Terms of Use
In an emergency, call your local emergency number first. STEADY is a planning and reference tool. It does not contact anyone for you and does not know what is happening around you.
1. What STEADY is
STEADY is a mobile application that helps a household prepare for interruptions of power, water and communication. It offers an offline reference library, planning tools, inventory tracking and estimates based on figures you enter.
2. Informational content, not professional advice
The library and the estimates are general information compiled from public sources, with the source and review date shown on each entry. They are not medical, legal, engineering or safety advice for your specific situation, and they do not replace instructions from emergency services, utilities or public authorities. First aid entries describe commonly published guidance; they do not qualify you to treat anyone and are not a substitute for professional care.
3. Your responsibility
You decide what to store, what to do and when to seek help. Check expiry dates, local regulations and the suitability of any technique for your home before relying on it. Estimates depend on what you enter; unknown quantities are shown as unknown, not as zero, but the result is only as good as the inputs.
4. Purchases
- Full access is a one-time, non-consumable in-app purchase. It unlocks the full library and planning features on the device and store account where it was bought, and can be restored on the same store account.
- Scan packs are consumable in-app purchases that add a number of photo scans to your balance. Credits do not expire and are not refunded once used. Credits are tied to the anonymous app identifier and store account; uninstalling the app without a store purchase record may lose unused credits.
- Prices are set in the App Store and Google Play and shown there in your currency. All purchases are governed by Apple's or Google's terms in addition to these.
- Refunds are requested from Apple or Google under their policies. We cannot issue refunds directly. If a purchase is refunded or revoked, premium features lock again but your own data remains in the app.
- Purchases do not transfer between the Apple and Google platforms.
5. Photo scan
The photo scan feature sends an image to our server and to a third-party AI provider to produce a list of items. Results may be wrong or incomplete; you must review them before saving. Do not photograph people, identity documents or anything you are not entitled to share. A scan that fails on our side is not charged.
6. Content updates
We aim to review and expand the library over time and to deliver updates to the app when it is online. Updates are provided on a best-effort basis. The purchase does not guarantee a specific number of future entries, features or a maintenance period, and we may retire entries that no longer meet our review standard.
7. Acceptable use
Do not reverse-engineer, scrape or redistribute the content library, circumvent purchase checks, or use the scan service in an automated or abusive way. We may rate-limit or block abusive use.
8. Intellectual property
The app, its design and its original content are ours or our licensors'. Public-domain guidance from government agencies remains public domain. You may use the app for personal, non-commercial household preparedness.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The app and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy or uninterrupted availability. Preparedness outcomes depend on circumstances outside our control.
10. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for any loss, injury or damage arising from reliance on the app or its content. Our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it in the twelve months before the claim. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations; in that case they apply to the extent permitted.
11. Changes to the service and these terms
We may change or discontinue features and may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, and disputes are subject to the courts there, except where consumer law in your country gives you non-waivable rights.
