1. Agreement to Terms

By creating an account on or otherwise accessing or using the SKUFD mobile application (the “App” or “Service”), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App.

You must be at least 13 years old (or 16 if you reside in the European Economic Area) to create an account and use the Service. By using the App, you represent that you meet this age requirement.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you and [Your Company Name / Your Legal Name] (“SKUFD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

2. Description of the Service

SKUFD is a multi-community outdoor activity discovery platform. The App allows users from various communities (including but not limited to skateboarding, birding, disc golf, photography, geocaching, and street art) to:

Discover, create, and share locations (“spots”) on a shared, filterable map
Tag spots with community and feature descriptors
Upload photos of spots
Endorse, comment on, and bookmark spots created by other users
Organize spots into personal lists
Filter the map by community interest

The App is designed to work offline. Data you create is stored locally on your device and synced to our cloud servers when an internet connection is available.

3. Account Registration and Security

3.1 Account Requirement

You must create an account to use the App. There is no anonymous access to spot content within the App.

3.2 Account Information

When you register, you provide an email address (or sign in via Google OAuth) and choose a public handle. Your handle is your public identity on SKUFD and is visible to other users. You are responsible for choosing an appropriate handle.

3.3 Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You agree to:

Keep your password confidential
Not share your account with others
Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access to your account

We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security of your account.

3.4 One Account Per Person

Each individual may maintain only one active SKUFD account. Creating multiple accounts to circumvent restrictions, manipulate content visibility, or for any other deceptive purpose is prohibited.

4. User Content

4.1 Definition

“User Content” means all content you create, upload, or submit through the App, including but not limited to: spots (labels, descriptions, coordinates), photos, comments, endorsements, bookmarks, lists, and tags.

4.2 Ownership

You retain ownership of the User Content you create. Creating or uploading content on SKUFD does not transfer your intellectual property rights to us.

4.3 License Grant to SKUFD

By creating or uploading User Content, you grant SKUFD a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, display, and make available your User Content in connection with operating and providing the Service. This includes:

Displaying your spots, photos, and comments to other authenticated users
Rendering public preview pages for shared spot links (including spot image, title, community tag, and map location)
Caching and storing your content for offline access by other users
Creating thumbnails and compressed versions of your photos for performance

This license exists only for as long as your content remains on the Service. If you delete content or your account, we will cease using that content in accordance with our Privacy Policy, except as required for legitimate operational purposes (e.g., cached copies on other users’ devices may persist until their next sync).

4.4 License Grant to Other Users

By posting User Content to public spots, you grant other authenticated SKUFD users a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to view your content through the App.

4.5 Content Representations

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant that:

You own the content or have the right to grant the licenses described above
Your content does not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party
Your content complies with these Terms and all applicable laws
Your photos do not contain images of identifiable individuals without their consent, where such consent is required by law
