By accessing or using Michigan Gateway ("the Service"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service. These terms apply to every visitor and to any feature offered through the Service, whether free or otherwise.
Michigan Gateway is provided free of charge for personal, journalistic, civic, educational, and commercial reference use. You may bookmark, share, and link to any page. You may not (a) attempt to circumvent rate limits or scrape the underlying live-data feeds in a way that would burden our upstream sources, (b) misrepresent Michigan Gateway as the official source of any government data, or (c) use the Service in connection with any unlawful activity.
All data shown on Michigan Gateway is sourced from public agencies (NWS, USGS, NOAA, EPA, FEMA, EGLE, and others) and is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. Live readings may be delayed, missing, or provisional pending review by the upstream agency. Michigan Gateway is not authoritative for any life-safety, regulatory, legal, or financial decision — see our Data Disclaimer for details. Always verify with the original source and call 911 for emergencies.
The underlying data shown on Michigan Gateway is public-record information owned by its respective U.S. federal, state, and local agencies and is generally free to reuse subject to each source's terms. The presentation, code, and editorial content of Michigan Gateway are © 2026 The SunTimes News and TRUiC; reuse of the layout, copy, or styling without permission is not permitted.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Michigan Gateway, TRUiC, The SunTimes News, and their affiliates are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of profits, loss of data, personal injury, or property damage, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations on liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.
Michigan Gateway links to and embeds content from third-party agencies and services. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy, availability, or content of those external resources. Their respective terms of use and privacy policies apply when you visit them.
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this page and, where material, called out on the homepage. Continued use of the Service after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Michigan.
