The fine print, in plain words

Legal

Assumption of risk, the Minors policy, and how LootSkip operates as a platform.

Plain-language rules so you know how LootSkip works before you play. LootSkip is the platform that hosts hunt listings — never the organizer of any hunt.

Legal documents

  • Terms of Service — hunter terms, skipper terms, and conduct rules.
  • Privacy — what we collect, why, and what we never do with your data.
  • Safety — “no treasure is worth your safety” and the hunting checklist.
  • This Legal index — assumption of risk, the Minors policy, and platform posture.

Assumption of risk (summary)

Real-world treasure hunting carries inherent risk. By participating you assume all risk and accept sole responsibility for your safety, preparation, and judgment. Emergency costs are yours. LootSkip is the platform — never the organizer — and is held harmless and indemnified for claims arising from participation. Waivers defeat ordinary-negligence claims; nothing here waives gross negligence or willful misconduct, and some jurisdictions narrow waivers further.

Minors policy

  • 13+ with guardian consent. Creating an account requires you to be at least 13 years old and to have a guardian’s consent.
  • Under 13 only with a guardian. Younger hunters take part only alongside a guardian’s account (a family crew), never with their own account.
  • Cash claims 18+. Claiming or being paid a cash prize requires you to be 18+ (our payment processor’s identity/tax checks require it).
  • Under-13 account features do not exist; shipping one requires a dedicated compliance pass.

Platform posture

LootSkip hosts user-created hunt listings. We are the platform, never the organizer. We do not fund, place, or run hunts; skippers do, and skippers warrant their hunt’s safety and legality. Governing law and venue are set in the Terms of Service.
