TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: 2026-10-21

1. Introduction

Welcome to Warnspot. These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of:

  • the website located at https://www.warnspot.com (the “Website”); and
  • the Warnspot environmental monitoring platform, including the web app, the API, alerts, and notifications (the “Service”).

The Website and the Service are operated by Warnspot Data Services (“Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), a business registered in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE WEBSITE OR THE SERVICE.

By accessing or using the Website or the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Website or the Service.

These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Website or the Service. If you and the Company have signed a separate written agreement that covers the Service, that agreement governs where it conflicts with these Terms.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old or the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use the Website or the Service. By using the Website or the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet this requirement.

3. Changes to These Terms

3.1. Updates. We may update or modify these Terms from time to time. The current version is always available at https://www.warnspot.com/terms with a “Last updated” date.

3.2. Material changes. Where we make a material change to these Terms, including any change that affects your rights, our liability, the licence granted to you, or the way we handle your information, we will tell you through the Website (and, where you are a registered user, through the Service) no later than when the change takes effect. Where applicable law requires it or where we determine in good faith that the change is significant, we will require you to actively re-accept the revised Terms (for example, by clicking an acceptance button) before continuing to use the Website or the Service. We will not rely on continued use alone as acceptance of a material change.

3.3. Non-material changes. Non-material changes (such as clarifications, typographical corrections, or updates to non-substantive references) take effect when posted, with the “Last updated” date updated to reflect the change.

3.4. Right to refuse. If you do not agree to a revised version of these Terms, your remedy is to stop accessing or using the Website or the Service.

4. Website Content

4.1. Informational Purposes. The content on the Website, including text, graphics, images, data, and other materials, is provided for general informational purposes only. Nothing on the Website constitutes professional, legal, environmental, safety, or regulatory advice.

4.2. Accuracy. While we use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the information on the Website current and accurate, we make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the Website or the information, products, services, or related graphics contained on the Website.

4.3. Environmental Data Displays. Where the Website displays environmental monitoring data, maps, alerts, or similar information for public or demonstrative purposes, such information is provided on an “as is” basis and must not be relied upon for safety, regulatory, operational, or emergency response decisions. You are solely responsible for verifying any information obtained from the Website before acting on it.

The Website, the Service, and their entire contents, features, and functionality, including but not limited to all text, graphics, logos, icons, images, data compilations, software, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, are the property of the Company or its licensors and are protected by Canadian and international copyright and other intellectual property laws.

5.2. Limited License.

22. Subscriptions, Billing, and Cancellation

22.1. Plans and fees. The Service is sold as a subscription. The current plans and prices are on the pricing page. Prices are in Canadian dollars. We bill each period in advance, either monthly or yearly, depending on the plan you choose. Where we must collect tax, we add it to the price.

22.2. Free trial. A new account starts with a 14-day trial of the full Pro plan, unless the email address has had a trial before. Each email address gets one trial. You do not need to enter a payment card to start the trial. If you add a card, the first charge runs when the trial ends. If the trial ends and no card is on file, we pause your account.

22.3. Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews at the end of each period. We charge the renewal fee to the card on file until you cancel.

22.4. Cancellation. You can cancel at any time on the billing page of the Service. Cancellation stops the next renewal. Your access continues until the end of the current paid period or trial. You can resume the subscription before that period ends.

22.5. No refunds. Fees are non-refundable. We do not give refunds or credits for a partial period, on a monthly plan or a yearly plan, except where applicable law requires a refund.

22.6. Failed payments. If a renewal payment fails, your access continues while we retry the charge. We retry about 3, 5, and 7 days after the failure. If the last retry fails, we cancel the subscription and pause your account.

22.7. Paused accounts. While your account is paused, your alert notifications are paused, and access to your data charts and to API reads is blocked. Your devices can keep writing, and we store the data they send. Alerts and data access resume when you reactivate your subscription.

22.8. Price changes. We may change the price of a plan. We will tell you at least 30 days before the new price applies, through the Service or by email. The new price applies from your next renewal after that notice. You can cancel before then.

22.9. Your data. You keep ownership of the data you send to the Service. If your subscription is cancelled or your account is paused, we may delete your data after a reasonable period. We do not promise a fixed period. Export the data you need before you cancel. If you delete your account, we delete your data as the Privacy Policy describes.

22.10. Suspension. We may suspend or close your account if you do not pay or if you break these Terms.
