Terms of Service

1. The short version

Nydus is a free web app showing live US–Canada border wait times. By using it, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

2. The service

Nydus shows live border wait-time readings from public agency feeds, roadside sensors, traffic cameras, and weather data. Nydus is free to use: no account, no tracking, no ads. The app's interface runs in your browser; wait times, cameras, and weather are fetched for you by our servers so the agencies never see you directly (see Privacy Policy §4). We operate no user accounts and collect no personal data.

3. Estimates, not guarantees

Wait times are live readings of conditions right now — not predictions and not guarantees. Conditions change; the line you see is not necessarily the line you will get. Always plan with margin and check official sources when it matters.

4. No affiliation

Nydus is not affiliated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Canada Border Services Agency, any transportation agency, camera operator, or any government agency.

5. Driver responsibility

Never check your phone while driving. Have a passenger check wait times, or check before you leave. You are responsible for operating your vehicle safely.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or systematically collect content or data from Nydus;
• Copy, clone, republish, redistribute, or create derivative works of the app or its content;
• Circumvent, disable, or interfere with any technical protections, including rate limits and access controls;
• Use the service in a way that disrupts, overburdens, or degrades it for other users;
• Misrepresent Nydus data as your own, or as official data from any government agency;
• Use the service for any unlawful purpose.

7. Intellectual property

The Nydus app — its code, design, text, and branding — is owned by nqnpdubu and protected by copyright and trademark law. All rights reserved. The underlying wait-time, camera, and weather data comes from public agencies and third-party providers and remains subject to their terms.

8. No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, reliability, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, nqnpdubu is not liable for any damages arising from your use of Nydus — including missed crossings, delays, travel costs, or decisions made based on wait-time readings.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of Nydus after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms. The "last updated" date above will always reflect the current version.

11. Contact

Questions about these terms: [email protected].

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

13. Language

These terms are written in English. Any translation is provided for your convenience only. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the English version and a translated version, the English version prevails.
