Terms of Service

Capture Ski is operated by Capture Studio Ltd, company number [COMPANY NUMBER], registered at [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. You can reach us at info@capture-studio.com.

By creating an account, or by using Capture Ski, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with them, do not create an account and do not use the service.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of this agreement and explains how we handle your personal data.

You must be at least 16 years old to hold an account. By creating one you confirm that you are. If we find that an account holder is under 16, we will close the account and delete the data associated with it.

You must also be legally able to enter into a contract, and not prohibited from using the service under any applicable law or sanctions regime.

Capture Ski records short video clips of you as you ski or ride past fixed cameras installed at participating resorts, delivers those clips to your phone, and adds automated statistics, trick scoring and coaching tips. It also provides run tracking, personal statistics, challenges and friend features.

We only operate where a resort has signed up. Zones may open, close, move, or be switched off outside operating hours, for weather, or for safety.

• /Give accurate information when you sign up, and keep it up to date.
• /One account per person. Do not share your login, and do not let someone else ride under your account.
• /Keep your password secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account until you tell us it has been compromised.
• /Tell us promptly at info@capture-studio.com if you think someone else has access to your account.
• /Resort staff accounts are issued by invitation and may only be used for that resort’s legitimate operations.

You agree not to:

• /Harass, threaten, impersonate or abuse anyone through the service, including through handles, profile content, challenge entries or shared clips.
• /Scrape, crawl, bulk-download or systematically extract content or data from the service.
• /Reverse engineer, decompile or attempt to derive the source code of the app, the camera firmware, or our backend, except to the extent that applicable law expressly permits it.
• /Interfere with, tamper with, obstruct or damage resort hardware, cameras or beacons.
• /Attempt to trigger captures for someone else, spoof your location, or otherwise game statistics, leaderboards or challenges.
• /Share, publish or repost a clip that features another identifiable person without their consent.
• /Use the service for anything unlawful, or in a way that puts you or anyone else in danger.
• /Circumvent access controls, probe our security, or use the service to distribute malware.
• /Resell or commercially exploit access to the service without our written agreement.

We may remove content or suspend an account that breaches this section. Where it is proportionate to do so, we will warn you first.

You own your captures

Clips of you, and the statistics and mechanics derived from your rides, are yours. We do not claim ownership of them, and nothing in these terms transfers ownership to us.

The operating licence

To actually deliver the service we need permission to handle your content. You grant Capture Studio Ltd a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, back up, transcode, encode, thumbnail, analyse and display your content, and to transmit it to you and to anyone you choose to share it with. This licence exists solely for the purpose of operating, securing and improving the service and lasts only as long as we hold the content.

AI processing

Ten still frames from your clip, together with the zone type, your stated skill level and four figures derived from your phone's motion sensors (rotation, peak rotation rate, air time and landing impact), are sent to our AI provider (Anthropic, in the United States) so that a trick can be recognised, a score produced, and a coaching tip written. This is automated. Your heart rate and any other health data are never included. Our provider is contractually prohibited from using what we send to train its models. Section 4 and section 5 of our Privacy Policy set out the transfer safeguards.

Marketing use is separate, and opt-in

Revoking the licence

Delete a capture and the licence over it ends. We will remove it from the service and from our backups within our normal backup rotation. Copies that you or someone else has already downloaded or reposted elsewhere are outside our control, and anything already published under a separate marketing consent may remain in materials that are already in circulation.

Other people's content

If a clip of yours contains another identifiable person, you are responsible for having their agreement before you share it. If you believe a clip infringes your rights or features you without your agreement, write to info@capture-studio.com and we will deal with it.

Resorts fund the capture network in part through sponsorship. Clips and share-renders produced at a resort may carry that resort's sponsor branding — normally a strip along the bottom of the frame, and occasionally a short branded slate. The resort chooses its sponsors, subject to our approval.

Sponsor branding does not imply that you endorse the sponsor, and we do not pass your identity to sponsors. We report impressions to a resort and its sponsors in aggregate only.

The service is built on third-party infrastructure: Google Firebase for authentication, database, storage and push; Google Maps for mapping; Anthropic for AI scoring; Resend for email; Expo for push delivery and app updates; Vercel for web hosting; Open-Meteo for weather. Your use of the service is also subject to the terms of your device platform (Google Play or Apple), your mobile network, and — while you are on the mountain — the resort's own conditions of carriage and piste rules. We are not responsible for those third parties' services, but we are responsible for choosing them and for the contracts we hold with them.

Capture Ski is in beta and pilot operation. Features may be added, changed, limited or removed, and the service may be unavailable for maintenance, at a resort's request, or because something has broken. We aim to give notice of significant changes but cannot always do so in advance.

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will notify you by email or in the app before it takes effect, and the version number and date at the top of this page will change. Continuing to use the service after a change takes effect means you accept the updated terms; if you do not accept them, you can close your account.

By you

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time, in the app under Settings → Privacy, or in the web rider portal under Account Settings → Your data. Deletion runs after a 30-day grace period during which you can cancel it.

By us

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these terms, if we are required to by law, if your resort's programme ends, or if we discontinue the service. Except where a serious breach or a legal obligation makes it impossible, we will give you reasonable notice and an opportunity to export your data first.

What happens to your data

On termination your account, clips, sessions and derived statistics are deleted in line with our Privacy Policy — normally within 30 days, save for anything we are legally required to keep and for aggregated, non-identifying analytics that no longer relate to you. Export your data before you delete your account if you want to keep it.

Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. If you are a consumer, you keep all of your statutory rights under UK and EU consumer law, and nothing here affects them.

Subject to that, and as far as the law permits:

• /We provide the service on an "as is" and "as available" basis, and we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any given run will be captured.
• /We are not liable for loss of profit, loss of business, loss of opportunity, or loss of anticipated savings.
• /We are not liable for the loss or corruption of clips, statistics or other content, beyond restoring what we can from backup. Keep your own copy of anything you care about.
• /We are not liable for injury or loss arising from your own decisions on the mountain, from resort conditions, or from the acts of other riders or of the resort.
• /We are not liable for failures caused by events outside our reasonable control, including weather, power and network outages, and resort hardware failure.
• /Where a financial cap applies, our total liability to you in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the service in that period and £100.

These terms and any dispute arising out of them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of that country.
