A. Scraping, Machine Learning, and Use of AI.
AccuWeather’s Website and App contains information, data, and content that are the exclusive property of
AccuWeather and its intellectual property, and obtaining it by using Artificial Intelligence (AI) without

Property terms and restrictions. Any use of an algorithm, generative AI tool, model, or other software development
for the purpose of scraping, machine learning, training, fine tuning, or other software development, in any form, for
any purpose, without AccuWeather’s prior written consent, is expressly prohibited. It is prohibited to circumvent,
disable, or otherwise interfere with any security features or authentication processes that prevent or restrict access
to scraping or copying without permission. In the occurrence of the above, without limiting any of AccuWeather’s
other rights, AccuWeather may (i) charge a licensee fee and/or (ii) suspend or terminate Your access to the Services

Charges will be calculated based upon the subscription package selected, and are applicable to the current version of the package selected. Upgrades related to hardware changes or new releases may be subject to additional charges.

Absolutely no credits or refunds are available. Once a charge has been processed to Your credit card or wireless account, You shall not request that Your credit card or mobile carrier company reverse the charge or charge it back to AccuWeather. If You have a legitimate basis to request a credit for a charge previously processed against his or her credit card account, he or she shall request a credit from AccuWeather by written notice and resolve the issue directly with AccuWeather. Any reversed charges which cause the credit card company to impose a charge back, refund, or credit cost against AccuWeather shall be reimposed by AccuWeather upon You. Such costs may exceed the cost of the reversed item or charge back by many times. "Lifetime" subscription packages relate only to the Products initially downloaded or accessed by You, and do not extend to upgrades to the Products or different hardware. AccuWeather reserves the right to discontinue and/or cancel Lifetime Subscriptions for wireless Products, so long as AccuWeather provides You a free upgrade to a different Product for Your wireless device.
