Terms of Service

1. Eligibility and Availability

Storm Studio is intended for users located in the United States.

You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, to create an account or use Storm Studio.

You represent that you are legally permitted to enter into these Terms and use the service.

We may restrict or refuse access to Storm Studio where required by law or where we determine that providing the service would create legal, security, or operational risks.

2. Accounts

Certain features of Storm Studio require an account.

You agree to provide accurate account information and to keep your account information reasonably current.

You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials
• Activity occurring through your account
• Using reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access
• Promptly notifying us if you believe your account has been compromised

You may not share account credentials with another person or allow another person to use your individual account unless Storm Studio expressly permits that use.

We may suspend or restrict an account if we reasonably believe it has been compromised or is being used in violation of these Terms.

3. Teams and Shared Workspaces

Storm Studio may allow users to participate in teams, organizations, or other shared workspaces.

Your ability to access, modify, share, or delete content within a shared workspace may depend on your assigned role or permissions.

Users with administrative permissions may be able to manage other users, permissions, settings, and content associated with a shared workspace.

If you use Storm Studio on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to use the service on that organization's behalf.

You are responsible for understanding who has access to any shared workspace you participate in and for ensuring that content you add to that workspace is appropriate to share with its authorized members.

4. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you create or upload to Storm Studio.

By providing content to Storm Studio, you grant us a limited, non-exclusive license to host, store, process, reproduce, transmit, and display that content as reasonably necessary to operate, maintain, secure, and provide Storm Studio.

This license exists only for purposes associated with operating and providing the service and ends when the content is deleted from our active systems, subject to reasonable backup, archival, security, or legal retention periods.

You represent that you have the rights necessary to upload, use, and distribute any content you provide through Storm Studio.

You are responsible for your content and for ensuring that your use of it complies with applicable law and does not violate the rights of others.

5. Acceptable Use

You may not use Storm Studio to:

• Violate any applicable law or regulation
• Infringe intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights
• Upload or distribute malicious software or harmful code
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to accounts, systems, or data
• Interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of Storm Studio
• Circumvent access controls, rate limits, or other technical restrictions
• Probe, scan, or test vulnerabilities without authorization
• Use automated systems in a manner that places unreasonable load on the service
• Impersonate another person or misrepresent your affiliation with an organization
• Use the service to facilitate fraud, harassment, abuse, or other unlawful activity
• Resell, sublicense, or provide access to Storm Studio except where expressly permitted by us

We may take reasonable steps to prevent abuse and protect the service and its users.

6. Weather and Other Data

Storm Studio may display, process, transform, or provide access to weather, geographic, environmental, or other information obtained from various sources.

Such information may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, unavailable, or subject to change.

Storm Studio is not an emergency alerting system, warning service, or substitute for official information from government authorities or other authoritative sources.

You should not rely solely on Storm Studio for decisions involving personal safety, emergency response, protection of life or property, or other safety-critical activities.

You are responsible for independently verifying information when accuracy or timeliness is important.

Storm Studio does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability, timing, or suitability of data made available through the service.

7. Professional and Broadcast Use

Storm Studio may be used to create or present content intended for public distribution.

You are solely responsible for reviewing and approving content before publishing, broadcasting, transmitting, or otherwise distributing it.

Storm Studio is not responsible for errors, omissions, inaccuracies, interruptions, or other issues in content produced or distributed using the service.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of Storm Studio and any content you distribute complies with laws, regulations, contractual requirements, industry standards, and editorial policies applicable to you.

8. Third-Party Services and Data

Storm Studio may depend on, interact with, or incorporate services, infrastructure, data, APIs, software, or content provided by third parties.

We do not control third-party services and cannot guarantee their availability, accuracy, performance, or continued compatibility with Storm Studio.

Changes, outages, limitations, or discontinuation of third-party services may affect Storm Studio without advance notice.

Your use of certain third-party services or content may also be subject to separate terms imposed by those third parties.

9. Intellectual Property

Except for content provided by users or third parties, Storm Studio, the Storm brand, and their software, interfaces, designs, branding, documentation, and related materials are owned or controlled by us or our licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

These Terms give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use Storm Studio in accordance with these Terms.

These Terms do not transfer ownership of Storm Studio, the Storm brand, or any related intellectual property to you.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, sublicense, or create derivative works from Storm Studio except as permitted by law or with our written authorization.

10. Feedback

If you provide suggestions, ideas, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback regarding Storm Studio, you grant us the right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

Providing feedback does not give us ownership of your underlying user content.

11. Service Changes and Availability

Storm Studio is an evolving service.

We may add, modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue features or portions of the service at any time.

We do not guarantee that Storm Studio, any particular feature, or any particular data source will remain available indefinitely.

We may perform maintenance or experience interruptions, outages, delays, errors, or other technical issues.

Where reasonably practical, we may provide notice of significant changes or planned disruptions, but we are not obligated to do so.

12. Preview, Beta, and Experimental Features

We may make preview, beta, experimental, or pre-release features available from time to time.

These features may be incomplete, change substantially, contain errors, or be discontinued without notice.

Access to a preview or experimental feature does not guarantee continued or future access to that feature or to Storm Studio generally.

Unless we state otherwise, preview and experimental features are provided for evaluation and testing purposes.

13. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Storm Studio at any time.

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access if:

• You violate these Terms
• Your use creates a security or operational risk
• Your use may expose Storm Studio or others to legal liability
• We are required to do so by law
• You misuse or attempt to disrupt the service
• We discontinue the service or the applicable account or access program

Where appropriate, we may provide notice before suspension or termination, but immediate action may be taken where necessary to protect the service, its users, or others.

Following termination, your right to use Storm Studio ends.

We may delete or retain account information and content following termination in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Storm Studio is provided "as is" and "as available."

We disclaim all warranties, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, reliability, and availability.

We do not warrant that Storm Studio will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any information provided through the service will be complete, accurate, or current.

Some jurisdictions may not allow certain warranty disclaimers, so portions of this section may not apply to you.

15. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Storm Studio and its owners, affiliates, service providers, licensors, and representatives will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or other intangible losses arising from or related to your use of Storm Studio.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability for claims arising out of or relating to Storm Studio or these Terms will not exceed the greater of:

• The amount you paid to us for Storm Studio during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim; or
• $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of these limitations may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Storm Studio and its owners, affiliates, representatives, service providers, and licensors from claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses arising from or related to:

• Your violation of these Terms
• Your content
• Your misuse of Storm Studio
• Your violation of applicable law
• Your violation of another person's rights
• Content you publish, broadcast, distribute, or otherwise produce using Storm Studio

17. Privacy

Our collection and use of personal information is described in the Storm Studio Privacy Policy.

By using Storm Studio, you acknowledge that information may be collected and processed as described in that policy.

18. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time.

When we make changes, we will update the effective date shown at the top of these Terms.

If we make material changes, we may provide additional notice through Storm Studio or another appropriate method.

Your continued use of Storm Studio after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

If you do not agree to revised Terms, you must stop using Storm Studio.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or Storm Studio will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Travis County, Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

You consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

20. General Terms

These Terms, together with the Storm Studio Privacy Policy and any additional terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement regarding your use of Storm Studio.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

Our failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not waive our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our consent. We may assign our rights and obligations in connection with a reorganization, acquisition, sale, transfer of the service, or formation or restructuring of the entity that owns or operates Storm Studio.
