Terms of Service
Effective date: June 1, 2026 · Last updated: July 6, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the Livewell mobile application and related services (the “App” or “Service”), provided by Franksworld Solutions, LLC (“we,” “us,” or “Livewell”). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, to purchase a subscription, and at least 13 to use the App. By using the App you represent that you meet these requirements.
2. What Livewell does
Livewell aggregates and translates publicly available fish-consumption advisories, fishing regulations, water-access information, weather, and sun/moon (solunar) fishing forecasts into a convenient, mostly on-device format. The App is an informational tool only.
3. Important safety notice — not professional advice
Livewell does not tell you whether any particular fish is safe to eat, and is not a substitute for professional medical, health, legal, or regulatory advice.
- Advisory, regulation, hazard, and other data are derived from third-party and government sources and may be incomplete, outdated, delayed, or inaccurate. Sources change formats, revise guidance, and issue or lift advisories without notice.
- Some content (for example, certain fishing-regulation entries) may be illustrative or simplified and is not a substitute for the current official rules. Size, slot, bag, and season limits and consumption advisories change frequently and vary by waterbody.
- Always verify current information with the issuing state agency, health department, or the relevant authority before eating your catch, keeping fish, or relying on any guidance, and follow the most protective applicable advisory.
- Pregnant or nursing people, people who may become pregnant, and children should follow the strictest applicable guidance and consult a healthcare professional.
- Fishing and being near or on the water carry inherent risks. You are solely responsible for your own safety and for complying with all applicable laws and regulations.
You use the App and rely on its information at your own risk.
4. Livewell Plus subscriptions
- Free and paid tiers. Core features are free. “Livewell Plus” is an optional auto-renewing subscription that unlocks premium features (which may change over time).
- Billing. Subscriptions are sold and processed by Google Play. Payment is charged to your Google Play account at confirmation of purchase.
- Auto-renewal. Your subscription automatically renews for the same period at the then-current price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
- Managing & cancelling. Manage or cancel anytime in the Google Play Store (Subscriptions). Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you keep access until then.
- Free trials / offers. If a free trial or introductory offer is provided, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where applicable.
- Refunds. Purchases are handled by Google Play and are subject to Google’s refund policies. Except where required by law, payments are non-refundable.
- Price changes. We may change subscription prices; changes apply to future billing periods and, where required, with notice and your consent as handled by Google Play.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to: (a) reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code except as permitted by law; (b) misuse, scrape, or overload the data files or services; (c) use the App for any unlawful purpose; or (d) circumvent the App’s subscription or access controls.
6. Intellectual property and data attributions
The App, its design, and original content are owned by Franksworld Solutions, LLC and protected by applicable laws. Subject to these Terms, you receive a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App. Underlying data is sourced from third parties and remains subject to their terms, including:
- Fish-consumption advisories and regulations from U.S. state agencies, health departments, and the U.S. EPA;
- Waterbody names and locations from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS);
- Weather and forecasts from the U.S. National Weather Service / NOAA (public domain);
- Water-access points © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL);
- Photo species identification provided by Google’s Gemini API (default) or fishial.ai (alternative).
7. Third-party services and links
The App integrates third-party services (e.g., Google Play, Google Maps, RevenueCat, the National Weather Service, Google’s Gemini API, fishial.ai) and may link to third-party sources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, their content, or their availability. Your use of them is governed by their terms and policies.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
The app and all data are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, completeness, non-infringement, and that the service will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free. We do not warrant that any advisory, regulation, hazard, weather, or other information is accurate, current, or complete.
9. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Franksworld Solutions, LLC and its officers, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill, illness, injury, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the app or its information, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the app will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us for the app in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD $25.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty disclaimers or liability limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Franksworld Solutions, LLC from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the App or violation of these Terms or applicable law.
11. Termination
We may suspend or discontinue the App, or any feature, at any time. You may stop using the App at any time by uninstalling it. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 3, 6, 8–10) will survive.
12. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will update the “Last updated” date and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
13. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree that any dispute will be resolved in the courts located in the state and federal courts located in the State of Michigan, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where prohibited by law.
