Terms of Service
The rules for using Gods Eyes: what paid plans cost and how they renew, what you may not do with it, and why you must not rely on its data for safety.
About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of Gods Eyes (“we” or “us”). They cover Gods Eyes at godseyes.io (the “service”). By using the service you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
The service
Gods Eyes is a live 3D globe in your web browser. It brings together public data such as aircraft and ship positions, satellite orbits, weather, earthquakes, public cameras and transit vehicles, and it includes an AI analyst that answers questions about what is on the map. Most of it works with no account.
You are responsible for following the laws where you use the service. Features and data sources change over time. We do not promise that any one of them will stay available.
Who can use it
You must be at least 13 to use the service, or older if your country sets a higher minimum age for using online services without a parent’s consent. To buy a paid plan you must be at least 18, or have the permission of a parent or guardian. The service is not directed to children under 13.
Accounts
An account is optional, and your first sign-in creates it. You sign in with a link and a one-time code sent to your email address, or with Google where we offer that. Anyone who can read that email can sign in as you, so keep it secure. You are responsible for what happens under your account. An account and a paid plan are for one person.
Plans and prices
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Field Agent | Free |
| Black Clearance | $9.99 a month or $79 a year |
| Command | $69.99 a month or $599 a year |
Prices are in US dollars and do not include tax. Pricing lists what each plan includes. A feature marked “coming soon” is not part of what you buy until it ships. Checkout accepts promotion codes; a discount applies only on the terms stated with the code.
Checkout, tax and who handles the sale
Paid plans are sold through Stripe Managed Payments. Sold through Link, LLC, a Stripe affiliate, is the merchant of record for each payment. It runs the checkout page, takes your payment and sends your receipts and invoices in its own name. At checkout and on receipts the sale appears as sold through Onelink, Stripe’s digital wallet, and your statement shows a charge starting LINK.COM*.
It also calculates, collects and remits sales tax, VAT or GST in the countries its service covers. Tax is added at checkout on top of the listed price, and checkout may show the price in your local currency. Stripe’s payment terms appear on the checkout page and also apply to your purchase.
For a payment, receipt or billing problem you can use Onelink support. For anything about the service itself, contact us at support@godseyes.io.
Automatic renewal
A paid plan is a subscription. It renews automatically at the end of each month or year, depending on the period you chose, and your payment method is charged the price then in effect plus any tax, until you cancel. If the price changes, we will tell you before the change applies to you, and you can cancel before it does.
Cancelling and changing plans
You can cancel at any time. In the app, click your plan’s badge and choose Manage, or open “Manage subscription” in the account desk. Both take you to Stripe’s customer portal. You can also cancel from your Onelink account at onelink.com. Moving between plans happens in the same portal.
When you cancel, your plan keeps working until the end of the period you already paid for. After that you return to Field Agent. Deleting your account or clearing your browser does not cancel a subscription by itself, so cancel first.
Buying a paid plan needs a free account. A plan bought without signing in, before accounts were required, is held in that browser until you sign in. If you lose access to it, use your Onelink account or email support@godseyes.io.
Refunds
Refunds are handled by Onelink, the service Stripe uses for these sales. You can ask for a refund through Onelink support within 60 days of the payment. Onelink reviews requests about things like a payment that was unauthorized or duplicated, or a product that was not received or is not as described. Under its policy it does not review change-of-mind requests or an unused subscription that was not cancelled before billing. Stripe’s merchant of record may also issue a refund within 60 days of a purchase.
Nothing in these terms takes away refund rights you have by law.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the service, or anything you get from it, to:
- stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate or dox anyone, or locate or follow a person without their consent, or help anyone else do so
- make navigation, flight, marine, driving, emergency or other safety decisions
- plan or commit a crime, or interfere with aircraft, vessels, vehicles, cameras, public transport or emergency services
- identify people from camera or street-level imagery, or surveil anyone unlawfully
- scrape, bulk download, resell or redistribute the service or its data, or use it to build a competing product or dataset
- get around plan limits, rate limits or security, probe or attack our systems, or overload them
- share a paid plan with other people, or send automated traffic other than through the app’s normal use
- break any law or anyone else’s rights
We may suspend or end your access if you break these rules.
Data can be delayed, incomplete or wrong
Everything on the globe comes from outside sources that we do not control. Positions can be late, missing or simply wrong. Aircraft and ships drop out of coverage, cameras go dark, forecasts and alerts can be out of date, and automatic readings get revised. We also leave some aircraft and vessels out of public pages on purpose.
Gods Eyes is not an official source and is not a navigation, safety or emergency service. For travel, weather warnings and emergencies, follow official sources such as the National Weather Service, air traffic control, the Coast Guard and your local emergency agency. In an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Alerts
Paid plans can watch flights and places and be told when something happens, in the app, by email or by push. Alerts are worked out automatically from the same outside sources, so an alert can be late, wrong or never arrive, and hearing nothing does not mean nothing happened. Alerts are not official warnings and not a safety service, so do not use them for safety decisions. Each plan includes a set number of watches, we limit how many emails and pushes go out in a day, and we may change those limits. When a paid plan ends, its watches stop.
Daily brief
The daily brief comes out three times a day. Its lines are usually written by a third-party AI model from public feeds, each with its source named. They may be wrong, incomplete or out of date, and a quiet edition does not mean nothing happened. The brief is not an official warning, so do not use it for safety decisions. Reading it needs no account. Having it emailed is optional, is offered on some plans, can be stopped with the link in any brief email, and may change.
AI analyst
The Analyst desk writes its answers with a third-party AI model. Those answers may be wrong, incomplete or out of date, so check anything that matters before you rely on it. Do not type sensitive personal information about yourself or anyone else into it. Our Privacy Policy explains where your questions go.
Third-party content, maps and data
Maps, imagery, video, feeds and other content in the service belong to their owners and are used under licenses or terms of their own. They are credited on screen and on Data sources. Some of them allow only personal or limited use, so you may not copy or reuse them outside the service unless their terms let you. Photos shown with news headlines belong to their publishers, are shown with credit and a link to the source, and a publisher can ask us to remove theirs by emailing support@godseyes.io.
News
Headlines in the service are shown as their publishers wrote them, with the publisher named and a link to the full report on the publisher’s site. We do not copy or republish articles. The short summaries, key figures and lists of reported facts on our story pages are written by us, with the help of a third-party AI model, from the publishers’ headlines and the short descriptions publishers provide for sharing their links; each point says which outlet reported it and links to it. They may be wrong or out of date, and they are not checked by a person before they appear. A headline’s page may show the publisher’s own short description, credited to it. Publishers’ photos are loaded from the publisher’s own server, credited and linked to the report, and are never copied to ours. A publisher can ask us to stop showing its descriptions or photos by emailing support@godseyes.io.
Google Maps
The service includes Google Maps features and content, including 3D map tiles and Street View. Your use of them is subject to the then-current Google Maps End User Additional Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
YouTube
The Live webcams layer and the video wall’s TV news tiles play video in YouTube’s embedded player, using YouTube API Services. By using these features you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. The Google Privacy Policy covers what YouTube collects. Videos belong to their owners, who can end or restrict them at any time. We do not charge anyone to watch them, and no paid plan sells access to them.
Other map and data providers
Other providers include Esri, OpenStreetMap contributors, OpenFreeMap, NASA, TomTom, Mapillary, KartaView, Panoramax, adsb.lol, ADSBHub, AISStream and the public agencies listed on Data sources. Their terms and attribution requirements apply to their content. Links to other sites are for convenience, and we are not responsible for those sites.
Your content and share links
Your saved places, watch list, boards, drawings and files stay yours. You give us only the permission we need to store and show them back to you. A share link carries the view it shares inside the link itself, so anyone who has the link can open that view. Do not put anything in one that you would not want others to see.
Our rights and open source
Gods Eyes is built on God’s Eye View, an open-source 3D globe project released under the MIT license, and on other open-source software, which stay under their own licenses. The Gods Eyes name and logo and our own additions to the software remain ours. These terms give you permission to use the service, and no other rights in it.
Changes, availability and ending access
We may change, suspend or stop any part of the service at any time, including data sources and features, and we do not promise any particular uptime. You can stop using the service whenever you like. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the service or other people.
Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL DATA AND CONTENT IN IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ACCURACY. WE DO NOT PROMISE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE OR FREE OF ERRORS.
Limits on liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR LOST GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY LOSS THAT COMES FROM RELYING ON DATA IN THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ABOUT THE SERVICE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) WHAT YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICE IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AND (B) US$50.
Some places do not allow some of these limits, so they may not all apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
Your responsibility for misuse
If your breach of these terms or your misuse of the service leads to a claim against us by someone else, you agree to cover our reasonable costs of that claim, to the extent the law allows.
Disputes
Please email support@godseyes.io first, so we can try to sort out any problem without a formal dispute. Any consumer protection law that applies where you live and cannot be waived still applies, and nothing in these terms takes away your rights under it.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with a new effective date. If a change materially affects a paid plan, we will tell you before it applies to your next renewal. If you keep using the service after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms.
