WATCHMAN Suite LLC (a North Carolina limited liability company) · [email protected]
Please read this agreement before installing or using WATCHMAN Suite. By installing, activating or using the software, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not install or use it. Refunds follow our Refund Policy: a 15-day money-back guarantee - a full refund within 15 days of purchase, for any reason.
1. Definitions
- "Software" means the WATCHMAN Suite desktop program, its modules, updates, data packs, map data and documentation.
- "License Key" means the key we issue that activates the Software.
- "You" means the person or organization that obtained the License Key.
- "We" or "us" means WATCHMAN Suite LLC.
2. License grant
The Software is licensed, not sold. Subject to this agreement, we grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and use the Software:
- on up to five (5) devices (computers, tablets or phones) in your household that you own or control, unless your license states a different number
- for the term of your license. Paid, lifetime, beta, press and complimentary licenses may have different terms or expiration dates, as stated when the key is issued.
We own the Software and all rights in it, except third-party components and data (section 7). All rights not expressly granted are reserved.
3. Restrictions
You may not:
- share, sell, rent, lend, publish or transfer your License Key, or let others use it outside the device limit
- copy or redistribute the Software, its data packs or map data, except backups for your own use
- reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, or bypass or tamper with its licensing, except where the law expressly allows it despite this restriction
- remove copyright, license or attribution notices
- use the Software to build a competing product or data set
- use the Software for any unlawful purpose (section 5)
We may disable a License Key that is shared, resold, stolen or used in violation of this agreement.
4. Activation, license checks and updates
- The Software needs an internet connection to activate. When online, it periodically checks that your license is valid. When offline, it checks your license locally and does not lock you out.
- The Software automatically downloads and installs updates and data refreshes. We may add, change or remove features or data sources at any time.
- Updates are currently included with your license at no extra charge. We reserve the right to charge a low, reasonable fee for future updates. If we do, we will announce it in advance, and updates you have already received remain yours to use under this agreement.
- What these checks send and how long we keep it is explained in our Privacy Policy (section 9).
5. Acceptable use
You are responsible for how you use the Software and must follow all applicable laws. In particular:
People and records (HUMINT Registry, public-records layers, lookup tools)
- WATCHMAN Suite LLC is not a consumer reporting agency, and the Software does not provide consumer reports. You may not use the Software, or any information from it, to decide eligibility for employment, housing, credit, insurance or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws.
- You may not use the Software to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, surveil or unlawfully track any person, or to violate anyone's privacy rights.
- Sex-offender registry information is provided for public safety awareness only. Using it to threaten, harass or commit a crime against a registered person, their family or their property is prohibited and may be a crime.
- Public records can be outdated, incomplete or wrong, and people move. Verify information independently before relying on it.
Radio and communications. Information about frequencies, repeaters and communication plans does not authorize you to transmit. You are responsible for holding any required license (for example, FCC amateur or GMRS licenses) and for following all transmission rules.
Weapons, cache and tactical content. You are responsible for following all federal, state and local laws on firearms, weapons, property access and trespass. Nothing in the Software authorizes entering private or restricted property.
Third-party online services. When you use online features, your requests go to third-party services (listed in our Privacy Policy). You must follow those services' terms and must not use the Software to overload, scrape or abuse them.
6. Not professional advice; not for emergency reliance
Medical. The medical, dental, trauma and health content is for general educational and reference use only. It is not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for a licensed medical professional. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number. Do not perform procedures you are not trained and legally permitted to perform.
Navigation, maps and hazards. Maps, routes, elevation, flood zones, weather, alerts, infrastructure and hazard data come from third parties and may be inaccurate, outdated or incomplete. Do not rely on the Software as your sole source for navigation, emergency decisions, evacuation or life-safety decisions. Always follow instructions from official emergency authorities.
Legal, security and other content. Nothing in the Software is legal, financial or security advice.
7. Third-party data and components
The Software includes or accesses data and software from third parties, including government agencies, OpenStreetMap contributors and open-source projects. That material is provided under its own licenses and terms, which are listed in the Software's Data Sources & Licenses section. It is provided "as is" by its sources, and we do not guarantee it. Where a third-party license grants you rights beyond this agreement for that component (for example, the Open Database License for OpenStreetMap data), that license controls for that component.
8. Your data
Data you create in the Software is stored on your computer, and you own it. We do not have access to it, and we cannot recover it if it is lost or if you forget a password you set. You are responsible for backing up your data. Uninstalling the Software does not delete your data.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It is part of this agreement. In short, we do not sell or share your information.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SOFTWARE AND ALL DATA ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE OR DATA WILL BE ERROR-FREE, CURRENT, COMPLETE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ONLINE FEATURES WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE.
11. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WATCHMAN SUITE LLC AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS AND SUPPLIERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF DATA, PROFITS OR USE, OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SOFTWARE OR ITS DATA, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limits. In those jurisdictions, these limits apply only as far as the law allows.
12. Indemnification
You agree to defend and indemnify WATCHMAN Suite LLC against claims, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from your misuse of the Software, your violation of this agreement, or your violation of any law or anyone's rights.
13. Termination
This license lasts until it expires or is terminated. It ends automatically if you breach this agreement, and we may then disable your License Key. When it ends, you must stop using the Software. Your data stays on your computer. Sections 3 and 5 through 15 survive termination.
14. Governing law and disputes
This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.
15. General
- Changes. We may update this agreement. The current version is shown in the Software. Material changes will be presented for your acceptance, and they apply only after you accept them.
- Entire agreement. This agreement and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between us about the Software.
- Severability. If any part is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
- No waiver. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it.
- Assignment. You may not assign this agreement without our consent. We may assign it in connection with a sale or transfer of the business.
- Export. You must follow U.S. export control laws when using or moving the Software.
