We may terminate your

Governing Law:
You agree that: (i)
the Service shall be deemed solely based in Missouri; and (ii) the Service
shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction
over Golfswapper, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than Missouri.
This Agreement shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State
of Missouri. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state court
located in Platte County, Missouri or the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Missouri for any actions for which we retain the right to seek
injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to
prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of
a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual
property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision
below.
Arbitration:
In the unlikely event
that Golfswapper has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after
attempting to do so informally, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or
controversy (excluding any Golfswapper claims for injunctive or other equitable
relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or
the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by
binding arbitration in the county of Platte. The award rendered by the
arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorney's fees and
reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing Golfswapper
from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary
to protect any of Golfswapper’s proprietary interests. All claims must be
brought in the party’s individual capacity, and not as a class member in any
purported class or representative proceeding. You agree that, by
entering into this agreement, you and Golfswapper are each waiving the right to
a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
Entire
Agreement/Severability:
This Agreement,
together with all amendments, all documents referenced in this Agreement, and
any other legal notices and agreements published by Golfswapper via the
Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Golfswapper
concerning the Service. If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any
provision of this Agreement invalid, the invalidity of such provision shall not
affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall
remain in full force and effect.
No Waiver:
No waiver of any term
of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term
or any other term, and Quiver’s failure to assert any right or provision under
this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Golfswapper collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Golfswapper's purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Golfswapper’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Golfswapper may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Golfswapper also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on WordPress.com blogs. Golfswapper only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that blog commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog where the comment was left.
Use of personal details (purpose of register)
Personal details are collected to make communication and use of service possible. Details can be used for communication between service providers and users and also for direct communication between users. Some personal details are visible on the profile page of the user, but those details are voluntary (except name).
The handling of personal details is not outsourced, but the register data is stored on a server that is rented from a third party company.
Information content of the register
The following information may be stored in the register:
- Personal details: Name, email address, phone number, street address
- Account details: username, password (stored in encrypted format)
- The description text that the user may write about him/herself
- The offers and requests the user has posted to the service
- The given and received feedback and badges
- Statistical data about service usage, e.g. number times the user has logged in
Regular sources of information
Personal details are given by the user on registration to the service or when using it later.
Regular handovers of the information
The information may be handed over for research purposes as described in the Terms of use that the user accepts before starting to use the service. The researchers may not publish any research results so that identifying information would be revealed or that any specific user could be detected.
Information considering users of a single GolfSwapper community may be handed over to the client who has founded that community or to the community administrators appointed by that client.
Register protection principles
The information is stored on computers. The access to the information is restricted with passwords and physical access to the computers is restricted by the server hosting company.
