when notified of a material issue.
7. Plans, fees and taxes
The selected order or individual agreement defines the plan, fees, billing interval, limits and included services. Prices are exclusive of statutory VAT unless expressly stated otherwise.
Invoices are due within the agreed payment period. We may suspend paid services after a reasonable warning if undisputed amounts remain overdue.
8. Rate limits and technical changes
The customer must comply with documented rate limits and reasonable technical safeguards. Limits may be applied per key, client, endpoint or time window.
We may make compatible changes, add optional fields and improve the service without prior approval. Breaking changes to a stable public version will be introduced through versioning or appropriate migration notice where reasonably possible.
9. Availability and maintenance
Unless a separate service level agreement applies, no specific uninterrupted availability is guaranteed. Maintenance, security incidents, upstream failures and force majeure may temporarily affect the service.
We may perform urgent maintenance without advance notice. Planned material interruptions will be communicated where reasonably possible.
10. Customer applications and data protection
The customer is responsible for its application, end-user notices, permissions and compliance with data protection, consumer, competition and intellectual-property law.
The public golf-data API is not intended for submitting sensitive personal data. The customer must not send such data unless a specific endpoint and written agreement expressly permit it.
11. Confidentiality
Each party must protect non-public commercial, technical and security information received from the other party and use it only for the contractual purpose. This obligation does not apply to information that is public without breach, independently developed or lawfully received from another source.
12. Suspension and termination
We may suspend a key where necessary to address security threats, unlawful use, material contract breaches, non-payment or risks to service stability.
Either party may terminate an open-ended plan in accordance with the agreed notice period. The right to terminate for good cause remains unaffected.
After termination, the customer must stop using the API and delete keys. Rights to retain previously received data depend on the applicable order, legal retention duties and licence terms.
13. Liability
We are liable without limitation for intent, gross negligence, injury to life, body or health, fraudulently concealed defects, assumed guarantees and liability required by law.
For slight negligence, we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation whose fulfilment enables proper performance and on which the customer may regularly rely. In that case, liability is limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract.
Liability limitations also apply to our legal representatives and agents. Mandatory statutory liability remains unaffected.
14. Changes to these terms
Material changes will be communicated in an appropriate form. Changes requiring customer consent become effective only in accordance with applicable law and the agreed contractual procedure.
15. Governing law and venue
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
If the customer is a merchant, legal entity under public law or special fund under public law, the exclusive venue is %%CITY%%. Mandatory statutory venues remain unaffected.
