Terms of Service

StrataWeather provides weather forecasts, radar-based rain forecasts, weather alerts and long-term natural-hazard estimates. They are produced from observations and forecast models published by government and research agencies, and from our own processing of them.

Please read this section carefully.

• Forecasts can be wrong, and they are less reliable the further ahead they look.
• Alerts and notifications can arrive late or not at all. They depend on your device, your network, your notification settings and our systems all working.
• Do not rely on StrataWeather as your only source of information for decisions that affect safety, health or property. Follow the warnings and instructions of your national weather service and local authorities.
• Natural-hazard figures are statistical estimates from historical records. They are not an insurance, engineering or legal assessment of any property.

StrataWeather is not an emergency service.

You do not need an account to use the service. If you create one, use an email address that is yours, and keep access to it secure: your email or Google account is how you sign in. You are responsible for what is done through your account.

You can stop using your account at any time and ask us to delete it. The Privacy Policy explains what an account stores.

StrataWeather is free to use today. Free accounts are limited in how many places they can save and which alerts they can set. If we introduce paid plans, we will show the price and the terms before you are charged.

When you use the service, do not:

• Break the law or other people's rights.
• Try to get into systems or accounts you are not authorised to use.
• Disrupt the service, or send it so many requests that it degrades for others.
• Present StrataWeather forecasts or alerts as official warnings from a government agency.

The StrataWeather software, design, name and logo belong to Aarkc Software. The observations and model output the forecasts are built from are published by their sources under their own terms.

The places, labels and alert rules you save are yours. We use them only to provide the service to you.

Parts of the service are reached through other companies: the app stores, Google sign-in and ChatGPT. Their own terms apply to your use of them.

The service is provided as it is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. We do not warrant that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or free of errors.

To the extent the law allows, Aarkc Software is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for any loss that results from relying on a forecast, an alert or a hazard estimate from the service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You can stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, and we may change or discontinue the service.

When these terms change we will publish the new version here and change the date at the top. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the new terms.
