Terms of Use

Who we are and what these terms cover

LightTrax is made by TraxLabs LLC (“we”). These terms cover the LightTrax iPhone app, its widgets and LightTrax Pro (together, “LightTrax”). By downloading or using LightTrax you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the app.

LightTrax is licensed to you, not sold, under Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”). These terms add to it. Where they conflict, the Apple EULA wins for anything it covers.

Forecasts are estimates

LightTrax calculates sun and moon positions and combines them with weather forecasts and terrain data to estimate when and where the light will be good. Those estimates can be wrong:

• Weather forecasts come from Apple Weather and can change or miss what actually happens.
• Skylines and terrain-adjusted times come from bare-earth elevation data. Trees, buildings and other things on the ground aren’t included, so the sun may disappear sooner or later than shown.
• Outlook ratings such as Good, Fair and Poor, and smart alerts, are our best judgement from that data, not a promise.
• Reminders and alerts depend on iOS delivering notifications and letting LightTrax check the forecast in the background. They can arrive late, or not at all, for example in Low Power Mode, with notifications off, or without a connection.

Use LightTrax as one guide among several, and check conditions for yourself.

Stay safe outdoors

Shooting at sunrise, sunset and night often means being out in the dark, in remote places and in changing weather. You alone are responsible for your safety and for others with you. Check the weather and local conditions, tell someone where you’re going, and turn back when it isn’t safe. Don’t use LightTrax while driving.

A place on the map or a saved spot doesn’t mean you may go there. Respect private property, closures, park rules and local laws, and get any permits you need.

LightTrax Pro

• LightTrax Pro is offered as an auto-renewing monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices are shown in the app before you buy.
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• If an offer includes a free trial, any unused part of it ends when you buy a subscription.
• Manage or cancel a subscription in your App Store account settings. Canceling stops the next renewal; Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for.
• Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. We can’t issue or process them ourselves.
• The features in Pro may change over time. If we remove a major Pro feature, we’ll try to give notice in the app.

Your content

Spots, notes, visits and photos you add stay on your iPhone and remain yours. We don’t receive them. See the Privacy Policy for what LightTrax sends to other services and why. You’re responsible for keeping your own backups; if the app or your iPhone is deleted or lost, we can’t restore your data.

Using LightTrax fairly

Please don’t copy, modify, reverse engineer or resell the app, get around Pro or its purchase checks, or use LightTrax to break the law or the terms of the data services it relies on.

Other services and data

LightTrax relies on services and data from others, including Apple Weather, Apple Maps and elevation data from the U.S. Geological Survey and others, provided through Amazon Web Services. Their own terms and attributions apply, and we don’t control whether they stay available. If one changes or stops, some features may work differently or stop working.

Disclaimer

To the fullest extent the law allows, LightTrax is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including that it will be accurate, uninterrupted or error-free, or fit for a particular purpose. Some places don’t allow these exclusions, so some of them may not apply to you.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, TraxLabs LLC isn’t liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for lost shots, trips, time or data, arising from your use of LightTrax or reliance on its forecasts, alerts or times. Our total liability for any claim about LightTrax is limited to the amount you paid for LightTrax Pro in the 12 months before the claim, or US$10 if you paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can’t be limited by law.

Changes and ending

We may update these terms as LightTrax changes. We’ll post the new version here with a new effective date, and mention important changes in the app’s release notes. If you keep using LightTrax after that, the new terms apply. You can stop using LightTrax at any time by deleting it; canceling a subscription is done through Apple as above.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, USA, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, except where the law of the country you live in requires otherwise.
