Terms of Service

The gist:

We (the folks at Stormpulse) run a service called Stormpulse.com and would love for you to use it. Our basic service is free for personal use, and we offer paid upgrades for advanced features and business use. Our service is designed to give you high-quality displays of critical information in a timely manner. However, this still requires that you use your own best judgment in all of your decision-making.

Terms of Service:

The following terms and conditions govern all use of the Stormpulse.com website and all content, services and products available at or through the website, including, but not limited to, the Stormpulse premium service ("Stormpulse premium"), (taken together, the Website). The Website is owned and operated by Stormpulse, Inc. ("Stormpulse"). The Website is offered subject to your acceptance without modification of all of the terms and conditions contained herein and all other operating rules, policies (including, without limitation, Stormpulse's Privacy Policy) and procedures that may be published from time to time on this Site by Stormpulse (collectively, the "Agreement").

Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the Website. By accessing or using any part of the web site, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this agreement, then you may not access the Website or use any services. If these terms and conditions are considered an offer by Stormpulse, acceptance is expressly limited to these terms. The Website is available only to individuals who are at least 13 years old.

  1. Your Stormpulse.com Account. If you create an account on the Website, you are responsible for choosing a hard-to-guess password, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the account. Stormpulse may change or remove any account that it considers unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause Stormpulse liability. You must immediately notify Stormpulse of any unauthorized uses of your account or any other breaches of security. Stormpulse will not be liable for any acts or omissions by You, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions. Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, Stormpulse has the right (though not the obligation) to, in Stormpulse's sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any data that, in Stormpulse's reasonable opinion, violates any Stormpulse policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Website to any individual or entity for any reason, in Stormpulse's sole discretion. Stormpulse will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
  2. Fees and Payment. Optional premium paid services such as Stormpulse premium are available on the Website. By selecting a premium service you agree to pay Stormpulse the monthly or annual subscription fees indicated for that service (the payment terms for Stormpulse premium are described below). Payments will be charged on the day you sign up for a premium service and will cover the use of that service for a monthly or annual period as indicated.
  3. Refunds. While monthly subscriptions may be cancelled at any time, monthly subscription payments are non-refundable. Seasonal payments will be refunded in proportion to the remainder of the subscription. For example, a 5-month subscription cancelled after two monthly payments will receive a refund for three months of service.
  4. Stormpulse premium.
    • Fees and Payment. By signing up for a Stormpulse premium account you agree to pay Stormpulse the yearly, semi-annual, or monthly subscription fee specified on your registration and payment terms page in exchange for the relevant services listed at http://www.stormpulse.com/products/. Applicable fees will be invoiced starting from the day your Stormpulse premium account is established and in advance of using such services. Stormpulse reserves the right to change the payment terms and fees upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you. Stormpulse premium can be canceled by you at anytime on 30 days written notice to Stormpulse.
    • Support. Stormpulse premium includes access to priority email support. "Email support" means the ability to make requests for technical support assistance by email at any time (with reasonable efforts by Stormpulse to respond within one business day) concerning the use of the Stormpulse premium service. "Priority" means that support for Stormpulse premium customers takes priority over support for users of the standard, free Stormpulse.com services. All Stormpulse premium support will be provided in accordance with Stormpulse standard practices, procedures and policies. (You must reference your support code in your email for us to prioritize assistance. This code is found on your Account Status page.)
    • Refunds. Refunds for Stormpulse premium are handled according to our premium services refund policy described above.
  5. Rewards. Stormpulse administers a program called "Affiliate Rewards", which pays Stormpulse affiliates for referrals to Stormpulse that register for Stormpulse Advanced. These rewards are paid by check on the first day of each month. To be eligible for a rewards payment, an affiliate must have earned greater than $100.00 USD in rewards during the period. Any and all unpaid rewards will be paid in full by January 1 of each year. Rewards are calculated as 25% of the referral total. For example, if five people register for Stormpulse premium after following a link from an affiliate, and each person registers for Stormpulse premium at the rate of $11.95, the affiliate's reward total is $14.93. To be valid, affiliates must place their affiliate key in a URL pointing to Stormpulse Advanced's product page, Plans & Pricing page, or account registration page. For details, please read our blog post: Stormpulse Affiliate Rewards.
