1. Our Services

Dude, It's Firing! monitors surf conditions at your selected spots using NOAA buoy data, wind readings, and tide predictions. When conditions meet your threshold, we send you an SMS or email alert. We are an alert service — not a forecast service. We do not guarantee surf quality, safety, or conditions at any time.

The Services are provided for personal use only and are not intended for commercial redistribution or resale.

2. Intellectual Property

All content, software, trademarks, and materials on dudeitsfiring.com are owned by Royal Fortune and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works without our express written permission.

3. Subscriptions

Billing and Renewal

Your subscription is billed annually and will automatically renew each year unless cancelled. You consent to recurring charges to your payment method on file without requiring prior approval for each renewal.

Plans

Cancellation

You may cancel at any time by replying STOP or KOOK to any alert text, or by emailing [email protected]. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current paid term.

Price Changes

We may change subscription pricing and will notify active subscribers in advance in accordance with applicable law.

4. SMS Text Messaging

5. Prohibited Activities

You agree not to:

6. Disclaimer

THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. SURF CONDITIONS ARE INHERENTLY UNPREDICTABLE. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE ACCURACY, TIMELINESS, OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY ALERT. ALWAYS USE YOUR OWN JUDGMENT BEFORE ENTERING THE WATER.

We are not responsible for decisions you make based on our alerts, missed surf sessions, wipeouts, hold-downs, injury, or any harm resulting from surfing. Don't be a kook. Surf at your own risk.

7. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Royal Fortune's total liability to you for any claim arising from use of the Services shall not exceed the amount you paid to us in the six (6) months preceding the claim. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages.

8. Dispute Resolution

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles.

Informal Negotiations

Before initiating any formal dispute, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and attempt to resolve the matter informally for at least 30 days.

Binding Arbitration

If informal resolution fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), conducted in California. You waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in class action proceedings.

Time Limit

Any claim must be filed within one (1) year of the cause of action arising.

9. Refund Policy

All subscription fees are non-refundable. You may cancel at any time and your access will continue through the end of your paid period, after which your subscription will not renew.

10. Privacy Policy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

11. Miscellaneous

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Royal Fortune regarding the Services. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. Our failure to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right. We may assign our rights and obligations at any time.
