Terms of Service

Last updated: September 25, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Second Cut app and website (the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.

1. The Service

Second Cut lets you record or import a short golf swing video and returns it with the ball flight traced, along with related features such as Swing Compare, Scorecards, Sound Lab, Live Round scoring, and a course catalog. The Service is currently offered as a private beta: features may change, break, or be added or removed, and results are not guaranteed.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country) to use the Service. If you are under 18, you represent that a parent or guardian has reviewed and agreed to these Terms.

3. Your content and the license you grant us

You keep ownership of the videos, images, scores and other content you create or upload ("Your Content"). To operate the Service, you grant Second Cut a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, process, transmit and modify Your Content solely to provide the Service to you — for example, to trace a shot and return the result. This license ends when Your Content is deleted from our systems, subject to routine backups and legal requirements.

You are responsible for Your Content. You represent that you have the rights to what you upload and that it does not infringe anyone's rights or include people who have not consented to being filmed where consent is required.

4. Acceptable use

• Don't upload content that is illegal, infringing, or that you don't have the right to submit.
• Don't misuse or disrupt the Service, attempt to access it in unauthorized ways, or overload our systems.
• Don't reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract our models or source code, except where that restriction is prohibited by law.
• Don't use the Service to build a competing product or to resell tracing capacity.

5. Subscriptions and payments

The private beta is free. If we introduce paid plans, pricing and billing terms will be shown in the app before you purchase. Subscriptions offered through the App Store are billed by Apple to your Apple ID, auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are managed and cancelled in your Apple ID settings. Any applicable free-trial terms will be disclosed at the point of purchase.

6. Intellectual property

The Service — including the app, website, models, software, and Second Cut branding — is owned by Second Cut and protected by intellectual-property laws. These Terms don't grant you any rights in our marks or technology except the limited right to use the Service as intended.

7. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties (for example, Apple's App Store and cloud infrastructure providers). Your use of those services is subject to their terms, and we're not responsible for them.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." Shot tracing is an automated estimate and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable for a given clip; do not rely on it for competitive rulings, wagering, coaching decisions with financial consequences, or any purpose requiring certified measurement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Nothing in these Terms excludes rights that cannot be excluded under applicable consumer law.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Second Cut will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of data, profits or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim or AUD 50.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Second Cut harmless from claims arising out of Your Content or your misuse of the Service or violation of these Terms.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time and delete the app. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these Terms or to protect the Service or its users. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (for example, content license limits, disclaimers, and limitation of liability) will survive.

12. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the Service evolves. We'll change the "Last updated" date and, for material changes, give more prominent notice. Continuing to use the Service after changes take effect means you accept them.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there — except where mandatory local law grants you other rights.
