Terms of Service
Version 2026-10-22 · Effective October 22, 2026
- You're a volunteer having fun, not an employee, and points have no cash value.
- Follow the law: never put flyers in mailboxes, respect "no soliciting" signs and private property, and don't litter.
- GETAWAY® is our registered trademark. Getaway LLC (Getaways Near Me) owns it, the game, and the flyers. You can print and hand out flyers only for the campaign they belong to.
- You let us show your player name, notes, and drop activity in the game and in our promotion.
- We collect your email and the locations of drops you log, and use them to run the game.
1. Agreeing to these terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Getaway LLC, a Florida limited liability company doing business as Getaways Near Me ("GNM," "we," "us") for Getaway Drops at drop.getawaysnearme.com (the "Game"). By checking the box when you join, or by using the Game, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Game.
2. Who can play
You must be at least 18 years old to play. By joining you confirm you are 18 or older and able to agree to these Terms.
3. Your account
- One account per person. Your account is personal and can't be shared, sold, or transferred.
- Keep your 6-character sign-in code private. Anyone with it can play as you, and you're responsible for activity on your account.
- You can be signed in on one device at a time. Signing in somewhere new signs you out elsewhere.
- Pick a player name that isn't offensive, misleading, or someone else's name or brand. We may change or remove names that break this rule.
4. Volunteer participation
Playing the Game is voluntary. Playing does not make you an employee, contractor, agent, partner of GNM and you are not entitled to wages or benefits for playing. You can't make promises or sign agreements on anyone's behalf.
If you have a separate written agreement to be paid for street team work, that agreement governs your pay and controls if it conflicts with these Terms.
5. Drop rules and conduct
When you hand out or post flyers, you agree to:
- Never put flyers in or on mailboxes. Federal law only allows postage-paid mail there. Use door handles, screen doors, or community boards instead.
- Follow all local laws on posting, handbills, and soliciting, including rules against flyers on car windshields where they apply.
- Respect "No soliciting," "No trespassing," and "No flyers" signs, gated communities, and any request to leave.
- Ask before leaving flyers at a business, and only post on community boards where posting is allowed.
- Leave nothing loose to blow away, and pick up any flyer that falls.
- Be courteous. No harassment, threats, or arguing with residents or businesses.
To keep the Game fair, you agree not to:
- Log drops you didn't make, inflate flyer counts, or fake or spoof your location.
- Use more than one account, bots, scripts, or any tool that automates play.
- Generate fake QR scans or share-link clicks.
- Interfere with, probe, or overload the Game or other players' accounts.
6. Points, leaderboards, and rewards
- Points, zones, badges, and leaderboard positions are for fun and recognition. They have no cash value and can't be sold, traded, or exchanged.
- We may adjust scoring rules, correct mistakes, and remove points earned by breaking these Terms.
- Any prize or reward is offered only under the specific rules announced for that campaign. If a reward has value, you're responsible for any taxes, and we may ask for information needed to deliver it.
- We decide disputes about points, rankings, and rewards, and those decisions are final.
7. Intellectual property and content license
What GNM owns. GNM (or its licensors, including event hosts) owns the Game and everything in it: the software, design, scoring system, the GETAWAY® trademark and every name and logo that uses it (including Getaway Drops and Getaways Near Me), event names and artwork, flyer designs, QR codes, maps and zone data we create, and all related content ("GNM Materials"). These are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Except for the limited license below, you get no rights in GNM Materials.
The GETAWAY® registered trademark. GETAWAY is a registered trademark of Getaway LLC, registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. You may not use "Getaway" or anything confusingly similar in a business name, social media handle, domain, event, product, or crew name, or in any way that suggests you speak for or are endorsed by GNM, except as part of the official flyers you hand out. Any goodwill from use of the mark belongs to Getaway LLC.
Your limited license to use flyers. While you're in good standing, GNM gives you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to print and hand out the flyers and QR codes the Game provides, only to promote the campaign they belong to, and only as provided. You may not:
- edit, crop, recolor, or add to a flyer or QR code, or create your own flyers or merchandise using GNM or host names, logos, or artwork;
- use GNM Materials for any other event, business, cause, or personal purpose, or in a way that suggests GNM or a host endorses you or anything else;
- sell, sublicense, or distribute GNM Materials except by handing out flyers as part of a campaign;
- copy, reverse engineer, scrape, or build a competing product from the Game.
This license ends automatically when your account ends or when we ask you to stop.
Your content. "Your Content" means what you add to the Game: your player name, crew, drop notes, and any other text or media you submit. You keep any ownership you have in Your Content. You grant GNM and its partners a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, copy, store, display, modify (for example, to resize or shorten it), and distribute Your Content to run, improve, and promote the Game and GNM events. This includes showing your player name, crew, points, and badges on leaderboards and in GNM marketing. You confirm you have the right to share Your Content and that it doesn't break any law or anyone else's rights.
Game data. Drop records, zone maps, scan and click counts, and the statistics built from them are a compilation owned by GNM. We may use them, including in aggregated form, to run campaigns, report to event hosts and partners, and plan future events.
Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them freely without paying or crediting you.
Map data. Maps use OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License. Those rights belong to their owners, not GNM.
Reporting infringement. If you believe something in the Game infringes your rights, email us (section 15) with the details and we'll review it.
8. Privacy and location data
- What we collect: your email (to send your sign-in code and invites), your player name and crew, the drops you log (location, time, spot type, flyer count, and notes), and QR scans and share-link clicks credited to you.
- Location: your location is read only when you log a drop, to place it on the map and score zones. Drop locations are shown on the in-game map.
- How we use it: to run the Game, score points, prevent cheating, share campaign results with event hosts and partners, and contact you about the Game and GNM events. We don't sell your personal information.
- Email: sign-in codes are sent through our email provider. You can ask us to stop non-essential emails at any time.
- Your choices: you can ask us to update or delete your account and personal information by emailing us. Some anonymized game data may be kept.
9. Safety and assumption of risk
Handing out flyers means walking, biking, or driving in public places, near traffic, in all kinds of weather, and around strangers and animals. You choose where, when, and how you play, and you accept the risks that come with it. Stay aware of your surroundings, never play while driving, avoid unsafe areas, and stop if you feel unsafe. GNM does not supervise your activity.
10. Suspension and ending your account
You can stop playing at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or end any account, remove points, or block access if we believe you broke these Terms or the law, or to protect players, hosts, residents, or GNM. We may also change, pause, or end the Game or any campaign at any time.
11. Disclaimers and limits of liability
The Game is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't promise the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate, or that points or data will never be lost.
To the fullest extent the law allows, GNM and its owners, hosts, partners, and volunteers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your participation, including activity while handing out flyers. Our total liability for any claim related to the Game is limited to $100.
Some places don't allow certain limits, so some of these may not apply to you.
12. Indemnity
You agree to defend and hold harmless GNM and its owners, hosts, and partners from claims, fines, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that arise from your breaking these Terms or the law, Your Content, or how you handed out or posted flyers.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Miami, Florida, and you agree to that location. Before filing a claim, please email us so we can try to resolve it informally.
14. Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms. When we make important changes, we'll update the version date above and ask you to accept the new Terms in the Game before you keep playing. If you don't accept, you can stop playing and ask us to delete your account.
