Terms of Service

By using TickZone, on the web or in the TickZone iOS app, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site or the app.

What TickZone is

TickZone provides a free, daily, estimated tick-risk score for towns across all 50 states, built from public data. It is for general information only. It is not medical advice, not a diagnostic tool, and not a substitute for professional judgment. It is a defensible heuristic, not a validated epidemiological model, and it cannot tell you whether any specific tick carries disease. If you find an attached tick or develop symptoms after a bite, contact a healthcare professional and see CDC guidance.

No warranty

The site and its scores are provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. The underlying data comes from third parties and may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. We don't guarantee the site will be accurate, available, or error-free.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TickZone and its maintainer are not liable for any decision you make, or any loss or harm you suffer, based on the site or its scores. Use your own judgment and consult professionals for health decisions.

Acceptable use

Please don't attempt to disrupt the site, scrape it in a way that degrades service for others, or use it unlawfully. The TickZone name, design, and content are ours; the cited public data belongs to its respective sources.

TickZone Pro subscriptions

The TickZone iOS app is free to use. It offers an optional auto-renewing subscription, TickZone Pro, which unlocks spike alerts, unlimited saved places, and the home-screen widget. Pro is offered as a yearly plan ($29.99 per year, with a 7-day free trial) and a monthly plan ($9.99 per month). Prices are shown in the app before you subscribe and may vary by region.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription anytime in your App Store account settings. If you purchase a subscription before a free trial ends, any unused portion of the trial is forfeited. Purchases, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple under its terms; for refund requests, see Apple's refund page.

Waitlist

If you join the waitlist, you consent to receiving one email when the app launches. You can unsubscribe at any time. See our Privacy Policy.
