1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading or using Buckmoon (the "App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old to use Buckmoon. If you are between 13 and the age of majority where you live, you must use Buckmoon with the consent and supervision of a parent or guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf.
3. License
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Buckmoon on compatible Apple or Android devices you own or control, in accordance with the terms of the store where you obtained it and these Terms. If you obtained Buckmoon from the App Store, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies. You may not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or redistribute the App except as permitted by law.
4. What Buckmoon Is — and What It Is Not
Buckmoon is an information tool for deer hunters in the United States. It shows a rating for the morning and evening sit, the best window, sunrise, sunset and moon times, legal light, a wind check for your stands, a forecast and an approximate rut phase. Buckmoon is information only and not legal advice.
Legal light. Legal light is your state's shooting-hours rule applied to sunrise and sunset at your spot. It doesn't know season dates, zones, weapon types or Sunday rules, and it isn't legal advice — your state's regulations are the final word. Some states set their hours by official tables or zones. There the state's table governs and has the exact times; Buckmoon works out its times for those states to stay inside the table, so they can start later or end earlier than the table's. Buckmoon shows legal light only when it knows which state your spot is in. You are responsible for knowing and following the hunting laws that apply to you, including seasons, hours, zones, licenses and tags, and for having permission to hunt where you do.
Ratings are odds, not promises. The rating compares the odds at your spot against other days. It can't promise a deer, and a slow day can still be the day. Best windows, wind checks, scent cones and patterns are estimates, and rut phases are approximate dates drawn from state breeding-date studies.
Weather can be wrong. Forecasts change, more so several days out, and weather data can arrive late, be missing or be wrong. Buckmoon is not a weather warning service and must not be relied on for decisions about life, health or safety. For storms, high winds, extreme cold and other dangerous weather, follow the National Weather Service and your local authorities.
5. No Sales or Links
Buckmoon doesn't sell or link to firearms, ammunition, licenses or tags, and it carries no affiliate links or ads.
6. Buckmoon Pro: Subscriptions
Today and tomorrow — the rating, best windows, light band and reasons — every hunting time (legal light, sunrise and sunset, sun and moon times), one stand with its wind check, sits, sightings, the log and exports, widgets, the sit on your Lock Screen, heads-ups before a best window and the night before a strong day, and red light are free for good. Buckmoon Pro adds the full 10-day forecast with the best three days, a wind check for every stand ranked for each sit, all of your patterns, and cold-front heads-ups. Buckmoon Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, billed yearly or monthly. The yearly plan may include a free trial for eligible new subscribers; the purchase screen shows the offer and price available to your store account.
If you cancel, or Pro ends for any other reason, nothing is deleted: your stands, sits, sightings and exports stay. Only Pro's features return to the free version, with one stand of your choice keeping its wind check.
Pro belongs to the Apple ID or Google account you bought it with. Buckmoon has no account of its own, so Pro does not move between iPhone and Android, and purchases do not transfer between the App Store and Google Play.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. A free trial becomes a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the trial. A subscription renews automatically at the same price and period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for the renewal within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel a subscription at any time in Settings › your name › Subscriptions; cancelling stops the next renewal, and Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription. All purchases are processed by Apple; billing, refunds and receipts are handled by Apple under the App Store Terms. You can restore a purchase on a new device from the Pro screen.
The preceding billing paragraph applies to iOS. On Android, payment is charged through your Google account. A trial becomes a paid subscription at the price and interval shown by Google Play unless cancelled before the trial ends. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in Google Play › Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Cancellation normally preserves access until the paid period ends; payment failures, refunds or revocation can change access under Google Play's rules. Google handles billing, refunds and receipts. You can restore Pro on an Android device that uses the same Google account.
7. Data Sources
Weather data from Apple Weather. Ratings, best windows, wind checks and patterns use Apple Weather data, modified by Buckmoon. Apple lists its weather data sources and their legal attribution at developer.apple.com/weatherkit/data-source-attribution.
Sunrise, sunset and moon times are computed on your device. State shooting-hours rules come from each state wildlife agency's published regulations, and the App shows the source and when it was last checked. Rut phases are approximate, from state breeding-date studies.
Time zones: contains information from timezone-boundary-builder, which is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL). Boundary data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
Maps and place search use Apple MapKit on iPhone, with its attribution shown on the map. On Android, place search uses your device's geocoding service. None of these sources endorses Buckmoon.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree to use Buckmoon only for lawful purposes. You will not access Buckmoon's service by automated means other than the App itself, attempt to get around its limits, or use the App in any way that could damage, disable, or impair it, or interfere with any other party's use.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App and its information are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any time, rating, best window, wind check, forecast, rut phase or heads-up will be accurate, complete or on time. Decisions you make using Buckmoon — whether, when and where to hunt — are your own.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SignalRender Inc. will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of data, property or profits, or any fine or penalty, arising from your use of the App or its information.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which SignalRender Inc. is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Buckmoon shall first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. Nothing in these Terms limits rights you have under the mandatory consumer-protection laws of the place where you live.
