Terms of Service

GSCaddie — Terms of Service

Last updated: 2026-04-29 Effective date: 2026-04-29

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of GSCaddie, a Windows desktop companion application and associated web dashboard ("GSCaddie," "we," "our," or "us") operated by M5 Software Solutions LLC. By installing, accessing, or using GSCaddie, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use GSCaddie.

1. What GSCaddie is

GSCaddie is an independent, third-party companion tool for users of the GSPro golf simulator software. It helps you analyze your own shot data, review rounds, surface trends across rounds, and get drills built around the patterns it finds in your game.

1.1 No affiliation with GSPro

GSCaddie is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or in any way officially connected with GS-Pro, the developers of GSPro, or any of their parent companies, subsidiaries, or affiliates. "GSPro" and any related names, marks, emblems, and images are registered trademarks of their respective owners.

GSCaddie runs entirely on your own computer and reads only files that GSPro and/or your launch monitor software write to your local disk during normal use.

1.2 Your data belongs to you

The shot and round data that GSCaddie reads is your data. It is generated by your swing, measured by your launch monitor hardware, and written to your computer's local disk. GSPro is the simulator that receives that measurement data from your launch monitor, applies its physics engine, and displays a result — but the underlying performance data (ball speed, launch angle, spin, carry distance, club used, result coordinates, score, etc.) describes your athletic performance on your equipment.

GSCaddie operates on this premise:

  • We only read data that you own — your own performance metrics, on your own machine.
  • We do not read, copy, or transmit any GSPro-authored intellectual property (course files, course graphics, course geometry, proprietary UI assets, encrypted round blobs, etc.).
  • We do not decrypt, bypass, or otherwise circumvent any protection GSPro has placed on its own content.
  • We do not interact with GSPro's servers, scrape its portal, or ingest community-uploaded course content.

If a piece of data is encrypted, locked, or otherwise protected by GSPro, we treat that as a signal GSPro considers it theirs, and we leave it alone. If a piece of data is plainly written to your disk in an unprotected form (a log line describing your shot, an unencrypted metrics row, an API payload from your launch monitor), we treat it as yours to read.

2. What GSCaddie does NOT do

To eliminate ambiguity about how GSCaddie interacts with GSPro and your launch monitor, we explicitly disclaim the following behaviors. GSCaddie does not:

  1. Modify, patch, or alter GSPro or any GSPro executable, DLL, configuration file, course file, or installation directory in any way.
  2. Decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or derive source code from GSPro, any GSPro component, any launch monitor software, or any associated binary.
  3. Decrypt any encrypted data produced or stored by GSPro, including but not limited to encrypted columns in GSPro's local database (e.g., RoundData, RoundSettings).
  4. Intercept, proxy, redirect, or man-in-the-middle any network traffic between GSPro, your launch monitor, GSPro's servers, or any third-party service.
  5. Inject code, hook APIs, or attach as a debugger to the GSPro process or any launch monitor process.
  6. Automate, simulate, script, or spoof shot input to GSPro. GSCaddie is strictly passive: it reads data after you have played each shot; it never sends data into GSPro.
  7. Collect, copy, or redistribute GSPro-authored intellectual property, including course files, course geometry, course graphics, course metadata, GSPro UI assets, or community-uploaded course content.
  8. Act as a cheat, hack, mod, or competitive-advantage tool inside GSPro. GSCaddie does not alter gameplay, physics, scoring, or results.
  9. Bypass, circumvent, or interfere with any license check, subscription check, or digital-rights mechanism of GSPro or any launch monitor vendor.
  10. Scrape GSPro's web portal, community site, or servers. GSCaddie only reads data from your own local filesystem and, where available, from the documented GSPro OpenAPI (GSProConnect).

GSCaddie's sole data sources are:

  • Files that GSPro and/or your launch monitor write to your local disk in their normal course of operation (for example, diagnostic log files, the shot/round SQLite database, and the current-round working file).
  • Optionally, the documented GSPro OpenAPI (GSProConnect) if you enable it.
  • Data you voluntarily enter into GSCaddie (account details, notes, handicap, club assignments, etc.).

3. Your responsibility to comply with third-party agreements

You are solely responsible for complying with the terms of service, end-user license agreements, and privacy policies of:

You represent and warrant that your use of GSCaddie alongside these products does not violate any agreement you have with those vendors. If a third-party agreement you are subject to prohibits companion tools of this nature, you must not use GSCaddie.

4. License grant

Subject to your compliance with these Terms and, where applicable, your payment of subscription fees, M5 Software Solutions LLC grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to install and use GSCaddie on computers you own or control, solely for your personal, non-commercial golf practice and analysis.

4.1 Restrictions

You may not, and may not permit any third party to:

  • Copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of GSCaddie;

5.2 Subscriptions, billing, and refunds

Certain features require a paid subscription. Pricing, billing interval, and renewal terms are disclosed at the point of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Refund eligibility is described at purchase and is otherwise at our sole discretion, except where required by law.

5.3 Changes to pricing

  • Use GSCaddie to compete in sanctioned tournaments in any manner that violates the tournament's rules.

7. Your data

You own your shot, round, and performance data. It is generated by your swing, captured by your hardware, and stored on your computer. GSCaddie is a tool that helps you read, analyze, and sync your own data. You retain all rights to it.

Our handling of that data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

You grant us a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, process, transmit, back up, and display your data solely as necessary to provide and improve GSCaddie to you. This license ends when you delete your data or close your account (subject to the retention rules in the Privacy Policy).

8. Analytics, drills, and recommendations

GSCaddie analyzes your shot data and produces aggregate metrics, derived statistics, and rule-based drill recommendations (for example, dispersion ellipses, strokes-gained breakdowns, shape classification, gap detection, drill suggestions targeted at observed faults). These outputs are computed from your own data and may be incorrect, incomplete, or misleading. They are not coaching advice, medical advice, or professional instruction. Use your own judgment. You are responsible for how you act on them.

9. Intellectual property

GSCaddie, including its code, UI, graphics, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by M5 Software Solutions LLC and its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. These Terms do not grant you any rights to our trademarks or branding.

We respect the intellectual property of others. If you believe content in GSCaddie infringes your copyright, contact hello@gscaddie.com with a DMCA-compliant notice.

10. Third-party services

GSCaddie interoperates with third-party services (e.g., your GSPro installation, your launch monitor software, our cloud provider, payment processors). We are not responsible for those services. Your use of them is governed by their respective terms.

11. Disclaimers

GSCaddie IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

GSPRO AND LAUNCH MONITOR FILE FORMATS MAY CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE, WHICH MAY TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY BREAK GSCADDIE FEATURES.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL M5 Software Solutions LLC, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF GSCADDIE.

14. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to GSCaddie at any time, with or without notice, for any violation of these Terms or if required by law or business necessity.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced via the app, the website, or email. Your continued use of GSCaddie after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes acceptance.
