These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PinScene ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") and the website located at https://pinscene.com (the "Website").
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and Data Use Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Website.
You must be at least 18 years old to use the Website. By using the Website, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.
PinScene provides a real-time, community-driven map where users post short-lived "pins" describing local events, incidents, and happenings. All information is provided for general informational purposes only.
We do not provide emergency, medical, legal, financial, or public-safety advice. Users should independently verify any pin content before relying on it, and should always contact appropriate authorities in emergencies.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any feature or aspect of the Website at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation of services.

Users may log in using third-party services such as Google, Facebook, or Apple. By doing so, you authorize us to access limited profile information as permitted by that provider. Your use of third-party services is subject to their respective terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party authentication systems or interruptions in their service.

We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any content displayed. Use of the Website is at your own risk, and you should never rely on PinScene as a sole source of information during an emergency.
You agree not to use the Website for unlawful purposes, attempt to gain unauthorized access to systems, interfere with security or platform integrity, scrape, copy, or redistribute data without authorization, submit false, misleading, fabricated, or harmful pins, impersonate others, post content that is defamatory, harassing, hateful, threatening, sexually explicit, or otherwise inappropriate, or use automated tools to submit content or interact with the Website without prior written consent.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, PinScene, 7H Ventures LLC, and their owners, operators, affiliates, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or financial damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, business opportunities, data inaccuracies, service interruptions, personal injury, or unauthorized access to user data, arising from or related to your use of the Website or reliance on any information provided.

The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy or reliability.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless PinScene, its affiliates, officers, and employees from claims arising out of your misuse of the Website, your submitted content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of applicable laws. This obligation is limited to claims arising from your own conduct and does not extend beyond what is reasonable under the circumstances.
Your use of the Website is subject to our Privacy Policy and Data Use Policy. For residents of certain jurisdictions, including California and the European Economic Area, additional data rights may apply under CCPA, CPRA, or GDPR. Users may request deletion of their account and associated personal data by visiting the Data Deletion page or contacting [email protected].

These Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to conflict of law rules. This section applies only when arbitration is unavailable or inapplicable, including for users who have validly opted out of arbitration, claims eligible for small claims court, and requests for emergency injunctive or equitable relief. In such cases, disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the state courts of Gwinnett County, Georgia, or the United States District Court serving Gwinnett County, Georgia. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Website, or services provided by PinScene shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding online arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if they qualify, or seek emergency injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to preserve the status quo pending arbitration.
Arbitration shall be conducted through New Era ADR under its applicable online arbitration rules, and shall be conducted remotely via written submissions, video conference, or other electronic means. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration provision. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in Gwinnett County, Georgia.
Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally by contacting [email protected] and providing a written description of the issue. The parties agree to engage in good faith discussions for at least 30 days before commencing arbitration.
You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings shall be conducted only on an individual basis and not as a class, consolidated, representative, or collective action. You waive any right to participate in a class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims of more than one individual and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and PinScene knowingly and voluntarily waive the right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Website.
Each party shall bear its own attorneys' fees and costs unless otherwise required by law. Administrative fees shall be allocated in accordance with the rules of New Era ADR. PinScene reserves the right to subsidize reasonable administrative fees to ensure accessibility of the arbitration process.
You may opt out of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to [email protected]. Your notice must include your name, the email address associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, the Governing Law and Venue section shall control.
We may modify these Terms from time to time. For material changes, we will notify registered users via email prior to the change taking effect. Continued use of the Website after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
