Terms & conditions

Acceptable website usage

You may use the site for personal, educational, and non-commercial planning purposes consistent with these terms and applicable law. You agree not to misuse the service, attempt unauthorized access, interfere with site operation, or use automated means in a way that degrades performance for others.

Informational-use disclaimer

Snow day predictions are estimates only. The site provides generalized modeling and educational context. It does not read your district’s internal policies, staffing levels, or real-time road treatment decisions.

School closures depend on local decisions and conditions. Districts may close, delay, or remain open for reasons beyond snowfall totals, including power outages, extreme cold policies, and operational constraints.

You should always confirm official announcements independently. The website is not responsible for missed school, travel, or scheduling decisions you make based on estimates shown here.

Weather prediction accuracy disclaimer

Weather forecasts contain uncertainty. Forecast APIs may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate for microclimates. Manual inputs may be incorrect. Any percentage shown is a simplified composite score, not a certified probability from a meteorological authority.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Varyense and its contributors disclaim liability for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site, including decisions related to travel, childcare, work attendance, or school attendance.

The site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, except where such disclaimers are prohibited by law.

Intellectual property rights

The website’s branding, layout, text, graphics, and underlying software are owned by Varyense or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or lease our materials without permission, except for limited fair uses (such as quoting small excerpts with attribution where allowed by law).

Third-party links and services

The site may reference or integrate third-party services (including weather data providers). Those services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, or practices.

Prohibited usage

You may not use the site to violate law, harass others, distribute malware, scrape in an abusive manner, misrepresent affiliation with a school district, or attempt to reverse engineer the service in violation of applicable agreements or law.

Service modifications

We may change features, formulas, copy, availability, or infrastructure at any time. We may suspend access for maintenance, security, or legal reasons. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated experience where permitted by law.

User responsibility for weather-related decisions

Winter weather can be dangerous. You are solely responsible for decisions involving travel, outdoor exposure, and emergency preparedness. Follow guidance from local government, schools, transit agencies, and credentialed meteorologists—especially during storms, ice events, and extreme cold.

Governing law and disputes

Unless otherwise required by applicable consumer protection law in your jurisdiction, these terms are governed by the laws chosen by Varyense for its business operations, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Courts in the selected venue may have exclusive jurisdiction, except where prohibited.
