4. How the Platform Works
4.1. Mulligans operates an online marketplace that enables Users to buy and sell golf equipment. Mulligans provides the technology, infrastructure, and services that facilitate transactions between Buyers and Sellers.
4.2. Mulligans is not a party to the sale. When a Buyer purchases an item from a Seller, the contract of sale is formed directly between the Buyer and the Seller. Mulligans acts solely as an intermediary platform and is not a party to, nor assumes any liability arising from, the contract between Buyer and Seller, except as expressly stated in these Terms or required by law.
4.3. Mulligans does not take ownership of, inspect, or endorse any items listed on the Platform. Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of their Listings, the quality and condition of their items, and compliance with all applicable laws.
5. Listing Rules
5.1. Accurate Descriptions. Sellers must provide truthful, accurate, and complete descriptions of all items listed on the Platform. This includes, without limitation, the item’s brand, model, condition, any defects or damage, and relevant specifications.
5.2. Photographs. Sellers must upload clear, original photographs that accurately represent the item being sold. Stock images or photographs of different items are not permitted. Photographs must not contain watermarks, promotional overlays, or contact information directing Buyers off-platform.
5.3. Condition Grading. Sellers must select the appropriate condition grade for each item in accordance with the condition grading system provided by Mulligans on the Platform. Misrepresenting the condition of an item constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in account suspension.
5.4. Prohibited Items. Certain items may not be listed or sold on the Platform. For a full list of restricted and prohibited items, please refer to our Prohibited Items Policy. Sellers are responsible for ensuring that their Listings comply with this policy.
5.5. Pricing. Sellers set their own prices. Prices must be stated in pounds sterling (GBP) and must represent the genuine price at which the Seller intends to sell the item. Artificially inflating prices, fee avoidance schemes, or misleading pricing practices are prohibited.
5.6. Listing Fees. There are no fees charged to Sellers for creating Listings on the Platform. Mulligans charges zero seller listing fees.
6. Buyer-Seller Contract
6.1. A binding contract between Buyer and Seller is formed when the Buyer completes the checkout process and payment is successfully processed. At this point, the Seller is obligated to dispatch the item in accordance with these Terms, and the Buyer is obligated to pay the agreed price (including the Buyer Protection Fee).
6.2. The terms of the contract between Buyer and Seller include:
- (a) the item description and condition as stated in the Listing;
- (b) the agreed sale price;
- (c) the shipping method and any delivery timeframes indicated on the Platform; and
- (d) these Terms of Service, insofar as they govern the Transaction.
6.3. Mulligans’ role. Mulligans facilitates the Transaction by providing the Platform, processing payments via escrow, and, where applicable, arranging shipping labels through Shippo. Mulligans is not a party to the contract of sale and does not guarantee the performance of either Buyer or Seller, except through the Buyer Protection programme as described in Section 9.
6.4. Consumer sales. Where a Seller is acting in the course of a business (including Pro Sellers), the sale to a Buyer who is a consumer is a business-to-consumer (B2C) transaction and is subject to the additional consumer rights set out in Section 14.
7. Fees and Payments
7.1. Buyer Protection Fee. The Buyer will be charged a Buyer Protection Fee of 7.5% of the items total plus £0.99 per item purchased. This fee is calculated and displayed to the Buyer at checkout before payment is confirmed. The Buyer Protection Fee is non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
7.2. Platform Commission. Mulligans deducts a Platform Commission of 7.5% from the item sale price before disbursing funds to the Seller. This commission is the sole fee payable by the Seller in connection with a Transaction.
7.3. Seller Payouts. Sellers receive the item sale price minus the 7.5% Platform Commission. Shipping label costs, where Mulligans provides a pre-paid label via Shippo, are fronted by Mulligans and are not deducted from the Seller’s payout.
7.4. Stripe Processing Fees. Mulligans absorbs all Stripe payment processing fees. These fees are not passed on to Buyers or Sellers. Sellers receive the item price minus the 7.5% Platform Commission only.
7.5. Seller Listing Fees. There are no listing fees. Sellers may list items on the Platform at no cost.
7.6. Pro Store Subscription. Mulligans may in the future charge a monthly subscription fee of £30 per month for the Pro Store programme. The Pro Store programme is free during the launch period. Users enrolled in or eligible for the Pro Store programme will be notified at least thirty (30) days before any subscription charges commence. Users may cancel their Pro Store subscription at any time before charges begin.
7.7. Fee Changes. Mulligans reserves the right to modify its fee structure at any time. Any changes to fees will be communicated to Users with at least thirty (30) days’ notice and will not apply to Transactions already in progress at the time of the change.
7.8. Shipping Protection Fee. A Shipping Protection Fee of 1.25% of the items total is added to the shipping line at checkout. This fee contributes to insurance coverage for items lost or damaged in transit. The fee is displayed to the Buyer at checkout before payment is confirmed. The Shipping Protection Fee is non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
7.9. Fee Calculation Example. A Buyer purchasing two items from one Seller, priced at £40 and £30 respectively, will be charged:
- Items total: £70.00
- Buyer Protection Fee (7.5% of £70.00): £5.25
- Service Fee (£0.99 × 2 items): £1.98
- Shipping Protection Fee (1.25% of £70.00, added to shipping line): £0.88
- Plus the shipping cost set by the Seller
All fees are displayed at checkout before the Buyer confirms payment.
8. Shipping
8.1. Dispatch Obligation. Once a Transaction is confirmed, the Seller must dispatch the item within five (5) Working Days. Working Days mean Monday to Friday, excluding UK bank holidays. Failure to dispatch within this period may result in automatic cancellation of the Transaction and a full refund to the Buyer.
8.2. Tracked Delivery. All items sold on the Platform must be shipped using a tracked delivery service. Sellers must provide valid tracking information through the Platform. Untracked shipments are not covered by Buyer Protection, and the Seller assumes full risk of loss in transit.
8.3. Shippo Integration. Mulligans integrates with Shippo to provide shipping label generation and tracking services. Where Mulligans provides a pre-paid shipping label through Shippo (“auto-ship”), the cost of the label is fronted by Mulligans and is not charged to the Seller.
8.4. Seller-Arranged Shipping. Where a Seller elects to arrange their own shipping rather than using a Mulligans-provided label, the Seller is responsible for ensuring the shipment is tracked and that valid tracking information is uploaded to the Platform promptly.
8.5. Delivery Confirmation. Delivery is deemed confirmed when the tracking information provided by the carrier indicates successful delivery to the Buyer’s specified address. The Inspection Window commences upon delivery confirmation.
8.6. Lost or Damaged Items in Transit. If an item is lost or damaged during transit, the Buyer may raise a claim under the Buyer Protection programme. See Section 9 for details.
9. Buyer Protection Summary
9.1. Mulligans offers a Buyer Protection programme designed to give Buyers confidence when purchasing on the Platform. For full details, please refer to our Buyer Protection Policy.
9.2. Coverage. The Buyer Protection programme covers the following situations:
- (a) Item Not Received: The item does not arrive at the Buyer’s specified delivery address.
- (b) Significantly Not As Described (SNAD): The item received is materially different from the Listing description, including significant undisclosed defects, incorrect items, or substantial discrepancies in condition.
- (c) Damaged in Transit: The item arrives damaged due to inadequate packaging or carrier mishandling.
9.3. Inspection Window. Upon delivery confirmation, the Buyer has a three (3) calendar day Inspection Window to examine the item and, if necessary, open a dispute. If no dispute is raised within the Inspection Window, the Transaction is deemed complete and funds are released to the Seller.
9.4. Claiming Buyer Protection. To make a claim under the Buyer Protection programme, the Buyer must initiate a dispute through the Platform within the Inspection Window. Claims raised after the Inspection Window has elapsed may not be eligible for Buyer Protection.
9.5. Refunds. Where a Buyer Protection claim is upheld, the Buyer will receive a full refund of the item price. The Buyer Protection Fee, Service Fee, and Shipping Protection Fee are non-refundable except where required by law. Refunds are processed via the original payment method through Stripe.
10. Escrow
10.1. How Escrow Works. When a Buyer completes a purchase, the payment (comprising the item price and the Buyer Protection Fee) is collected by Mulligans via Stripe and held securely in escrow. Funds are not released to the Seller immediately upon payment.
10.2. Release of Funds. Escrowed funds are released to the Seller (minus the 7.5% Platform Commission) upon the earliest of:
- (a) the expiry of the three (3) calendar day Inspection Window following delivery confirmation, provided no dispute has been raised; or
- (b) the Buyer confirming acceptance of the item through the Platform before the Inspection Window expires.
10.3. Disputes. If the Buyer raises a dispute within the Inspection Window, the escrowed funds will continue to be held until the dispute is resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution process set out in Section 18.
10.4. Stripe. All payment processing and escrow services are provided through Stripe. By using the Service, you agree to Stripe’s terms of service and privacy policy as applicable to your use of the payment functionality.
11. Offers and Negotiation
11.1. Making Offers. Buyers may submit offers to Sellers on listed items through the Platform’s offer system. Offers must be between 50% and 100% (inclusive) of the listed price. Offers below 50% of the listed price will not be permitted by the Platform.
11.2. Offer Limits. Each Buyer is limited to a maximum of three (3) offers per Listing over the lifetime of that Listing. This limit applies regardless of whether previous offers were accepted, declined, or expired.
11.3. Seller Response Window. Sellers have twenty-four (24) hours from the time an offer is submitted to accept, decline, or counter the offer. If the Seller does not respond within the 24-hour window, the offer will automatically expire.
11.4. Binding Acceptance. When a Seller accepts a Buyer’s offer, or a Buyer accepts a Seller’s counter-offer, a binding agreement to transact at the agreed price is formed. The Buyer must complete payment promptly to finalise the Transaction.
11.5. Price Changes. If a Seller changes the listed price of an item, all active (pending) offers on that Listing are automatically voided. Buyers who had active offers will be notified and may submit new offers at their discretion, subject to the lifetime offer limit.
12. Reviews and Ratings
12.1. Eligibility. Reviews may only be left after a Transaction has been completed (i.e., the Inspection Window has expired or the Buyer has confirmed acceptance, and no unresolved dispute exists). Both Buyers and Sellers may leave reviews for one another.
12.2. Content Standards. Reviews must be honest, fair, and based on the User’s genuine experience with the Transaction. Reviews must not contain defamatory, abusive, discriminatory, or misleading content. Mulligans reserves the right to remove reviews that violate these standards or our Acceptable Use Policy.
12.3. Automatic Reviews on Cancellation. Mulligans automatically applies a one-star (1☆) review to a Seller’s profile when the Seller cancels their second order on the Platform (cumulative across all of that Seller’s Transactions). This automatic action is applied to encourage reliable Seller behaviour and protect Buyer experience. The first cancellation does not trigger an automatic review.
Sellers may appeal an automatic review by contacting info@mulligans.uk.com if they believe the cancellation was unavoidable (e.g. carrier issues, fraud prevention, item damaged in storage). Mulligans will review appeals within 14 days and may remove the automatic review if the cancellation was unavoidable.
12.4. Review Integrity. Manipulating the review system, including but not limited to offering incentives for positive reviews, submitting fraudulent reviews, or retaliating against Users who leave negative reviews, is strictly prohibited and may result in account suspension or termination.
13. Cancellations
13.1. Buyer Cancellation Window. Buyers may cancel a Transaction within five (5) minutes of completing payment. Cancellations within this window will result in a full refund, including the Buyer Protection Fee.
13.2. Seller Pre-Label Cancellation. Sellers may cancel a Transaction before a shipping label has been generated or before the item has been dispatched, whichever occurs first. Sellers who cancel will not incur any fee for that cancellation, but repeated cancellations may result in the consequences described in Section 12.3 and potential account restrictions.
13.3. Automatic Cancellation for Non-Dispatch. If a Seller fails to dispatch the item within five (5) Working Days of the Transaction being confirmed, the Transaction will be automatically cancelled and the Buyer will receive a full refund.
13.4. Effect of Price Changes on Offers. When a Seller changes the listed price of an item, all active offers on that Listing are voided. This is not treated as a cancellation by either party.
13.5. Automatic One-Star Review. As set out in Section 12.3, a Seller’s second cancellation (cumulative across all Transactions) will trigger an automatic one-star (1☆) review on the Seller’s profile. Sellers may appeal this automatic review by contacting info@mulligans.uk.com. See Section 12.3 for full details of the appeal process.
13.6. Refund Processing. All refunds arising from cancellations will be processed to the Buyer’s original payment method via Stripe. Refund processing times may vary depending on the Buyer’s payment provider but are typically completed within five to ten (5-10) Working Days.
14. B2C Consumer Rights
14.1. Application. This section applies where a Seller is acting in the course of a business (including, without limitation, Pro Sellers and any other Seller who meets the legal definition of a “trader”) and the Buyer is a consumer. In such cases, the Transaction constitutes a business-to-consumer (B2C) sale and is subject to the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (the “Consumer Contracts Regulations”) and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
14.2. Right of Cancellation. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations, consumers purchasing from business Sellers have a statutory right to cancel the contract within fourteen (14) calendar days from the day after the Buyer receives the item (the “Cooling-Off Period”), without giving any reason. Business Sellers must honour this right and accept returns within the Cooling-Off Period.
14.3. Exercising the Right. To exercise the right of cancellation, the Buyer must inform the Seller (via the Platform’s messaging or dispute system) of the decision to cancel by a clear statement before the expiry of the Cooling-Off Period. The Buyer must return the item to the Seller within fourteen (14) calendar days of communicating the cancellation. The item must be returned in the condition in which it was received, subject to reasonable inspection.
14.4. Refunds for B2C Cancellations. Where a Buyer exercises the right of cancellation under this section, the business Seller must refund the full item price to the Buyer without undue delay and in any event within fourteen (14) calendar days of receiving the returned item (or evidence that it has been sent back). The refund will be processed through the Platform.
14.5. Private Sellers. Where the Seller is a private individual (not acting in the course of a business), the Consumer Contracts Regulations do not apply. Private Sellers are not required to accept returns unless the item is significantly not as described (SNAD), in which case the Buyer may claim under the Buyer Protection programme (see Section 9).
14.6. Seller Responsibility. It is the Seller’s responsibility to determine whether they are acting as a trader or a private individual and to comply with all applicable consumer protection legislation accordingly. Mulligans does not make this determination on behalf of Sellers and is not liable for a Seller’s failure to comply with their legal obligations.
14.7. Non-Excludable Rights. Nothing in these Terms shall affect, limit, or exclude any statutory rights that a consumer may have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts Regulations, or any other applicable legislation which cannot be excluded or limited by contract.

18. Dispute Resolution
18.1. Mulligans provides a structured dispute resolution process to help Buyers and Sellers resolve disagreements fairly and efficiently. Disputes should be raised through the Platform’s dispute resolution system.
18.2. Step 1: Bilateral Resolution (72-Hour Seller Response). When a Buyer raises a dispute, the Seller is notified and given seventy-two (72) hours to respond and attempt to resolve the matter directly with the Buyer through the Platform’s messaging system. Both parties are encouraged to communicate openly and in good faith to reach a mutually acceptable resolution.
18.3. Step 2: Automatic Escalation. If the Seller fails to respond within seventy-two (72) hours, or if the parties are unable to reach a resolution within the bilateral resolution period, the dispute is automatically escalated to Mulligans for review.
18.4. Step 3: Admin Final Decision. Upon escalation, Mulligans will review the dispute, including all communications, Listing details, photographs, tracking information, and any other relevant evidence submitted by either party. Mulligans will make a final decision on the dispute, which may include issuing a full or partial refund to the Buyer, releasing funds to the Seller, or any other resolution deemed appropriate. The decision of Mulligans is final and binding on both parties within the context of the Platform, without prejudice to either party’s legal rights.
18.5. Buyer Protection Claims. Disputes involving claims under the Buyer Protection programme will be handled in accordance with our Buyer Protection Policy in addition to this Section 18.
18.6. Good Faith. Both parties must participate in the dispute resolution process in good faith. Providing false or misleading information during a dispute may result in the dispute being decided against the offending party and may lead to account suspension or termination.
19. Suspension and Termination
19.1. Suspension by Mulligans. Mulligans may, at its sole discretion, suspend, restrict, or terminate your account and access to the Service, with or without notice, for any of the following reasons:

Notice will be given by email to the address associated with your account and/or by prominent in-app notification on the Platform.

20.3. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop using the Service and close your account before the changes take effect. Transactions already in progress at the time of a change will be governed by the Terms in effect at the time the Transaction was initiated.

The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent.
