Effective Date: October 7, 2026
Application Name: Smart Compass Tools
Package Name: com.livedirection.digitalcompass
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your download, installation, and use of the Smart Compass Tools mobile application ("App"), developed and operated by Smart Calculator Tools ("we", "us", or "our").
By downloading, accessing, or using this App, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install or use the App.
1. License Grant and Usage Restrictions
Grant of License: We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to download, install, and use the App solely for your personal, non-commercial purposes on compatible Android devices owned or controlled by you.
Restrictions: You agree not to:
Decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble, or attempt to derive the source code of the App.
Modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works based upon the App.
Distribute, rent, lease, lend, sell, or sublicense the App to any third party.
Use the App for any illegal, unauthorized, or high-risk navigational purpose.
2. Navigation, Sensor, and Direction Disclaimers
Informational Purposes Only: The App is intended as an everyday orientation and utility tool. It is not certified for safety-critical, life-saving, aeronautical, maritime, or professional search-and-rescue navigation.
Sensor Accuracy and Interference: Accuracy depends entirely on your device’s built-in hardware sensors (magnetometer, accelerometer, and GPS receiver). Magnetic fields, metallic objects, phone cases with magnets, and electronic appliances can disrupt sensor readings. You are responsible for calibrating your device sensor regularly.
Environmental Safety: Never use the App in situations where relying on a digital screen distracts you from personal physical safety, traffic, or outdoor hazards (e.g., walking near steep cliffs, driving, or crossing busy roads).
Third-Party Data: Map tiles, coordinate overlays, satellite views, and weather data are sourced via network connections and may be incomplete, delayed, or subject to inaccuracies.
3. Required Permissions
To deliver core functionality, the App requests permissions as outlined below:
Location (ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION): Required to compute true north (magnetic declination), calculate Qibla heading relative to your position, render live map coordinates, and fetch localized weather.
Camera (CAMERA): Required solely to operate the Telescope / Camera overlay view. The App does not record, upload, or save camera feeds.
Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Used to transmit functional alerts and utility notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging.
4. Third-Party Services and Terms
The App incorporates third-party SDKs and open-source components that operate under their own independent terms and conditions:

5. Intellectual Property Rights
All rights, titles, and interests in and to the App—including code, user interface designs, compass graphics, logos, and icons—are the exclusive intellectual property of Smart Calculator Tools and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and intellectual property laws.
6. Disclaimer of Warranties
The App is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express, statutory, or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, heading precision, data accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of bugs or hardware conflicts.
7. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall Smart Calculator Tools, its developers, or affiliates be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or personal injury resulting from:
Your access to, use of, or inability to use the App;
Any reliance placed on directional, compass, Qibla, map, or weather readings;
Any technical malfunction, magnetic deviation, or sensor miscalibration on your device.
8. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to revise or update these Terms at any time. Any changes become effective immediately upon posting an updated version within the App or on the store listing. Your continued use of the App following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
