Chopscape LLC

Terms & Conditions

Last updated 3 August 2026 · Effective 3 August 2026 · Version 1.2

These terms govern bookings and participation at Chopscape LLC, 1906 Oceanside Blvd, Ste UV, Oceanside, California 92054 (“Chopscape”, “we”, “us”). By booking, entering the venue, or taking part you accept them. Chopscape LLC is a separate and independent legal entity from Jardine Entertainment LLC (d/b/a RageScape), which operates other attractions at the same street address; these terms cover Chopscape activities only.

1. Booking and payment

• Bookings are made through our booking page and are paid in full at the time of booking.
• Per guest: axe throwing from $25 Tuesday–Wednesday and $30 Thursday–Sunday; line dance lessons $15; dance plus axe throwing $25.
• One lane holds up to 4 throwers for 60 minutes. Larger groups book additional lanes.
• Prices include a mandatory safety briefing and a scoring guide. The price shown when you book is the price you pay.
• Your booking is for a specific lane and time. We cannot guarantee a particular lane.

2. Changes, cancellations and no-shows

• More than 12 hours before your session: cancel or reschedule online for a full refund.
• Within 12 hours: we will move you to another time once, subject to availability. Refunds inside this window are at our discretion.
• Late arrival: your lane is held for 15 minutes past your start time. Sessions cannot be extended to make up lost time, because the lane is booked after you.
• No-show: non-refundable.
• If we cancel — equipment, staffing, weather, power — you choose a full refund or a free reschedule.
• Group bookings of three or more lanes require 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule, because they take out most of the venue.

3. Age requirements

• Minimum age to throw is 13.
• Anyone under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian present in the venue for the whole session, who signs the waiver on their behalf and supervises them.
• Anyone 18 or over signs their own waiver and cannot be listed as a minor on someone else’s.
• We may ask for photo ID to confirm age, and may refuse participation if we cannot verify it.
• Children under 13 may not enter the throwing lanes at any time, including as spectators.

4. Waivers

Every participant, and anyone entering the throwing lanes, must sign our liability waiver before taking part. Sign in advance at chopscape.com/waiver or at the front desk on arrival; it takes about two minutes. No waiver, no throwing. If you decline to sign on arrival, the session is not refunded.

5. Safety rules

• Closed-toe shoes are required. No exceptions. Open-toe footwear means no lane access.
• Follow staff instructions at all times. Our staff have final say on the lanes.
• One thrower in a lane at a time. Never cross into a lane, or retrieve an axe, until the lane is called clear.
• Throw only the axes we provide, only at the target, only from the throwing line.
• Tie back long hair. We recommend avoiding loose jewellery, scarves and long open sleeves.
• Spectators must remain behind the marked line and outside the lane enclosure.
• Report any damaged axe, board or fitting to staff immediately rather than continuing.

Failure to follow these rules may result in immediate removal from the venue without a refund.

Alcohol-free venue and impairment

• Chopscape is an alcohol-free venue. We do not serve alcohol, and alcohol may not be brought onto or consumed anywhere on the premises.
• We do not permit anyone to throw who appears to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This is a safety rule applied at staff discretion, not a judgement.
• Guests who arrive impaired, or who bring alcohol onto the premises, may be refused entry or asked to leave.
• Food and drink never enter a live lane. Keep them on the tables provided.
• If you are turned away or stopped on this basis, the session is not refunded. Please plan accordingly.

Right to refuse or end a session

Staff and building management may refuse entry, refuse service, or end a session at any time if they believe someone may pose a risk to themselves, to other guests, to staff, or to the business. This includes intoxication, aggression, ignoring staff instructions, or misuse of equipment. No refund is given where a session is ended for conduct or safety reasons.

6. Groups, parties and private events

Group and private bookings may require a deposit and are subject to the 48-hour cancellation window in section 2. Terms specific to your event will be confirmed in writing at the time of booking, and those confirmed terms take precedence over this section where they differ. Every guest in a group still signs their own waiver.

7. Personal property and damage

Keep your belongings with you. We are not responsible for loss of, theft of, or damage to personal property brought to the venue. You are responsible for the cost of damage you cause to our equipment or premises beyond normal wear, including damage caused while ignoring safety instructions.

8. Photography and media

We may take photographs or video at the venue for our own promotion. The waiver includes a media release you may decline without affecting your ability to participate. If you decline and still appear in something we publish, tell us and we will remove it.

9. Assumption of risk and limitation of liability

Axe throwing is an inherently risky activity involving heavy bladed implements. The full assumption-of-risk and release language is in the waiver you sign, and that document governs the relationship between us.

To the fullest extent permitted by California law, Chopscape LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your visit, and our total liability for any claim connected to a booking will not exceed the amount you paid for that booking.

Nothing in these terms limits liability for gross negligence, recklessness, wilful misconduct, fraud, or personal injury caused by our violation of law. California Civil Code § 1668 does not permit that, and we are not attempting it.

10. Gift cards and promotions

Gift cards do not expire and are not redeemable for cash, except that California law permits cash redemption of balances under $10. Promotional offers cannot be combined unless stated, have no cash value, and may be withdrawn at any time before purchase.

11. Website

Content on this site belongs to Chopscape LLC and may not be reproduced commercially without permission. We aim to keep hours, prices and availability accurate, but the booking system is the authority on what is actually available. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

12. Resolving problems

If something goes wrong, please contact us first at info@chopscape.com. Most issues are resolved quickly and directly, and we would rather hear about it than not.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute not resolved informally will be brought in the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction. Nothing here prevents either party from bringing a claim in small claims court.

13. General

• Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce a term on one occasion, that does not waive our right to enforce it later.
• Force majeure. We are not liable for failure to perform due to events beyond our reasonable control, including fire, flood, power failure, public-health orders or government action. In those cases you may reschedule or receive a refund.
• Assignment. You may not transfer your booking to a third party for resale.
• Entire agreement. These terms, together with the signed waiver and any written terms confirmed for a group event, form the whole agreement between us.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. The version in force is the one published here at the time you book, identified by the version number at the top of this page.
