Terms of Service
Company provides a platform through the Website for arranging and facilitating the shipment of golf clubs and other sports equipment (“Sporting Goods”), which may be provided through one or more third-party companies (including golf course personnel) (collectively, “3PL Providers”) to transport those Sporting Goods (the “Services”). The Services are subject to any terms imposed by Company's subcontractors and all 3PL Providers.
User understands and agrees that the 3PL Providers may be responsible for or otherwise involved in delivering the Sporting Goods to Company or another 3PL Provider, and/or receiving the Sporting Goods at the shipping destination. User uses the Services at User's sole risk. In the event any Sporting Goods are lost or damaged during transit, or in the event of any delay or any other error in shipment (any of the foregoing, a “Shipment Failure”), User may request Company provide reasonable assistance in submitting claims or complaints to the 3PL Provider; provided, however, that Company is not obligated to provide any compensation or damages for any Shipment Failure.
Upon receipt of timely and properly submitted information sufficient to submit a complaint to a 3PL Provider, Company may share that information with such 3PL Provider for the purposes of proceeding with the complaint. User understands and acknowledges that Company and/or its third-party business partners may contact User regarding the complaint, and that neither Company nor any 3PL Provider shall have any obligation to proceed with any complaint unless User provides reasonable assistance and information necessary to proceed with such complaint. Company and/or its third-party business partners may conduct a reasonable investigation into the complaint, but in no event is Company required or obligated to investigate any claims pertaining to any Shipment Failure. User acknowledges and agrees that User's request for assistance from Company, and/or any reasonable investigation into User's complaint, does not entitle User to any action or recourse by Company, and that a commercially reasonable investigation is User's sole and exclusive remedy.
Limits on Liability
Company, its respective affiliates and subsidiaries, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, shareholders, members, managers, successors, agents, and relevant third parties, including, without limitation, advertisers, distribution partners, referral partners, service providers, licensors, licensees, consultants, and contractors (collectively, the “Global Sticks Parties”) will not be liable under or in connection with these Terms for:
- any loss of or damage to any Sporting Goods or any damages caused by a delay in the shipping of Sporting Goods, to the extent such loss, damage, or delay is attributable to a third party that: (a) provides shipping and/or transport services for Sporting Goods; (b) receives shipment of the Sporting Goods from Company or its shipping provider; and/or (c) provides, or is responsible for providing, the Sporting Goods to Ship Sticks or its shipping provider for shipment;
- any loss of, or damage to, any personal items left in a travel case, golf bag or box prior to shipping, including, without limitation, jewelry, radar detectors, glasses, mobile phones, or portable media players;
- your shipment, or attempted shipment, of any Prohibited Items (as defined herein);
- loss or damage to Sporting Goods prior to pick-up by Company or its shipping provider or after delivery by Company or its shipping provider;
- the content of any website not controlled, owned, or operated by Company that is accessed from or linked to the Website;

Because some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. User's sole and exclusive remedy for any dissatisfaction with all or any portion of the Website or the Services is to discontinue using the Website and the Services.
Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Global Sticks Parties' total aggregate liability to any User, including any liability for any damage or loss of any package or Sporting Goods, exceed the lesser of the actual value of any items lost or damaged or $500. In the event that any monies are paid by the Global Sticks Parties to any User, such payment shall be such user's sole and exclusive remedy.
Packaging, Locking, Insuring, and Secure Delivery of Sporting Goods
User is solely responsible for the packaging, locking, insuring, and securing delivery of any Sporting Goods User deposits with Company or any 3PL Provider, or otherwise ships using the Services. User must lock any package User intends to ship using the Services (the “Package”) accordingly prior to pickup. Shipments traveling between countries may not be locked. User understands and agrees that any locked Package that is shipped internationally may be damaged or otherwise experience a Shipment Failure, and neither Company nor any 3PL Provider shall be liable for any damage, cost, or expense related to such locked Package. Additionally, User must indicate whether the Package is insured at the time User places the order for Services. Company shall have no liability for any Shipment Failure in any way arising out of or resulting from poor packaging, failure to lock, failure to acquire insurance, or failure to require signature upon delivery.
Company insures against complete loss of or against any physical damage that has occurred to a Package while in transit. Company or its 3PL Providers are not liable for damage or loss of protruding parts such as wheels, straps, pockets, handles, or other items attached to a travel case or bag. Any claims for lost or missing items will require a physical investigation.
Prohibited Items

Ship Sticks reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or hold any shipment that Ship Schools determines, in its sole or absolute discretion, violates, or may violate, these restrictions.

The Services may be cancelled and payments may be refunded as follows:

It may take up to 30 days for the refund to appear on your credit card statement. In most cases, Company will process the refund within five business days.
You may make changes to your pickup date and time, without incurring any change fees, if you notify Company at least three business days prior to the original scheduled pickup time. Changes requested between three business days and 24 hours prior to the original scheduled pickup time may be assessed a $25 administrative fee in addition to any difference in the shipping rate. Changes made within 24 hours of the original scheduled pickup time may be assessed an administrative fee of greater than $25 in addition to any difference in the shipping rate.
Online Payments; Rates and Rate Adjustments
User may pay for certain services through the Website, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section (“Payment”). By making a Payment, User affirms that: (1) User is at least 18 years of age or of sufficient legal age to form a binding contract with Company; (2) User is permitted to access or use the Website and complete the Payment; and (3) User accepts and agrees to be bound by these Terms.
Rates generated on the Website or by a Company representative are based upon the information provided at the time of inquiry and are subject to change at any time. All prices, discounts, and promotions posted on the Website are subject to change without notice. Company strives to display accurate price information, however it may, on occasion, make inadvertent typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions related to pricing and availability. Company reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions at any time and to cancel any Payments arising from such occurrences.
Final rates are based upon actual weights and dimensions of each shipment shipped and verified by the 3PL Provider. A shipment's dimensions are calculated by the widest point of each side. If the actual weight or dimensions of the shipment exceeds the maximum allowed for the selected item, rates will be adjusted to reflect the next largest category and a $35 adjustment fee will be incurred. If a larger category does not exist, additional charges will be incurred for the weight or dimension exceeding maximum allowed in the largest category. Specifically, (i) if your shipment exceeds 60 inches in length; 130 inches in length plus girth (where girth is 2x width plus 2x height); or, 70 lbs. based on the item's actual weight, rounded up to the nearest pound, then a $100 surcharge plus a $35 administrative fee will apply for such item; and (ii) if your shipment exceeds 96 inches in length; 165 inches in length plus girth (where girth is 2x width plus 2x height); or, 90 lbs. based on the item's actual weight, rounded up to the nearest pound, then a $1,200 surcharge plus a $35 administrative fee will apply for such item. In addition, if your shipment exceeds; (a) 96 inches in length, (b) 165 inches in length plus girth (where girth is 2x width plus 2x height), or (c) 90 lbs. (based on the greater of the item's actual weight, rounded up to the nearest pound, or its dimensional weight), then Company may reject or cancel your shipment. User is responsible for all handling fees charged by a pickup or delivery location, such as a hotel, resort, golf facility, or carrier store. All charges and fees will be charged to the credit card that was used to process the original shipment.
User acknowledges and agrees that the final charges applicable to the shipment may not be known by, or charged to User, until Company receives a final invoice from the 3PL Provider (which in some cases may be several weeks following the date of shipment). Company reserves the right to charge the credit card or other form of payment we have on file upon Company's receipt of the final invoice from the 3PL Provider, without obtaining additional authorization from User.
Terms of Payment are within Company's sole discretion. Payments are made through a third party service provider and are subject to the terms and conditions and privacy policy of such provider. User represents and warrants that: (1) User's credit card information is true, correct, and complete; (2) User is duly authorized to use such credit card for the Payment; (3) charges incurred by User will be honored by User's credit card company; and (4) User will pay charges incurred by User at the posted prices, including all applicable taxes, if any, regardless of the amount quoted at the time of User's order. In the event that Company must pursue legal action in order to collect on balances due, User agrees to reimburse Company for all expenses incurred to recover any and all sums due, including but not limited to all attorney's fees and other expenses.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE TO USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ENHANCED DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR REVENUES, OR DIMINUTION IN VALUE, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO, AND/OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH THE WEBSITE: (A) WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; (B) WHETHER COMPANY WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (C) REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED. COMPANY'S SOLE AND ENTIRE MAXIMUM LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASES MADE THROUGH THE WEBSITE, AND USER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNT PAID BY USER FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES USER HAS ORDERED THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
