Terms of Service

Last updated November 14, 2026

Skate Map is run by Patrick Washington ("we", "us"). When you use Skate Map you are making an agreement with Patrick Washington. By using Skate Map, or continuing to use it, you agree to these terms.

The service

Skate Map is a directory and map of skate spots. Free accounts can browse, rate, save spots, follow skaters, and read and reply to messages they receive. Skate Map Premium ($2.99 per month or $24.99 per year) also lets you submit your own spots, which we review before they appear, with credit to you as the finder, start new conversations with other skaters, and share spots with them.

Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old, and old enough in your country to agree to these terms. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must agree for you.
• Give accurate information and keep it up to date.
• Keep your sign-in details private. You are responsible for activity on your account.

Skate safely

Spot details, photos, and directions are for general information and can be wrong or out of date. Skateboarding is risky. You are responsible for your own safety, for wearing protective gear, and for obeying laws, posted rules, and private property rights. Listing a spot does not mean skating there is allowed.

Acceptable use

You must not misuse Skate Map. That includes:

• Breaking the law, or helping someone else break it.
• Fraud, spam, harassment, threats, or impersonating someone.
• Posting photos or content you do not have the rights to, or that infringe someone's intellectual property.
• Interfering with security: malware, probing or testing for weaknesses, scraping, or overloading the service.
• Copying, reselling, or reverse engineering Skate Map, or getting around its limits.

Your content

You keep ownership of photos, spots, ratings, profile details, and messages you add. You give us a limited permission to store, show, and process them only to run Skate Map. Submitted spots may stay on the map after your Premium plan ends. We may review, refuse, or remove content that breaks these terms. You are responsible for claims that arise from your content or from your breaking these terms.

Our property

We own Skate Map, including its software, design, logo, and branding. We give you a limited, personal, non-transferable right to use it under your plan. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors, and some photos come from Google with credit to their owners.

Payments and subscriptions

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

Premium renews automatically each month or year until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your Account page, and Premium stays on until the end of the time you have paid for. Payment, billing, tax, cancellation, and refund details are covered by Paddle's Buyer Terms and our Refund Policy.

No guarantee

We work to keep Skate Map running well, but we cannot promise it will always be available, uninterrupted, or free of errors. To the fullest extent the law allows, Skate Map is provided "as is", without implied warranties such as fitness for a particular purpose.

Limits on liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not responsible for indirect or consequential losses, such as lost profits or data, or for injuries or damage from skating a listed spot. Our total responsibility is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing here limits responsibility that cannot be limited by law, such as for fraud.

Suspension and closing accounts

We may suspend or close an account for a serious breach of these terms, non-payment, security or fraud risks, or repeated rule-breaking. You can stop using Skate Map at any time.

Other terms

We are not responsible for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control. You may not transfer this agreement without our consent. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, USA. We may update these terms; continued use after an update means you accept it.
