Terms of Service

Last updated: 2 November 2026

OVERVIEW

These terms apply to the Off-Grid Guardian website at www.offgridguardian.com, the Off-Grid Guardian mobile app, and the beta programme. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

Off-Grid Guardian has not launched. Nothing here is for sale, no order can be placed, and no payment is taken. These terms therefore say nothing about purchases, shipping, returns or warranties — when there is hardware to sell, terms of sale and a warranty will be published separately and you will be asked to agree to them at that point.

SECTION 1 — WHAT THIS SITE IS

The site describes a product that is still being designed, with an intended launch in 2027. The descriptions, specifications, features and prices shown are our current intentions, not commitments. They will change. Prices shown are indicative and are not offers to sell.

Nothing on this site is a promise that any particular product will be released, released on any particular date, or released with any particular feature.

SECTION 2 — THE CART

The cart on this site does not buy anything. Adding a product records that you are interested in it, which helps us decide what to build first and in what order. It creates no order, reserves no stock, and sets no price. You will never be charged for anything you add to it.

SECTION 3 — THE BETA PROGRAMME

We intend to give away 50 units free of charge to beta testers. The terms of that offer:

• Recipients are chosen at our discretion from the people who register. It is not first-come-first-served, and registering does not entitle you to a unit.
• Currently limited to the United States and Canada. These units contain batteries, which carry real shipping restrictions.
• Units ship when the hardware is ready, currently expected in 2027. That date may move.
• Recipients agree to give us feedback on how the product performs. That is the point of the programme.
• Nothing ships without us confirming by email first.
• We may change or withdraw the programme. If we withdraw it, we will tell the people who registered.

Beta hardware is pre-production. It will have faults, it is supplied as-is, and it should not be relied on to protect anything you cannot afford to lose. See Section 7.

SECTION 4 — ACCOUNTS

You are responsible for keeping your password to yourself and for what happens under your account. Tell us promptly if you think someone else has access to it. We may suspend or close an account that is being used to abuse the site or anyone using it.

We lock an account temporarily after repeated failed sign-in attempts. This protects you, and we will clear a lock if you contact us.

SECTION 5 — ACCEPTABLE USE

You agree not to:

• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the site, its database, or anyone else's account;
• probe or scan the site for vulnerabilities, or attempt to overwhelm it;
• submit someone else's personal information, including registering with an email address that is not yours;
• scrape or bulk-copy the site's content for republication;
• use the site to send unsolicited or deceptive messages;
• use the site for anything unlawful.

We block addresses automatically when they flood the site or probe it for known vulnerabilities. This is not personal, and we will clear a block that caught you by mistake.

SECTION 6 — YOUR SUBMISSIONS

If you send us feedback, suggestions or ideas — through the contact form, as a beta tester, or any other way — we may use them to improve the product without owing you payment or credit, and without any obligation to keep them confidential. Please do not send us anything you consider secret.

You remain responsible for anything you submit being lawful and your own to send.

SECTION 7 — NO WARRANTY, AND LIMITS ON OUR LIABILITY

The site is provided as-is. We do not warrant that it will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that the information on it is complete or current — Section 1 says plainly that it describes an unfinished product.

This is important, so it is not buried: Off-Grid Guardian is a security and monitoring product, and no such product can be relied upon absolutely. Sensors fail, batteries run down, networks drop, and alerts can be delayed or missed. Nothing we build removes your responsibility for insuring and looking after your own property, and you should not treat it as a substitute for insurance or for a professionally monitored alarm.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential loss arising from your use of the site or of beta hardware — including property loss, theft, damage, or loss of data. Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply to you only as far as the law permits.

SECTION 8 — LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Where we link to someone else's site, we are not responsible for its content or its practices.

SECTION 9 — OUR CONTENT

The text, images, designs and logos on this site are ours and are protected by copyright and trademark. You may read and share them; you may not republish them as your own or use our name or logo to suggest we endorse something.

SECTION 10 — PRIVACY

What we collect and why is set out in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these terms.

SECTION 11 — CHANGES TO THESE TERMS

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows when they last changed, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. If a change is significant and we have your email address, we will tell you.

SECTION 12 — SEVERABILITY AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT

If any part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. These terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the whole agreement between us about your use of this site, and replace anything said earlier.

SECTION 13 — GOVERNING LAW

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Oregon, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.
