Terms of Use

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply when you use floriogolf.org (“the website”). By using the website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the website.

The website is operated by Florio Golf Ltd. (“Florio”, “we”, “us”, “our”), a company registered in England and Wales.

Company number: 16546881
Registered office: 24 Cherry Orchard, Chestfield, Whitstable, England, CT5 3NH

1. What Florio provides

The website provides information about Florio, our work, our programmes, our podcast, articles, newsletter sign-ups, contact forms, Collective applications, club programme enquiries, and signposting to support services.

The website does not currently provide user accounts, paid subscriptions, online purchases, donations, fundraising tools, or an API. If we add any of those later, extra terms may apply before you use them.

Some Florio services, such as club programmes, training, events, partnerships, or external platforms, may involve practical details agreed directly with the relevant people, clubs, or organisations. This may include roles, responsibilities, safeguarding arrangements, delivery dates, use of materials, and publicity.

2. Who can use the website

You may use the website if you can lawfully agree to these Terms. If you use the website on behalf of a golf club, company, school, county, governing body, sponsor, media organisation, or other organisation, you confirm that you have authority to act for that organisation.

The website is not specifically directed at children, but junior golfers may visit it. If you are under 13, you should use the website with a parent or guardian. You must be 18 or over to apply to join the Florio Collective. If you are under 18 and want to take part in an event, programme, school activity, club activity, or junior-golfer activity, an appropriate parent, guardian, club, school, or responsible adult must be involved.

3. Using the website properly

You must not use the website to:

• Break the law or encourage anyone else to break the law
• Send spam, automated submissions, or nuisance messages
• Upload, send, or introduce viruses, malware, or harmful code
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the website, servers, forms, or systems
• Scrape, crawl, copy, index, or harvest website content or data at scale
• Impersonate Florio, Florio staff, partners, clubs, or other people
• Misrepresent your connection with Florio or any Florio programme
• Use the website in a way that infringes another person's rights
• Use Florio content, branding, or materials to sell unauthorised products or services
• Interfere with the security, performance, or availability of the website

We may restrict, block, or report activity that appears unlawful, harmful, abusive, or inconsistent with these Terms.

4. Forms, enquiries, and applications

The website lets you contact Florio, apply to join the Florio Collective, enquire about the Club Partnership Programme, suggest a club, sign up for updates, and register interest in Florio activity.

When you submit a form, you agree that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge and that you have the right to share it. You must not submit information about another person unless you have a proper reason and any permission needed to do so.

We may accept, decline, ignore, or delete submissions at our discretion. We may also contact you to clarify a submission, verify details, or discuss a possible next step. Submitting a form does not create a contract, partnership, employment relationship, membership right, clinical relationship, safeguarding relationship, or obligation for Florio to provide a service.

5. Programmes, events, and club activity

Information about Florio programmes, education, events, partnerships, and club activity is provided to help people understand what Florio does and how they can get involved. Programme details may change as the work develops.

Unless we agree otherwise in writing, website descriptions do not create a binding promise that any programme, event, resource, partnership, training, place, or outcome will be available. Where Florio works with a club or organisation, the practical details should be agreed separately, including roles, responsibilities, safeguarding arrangements, delivery dates, use of materials, and any reporting or publicity.

6. Mental health and safeguarding

Florio is not a clinical service. We do not provide diagnosis, counselling, therapy, emergency support, medical treatment, or medical advice through the website. Content on the website is for general information, education, mental fitness, and signposting only.

Do not rely on the website as a substitute for advice from a qualified health professional. If you are worried about your mental health, speak to a GP, NHS 111, a qualified health professional, or another appropriate support service. If there is an immediate risk to life or safety, call 999 or go to A&E.

If you send us information that suggests a safeguarding or immediate safety concern, we may use or share that information where we reasonably believe it is necessary to protect someone or comply with the law. Our Privacy Policy explains more about how we handle personal data.

7. Florio content and intellectual property

All content on the website, including text, images, graphics, layouts, articles, resources, videos, audio, logos, names, trade marks, and the Florio brand mark, is owned by or licensed to Florio Golf Ltd. and is protected by copyright, trade mark, database right, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view the website, share links to Florio pages, quote short extracts with clear attribution, and print or download pages for personal, internal club, educational, or non-commercial reference use. You must not copy, adapt, publish, sell, licence, rebrand, scrape, or commercially exploit Florio content without our prior written permission.

Clubs, partners, media organisations, Collective members, event organisers, sponsors, and other people or organisations must not use the Florio name, logo, brand mark, programme names, or materials in a way that suggests endorsement, partnership, sponsorship, approval, or official status unless we have agreed that in writing.

8. Content you send to us

You may send us content through forms, emails, applications, social links, enquiries, event discussions, or other communications. You keep any rights you already have in that content.

By sending content to Florio, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to read, store, copy, use, and share it internally where reasonably necessary to review your submission, respond to you, consider an application, operate Florio activity, protect safety, comply with law, or administer the website.

We will not publish your name, story, image, testimonial, quote, or social content as a Florio case study, campaign asset, press quote, or endorsement unless we have your consent or another clear written agreement with you.

You must not send content that is unlawful, defamatory, threatening, abusive, invasive of privacy, infringing, misleading, or harmful. We may delete or ignore content that we believe creates legal, safety, safeguarding, or operational risk.

9. External links and third-party services

The website links to third-party websites and services, including support organisations, podcast platforms, social platforms, content platforms, and external Florio-related platforms. We do not control those third-party services and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, terms, privacy practices, or security.

A link does not mean that Florio endorses every part of the third-party website or accepts responsibility for it. You should read the relevant third-party terms and privacy notices before using those services.

10. Accuracy, availability, and changes

We take reasonable care with website content, but we do not guarantee that everything on the website will always be complete, accurate, current, secure, uninterrupted, or error-free. We may update, remove, suspend, or change website content, features, pages, forms, programmes, events, or resources at any time.

We aim to keep the website available, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The website may be unavailable due to maintenance, technical issues, security incidents, provider outages, internet failures, legal requirements, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

11. Liability

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, breach of your statutory rights where they cannot be excluded, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales. Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Subject to the paragraph above, and as far as the law allows, the website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We are not liable for losses arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website where those losses are not reasonably foreseeable, are caused by you, arise from third-party services, or arise from events outside our reasonable control.

If you use the website for business, club, organisational, partnership, sponsorship, or professional purposes, we are not liable for business or organisational losses such as loss of profit, revenue, goodwill, data, opportunity, or reputation.

Website content is general information. It is not professional, clinical, legal, financial, or safeguarding advice. You are responsible for deciding whether it is appropriate for your situation and for seeking professional advice where needed.

12. Privacy and cookies

Your use of the website is also governed by our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. These explain what personal data we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, your rights under UK data protection law, and how analytics cookies work.

13. If things go wrong

If you have a concern about the website or these Terms, please email us first at danny@floriogolf.org so we can try to resolve it informally.

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales will have jurisdiction over disputes relating to these Terms or your use of the website, except where consumer law gives you the right to bring proceedings somewhere else.

14. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top of this page shows the current version. If we make a material change, we will take reasonable steps to draw it to your attention, such as by adding a website notice or using another appropriate communication channel.

If you continue using the website after updated Terms take effect, you agree to the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you should stop using the website.

15. General terms

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, form the agreement between you and Florio for use of the website. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will continue to apply. If we do not enforce a right immediately, that does not mean we give it up.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms to someone else without our written permission. We may transfer our rights or obligations if Florio is reorganised, merged, transferred, or if another organisation takes over operation of the website, provided this does not reduce your legal rights.

These Terms do not create a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, agency relationship, clinical relationship, or safeguarding relationship between you and Florio.
