Terms of Service

Last updated: May 11, 2026

These Terms govern your use of sitstayplay.app (the “Service”), operated by Stephen Bridges (“we,” “us”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Service.

1. Who can use SitStayPlay

You must be at least 13 years old. You agree to provide accurate information when creating an account and to keep it accurate. You’re responsible for everything that happens under your account, including content you post.

2. The Service

SitStayPlay aggregates venue information from Google Places, OpenStreetMap, and direct submissions to help you find dog-friendly bars, restaurants, parks, beaches, hotels, and services. We classify each venue with tags (dog-centric, dog-friendly, off-leash, etc.) using a mix of automated rules and human curation.

Important disclaimer: Our tags and classifications are best-effort and may be incorrect or out of date. Always confirm with the venue before bringing a dog. Off-leash, dog-menu, and similar flags reflect what we’ve observed, not legally binding promises by the venue.

3. Your content

When you submit reviews, photos, check-ins, dog profiles, or venue suggestions, you keep ownership but grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and adapt that content within the Service and our marketing. You represent that you have the right to post what you post and that it doesn’t infringe anyone else’s rights.

4. Acceptable use

Don’t do any of these:

  • Post content that’s illegal, abusive, harassing, defamatory, sexually explicit, or promotes violence or hate.
  • Submit false reviews or impersonate someone else.
  • Scrape or copy our venue data in bulk for republishing on a competing service.
  • Reverse-engineer the Service or attempt to access data you’re not authorized to see.
  • Use the Service to harm a venue or a person.
  • Bypass rate limits, security controls, or attempt to overload the Service.

We can remove content or suspend accounts that violate these rules at our discretion.

5. Venue managers and premium subscriptions

Premium venues are placed on the Service by their managers under a paid subscription. As a venue manager you agree:

  • You have authority to represent the venue.
  • Information you publish (photos, events, vaccination email) is accurate.
  • You handle vaccination records collected through the Service in accordance with applicable laws.
  • Subscriptions renew monthly until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your venue dashboard. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; no pro-rated refunds.
  • We can pause or terminate premium placement if a venue violates these Terms.

6. Third-party services

Venue data shown on the Service originates partly from Google Places and OpenStreetMap. We don’t control those sources and aren’t responsible for inaccuracies in their data. Use of Google Maps within the Service is subject to Google Maps Terms. Payments are processed by Stripe, subject to Stripe’s terms.

7. Intellectual property

The Service — including the design, code, classification system, and curated venue selections — is owned by us. You may use the Service as it’s designed but you can’t copy, modify, or redistribute it without permission.

8. Termination

You can delete your account at any time by emailing hello@sitstayplay.app. We can suspend or terminate access if you violate these Terms or if continued service becomes impractical. Sections that should reasonably survive termination (content license, disclaimers, liability limits, governing law) survive.

9. Warranties and disclaimers

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim all warranties to the maximum extent allowed by law — no warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or uninterrupted availability. Dog welcomeness, off-leash status, and menu items shown on the Service may not match reality at any given moment. Always confirm with the venue.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we won’t be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, even if advised of the possibility. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the greater of (a) US$50 or (b) the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your content, your use of the Service in violation of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, USA. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Hillsborough County, Florida, and you consent to jurisdiction there.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. Material changes will be announced on the homepage and reflected in the “Last updated” date. Continued use after a change means you accept the new Terms.
