Questions about the subscription.
Can we sign up for Forever now?
Not yet. Forever for a golf course is enquiry only for now. The hosted course map and tables are being built, and Forever opens for sign-up when they are ready. Talk to us and we will tell you where it is up to.
What will Forever cost, and when does a year start?
Forever for a golf course is $890 a year plus GST, per course, once we have mapped the course. The Course Map is its own order, at its published price, and is not part of a Forever year. Community rate for volunteer-run clubs with no full-time paid staff (self-declared): $445 a year. For a course outside New Zealand there is no GST to add. Your first paid year starts on the day your online map is first ready for you to use or the day you pay for it, whichever is later, and runs until the 1st of the month after a full year has passed. If that day is the 1st of a month, it runs to the 1st of the same month a year later. For example, if your map is ready to use from 15 March 2027 and you pay that day, your first year runs to 1 April 2028. Time spent on mapping and approval before your online map is ready does not count towards your year.
Does it renew by itself?
No. Nothing renews by itself and we never charge a stored card. We send a renewal notice at least 30 days before your year ends, with the price of the next year, and you choose whether to take it. Each new year is $890 plus GST at today's price. If you do nothing, your year simply ends.
What will three hours of updates cover?
Small changes to your course map: a new tee, a reshaped bunker, a renamed zone, a drainage line added from a new as-built. We estimate the time first, and it comes off your hours only once you agree the estimate. Revisions in your first six months are not drawn from your hours. Unused hours carry into your next paid year only, and anything larger is quoted before work starts. Fixing our own mistakes never uses your hours.
We have two courses. Is that one Forever?
No. Forever is priced per course: a club with two courses is two.
What do we keep if we stop?
Every file we have delivered to you. When a year ends and no new year follows, you receive a secure link to a ZIP of your approved delivered files, open for 30 days. Online access and updates stop, and taking a new year restores them. After 24 months without an active subscription, hosted files move to archive. They are not deleted.
