Terms of Use

1. THE SERVICE

Swiftstash is a friendship-bracelet treasure-hunt and trading platform. Users may create bracelet stashes, add clues and location information, find nearby stashes, log finds, and participate in the community. We do not guarantee that any listed stash still exists, is accessible, contains a bracelet, or is safe to retrieve.

2. UNOFFICIAL FAN PROJECT; NO AFFILIATION

Swiftstash is an independent, unofficial fan-created project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, approved by, or connected with Taylor Swift, TAS Rights Management, Taylor Nation, Universal Music Group, Republic Records, The Eras Tour, or any related artist, company, representative, or rights holder. Third-party trademarks, copyrights, names, images, and other intellectual property belong to their respective owners.

3. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 13 years old to create an account or use the Service. If you are between 13 and 17 years old, you may use the Service only with the consent of your parent or legal guardian. By allowing a minor to use the Service, the parent or legal guardian acknowledges the physical-world nature of stash activities, agrees to supervise the minor as appropriate, and accepts responsibility for the minor’s compliance with these Terms. The Service is not intended for children under 13, and children under 13 may not create an account or participate through the Service.

4. ACCOUNTS

Some features require an account. You agree to provide accurate information and keep login credentials secure. You are responsible for activity through your account. Contact hi@swiftstash.co if you believe your account has been compromised.

5. STASH SAFETY RULES

If you create or hide a stash, you are solely responsible for choosing a lawful and reasonably safe location and for obtaining any permission required from the property owner or person in control of the property. Swiftstash does not authorize you or any other person to enter, remain on, cross, use, or place anything on property that you do not have a legal right to access.

You must not place a stash on private property without permission; inside or beyond fences, gates, barriers, locked areas, employee-only areas, construction sites, utility areas, rooftops, railroad property, roadways, medians, tunnels, drainage areas, bodies of water, cliffs, unstable terrain, restricted government or military property, schools or childcare facilities where unauthorized, airports or security-sensitive areas, or any location where retrieving a stash could require trespassing, climbing, swimming, entering traffic, violating posted rules, damaging property, or creating a safety or security concern.

You must comply with all laws, posted signs, park rules, business rules, property-owner instructions, and directions from employees, security personnel, law enforcement, and public officials. You are responsible for promptly removing or correcting any stash you created if you learn that its location is unsafe, unlawful, prohibited, inaccessible, or no longer authorized.

By creating or placing a stash, you represent and warrant that: (a) you have the legal right and any required permission to place it at that location; (b) a person can access and retrieve it without trespassing, entering a prohibited area, damaging property, or engaging in unreasonably dangerous conduct; (c) the stash itself does not create a hazard, obstruction, nuisance, security concern, or risk of being mistaken for a dangerous or suspicious object; and (d) your clue, pin, description, and other location information do not direct users onto property or into areas they are not legally entitled to enter. You are solely responsible for monitoring and removing your stash when appropriate.

6. FINDING STASHES

Participation in any stash hunt is entirely voluntary. You decide whether, when, and how to travel to, approach, search for, retrieve, replace, or leave a stash. You are solely responsible for evaluating the legality and safety of the route, property, surroundings, weather, lighting, traffic, terrain, stairs, sidewalks, curbs, vegetation, animals, water, structures, crowds, other people, and any other condition you may encounter.

NO TRESPASSING. A map pin, clue, photograph, navigation route, address, user description, or other information in the Service is never permission to enter private, restricted, closed, fenced, posted, dangerous, or otherwise unauthorized property. Swiftstash does not grant property access and cannot grant permission on behalf of any property owner. You must remain in places you are legally entitled to be. If access is uncertain, do not enter. If a route supplied by a mapping service appears unsafe or unlawful, do not follow it. If anyone with apparent authority asks you to leave, you must leave immediately.

You are solely responsible for any citation, fine, towing charge, property damage, trespass claim, arrest, injury, or other consequence resulting from your decision to enter, remain on, travel through, or interact with any location in connection with the Service.

Do not use the Service, read clues, manipulate the map, or operate your device while driving or while doing anything that requires your full attention for safety. Pull over or stop in a lawful and safe place before using navigation or other app features.

7. LOCATION INFORMATION

The Service may use or display location information to help create, find, or navigate to stashes. Location data, GPS signals, map pins, distance estimates, routes, addresses, and directions may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, unavailable, or affected by device settings and third-party mapping services. A displayed route is not a representation that the route is pedestrian-safe, lawful, open to the public, accessible, or permitted. You must independently evaluate every route and location. Do not publish private home addresses or sensitive locations without authorization.

8. THIRD-PARTY LOCATIONS

A stash may be placed at or near a business, park, residence, venue, or other third-party property only where lawful and permitted. The appearance of a location in the Service does not mean that the owner, occupant, operator, municipality, business, or organization has reviewed, approved, sponsored, endorsed, or is affiliated with Swiftstash. Swiftstash does not inspect, control, maintain, own, occupy, or make representations about third-party locations and does not undertake a duty to determine whether any location is safe, lawful, accessible, or authorized.

Swiftstash has no duty to inspect stash locations, verify a user’s permission to place a stash, monitor physical conditions, warn of hazards, supervise participants, provide security, render aid, rescue users, or contact emergency services. Stash creators, finders, property owners, businesses, and other users are independent third parties and are not employees, agents, partners, joint venturers, or representatives of Swiftstash merely because they use the Service.

9. USER CONTENT

User Content includes stash names, clues, descriptions, photographs, comments, profile information, find logs, and other material submitted to the Service. You retain ownership of content you own. By submitting User Content, you grant Swiftstash a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, distribute, format, and use it as reasonably necessary to operate, improve, promote, moderate, and provide the Service.

10. UPLOAD RIGHTS

You may upload only content you own or have permission to use. Do not upload copyrighted photos, album art, tour artwork, logos, lyrics, video, audio, merchandise art, or other third-party material unless you have the legal right to do so.

11. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

You may not use the Service for unlawful, fraudulent, threatening, harassing, hateful, abusive, exploitative, or dangerous purposes; impersonate others; post private information without authorization; create malicious or deliberately false stash listings; upload malware; scrape or harvest data without authorization; bypass security; infringe intellectual-property or privacy rights; or use the Service for unrelated advertising without permission.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Except for User Content and third-party material, the original software, source code, interface, written content, graphics, brand assets, databases, arrangement, and features of Swiftstash are owned by or licensed to Swiftstash and protected by applicable law. “Swiftstash” and associated source-identifying materials are trademarks or trade dress of Savannah Automated to the extent protectable by law.

13. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS

Copyright complaints should follow the Swiftstash Copyright & DMCA Policy or be sent to hi@swiftstash.co.

14. MODERATION

We may review, remove, restrict, disable, or refuse content or accounts when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, community protection, or enforcement of these Terms. We are not required to monitor every listing or verify every stash.

15. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

The Service may rely on mapping, hosting, authentication, analytics, social-media, and other third-party providers. We are not responsible for third-party services, availability, accuracy, or privacy practices.

16. NO GUARANTEE OF STASH AVAILABILITY

User-created stashes may be moved, removed, damaged, claimed, lost, unavailable, or incorrectly described. We do not guarantee that a stash will be present when you arrive or that another user will replace a bracelet.

17. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” Swiftstash DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, SAFETY, AVAILABILITY, AND RELIABILITY.

18. ASSUMPTION OF RISK; RELEASE OF LIABILITY; COVENANT NOT TO SUE

REAL-WORLD PARTICIPATION CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, ILLNESS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, DISABILITY, OR DEATH. Risks may include, without limitation, slips, trips, falls, uneven or defective sidewalks, stairs, curbs, holes, vegetation, poor lighting, heat, cold, storms, flooding, traffic, bicycles, scooters, vehicles, parking lots, railroad areas, water, wildlife, insects, dogs or other animals, criminal acts, confrontations, crowds, construction, debris, sharp objects, exposure to substances, unsafe structures, inaccurate map data or directions, inaccessible locations, and the acts or omissions of other users, property owners, businesses, bystanders, or third parties. Some risks may be obvious; others may be hidden, unexpected, or caused or contributed to by negligence.

BY USING THE SERVICE OR PARTICIPATING IN A STASH ACTIVITY, YOU KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL RISKS OF INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS, TRESPASS-RELATED CONSEQUENCES, AND OTHER HARM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR PARTICIPATION, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU RELEASE, WAIVE, DISCHARGE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE Swiftstash, Savannah Automated, AND THEIR PAST AND PRESENT OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “RELEASED PARTIES”) FOR CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, OR LIABILITIES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY STASH ACTIVITY, INCLUDING CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR OTHER LOSS CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF A RELEASED PARTY, TO THE EXTENT SUCH A RELEASE IS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE WAIVED, INCLUDING LIABILITY FOR WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR OTHER CONDUCT FOR WHICH A WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RELEASED PARTIES WILL ALSO NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, LOSS OF USE, OR OTHER ECONOMIC OR NON-ECONOMIC LOSSES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE, A STASH, A LOCATION, A ROUTE, A THIRD PARTY, OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN A STASH ACTIVITY.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF ALL RELEASED PARTIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR ANY STASH ACTIVITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) $100 OR (B) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO Swiftstash FOR USE OF THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Swiftstash does not provide accident, medical, property, travel, or liability insurance for users or stash activities. You are responsible for your own insurance and for any medical, transportation, property, legal, or other costs you incur.

19. INDEMNIFICATION

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against claims, demands, actions, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, losses, liabilities, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or related to: (a) your creation, placement, maintenance, or removal of a stash; (b) your entry onto, presence on, or use of property in connection with the Service; (c) trespass, property damage, nuisance, personal injury, death, or other claims asserted by a property owner, occupant, business, municipality, another user, or other third party based on your conduct; (d) your violation of law, posted rules, property restrictions, or these Terms; (e) your User Content; or (f) your infringement or violation of another person’s rights. This obligation applies to claims arising from your acts or omissions even if a claim also alleges that the ordinary negligence of a Released Party contributed to the alleged loss, but it does not require indemnification for a Released Party’s sole negligence or for conduct that cannot lawfully be indemnified. Your indemnification obligations do not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

20. TERMINATION

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary for safety, legal compliance, security, community protection, or enforcement of these Terms. Sections concerning intellectual property, disclaimers, assumption of risk, release, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, dispute-related provisions, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive will survive termination.

21. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. To the extent permitted by law, any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or any stash activity must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Chatham County, Georgia, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

22. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE AND RECORDS

You agree that electronic acceptance of these Terms, including clicking an “I agree,” “accept,” “continue,” or similar button or checkbox presented with clear notice that the action signifies agreement, has the same force and effect as a handwritten signature to the extent permitted by law. We may maintain electronic records showing the Terms version, date, time, account, device or session information, and other information reasonably necessary to document acceptance.

23. SEVERABILITY; NO WAIVER; ASSIGNMENT; ENTIRE AGREEMENT

If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later. You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights under them without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or transfer of the Service. These Terms, together with any policies expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Swiftstash concerning the Service and supersede prior or contemporaneous understandings concerning the same subject matter.

24. NO EMERGENCY OR SAFETY SERVICE

Swiftstash is not an emergency, rescue, security, navigation-safety, or law-enforcement service. Do not rely on the Service for emergency assistance, hazard warnings, or personal safety. In an emergency, contact 911 or the appropriate local emergency service.

25. CHANGES AND CONTACT

We may update these Terms from time to time. When changes are material, we may require you to affirmatively accept the revised Terms before continuing to use some or all of the Service. The revised Terms will identify their effective date.

Questions about these Terms may be sent to hi@swiftstash.co.
