These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of The SOS App ("the App"), operated by The Drone Wave LLC, doing business as Scintilla Dev ("we," "us," or "our"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Purpose of the App
The SOS App is a supplementary personal safety tool designed to help users share their location with trusted contacts. It is NOT a replacement for emergency services. In any life‑threatening situation, you must call your local emergency number immediately.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age required in your region) to use the App.
3. User Account
To use certain features, you may need to create an account using email and password, Google Sign‑In, or other supported authentication providers.
You agree to provide accurate information, keep your login credentials secure, and be responsible for all activity under your account.
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
4. User Responsibilities
By using the App, you agree that:
- You are solely responsible for your own safety
- You will not rely exclusively on the App during emergencies
- You will maintain a charged, functioning device
- You will ensure your emergency contacts and family members consent to receiving alerts and location data
- You will comply with all applicable laws
5. Technology Limitations
The App depends on GPS, mobile networks, device sensors, and third‑party services. These may fail, be inaccurate, or become unavailable without notice.
The App may not function properly due to:
- Weak or unavailable GPS signal
- No mobile or internet connectivity
- Battery depletion or device shutdown
- Operating system restrictions
- Hardware or software malfunctions
- Third‑party outages (Firebase, Supabase, Mapbox, etc.)
We do not guarantee continuous or error‑free operation.
6. No Emergency Service
The App does not contact emergency services and cannot guarantee that your contacts will receive alerts. You must always call emergency services directly when in danger.
7. Consent to Share Location
By using the App, you authorize us to collect your real‑time GPS location when SOS tracking or family sharing is active, transmit your location to your selected contacts, and store location history as required for App functionality.
You are responsible for ensuring your contacts consent to receiving your information.
8. Family Connections
Adding a family member requires mutual consent. Either party may remove the connection at any time, which immediately stops location sharing.
9. Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Use the App for unlawful, harmful, or abusive purposes
- Stalk, harass, or improperly track others
- Misuse location‑sharing features
- Attempt to reverse engineer, modify, or disrupt the App
- Impersonate others or provide false information

We do not guarantee:
- Accuracy of GPS data
