Welcome to Beacon Survival. By purchasing, downloading, installing, or using the Beacon application, the Beacon + Oukitel hardware bundle, or any related content provided by Beacon Survival ("Beacon," "we," "us," or "our"), you ("you" or "user") agree to be bound by the terms set out below. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, do not purchase or use our products.

1. What Beacon Is

Beacon is an educational tool. It is a survival preparedness application that organizes general reference information — written content, AI-assisted question answering, and offline maps — to help you learn about emergency preparedness on your own terms.

Beacon is intended to be one resource among many in your overall preparedness planning. It is not a substitute for professional training, qualified medical care, licensed legal or financial advice, certified emergency response, or your own informed judgment in any situation.

2. Educational Use Only — No Professional Advice

Important

The information provided through Beacon is for general educational and informational purposes only. It does not constitute medical, legal, financial, psychological, military, tactical, or professional advice of any kind, and should not be relied upon as such.

You should always consult qualified professionals before taking action on matters that involve your health, safety, finances, legal rights, or the wellbeing of others. This includes but is not limited to:

• Medical decisions, including the use of medications, treatments, or first aid procedures
• Construction, electrical work, plumbing, or any task requiring licensed expertise
• Use of firearms, weapons, or self-defense tactics
• Foraging, identification, or consumption of plants, fungi, or wild foods
• Water purification, food preservation, or sanitation in real-world conditions
• Communications equipment subject to FCC or other regulatory licensing
• Evacuation planning, shelter-in-place decisions, or disaster response

If you are experiencing a medical emergency, mental health crisis, or any threat to life or safety, contact emergency services in your area immediately.

3. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Beacon Survival, its owners, employees, contractors, suppliers, affiliates, and agents shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with:

• Your use of or inability to use Beacon, including the application, hardware, content, AI-generated answers, or maps
• Any decision or action you take based on information provided through Beacon
• Any error, omission, inaccuracy, or outdated information in the content
• Any failure of the application or hardware to function as expected, including but not limited to during an emergency
• Any loss of data, personal property, income, or profits
• Any injury, illness, death, or harm to yourself, your family, third parties, animals, or property

This limitation applies regardless of whether the claim is based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, and applies even if Beacon Survival has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You acknowledge and accept that you assume full responsibility for any decisions made or actions taken on the basis of information accessed through Beacon.

4. No Guarantee of Accuracy or Availability

Beacon's content is compiled from a wide range of sources and is reviewed for general usefulness, but we do not guarantee that all information is current, complete, accurate, or applicable to your specific situation. Survival, medical, legal, and regulatory information changes over time. What is appropriate in one location, climate, or circumstance may be inappropriate or unsafe in another.

The AI-assisted features of Beacon ("Ask Beacon") use language models that may produce incorrect, incomplete, or misleading answers. AI output should be treated as a starting point for further research, not as authoritative guidance.

We do not guarantee that Beacon will be available, functional, or accessible at all times, including during emergencies. Hardware can fail. Software can crash. Batteries die. You should never rely on Beacon as your sole source of information in a life-safety situation.

5. AI-Generated Content

When you use the "Ask Beacon" feature, your questions may be processed using third-party AI services. The answers generated are not authored by a human expert and may not reflect current best practice in any field. We strongly recommend verifying critical information against authoritative sources before acting on it.

You agree not to submit confidential, sensitive, or personally identifying information through the AI features.

6. Hardware (Oukitel Bundle)

The Beacon + Oukitel Bundle includes a third-party manufactured rugged tablet device pre-loaded with the Beacon application and supplementary content. The hardware itself is manufactured by Oukitel and any manufacturing defects, hardware failures, or warranty claims related to the device must be addressed according to the manufacturer's warranty policy that ships with the unit.

Beacon Survival's role is limited to assembling, configuring, and shipping the device. We are not responsible for hardware failure, water ingress beyond the manufacturer's stated rating, drops exceeding the manufacturer's stated rating, or any damage caused by misuse, modification, or environmental conditions.

7. Refunds and Returns

Beacon App ($29)

The Beacon application is a digital product. Once your purchase is processed and the application is activated on your device, the sale is final and non-refundable. We encourage you to review the product information, screenshots, and feature descriptions carefully before purchase.

Beacon + Oukitel Bundle ($899)

Due to the configured, pre-loaded, and personalized nature of the Beacon + Oukitel Bundle, all sales are final once the device has shipped. We do not accept returns or issue refunds on hardware bundles after shipment. We encourage you to review the full product specifications, feature list, and this Terms page carefully before placing your order.

If your hardware arrives damaged in shipping or with a manufacturing defect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to determine an appropriate remedy, which may include repair, replacement, or partial credit at our sole discretion.

8. Intellectual Property

All content within Beacon — including but not limited to the Beacon name, logo, written articles, illustrations, software code, and design — is the property of Beacon Survival or its licensors and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws.

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use Beacon for your own preparedness purposes. You may not:

• Copy, redistribute, or republish Beacon's content without written permission
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code
• Use Beacon's content to train competing AI models or build derivative products
• Resell, sublicense, or transfer your access to other parties

Beacon also incorporates content from open-source and openly-licensed sources, including OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, openstreetmap.org/copyright) for map data. Such content is subject to its respective open licenses, which are honored throughout the application.

9. User Conduct

You agree to use Beacon lawfully and responsibly. You will not use Beacon to:

• Plan, facilitate, or carry out any activity that violates federal, state, or local law
• Cause harm to yourself or others
• Infringe on the rights of any third party
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' devices

10. Privacy

Beacon is designed to function offline as much as possible. Most of your interactions with the application happen entirely on your own device and are not transmitted to us. When you use online features (such as Ask Beacon when an internet connection is available), limited data may be sent to our servers or to third-party AI providers strictly for the purpose of answering your question. We do not sell your data.

For the most current details on what we collect and how it is handled, please see our Privacy Policy (available on the website).

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Beacon Survival, its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising out of or related to your use of Beacon, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of a third party.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Beacon after a revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. We encourage you to check this page periodically.

13. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in North Carolina, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.
