Terms of Service

Effective October 2026. Northwoods Investment LLC, a New Hampshire limited liability company ("we", "us"), runs the Marsh Finder web app (the "App"). By using the App or buying a subscription you agree to these terms.

1. What the App is

The App analyzes public wetland, land-cover, building, public-land and road data to estimate where puddle ducks are likely to feed and rest. It ranks those places and suggests how to reach them.

The App does not detect, count or track birds. Whether ducks use a spot on a given day depends on things the App cannot see, including migration, weather, wind, tide, ice, food that year and hunting pressure. Results are estimates from data that can be out of date or imprecise (for example, wetland maps may predate recent changes to a marsh). We make no promise that you will see or take birds at any spot.

2. Hunting law, property and safety

You are responsible for hunting legally and safely. Confirm who owns or controls any land or water you hunt, get permission or permits where required (many towns, especially on Long Island, require permits for bay bottoms and town wetlands), and follow all New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and federal migratory bird rules. New York law allows shooting a shotgun over water for waterfowl only when no house, building, livestock or person is within 500 feet in your line of fire; the App's building distances are estimates from public data and may miss structures. Suggested parking, walking lines and boat-access notes are guides from public data, not checked routes: roads may be gated, marsh may be soft or flooded, tides and cold water are dangerous, and lines may cross private land. Wear a life jacket on the water and use your own judgment.

Boat launches and water routes. Launch locations come from public sources (New York State, OpenStreetMap) and may be out of date, closed, fee-only, or limited to town residents. Water routes from a launch to a spot (Pro) are estimates drawn on mapped water. They are not navigation charts, and they don't account for tide height, depth, ice, current, dikes, gates, private docks or rules that close water to boats. Open-water crossings can be deadly in wind and cold water. Wear a life jacket, check the weather, and scout routes in daylight. You alone decide whether a crossing is safe.

3. Subscriptions and billing

• The free version shows the habitat map and public boat launches, and lets you save your own places and record trails. A free account also gets 5 suggested spots in total ("free picks"), each with its access details and Guide me in; a pick is used only when a spot is shown, and stays viewable. A subscription unlocks every ranked spot near any address, every search, with access details and Guide me in. Pro (the Launch Planner: water routes from launches to spots) is offered to invited testers only for now, at no charge.
• Subscriptions renew automatically (yearly or monthly, as you chose) until you cancel. Cancel anytime from the Account panel in the App ("Manage billing or cancel"). Cancelling stops future charges; you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
• Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
• If we change a price, we will tell you by email at least 30 days before it applies to your subscription, and you can cancel before then. Founders pricing stays at the price you signed up at for as long as that subscription stays active.
• Prices are in U.S. dollars. You are responsible for any taxes that apply where you live.

4. Refunds

If the App isn't for you, email us within 30 days of your first payment on a season or founders pass, or within 7 days on a monthly plan, and we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked. This applies once per customer, to the first payment of a subscription. A refund ends access immediately. After that window, payments aren't refunded, but you can cancel anytime and keep access until the end of the period you've paid for. Refunds normally appear on your card within 5 to 10 business days.

5. Your account

We identify you by the email you pay with. Sign-in links are personal; don't share them. You may use your subscription on your own devices. One subscription is for one person.

6. Acceptable use

Don't copy, scrape, resell or redistribute the App's maps, rankings or data; don't try to bypass the paywall; and don't interfere with the App's operation. We may suspend accounts that do.

7. Ownership

The App, its software, model, maps and rankings belong to Northwoods Investment LLC and are protected by copyright and other laws. Public source data remains subject to its own terms. Sign pins you log are stored on your phone and stay yours.

8. No warranty

The App is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and that the App will be uninterrupted or error-free.

9. Limit of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, or for injury, trespass, citations or losses arising from your hunting or travel decisions. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change materially affects paying subscribers, we'll give notice in the App or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the App after that means you accept the change.

11. Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New Hampshire. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in New Hampshire, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring it elsewhere.
