By accessing or using AmusementRating.org ("Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). The Platform is operated by Amusement Standards LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a New Jersey limited liability company with offices in Asbury Park, NJ 07712. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Platform.
AmusementRating.org is an independent, crowdsourced guest-experience ratings platform for the U.S. amusement and attractions industry. The Platform allows registered users ("Auditors") to log ride experiences, complete standardized facility observation checklists, earn experience points ("XP"), unlock badges, and contribute to public leaderboards and facility ratings.
The Platform is permanently independent from any amusement park operator, manufacturer, insurer, or trade association. Ratings, scores, and leaderboard rankings reflect crowdsourced guest observations and are not endorsements, certifications, or safety guarantees.
To use certain features of the Platform, you must create a free account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to keep your account information up to date. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. You may not create multiple accounts, impersonate another person, or share your account with others. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
You agree not to:
By submitting ride logs, audit checklists, photos, notes, or any other content ("User Content") through the Platform, you retain ownership of your User Content. However, you grant Company a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, distribute, and display your User Content for the purposes of:
You acknowledge and agree that aggregated and anonymized data derived from Platform activity — including but not limited to facility-level ratings, audit pillar scores, audit completion rates, and trend data — may be provided to the AS 360 platform as an external validation data stream. Individual user identities are never shared with AS 360 clients. The aggregated data is used to enhance the accuracy and depth of facility risk assessments in the attractions industry.
The Platform remains structurally and operationally independent from AS 360. The data relationship is one-directional: the Platform feeds data to AS 360, but AS 360 does not influence, alter, or control Platform ratings, leaderboards, or user experiences.
Photos submitted as part of ride logs or audits are used for verification purposes. You represent that you have the right to submit any photos you upload and that they do not infringe on any third party's intellectual property or privacy rights. You grant Company the same license described in Section 5a for all photo content.

Merchandise prices include the item cost; shipping and applicable sales tax will be calculated at checkout. Merchandise is fulfilled by Company or its designated third-party fulfillment partners. By purchasing merchandise, you agree to provide accurate shipping information and acknowledge that Company is not responsible for packages lost or damaged by carriers after shipment.
The Platform may host contests, leaderboard competitions, and other promotional events from time to time. Each contest or promotion will be governed by its own Official Rules, which will be posted on the Platform. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any contest's Official Rules, the Official Rules for that specific contest will control. See our current Spring 2026 Contest Official Rules.
