By accessing Stwarn, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Disclaimer and agree to comply with all applicable terms, whether you access the website as a visitor, subscriber, registered user, or in any other way. This Disclaimer applies to all usages of the site including mobile access, API, and email subscriptions.
2. General Information
All information provided on Stwarn is presented in good faith. While we strive to deliver timely, accurate, and comprehensive weather and preparedness information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the completeness, reliability, currentness, or suitability of any content. The use of any information or materials on this website is strictly at your own risk.
3. No Professional Advice
Nothing on Stwarn constitutes, or is meant to constitute, specific legal, financial, medical, meteorological, or professional advice.
- No Substitute for Experts: Always seek certified professionals, trusted meteorologists, government agencies, or relevant emergency authorities for advice or information tailored to your individual situation.
- No Doctor/Patient or Attorney/Client Relationship: Use of this site, subscription, email, or other contact does not establish any professional, doctor-patient, or attorney-client relationship. Do not rely solely on Stwarn for critical decisions.
4. Service Use and Reliability
We endeavor to keep the site and services running smoothly and up to date. However, we make no representations or guarantees that:
- The website or any of its functions will be available without interruption, error, or omission at all times.
- The data, warnings, and notifications (including email, SMS, or push notifications) will be delivered without delays or failures.
- Any reported site issue will be fixed immediately or at all.
Despite our efforts to ensure service reliability, outages, technological limitations, and unforeseeable circumstances may affect the site.
5. Emergency and Weather Alerts Disclaimer
Stwarn provides real-time weather alerts as a convenience, and strives for prompt, accurate delivery based on currently available information from relevant sources such as the National Weather Service, NOAA, and local agencies. Despite these efforts:
- We do not guarantee the completeness, accuracy, or timing of any alert.
- Users should not rely solely on Stwarn for life safety, property protection, or time-sensitive emergency decisions.
- All weather warnings and advisories serve as supplementary information and should not replace official directions issued by government agencies or emergency responders.
Limitations on Alert Delivery
Due to factors beyond our control (network interruption, technical issues, third-party service outages, or user misconfiguration), Stwarn cannot guarantee the timely delivery or receipt of any alert, notification, or update.
Users should not rely exclusively on Stwarn alerts and are urged to maintain multiple sources of official warnings and plans for redundancy.
6. Opt-In, Communication, and Alerts Delivery
Signing up for weather alerts via SMS, email, or other methods on Stwarn is strictly voluntary and requires your explicit consent.
- Verification: Subscription to alerts may use “confirmed opt-in” procedures. Accurate contact information is the user’s responsibility.
- Standard Charges: Standard message and data rates may apply, according to your carrier’s policies.
- Unsubscribing: You may unsubscribe at any time by following the procedures indicated on the site or in communications.
We are not responsible for any damages, lost opportunities, or harm that results from a failure to receive alerts—whether due to technical failure, user error, or circumstances beyond our control.
