Terms of service.

Not a life-safety service

Atmostorm is an information aggregator. It is not an official source of weather information and is not a substitute for the National Weather Service, local NWS forecast offices, or any official emergency management authority. Do not rely on Atmostorm alone to make life-safety decisions. Always verify severe weather information directly with the NWS and follow the guidance of your local emergency managers.

Data accuracy

We aggregate data from public sources and do our best to present it accurately and in real time. However, any aggregation introduces latency. Data may be missing, delayed, or incorrect due to upstream issues, network conditions, or bugs. The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Atmostorm and its operator are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the service — including decisions made on the basis of weather information shown here. Your use of the service is at your own risk.

Accounts

Accounts are optional. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure and for activity under your account. We may suspend or terminate accounts that abuse the service or violate these terms. You can request deletion of your account at any time.

Donations

Donations are voluntary and help cover the cost of running Atmostorm. They are processed by Stripe, are non-refundable, and are not tax-deductible — Atmostorm is operated by an individual, not a registered nonprofit. Donating does not create any obligation to provide the service or any particular feature.

Acceptable use

Do not:

• Scrape the site or API at volumes that interfere with other users
• Attempt to circumvent rate limits or authentication
• Misrepresent Atmostorm data as an official source
• Use the service to harass, stalk, or endanger others

API use

The Atmostorm API is provided free of charge under a fair-use rate limit. We reserve the right to revoke or restrict API access if usage patterns interfere with the service for other users. For high-volume needs, contact us.

Data sources and attribution

The underlying weather data comes from public sources (NOAA/NWS, the Storm Prediction Center, USGS, NASA, and others) and remains subject to those sources' own terms. The Atmostorm name, site design, and original code are ours. You may link to Atmostorm freely; please don't present our aggregated presentation as an official government product.

Changes

We may update these terms as the product evolves. We'll revise the date above, and significant changes will be announced via the site or email (for registered users).
