Terms of Service

1. Agreeing to These Terms

By creating an account, buying a subscription, or downloading, opening or using Fendhold, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use Fendhold. If you use Fendhold on behalf of an organization, you confirm you are authorized to accept these Terms for it, and “you” includes that organization.

2. What Fendhold Is

Fendhold is a survival and emergency preparedness guide. It provides educational information, checklists, calculators, quizzes and tools on topics such as water, shelter, fire, food, navigation, signaling, first aid, wildlife, gardening and off-grid power, and it lets you save your own plans, notes and progress. Much of Fendhold is designed to keep working without an internet connection.

Fendhold is not an emergency service, an emergency alert or warning system, a medical provider, or a source of legal advice. It cannot call for help, send your location, or receive official alerts. Official instructions from emergency services and public authorities always take priority over anything in Fendhold.

3. Safety, Emergencies and Your Responsibility

In an emergency, call 911 (or your local emergency number) first. For a possible poisoning in the United States, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222.

Survival and preparedness activities carry real risks, including drowning, burns, fire, carbon monoxide poisoning, electrocution, falls, cuts, animal attacks, hypothermia, heat illness, illness from unsafe water or food, and poisoning from misidentified plants or fungi. The information in Fendhold is general and educational. It cannot account for your skills, health, equipment, surroundings, weather or local law, and it may be incomplete, out of date or wrong for your situation.

You agree that:

• you are solely responsible for deciding whether, when and how to use any information in Fendhold, and you do so at your own risk;
• you will get proper training and supervision before attempting dangerous activities, and you will use qualified professionals (for example a licensed electrician, physician or wildlife officer) where appropriate;
• you will follow all laws, regulations, permits, licenses, burn bans, seasons and property rules that apply to you, including hunting, trapping, fishing, foraging, fire, water and electrical rules, and you will check them with the responsible authority rather than relying on Fendhold;
• adults are responsible for supervising any minor who uses Fendhold or attempts anything described in it.

Our Safety & Emergency Disclaimer gives topic-by-topic warnings and is part of these Terms. To the extent permitted by law, you voluntarily assume all risks of injury, illness, death, property damage and legal consequences arising from activities you choose to undertake using information from Fendhold.

4. No Liability for How You Use Fendhold Information; Release

Fendhold provides information. What you do with it is your decision and your responsibility. Any action you take, or decide not to take, based on information, tools, calculators, checklists, illustrations, ratings or quiz results in Fendhold is taken solely at your own risk.

In this section, the “Fendhold Parties” means Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C., Angel Tech Corporation Holding L.C., and each of their members, managers, officers, employees, contractors, licensors, content contributors, successors and assigns.

No liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Fendhold Parties are not responsible or liable for any injury, illness, disability, death, property damage, loss of crops, livestock, pets or equipment, fire, flood or environmental damage, fine, penalty, citation, license suspension or other legal consequence, or any other loss or damage of any kind that arises out of or relates to:

• any activity you undertake or attempt using knowledge gained from Fendhold, including treating or drinking water, foraging, preparing or eating food, hunting, trapping, fishing, building fires, shelters, filters, generators or power systems, handling tools, chemicals, batteries, fuel or electricity, giving first aid, navigating or signaling;
• your interpretation, application or misapplication of any information, or any mistake, omission, simplification or out-of-date statement in it;
• any equipment, structure or system you build, modify or operate, and anything you consume, based on Fendhold;
• your failure to follow the law, official instructions, product labels or manufacturer instructions, or to get proper training or professional help;
• information you share with, teach to, or act on for anyone else, and anything they do with it;
• Fendhold or your device being unavailable, inaccurate, out of date or not working when you need it, including during an emergency or without a connection.

Release. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, for yourself and for your heirs, estate, family members, executors, administrators and assigns, voluntarily release, waive and discharge the Fendhold Parties from all claims, demands, causes of action and liabilities of every kind, known or unknown, arising out of or relating to the matters listed above, including claims based on the ordinary negligence of any Fendhold Party in preparing, reviewing or presenting information, and you agree not to bring any such claim. If you live in a place where a general release does not extend to claims you do not know or suspect at the time you agree to it, you waive that protection to the extent the law allows.

No professional relationship or duty. Using Fendhold does not create a doctor–patient, attorney–client, engineer–client, instructor–student or any other professional or fiduciary relationship, and the Fendhold Parties do not owe you any duty of care, duty to warn, duty to rescue, or duty to update information beyond what these Terms expressly state.

Minors and others in your care. If you allow a minor or anyone else in your care to use Fendhold or to take part in an activity described in it, you accept this section on their behalf, you are responsible for supervising them, and you agree that this release and the indemnity in Section 18 cover claims brought by or for them, to the extent the law allows.

What this section does not do. Nothing in this section limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including liability for fraud, for willful or intentional injury, or for gross negligence, or any other right that the law where you live does not allow to be waived. This section works together with Section 3, Section 16, Section 17 and Section 18; if any part of it is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.

5. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be at least 13 years old to use Fendhold. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), you may use Fendhold only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on your behalf and is responsible for your use. You must be at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) to buy a subscription.

Some features require an account. You agree to give accurate information, keep your email address current (we send sign-in, security and account notices there), keep your password secure, and tell us promptly at support@fendhold.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You are responsible for everything done through your account. An account is for one person and may not be sold, shared or transferred, except where a plan expressly allows sharing (for example, family sharing offered through an app store).

6. Offline Use, Updates and Syncing

Fendhold stores guide content and your saved data on your device so that it can work without a connection. Content stored on your device is only as current as the last time it updated. Laws, regulations, product recalls and official guidance change, so connect regularly to receive updates, and verify anything time-sensitive or legal with the responsible authority.

When you are signed in and online, Fendhold syncs your saved data with our servers so it is available on your other devices. Changes made offline sync the next time you connect; if the same item was changed on two devices, the most recent change may replace the other. Data that has not synced exists only on that device and can be lost if the device is lost, damaged or reset, or if you delete the app. Keep printed or other independent copies of plans and information that you would need in an emergency, because a phone or battery can fail when you need it most.

We may release updates, and some updates may be required to keep using Fendhold or to keep syncing.

7. Your License to Use Fendhold

Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable license to download, install and use Fendhold on devices you own or control, for your own personal, non-commercial use. If you obtained the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play, your use must also follow that store’s usage rules.

Fendhold and everything in it that is not your content, including the guides, text, checklists, illustrations, animations, data compilations, software, design, and the FENDHOLD and ANGEL TECH names and logos, are owned by us, by Angel Tech Corporation Holding L.C., or by our licensors, and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Except for the license above, no rights are granted to you. You may print or save copies of guide pages for your own household’s personal preparedness use, but you may not sell, republish, redistribute, or build a product or dataset from Fendhold content.

8. Protection of Our Software, Code and Content; No Malicious Use

The Fendhold apps and website, including their source code, object code, scripts, markup, style sheets, databases, data structures, interfaces, algorithms, build files, design, layout, text and illustrations (together, the “Fendhold Materials”), are proprietary to Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C. and its licensors and are protected by copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property laws. You receive only the limited right to use Fendhold described in Section 7. You do not acquire any ownership of, or right to, any code.

No copying or altering. Except as these Terms expressly allow, you may not, and may not help or allow anyone else to:

• copy, reproduce, download in bulk, mirror, frame or archive the Fendhold Materials, or any part of their code;
• modify, alter, adapt, translate, patch, “mod” or create derivative works of the Fendhold Materials, or inject code into, hook or tamper with the apps or website;
• decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise try to derive the source code, structure, algorithms or data of Fendhold;
• remove, bypass, disable or circumvent any license check, paywall, subscription control, plan limit, encryption, access control, rate limit or other technical protection measure;
• distribute, publish, sell, rent, lease, sublicense or host any copy of Fendhold, any modified, “cracked” or unlocked version of it, or any of its code;
• remove, obscure or alter any copyright, trademark, license or other proprietary notice; or
• use the Fendhold Materials to develop, train or improve a competing product, service, dataset or artificial intelligence model.

No malicious use. You may not use Fendhold, or anything obtained from it, with malicious intent. That includes: introducing or attempting to introduce viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, logic bombs or any other harmful code; launching or taking part in a denial-of-service attack or any attempt to overload, crash or impair Fendhold or the systems and networks that run it; gaining or attempting to gain unauthorized access to any account, server, database or data, including by credential stuffing, password guessing, session hijacking or exploiting a vulnerability; intercepting, monitoring or altering anyone else’s data or communications; phishing, spoofing or impersonating Fendhold, ANGEL TECH, our companies or other users; and using Fendhold or its information to harm, defraud, threaten or endanger any person, animal or property.

Good-faith security research. Testing that follows our Security & Vulnerability Disclosure policy, including reporting what you find to us and not to others, is authorized and is not a violation of this section.

Consequences. A violation of this section is a material breach of these Terms. We may immediately suspend or terminate your access and account without prior notice, block devices and networks involved, and, to the extent the law allows, refuse any refund for the period of misuse. Because a violation can cause irreparable harm for which money damages are not an adequate remedy, we may seek an injunction or other equitable relief, without posting a bond where the court permits, in addition to damages, our reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, and any other remedy available at law. Unauthorized access, tampering and circumvention can also be crimes, including under the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030), the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 1201), and the Oklahoma Computer Crimes Act (21 O.S. § 1951 et seq.), and we may report violations to law enforcement and cooperate with them.

What this section does not restrict. Open-source components included in Fendhold remain available under their own licenses, and nothing in these Terms limits rights those licenses give you. Nothing here prohibits an activity that applicable law expressly permits despite a contractual restriction, and only to the extent the law permits it.

9. Your Content

“Your content” means the plans, notes, checklists, supply records, photos, settings and other information you add to Fendhold. You keep ownership of your content. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, copy, transmit, back up and display your content solely to operate Fendhold for you, including syncing it between your devices, and to keep the service secure. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except for copies in backups that are removed on the schedule described in the Privacy Policy.

You confirm that you have the right to add your content and that it does not violate the law or anyone’s rights. If you add information about other people, such as family members or emergency contacts in a plan, you confirm you have their permission. We do not review your content before it is stored, but we may remove content that violates these Terms.

10. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Fendhold lawfully and to follow our Acceptable Use Policy. In short, you may not use Fendhold to harm people or animals unlawfully, to break hunting, trapping, wildlife or other laws, to interfere with or attack the service, to access data that is not yours, to copy, alter or scrape our code or content, or to evade plan limits or payment. Section 8 sets out the rules on our code and on malicious use in full. We may remove content, limit features, or suspend or end accounts that violate these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy.

11. Subscriptions, Free Trials and Billing

Some Fendhold features require a paid subscription. The price, billing period and what is included are shown before you buy. Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price, and you will be charged unless you cancel before the renewal date. You can cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you keep paid features until then.

• Purchases made through the Apple App Store or Google Play are billed by Apple or Google, managed in your store account settings, and refunded only by Apple or Google under their policies.
• Purchases made on our website are billed by our payment processor. You can cancel in your account settings or by emailing support@fendhold.com.
• If a free trial is offered, it converts to a paid subscription when it ends unless you cancel before then.
• We may change prices or plan features. We will give you advance notice of a price increase, and it applies from your next renewal after the notice period; you can cancel before it takes effect.

The full rules, including refunds for website purchases, are in our Subscriptions & Billing Policy, which is part of these Terms.

12. App Store Terms

These Terms are the end-user license agreement for the Fendhold apps. Apple Inc. and Google LLC are not parties to these Terms. If you downloaded Fendhold from the Apple App Store, the following also applies, and it controls if it conflicts with anything else in these Terms:

• Acknowledgement. These Terms are between you and Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C. only, not Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the app and its content.
• Scope of license. Your license is limited to a non-transferable license to use the app on Apple-branded products that you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, except that the app may be accessed by other accounts associated with you through Family Sharing or volume purchasing.
• Maintenance and support. We are solely responsible for providing any maintenance and support for the app, as described in these Terms or as required by law. Apple has no obligation to provide any maintenance or support services for the app.
• Warranty. We are solely responsible for any product warranties, whether express or implied by law, to the extent not effectively disclaimed. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price of the app (if any) to you. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the app, and any other claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs or expenses attributable to a failure to conform to a warranty are our responsibility, to the extent not disclaimed in these Terms.
• Product claims. We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims by you or a third party relating to the app or your possession or use of it, including (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the app fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection, privacy or similar legislation.
• Intellectual property rights. If a third party claims that the app or your possession and use of it infringes that third party’s intellectual property rights, we, not Apple, are solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of that claim.
• Legal compliance. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
• Developer name and address. Questions, complaints or claims about the app should be sent to Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C., 811 N Market, Watonga, Oklahoma 73772, USA, at support@fendhold.com.
• Third-party terms. You must comply with applicable third-party terms of agreement when using the app, such as your wireless data service agreement.
• Third-party beneficiary. Apple and Apple’s subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms, and once you accept these Terms, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

If you downloaded Fendhold from Google Play, your use is also subject to the Google Play Terms of Service, and Google is not responsible for the app or its support.

13. Third-Party Sources, Links and Services

Some Fendhold content is based on publicly available guidance from government agencies and other organizations, and Fendhold may link to outside websites, such as state wildlife agencies or weather services. Those organizations do not endorse Fendhold, and we are not responsible for their content, availability or practices. Your use of third-party services, including app stores, payment processors and sign-in providers, is subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

14. Feedback and Corrections

We welcome corrections and suggestions at support@fendhold.com. If you send feedback, you allow us to use it without restriction or payment to you. If you believe something in Fendhold is unsafe or inaccurate, please tell us so we can review it.

15. Changes to Fendhold and Availability

We may add, change or remove features and content, and we may suspend or discontinue Fendhold in whole or in part. If we discontinue a paid feature you have paid for, we will give reasonable notice where possible and, for website purchases, a pro-rated refund of any prepaid amount for the period after discontinuation. We do not guarantee that Fendhold will be available at any particular time, in any particular location, or on any particular device.

16. Disclaimers

FENDHOLD AND ALL CONTENT IN IT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE, ANGEL TECH CORPORATION HOLDING L.C., AND OUR LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT FENDHOLD OR ITS CONTENT IS ACCURATE, COMPLETE, CURRENT, SAFE, LAWFUL WHERE YOU ARE, UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR AVAILABLE WHEN YOU NEED IT, INCLUDING DURING AN EMERGENCY OR WITHOUT A CONNECTION.

Fendhold does not provide medical, legal, engineering, electrical or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for training, professional help, or instructions from emergency services and public authorities. Calculator results, ratings and quiz answers are approximations to help you learn.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.

17. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER WE NOR ANGEL TECH CORPORATION HOLDING L.C., NOR OUR OR ITS MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS OR LICENSORS, WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, ILLNESS, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO FENDHOLD, ITS CONTENT, OR ACTIVITIES YOU UNDERTAKE BASED ON IT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE DAMAGES.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO FENDHOLD OR THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR FENDHOLD IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS (US$50).

Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or, where the law does not allow it to be limited, for death or personal injury caused by gross negligence or willful misconduct. Some jurisdictions do not allow these limitations, so they may not apply to you in full.

18. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C., Angel Tech Corporation Holding L.C., and their members, managers, employees and contractors from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from your content, your misuse of Fendhold, activities you undertake in violation of law or of these Terms, or your violation of anyone’s rights.

19. Suspension and Termination

You may stop using Fendhold at any time and delete your account in the app’s settings or as described on our Delete Your Account page. Deleting your account does not cancel an app store subscription; cancel it in your Apple or Google account settings.

We may suspend or terminate your access if you materially or repeatedly violate these Terms, if required by law, to protect people or the service, or if we discontinue Fendhold. Where reasonable, we will give notice and a chance to export your data first. When your access ends, your license ends and your data is handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Section 3, Section 4, Section 7 (ownership), Section 8, Section 9, and Section 16 through Section 25 survive termination.

20. Governing Law and Informal Resolution

These Terms and any dispute relating to Fendhold are governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Before filing a lawsuit, the party with a claim must send the other a written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought. Send notices to us at support@fendhold.com; we will send notices to the email address on your account. The parties will then try in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for 60 days. This step is required, and any limitation period is paused while it runs. If the dispute is not resolved, either party may proceed under Section 21.

21. Disputes, Courts and Class Action Waiver

Small claims court. Either party may bring an individual claim in a small claims court that has jurisdiction over it.

All other disputes. Any other dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to Fendhold or these Terms will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Oklahoma, and you and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts. Either party may also ask any court with jurisdiction for an injunction to stop unauthorized use of the service or infringement of intellectual property. After a dispute arises, you and we may agree in writing to mediate or arbitrate it, but neither of us is required to.

Class action waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you and we each agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding, and claims may not be consolidated with anyone else’s without both parties’ consent. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim, and only that claim, may proceed on that basis, and this section continues to apply to every other claim.

Jury trial waiver. To the extent permitted by law, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to Fendhold or these Terms must be filed within one year after it arises or it is permanently barred. The informal-resolution pause in Section 20 extends this period.

Your local rights. If the law where you live gives you a right that cannot be waived to bring a claim in your local courts, under your local law, or as part of a class, nothing in this section takes that right away.

22. Notice to California Residents

Under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, California users are entitled to the following consumer rights notice: the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.

23. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms. We will post the new version on this page with a new date. For material changes, we will notify you in the app or by email before they take effect. If you continue to use Fendhold after the effective date, you accept the updated Terms; if you do not agree, stop using Fendhold and cancel any subscription. Changes do not apply to disputes that arose before the change.

24. General

These Terms, together with the policies listed at the top of this page, are the entire agreement between you and us about Fendhold and replace any prior agreements on that subject. If any provision is found unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent; we may assign them to an affiliate or to a successor in a merger, acquisition or sale of the business or assets. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment or agency relationship. We are not responsible for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. You agree to comply with U.S. export control and sanctions laws in your use of Fendhold. Headings are for convenience only. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls.

25. Trademarks and Licensing

ANGEL TECH and FENDHOLD are trademarks of Angel Tech Corporation Holding L.C., used under license by Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C. Angel Tech Corporation Industries L.L.C. owns the copyright in Fendhold. You may not use the FENDHOLD or ANGEL TECH names, logos or other marks without prior written permission, except to refer to Fendhold accurately in a way that does not suggest sponsorship or endorsement.
