Thermal Lab Pro Terms of Service

Effective date: November 5, 2026 · Version: 2.1

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Wayward Ridge LLC, an Indiana limited liability company based in Allen County, Indiana ("Wayward Ridge," "we," "us"). They cover Thermal Lab Pro, also called Thermal Lab, including the thermallabpro.com website, the web app, any mobile app, and related software, data and services (the "Service").

Please read Sections 10, 11, 14 and 18 carefully. They protect our software, restrict copying and AI use, cover legal costs when those rules are broken, set where disputes are heard, and waive class actions and jury trials.

1. Accepting these Terms

By creating an account, checking the agreement box, starting a subscription or trial, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy and our Refund Policy. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
You agree that checking a box or clicking a button is your electronic signature and that we may give you agreements, notices and other communications electronically, by email or in the Service. Electronic notices satisfy any requirement that a notice be in writing.
If you accepted an earlier version of these Terms, we will notify you of this version by email or in the Service at least 30 days before it takes effect for you. Until then, you may keep using the Service under the earlier version without accepting this one. This version applies to you on the earlier of (a) the date you accept it or (b) the end of that 30-day period, if you keep using the Service or your subscription renews after that. If you don't agree, you may cancel before this version takes effect for you. This version does not apply to any dispute that was pending, or that either of us had notified the other of in writing, before it took effect for you.

2. Who can use the Service

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live, if higher) and able to form a binding contract.
You may not use the Service if you are barred from it under applicable law or if we have previously closed your account.
You confirm that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. government embargo or designated by the U.S. government as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

3. The Service gives estimates only

Thermal Lab Pro uses public and commercial elevation, vegetation, water and weather data and a computer model to estimate how air, thermals and scent may move across terrain. Everything it shows, including wind, gusts, thermals, scent paths, heat maps, water, timber, Grey Light, sunrise and sunset times, your location marker and any scent plume shown from your position, is a computer-generated estimate for general informational and educational purposes. It is not a measurement, forecast or guarantee.

Real wind, thermals, scent movement, weather and animal behavior can and will differ from what the Service shows, sometimes greatly.
Model output depends on third-party data that can be incomplete, outdated or wrong (Section 13).
The Service does not promise that you will see, approach or harvest any animal.
Always confirm conditions yourself in the field, for example with a wind checker.

4. Your safety

Hunting, climbing, tree stands, firearms, archery, water and outdoor travel carry serious risk of injury or death. You are solely responsible for your safety and the safety of anyone with you.

Use a full-body safety harness whenever you are off the ground, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for all equipment.
Tell someone your plan, carry appropriate gear and check official weather forecasts.
Location display is approximate. If you turn on location, the Service shows an estimate of your position based on your device's GPS. It can be inaccurate, delayed or unavailable. Do not rely on the Service for navigation, emergencies, weather safety or any purpose that requires precise direction, distance or location. Carry a dedicated navigation device or map and know how to use it.
Do not use the Service while driving or operating machinery.

5. Laws, land and property

You are solely responsible for knowing and following all federal, state, tribal and local laws and regulations, including hunting seasons, the times of day when hunting is legal, licensing, bag limits, weapon rules, baiting rules and trespass laws.

The Service does not tell you when hunting is legal. Grey Light, sunrise and sunset times are astronomical estimates only and are not a statement of when hunting is legal.
The Service does not show property lines, legal boundaries or land ownership and is not a legal survey. Your location marker, Spots and model squares do not mean you are on land you may enter or hunt. Nothing in the Service gives you permission to enter or use any land. Get permission from the landowner before entering private land, and check official records for boundaries.

6. Subscriptions, billing, renewal and refunds

Plans. Some or all features require a paid subscription. Prices, billing periods and plan features are shown before you pay.
Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, and your payment method is charged, until you cancel. We show the price, billing period and renewal terms and ask for your agreement before you pay, and you receive a confirmation that explains how to cancel. Where the law requires it, you also receive renewal reminders.
Free trials, gifts and promotional codes. If we offer a free trial, a discount, a gift period or another promotional code, we may ask for a payment method up front. Unless you cancel before the trial, gift or promotional period ends, your paid subscription continues and you are charged the regular price shown when you accepted the offer, unless we have notified you of a price change as described below. Each offer's length, price and any limits are shown before you accept it. Codes have no cash value, can't be resold or transferred, and may be limited to one per person. We may stop offering a code at any time. Ending an offer doesn't affect a code you already redeemed, unless it was obtained through fraud, abuse or error or your account is closed under Section 21.
Cancelling. You can cancel any time online in your account settings (Account › Subscription), at link.com for website subscriptions, or by emailing jake@waywardridge.com. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period, and you keep access until then. Deleting the app or not using the Service does not cancel your subscription.
Refunds. Fees are non-refundable, including for partial billing periods, except where the law requires otherwise or as stated in our Refund Policy. If we permanently shut down the Service, we will refund the unused portion of any prepaid subscription.
Price changes. We may change prices. We'll notify you 30 days before a price change applies to your renewal, with cancellation instructions, so you can cancel first.
Payments and taxes. Subscriptions bought on our website are sold and billed through Link, a Stripe company, which acts as reseller (merchant of record) for the payment. Your card statement will show "LINK.COM*" with our name. Link's checkout terms govern the payment itself; these Terms govern the Service. You authorize Link and Stripe to charge your payment method for all fees and applicable taxes. You can view, cancel or update your subscription and payment method at link.com. Link may issue refunds under its own policies in addition to ours. If a payment fails, we may suspend paid features until it is resolved.
Chargebacks. If you think a charge is wrong, contact us or Link first so it can be fixed (Refund Policy, Section 4). If you dispute a valid charge with your bank, we may suspend your account while the dispute is open.
App stores. If you subscribe through an app store, that store's billing, cancellation and refund rules apply, and we can't cancel or refund those purchases for you. If you subscribed through Apple, cancel in your Apple Account subscription settings.

7. Your account

You must give accurate information and keep it current. You are responsible for keeping your login secure and for everything that happens under your account.

One person per subscription. Don't share your login, let anyone else use your account, or resell access.
We may monitor for account sharing and other misuse, and may limit, suspend or close an account that is being shared or misused.
Tell us right away at jake@waywardridge.com if you think your account has been compromised.

8. Sharing with other users

The Service lets you share saved properties, stands and related content with other Thermal Lab Pro subscribers you choose. Sharing works only between accounts in the Service.

You decide what to share and with whom. Once you share, the people you share with can view that content and may remember or record it; we can't undo what they have already seen.
Only share locations and information you have the right to share, and respect landowners' privacy and wishes.
We are not responsible for what other users do with content you share.

9. Your content and data

"Your Content" means the properties, pins, stands, notes, paint edits, photos, bug reports and other information you add to the Service. Your Content does not include the Service, its software or its output. A screenshot, recording or bug report shows our material; you own only the information you added, and our material in it remains ours and subject to Sections 10 to 12.

You own Your Content. You give us a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, process, copy and display Your Content only to run, secure and improve the Service for you and the people you share with. This license ends when you delete Your Content or your account, except for routine backups kept for a limited time and anything we must keep by law.
We don't sell your stand locations or use your name or likeness to promote the Service without your separate permission.
We may use aggregated, de-identified data that cannot reasonably identify you or a specific location to improve the model.
You are responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the right to add it.
Feedback. If you send us ideas or suggestions, we may use them without obligation to you.

10. Our software and how we protect it

License. Subject to these Terms and to an active paid subscription, free trial, promotional or gift period, or other access we grant you ("authorized access"), we give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to use the Service, and to run the software we deliver to your account on devices you own or control, for your own non-commercial hunting and scouting. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. The software is licensed, not sold.
Confidential information and trade secrets. The Service's simulation engine, models, methods, formulas, parameters, tuning values, data processing and source and object code are our confidential information and trade secrets, even when parts of them run on your device. You agree to keep them confidential and not to access, copy, disclose or use them except to use the Service as these Terms allow. Any information you obtain by reverse engineering, by working around our protection measures, or otherwise in violation of these Terms is obtained in breach of your duty of confidentiality and is not a lawful means of acquisition.
Protection measures. We use technical measures to protect the Service, including sign-in checks, access tokens, encryption, compiled and obscured code and usage limits. These are technological measures that control access to and protect our copyrighted works. You may not remove, disable, bypass or work around any of them.
Marked copies. Software we deliver to your account may contain unique markings that identify the account it was delivered to. We may use those markings to find, trace and act on unauthorized copies.
Acting for others. If you use the Service for, on behalf of, at the direction of or for the benefit of a company or other person (including as an employee, contractor or consultant), you confirm you have authority to bind them, and these Terms bind both you and them; if you lack that authority, you are personally responsible as if you were that party. Competitors of Wayward Ridge, and their employees, contractors and agents acting for them, may not access the Service without our written permission.
Notices. Don't remove or change any copyright, trademark, confidentiality, attribution or other notice in the Service, including map attribution.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to, and not to help or allow anyone else to:

copy the Service: copy, download, save, extract, export or capture the Service's software, engine or code by any means, including from a browser, developer tools, network traffic, a device's memory, storage or cache, or an installed app;
take it apart: reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, deobfuscate, decrypt, debug, trace or otherwise try to discover or reconstruct the source code, engine, models, methods, formulas, parameters or tuning values, by hand or with automated or AI tools, except where a law expressly allows it despite this restriction;
feed it to AI: use the Service, its software, its output, or any screenshots, recordings or data taken from it to train, fine-tune, test, evaluate, benchmark, prompt or improve any artificial intelligence or machine-learning model, or to build, train or operate any model, dataset or tool that imitates, predicts or replaces any part of the Service;
scrape it: scrape, crawl, harvest, bulk-download, systematically collect or record model output, or use bots, scripts or other automated tools to access the Service;
compete with it: use the Service, its software or its output to research, design, build, improve or market a competing product or service, or access the Service for competitive analysis;
use it commercially: resell, sublicense, rent, lend, host, frame, mirror, distribute or commercially use the Service or its output, or use it for any business, guiding, outfitting or client service, without a separate written agreement signed by Wayward Ridge. Business, data and API access are available only under such an agreement;
break in or overload it: bypass access controls, protection measures, rate limits or payment; share your login; probe or test the Service's vulnerabilities; interfere with or overload the Service; or introduce malware;
misuse it: use the Service to break any law, trespass, harass anyone or violate anyone's rights.

What you may share. You may post individual screenshots, or screen recordings up to 60 seconds long, of your own results on social media or send them to friends for personal, non-commercial purposes, as long as you keep our names, marks and notices. This doesn't allow systematic capture (for example, a series covering many hours, dates, settings or locations to record how the model behaves), and it gives no one permission to use that content for anything this Section prohibits.

These restrictions are a condition of your access and part of what you pay for. They apply whether or not any particular output is protected by copyright.

12. Our property

The Service, including the software, simulation engine, models, the output the Service generates, designs, text, graphics, recordings and the Thermal Lab Pro, Thermal Lab and Wayward Ridge names and logos, is owned by Wayward Ridge or its licensors and protected by copyright, trade secret, trademark and other laws. Any copy, reconstruction, translation or derivative of the Service or its software made in violation of these Terms is owned by Wayward Ridge, and you assign to Wayward Ridge any rights you may have in it.

13. Third-party data and services

The Service uses data and services from third parties, including public government data sources and commercial mapping, imagery, hosting, database, email and payment providers. We don't control these sources. They can be incomplete, outdated, wrong or unavailable. You must follow any third-party terms that apply to your use of the Service, such as your app store's terms and your wireless carrier's data plan. Thermal Lab Pro is not affiliated with or endorsed by any government agency or third-party provider.

14. Enforcing our rights

Court orders. A breach of Section 10, 11 or 12 would cause Wayward Ridge irreparable harm that money alone could not fix. Wayward Ridge may ask any court with jurisdiction for an injunction or other court order to stop or prevent the breach, in addition to any other remedy, and without first following Section 18's informal process. To the extent the law allows, you agree that no bond or other security will be required.
Legal costs. In any lawsuit or court proceeding about a breach of Section 10, 11 or 12, the party that wins is entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and expert and investigation fees, including on appeal and to collect a judgment, in addition to any other relief.
Other remedies. Wayward Ridge may also suspend or close your account without refund, recover damages, including any profits made from the breach, and use every other right it has under copyright, trade secret, trademark, computer and other laws. These remedies add to each other.

15. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAYWARD RIDGE DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ITS OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, RELIABLE, UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE. Some places don't allow these exclusions, so some may not apply to you. If you live in New Jersey, the exclusions and limits in Sections 15 and 16 apply only as New Jersey law permits.

16. Assumption of risk and limitation of liability

You use the Service and rely on its output at your own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Wayward Ridge and its owners, members, managers, employees and contractors from all claims for injury, death, property damage, fines or other loss arising from the risks described in Sections 3 to 5, including claims based on our own negligence in building, running or providing the Service or its output. This release does not cover gross negligence, willful misconduct, or anything the law does not allow to be released.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

WAYWARD RIDGE AND ITS OWNERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS AND PARTNERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, or for lost profits, lost data, lost game, lost hunting opportunity, fines or legal penalties, personal injury, death or property damage, arising from or related to the Service, however caused and under any theory of liability.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATED TO THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.
To the extent the law allows, any claim you have related to the Service must be filed within one year after you knew or should have known of it. Where a law requires a longer minimum period, that period applies.

These limits don't apply to liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for our gross negligence or willful misconduct where the law so requires. These limits do not reduce fees you owe or your liability for breaching Section 10, 11 or 12.

17. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Wayward Ridge and its owners, members, managers, employees and contractors from any claim brought by a third party (anyone other than you or us), and from the resulting damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, to the extent the claim arises from Your Content, content you share, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of any law or anyone's rights, including trespass or hunting violations. This Section does not apply to claims between you and us.

18. Disputes: courts, class-action and jury waivers

Talk to us first. Before filing a claim, email jake@waywardridge.com with a description of the dispute and give us at least 30 days to try to resolve it in good faith. This step doesn't apply to requests for court orders under Section 14.
Where claims go. Any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought only in the state or federal courts located in Allen County, Indiana, and you and we consent to their jurisdiction. Either party may instead bring an individual claim in any small claims court that has jurisdiction. Wayward Ridge may also bring a claim under Section 14 in any court with jurisdiction.
No class actions. You and we may bring claims only in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, consolidated or representative action. Claims of more than one person may not be combined. If a court decides this waiver can't be enforced for a particular claim, that claim alone may proceed as a class action, only in the courts listed above, and the rest of this Section still applies.
No jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we waive any right to a jury trial.
Costs. Each party pays its own attorney fees and costs, except as Section 14 provides or where a law or court order requires otherwise.
No arbitration. Disputes under these Terms are not subject to arbitration.

19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Indiana and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

20. Apple App Store terms

If you got the Service's app from Apple's App Store, this section also applies, and it controls if it conflicts with anything else in these Terms.

These Terms are between you and Wayward Ridge only, not Apple. Wayward Ridge, not Apple, is solely responsible for the app and its content.
Your license is to use the app on Apple-branded products you own or control, as allowed by the usage rules in Apple's Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing where Apple allows it.
Wayward Ridge is solely responsible for any maintenance and support for the app, as stated in these Terms or required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support for the app.
If the app fails to meet any warranty that applies, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app, if any. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses caused by a failure to meet a warranty are Wayward Ridge's sole responsibility, to the extent not effectively disclaimed in these Terms.
Wayward Ridge, not Apple, is responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party about the app or your possession or use of it, including product liability claims, claims that the app fails to meet any legal or regulatory requirement, and claims under consumer protection, privacy or similar laws.
If a third party claims that the app or your possession or use of it infringes that third party's intellectual property rights, Wayward Ridge, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of the claim.
You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the app.
Apple and Apple's subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept them, Apple has the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary.
Questions, complaints and claims about the app go to Wayward Ridge (Section 24).

21. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. Deleting your account cancels your subscription and ends your access immediately; unused time is not refunded (Section 6). To keep access to the end of your billing period, cancel first and delete later.
We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms, fail to pay, create risk or legal exposure for us or other users, or if required by law. If we end your subscription without cause, we'll refund the unused portion of your prepaid fees.
When your authorized access ends, your license ends, and you must stop using the Service and delete any copies of its software you have.
After termination, we may delete Your Content after a reasonable period. Sections 1 (electronic notices), 3 to 5, 6 (amounts owed and chargebacks), 9 (Feedback), 10 (except the license), 11, 12 and 14 to 24 survive termination.

22. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may add, change or remove features. We may update these Terms at any time by posting the updated Terms and changing the version and effective date at the top. Changes that don't reduce your rights take effect when posted. For a material change, we will ask you to accept the updated Terms in the Service, and the change takes effect for you when you accept. If you don't accept, you may not keep using the Service, and you may cancel and request a refund of the unused portion of any prepaid subscription by emailing jake@waywardridge.com. Changes to Sections 14, 16 and 18 will not apply to disputes already pending.

23. General

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Refund Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service, except for any separate written agreement signed by Wayward Ridge, which controls for the services it covers, and except for the payment terms of our reseller described in Section 6, which govern the payment transaction.
If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent allowed and the rest stays in effect.
Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account. We may assign them in connection with a merger, sale or reorganization.
Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Headings are for convenience only. "Including" means "including without limitation."
