Terms of Service

Effective date: March 9, 2026

Welcome to SwellFrame. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the SwellFrame website, customer portal, connected e-ink display devices, and all related services (collectively, the "Service") operated by SwellFrame LLC ("SwellFrame," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account, purchasing a device, or using the Service in any way, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. Account Registration

To use the Service, you must create an account by providing accurate and complete information, including your name, email address, and a password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.

You must be at least 18 years of age to create an account and use the Service.

2. Device & Service Description

SwellFrame provides connected e-ink display devices that show surf forecasts, tide information, and weather data. The Service includes forecast data retrieval, rendering, device management through the customer portal, and optional AI-enhanced forecasts.

Forecast data is sourced from third-party providers and is provided on an informational basis only. SwellFrame does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of forecast data. You should not rely solely on SwellFrame forecasts for safety-critical decisions.

3. Device Registration & Linking

Each SwellFrame device must be registered to a user account using the registration code provided with your order or through the device pairing process. A single account may have multiple devices linked. Certain features, including forecast access through the customer portal, require at least one linked device.

4. Subscriptions & Billing

SwellFrame devices are sold as a one-time purchase that includes access to the standard forecast service. Optional premium features (such as AI-enhanced forecasts) may require a separate subscription.

Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. By providing payment information, you authorize us to charge the applicable fees. All fees are in US dollars unless otherwise stated. You are responsible for any applicable taxes.

Subscription renewals occur automatically unless cancelled before the renewal date. You may cancel your subscription at any time through the customer portal or by contacting us.

5. Refunds & Returns
