Terms of Service

Last updated: April 16, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before using Sk8te. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • “Sk8te”, “we”, “us”, or “our” refers to the Sk8te service and its operators.
  • “Service” means the Sk8te mobile application and any associated web services.
  • “You” or “your” means the individual using the Service.
  • “Content” means any videos, clips, images, session data, comments, or other material you submit to or generate through the Service.
  • “ML Analysis” means the automated machine learning processing applied to your video recordings to detect tricks, generate statistics, and produce other derived data.
  • “Network” means the social feed, community, and sharing features of the Service.
  • “Subscription” means a paid monthly plan providing access to premium features of the Service.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Service. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have obtained parental or guardian consent to use the Service and to these Terms. By using the Service, you represent that you meet these requirements.

3. Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate and current information when registering.
  • Notify us promptly at support@sk8te.app if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.
  • Not share your account with others or create accounts on behalf of others without authorisation.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4. Subscriptions

4.1 Monthly Subscription

Sk8te offers a monthly paid subscription that unlocks premium features. By subscribing, you authorise us (or our payment processor) to charge your chosen payment method on a recurring monthly basis.

4.2 Billing and Renewal

  • Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each monthly billing period unless you cancel before the renewal date.
  • Subscription fees are charged at the start of each billing period and are non-refundable, except where required by applicable law.
  • We may change subscription pricing with at least 30 days’ notice. Continued use after a price change takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.

4.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your subscription at any time through your device’s App Store subscription management settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period — you will retain access to premium features until that date. Sk8te does not issue partial refunds for unused periods.

4.4 Free Tier

Certain features of the Service are available free of charge. We reserve the right to modify, limit, or discontinue free tier features at any time with reasonable notice.

4.5 Trials

If we offer a free trial, your subscription will automatically convert to a paid subscription at the applicable monthly rate at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends.

5. Licence to Use the Service

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, Sk8te grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to download and use the App on your personal device solely for your personal, non-commercial use.

You may not:

  • Copy, modify, distribute, sell, or sublicence any part of the Service.
  • Reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App.
  • Use the Service to develop a competing product or service.
  • Access the Service by automated means (scraping, bots, crawlers) without our prior written consent.
  • Use the Service in any way that violates applicable law.

6. Your Content

6.1 Ownership

You retain ownership of the Content you create and upload to the Service. Sk8te does not claim ownership of your Content.

6.2 Licence You Grant Us

By submitting Content to the Service, you grant Sk8te a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, process, reproduce, display, and distribute your Content for the purpose of operating, improving, and promoting the Service — including running ML Analysis on your videos to generate session insights.

If you share Content publicly on the Network, this licence includes the right for other users to view and interact with that Content within the Service.

You may revoke this licence by deleting your Content or closing your account, subject to copies that may persist in backups or caches for a reasonable period.

6.3 Your Responsibilities

You represent and warrant that:

  • You own or have sufficient rights to the Content you submit, including the right to record any people, locations, or private property that appear in your videos.
  • Your Content does not infringe any third-party intellectual property, privacy, or other rights.
  • Your Content does not violate any applicable law.

You are solely responsible for your Content. Sk8te is not obligated to pre-screen Content but reserves the right to remove Content that violates these Terms.

6.4 Prohibited Content

You agree not to post Content that:

  • Is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, or obscene.
  • Infringes any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right.
  • Depicts or encourages dangerous, reckless, or illegal activity.
  • Contains malware, viruses, or harmful code.
  • Violates the privacy of others without their consent.

7. ML Analysis and Derived Data

The Service uses machine learning to analyse your video recordings and generate session data, trick detection results, and performance metrics (“Derived Data”). You acknowledge that:

  • ML Analysis is automated and may produce inaccurate results.
  • Derived Data does not constitute professional coaching, safety advice, or any form of expert guidance.
  • Sk8te may use anonymised, aggregated Derived Data to train, improve, and validate its ML systems.

8. ⚠ Assumption of Risk and Disclaimer of Liability

8.1 Physical Activity Risk

Skateboarding is an inherently dangerous physical activity that carries a significant risk of injury, including serious bodily harm or death. You use Sk8te entirely at your own risk.

By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Sk8te is a technology product only. It does not provide coaching, safety guidance, supervision, or any instruction on how to skate safely.
  • Using the App during a skate session — including to record, review footage, or interact with the interface — creates a risk of distraction and increased likelihood of injury.
  • Sk8te, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, and affiliates accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any personal injury, death, property damage, or other loss of any kind arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service or your participation in skateboarding or any other physical activity.
  • You are solely responsible for assessing the risks of skateboarding, wearing appropriate protective equipment, and complying with all laws and regulations applicable to the locations where you skate.

If you do not accept these risks in their entirety, you must not use the Service.

8.2 Content and Network

  • The Network contains user-generated content that Sk8te does not pre-screen.
  • Sk8te is not liable for any offence, harm, loss, or damage caused by Content posted by other users of the Service.
  • You use the Network and any Content you encounter on it entirely at your own risk.

8.3 Service Availability

The Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE”. Sk8te makes no warranty — express or implied — that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from viruses or other harmful components. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sk8te disclaims all warranties including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Sk8te’s total liability to you for any claim arising from or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service shall be limited to the total subscription fees you paid to Sk8te in the 12 months preceding the claim, or £100 / $100 USD (whichever is greater) if you have not paid any fees.

In no event shall Sk8te be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of data, loss of revenue, personal injury, or death — even if Sk8te has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain liability exclusions. In such jurisdictions, the above limitations apply to the greatest extent permitted by law.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sk8te and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in any way connected with:

  • Your access to or use of the Service.
  • Your Content.
  • Your violation of these Terms.
  • Your violation of any third-party rights, including privacy or intellectual property rights.
  • Any injury, death, or property damage arising from your skateboarding activities.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its design, software, trademarks, logos, and all content produced by Sk8te, is owned by or licenced to Sk8te and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use Sk8te’s trademarks, logos, or other brand features without our prior written consent.

The Service may integrate with or link to third-party services (e.g. the Apple App Store, payment processors). These third-party services are governed by their own terms, not ours. Sk8te is not responsible for the content, availability, or practices of any third-party service.

13. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Please read it carefully.

14. Termination

14.1 By You

You may stop using the Service and close your account at any time through the App settings. You should cancel any active Subscription separately through your device’s App Store settings before closing your account.

14.2 By Sk8te

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately, with or without notice, if:

  • You breach these Terms.
  • We are required to do so by law.
  • We discontinue the Service.

Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any prepaid subscription fees, except as required by law.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated Terms in the App or by email at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after updated Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Service.

16. Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales (or, if you are located in the United States, the laws of the State of Delaware), without regard to conflict of law principles.

If you have a dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at support@sk8te.app to attempt informal resolution. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales (or the applicable state/federal courts for US users).

For EU/EEA users: Nothing in these Terms limits your rights as a consumer under the mandatory laws of your country of residence.

17. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Failure to enforce any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sk8te regarding your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements on that subject matter.
