These Terms of Service explain the rules, billing terms, acceptable use, and legal framework for using RORA.
Welcome to RORA, an application created by Flynch MB ("Flynch," "we," or "us") that forecasts the aurora and sends aurora alerts. By accessing or using the RORA mobile application, its widgets, or related services (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the "Terms"). If you do not agree, you may not use the Service.
RORA estimates the chance of seeing the aurora from a place you choose, for tonight and the next nights. The estimate combines public space weather data from NOAA, cloud cover forecasts, and darkness at your place. With RORA Pro, the Service can also send a notification when the chance passes a threshold you set, and show the forecast in Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. The Service may include experimental features and beta releases.
You must be at least 13 years old, or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction, to use RORA. For users in the European Union, you must be at least 16 years old unless a lower age is permitted by local law. RORA requires no account.
The aurora forecast for your place is free, as described in the app.
RORA Pro is an auto-renewing subscription that adds aurora alerts and additional widgets, as described in the purchase flow. Alerts need notifications to be allowed on your device and an internet connection. RORA sends at most one alert per night for a place.
RORA Pro is offered as auto-renewing weekly and yearly plans described in the purchase flow, with prices shown by the App Store or Google Play in your local currency. On iPhone, unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, subscriptions renew automatically and payment is charged to your Apple ID. On Android, subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled and payment is charged to your Google Play account; cancelling keeps Pro active until the end of the paid period. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions) or in your App Store account settings.
Where offered, the yearly plan starts with a free trial of the length shown in the purchase flow. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the trial converts to a paid yearly subscription and your Apple ID or Google Play account is charged. Free trials are available once per Apple ID or Google account, as decided by the store.
Purchases are made through the Apple App Store, billed by Apple, and subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions; or through Google Play, billed by Google, and subject to the Google Play Terms of Service.
All purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to that store's refund policies. To request a refund, contact Apple through your Apple ID account, or Google through Google Play. We are not able to issue refunds for store purchases.
An active subscription can be restored on any device signed in to the same Apple ID or Google account, using "Restore purchases" in the app's Settings.
We may provide promotional trials, offer codes, or beta features. We reserve the right to modify or revoke these benefits at any time. Promotional access has no cash value and expires as stated in the offer.
The aurora is a natural event that cannot be predicted with certainty. RORA's chances, verdicts, best times, and alerts are estimates based on third-party data that may be late, missing, or wrong. The aurora may appear when RORA shows a low chance, and may not appear when RORA shows a high chance or sends an alert. Alerts can be delayed or not delivered, for example when your device is offline, notifications are turned off, or a notification service is unavailable. Do not rely on RORA for travel bookings, safety decisions, or any purpose where a wrong forecast could cause loss.
Watching the aurora often means going outside at night, in the cold, and away from towns. You are responsible for your own safety. Dress for the weather, respect private property and local rules, stay away from roads and hazards, and never use the app while driving.
Our collection, use, and sharing of personal information are described in the RORA Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described there.
We aim to keep RORA running smoothly but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may release updates that change how features work, and some updates may be required to continue using the Service. Support is available via hello@theflynch.com.
RORA is distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play, uses public data from NOAA and weather services, and relies on third-party providers for maps, notification delivery, hosting, and subscription management. Your use of the Service is subject to the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions or the Google Play Terms of Service, and to the policies of any provider we use to deliver the Service. We are not responsible for third-party services and do not guarantee their availability, accuracy, or behavior.
RORA, including its software, forecast model, visual identity, trademarks, and documentation, is owned by Flynch or its licensors. Except for the rights expressly granted in these Terms, we reserve all rights, title, and interest in the Service. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive source code, nor may you remove proprietary notices. Forecast images you share from the app may be posted freely for personal, non-commercial use.
You agree to:
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. FLYNCH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE ACCURATE, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED. AURORA CHANCES, FORECASTS, AND ALERTS ARE ESTIMATES AND ARE NOT A GUARANTEE THAT THE AURORA WILL OR WILL NOT BE VISIBLE. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR USE OF THE SERVICE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FLYNCH AND ITS DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS, AND AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUES, DATA, OR GOODWILL, INCLUDING COSTS OF TRAVEL OR MISSED SIGHTINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS IN ANY 12-MONTH PERIOD WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO FLYNCH FOR THE SERVICE DURING THAT PERIOD.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Flynch and its affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to your use of the Service or your breach of these Terms.
We may suspend or terminate access to the Service if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, legal requirements, or usage policies. You may cancel your subscription at any time through your App Store or Google Play account settings. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including Sections 13, 15, 16, and 17.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Lithuania, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction in the courts of Vilnius, Lithuania. Where prohibited by law, mandatory consumer protection rights supersede this clause.
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in technology, regulations, or our business. When we make material changes, we will notify you via in-product messaging or by posting an update on our website. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
For questions, feedback, or legal notices, contact hello@theflynch.com or write to Flynch MB, Vilnius, Lithuania.
By using RORA, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms of Service.
