Last updated 30 August 2026.
These terms are the agreement between you and me about using Nayge. They are written to be read, not to be survived. Where a section has to be in legal language it is, and the parts in capitals are in capitals because the law asks for them to stand out, not because I am shouting.
If you do not agree to these terms, do not use Nayge. Using it means you accept them.
Nayge is published and operated by Amber Turrentine, an individual ("we", "us", "our", and in the plainer sections "I"). There is no company behind Nayge, no trade name and no legal entity of any kind. The app is built by Sky Turrentine, and mail sent to the address below is read and answered on Amber Turrentine's behalf. Where these terms say "I", they mean the person who provides Nayge to you.
A postal address and telephone number are available on request to sky@nayge.com.
These terms cover the Nayge iOS app and the website at nayge.com (together, the "Service"). The Privacy Policy is part of these terms. It is at nayge.com/privacy and in the app under Account > SUPPORT > Privacy Policy.
About the app license. Your license to install and run the Nayge software itself is Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"), available at apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula. These terms do not replace it. They govern your use of the Service: the forecasts, ratings, surface calls, resort data, maps, reports and other content Nayge provides. If the two ever conflict on the subject of the software license, the Standard EULA governs that subject.
You must be 13 years of age or older to use Nayge. If you are in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area and your country sets a higher minimum age for consenting to online services, that age applies to you instead.
If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must read these terms with you and agree to them before you use Nayge, and by letting you use it they agree to them for themselves. I want to be straight about the limit of that: in most places a parent cannot give up a child's own legal claims in advance, so sections 6 and 12 may not apply to you the way they apply to an adult. Read section 5 with them anyway. It is the part that matters on the hill.
Nayge's App Store age rating describes its content, which contains nothing unsuitable at any age. This section is about the agreement: entering into a contract, and giving the consents Nayge relies on for location and for notifications, needs an age the law recognizes. That is why the minimum here is 13 even though the content rating is lower.
By using Nayge you confirm that you meet the age requirement and can enter into a binding agreement.
Nayge is free. There is no subscription, no in-app purchase, no paid tier and no advertising. There is nothing to buy and therefore nothing to refund.
I intend to keep it that way. If it ever changes, existing functionality will not be put behind a paywall without notice in the app, and these terms will be updated first.
There is no account. Nothing you set up in Nayge is stored on a server of mine, so there is no account to suspend, no password to lose and nothing for me to delete on your behalf. See the Privacy Policy.
These terms are not a software license. Your license to install, run, copy and use the Nayge app software is Apple's Standard EULA (section 1), including its Usage Rules and its Family Sharing provisions. Nothing in this section grants, limits or modifies that license. This section governs only your use of the Service: the forecasts, ratings, surface calls, resort data, maps, reports and other content Nayge delivers.
The Service is for your own personal, non-commercial use. The Service, and the forecasts, ratings, surface calls and other outputs in it, remain mine and my licensors'. Nothing here transfers ownership of any of it to you.
You agree not to, and not to help anyone else to:
Restrictions on copying, modifying and reverse engineering the software are in Apple's Standard EULA, not here.
Nayge is a forecast tool. It is not a report from the mountain, and it is not a safety service.
This is the most important section in this document, so it is in plain language first and in legal language after.
Nayge takes public weather-model data, re-reads it at each resort's base, mid and summit elevation, and derives its own numbers: a star rating, a surface call, snow totals, layering advice and hazard notes. Those numbers are estimates produced by a model. They are not measurements, they are not observations, and nobody has been up the hill to check them.
Specifically, Nayge does not know and cannot tell you:
Forecasts are wrong sometimes. Weather models are wrong sometimes. The further ahead you look, the more wrong they get. The app marks its own estimates as estimates. Nothing elsewhere in the app adds to, changes or softens this section.
Use your own judgment, the resort's official channels, ski patrol, your regional avalanche forecast, and the conditions in front of your eyes. Where Nayge disagrees with any of those, they are right and Nayge is wrong.
Now the legal form of the same thing:
ALL FORECASTS, RATINGS, SURFACE ASSESSMENTS, SNOW TOTALS, WIND FIGURES, WIND HOLD AND LIFT STATUS INDICATIONS, HAZARD INDICATIONS, LAYERING AND CLOTHING SUGGESTIONS AND OTHER OUTPUTS OF THE SERVICE ARE PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. THEY ARE MODELED ESTIMATES, NOT OBSERVATIONS, AND THEY MAY BE INACCURATE, INCOMPLETE, DELAYED OR UNAVAILABLE. THE SERVICE IS A CONSUMER INFORMATION PRODUCT. IT HAS NOT BEEN DEVELOPED, TESTED, VALIDATED OR CERTIFIED TO ANY SAFETY, AVIATION, MARINE, MEDICAL OR EMERGENCY STANDARD, AND IT CARRIES NO ACCURACY GUARANTEE OF ANY KIND. IT IS NOT AN AVALANCHE FORECAST, A SNOW SAFETY PRODUCT, A NAVIGATION OR EMERGENCY SERVICE, OR MEDICAL, PROFESSIONAL OR SAFETY ADVICE. IT MUST NOT BE USED IN PLACE OF AN AVALANCHE BULLETIN, A SKI PATROL OR RESORT ANNOUNCEMENT, AN OFFICIAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WARNING, PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, OR YOUR OWN OBSERVATION AND JUDGMENT, AND IT MUST NOT BE YOUR SOLE OR PRIMARY BASIS FOR ANY DECISION THAT AFFECTS SAFETY.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SKIING, SNOWBOARDING, TRAVEL IN MOUNTAIN AND ALPINE TERRAIN AND RELATED ACTIVITIES CARRY INHERENT AND SIGNIFICANT RISKS OF PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND DEATH, INCLUDING FROM WEATHER, COLD, ALTITUDE, TERRAIN, SNOW AND ICE CONDITIONS, AVALANCHE, VISIBILITY, COLLISION, EQUIPMENT FAILURE AND THE CONDUCT OF OTHERS. YOU VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, AND YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER, WHERE, WHEN AND HOW TO RIDE, AND FOR YOUR OWN PREPARATION, EQUIPMENT, CLOTHING AND TRAINING.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW THAT APPLIES TO YOU, YOU RELEASE AND AGREE NOT TO SUE AMBER TURRENTINE AND HER AGENTS, CONTRACTORS AND DATA PROVIDERS FOR ANY CLAIM, INCLUDING A CLAIM BASED ON OUR OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THOSE ACTIVITIES OR WITH YOUR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THEM. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MEANS YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO RECOVER FROM US FOR AN INJURY CAUSED IN PART BY OUR OWN CARELESSNESS IN PRODUCING OR PRESENTING THE INFORMATION IN THE SERVICE.
THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO, AND WE DO NOT SEEK TO LIMIT, LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, RECKLESSNESS, WILFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, OR FRAUD, OR ANY LIABILITY THAT THE LAW WHERE YOU LIVE DOES NOT ALLOW TO BE RELEASED IN ADVANCE.
Section 16 carries one savings clause covering this section and sections 5, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Read it with this one.
Nayge has a feedback form, a "request this resort" control and a "suggest an edit" control. Everything you send through them is voluntary.
The form has no name field. It has one optional contact field, and if you fill it in, or write an address into a message, you are choosing to give it to me, and I will use it only to reply to you.
Nayge shows information that belongs to other people. It is theirs, they are responsible for it, and their terms apply to it. The full credits are in the app under Account > SUPPORT > Data sources.
I do not warrant that any third-party data is accurate, current or available, and any of it may stop being available at any time.
The Nayge name, the logo, the app icons, the interface, the copy, and the engines, models, thresholds and derived outputs behind the ratings and surface calls are mine or my licensors', and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Nothing in these terms grants you any right in them beyond using the Service as described.
Fonts and icon sets are used under their own licenses, listed with their copyright notices in the app under Account > SUPPORT > Data sources. Icons are used as interface icons only and never as a logo or brand mark.
I may change, suspend or discontinue the Service or any part of it at any time, with or without notice.
I may change these terms. If I make a material change, one that affects your rights or my obligations, I will show you the change in the app before it takes effect and ask you to accept it, and I will not apply it to you until you do. For anything else I will update the date at the top and post the new version in the app and on nayge.com, and continuing to use Nayge means you accept it. A change never applies backwards to a dispute that already exists.
Nayge depends on third-party data and services. It may be unavailable, incomplete or wrong at any time, including in the middle of a storm, which is exactly when you would want it. Plan accordingly.
You may end this agreement at any time by deleting the app. I may end it, and your right to use the Service, if you materially breach these terms. Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 survive the end of this agreement.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AMBER TURRENTINE AND HER SUPPLIERS AND DATA PROVIDERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WITHOUT LIMITING THAT, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT (a) THE SERVICE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS; (b) IT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE OR ERROR-FREE; (c) ANY FORECAST, RATING, SURFACE ASSESSMENT, SNOW TOTAL, WIND FIGURE, HAZARD INDICATION OR OTHER OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT OR RELIABLE; (d) ANY RESORT, OPERATING STATUS OR REPORTED FIGURE SHOWN IN THE SERVICE IS CORRECT OR CURRENT; OR (e) ANY DEFECT WILL BE CORRECTED.
NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SERVICE CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HERE.
Any accuracy figure Nayge publishes, in the app, on nayge.com or anywhere else, describes the result of a specific past measurement against a specific reference dataset, and it is stated with that measurement. It describes research. It is not a promise about the forecast you are looking at, it is not a warranty, and nothing in it creates any warranty not expressly stated in these terms.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above may not apply to you, and you may have other rights that vary by jurisdiction. Nothing here affects consumer rights that cannot be excluded by agreement.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AMBER TURRENTINE AND HER AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND DATA PROVIDERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, YOUR RELIANCE ON ANY OUTPUT OF IT, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY DATA OR CONTENT IN IT, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER THEORY, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE, WHICH FOR A FREE APP IS ZERO, AND (b) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$50).
NOTHING IN THIS SECTION EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, RECKLESSNESS, WILFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OR FRAUD. WHERE APPLICABLE LAW DOES NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY CAUSED BY NEGLIGENCE, THIS SECTION DOES NOT EXCLUDE OR LIMIT IT.
THESE LIMITS APPLY EVEN IF A LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. THEY ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US: NAYGE IS PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE AND WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED AT ALL WITHOUT THEM.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Section 16's savings clause applies to this section.
To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amber Turrentine from any third-party claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Service, your breach of these terms or of any applicable law, your infringement of anyone's rights, or anything you submit through the Service. This does not apply to the extent the claim arises from my own breach of these terms, my own negligence, or my own wrongful act.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, together with applicable United States federal law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.
If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction whose law gives you mandatory local protections, nothing in these terms deprives you of those protections or of your right to bring proceedings in the courts of the country where you live. Where local mandatory consumer law conflicts with these terms, local law wins for you.
Talk to me first. Almost everything is fixable by email. Before starting any formal proceeding, send a description of the problem and what you want to sky@nayge.com and give me 60 days to sort it out. Most disputes end there.
If we cannot resolve it informally, and subject to the consumer paragraph above, you and I agree that any dispute will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of California, and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AMBER TURRENTINE EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE WILL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THAT NO COURT MAY CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIM WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF BOTH OF US.
THIS PARAGRAPH IS SEVERABLE FROM THE REST OF THESE TERMS AND FROM THE REST OF THIS SECTION. IF IT IS HELD UNENFORCEABLE, IN WHOLE OR AS TO ANY CLAIM, PARTY OR JURISDICTION, IT IS SEVERED TO THAT EXTENT AND HAS NO EFFECT THERE, AND EVERY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, INCLUDING SECTIONS 11 AND 12, REMAINS IN FULL FORCE. A COURT MAY NOT REWRITE THIS PARAGRAPH: IT EITHER APPLIES AS WRITTEN OR DOES NOT APPLY AT ALL. IT DOES NOT APPLY WHERE THE LAW GOVERNING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME DOES NOT PERMIT IT, INCLUDING WHERE YOU ARE A CONSUMER RESIDENT IN THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA OR THE UNITED KINGDOM.
There is deliberately no arbitration clause in these terms. You keep your right to go to court.
Nothing here stops either of us from bringing an individual claim in small claims court, or from seeking injunctive relief to stop infringement or misuse of intellectual property.
Any claim relating to the Service must be brought within one year after it arises, unless the law that applies to you does not permit that period to be shortened by agreement or requires a longer one, in which case the period that law provides applies instead. This does not apply to a claim for death or personal injury, or to any claim brought by someone who is not a party to these terms.
Nayge is distributed through Apple's App Store. Your license to the app software is Apple's Standard EULA (section 1). The following acknowledgements apply to these terms as well, in the form Apple asks for.
Entire agreement. These terms, the Privacy Policy, and Apple's Standard EULA as it applies to the software license, are the whole agreement between you and me about Nayge and replace anything said before.
Severability. If any provision is held unenforceable, it is modified to the minimum extent needed to make it enforceable, or severed if it cannot be, and the rest stays in force.
No waiver. If I do not enforce a provision, that is not a waiver of it.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these terms. I may assign them to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the Nayge business, or to an entity I form to operate Nayge, on notice in the app.
No partnership. Nothing here creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship between us.
Notices. I may give you notice through the app, through nayge.com, or by email if you have given me an address. You give me notice at sky@nayge.com.
Export. You may not use or export Nayge except as United States law and the laws of the place you obtained it allow.
Force majeure. I am not liable for any failure or delay caused by something outside my reasonable control, including the failure or withdrawal of a third-party data source, network or platform.
Mandatory law. Sections 5, 6, 11, 12, 13 and 14 apply only as far as the law that governs your relationship with me allows. Some places do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain warranties, of liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, of liability for gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud, of the right to bring a claim as part of a class, or of a statutory time limit. Where that is so, the provision in question is limited to what that law allows, or does not apply to you at all. Nothing in these terms is an admission that any particular provision is or is not enforceable in any particular place. Everything else stays in force.
No other beneficiaries. Apart from Apple, as set out in section 15, and my agents, contractors, suppliers and data providers to the extent sections 6, 11 and 12 name them, nobody other than you and me has any right to enforce these terms.
Doing this electronically. You agree that we may do business electronically, that agreeing in the app has the same effect as signing on paper, and that I may give you any notice these terms require through the app, through nayge.com, or by email if you have given me an address. If you would rather have something on paper, ask me at sky@nayge.com.
Language. These terms are written in English. Any translation is for convenience and the English version governs.
If you believe something in Nayge infringes your copyright, tell me and I will act on it. Send a notice with: your physical or electronic signature; identification of the work you say is infringed; identification of the material in Nayge you say is infringing and where to find it; your address, telephone number and email; a statement that you have a good faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for them.
Send it to sky@nayge.com, which reaches me directly. I have not registered a designated agent with the United States Copyright Office, so Nayge does not claim the safe harbor under 17 U.S.C. section 512(c). That does not change what I will do about a valid complaint, which is act on it.
If your material was removed and you think that was a mistake, send a counter-notice to the same address with the elements required by 17 U.S.C. section 512(g)(3). I will end access for anyone who repeatedly infringes.
I want Nayge to be usable by everyone. It is portrait only and light mode only today, and I know those are limits. If something in Nayge does not work with the assistive technology you use, email sky@nayge.com and tell me what and where. I read all of it and I will fix what I can.
Under California Civil Code section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following notice. The provider of this service is Amber Turrentine, an individual, email sky@nayge.com. Nayge is operated by an individual rather than from business premises; a postal address and telephone number are provided on request to that email. Nayge is provided free of charge; there are no fees or charges for its use. To file a complaint or seek further information, contact sky@nayge.com in writing, or contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
sky@nayge.com for everything: support, privacy, legal, or telling me a number is wrong. I read all of it.
