Sunset Beach Terms Addendum
Contents
Not a safety service
Sunset Beach has no lifeguards. Rip current risk, surf height and swim advisories in this app come from the National Weather Service and NC DEQ and are forecasts and periodic samples, not observations of the water in front of you. Never let this app, or any app, substitute for looking at the sea, posted flags and signs, and official warnings. Pushed alerts are a convenience and may be late, missing or wrong; do not rely on them to warn you of danger. You are responsible for your own decisions in and around the water.
Third-party data
Nearly everything in the app is republished from other people's sources: NOAA (the National Weather Service, NDBC, CO-OPS and the National Hurricane Center), USGS, NC DEQ, Open-Meteo, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology (eBird and BirdCast), iNaturalist, OBIS, The Space Devs (Launch Library), the Town of Sunset Beach, the Sunset Beach Fishing Pier and Sunset Beach Turtle Watch, among others. That data may be late, wrong or missing, and upstream services change and go down without notice. When a source has not answered recently the app labels what it shows as "last known good"; that label is a warning, not a guarantee. NeuralConfig does not control upstream content and does not vouch for it. Links out of the app open those organisations' sites, under their own terms and policies.
Fishing regulations
Size and bag limits shown in the app are transcribed by hand from North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries proclamations and are dated in the app. Regulations change, and a transcription can be out of date or mistaken. Confirm with NC DMF before keeping a fish. Nothing in the app is legal advice.
Scores, windows and estimates
Beach and activity scores, "good windows", surf and fishing outlooks, sunset quality and rocket-launch visibility are models and estimates computed from the data above. They are opinions of a program, not published facts, and will sometimes be wrong.
Free service, no warranty
Sunset Beach is provided free of charge, with no warranty and no service level. The app, its API and its push alerts may change, pause or be discontinued at any time. The Service is provided "as is" as described in the Master Terms.
