Terms of Service

By using ISOBARIC (“the App”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

1. Nature of the Service

ISOBARIC is a weather data visualization tool. It displays radar imagery, weather forecasts, and severe weather alerts sourced from public government APIs. The free tier displays banner advertisements via Google AdMob. An optional in-app payment removes all advertisements.

2. No Warranty

The App is provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, express or implied. Weather data may be delayed, inaccurate, incomplete, or unavailable. The App does not guarantee the timeliness, accuracy, or reliability of any weather information, radar imagery, or alert notifications.

3. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ISOBARIC and its developers shall not be liable for any damages — including but not limited to personal injury, property damage, economic loss, or consequential damages — arising from your use of or reliance on the App, including:

• Missed or delayed severe weather alerts (push notifications depend on network availability and your device state)
• Inaccurate or incomplete weather forecasts
• Decisions made based on displayed radar imagery
• Service interruptions or API unavailability
• Any errors or omissions in the data displayed

You acknowledge that weather is inherently unpredictable and that the App is a supplemental tool only. It is not a substitute for official emergency alert systems, NOAA Weather Radio, or professional meteorological advice.

4. Third-Party Services

The App relies on third-party APIs and services (National Weather Service, NOAA GeoServer, Iowa State Mesonet, Google AdMob, Firebase Cloud Messaging) which may change, become unavailable, or impose rate limits at any time. The App is not responsible for the availability or accuracy of these third-party services.

Advertisements in the free tier are served by Google AdMob and are subject to Google’s privacy and advertising policies. You may remove all ads at any time via the Paid toggle in Settings.

5. Payments and Subscriptions

The Paid feature is a one-time in-app purchase that removes advertisements. Payment is processed entirely by Google Play and is subject to Google’s refund policies. The App itself does not process, store, or transmit any payment information.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

• Use the App for safety-of-life or mission-critical applications
• Attempt to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract the App’s source code
• Use automated means to scrape or overload the App or its API endpoints
• Violate the terms of service of any third-party API used by the App

7. Intellectual Property

The App’s code, design, branding, and original content are protected by copyright. Weather data and radar imagery are provided by their respective owners and are subject to their own terms of use.

8. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms at any time. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically.

9. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or restrict access to the App at any time, without notice, for any reason including violation of these terms.

10. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes shall be resolved in the applicable jurisdiction.
