Owner shall have the right at any time to change or modify the terms and conditions applicable to future registered User's use of the Site, or any part thereof, or to impose new conditions, including, but not limited to, adding new services charges for use.


3. Description of services

Owner provides User with the necessary resources, including account login information, to access an environment (User Account page) where User configures and manages his Account information. User can specifically add / modify / delete the following information anytime, at his sole discretion:

- name, email address, phone numbers, photo and current location of User;

- name, relationship type, email address, mobile phone numbers and current location of the Beneficiaries, if any.

Based on the type of the subscription (Free, Solo, You&Me, Family), User may be eligible to add to his Account one or more Beneficiaries. The Beneficiaries will be sent email and SMS notifications too. User is uniquely responsible for the information submitted in his account. If the information regarding User and / or his Beneficiaries is not correct or incomplete or misleading or offensive, User will be held responsible for any direct or indirect damage, especially in relation to the violation of one of the Beneficiaries' rights, including but not limited to Privacy Rights.

The data saved in the User Account page is kept for the purpose of alerting User and Beneficiaries and for internal usage statistics. The information will not be disclosed to third parties, unless it is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose identified above. User's data is kept for 1 year after User unregisters from the system.

SMS Tsunami Warning will send Earthquake and Tsunami notifications to the email accounts and the phone numbers saved in User's Account page when a seismic event is recorded in the system. The Site's proprietary algorithm determines whether a seismic event is relevant or not, based on the proximity of User's current location to the Earthquake epicenter. If a seismic event is considered relevant, the Site will send User (and Beneficiaries, if any) an email and / or SMS Text Message notification to inform about the seismic event occurrence (collectively, the "Service"). If a seismic event is not considered relevant, no notifications will be sent to User.

User understands that the alerts provided by the Site are calculated by a computer without human intervention and that errors are possible. User understands he cannot use this information for decision making without alternate sources of information to confirm or disprove the Site's alerts. The Service can only be used for disaster monitoring purposes.

* User enters account information, password, email address, phone number, current location, photo for himself and his beneficiaries;

* SMS Tsunami Warning emails User to confirm the account creation and contacts the designated beneficiaries to inform them that they have been selected by User as beneficiaries;

* Upon the occurrence of a relevant seismic event, SMS Tsunami Warning sends a notification to User and any designated Beneficiaries;

* Designated beneficiaries are granted the possibility of denying User the possibility to use their assets (email address, phone number) for notification delivery.

The Services, including any updates, enhancements, new features, and/or the addition of any new Web properties, are subject to the TOU.
