Pulso

Terms of Use

Version 1.0 · Effective: 30 August 2026

grAppe, Colombia — grappestudio@gmail.com

By downloading, installing or using the Pulso app (the "App"), you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

This is a translation. The Spanish (Colombia) version at https://grappe-studio.netlify.app/pulso/terms.html governs in case of any discrepancy.

1. First, and most important

⚠️ Pulso is NOT an official emergency service.

Pulso displays public third-party data. It is not an early-warning system, it does not replace any authority, and it must not be used as the sole basis for decisions affecting life, health, safety or property.

In an emergency, or if you are in any doubt about a hazardous situation, use the official channels:

  • Line 123 (emergencies in Colombia)
  • SIATAhttps://siata.gov.co
  • DAGRD (Medellín) and your municipality's risk-management agency
  • Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá (AMVA)

If an authority orders an evacuation or issues a warning, that instruction overrides anything this App displays.

2. What Pulso is, and what it is not

Pulso is a viewer. It takes information published by SIATA, the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá, Metro de Medellín, the Colombian open-data portal and CityBikes, and draws it on a map.

Pulso does not generate, measure, correct or certify data. If a SIATA station is broken, if a sensor reports an impossible value, or if a source stops publishing, Pulso will show that as honestly as it can — but it cannot substitute for the missing measurement.

Pulso is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by SIATA, the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá, Metro de Medellín, EnCicla, or any public body. Their names and marks are used solely to attribute the source of each dataset.

3. Accuracy, availability and delay

The App is provided "as is" and "as available". In particular, you acknowledge that:

  1. Data may be wrong, incomplete, delayed or missing. It depends on sensors, networks and servers we do not operate.
  2. Data may be stale. The App shows the time of the most recent reading, and explicitly labels previously saved data when it serves it. A value with an old timestamp describes the past, not the present.
  3. The weather radar may be out of service due to SIATA maintenance or upgrade work. The App will try to warn you when SIATA announces it, but cannot always detect it.
  4. The App may simply not work, due to network failures, source changes, maintenance or programming errors.

4. Notifications: delivery is not guaranteed

Pulso's alerts travel over services we do not control (Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging, Apple's APNs), across your carrier's network, and are presented by your device's operating system.

We do not guarantee that a notification will be sent, arrive, arrive on time, or be displayed. It may fail because of: no connectivity, low battery, power-saving mode, Do Not Disturb, disabled notification permission, OS restrictions, messaging-provider outages, or because the data that would have triggered it was never published.

Do not build your safety around a Pulso notification. The absence of an alert does not mean the absence of danger.

5. Licence

We grant you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the App on devices you own or control, for personal, non-commercial purposes, subject to these Terms.

No ownership is transferred. The App, its code, design, icons and name belong to grAppe or its licensors.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

7. Third-party data and attribution

The data shown belongs to its respective sources and is subject to each one's terms of use. The App credits every source, with a link to its site, on the Information screen — including SIATA and the Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá.

If a source changes its terms, withdraws a dataset or asks us to stop using it, we may remove the corresponding functionality without notice.

8. Changes to the App and the service

We may modify, suspend or discontinue the App — or any of its layers or features — at any time and without notice. The App is free and carries no service-level agreement.

We may require an update to a minimum supported version for continued use.

9. No warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the App is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including without limitation the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, uninterrupted availability and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, grAppe, its partners, employees and contributors shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, nor for loss of profits, data, use or reputation, arising from:

As the App is provided free of charge, our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to it is limited to one hundred thousand Colombian pesos (COP 100,000).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under Colombian law, including liability arising from wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

11. Indemnity

You will hold grAppe harmless against third-party claims arising from your use of the App in breach of these Terms or of the law.

12. Privacy

Data handling is governed by the Privacy Policy at https://grappe-studio.netlify.app/pulso/privacy.html, which forms an integral part of these Terms.

13. Minimum age

You must be at least 13 years old to use the App. If you are a minor, you must have your parent's or legal guardian's permission.

14. Termination

These Terms remain in force while you use the App. You may end them at any time by uninstalling it. We may suspend or terminate your licence if you breach these Terms. Sections 3, 4, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 15 survive termination.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia. Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of Medellín, Antioquia, without prejudice to any consumer's statutory right to bring proceedings in their place of domicile.

16. Severability and entire agreement

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder stays in full force. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and grAppe regarding the App.

17. Additional terms for the Apple App Store

These terms apply only to the copy of the App downloaded from Apple's App Store, and prevail over the above in case of conflict:

  1. These Terms are concluded between you and grAppe only, not with Apple. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content.
  2. The licence granted is a non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple-branded devices you own or control, as permitted by the Usage Rules in the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions.
  3. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance or support services for the App.
  4. If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple will refund the purchase price (zero, as the App is free). To the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation with respect to the App.
  5. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability, failure to conform to legal or regulatory requirements, and claims arising under consumer protection or privacy legislation.
  6. If a third party claims the App infringes its intellectual property rights, grAppe, not Apple, is solely responsible for the investigation, defence, settlement and discharge of that claim.
  7. You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as a "terrorist supporting" country, and that you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  8. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and have the right to enforce them against you.
  9. Questions, complaints or claims regarding the App: grappestudio@gmail.com.

18. Additional terms for Google Play

Distribution through Google Play is additionally governed by the Google Play Terms of Service. Google is not a party to these Terms and is not responsible for the App.
