This Safety Disclaimer ("Disclaimer") applies to your use of The SOS App ("the App"), operated by The Drone Wave LLC, doing business as Scintilla Dev ("we," "us," or "our").

By using the App, you acknowledge and agree to the statements below.

1. Not a Replacement for Emergency Services

The SOS App is not a substitute for calling emergency services (such as 911). In any dangerous or life‑threatening situation, you must contact emergency services directly.

2. No Guarantee of Performance

The App depends on GPS, mobile networks, internet connectivity, device sensors, battery level, and third‑party services (Supabase, Firebase, Mapbox). Because of these dependencies, the App may:

• Fail to send alerts
• Send alerts late
• Provide inaccurate or outdated location data
• Stop working due to device or network issues
• Be unavailable during outages

We do not guarantee continuous, accurate, or reliable operation.

3. User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

• Your personal safety
• Ensuring your device is charged and functioning
• Ensuring your contacts have consented to receive alerts
• Using the App appropriately and legally

The App is a supplementary tool, not a primary safety system.

• Missed, delayed, or undelivered alerts
• Incorrect or outdated GPS location
• Device, battery, or network failures
• Harm, injury, or loss resulting from reliance on the App
• Actions or inactions of your emergency contacts or family members

5. Third‑Party Dependencies

The App relies on third‑party services for:

• Database and authentication (Supabase)
• Push notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
• Map rendering (Mapbox)
• Country detection (ipapi.co)

We do not control or guarantee the availability or performance of these services.

6. No Professional Advice

The App does not provide medical advice, legal advice, emergency response services, or professional rescue services.
