By accessing or using SnowDayCalculation.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and anyone who accesses the Site.
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service constitute a legally binding agreement between you and the operator of SnowDayCalculation.com ("we," "us," or "our"). We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
2. Description of Service
Snow Day Calculation provides an AI-powered weather prediction tool that estimates the probability of school closures due to winter weather. The service is provided free of charge for personal, non-commercial use. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the service at any time without notice.
3. Predictions Are Informational Only
All predictions, probability scores, and weather analyses provided by this Site are estimates for informational and educational purposes only. They are not official school announcements, emergency alerts, or authoritative weather forecasts.
- Snow Day Calculation is not affiliated with any school district, government agency, meteorological service, or weather authority.
- School closure decisions are made by individual school districts based on many factors that our model cannot fully account for, including road conditions, bus availability, staff safety, and local policy.
- Always verify school closure status through your district's official communication channels — website, app, automated phone system, or local news.
- Do not use this tool as the sole basis for making decisions about attendance, travel, or childcare.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. You must not:
- Attempt to scrape, crawl, or systematically extract data from the Site in a way that places excessive load on our servers or the APIs we depend on
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code or prediction algorithms from the Site beyond what is publicly visible
- Use the Site to distribute malware, spam, or any harmful content
- Impersonate the Site or represent our predictions as official school district announcements
- Use automated tools to make excessive API requests through our interface
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and all content, predictions, and information it provides are offered "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties including but not limited to:
- Warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
- Warranties that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate
- Warranties that predictions will match actual school closure outcomes
Weather forecasting is inherently uncertain. Prediction accuracy depends on the quality of third-party weather data and regional models we cannot control.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the operator of Snow Day Calculation shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its predictions. This includes but is not limited to damages for missed school days, childcare decisions, travel disruptions, or any reliance on prediction scores.
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from your use of the Site shall not exceed the amount you paid to use the Site (which, as a free service, is zero).
