Terms of Service

Golf Unlocked · Last updated July 30, 2026

The short version. Golf Unlocked measures your golf swing from video and suggests drills. The measurements are estimates from a phone camera, not instruments, and they will sometimes be wrong. The drills are general golf-practice suggestions, not medical, physical-therapy, or personal-coaching advice. Golf is a physical activity and you swing at your own risk. You keep ownership of your videos; we don’t train our models on them. Don’t upload video of people who haven’t agreed to be recorded.

AGREEMENT TO OUR LEGAL TERMS

We are Doty Studio LLC, doing business as Golf Unlocked (“Company,” “Golf Unlocked,” “we,” “us,” “our”), a limited liability company registered in California, United States at 2108 N St, Suite N, Sacramento, CA 95816.

We operate the Golf Unlocked mobile application, together with any related products, websites, and services that refer or link to these legal terms (the “Legal Terms”) (collectively, the “Services”).

Golf Unlocked provides a consumer golf swing–analysis application. You record or upload a video of your golf swing, and the Services use computer vision and machine learning to estimate body position, detect swing events, track the club, and compute measurements such as tempo, posture angles, head movement, and estimated clubhead speed (collectively, the “Output”). The Services then flag likely swing issues and suggest practice drills. The Services are a training aid for recreational golfers. They are not a substitute for instruction from a qualified golf professional, and they are not medical, physical-therapy, athletic-training, or fitness-prescription advice.

You can contact us by phone at +1 (925) 369-9469, by email at team@yanno.ai, or by mail at 2108 N St, Suite N, Sacramento, CA 95816, United States.

These Legal Terms constitute a legally binding agreement made between you, whether personally or on behalf of an entity (“you”), and Doty Studio LLC, concerning your access to and use of the Services. By accessing or using the Services, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by all of these Legal Terms. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, THEN YOU ARE EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED FROM USING THE SERVICES AND YOU MUST DISCONTINUE USE IMMEDIATELY.

We will provide notice of material changes to these Legal Terms. Modified terms become effective upon posting or upon notifying you by email. By continuing to use the Services after the effective date of any changes, you agree to be bound by the modified terms.

The Services are intended for users who are at least 13 years old. If you are under 18, you may use the Services only with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to be bound by these Legal Terms on your behalf. Persons under the age of 13 are not permitted to use or register for the Services.

1. OUR SERVICES

The information provided when using the Services is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation, or which would subject us to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Those who access the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws.

The Services are not tailored to comply with industry-specific regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Services are not a medical device, are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or injury, and have not been evaluated by any health regulator. Do not use the Services in any way that would subject us to such regulation.

2. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Our intellectual property

We own or license all intellectual property rights in the Services, including all source code, databases, functionality, software, designs, models and model weights, audio, video, text, photographs, and graphics (the “Content”), as well as the trademarks, service marks, and logos contained therein (the “Marks”), including the names “Golf Unlocked” and “Doty Studio.”

The Content and Marks are protected by copyright and trademark laws and are provided “AS IS” for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Your use of our Services

Subject to your compliance with these Legal Terms, we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your own personal, non-commercial golf practice.

Except as set out here, no part of the Services and no Content or Marks may be copied, reproduced, aggregated, republished, uploaded, posted, publicly displayed, encoded, translated, transmitted, distributed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our express prior written permission. Requests: team@yanno.ai.

We reserve all rights not expressly granted to you. Any breach of this section constitutes a material breach of these Legal Terms and your right to use the Services terminates immediately.

Your submissions

By sending us any question, comment, suggestion, idea, or feedback about the Services (“Submissions”), you agree we may use and share that feedback for any purpose without compensation or acknowledgment to you. Submissions are not confidential. This section applies to feedback about the product — it does not apply to your swing videos or analysis results, which are governed by Section 6.

3. USER REPRESENTATIONS

By using the Services, you represent and warrant that: (1) all registration information you submit is true, accurate, current, and complete; (2) you will maintain the accuracy of such information; (3) you have the legal capacity to agree to these Legal Terms, and if you are under 18 your parent or legal guardian has agreed on your behalf; (4) you are at least 13 years old; (5) you will not access the Services through automated or non-human means; (6) you will not use the Services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose; and (7) your use of the Services will not violate any applicable law or regulation.

If you provide information that is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate your account and refuse any current or future use of the Services.

4. USER REGISTRATION

You must register to use the Services. You agree to keep your password confidential and are responsible for all use of your account. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may remove, reclaim, or change a username you select if we determine, in our sole discretion, that it is inappropriate or objectionable.

5. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES

You may not access or use the Services for any purpose other than that for which we make them available. As a user of the Services, you agree not to:

6. YOUR CONTENT, OWNERSHIP, AND OUR LICENSE

Your Content means the swing videos you submit, the tags and notes you add, and the analysis results and overlay clips generated from them.

You own Your Content. As between you and us, you retain all rights, title, and interest in and to Your Content. We claim no ownership of it.

Our license is limited to running the Service for you. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access, use, copy, store, transmit, process, and create derived measurements and overlay renderings from Your Content, solely for the purposes of: (a) providing, operating, maintaining, and securing the Services for you; (b) providing support you request; and (c) complying with legal obligations. This license terminates when you delete the relevant content or your account, except for copies retained in routine backups until they expire.

We do not train our models on Your Content. Your swing videos, your body-motion data, your overlay clips, and your measurements are not used to train, fine-tune, or evaluate our machine learning models. Your raw video is deleted immediately after processing, so it is not technically available for training. If we ever want to change this, we will ask for your opt-in consent first — we will not do it on an opt-out basis.

Output. You may use the Output generated from Your Content for any lawful personal purpose. We retain all rights in the Services, the underlying models, and all improvements to them.

Aggregate operational data. We may generate and use aggregated, de-identified statistics about how the Services perform (for example, average processing time or failure rates) that do not identify you and are not derived from the substance of your swing. We own such aggregated data.

7. OUTPUT, ACCURACY, AND YOUR VERIFICATION OBLIGATIONS

7.1 Nature of Output. The Output is produced by automated computer-vision and machine-learning systems operating on ordinary consumer video. It is an estimate, not a measurement taken by a calibrated instrument.

7.2 No guarantee of accuracy. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE OUTPUT MAY BE INCOMPLETE, INACCURATE, OR ERRONEOUS. We make no representation, warranty, or guarantee that the Output is accurate, complete, error-free, or suitable for any particular purpose. Accuracy depends heavily on factors within your control, including camera angle, distance, frame rate, lighting, whether your whole body and club remain in frame, and whether the camera is stationary.

7.3 Not instruction, and not a substitute for a coach. The Services are a practice aid. They are not a substitute for instruction from a qualified golf professional, who can observe you in person and account for your body, your equipment, and your goals.

7.4 Not medical or health advice. The Output and the drills are not medical advice, physical-therapy advice, injury diagnosis, rehabilitation guidance, or fitness prescription. Nothing in the Services should be relied upon to diagnose, treat, or manage any injury or medical condition.

7.5 Variability. Output may vary between runs, between versions of the Services, and between videos of the same swing taken from different angles or at different frame rates. We do not guarantee consistency of Output over time, and measurements produced by different versions may not be directly comparable.

7.6 No warranty of detection. We do not warrant that the Services will detect any specific swing event, fault, or measurement, or that detections will be free of false positives or false negatives.

8. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, INJURY RISK, AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK

Read this section carefully. Golf involves swinging a club at speed, and the drills suggested by the Services involve physical movement.

8.1 Consult a professional first. Consult a physician or qualified healthcare provider before beginning or changing any physical activity program, particularly if you have any injury, medical condition, or physical limitation, are pregnant, or have not been physically active recently.

8.2 Assumption of risk. You understand that golf and the drills suggested by the Services carry an inherent risk of physical injury, including muscle strain, joint injury, back injury, and injury from contact with a club or ball. You voluntarily assume all such risks. You are solely responsible for exercising judgment about which movements are appropriate for your body and your ability.

8.3 Stop if it hurts. Discontinue any drill or movement immediately if you experience pain, dizziness, discomfort, or shortness of breath, and seek medical attention if appropriate. Do not attempt to work through a movement the Services suggest if doing so causes pain.

8.4 Practice safely and lawfully. You are responsible for swinging only where it is safe and permitted to do so, ensuring clear space around you and that no person, animal, or property is within range, and complying with the rules of any facility you use. Never swing a club indoors or in a confined space without adequate clearance.

8.5 Filming safely. Set up your camera and any tripod where it will not be struck by a club or ball and will not create a hazard for you or others. Do not position a phone within your swing path or ball flight.

8.6 Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release and hold us harmless from any claim arising from physical injury, property damage, or other loss resulting from your golf practice, your performance of any drill, or your use of the Output — except to the extent caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct, or where such a release is not permitted by applicable law.

9. THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES AND CONTENT

The Services link to third-party content, including instructional videos hosted on YouTube that demonstrate practice drills. Such third-party websites and content are not created, investigated, monitored, endorsed, or verified by us for accuracy, appropriateness, or safety. We do not control their availability and they may change or be removed at any time.

If you follow a link out of the Services, these Legal Terms no longer govern, and you should review the terms and privacy policies of the destination — including those of YouTube and Google. Any instruction, claim, or advice in third-party content is that of its creator, not ours. We are not responsible for any loss or injury resulting from third-party content, and you use it at your own risk.

10. SERVICES MANAGEMENT

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or these Legal Terms; (3) refuse, restrict access to, limit the availability of, or disable any of your content; (4) remove or disable files that are excessive in size or burdensome to our systems; and (5) otherwise manage the Services to protect our rights and property and to facilitate their proper functioning, including by applying usage quotas.

11. PRIVACY POLICY

We care about data privacy and security. Please review our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Legal Terms. By using the Services, you agree to be bound by it. The Services are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from another region with laws governing personal data collection that differ from those of the United States, then through your continued use you are transferring your data to the United States and expressly consent to have your data transferred to and processed there.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

These Legal Terms remain in full force while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR LIABILITY, TO DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING FOR BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR COVENANT CONTAINED IN THESE LEGAL TERMS OR OF ANY APPLICABLE LAW. WE MAY TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND ANY CONTENT AT ANY TIME, WITHOUT WARNING, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION.

You may terminate at any time by deleting your account in the App. If we terminate or suspend your account, you are prohibited from registering a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party.

13. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time and for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. We have no obligation to update any information in the Services.

We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems, or need to perform maintenance, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. You agree that we have no liability for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance. Nothing in these Legal Terms obligates us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections or updates.

14. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal negotiations

To expedite resolution and control cost, the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (a “Dispute”) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.

Binding arbitration

If the parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Disputes seeking less than $250,000, or its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Disputes seeking $250,000 or more, in each case as in effect when arbitration is commenced. The arbitration will be conducted in Sacramento County, California, before a single neutral arbitrator, and may be conducted in person, by phone, online, or through the submission of documents. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If arbitration costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.

If a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, it shall be commenced in the state or federal courts located in Sacramento County, California, and the parties consent to jurisdiction and venue there and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded.

In no event shall any Dispute be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

Exceptions

The following are not subject to informal negotiation or binding arbitration: (a) Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, a party’s intellectual property rights; (b) Disputes related to allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; (c) any claim for injunctive relief; and (d) any claim that may be brought in small-claims court.

16. CLASS ACTION WAIVER

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. No arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to use class-action procedures; and there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

17. CORRECTIONS

There may be information in the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information at any time, without prior notice.

18. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

THE SERVICES AND ALL OUTPUT ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ALL WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES’ CONTENT OR OUTPUT AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR (1) ERRORS OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT AND MATERIALS; (2) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE OF ANY NATURE RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES; (3) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVERS OR ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION STORED THEREIN; (4) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES; (5) ANY BUGS OR VIRUSES TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY; OR (6) ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES.

We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. Beta, preview, and early-access features are provided strictly as-is and may be modified or discontinued at any time.

19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE OR OUR MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE LEGAL TERMS, THE SERVICES, OR THE OUTPUT, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WILL AT ALL TIMES BE LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO US, IF ANY, DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limitations do not apply to (a) liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (c) any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including California Civil Code Section 1668. CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES; IF THOSE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

The parties agree that these limitations are an essential element of the bargain between them and will apply notwithstanding the failure of any limited remedy of its essential purpose.

20. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our affiliates and our respective members, managers, officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party arising out of: (1) your use of the Services; (2) your breach of these Legal Terms; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties; (4) your violation of the rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights and the privacy or publicity rights of any person appearing in content you upload; or (5) any harmful act toward another user. We reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you must indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with that defense.

21. USER DATA

We maintain certain data that you transmit to the Services for the purpose of managing their performance, as described in our Privacy Policy. Overlay clips and session records are retained for a limited period (currently 90 days unless you star a swing), and your raw video is deleted immediately after processing. The Services are not a backup service. You are solely responsible for keeping your own copies of any video you wish to preserve. You agree that we have no liability to you for any loss or corruption of data, and you waive any right of action against us arising from such loss or corruption.

22. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

Using the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications and agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS. You waive any rights or requirements under any law in any jurisdiction that requires an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records.

23. APPLE APP STORE AND GOOGLE PLAY

The following applies if you obtained the App from the Apple App Store:

If you obtained the App from Google Play, these Legal Terms are between you and Doty Studio LLC only, and not with Google LLC, and your use is additionally subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.

24. CALIFORNIA USERS AND RESIDENTS

If any complaint with us is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms and any policies posted by us in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision shall not operate as a waiver. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign any or all of our rights and obligations to others at any time. We are not responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship is created between you and us. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them.
