Terms of Service

These Terms of Service are an agreement between you and Prince Technologies LLC, the operator of Predator (Predator, we, us, or our). They govern use of Predator’s iOS and Android services, predator.app, and related services that link to these Terms (the Services). The app software license is addressed in Section 17. Our Privacy Policy explains information practices, and our Copyright Policy addresses content rights and copyright concerns.

When effective, these Terms apply to your use or acceptance to the extent permitted by law. If you do not agree, stop using the Services. Arbitration requires the separate adult acceptance described in Section 16. These Terms do not replace any separate consent required by law.

You must be at least 13 and meet any higher age required by law or applicable store rules. The Services are not directed to children under 13. Store ratings and parental controls may further restrict access.

If you are below legal adulthood, a parent or legal guardian must permit your use, review these Terms with you, and agree where required. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervision to the extent required by law.

You must be legally permitted to use the Services and able to enter this agreement, personally or through a parent or guardian where permitted. You may not use the Services in violation of applicable law, sanctions, or an enforceable restriction on your use. If you act for an organization, you represent that you can bind it; the personal-use and screening restrictions below still apply.

Predator helps you find publicly available sex offender registry information through maps, location and name searches, record details, and related features. Availability varies by device, app version, location, source coverage, and subscription. The features included in a purchase are described in the app and at checkout. A subscription pays for those features, not a government fee.

Predator is independently operated. We are not a government agency, law-enforcement agency, or emergency service. A registry link, agency name, or source reference does not imply affiliation, approval, or endorsement.

Records originate with state, territorial, tribal, and other registry authorities. Their rules, published fields, schedules, availability, and coverage vary, which can affect Predator’s results.

• Information can be incomplete, duplicated, misspelled, outdated, incorrectly matched, or incorrectly located. A person may appear in more than one jurisdiction.
• A registered address is a reported address, not a statement that someone is currently there. Source or geocoded coordinates can be approximate, including a street, block, city, or ZIP-code area. Overlapping pins and rounded distances can affect the display.
• A name, photograph, address, or description resembling someone does not establish their identity or the identity of a property’s current occupants. Do not treat a resemblance or map position as proof that someone is associated with a record.
• Registry status is not a complete criminal history or a prediction of future conduct. Offense descriptions and risk classifications may have jurisdiction-specific meanings.
• No search results does not establish that an area is safe, that every relevant record was searched, or that a person has no criminal history.

We do not guarantee complete coverage, live updates, a fixed refresh interval, or independently verified accuracy. Changes can be delayed, and a Predator timestamp need not reflect an authority’s verification date. Do not rely on the Services as the sole basis for a consequential decision. Report suspected errors through our correction process.

The Services are intended for lawful, personal safety awareness. They are not offered as a background-screening or consumer-reporting service.

You must not use Predator or its information, in whole or in part, to determine eligibility for employment, housing or tenancy, credit, insurance, education, or another benefit, transaction, or opportunity governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act or similar laws. Do not use the Services to make unlawful discriminatory decisions.

Public access does not mean unrestricted use. Comply with the originating jurisdiction’s restrictions, including any limits on redistribution, commercial use, solicitation, and discrimination. These Terms do not override those restrictions.

Do not approach, follow, confront, threaten, target, or interfere with a person or property because of a record shown in Predator. You are responsible for your conduct and decisions; the Services do not authorize investigation or enforcement.

Where alerts are available, delivery depends on the underlying data, your settings and permissions, device compatibility, platform restrictions, and network conditions. Alerts may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or not delivered. Enabling notifications does not create continuous personal monitoring or guarantee that a move, registry change, or danger will be detected. Promotional, account, and product messages should not be treated as verified registry-change alerts.

The app can create an account without conventional sign-up. Account, device, usage, and purchase information may still be linked as explained in our Privacy Policy.

Protect your device and any credentials or purchase account you use. Do not sell, share, or transfer access in violation of these Terms or store rules. Tell us about suspected unauthorized use. An app identifier helps us locate records but is not, by itself, proof of ownership or authority to access an account.

You are responsible for compatible hardware, supported software, connectivity, and carrier charges. You control location, tracking, and notification permissions through your device. Some features need a permission to perform their requested function; changing permissions does not change an existing subscription.

Paid features may be offered through auto-renewing subscriptions. The purchase screen identifies the product, price, period, included features, and any trial or introductory terms. Prices and offers may vary by platform, region, and eligibility.

Apple or Google processes in-app payments under its billing terms. We do not receive your complete payment-card number from store purchases.

Automatic renewal and offers

A subscription renews automatically unless cancelled according to the applicable store’s requirements. A trial or discounted period, if offered, converts to the price and period disclosed at purchase unless cancelled in time. Check your purchase confirmation for the exact terms. For Apple subscriptions, cancel at least 24 hours before the current period or trial ends to avoid renewal.

Managing and cancelling

• Apple: open device Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and select Predator. See Apple’s cancellation instructions.
• Google Play: select your profile, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions, and select Predator. See Google’s cancellation instructions.

Cancellation normally stops renewal while access continues for the paid period, subject to store rules. Uninstalling Predator, disabling notifications, or requesting data deletion does not cancel a subscription. Manage each purchase account or subscription separately.

Refunds, restoration, and price changes

Refund eligibility follows applicable law and store policies. Request Apple refunds through Report a Problem. For Google Play, use Google’s refund process or contact us for assistance. These Terms preserve any refund or remedy you are legally entitled to receive.

If paid access is missing, use purchase restoration with the store account that made the purchase. Restoration depends on a valid purchase and the applicable store and subscription systems. Price changes follow store notice and consent rules and applicable law.

You must not use the Services, or assist others, to:

• Harass, stalk, intimidate, dox, threaten, discriminate against, incite violence against, or commit a crime against anyone, including their family, neighbors, or property.
• Publish or distribute records to shame, falsely identify, expose, or target a person, or conduct vigilante activity.
• Make a prohibited screening decision, solicit people unlawfully, or violate source conditions.
• Scrape, bulk download, harvest, resell, sublicense, or build a competing database from the Services without our written permission and any required source permission.
• Bypass a paywall, access control, or security protection; use stolen credentials; interfere with the Services; or introduce malicious code.
• Reverse engineer or extract source code except where a restriction is prohibited by law.
• Submit false or abusive reports, impersonate someone, infringe rights, or use our branding in a misleading way.

We may investigate misuse, restrict access, preserve relevant evidence, and respond to valid legal requests, consistent with the Privacy Policy and law. Registry misuse can result in civil or criminal penalties independently of any action we take.

Subject to these Terms and any applicable app license, you may access the Services for their intended personal use. No other rights are granted, and use remains subject to applicable store rules.

Our software, original design, branding, and original materials belong to Prince Technologies LLC or its licensors. Underlying records, photographs, maps, and third-party material remain subject to their respective rights and conditions.

If you share a permitted link, screenshot, or output, you remain responsible for its context and use. Sharing does not remove the accuracy cautions, screening restrictions, source conditions, or prohibitions on targeting people. Do not imply that a resemblance establishes identity or that Predator or a government agency endorses your statement.

Third-party websites, map services, stores, and platforms have their own terms. We do not control their content or availability. Relevant Mapbox and OpenStreetMap credits appear in our map attribution information.

Email registry correction or removal requests to contact@predator.app. Use the subject Predator registry correction or removal request.

• Include a Predator record link or identifier if available. Otherwise, provide enough public record details to locate the issue, such as the listed name and jurisdiction.
• Explain what is inaccurate, outdated, duplicated, incorrectly located, or associated with the wrong person, and identify the affected fields.
• Provide relevant public documentation if available, a contact email, and whether you are the person concerned or an authorized representative.

You can report a possible error without supporting evidence. Do not include a password, Social Security number, full payment-card number, or unnecessary government ID in your initial message. If additional evidence or proportionate verification is needed, we will explain what is relevant and how to provide it appropriately.

We review the Predator record, available source information, and applicable law to determine whether correction, suppression, removal, or another action is appropriate or required. We may ask for clarification and will respond within any applicable legal deadline. A request does not guarantee removal of lawfully displayed information. Our review includes display and matching errors and any applicable correction or removal duty. Our response concerns Predator; it does not change an authority’s records or a person’s registration obligations.

For requests about your own app-user information, follow the Privacy Policy instructions. We may need proportionate verification before disclosure or action. A request does not automatically remove an official record or cancel a subscription.

You retain rights in support materials and permit us to process them to handle requests and meet legal obligations. We may use product suggestions without compensation; this does not authorize publication of private correspondence or supporting documents.

For copyright concerns, follow our copyright inquiry instructions.

We may send operational messages about security, purchases, support, and material service or policy changes. Promotional messages use the consent and opt-out mechanisms required by law. Change push preferences in the app or device settings. See our Privacy Policy.

We may maintain, update, change, or discontinue features. A change materially affecting an ongoing paid service is subject to any notice, cancellation, refund, or other remedy required by store rules or law. We do not promise indefinite availability of every feature, source, or supported device.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Services and content are provided as is and as available, without express, implied, or statutory warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or non-infringement.

We do not warrant that records, geocoding, searches, subscriptions, or notifications will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, secure against every threat, or error-free. We do not warrant that Predator will identify every registered person, predict conduct, prevent harm, or establish that anyone or any place is safe or dangerous.

These disclaimers do not exclude warranties, guarantees, or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded. Mandatory consumer rights remain available.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Prince Technologies LLC and its officers, employees, agents, and licensors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, use, or data, arising from or relating to the Services or these Terms, even if advised of those possibilities.

Subject to the exceptions below, our total aggregate liability for related claims will not exceed the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid for Predator in the 12 months immediately before the event giving rise to the claim.

Nothing excludes or limits liability for fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence, death or personal injury where exclusion is prohibited, or any liability or consumer remedy that cannot legally be excluded or limited. An otherwise impermissible limitation applies only to the extent permitted by law.

If you are an adult, and to the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify Prince Technologies LLC and its officers, employees, and agents against third-party claims and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of registry information, infringement of rights, or material breach of these Terms. This does not cover our own unlawful conduct or liability that cannot legally be shifted to you. We will give reasonable notice of a claim and an opportunity to participate in its defense.

You may stop using Predator and request data deletion at any time. Separately cancel store subscriptions if you want renewal to stop.

We may suspend or terminate access for misuse, a material breach, legal or security risk, or discontinuation. We will give notice and an opportunity to resolve an issue where reasonable and legally required; urgent protective action may occur without notice. Applicable refund and consumer rights remain in place.

Provisions that by their nature should survive continue to apply, including use restrictions, intellectual property, accrued payment obligations, disclaimers, liability limits, disputes, and general provisions. Retained information remains subject to the Privacy Policy.

North Carolina law governs these Terms, excluding conflict-of-law rules. The Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration to the extent applicable. This choice does not take away mandatory consumer protections where you live.

When arbitration applies

The arbitration agreement and associated class-action waiver apply only if you are an adult and affirmatively accept them through a separate acceptance presented by Predator. They do not apply to a minor or arise merely from visiting the website, using the app, or viewing these Terms. Without that separate acceptance, the court provisions below apply, subject to mandatory law.

Informal resolution first

Before arbitration, either party must send written notice describing the dispute, contact details, and requested resolution. Send yours to contact@predator.app. We will use an address you provided or an available account communication channel. Both sides will try in good faith to resolve the dispute for 60 days after receipt. This process does not prevent a small-claims filing, urgent provisional relief, a regulator complaint, or action needed to preserve a legal deadline.

To the extent permitted by law, any applicable limitation period for the notified claim is suspended during this 60-day process. Neither party may use informal resolution to prevent a timely claim.

Individual arbitration and exceptions

If you have accepted the arbitration agreement as described above, and except as stated here, you and we agree to binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable consumer fee schedule. A neutral arbitrator may award individual relief available under law. An award may be entered in a court with jurisdiction.

Either party may bring an eligible individual claim in small-claims court, or seek temporary or emergency court relief to protect rights while a dispute is resolved. Claims, remedies, or public injunctive relief that cannot lawfully be arbitrated remain available in the appropriate court.

Fees and hearing arrangements follow AAA consumer rules and mandatory law. You may request a permitted remote, documents-only, or reasonably convenient hearing. This agreement does not require travel to North Carolina contrary to those rules. We will pay fees allocated to a business and any additional fees required by law, including fees necessary to avoid making a consumer’s access to arbitration prohibitively expensive. If AAA will not administer a dispute because we failed to meet its consumer requirements, you may bring it in a court with jurisdiction.

Jury trial and class-action waiver

For arbitrated disputes, both parties waive a court trial before a judge or jury. To the extent permitted by law, claims must be brought individually, rather than as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. An arbitrator cannot consolidate different people’s claims without agreement. Legally protected public remedies and complaints to government agencies remain available. If the class or representative waiver is unenforceable for a particular claim or remedy, that part proceeds in court rather than class arbitration.

Your 30-day opt-out

Opt out of arbitration and the associated class-action waiver by emailing contact@predator.app within 30 days after first accepting this arbitration provision. Include your name, a contact email, an app or purchase identifier if available, and a clear opt-out statement. No fee or identity document is required. Opting out does not affect other Terms or access.

Changes and courts

A later arbitration change will not apply to an already-notified dispute. We will honor any new acceptance or opt-out right required by law. Formation of an arbitration agreement and enforceability of the class waiver are questions for a court; other matters follow AAA rules and applicable law.

For disputes properly heard in court, both parties consent to state or federal courts in North Carolina, subject to small-claims rules and mandatory local consumer venue rights.

These Terms govern the Predator Services and do not replace the software license supplied with an app through its store. That license controls the app software if these Terms conflict with it. For an app acquired through Apple, Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement applies where no custom license agreement has been supplied. These Terms are not a custom Apple app license.

This service agreement is with Prince Technologies LLC, not Apple or Google. Contact us for Predator support. Store usage rules, purchase terms, and mandatory consumer rights continue to apply, and you must comply with applicable third-party agreements.

Google Maps location lookup in the website’s slide tool is also subject to the Google Terms of Service, Google Maps additional terms, and Google Privacy Policy.

We may revise these Terms. The published effective date identifies the applicable version. We will give notice of material changes and obtain additional acceptance where legally required. Changes do not retroactively take away accrued rights or affect an already-notified dispute as described above. Posting a page alone does not replace an acceptance mechanism where one is required.

These Terms, applicable purchase disclosures, and expressly incorporated service terms form our agreement about the Services. If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder continues, subject to the class-arbitration rule above. Failure to enforce a term is not a waiver. You may not assign this agreement without permission except where law permits. We may transfer it in a lawful reorganization or business transfer, subject to mandatory rights.
