The EDGA operates an annual membership model.
- Fiscal Year: The EDGA membership season and fiscal year run from 1 January to 31 December annually.

- Contract Formation: Your membership contract is formed upon successful payment (or application for free tiers) and the digital issuance of your EDGA sporting identifier.
3. Household Model and Junior Members
- Primary Responsibility: The Primary Member (Adult) is responsible for the accuracy of all data provided for their household and for the conduct of linked members on this platform.
- Guardian Consent: By adding a junior to your household, you confirm that you are their legal guardian or have the guardian’s express permission to share their data for sporting administration and safeguarding purposes.
- Independence: Upon reaching the age of 18, junior members may claim their own profile and transition to an independent adult account.
4. Codes of Conduct and Dispute Resolution
- Integrity: Members must act in a manner that does not bring the sport of disc golf or the EDGA into disrepute.
- Identifiers: Your EDGA number is a unique sporting identifier. You must not sell, share, or allow others to use your account credentials.
- Board Authority: The EDGA Board has the final authority to adjudicate disputes between members regarding membership eligibility, sporting records, and disciplinary issues arising from sanctioned events.
- Sanctions: The Board reserves the right to suspend or permanently ban members found in breach of these terms.
5. Limitation of Liability and “Hold Harmless”
- Condition of Membership: As a condition of your membership, you agree to hold the Association and its volunteer directors, officers, and agents harmless from claims of any kind arising out of your participation in or observation of any game, tournament, or event sanctioned by the EDGA.
- Unincorporated Status: You acknowledge that the EDGA is an Unincorporated Association. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Association and its volunteer Officers shall not be liable for personal injury, loss, or damage sustained through the use of this website or participation in unsanctioned play.
6. Intellectual Property
The EDGA name, logo, and website content are the property of the English Disc Golf Association. Members are granted a limited licence to use Association digital badges for personal, non-commercial use (e.g., social media profile sharing).
7. Statutory Rights and Cooling-Off
Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights. However, by receiving your unique EDGA number and gaining immediate access to member-only digital services, you acknowledge that you are requesting the immediate performance of the contract, which may limit your right to a 14-day cooling-off refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
8. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
9. Changes to Terms
We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in the law or Association governance. Continued use of the website and membership services constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
