6.5 Trademarks and Branding

"LaunchDetect," the LaunchDetect logo, and all associated word marks, design marks, and trade dress (collectively, the "Marks") are owned by LaunchDetect, LLC. You are granted no right, license, or authority to use the Marks except as expressly set forth in these Terms or in a separate written agreement. You may not: (a) register or attempt to register any trademark, service mark, domain name, social media handle, or business name that incorporates the Marks or any confusingly similar variation; (b) use the Marks in a way that implies endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or partnership where none exists; (c) co-brand, re-sell, or re-package the Service as "LaunchDetect-powered," "Built on LaunchDetect," or similar without our prior written consent; or (d) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notices, trademarks, or branding appearing on or in the Service.

6.6 Data Redistribution and Derived Works

Detection events, trajectory data, TLE-derived positions, NOTSO records, satellite pass predictions, and other data generated by the Service ("Service Data") are licensed, not sold, to you for your own internal business or personal use. Except as expressly permitted by your subscription tier or a separate written agreement, you may not:

• Re-sell, re-license, or re-distribute Service Data in raw or lightly transformed form;
• Create a derivative product or dataset whose primary purpose is to provide Service Data to third parties;
• Use Service Data to train machine-learning models that will be redistributed commercially (internal research use is permitted);
• Bulk-download or scrape Service Data in a manner that materially competes with the Service;
• Use Service Data to produce outputs that are advertised as originating from an authoritative SSA provider.

Business-tier subscribers receive expanded redistribution rights as described in their subscription or order form; those rights supersede this §6.6 for the subscribed term. Attribution is required for any permitted public use: "Data from LaunchDetect — launchdetect.com."

7. Data and Privacy

7.1 Data Collection

Our collection and use of personal information is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7.2 Data Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate and timely data, we do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Content. Launch detection and analysis involve inherent uncertainties, and results should be verified through independent sources for critical applications.

7.3 Data Retention

We retain data in accordance with our data retention policies and applicable legal requirements. You may request deletion of your account data subject to our retention obligations.

8. Payment Terms

8.1 Fees

Paid subscriptions are subject to the fees specified at the time of purchase. All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise specified.

8.2 Billing

Subscriptions are billed in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on your selected plan. You authorize us to charge your payment method for all applicable fees.

8.3 Automatic Renewal and Cancellation

Your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period (monthly or annual, as selected) at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. We may change subscription fees upon notice, with changes taking effect at the next renewal. You may cancel at any time through your account settings on launchdetect.com, after which you will retain access until the end of the current billing period. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund of fees already paid except as expressly stated in these Terms or as required by law.

8.4 Free Trials

If you start a free trial, you will not be charged during the trial period. Unless you cancel before the end of the trial, your selected subscription will begin and the first billing period will be charged automatically. We will display the end date of any free trial at the time of signup.

8.5 Refunds

Fees are non-refundable except as required by law or as expressly stated in these Terms (including §8.6 for EU/EEA/UK/Swiss consumers). If you cancel a subscription, you will retain access until the end of your current billing period.

8.6 EU / EEA / UK / Swiss Consumer Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to withdraw from a subscription within fourteen (14) days of purchase without giving any reason (Directive 2011/83/EU on Consumer Rights and equivalent UK and Swiss law).

Express consent to immediate performance and acknowledgement of waiver: The Service is a digital service supplied immediately upon purchase. By subscribing you:

• Expressly request that performance of the Service begin immediately upon purchase; and
• Acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once performance of the Service has begun with your prior express consent.

If you have not yet accessed the Service within the 14-day period, you may withdraw by emailing connect@launchdetect.com with the subject line "Withdrawal" within fourteen (14) days of the contract date. We will refund fees paid for the then-current subscription term (less any statutory deduction for Service already performed). A model withdrawal form is available on request.

8.7 Taxes

Fees do not include taxes (including VAT, GST, sales, and similar taxes). You are responsible for all applicable taxes; we may collect and remit such taxes where required by law. For EU/UK consumers, prices displayed at checkout are inclusive of VAT where applicable.

8.8 No In-App Purchases via Apple

Subscriptions are purchased and managed on launchdetect.com through our payment processor (Stripe) and are not processed through Apple In-App Purchase. The iOS mobile application operates as a "reader" application under Apple's App Store Review Guideline 3.1.3(a). Accordingly, Apple does not process subscription payments for the Service, and disputes regarding subscription charges must be directed to LaunchDetect in accordance with §17.

9. API Terms

9.1 API Access

API access is subject to your subscription tier and any applicable rate limits. API keys are confidential and must not be shared or exposed publicly.

9.2 Rate Limits

We may impose rate limits on API usage by tier and by endpoint. Exceeding rate limits may result in request throttling, temporary suspension, or — in the case of persistent or intentional circumvention — permanent revocation of API credentials. Current rate limits are published in the API documentation.

9.2a Anti-Abuse and Scraping

You may not: (a) issue requests in a manner designed to evade rate limits (e.g., rotating IPs, parallel accounts, credential sharing); (b) operate automated scraping that materially competes with the Service; (c) use our API or data to train a commercial machine-learning model that is then redistributed or re-sold without a separate license; or (d) attempt to reverse-engineer our detection algorithms, propagation logic, or ML inference paths. Violation of this §9.2a constitutes a material breach and is grounds for immediate credential revocation without refund.

9.3 Attribution

If you display or redistribute data obtained through our API, you must provide appropriate attribution to LaunchDetect as specified in your subscription agreement.

10. Government Users

10.1 Government Terms

If you are a US government user, the Service is provided as "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as defined in applicable federal regulations. Use by government users is governed by these Terms except to the extent superseded by applicable federal law.

10.2 Export Compliance

The Service may be subject to export control laws and regulations. You agree to comply with all applicable export laws and not to export or re-export any Content or technology to prohibited destinations or persons.

11. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with or contain links to third-party services. We are not responsible for third-party services and your use of them is subject to their respective terms and policies.

12. Disclaimers

12.1 As-Is Basis

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE, AND ACCURACY, ALL OF WHICH ARE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED.

12.2 No Guarantee

WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY DETECTION DATA OR ANALYSIS. ALL DATA IS DERIVED FROM PUBLIC AND COMMERCIAL SOURCES AND IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

12.3 Critical Applications

THE SERVICE IS NOT INTENDED, CERTIFIED, OR AUTHORIZED FOR USE IN LIFE-SAFETY, SAFETY-OF-FLIGHT, WEAPONS TARGETING, MISSILE DEFENSE, NUCLEAR, OR OTHER MISSION-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS WHERE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK ASSOCIATED WITH RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE FOR ANY PURPOSE.

12.4 Consumer Rights Preserved

Nothing in this §12 limits any warranty, guarantee, or remedy that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer-protection laws in your country of residence. For EU/EEA/UK/Swiss consumers, nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights.

12.5 Space Situational Awareness — Specific Use-Case Disclaimer

LaunchDetect detects heat signatures associated with rocket launches from public geostationary satellite thermal imagery (GOES-18, GOES-19, Himawari-9) and tracks satellites using public Two-Line Element ("TLE") data from CelesTrak. The Service is not certified, accredited, or authorized for, and is expressly disclaimed from use in:

• Collision avoidance maneuver planning or conjunction assessment under DoD Instruction 3100.11 or equivalent frameworks;
• Debris mitigation, reentry prediction, or end-of-life disposal planning;
• Space-based or ground-based kinetic, directed-energy, or cyber targeting;
• Missile defense, missile warning, or early-warning architectures;
• Safety-of-flight decision-making by aviation operators, air traffic control, or spaceport operators;
• Range safety, launch licensing, or FAA Part 450 operational decisions;
• Insurance underwriting of space assets or launch vehicles;
• Any application governed by STM (Space Traffic Management) policy or analogous regulatory regimes where certified authoritative data is required.

Users requiring authoritative SSA data should obtain it from authorized sources such as US Space Command's public catalog, commercial SSA providers with documented accuracy certifications, or sensor networks validated under applicable national regulatory regimes.

12.6 Third-Party Data Passthrough and Accuracy

The Service relies on data from third-party sources including, without limitation: CelesTrak (TLE catalogs), NOAA (GOES thermal imagery), JMA (Himawari-9 imagery), The Space Devs (Launch Library 2), and historically Space-Track.org (subject to their Terms of Use and operational availability). Your use of third-party data through the Service is subject to those third parties' terms, availability, and accuracy. LaunchDetect does not guarantee the availability of any third-party feed and is not responsible for inaccuracies, delays, or outages originating with third-party data providers.

TLE accuracy. Two-Line Element sets are subject to well-documented accuracy degradation over time due to atmospheric drag, solar activity, and propagation model limitations. Position uncertainty for a typical LEO satellite grows on the order of kilometers per day between updates; uncertainty is larger for satellites in active maneuvering, newly deployed satellites without a catalogued TLE, and spacecraft with high area-to-mass ratios. You should not rely on TLE-derived positions for any application requiring sub-kilometer accuracy.

Imagery latency. GOES and Himawari imagery are delivered with processing and transmission latency typically ranging from 1 to 15 minutes. Detections are provided on a best-effort basis and are not suitable for real-time command or control.

12.7 Beta and Experimental Features

We may from time to time offer features labeled "Beta," "Preview," "Experimental," "Alpha," or with similar designations (collectively, "Beta Features"). Beta Features are provided AS-IS and AS-AVAILABLE, may be changed, suspended, or withdrawn at any time without notice, and are not subject to any service-level objectives or committed support. You acknowledge that Beta Features may contain defects and that your use is at your sole risk. Data generated through Beta Features may be deleted without notice when the Beta concludes. The disclaimers and limitations of liability in §12 and §13 apply to Beta Features without any consumer-friendly mitigations (except those that cannot be excluded under applicable law).

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, LAUNCHDETECT AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE, GOODWILL, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

OUR AGGREGATE TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100.00).

THESE LIMITATIONS APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Carve-out. Nothing in this §13 excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including: (a) liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; (b) liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (c) in the UK/EU, liability that cannot be excluded under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or equivalent local consumer-protection law; and (d) any non-waivable statutory rights of consumers in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of incidental or consequential damages; in those jurisdictions, the above limitations apply only to the extent permitted.

14. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless LaunchDetect and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service
• Your violation of these Terms
• Your violation of any applicable laws or regulations
• Your violation of any third-party rights

15. Termination

15.1 Termination by You

You may terminate your account at any time by contacting us or using account management features. Termination does not entitle you to a refund of any fees paid.

15.2 Termination by Us

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice. We may terminate for cause immediately upon notice if you breach these Terms.

15.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, your license to use the Service terminates immediately.

15.4 Survival

The following sections, and any provisions reasonably necessary to give them effect, survive termination of these Terms: §1 (Definitions), §5 (Acceptable Use), §6 (Intellectual Property), §7 (Data and Privacy), §8.3–8.8 (payment obligations incurred before termination), §12 (Disclaimers), §13 (Limitation of Liability), §14 (Indemnification), §15 (Termination), §17 (Dispute Resolution), §18 (General Provisions), §21 (Export and Sanctions), §24 (DMCA), §28 (Anti-Bribery), §29 (Sanctions), §30 (Publicity), §32 (Order of Precedence), and §33 (Electronic Acceptance).

16. Modifications

16.1 Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. For material changes — including but not limited to changes to fees, dispute resolution, governing law, privacy practices, or data rights — we will provide at least thirty (30) days' advance notice by email (to the address on your account), by in-app notice, or by conspicuous posting on launchdetect.com before the change takes effect. Non-material or clarifying changes take effect upon posting with at least seven (7) days' notice. We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of these Terms with each revision. If you do not agree with a material change, you may terminate your subscription before the change takes effect in accordance with §15.1; continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.

16.2 Changes to Service

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time without liability. We will provide reasonable notice of material changes when practicable.

17. Dispute Resolution

17.1 Informal Resolution

Before filing a claim, each party agrees to try to resolve the dispute informally. You must send a written notice of dispute to legal@launchdetect.com describing the nature of the claim and relief sought. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice, either party may commence a formal proceeding as described below.

17.2 Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. This choice of law does not deprive consumers resident in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland of the protection of mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which they have their habitual residence.

17.3 Binding Arbitration (US consumers and business users)

Except for the carve-outs in §17.6 and for consumers in the EU/EEA/UK/Swiss jurisdictions described in §17.7, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for consumer disputes) or its Commercial Arbitration Rules (for business disputes), as applicable. The arbitration shall be conducted in Colorado Springs, Colorado, or such other location as the parties agree in writing or as the AAA selects. For claims seeking less than $10,000, the arbitration may be conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions at your election. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Arbitration fees. For consumer arbitrations under AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, LaunchDetect will pay all AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for any claim seeking less than $10,000, subject to the AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol. For claims seeking $10,000 or more, each party shall pay its own filing and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules unless the arbitrator concludes that a different allocation is required by applicable law. Nothing in this section waives any statutory right to recover fees and costs in the arbitration award. Each party bears its own attorneys' fees except where a statute expressly authorizes fee-shifting.

Mass-arbitration coordination. Where 25 or more similar claims are filed against LaunchDetect by a common group of claimants or their counsel within a 60-day period, the parties agree to coordinate scheduling with the AAA to manage filings efficiently. This provision does not modify the prohibition on class or representative proceedings in §17.4.

17.4 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND LAUNCHDETECT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If this class-action waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (but only that claim) shall be severed from arbitration and may be brought in court, and any class-action waiver found enforceable shall remain in effect.

17.5 30-Day Right to Opt Out of Arbitration

You may opt out of §17.3 and §17.4 by sending a written notice to legal@launchdetect.com within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. Your notice must include your name, the email associated with your account, and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration and class action waiver. Opting out will not affect any other provision of these Terms.

17.6 Exceptions

Notwithstanding the above, either party may: (a) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights or prevent unauthorized access to the Service; (b) pursue small-claims court actions for qualifying claims; and (c) bring any claim that cannot lawfully be subject to pre-dispute arbitration (including, where applicable, claims arising under the US Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act).

17.7 EU / EEA / UK / Swiss Consumers

If you are a consumer resident in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, §17.3 (Binding Arbitration) and §17.4 (Class Action Waiver) do not apply to the extent they are unenforceable under your local law. You may bring proceedings in the courts of the country of your residence, and we will bring any claim against you only in the courts of the country of your residence. EU consumers may also access the European Commission's Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obligated to participate in alternative dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration board.

17.8 Survival

This §17 survives termination of these Terms.

18. General Provisions

18.1 Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any subscription agreements, constitute the entire agreement between you and LaunchDetect regarding the Service.

18.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

18.3 Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

18.4 Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights hereunder without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms without restriction.

18.5 Notices

We may provide notices to you through the Service, by email, or by other reasonable means. You may provide notices to us at info@launchdetect.com.

18.6 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, labor disputes, government actions, or failures of third-party services.
