Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form an agreement between you and [[LEGAL_ENTITY]] ("we", "us"), the developer of the Veer application (the "App"). By downloading, accessing, or using the App, you agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Safety Disclaimer, which are incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) and legally able to enter into these Terms to use the App.

3. Weather & Safety Disclaimer

The App provides numerical weather-model data (sourced via Open-Meteo, which aggregates models including ECMWF, GFS, and ICON), station observations, tide predictions, and computed RideScores for informational purposes only. Plain-language summaries are generated automatically and are a convenience rendering of the same underlying data — they are not advice.

4. Subscriptions & In-App Purchases

The App offers auto-renewable subscriptions ("Pro") for enhanced features. Where offered, a free trial may apply.

• Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
• Subscriptions renew automatically at the then-current price unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
• Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the period ends.
• If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription.
• You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Refunds are handled by Apple under the App Store terms.

5. Acceptable Use

You agree not to reverse engineer, resell, or misuse the App, interfere with its operation or security, or use it in violation of applicable law. We grant you a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App on Apple devices you own or control, subject to these Terms and the App Store Usage Rules.

6. User-Generated Content

The App lets you submit spot photos, crowd reports, presence updates, and spot corrections (together, "User Content"), each tied only to your device's anonymous identifier, not to an account or your name. By submitting User Content, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute it within the App and its promotional materials, for as long as it remains part of the spot record. You represent that you own or have the necessary rights to the User Content you submit — including the credit and licence information you provide for a photo — and that it does not infringe anyone else's rights.

You agree not to submit User Content that is objectionable, offensive, illegal, or infringes the rights of others; see Section 5 (Acceptable Use) for the App's general usage rules. All submitted photos are reviewed and must be approved before they are shown to anyone; other User Content is filtered before display. Any rider can report User Content they consider objectionable, and a photo that receives 2 reports is automatically hidden pending review. We may remove any User Content and block the device identifier associated with abusive submissions, at our discretion. See our Privacy Policy for how User Content and your device identifier are handled.

7. Intellectual Property

All software, graphics, branding, badge designs, and interface layouts in the App are protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws and remain our property or that of our licensors. Spot seed data is © OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database License (ODbL). Third-party data and software are credited on the Acknowledgements page.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The App is provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that forecasts, scores, or any data are accurate, complete, timely, or uninterrupted. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our developers, suppliers, and data providers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for personal injury, loss of life, or property loss, arising from your use of or reliance on the App. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law (such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud). Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Apple App Store Terms

These Terms are between you and us only, not with Apple; Apple is not responsible for the App or its content. To the extent applicable:

• We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its maintenance and support; Apple has no support obligation.
• If the App fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple, and Apple may refund the purchase price; to the maximum extent permitted by law, Apple has no other warranty obligation for the App.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for addressing any claims relating to the App, including product liability, legal or regulatory non-compliance, and consumer protection claims.
• We, not Apple, are responsible for investigating and resolving any third-party claim that the App infringes intellectual property rights.
• You represent that you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo or designated as "terrorist supporting," and are not on any U.S. Government prohibited-parties list.
• Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

11. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate access if you materially breach these Terms. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including Intellectual Property, Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law) will survive.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of [[GOVERNING_LAW]], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and the courts of [[JURISDICTION]] shall have jurisdiction, except where mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence provides otherwise.

13. Changes & General

We may update these Terms; the "Effective" date above reflects the latest version, and continued use constitutes acceptance. If any provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in effect. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Safety Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the App.
