Effective Date: September 24, 2026

Please read this Disclaimer carefully before downloading, installing, accessing, modifying, or using any Vidēre Research software, mobile application, web application, website, script, source code, API, documentation, or related digital service.

By using Vidēre Research software or services, you acknowledge and agree to the limitations described below to the extent permitted by applicable law.

1. Provided "As Is"

Vidēre Research software, applications, web applications, source code, scripts, documentation, data, and related services are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE", without warranties of any kind except where such warranties cannot legally be excluded.

This includes software distributed through:

• the Apple App Store;

• Vidēre Research websites;

• third-party software repositories;

• direct downloads;

• web browsers; and

• other distribution channels.

Vidēre Research does not guarantee that any software or service will satisfy your particular requirements or that it will be suitable for any particular purpose.

2. No Guarantee of Availability or Error-Free Operation

Vidēre Research does not warrant that software or services will:

• operate continuously or without interruption;

• be available at any particular time;

• be compatible with every device, operating system, browser, or hardware configuration;

• be free of defects, bugs, vulnerabilities, or errors;

• be secure from every possible threat;

• produce accurate or reliable results;

• preserve data without loss;

• remain unchanged;

• remain available indefinitely; or

• have all errors corrected.

Software and web applications may change, be updated, suspended, discontinued, or removed without prior notice.

3. Mobile Applications

Vidēre Research mobile applications may depend on the operating system, device hardware, network connectivity, location services, sensors, permissions, and third-party services.

Application behavior may vary between devices and operating-system versions.

Vidēre Research does not guarantee that an application will remain compatible with every future version of iOS, iPadOS, Android, or another operating system unless explicitly stated.

Apple is an independent third party. Vidēre Research is responsible for its applications, but not for the operation, availability, policies, or functionality of Apple's operating systems, App Store, devices, or services.

4. Web Applications

Web applications may depend on:

• your web browser;

• JavaScript;

• browser permissions;

• Internet connectivity;

• DNS;

• hosting services;

• APIs;

• cloud services;

• mapping services;

• geographic databases;

• authentication services; and

• other third-party infrastructure.

Vidēre Research cannot guarantee the continued availability, accuracy, performance, or compatibility of third-party services.

5. Downloadable Software and Source Code

Software, scripts, utilities, examples, and source code made available by Vidēre Research may be intended for research, educational, experimental, demonstration, development, or informational purposes.

You are responsible for evaluating software before deploying it in your environment.

You should inspect, test, and validate software before using it on production systems or with important data.

Source code and examples may contain technical errors, incomplete implementations, outdated dependencies, insecure configurations, or assumptions that are inappropriate for your environment.

6. Security

No software can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for determining whether software is appropriate for your security requirements and environment.

Before using software on a production system, you should consider appropriate:

• testing;

• code review;

• vulnerability assessment;

• dependency review;

• access controls;

• network controls;

• backups;

• monitoring;

• logging; and

• incident-response procedures.

Vidēre Research does not represent that any software has been independently audited, penetration tested, certified, or approved for a particular security standard unless explicitly stated.

7. Data and Backups

You are solely responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of your data.

Before installing, modifying, upgrading, or removing software, you should ensure that important information is backed up.

Vidēre Research is not responsible for loss, corruption, alteration, deletion, or inability to access data resulting from the use, modification, installation, upgrade, removal, or failure of software or services, except where liability cannot legally be excluded.

8. Location, Navigation, Mapping, and Geographic Information

Some Vidēre Research applications provide geographic, mapping, navigation, positioning, compass, altitude, distance, coordinate, or other location-related functionality.

Such information may be affected by:

• GPS accuracy;

• device hardware;

• magnetic interference;

• atmospheric conditions;

• satellite availability;

• network connectivity;

• map-data errors;

• database errors;

• changes in geographic information;

• sensor calibration;

• software limitations; and

• third-party services.

Location and mapping information should therefore be treated as informational and approximate unless a particular service expressly states otherwise.

Do not rely solely on Vidēre Research software for emergency response, life-safety decisions, aviation, maritime navigation, wilderness navigation, search and rescue, professional surveying, or any other situation where inaccurate information could result in injury, death, property damage, or other serious consequences.

Always use appropriate professional equipment, official information, established procedures, and independent sources when safety or significant consequences are involved.

9. Emergency Use

Vidēre Research applications are not a replacement for emergency services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Vidēre Research applications do not automatically contact emergency services, guarantee delivery of emergency notifications, provide guaranteed location transmission, or establish a reliable emergency communications channel.

In an emergency, contact the appropriate emergency service directly using an available reliable communications method.

10. Sensors and Device Measurements

Applications may use device sensors such as GPS, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, barometer, camera, microphone, or other hardware.

Sensor measurements may be inaccurate, unavailable, delayed, distorted, or affected by the surrounding environment.

Measurements should not be treated as professionally calibrated measurements unless the application explicitly states otherwise.

11. Third-Party Services and APIs

Vidēre Research software may use or connect to third-party services, APIs, databases, mapping systems, cloud services, hosting providers, or other external resources.

These services are outside Vidēre Research's control.

Changes, interruptions, rate limits, outages, inaccuracies, authentication failures, discontinued APIs, policy changes, or other problems affecting a third-party service may cause Vidēre Research software to malfunction or become unavailable.

Vidēre Research does not guarantee the continued operation or availability of any third-party service.

12. Internet Connectivity

Certain features require an Internet connection.

Performance and availability may depend on your Internet service provider, mobile carrier, Wi-Fi network, DNS provider, firewall, VPN, geographic location, or other network conditions.

Vidēre Research is not responsible for interruptions or limitations caused by networks or services outside its control.

13. User Modifications

If you modify, compile, reverse engineer where legally permitted, configure, integrate, or redistribute software, your modifications may produce behavior that differs from the version provided by Vidēre Research.

Vidēre Research does not assume responsibility for problems resulting from unauthorized modifications or configurations.

Nothing in this section is intended to restrict rights that cannot legally be restricted.

14. Experimental and Research Software

Software identified as experimental, research, beta, prototype, demonstration, educational, or development software may be incomplete and may contain known or unknown defects.

Such software should not be used in environments where failure could cause significant loss, injury, or other harm.

15. Professional Advice

Information provided by Vidēre Research software, websites, applications, documentation, or other services is generally provided for informational, educational, research, or technical purposes.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, it does not constitute professional advice, including medical, legal, financial, engineering, aviation, maritime, surveying, cybersecurity certification, emergency-response, or other professional advice.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vidēre Research, its owners, members, officers, employees, contributors, affiliates, licensors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, revenue, profits, business, goodwill, use, or other intangible losses arising from or related to the use of, inability to use, or reliance upon Vidēre Research software or services.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

19. Indemnification
