Terms of Service

LootSkip is a platform that hosts hunt listings. We are never the organizer of any hunt. Skippers create and place hunts; hunters play them. You take part at your own risk and judgment. By using LootSkip you agree to these terms.

• You assume ALL risk. You are solely responsible for your own safety, preparation, and judgment while hunting — including traffic, terrain, weather, and your surroundings.
• Emergency costs are yours. Any rescue, ambulance, medical, or search-and-rescue costs arising from your participation are your responsibility, not LootSkip’s.
• Disputes between hunters are between hunters. LootSkip does not monitor or mediate disputes, harassment, or competition between participants, and is held harmless from them.
• First to legally claim wins. The first hunter to claim per the verification rules (a correct claim code submitted from inside the geofence) is the finder. LootSkip’s verification decision is final for the platform’s purposes.
• You indemnify and hold LootSkip harmless for any claims arising from your participation.

• You are the organizer. If you create a hunt, you are solely responsible for the hunt, the token, and the location. LootSkip hosts your listing; it does not organize your hunt.
• Location warranty. You warrant the hiding spot is safe, public, and legally accessible, with any needed permission obtained. You are liable for trespass or placement issues and you indemnify the platform.
• Prohibited hunt designs. No wilderness, cliff, water, or confined-space placements. No placement requiring trespass, climbing, digging, or tools. Nothing that could look like a suspicious package (no containers near infrastructure). No night-only hunts without explicit safe-lighting design. Nothing that encourages impaired or reckless behavior. Hunts tripping these rules are flagged for review and cannot go Live.
• Expired hunts. When a hunt expires, retrieve your physical token. No LootSkip litter.
• Fees. Hunting and claiming are free. LootSkip may charge platform fees on what skippers sell or fund — clue drops, tips and cash-prize escrow — at the rates in the published fee schedule at lootskip.com/help, which forms part of these Terms. Fees are shown before you confirm any sale or funding; the buyer pays the listed price and a cash-prize winner always receives the full advertised prize. Each sale, tip and prize funding keeps the rate in effect when it settled — a later change to the schedule applies only to new transactions and is announced on that page.
• Cash-prize escrow. When you fund a cash hunt, the full amount (prize plus fee) is charged to your card immediately and held in LootSkip’s Stripe balance, earmarked to that hunt and nothing else, until it is looted or expires. A verified winner is paid the full advertised prize; if the hunt expires unfound, the full amount is refunded to your card (normally within a day of expiry, plus your issuer’s posting time). Refunds flagged by our integrity checks may be held for a short human review. A chargeback on your funding card pauses the hunt’s payout until the dispute closes.

• No trespassing — obey all laws.
• Never search under the influence.
• Respect the environment and other people’s property — no digging, no dismantling.
• Leave every spot as you found it, or better.
• Be considerate of people who aren’t playing.

Accounts are for ages 13+ with a guardian’s consent. Under-13 hunters take part only alongside a guardian’s account (a family crew). Cash-prize claims and payouts are 18+ only (our payment processor’s identity checks require it). See the full Minors policy.

Governing law and venue. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any dispute that cannot be resolved informally shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Lee County, Florida, and you consent to that venue. Changes. We may update these Terms; the version and date are shown below, material changes require re-acceptance in the app, and each transaction keeps the terms and fee schedule in effect when it settled.
