Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the CatchCheck mobile application ("App") or visiting our website at catchcheck.io ("Website"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the App or Website.

You must be at least 18 years old to use CatchCheck. If you are under 18, you may only use CatchCheck with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.

We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. We will notify you of material changes through the App or by email. Your continued use of CatchCheck after such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.

2. Description of Service

CatchCheck is an informational tool designed to help recreational anglers by providing:

• AI-powered fish species identification from user-submitted photographs
• Fishing regulation information including size limits, bag limits, and season dates
• Optional gamification features for tracking catches and achievements
• Educational content about fish species

CatchCheck is available in both free and premium subscription tiers.

3. Regulation Information Disclaimer

CatchCheck may display regulation information that is incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or incorrect. We make reasonable efforts to provide current information, but we cannot guarantee accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any regulation data displayed in the App.

YOU MUST verify ALL fishing regulations with official sources before fishing, keeping, or harvesting any fish. Official sources include your state's fish and wildlife agency (such as FWC, TPWD, LDWF, etc.) and NOAA Fisheries for federal waters.

Emergency closures, recent regulatory changes, special restrictions, and local ordinances may not be reflected in CatchCheck. The absence of a restriction in CatchCheck does not mean no restriction exists.

4. AI Fish Identification Disclaimer

AI technology has inherent limitations. Factors affecting accuracy include photo quality, lighting, angle, fish condition, and similarities between species. The AI may confuse similar-looking species, some of which may have vastly different regulations (including protected species with zero harvest limits).

You should NEVER rely solely on AI identification when deciding whether to keep a fish. Always verify species identification through:

• Physical characteristics and field guides
• Consultation with experienced anglers or fishing guides
• State fish and wildlife agency resources
• When in doubt, release the fish

Misidentification of fish species can result in serious legal consequences, including fines, criminal charges, and loss of fishing privileges.

5. User Responsibilities

By using CatchCheck, you acknowledge and agree that:

• You are solely responsible for verifying all information before acting on it

• You will not rely on CatchCheck as your sole source of regulatory or species identification information
• You assume all risk associated with your fishing activities
