Terms of use
These terms are an agreement between you and RWD Industries LLC ("we") for using Beacon. By using Beacon you agree to them.
Using Beacon
- Only share location with people who have agreed to it. Adults in a circle can always see who can see them. Don't use Beacon to track someone without their knowledge or consent.
- You must be at least 13 to create an account. You may create dependent profiles only for children or other people you are the parent, legal guardian or authorised caregiver of, and you're responsible for those profiles.
- Don't misuse Beacon: no false alerts, harassment, or attempts to break or overload the service.
Safety features are free
SOS, emergency alerts, the Beacon Network relay, the live family map and Lighthouses are free and will stay free. Beacon is supported by ads on adult profiles and by an optional paid plan that covers convenience features only.
Beacon Plus (optional subscription)
- Beacon Plus is billed through the App Store or Google Play at the price shown before you buy, for one family.
- It renews automatically for the same period and price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Cancel any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings; you keep Plus until the end of the period you've paid for.
- Any free trial is shown before you start it; if you don't cancel before it ends, the subscription begins and you're charged.
- Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their policies. If Plus ends, every safety feature keeps working.
No guarantee
We work hard to make Beacon reliable, but we can't promise it will always work: phones lose signal and power, operating systems limit background activity, and networks fail. Beacon is provided "as is" to the extent the law allows.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, RWD Industries LLC and its members are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss or harm arising from an alert, location or message that was not sent, delivered, accurate or seen. Our total liability for any claim relating to Beacon is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for Beacon in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Indemnity
You agree to cover any claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) that arise from your misuse of Beacon or your breach of these terms, including tracking someone without their consent.
Disputes
Before filing a claim, contact us so we can try to resolve it informally within 30 days. Either of us may bring a claim in small-claims court. Otherwise, claims must be brought in the state or federal courts in Texas, and each side gives up the right to a jury trial and to bring a class action, to the extent the law allows.
Changes and ending use
We may update these terms; we'll post the new version here and tell you in the app before material changes take effect. You can stop using Beacon and delete your account at any time in the app. We may suspend accounts that break these terms or put others at risk.
App stores
If you got Beacon from the App Store, Apple's standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies, Apple has no obligation to provide support or maintenance, and Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these terms. Google Play's terms apply to downloads from Google Play.
Law and contact
These terms are governed by the laws of Texas, USA. Questions: contact our support team.
