CoastCue policies
Terms
These terms apply to the CoastCue website, launch list, support service, and Android app. By using CoastCue, you agree to use it responsibly and only for lawful purposes.
Planning information, not a guarantee
Fishing outlooks are planning estimates based on conditions such as tide movement, wind, weather, daylight, moon timing, and available water observations. They do not predict fish presence, promise a catch, or guarantee that a location is safe or accessible.
Not for navigation or life-safety decisions
CoastCue is not a navigation system, emergency service, or substitute for official marine forecasts, warnings, local rules, or on-site judgment. Conditions can change quickly. Always check official sources and make your own safety decisions before going on or near the water.
Data sources and availability
CoastCue uses information from sources including NOAA CO-OPS and the National Weather Service. Data may be delayed, unavailable, incomplete, cached, or affected by station and network outages. The app labels observed, predicted, estimated, and cached information so you can understand what you are viewing.
Pre-release features and pricing
Website previews describe the product direction. Features, availability, and pricing may change before release. A pricing target or planned feature is not a final offer or commitment. CoastCue will publish final terms before paid service begins.
Acceptable use
You may not interfere with the website or app, attempt unauthorized access, send abusive or unlawful support messages, automate excessive requests, or use CoastCue in a way that harms the service or other people.
Intellectual property
CoastCue names, logos, interface designs, and original content belong to their respective owner. NOAA and NWS data and names remain subject to the terms and attribution requirements of those agencies.
Service changes
We may improve, limit, suspend, or discontinue part of the service. We will make reasonable efforts to communicate material changes that affect launch-list members or released app features.
Liability
To the extent permitted by law, CoastCue is provided as available and without guarantees of uninterrupted operation or particular fishing results. You remain responsible for travel, boating, weather, fishing, and safety decisions.
