Allarise

Terms of Use

Last updated: June 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Use ("Terms") form an agreement between you and Bryan Scott Daniel, doing business as Allarise ("we", "us", or "our") regarding your use of the Allarise mobile application, related website pages, and any associated documentation or support materials (collectively, the "Service").

By downloading, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Eligibility and Permitted Use

You may use the Service only in compliance with applicable law and only for lawful purposes. You may not use the Service in a way that interferes with its operation, attempts unauthorized access, or misuses any Home Assistant, MQTT, Apple, or other third-party systems connected to it.

3. App Store and Purchases

The Allarise app may offer paid features, subscriptions, free trials, and one-time purchases through the Apple App Store. Billing, renewals, cancellations, refunds, and payment processing for App Store purchases are handled by Apple and are also subject to Apple's terms and policies.

Pricing, free trial availability, and purchase options may change over time and may vary by region. Current pricing and purchase details are shown in the App Store before you complete a purchase.

Allarise is licensed, not sold, to you for use on Apple devices under the Apple Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “Apple EULA”). These Terms are in addition to, and supplement, the Apple EULA. If there is any conflict between these Terms and the Apple EULA solely with respect to your App Store license to use Allarise on Apple devices, the Apple EULA controls as to that license; in all other respects, these Terms govern your use of Allarise and our services.

You acknowledge that these Terms are entered into between you and Bryan Scott Daniel only, and not with Apple, and that Bryan Scott Daniel — not Apple — is solely responsible for Allarise and its content. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and upon your acceptance of these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

4. Alarm, Notification, and Integration Disclaimer

Allarise is designed to help you schedule alarms, play audio, present notifications, and optionally exchange alarm state and commands with Home Assistant or MQTT systems. However, these features depend on factors outside our control, including:

• iOS behavior and future operating system changes
• notification permissions, Focus modes, mute and audio settings, and background execution policies
• device power state, storage, connectivity, and hardware or software faults
• your Home Assistant setup, MQTT broker, network, router, DNS, certificates, and other third-party systems

We do not guarantee that alarms, backup notifications, sleep sounds, media playback, MQTT commands, automations, or integrations will always occur on time, without interruption, or in every device state.

You are solely responsible for using appropriate backup methods for any important wake-up, reminder, scheduling, or time-sensitive use case.

Not for medical, health, life-safety, or emergency use. Allarise is a general-purpose consumer alarm, reminder, and audio app. It is not a medical device, is not FDA-cleared or approved, and is not designed, intended, tested, or warranted for medical, health, clinical, life-safety, emergency, or other safety-critical purposes. You must not rely on Allarise for medication reminders, medical treatment or monitoring, caregiving, operation of vehicles or equipment, or any other purpose where a missed, delayed, silent, early, or incorrect alarm, sound, or notification could contribute to personal injury, death, or property, financial, or other loss. For any such purpose you must use a dedicated, purpose-built system and always maintain independent, redundant backup methods (such as a separate physical alarm clock). To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risk arising from any use of Allarise for these purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

The Service may rely on or interact with third-party services and platforms, including Apple services, Home Assistant, MQTT brokers, GitHub, and other linked websites or tools. We do not control and are not responsible for the availability, content, policies, security, or performance of third-party services.

6. Privacy

Your use of the Service is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which describes how the app handles information and device-stored data.

7. Intellectual Property

The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, trademarks, and other content provided by us, is owned by Bryan Scott Daniel or its licensors and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights to you.

8. Feedback

If you choose to send us feedback, suggestions, ideas, or feature requests, you grant us the right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you, except where prohibited by law.

9. Termination

We may suspend, limit, or terminate access to any website portion, support channel, or hosted feature of the Service if reasonably necessary for maintenance, security, legal compliance, abuse prevention, or breach of these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Service is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", with all faults and without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise.

We disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, achieve any intended result, operate uninterrupted, remain available, be error-free, or be compatible with any particular device, operating system version, app, automation, broker, or third-party service.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Bryan Scott Daniel and its suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, business, goodwill, opportunity, or use, arising out of or related to the Service.

This includes, without limitation, claims relating to missed alarms, delayed alerts, failed notifications, failed Home Assistant or MQTT automations, sleep sound interruptions, device misconfiguration, or third-party service failures.

To the extent liability cannot be excluded, our total liability for all claims arising from or related to the Service will be limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid for Allarise in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $20.

12. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules, except to the extent consumer protection laws in your place of residence apply and cannot be waived.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Michigan. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, those courts and waive any objection based on inconvenient forum, except where applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring or defend a claim in the courts of your place of residence.

13. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. If you have a concern or dispute regarding the Service, you agree to first contact us at [email protected] and work with us in good faith to resolve it informally. Many disputes can be resolved this way. If the dispute is not resolved within 30 days, either party may pursue formal legal action, subject to the governing law and exclusive Michigan venue set out in Section 12.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date on this page and may provide additional notice where appropriate. By continuing to use the Service after revised Terms become effective, you agree to the updated Terms.

15. Severability and Waiver

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision.

16. NWS Weather Alerts Feature

Allarise includes an optional NWS Weather Alerts feature that polls the United States National Weather Service (NWS) public API (weather.gov) for active severe weather alerts near locations you configure. This feature is available only to users in the United States.

This feature is provided strictly on an experimental, as-is basis and is subject to all disclaimers and limitations in these Terms, including Section 10 (Disclaimer of Warranties) and Section 11 (Limitation of Liability).

In addition, you expressly acknowledge and agree that:

• The NWS API is a third-party United States government service. Bryan Scott Daniel does not operate, maintain, or have any control over the NWS API and is not responsible for its availability, accuracy, or content.
• Alert delivery depends on NWS API availability, polling frequency, internet connectivity, device state, app execution state, and other factors outside our control. Alerts may be delayed, missed, duplicated, or incorrect.
• This feature must not be used as your sole or primary source of emergency weather information. You must always rely on official government emergency alert systems, Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), NOAA Weather Radio, broadcast media, and other authoritative sources for emergency preparedness and response.
• Bryan Scott Daniel will not be held liable for any harm, loss, injury, or damages of any kind resulting from your reliance on, or failure to receive, NWS alerts delivered through this feature.

Use of this feature requires your in-app agreement to these terms via the disclaimer toggle in Settings before the feature can be enabled.
