(b) DECADE’s purpose is to teach course management. When we first launched in 2016 the DECADE App consisted of a basic stats portal and tutorial content. We consider that to be what you are buying. We have continued to add features to the product for free over the years to keep improving the product, but what you are buying is the basic stats package, DECADE tutorial video content, access to regular members only webinars, and Coaching Moments content based on your statistics and game. We hope to always include the other features like free yardage books, GPS based statistics, and Driving Targets to name a few. However, those features do rely on outside vendors. We will always do all we can to find alternate sources should something happen to our current vendors but we cannot guarantee those features and we do not consider them to be the reason you are buying DECADE. DECADE is known for being the world’s first, and best, course management system for golf. Access to the DECADE System Tutorial Content is the main value provided for your subscription.
