Terms of Service

LAST UPDATED JUNE 6, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Flaresat ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service, whether or not they have created an account.

2. Guest Mode

You may use certain features of the Service without creating an account by entering Guest Mode. In Guest Mode:

  • All data (groups, messages, map items, locations) is stored locally on your device and is not synced to Flaresat's servers.
  • You can participate in radio/mesh (Meshtastic) group coordination without an account.
  • Cloud-synced groups, real-time location sharing with cloud backup, and push notifications are not available in Guest Mode.
  • These Terms still apply to your use of the Service in Guest Mode.

3. Use of the Service

Flaresat provides live group mapping, messaging, and coordination tools. You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.

  • You must not use the Service to track individuals without their explicit knowledge and consent.
  • You must not use the Service for any illegal activity, including but not limited to coordinating unlawful surveillance or trespass.
  • You must not interfere with or disrupt the integrity or performance of the Service or the servers or networks connected to it.
  • You must not attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other users' accounts, or any related systems.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account or group sessions, including actions taken by others you invite.

4. User Accounts

Creating an account unlocks cloud-synced groups, real-time location sharing, push notifications, and subscription features. When you create an account:

  • You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials.
  • You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.
  • You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

For details on how we handle your data, please review our Privacy Policy.

5. Location Sharing

Location sharing is opt-in and controlled by you on a per-group basis. By enabling location sharing for a group, you consent to your real-time GPS coordinates being shared with all members of that group and stored on our servers while sharing is active. You may disable sharing at any time, which immediately removes your location data from our servers.

6. Subscriptions and Payments

Some features of the Service require a paid subscription. If you subscribe through the iOS App Store or Google Play, your purchase is billed by Apple or Google respectively and is governed by their own terms. If you subscribe directly through our website, payment is processed by Paddle, our authorised reseller and Merchant of Record for web purchases, and by purchasing a web subscription you agree to Paddle's Buyer Terms in addition to these Terms. For information about refunds, see our Refund Policy.

7. Termination

We may terminate or suspend your access to the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, for any reason, including if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service will immediately cease. You may also delete your account at any time from within the app.

8. Disclaimers

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any defects will be corrected.

Flaresat is a coordination tool. You are solely responsible for the decisions you make based on information shown in the app, including location data. Do not rely on the Service as a sole means of safety or emergency communication.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Flaresat and its directors, employees, partners, agents, suppliers, or affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising from your use of or inability to use the Service.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, by in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

11. Apple App Store Additional Terms

  • In the event of a third-party claim that the App or your possession and use of the App infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Flaresat, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement, and discharge of any such claim.
  • You represent and warrant that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
