Terms of Service

Effective date: May 14, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of DMAP-AI, including the DMAP-AI website, the DMAP-AI Research Version, and the DMAP-AI ChatGPT app or connector. DMAP-AI is provided by AgriMetSoft LLC ("AgriMetSoft," "we," "our," or "us"). By using DMAP-AI, you agree to these Terms.

DMAP-AI provides drought analysis outputs for research, education, planning, and informational use. It is not an official drought declaration system and does not replace professional judgment.

Permitted use

You may use DMAP-AI to request drought-related analyses such as SPI tables, drought severity events, wavelet scalogram summaries, and drought periodicity diagnostics. You agree to use the service lawfully and responsibly.

Free ChatGPT version

The free DMAP-AI ChatGPT version currently focuses on selected outputs, including SPI table, drought severity events, wavelet scalogram, and drought periodicity/global wavelet spectrum. Copula and other advanced or licensed features may be unavailable in the free ChatGPT version.

No professional or emergency advice

DMAP-AI outputs are analytical and informational. They should not be used as the sole basis for emergency response, agricultural operations, water management, insurance decisions, legal compliance, financial decisions, or public drought declarations. You are responsible for reviewing results and consulting qualified professionals or official agencies when needed.

Data sources and uncertainty

DMAP-AI may use external climate or precipitation datasets, including NASA POWER and ERA5/Copernicus or ECMWF-related data services. Results depend on the selected location, date range, baseline period, data source, SPI scale, aggregation method, drought threshold, and category method. Data may contain uncertainty, missing values, revisions, or delays.

User inputs and saved runs

You are responsible for the accuracy of the coordinates, dates, baseline, thresholds, and analysis settings you provide. If you save runs or use an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for activity under your account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

Misuse, overload, scrape, reverse engineer, or interfere with DMAP-AI systems.
Use automated requests in a way that harms service availability or violates rate limits.
Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, APIs, or data.
Use DMAP-AI outputs deceptively or present them as official government drought classifications unless clearly supported by the relevant authority.
Upload or submit unlawful, harmful, or infringing content.

Intellectual property

DMAP-AI, including software, design, documentation, workflows, and generated presentation formats, is owned by AgriMetSoft LLC or its licensors. You may use analysis outputs for your own research, education, reports, and presentations, subject to these Terms and appropriate citation of DMAP-AI and applicable data sources.

Availability and changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of DMAP-AI at any time. Features, data sources, limits, pricing, and access rules may change. Free features may have usage limits.

Third-party services

DMAP-AI may rely on third-party services for data, authentication, hosting, analytics, and ChatGPT app functionality. We are not responsible for third-party service interruptions, terms, or data changes.

Disclaimers

DMAP-AI is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that results will be error-free, uninterrupted, complete, or suitable for a specific purpose.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, AgriMetSoft LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, and partners will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for losses arising from use of or reliance on DMAP-AI outputs.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate access to DMAP-AI if we believe a user violates these Terms, abuses the service, creates security risk, or causes harm to DMAP-AI or other users.

Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Iowa, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless applicable law requires otherwise.

Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
