Where liability cannot be fully excluded by law, the Company's maximum aggregate liability to you shall not exceed the greater of (a) the total fees paid by you to the Company in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100.00).

14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

14.1 Informal Resolution

Before initiating formal proceedings, you agree to contact the Company at [email protected] and attempt to resolve any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days.

14.2 Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Services shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

14.3 Class Action Waiver

14.4 Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You may opt out of the arbitration provision in Section 14.2 and the class action waiver in Section 14.3 by sending written notice to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of first accepting this Agreement. For accounts that existed before this opt-out provision was added, the 30-day window runs from the Effective Date of this version of the Agreement. The notice must include your name, your account username, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out within the 30-day window, neither you nor the Company will be bound by Section 14.2 or Section 14.3, and any disputes will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 20 (General Provisions). Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of this Agreement. You may not opt out after the 30-day window has closed.

14.5 Severability

If any provision of this Section 14 is found by a court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remaining provisions of this Section shall continue in full force. If the class action waiver in Section 14.3 is found unenforceable in a particular dispute, the entirety of this Section 14 — including the arbitration provision in Section 14.2 — shall be unenforceable as to that dispute only, and that dispute shall proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 20. This Section 14 shall remain enforceable as to all other disputes.

15. Minors and Parental Consent

Users between the ages of 13 and 17 may only use the Services with the active consent and ongoing supervision of a parent or legal guardian. By permitting a Minor to use NBD Finder, the parent or guardian accepts this Agreement on the Minor's behalf, assumes full responsibility for the Minor's use of the Services, and agrees to the assumption of risk, release of liability, and indemnification provisions as they apply to the Minor.

22. Challenges, Bounties, Boosts, and Deceased Spots

22.1 Challenge and Bounty System

NBD Finder allows users to create Challenges — monetary bounties placed on specific trick attempts at specific skate spots. A user posts a real dollar amount as a reward for the first person to land and document the trick at a designated spot. All Challenge funds (including Boosts — see Section 22.5) are processed through Stripe and held until the Challenge is claimed, verified, expired, or voided.

Platform Fee. A 5% platform fee is added to each Challenge and Boost amount at the time of payment. The fee is paid by the placer (for Challenges) or the booster (for Boosts) and is not deducted from the payout to the claimer. For example, a $20 Challenge costs $21 at checkout — $20 goes to the prize pool that the claimer receives upon verified landing, and $1 to NBD Finder to operate the platform. The platform fee is non-refundable on the same terms as Challenge funds (Section 22.2).

22.2 Refund Policy

Challenge funds are non-refundable once a Challenge has been activated. By creating a Challenge, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Challenges are linked to a specific physical location and the trick specified at the time of creation.
• No refunds are issued for voluntary withdrawal, change of mind, or failure to find a claimer.
• If a spot is designated Deceased (see Section 22.3), any active or pending Challenge at that spot is immediately voided and the associated funds are forfeited without refund.
• Disputed charges may be reviewed under Section 22.6.

22.3 Deceased Spots

A spot may be designated "Deceased" by NBD Finder administrators when the physical location is determined to be permanently destroyed, demolished, walled off, built over, or otherwise permanently inaccessible for skateboarding. Common examples include: a demolition or construction project that covers the obstacle, the installation of permanent security barriers, a full rebuild that fundamentally alters the obstacle's character, or a closure confirmed to be indefinite.

22.4 No Guarantee of Spot Availability

The Company makes no guarantee that any spot listed on NBD Finder will remain accessible, skateable, or in any particular physical condition at any time. Spot conditions and legal statuses can change without notice. The existence of an active Challenge at a spot is not a representation by the Company that the spot is currently accessible, legal to skate, or in any specific condition.

22.5 Boosts

NBD Finder allows users to add additional funds to an existing Challenge through the Boost feature. A Boost is a monetary contribution to the bounty pool of a Challenge created by another user. By placing a Boost, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Boosts are processed through Stripe at the moment of contribution and are non-refundable on the same terms as Challenge bounty funds (Section 22.2).
• A Boost is bound to the specific Challenge to which it was contributed. Boosts may not be redirected to a different Challenge, withdrawn, or refunded for change of mind.
• If the underlying Challenge is voided — including by Deceased designation of the spot (Section 22.3) — all Boost contributions to that Challenge are voided alongside the original bounty without refund.
• The Boost amount is added to the underlying Challenge's payout pool. The claimer who lands and verifies the trick receives the full pool, including all Boosts.
• Boost contributions are publicly attributed to the Booster's username on the Challenge's contributor list unless the Booster has chosen otherwise in their account settings.

22.6 Disputes

If you believe a charge for a Challenge or Boost was made in error, contact us at [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the charge. Where the charge resulted from an unauthorized use of your payment method, fraud, or a technical error on our part, we will work in good faith to investigate and, where appropriate, issue a refund. Routine "change of mind" requests are not eligible for refund under Sections 22.2 and 22.5.
