Terms of Use

These terms describe use of Aurora Tonight on iOS and Android, including its forecast, learning and community features. The app is provided by the operator named in our Privacy Policy.

Forecasts and AI answers

Aurora forecasts are estimates. Visibility depends on changing space weather, darkness, cloud cover and local conditions. Readings can be delayed or unavailable, and an alert does not guarantee that an aurora will be visible. Ask Aurora generates AI answers that can be inaccurate or incomplete. Check important information against reliable sources.

The app is not an emergency, navigation or personal-safety service. Use it as one source of information, alongside current weather, road conditions and official guidance.

Viewing responsibly

Check access restrictions, weather and terrain before travelling. Respect private property, local laws and other people. A recommended viewing spot is not a promise that it is currently accessible or safe. Do not interact with the app while driving.

Free and paid features

Available features can differ by platform, region and app version. Remote alerts and paid plans are available only where the app explicitly offers them. Android remote alerts are unavailable in the current release configuration.

Where Aurora Pro is offered, the purchase screen identifies the included features, billing period, total price and any trial or introductory offer before you confirm. Recurring subscriptions renew according to the store's purchase terms unless cancelled. After a trial, the disclosed subscription price applies unless you cancel in time under those terms.

Aurora Pro lifts the free plan's limit of three alert rules. Unlimited alert rules are subject to fair use: to keep alerts reliable for everyone, the service holds up to 50 alert rules for each installation.

Apple or Google processes the purchase. Manage or cancel through the store account used to subscribe. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription. Cancellation normally stops future renewal while access continues for the already-paid period, subject to refunds, store rules and applicable law. Refund requests follow the relevant store's process and your statutory rights.

Use the app's restore option with the same store account to check an existing purchase. Purchases are not automatically transferable between Apple and Google accounts or stores.

App licence and other services

Your download is also subject to the applicable app-store terms. On Apple platforms, Apple's standard app licence applies unless a custom licence is provided through the App Store. These service terms do not replace that licence or remove rights it grants. Map, directions, webcam and other external services have their own terms.

Community content

Only submit content you have the right to share. Do not post unlawful, abusive, hateful, sexually explicit, harassing, misleading or infringing material, spam, or another person's private information. Do not fabricate sightings or use the service to target other users.

You retain ownership of your content. By submitting it, you give us a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to store, display and process it as needed to operate and moderate the community feature. This permission does not transfer ownership or authorise unrelated advertising use.

You can report inappropriate sightings and hide posts from a person. We may reject, hide or remove content or restrict abusive use. Reporting or hiding a post does not guarantee immediate deletion of every stored record. You can delete your own sightings through the app, subject to ownership verification, and contact support if you cannot access that control.

Acceptable use and availability

Do not bypass access controls or rate limits, interfere with the service, attempt to access another person's data, or use the app unlawfully. Nothing here restricts activity that applicable law permits and that cannot validly be restricted by contract.

Features may be interrupted by maintenance, connectivity, upstream outages or platform restrictions. We may change or discontinue features, while respecting applicable notice, refund and consumer-protection obligations. Availability and notification delivery are not guaranteed.

Your legal rights

To the extent permitted by law, forecasts and informational content are provided without a guarantee of accuracy or uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including applicable mandatory consumer rights. We do not impose a blanket waiver of responsibility for all loss or injury.

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, United States. If you live elsewhere, you keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the place where you live and can bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes and contact

We will communicate material changes appropriately and obtain agreement where required. Updated terms do not remove rights that already apply to a purchase or claim.
