Handicap System Web Edition FAQ


Trials


Q: What happens once my FREE trial is over?
A: You simply can no longer log in to work with the Handicap System. Don't worry, all your golfers and data are still there. You can resume when you decide to buy the product. We maintain data in idle accounts for one year from the date the account becomes idle.


What if I want to cancel my trial?
A: There's no obligation, no risk, no contract. Simply do nothing. Your trial automatically expires after 60 days. Remember any golfers and data you enter remain in our system for one year, in case you ever decide to resume using the Handicap System Web Edition.


Subscriptions


Q: We do not play all year long. Can I start and stop my subscription?
A: Yes, you can start and stop a subscription at anytime. We maintain your data for 1 year from the stop date...so it will still be there when you start up again. Call or email us if you need distinct start and stop dates for your service.


Q: I want to order, but I'm not sure of the exact number of golfers I'll be tracking.
A: Our tiered pricing system accommodates most groups, with some "wiggle room" for growth, without a price change. You can increase or decrease your tier at anytime.


Q: What if I add golfers during the season?
A: If you exceed the number of golfers in your price tier, you will get a prompt to contact us to adjust your subscription and allow more golfers.


Q: Is there a discount for prepaying?
A: Yes, there is a 20% discount for prepaying for 12 months of service.


Q: Our organization does not have a credit card, may we pay with a check?
A: We need a credit card for month-to-month billing, but if you know the start and stop date for your service, we can send you an invoice for your organization's return check.


Q: What if I don't like the service. Can I get a refund?
A: We want satisfied customers, so we give you 60 days to try our web edition, free! If you order and are not happy, you may unsubscribe at any time. If you have taken advantage of our pre-payment discount, we will refund the amount for the remainder of your year.
