Terms of Service

Naturecode. Last updated 18 September 2026.

1. Who provides this service

Naturecode is provided by Naturecode, an ideell förening — a non-profit association registered in Sweden (“we”, “us”). By using it you agree to these terms.

2. What Naturecode is, and is not

Naturecode records environmental measurements and reports whether a site has changed by more than that site's own measurement error. It states the threshold, the method and the number of occasions behind every verdict, and it declines to answer where the method cannot support the question.

It is not an accredited environmental assessment, not a substitute for a regulatory survey, and not a basis for a legal or planning determination on its own. Where a regulator requires an accredited method, use one.

3. Accuracy depends on method and protocol

Every verdict depends on the method that produced the reading and on the protocol being followed. We publish the field accuracy of each method — not its datasheet figure — and refuse change claims from methods whose own error exceeds the effects being looked for. A change measured by one laboratory and confirmed by another is confounded with the difference between them.

4. Your data and your project

Measurements belong to the project, not to the individual who recorded them. Project owners control access and may export project data at any time. Removing a member does not remove the project's record.

5. Species locations

You agree not to use Naturecode to locate and harm protected species, and not to publish precise locations of threatened taxa obtained through it. We may suspend access where we believe it is being used to that end.

6. Third-party data

Satellite imagery comes from the Copernicus programme and carries the notice “Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data”. We are not responsible for its availability or for changes to it.

7. Availability

Naturecode is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis while in development. Features may change or be withdrawn.

8. Liability

To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for decisions taken on the basis of what Naturecode reports. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, and nothing affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by Swedish law, and the Swedish courts have jurisdiction.
