2. Description of Service & Assumption of Risk

NE Skate Spots is an informational platform providing user-generated and curated content about skateboarding locations, including street spots, skateparks, and skateboard shops. The Service is for informational and community purposes only and does not constitute professional advice, endorsement, or authorization to access any location.

SKATEBOARDING IS AN INHERENTLY DANGEROUS ACTIVITY. You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Use of any location listed on the Service is entirely at your own risk
  • Many locations may be on private property, restricted areas, or otherwise prohibited for skateboarding
  • We do not verify, inspect, or guarantee the safety, legality, accessibility, or current condition of any location
  • Locations may have changed since being listed (demolition, construction, increased security, etc.)
  • You are solely responsible for obtaining any necessary permissions before accessing any location
  • You must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, including trespassing laws
  • You should always wear appropriate safety equipment and assess conditions before skating

3. Intellectual Property Rights

All original content, features, functionality, design, and branding of NE Skate Spots are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. User-submitted content remains the property of the respective submitters. Third-party content (including photos from public sources) is subject to its respective copyright holders' rights. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any Service content without express written permission.

4. User Conduct and Content

You agree to use the Service responsibly and lawfully. You specifically agree NOT to: submit false, misleading, or harmful location information; encourage trespassing, vandalism, or illegal activities; upload content you don't have rights to share; upload personally identifiable information of others without consent; harass or abuse other users; circumvent security features; use automated scraping tools; or impersonate others.

The Service allows users to submit locations, photos, comments, and ratings. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute your content. You represent that you own or have permission to share the content. We may modify, remove, or refuse to publish any content at our sole discretion. If you believe content violates these Terms, please contact us.

Premium features may be available for purchase through third-party payment processors (Stripe). By purchasing, you agree to provide accurate payment information and pay all applicable fees. Payments are generally non-refundable unless required by law. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue premium features at any time.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that any location information is accurate, current, legal, or safe. NO INFORMATION OR ADVICE OBTAINED FROM US SHALL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL NE SKATE SPOTS, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY: personal injury, death, or property damage arising from use of any location; trespassing citations, fines, arrests, or legal consequences; direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, punitive, or exemplary damages; loss of profits, data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses; damages from your access to or inability to access the Service; damages from user-generated content or conduct of other users; or damages from unauthorized access to your data.

This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability (contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise), even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some may not apply to you.

8. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless NE Skate Spots, its owners, operators, employees, affiliates, licensors, and service providers from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from: your use of the Service; your violation of these Terms; your violation of any law or rights of any third party; your user-generated content; or your access to or use of any location listed on the Service.

9. Account Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and access at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including violation of these Terms, fraudulent or illegal activity, extended inactivity, or at our sole discretion to protect the Service or other users. You may terminate your account by contacting us.

10. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not endorse and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or practices of third-party sites. Your interactions with third parties are solely between you and that third party. You access third-party links at your own risk.

11. Modifications to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify users of material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.

Any legal action arising under these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Massachusetts, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts.

13. Severability & Entire Agreement
