Acceptable Use & Event Responsibility

way-point is event software, operated by Waypoint.io LLC, and we provide the tools that make a meet work: scheduling, RSVPs, location controls, announcements, photos, and rosters.

We do not run events. We neither host them, promote them, nor control them, and we are not present at them. The organizer who creates an event owns that event in every respect, which includes the venue, the crowd, the conduct of the people who attend, and compliance with the law. When you attend a meet you found on way-point, you are dealing with its organizer rather than with us.

Our Terms of Service incorporate this policy by reference, so it forms part of your agreement with us, and a breach of this policy is a breach of that agreement.

way-point is an adults-only service, and you must be 18 or older to use it. That requirement covers every part of the service, including creating an account, RSVPing to a meet, and posting content, and there is no version of way-point for minors. If you believe that a member is under 18, tell us, and we will close that account.

way-point does not condone street takeovers, and it never hosts them. None of the following is permitted on way-point, whether as an event or as content:

• Street takeovers and sideshows.
• Blocking roads, intersections, or highways.
• Burnouts, donuts, drifting, or stunts on public roads, or in any lot without the permission of its owner.
• Street racing, or any event organized as cover for it.
• Any event designed to evade the police, or to conceal who is responsible for it.

We remove events and content of this kind, we may terminate the accounts responsible for them, and we cooperate with lawful requests from law enforcement. States are writing these prohibitions into law: North Carolina's street-takeover statute took effect in December 2023, and some statutes now reach organizers and spectators rather than drivers alone.

Before an event goes live, the organizer must hold the permission of the property owner or manager for the venue listed.

The app enforces this requirement: the create flow obliges the organizer to confirm that the venue is sanctioned, and we record who confirmed and when. Moving an event to a new venue voids that record, so the edit must confirm permission again, and the venue-confirmed marker each meet carries is built from this record.

way-point relies on these confirmations, because we cannot inspect a lot and we do not pretend to. An organizer who confirms falsely, whether by misrepresenting the permission they hold or by listing an event at a venue that never allowed it, breaches this policy and acts on their own responsibility. That event, and everything that follows from it, is the responsibility of that organizer alone. A false confirmation is a serious breach: the event is removed, and repeated or severe cases result in termination of the account.

• Obtain the permission of the venue before publishing an event, and keep that permission current.
• Comply with the law, including local event rules and state statutes on takeovers and exhibition driving.
• Set an honest capacity and respect it, because the capacity limit is what keeps the lot workable.
• Obtain any permits or insurance that the event requires.
• Run the event, and manage attendee conduct at it, which remains the organizer's responsibility.
• Use the location controls as they are designed to be used.

Attendees must not engage in takeover behavior at or around a meet, which includes burnouts, blocking traffic, and stunts of any kind. Organizers may remove a person from an event or from a club, and way-point may remove that person from the service altogether.

A meet works when the people at it feel safe, so the rules below apply to every part of way-point: posts, photos, comments, club pages, and your profile.

• No threats, no stalking, and no harassment, and leave a member alone once they ask you to.
• Do not post a person's home address, phone number, or workplace without their permission.
• No hate speech and no slurs, including any directed at race, religion, sex, gender, or disability.
• No sexual content, and nothing sexual involving a child, ever. We report any such material to the authorities.
• Do not impersonate another person, club, or brand.

We built the gated reveal so that a spot stays with the people who RSVP, and everything else you learn here deserves the same discretion.

Your photos and posts remain yours, and we claim no ownership of them.

So that the app can work, you grant us the right to store, display, and resize what you post, which covers thumbnails, flyers, and the cards members share. The license is royalty-free, and it lasts for as long as your content sits on way-point. Delete the content and the license ends, although copies may remain in backups for a short period.

Post only what is yours to post: do not post a photograph taken by somebody else without their permission, and do not post a logo or a brand mark that you have no right to use.

If you believe that we are hosting your work without your permission, email hello@way-point.io and tell us what the work is, where it sits on way-point, and how to reach you. We will review the claim, and we will take the work down where the claim holds up.

Some meets keep the exact spot hidden until you RSVP, and that address is for you rather than for the internet: do not post it, text it out, or pass it to anyone outside the meet. This obligation applies to every member, whether or not they are an organizer.

• No spam. Club posts and announcements are for the club, not for advertising.
• Do not scrape way-point, and do not copy it in bulk.
• No bots, and no fake accounts.
• Do not circumvent a plan limit or a paywall.
• Do not probe the service, break into it, or attempt to overload it.

way-point is not a marketplace, and we do not sell cars, parts, or tickets.

Handing over a build transfers a page rather than a car: it moves the record of that build to a new owner on way-point, and it does nothing more. The money, the title, and the car itself remain matters between the two of you, so inspect the car and check the paperwork. We are not a party to the transaction, and we cannot remedy one that goes wrong.

Cars, lots, and crowds carry risk, and you attend a meet at your own risk.

way-point does not run, staff, inspect, or insure any event, and we carry no insurance for one. We do not check the lot, the cars, or the people who show up, so if you are injured, or your car is damaged, that is a matter between you and the organizer. Our Terms of Service set out the release you agree to.

To the fullest extent the law allows, way-point is not liable for what organizers or attendees do, whether at an event or around it. We rely in good faith on the confirmations organizers give us. Organizers own the events they publish, and they agree to indemnify way-point against claims arising from those events or from their breach of this policy. Our Terms of Service carry the binding form of these clauses.

If you see something that breaks this policy, report it to hello@way-point.io, whether it is an unsanctioned lot, a takeover crowd, a false venue confirmation, or a member treating other people badly.

We read the reports we receive, and we act on the ones we can: we may take down events and content, we may suspend or terminate accounts, we may notify the authorities where the law requires it, and we may act without notice where safety demands it.

We do not pre-screen what members post. Nothing in this policy makes us the judge of what people say, and nothing in it promises that we will act on any particular report. We may refuse service to anyone, and we may change or discontinue the service at any time.
