Terms of Service

Raptor Roost provides access to a private launch-viewing venue near the Starbase launch site in South Texas, along with on-site amenities that may include camping/lodging, food, and entertainment. Amenities are subject to availability and change.

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a ticket. Minors may attend only when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who accepts responsibility for them and completes the waiver on their behalf.

Ticket prices are listed in U.S. dollars and are charged at checkout through our payment processor, Stripe. You are responsible for any applicable taxes. All bookings are subject to these Terms and to availability.

Launches are not controlled by Raptor Roost. Rocket launches are scheduled and operated by third parties and are frequently delayed, rescheduled, scrubbed, or canceled — often on short notice and for reasons outside our control (weather, technical holds, regulatory decisions, etc.). We do not guarantee that a launch will occur on any particular date or at all.

If a launch is delayed or scrubbed, [describe your policy — e.g., “your ticket remains valid and may be applied to a future launch event, subject to availability”]. [Confirm this policy with the owner.]

[Insert your refund and cancellation policy here. Example starting language, to be confirmed: “All ticket sales are final. If Raptor Roost cancels an event entirely, you will be offered a rebooking for a future event or a refund. Delays or scrubs of the rocket launch itself are not grounds for a refund; see Section 4.”] This section must reflect the owner's actual policy and be reviewed before publishing.

Every guest — including a parent or guardian for each minor — must complete and sign our liability waiver before entering the property. Entry may be denied to anyone who has not signed the waiver, and no refund will be given for failure to complete it.

While on the property, you agree to follow all posted rules and staff instructions, including our “pack in, pack out” waste policy. Raptor Roost is a dry-camping site; you are responsible for your own food and beverages. We may remove anyone whose conduct is unsafe or disruptive, without refund.

Attending a launch-viewing event involves inherent risks, which you acknowledge and assume as described in the liability waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Raptor Roost and its owners, employees, and affiliates are not liable for any injury, loss, or damage arising from your attendance. [Have counsel confirm the limitation-of-liability language.]

Photography and video may be captured at events. By attending, you grant Raptor Roost the right to use images or recordings that include your likeness for promotional and marketing purposes, as further described in the waiver.

Raptor Roost is an independent business and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SpaceX or Space Exploration Technologies Corp.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes are effective when posted, and we will update the “Last updated” date above.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in [insert county], Texas.
