1. Agreement to these Terms
Welcome to FORE Seasons Golf Studio. These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and FORE Seasons Golf Studio, LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company ("FORE Seasons," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your use of our website at foreseasonsgolfstudio.com (the "Website"), the reservation and membership services we offer through it, and, once we open, your use of our golf simulator studio and the application we use to manage bookings and access (together, the "Services").
By using the Website, placing a reservation, purchasing a membership, or using our facility, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
Please also read our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle your information and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
2. Who we are
FORE Seasons Golf Studio is an indoor golf simulator studio being developed in Forked River, Ocean County, New Jersey, and is owned and operated by Joseph M. Martin Jr. We are currently in a pre-launch phase and expect to open in early 2027. Some parts of these Terms describe Services that are not yet available and will apply once the studio opens.
You can reach us any time at info@foreseasonsgolfstudio.com.
3. What these Terms cover, and other agreements
These Terms cover your general relationship with us. Some Services are governed by additional, more specific agreements that you will review and accept at the appropriate time. Where an additional agreement applies, it controls over these Terms for that Service if there is any conflict. Those agreements include:
- the Reservation Terms that apply when you place a $5 Founding Member queue reservation (summarized in Section 5);
- the FORE Seasons Membership Agreement, which governs the purchase, billing, renewal, and cancellation of a membership; and
- the FORE Seasons Liability Waiver and Release, which governs your use of the facility and equipment.
If you do not yet have a copy of any of these agreements, you can request one at info@foreseasonsgolfstudio.com.
4. Who may use the Services
You must be at least 18 years old to place a reservation, purchase a membership, make a payment, or enter into any agreement with us. By using those Services, you confirm that you are at least 18 and able to enter into a binding contract.
A person under 18 may use the facility only as permitted by our facility rules and the Membership Agreement, and only under the supervision arrangements described in Section 8. A parent or legal guardian who allows a minor to use the facility is responsible for that minor and for ensuring the required waiver is signed on the minor's behalf.
5. The $5 Founding Member queue reservation
Before we open, you can place a refundable $5 reservation that holds your place in line for our Founding Member sale. The full Reservation Terms are presented on the reservation page of the Website. In summary:
- What it is. Your $5 reservation holds a position, by the time and date you reserve, in the notification queue for the Founding Member sale. That sale is expected to open approximately 90 days before we open in early 2027.
- What it is not. The reservation does not purchase a Founding membership, does not guarantee that a Founding slot will be available to you, and does not lock in any particular price. Founding slots are limited in number and offered in queue order, and demand may exceed supply.
- Refunds. Your $5 is fully refundable. We will refund it if you request a refund by email before the Founding sale opens, if you decline a Founding offer when your position is reached, if your position is past the Founding cap when the sale closes, or if we do not open for member service by the outside date of June 30, 2028. Refunds are returned to your original payment method, normally within seven business days.
- Credit. If you accept a Founding offer, your $5 will be credited toward your first month of dues.
- Notice. We will give you at least seven days' email notice before the Founding sale opens. Please keep a current email address on file; a reservation tied to an undeliverable email address may be refunded and removed from the queue.
- No transfer. Reservations are personal to you and may not be transferred or sold.
Placing a reservation does not create a membership and does not commit you to join. All membership terms are set by the Membership Agreement at the time you join, not by these Terms or the Reservation Terms.
6. Memberships, billing, and taxes
When the studio opens, memberships will be sold under the FORE Seasons Membership Agreement. That agreement is the controlling document for membership pricing, included hours, contract length, automatic renewal, cancellation, early-termination charges, and any behavioral or service fees. Current membership tiers and prices are shown on the Website and stated in full in the Membership Agreement. Please read the Membership Agreement carefully before you join.
A few points apply to all paid Services:
- Automatic renewal. Memberships are sold as fixed-term agreements that renew automatically unless cancelled within the window described in the Membership Agreement. Before you join, the Membership Agreement will disclose the renewal terms and how to cancel.
- Your right to cancel a new membership. New Jersey law gives you the right to cancel a new health-club membership contract for any reason before midnight of the third operating day after you receive your copy of the contract, with a refund as provided by law. This statutory right is in addition to any cancellation rights described in the Membership Agreement.
- How we bill. Recurring monthly dues are charged by automatic bank debit (Automated Clearing House, or "ACH"). One-time charges, such as guest fees, events, or tournaments, may be charged to a card on file or by bank debit. We use a third-party payment processor (see Section 11); we do not store your full card or bank-account numbers ourselves.
- Disputes and reversals. Before we draft a disputed fee, we provide a short dispute window, as described in the Membership Agreement, so you can raise a question first.
- Taxes. Prices do not include tax unless stated. We collect New Jersey sales tax (currently 6.625%) on taxable Services as required by law.
7. Facility access and the 24/7 unmanned model
Our studio is designed to operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without on-site staff during normal member hours. Members book a bay through our application, and the door unlocks electronically for the reserved session. The following rules apply once the facility is open:
- Your access credentials and bookings are personal to you. Do not share them, prop open or disable any door, or let anyone enter who is not part of your booked session and covered by a current waiver.
- You are responsible for everyone you admit to the facility during your session, including guests, and for their conduct and safety.
- The facility is monitored by video-only security cameras for safety, security, and service purposes, as described in our Privacy Policy. The studio does not record audio.
- If you encounter an emergency, a safety hazard, equipment damage, or a maintenance issue, contact us promptly using the methods we provide and follow any posted emergency instructions.
We may suspend or limit access where needed to protect members, staff, the public, or the facility, or to perform maintenance.
8. Facility rules and conduct
To keep the studio safe, clean, and enjoyable for everyone, you agree to follow these rules and any additional rules we post or include in the Membership Agreement:
- No alcohol. Alcohol is not permitted on the premises. The studio is a dry facility.
- Food and drink. Food is allowed only in the lobby or common area, not in the simulator bays. Beverages must be in spill-proof containers.
- Guests. Guests must be at least 12 years old, and no more than three guests are allowed per session. A child under 12 may be present only when supervised by an accompanying adult, as further described in the Membership Agreement and facility rules.
- Care of the space and equipment. Use the bays, simulators, screens, turf, and other equipment only as intended, and leave the bay in the condition you found it. Charges for damage or for leaving a bay in poor condition are described in the Membership Agreement.
- Respectful, lawful use. Do not engage in unsafe, illegal, threatening, or disruptive behavior, and do not use the facility for any purpose other than its intended recreational use.
We may refuse, suspend, or terminate access for conduct that violates these rules or that we reasonably believe threatens safety, the facility, or other members.
9. Assumption of risk; Liability Waiver
Golf, including indoor simulator golf, is a physical activity that involves swinging clubs and striking balls at speed and carries an inherent risk of injury to you and others and of damage to property. You understand and voluntarily accept these risks when you use the facility.
Before using the facility, you (and any guest, and the parent or guardian of any minor) will be required to read and sign the FORE Seasons Liability Waiver and Release. That waiver governs your assumption of risk and your release of claims, and it controls over these Terms with respect to facility use. Nothing in these Terms or the waiver limits any right that cannot be limited under New Jersey law.
10. Acceptable use of the Website
You agree to use the Website only for lawful purposes and not to:
- interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Website, our systems, or other users' data;
- copy, scrape, harvest, or collect information from the Website by automated means without our written permission; or
- use the Website to transmit anything unlawful, harmful, or infringing.
11. Payments and third-party services
We use trusted third parties to provide parts of the Services, including Stripe for payment processing and other providers for hosting, scheduling, and communications. When you make a payment, you also agree to the payment processor's terms, and your payment information is handled under that processor's privacy practices. We are not responsible for the acts, content, or policies of third-party services, and your use of them is at your own risk. Links from the Website to other sites are provided for convenience and are not an endorsement.
12. Intellectual property
The FORE Seasons Golf Studio name and logo are trademarks of FORE Seasons Golf Studio, LLC. The Website and its content — including text, graphics, layout, and design — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, revocable license to view and use the Website for its intended purpose. You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
13. Disclaimers
The Services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
Because we are in a pre-launch phase, information on the Website about the studio — including the opening date, location, equipment, pricing, and features — is subject to change and is not a guarantee. Our opening date is a target, not a promise. If we do not open as planned, your sole remedy for a $5 reservation is the refund described in Section 5.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, FORE Seasons and its owner will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or data, arising out of or relating to your use of the Website or these Terms. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Website or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim or one hundred dollars. This section does not limit liability that cannot be limited under New Jersey law, and it does not apply to your use of the facility, which is governed by the Liability Waiver.
15. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FORE Seasons and its owner from any claims, losses, and reasonable expenses arising out of your misuse of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or the rights of another person.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and post the revised Terms on the Website. Material changes will take effect when posted, and your continued use of the Services after that means you accept the updated Terms. Please review these Terms periodically.
17. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Website at any time. We may suspend or end your access to the Website or other Services if you violate these Terms or any applicable agreement, or to protect the Services, other users, or the public. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law — will survive.
18. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute relating to these Terms or the Website that is not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in or serving Ocean County, New Jersey, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section waives any consumer right or remedy available to you under New Jersey law.
Before filing any claim, please contact us at info@foreseasonsgolfstudio.com so we can try to resolve the matter directly.
19. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any agreement referenced in Section 3, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Website. If any provision is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
