Terms of Service

1. The agreement

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Rivolu LLC ("Rivolu", "we", "us"), a company based in the United States. They cover Lighthouse (also called Lighthouse Weather) on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, its widgets and complications, the services Rivolu operates for it, and this website (together, "Lighthouse"). They are Lighthouse's end user license agreement on the App Store, and apply in place of Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement.

By downloading, installing or using Lighthouse, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, don't download or use Lighthouse. You must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement where you live, or use Lighthouse with the permission of a parent or guardian who agrees to these Terms for you.

2. Weather data notice

YOUR USE OF THIS REAL TIME WEATHER GUIDANCE APPLICATION OR WEBSITE IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WEATHER DATA MAY NOT BE ACCURATE.

Lighthouse shows forecasts, current conditions, maps and alerts from third-party weather services and official issuers. Rivolu doesn't make forecasts or issue warnings of its own. Forecasts are predictions and can differ from what actually happens. Any of this information may be inaccurate, incomplete, out of date, delayed or unavailable, because of the data itself, the way it reaches your device, signal and network problems, your device and its settings, or events beyond our control. Times, places, units, summaries and translations that Lighthouse works out from the data can be wrong too.

3. Not an emergency service

Lighthouse is not an emergency alert or warning system, and is not designed, intended or suitable for emergency or life-saving purposes. Don't rely on it to protect life, health or property, or for any decision where safety is at stake, including travel, navigation, flying, boating and other activities outdoors.

Always follow official warnings and the instructions of local authorities and emergency services, through official channels such as your device's built-in emergency alerts, radio and television. In an emergency, call your local emergency number.

4. Alerts and notifications

• Issued by others. Severe weather alerts in Lighthouse are issued by national weather agencies and other official issuers, not by Rivolu. Lighthouse may shorten, reformat or translate them, and doesn't show every alert an issuer publishes. Coverage differs from country to country, and some places have none.
• Where an alert applies. Lighthouse works out whether an alert covers a place from the issuer's area, and can be wrong, especially near an area's edges. Current Location depends on your device's location, which may be approximate, out of date or unavailable.
• Notifications. Notifications depend on your permissions and settings (such as notifications, Focus, Low Power Mode and Background App Refresh), the operating system, network connections and Apple's push notification service. They may arrive late, more than once, or not at all.
• Instant alerts. Lighthouse Pro's instant alerts work on iPhone and iPad in certain countries only, and depend on Rivolu's alert service and on the issuers' feeds. We may change, pause or end them, or the countries they cover.
• No alert is not an all-clear. If Lighthouse shows or sends no alert, that doesn't mean there is no danger.

5. Your license to use Lighthouse

Lighthouse is licensed to you, not sold. Subject to these Terms, Rivolu grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Lighthouse for your personal, non-commercial purposes on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that Lighthouse may also be accessed and used by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.

You agree not to:

• copy, modify, distribute, sell, rent, lend, lease or sublicense Lighthouse;
• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble Lighthouse, or try to derive its source code, except as far as applicable law allows despite this restriction;
• scrape, bulk download, store or redistribute weather data, maps or alerts from Lighthouse or the services it uses;
• interfere with, overload or abuse Lighthouse or Rivolu's services, including by sending them requests other than through the app, or registering devices or areas falsely;
• use Lighthouse unlawfully, or in breach of the terms of any service it uses.

This license ends automatically if you break these Terms. When it ends, you must stop using Lighthouse and delete it from your devices.

6. Lighthouse Pro

• Lighthouse Pro is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly, sold by Apple through the App Store. Its price is shown in the app before you buy, and may differ by country.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the price then in effect, unless you turn off automatic renewal at least 24 hours before the period ends. Your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends.
• You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings: on iPhone and iPad, in Settings › your name › Subscriptions; on a Mac, in the App Store › your name › Account Settings › Subscriptions. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the current period, and Lighthouse Pro stays on until then.
• Apple handles payment, billing and refunds under its own terms. Rivolu can't issue refunds; you can ask Apple for one at reportaproblem.apple.com.
• If the price changes, Apple tells you beforehand and, where its rules require, asks for your consent.
• What Lighthouse Pro includes may change over time, as the services behind its features change.

7. Third-party services

Lighthouse relies on services that Rivolu doesn't own or control, including Apple's App Store, iCloud, Maps and push notification service, and the weather data providers and alert issuers that the app names in its Credits. Their availability, accuracy and practices are their own, and they may have terms of their own. Rivolu isn't responsible for them.

You must comply with any third-party terms that apply when you use Lighthouse, such as your wireless carrier's data plan. Lighthouse uses mobile data to get the weather, and any charges from your carrier are yours.

8. Privacy

How Lighthouse handles information is described in our Privacy Policy, which also applies to your use of Lighthouse.

9. Ownership

Lighthouse, including its software, design, illustrations, name and logo, belongs to Rivolu and its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Weather data, maps and alerts belong to their providers and issuers. These Terms give you no rights in any of them beyond the license in section 5. If you send us feedback or suggestions, we may use them freely, without any obligation to you.

10. No warranty

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, LIGHTHOUSE AND ALL WEATHER DATA, FORECASTS, MAPS, ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. RIVOLU DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT LIGHTHOUSE WILL MEET YOUR NEEDS OR BE AVAILABLE, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY ALERT OR NOTIFICATION WILL BE SHOWN OR DELIVERED. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM RIVOLU OR THROUGH LIGHTHOUSE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE TERMS.

Some places don't allow implied warranties to be excluded, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

11. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL RIVOLU OR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO LIGHTHOUSE, YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE IT, ANY RELIANCE ON WEATHER DATA, FORECASTS, MAPS, ALERTS OR NOTIFICATIONS, OR ANY DELAY IN OR FAILURE OF THEIR DELIVERY, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF RIVOLU HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN NO EVENT WILL RIVOLU'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO LIGHTHOUSE EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR LIGHTHOUSE AND LIGHTHOUSE PRO IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR TWENTY-FIVE U.S. DOLLARS (US$25). THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Some places don't allow liability for personal injury, or for incidental or consequential damages, to be excluded or limited, so some of these limits may not apply to you. Where they don't, Rivolu's liability is limited to the fullest extent the law allows.

12. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Rivolu and its members, managers, employees, contractors and agents from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these Terms or your misuse of Lighthouse.

13. Apple

You and Rivolu acknowledge and agree that:

• These Terms are concluded between you and Rivolu only, and not with Apple. Rivolu, not Apple, is solely responsible for Lighthouse and its content. These Terms don't provide usage rules that conflict with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
• Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for Lighthouse. Rivolu provides support as described in these Terms (see Contact) or as required by applicable law.
• If Lighthouse fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for Lighthouse, if any, to you. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple will have no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to Lighthouse, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to any failure to conform to any warranty are Rivolu's sole responsibility, to the extent not disclaimed in these Terms.
• Rivolu, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to Lighthouse or your possession or use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that Lighthouse fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• If a third party claims that Lighthouse, or your possession and use of it, infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Rivolu, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and, upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.

14. Changes and ending

We may change, suspend or discontinue Lighthouse or any part of it, including its data sources, its features and the countries it covers, at any time. We may also update these Terms. When we do, we'll post them here with a new effective date, and for material changes we'll make reasonable efforts to let you know, for example on this website or in the app. Changes apply from their effective date, and if you keep using Lighthouse after that, you accept them. If you don't accept them, stop using Lighthouse.

You may stop using Lighthouse at any time by deleting it. The weather data notice, the sections on alerts, ownership, warranties, liability and indemnity, and the sections on governing law and general terms survive the end of these Terms.

15. Governing law

These Terms, and any dispute arising from them or from Lighthouse, are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict of law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods doesn't apply. Except where the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, disputes will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you and Rivolu consent to their jurisdiction.

Your rights as a consumer. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection or other laws that can't be waived or limited by contract.

16. General

If any part of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced as far as possible, and the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a part of these Terms isn't a waiver of it. You may not transfer these Terms; Rivolu may transfer them, including to a buyer of its business. These Terms, with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Rivolu about Lighthouse, and replace any earlier one. If they're translated, the English version controls. Headings are for convenience only.
