These are the terms for using Skytold. By signing up for or using Skytold, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use Skytold. This is the only mutually-binding contract you and we will share, so we tried to keep it short and readable.
Skytold is a weather translation service. We take public weather forecast data and rewrite it as actionable advice. We send you this advice three times a week by email. We also display it on the website.
That's the entire product. We're not a financial service. We're not a medical service. We're not a legal service. The advice we give is meant to be useful for everyday decisions like "should I wear a jacket" or "should I bring an umbrella." It is not a substitute for professional judgment about anything important.
Skytold is not life-or-death weather information. If a tornado is bearing down on your house, do not check Skytold for advice. Check the actual National Weather Service. Skytold's tone might be conversational, but it is not a replacement for emergency weather services. If we ever conflict with an official emergency alert, the official alert wins.
To use Skytold, you provide an email address. We send a magic link to that email. You click the magic link to log in. There are no passwords. This is intentional.
You're responsible for keeping the magic link safe. If someone else clicks your magic link, they can access your account. The link expires after a short time, which limits the damage.
You're responsible for the accuracy of information you provide. If you tell us your city is "Boise" but you live in Phoenix, we will faithfully send you Boise weather. We can't fact-check you.
You can delete your account anytime through Settings. We won't try to talk you out of it.

You can't:
We don't have a legal team that monitors compliance with these terms in real-time. We rely on you being a reasonable person. If you violate these terms in a serious way, we may suspend or terminate your account. We'll usually email you first to explain why, but we reserve the right not to.
You can use Skytold's content in normal ways: reading it, forwarding it occasionally, screenshotting it. You cannot use Skytold's content as the foundation for a competing product or as training data for an AI system.
Our brand assets (the Skytold name, logo, design language) are ours. Don't use them as if they were yours.
Skytold is currently free. We may charge for it in the future. If we ever do, we'll tell you in advance and you can decide whether to continue.
We make no guarantee that Skytold will remain free forever. We make no guarantee that Skytold will exist forever. Companies fail. Products get shut down. Founders move on to other things. We hope none of these happen, but we'd be lying if we said we could rule them out.
If we ever shut down Skytold, we'll give you 30 days notice and let you export any data you have with us.
We try to keep Skytold up and running. We will fail sometimes. Servers will go down. Emails will be delayed. Weather APIs will hiccup. AI generation will produce strange content occasionally. Users will report bugs we didn't see.
We are not liable for any consequences of downtime, delays, errors, or strange editorial content. If you missed a meeting because Skytold's commute container was wrong, that's an unfortunate combination of factors but not something we can be financially responsible for. We are a free weather service. The standard for our reliability is "best effort," not "regulated utility."
Skytold uses AI to generate editorial content. AI can be wrong. AI can be inconsistent. AI can occasionally produce content that doesn't make sense or that contradicts itself or that says something dumb.
We have safeguards to prevent the worst kinds of failures (we don't generate fake URLs, we validate temperatures against actual forecast data, we have voice and tone controls). But we can't guarantee perfection.
Treat Skytold's editorial as one input to your decisions, not as authoritative truth. If we say "wear a jacket" but you look outside and see a heat wave, please trust your eyes over our forecast.
See our Privacy Policy. Short version: we don't sell your data, we collect the minimum we need, and we follow standard security practices.
Skytold is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no warranties, express or implied, about the service, the content, or the suitability of any of it for any particular purpose. We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the extent the law allows.
This is standard contract language and probably more aggressive than it needs to be. The practical version: we're trying to make a useful product, but you can't sue us if it's not perfect.
To the maximum extent allowed by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising from your use of Skytold is limited to either (a) the amount you paid us in the past 12 months, which for free users is $0, or (b) $50, whichever is greater.
We don't anticipate any user successfully arguing that Skytold caused them $50 or more in real damages, but we're putting this in here because every contract has it.
We may update these terms occasionally. If we change them in ways that affect your rights, we'll email you. If the changes are clarifying or technical, we'll just update this page and note the date at the top.
If you don't agree with the new terms, your remedy is to delete your account. We won't make you stay subscribed against your will.
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any dispute will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in California.
This is the standard "we live in California" clause. If we ever sue each other, it will be in California.

If you found a typo or a contradictory clause, please email us. Bad terms make the web worse for everyone, and we'd rather fix our document than have it stay broken.
By using Skytold, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, that's fine, but please don't use Skytold.
