Terms Version: 2026.1 (Effective November 12, 2026)

Terms of Use

Please read these Terms carefully before using the BirdieEngine platform as an instructor or student.

1. Platform Services

BirdieEngine provides software tools for independent golf instructors, including calendar sync, online student booking workflows, and SMS notifications. BirdieEngine is not an employer, agent, or sports facility owner. Golf instructors operate as independent business owners.

2. Student Bookings & Attendance

When a student schedules a lesson, they agree to arrive promptly at the designated golf facility. Lesson fees are paid directly between the student and instructor (via cash, check, Venmo, Zelle, or card) unless explicitly charged through native platform checkout.

3. Google Calendar Integration

Coaches grant BirdieEngine authorization to access their Google Calendar via standard OAuth protocols solely to create lesson appointments and read free/busy availability. We do not store or read the subject matter of unrelated private calendar entries.

4. SMS Communications

By providing a mobile number during booking, students consent to transactional appointment confirmations and reminders. Students may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message.
