Terms of Service

You are solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of your party. Before any trip, you should:

• Consult local outfitters, park rangers, and current official advisories
• Verify conditions independently — do not rely on Eddy alone
• Wear a properly fitted life jacket and never float alone
• Assess your own skill level, equipment, and the current weather
• Be aware that low-head dams, strainers, and cold water pose serious hazards

Eddy displays data drawn from third-party sources, including USGS Water Servicesgauge readings and public weather providers. This data is provided “as is,” may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate, and can be interrupted or removed at any time by its source.

River condition ratings, float recommendations, estimated float times, hazard listings, and condition alerts shown by Eddy are automated interpretations for general guidance only. They may not reflect actual conditions on the water. We make no guarantee as to the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any information on the site.

You can use most of Eddy without creating an account. When you first open the mobile app, Eddy creates an anonymous account for your device automatically so that saved rivers and preferences can be kept and restored. This account has no email address, name, or password attached to it, and you are not asked to sign up.

If you later sign in with Apple, that same account is upgraded rather than replaced, so anything you saved beforehand carries over. Some features — including push notifications and paid subscriptions — require a signed-in account, because they are tied to a payment and a device rather than to a browsing session.

You are responsible for activity that occurs under your account. Contact us to request deletion of an account and its associated data.

Eddy Premium is an auto-renewing subscription sold through the Apple App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.

• Your subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the price then in effect for your subscription.
• You manage and cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings, not through Eddy. We cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf.
• Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
• If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.

Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms, not by Eddy. We may change subscription pricing or the features included in Eddy Premium; changes to price take effect at your next renewal and Apple will ask for your consent where required.

If your subscription lapses, you keep full access to river conditions, readings, hazards, and access points. You lose only the paid convenience features.

Do not rely on Eddy notifications for safety-critical decisions.

Condition alerts are generated from public gauge readings that Eddy checks on a schedule. Because those readings are themselves reported on a delay, an alert can trail the actual river by roughly 20 to 75 minutes, and sometimes longer if a gauge or an upstream service is unavailable. Eddy does not promise real-time or instantaneous notification, and does not guarantee that any particular notification will be generated or delivered at all.

Notification delivery depends on Apple's push service, your network, and your device settings, none of which Eddy controls. A missed, delayed, duplicated, or incorrect notification is not a breach of these terms. Emergency information should come from the National Weather Service, local authorities, and your own observation of the water.

If you submit a report, photograph, or other content to Eddy, you confirm that you have the right to do so and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights or privacy. You retain ownership of what you submit, and you grant Eddy a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, reproduce, adapt, and display it in connection with operating and promoting the service.

Submissions are reviewed before they appear publicly, and we may edit, decline, or remove any submission for any reason — including inaccuracy, safety concerns, or the presence of identifiable people, vehicles, or private property. Do not submit content depicting children, faces, licence plates, or private information.

Community reports are user opinion, not verified fact. Treat them as you would a tip from a stranger at a put-in.

You agree not to:

• Use Eddy for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these terms
• Scrape, harvest, or systematically extract data from the site at scale
• Attempt to disrupt, overload, or gain unauthorized access to the service
• Misrepresent shared float plans or use them to endanger others

The following applies to the Eddy iOS application obtained through the Apple App Store. These terms are between you and Eddy only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content.

• Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support for the app.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the app. In the event of any failure of the app to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app to you; Apple has no other warranty obligation.
• Apple is not responsible for addressing any claim by you or a third party relating to the app, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, and consumer protection claims.
• Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement, or discharge of any third-party claim that the app infringes intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a “terrorist supporting” country, and that you are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and, upon your acceptance, will have the right to enforce them against you.
