Terms of Service
Effective date: February 16, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Beacon mobile application and related services (the "Service") operated by Copperline Labs LLC ("we," "our," or "us"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms.
1. Service Description
Beacon is a personal safety check-in application. You set a check-in timer before an activity, and if you do not check back in before the timer expires, Beacon automatically sends safety alert notifications to your designated emergency contacts via SMS, email, and/or voice call depending on your subscription tier.
Beacon is a communication tool and is not a substitute for emergency services. In an emergency, always contact local emergency services (e.g., 911 in the United States) directly.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Beacon. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this age requirement. If you are under 18, you represent that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the Service.
3. Account Responsibilities
You are responsible for:
- Maintaining the security of your account credentials.
- All activity that occurs under your account.
- Providing accurate and current contact information for yourself and your emergency contacts.
- Obtaining consent from individuals before adding them as emergency contacts.
- Ensuring your emergency contacts are aware they may receive safety alert notifications from Beacon on your behalf.
4. Subscriptions and Payments
Beacon offers a free tier and a paid subscription tier ("Beacon Plus"). Subscriptions are managed through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and are subject to their respective terms and refund policies.
- Subscriptions automatically renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current billing period.
- You can manage and cancel your subscription through your device's app store settings.
- Pricing may change with reasonable notice. Existing subscribers will be notified before any price increase takes effect on their account.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use Beacon to:
- Send false, misleading, or fraudulent safety alerts.
- Harass, threaten, or abuse any person, including your emergency contacts.
- Violate any applicable law or regulation.
- Interfere with or disrupt the Service or its infrastructure.
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Service.
- Use the Service for any purpose other than personal safety check-ins.
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms or use the Service in a manner we reasonably determine to be harmful or abusive.
6. Service Availability
We strive to provide a reliable service, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. Beacon depends on third-party services (including SMS carriers, email providers, and voice call networks) that are outside our control. We are not liable for delays or failures in alert delivery caused by third-party service disruptions, network outages, or device issues.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Copperline Labs LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly, or any loss of data, use, goodwill, or other intangible losses resulting from:
- Your use of or inability to use the Service.
- Any failure or delay in the delivery of safety alert notifications.
- Any unauthorized access to or alteration of your data.
- Any conduct or content of any third party related to the Service.
Beacon is a supplementary safety tool, not a guaranteed emergency response system. You acknowledge that the Service may not function in all circumstances and should not be your sole safety plan.
8. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
9. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Copperline Labs LLC, its officers, directors, and employees from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
10. Termination
You may stop using Beacon and delete your account at any time through the app settings. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violation of these Terms or for any other reason with reasonable notice, except in cases of severe or repeated violations where immediate action is necessary.
Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law) will survive.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting a notice in the app or sending you an email at least 14 days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of Beacon after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
12. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the courts located in Sheridan County, Wyoming.
