Terms of Service

Last updated [DATE]. Operated by [OWNER NAME], [CITY, STATE]. Contact: [EMAIL]

Have an adult (the account owner) review these terms before launch. This is a starting template, not legal advice.

1. Not a warning service

StormTrail provides weather information, estimates and AI-generated suggestions for general information only. It is not an official forecast or warning service and may be wrong, late or unavailable. Always follow the National Weather Service, local authorities and your own judgment. Storm chasing, off-road travel and visiting abandoned sites are dangerous, and you are responsible for your own safety and decisions.

2. AI answers

AI answers can be wrong. Locations, land ownership, access rights and road conditions are not verified. Don't trespass, enter mines or ignore closures.

3. Accounts

Give accurate information and keep your password safe. Users under 18 need a parent or guardian's permission, and a parent or guardian must make any purchase.

4. Subscriptions

New accounts get a free 7-day Pro trial without payment details. Pro is billed monthly or yearly through Stripe until canceled. You can cancel anytime from your account and keep Pro until the end of the paid period. Payments are non-refundable except where the law requires.

5. Fair use

AI questions are limited per day. Don't abuse, scrape, resell or try to disrupt the service; accounts that do may be suspended.

6. Availability

The service is provided as is and may be interrupted for maintenance or outages. To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for damages from using it.

7. Data sources

Weather and map data come from NOAA/NWS, SPC, the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, Open-Meteo and OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

8. Changes

We may update these terms. Using StormTrail after a change means you accept it.
