Terms of use

Using Rink Buddy

Browsing Rink Buddy is free and needs no account. Gear records are compiled from public sources and each one links to the page it came from. We work to keep them accurate but can't promise every record is complete or current; pros often use pro-stock versions of retail gear. Rink Buddy is independent and not affiliated with the NHL, the NHLPA, any team or any equipment brand. Brand and model names identify products only.

Accounts

You can create a free account with your email address to follow players and get gear alerts. You must be 13 or older to create an account. Under 18, a parent or guardian must make any purchase. Sign-in works through a one-time link sent to your email; keep access to that inbox secure.

Rink Buddy Pro

• Price: $4.99 a month or $39 a year, in US dollars, plus any tax that applies. The price is shown before you pay.
• Automatic renewal: Pro is a subscription. It renews automatically at the end of each month or year and charges the payment method on file at the then-current price until you cancel. If we change the price, we'll email you at least 30 days before it applies to your next renewal.
• Free trials: if an offer includes a free trial, you won't be charged until it ends, and you can cancel before then at no cost.
• Cancel any time: sign in at rinkbuddy.com, open the Pro section and choose Manage billing, then Cancel. You keep Pro until the end of the period you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.
• Refunds: payments aren't refundable and we don't refund partial months or years, except where the law requires it. If you were charged by mistake, email us and we'll make it right.
• Payments: payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• Member deals: discount codes come from the retailers that offer them, apply on eligible items only, follow the retailer's own terms and may end at any time. A code is for your own use.

Links to stores

Some links to stores are affiliate links: we may earn a commission when you buy, at no extra cost to you. Prices and availability are set by each store.

Fair use

Don't scrape or bulk-copy the site, resell its data, or try to break or overload it. We may suspend accounts that do.

Liability

Rink Buddy is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms and will change the date above when we do; for changes that affect Pro, we'll email members first. Questions, billing or support: team@rinkbuddy.com.
