The Rules of the House

Terms of Service

Effective 16 August 2026

1. Who we are

Fairway Friends Adventures is published by SwanKeeper Publishing LLC, 61 Liscomb Circle, Gilford, New Hampshire 03249, United States. You can reach a human at clubhouse@fairwayfriendsadventures.com or +1 603-937-0842. In these terms, “we”, “us” and “our” mean SwanKeeper Publishing LLC; “you” means the person buying or using anything we make.

2. What you are agreeing to

By buying from us, opening a locker room, or using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree to them, please do not buy or sign in. If these terms and our Privacy Policy ever disagree about personal information, the Privacy Policy wins.

3. Who may buy, and who may hold a locker room

You must be at least eighteen years old to place an order or to open a locker room. The locker room belongs to the grown-up, always. Our books are written for children aged three to six today, and we expect to publish for other ages in time. Children are very welcome to enjoy all of it — but the account, the email address, the ordering and the earning are the adult’s.

We have built the child’s part of this site, The Short Course, as a walled garden: no prices, no button that spends money, no countdown, nothing to type, and a grown-up question standing at the way out. We should be straight with you about that question. It is a piece of arithmetic meant to be beyond a small child, not a lock. A determined six-year-old, or a child with an older sibling in the room, may well get past it. Please treat The Short Course as a safer place for your child to be, not as a place your child cannot leave.

4. What we offer

Printed books, in hardcover and softcover. Digital editions: audiobooks, Read-Along E-Storybooks, Listen-Along Storybooks and the Swing Away song. Bundles of the above. Gift cards. In time we expect to offer clothing and other merchandise, and those will be covered by these same terms.

Printed books are shipped. Digital editions arrive in your locker room as soon as your order goes through, which is usually within a few minutes.

5. Your licence to the digital editions

When you buy a digital edition you are buying a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to enjoy it at home with your family, for as long as we offer it — not ownership of the work itself. You may read it, play it and listen to it on the devices your household uses. You may not sell it, rent it, share the files publicly, upload them anywhere, strip anything that identifies them, or use them commercially, in a classroom or library setting without our written permission, or to train a machine-learning model. Ask us about school and library use; we are friendly about it.

6. Your locker room and your magic link

We sign you in with a link sent to your email rather than a password. That link is the key to your locker room. Anyone who has it can open your locker room, so please treat it as you would a password: do not forward it, do not post it, and tell us if you think someone else has it. You are responsible for what happens under your locker room.

7. The Clubhouse

The Clubhouse is our free membership programme. You earn golf balls for the things you do here. The rules of it are published in full as The Rules of the House, and those rules are part of these terms. We may change how balls are earned whenever we need to, and the published rules are always the current ones. In summary, and without limiting them:

Golf balls are recognition, not currency. They have no cash value. They cannot be bought, sold, transferred, willed, or exchanged for money.

Balls cannot buy products and money cannot buy a level. Nothing you pay us moves you up a rung except the earning the rules describe.

Your balls stay in your bag. They do not expire. We do not take them away. There is no season that resets them, and every level you reach is yours for good. If we change how balls are earned, no family moves down and no balance goes backwards.

The locker room is the household’s, and one household is one locker room.

We may end or change the programme for the future, but balls already earned and levels already reached stay exactly as they are.

If the Clubhouse ever closes for good, we will tell you at least thirty days beforehand, we will ask you to download everything you have bought before it goes, and anything you have already bought is yours regardless.

8. Leaving, and closing your locker room

You may leave whenever you like, and you never have to give a reason.

Because your locker room is where your books, audiobooks and songs live, closing it is not a small thing, and we will not let you do it by accident. Before we close a locker room we will show you everything in it and ask you to download whatever you want to keep. There is one button that downloads all of it at once. Then we will ask you to tick a box confirming you have what you want.

After that, closing is permanent. Anything left in the locker room is gone and we cannot get it back for you. Your golf balls and your level go with it, and reopening a locker room later starts you at the beginning — the Forever rule keeps your balls safe while your locker room is open; it cannot follow you out of the door.

If you also want the personal information we hold about you deleted, say so and we will, within thirty days, except for the transaction records that tax and accounting law makes us keep. That is set out in our Privacy Policy.

9. When we would close a locker room ourselves

Almost never, and we would rather talk to you first. But we may close a locker room if it is used to defraud us, to break into somebody else’s locker room, to share or resell the files, or to send abuse through the invite or feedback forms. If we do, we will tell you why, and we will give you the chance to download everything you have paid for before it closes.

10. Prices, and honest mistakes

Prices are in US dollars and can change. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay. Very occasionally a price or a description will be wrong; if that happens we may cancel the order and refund you in full rather than hold you to an obvious error, and we will tell you why.

We also try to stop you buying something you already own. If our shop lets a duplicate through anyway, tell us and we will refund it — see the Refund and Returns Policy.

11. Orders and payment

Our store runs on Shopify, and payment is handled by Shopify’s payment processors — we never see or store your full card number. An order is an offer to buy; the contract is made when we confirm it. We may decline or cancel an order, and refund it, if we suspect fraud, if something is out of stock, or if it breaks these terms.

12. What belongs to us

Ace, Daisy and the Fairway Friends, the stories, the illustrations, the recordings, the Swing Away song, the site design and the Clubhouse are ours or our licensors’. The cast grows — new friends arrive on the course regularly — and every one of them belongs here too. Buying a copy does not transfer any of it. Please do not copy, adapt or perform them publicly without asking.

Reading the book aloud to your own children, and to your children’s friends, is exactly what it is for and needs no permission at all.

13. Using the site fairly

Please do not break into, overload or scrape the site, do not try to open a locker room that is not yours, do not upload anything harmful, and do not use the feedback or sharing forms to send anything abusive. If a locker room is being used that way we may close it, and we will tell you why.

14. Sharing with a friend

If you use the invite form, you are giving us a friend’s name and email address so we can send them one message from you. Please only send it to people who would be glad to hear from you. We use that address for that message and for nothing else, and either of you can ask us to delete it at any time by writing to clubhouse@fairwayfriendsadventures.com.

15. Other people’s services

We rely on other companies to run this — Shopify for the store, and third-party services for delivery, email and hosting. When you use those parts you are also subject to their terms. We are not responsible for what those companies do with information you give them directly.

16. What we promise, and what we do not

We will do our honest best to keep the site up and your locker room working, but we do not promise it will never be unavailable, never have a fault, or work on every device ever made. Except where the law does not allow us to say so, everything is provided “as is”, and we disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Nothing in these terms limits any legal right you have as a consumer that cannot be limited.

17. Limit of our liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential losses, including lost profits, lost data or loss of goodwill, whether or not we were told such losses were possible. Our total liability to you for any claim connected to your order is limited to what you paid us for the item the claim is about. Some states do not allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.

18. Indemnity

If you use the site, the Clubhouse or the digital editions in a way these terms forbid, and that use causes a claim, demand or proceeding against us, you agree to defend us, to indemnify us, and to hold us harmless from it — including our reasonable legal costs. We will tell you promptly about any such claim and will not settle it without asking you first.

19. The law that applies

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute goes to the state or federal courts sitting in Belknap County, New Hampshire, and we both agree to that.

20. Changes

We may update these terms. When we do we will change the date at the top and post the new version here. If a change matters — if it affects what you have already bought or what you have already earned — we will tell you directly by email. Changes are never retroactive.

21. Odds and ends

If a court finds one clause unenforceable, the rest still stands. Our not enforcing something once does not waive it forever. These terms, the Privacy Policy, the Refund and Returns Policy, the Shipping Policy and The Rules of the House are the whole agreement between us.
