If you use Gusty through the Apple App Store, Apple’s Standard End User License Agreement applies to the licensed mobile app unless Gusty provides a separate app license.

These Terms apply to the Gusty service, accounts, web app, data, content and related features.

3. What Gusty provides

Gusty provides watersports focused weather, wind, water, tide, spot and forecast information for personal planning and decision support.

Gusty is not safety equipment, emergency guidance, professional meteorological advice, nautical advice, rescue advice, or a substitute for your own judgment.

4. Accounts

Some features may require an account.

You are responsible for keeping your device, email account and sign-in access secure. You must not use another person’s account without permission or let another person impersonate you through your account.

Gusty may suspend or terminate access if an account is used to abuse the service, bypass restrictions, scrape data, attack infrastructure, create security risk, infringe rights, or violate these Terms.

5. Safety and personal responsibility

Kitesurfing and related watersports involve inherent risks, including injury or death.

Weather, wind, water and tide conditions can change quickly. Forecasts, measurements, model outputs, spot information, charts and recommendations may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, unavailable, or unsuitable for your exact location.

You are responsible for:

• checking local conditions;
• checking official warnings;
• understanding local tides, currents, water hazards and rules;
• using appropriate equipment and safety gear;
• riding within your ability;
• seeking local knowledge where needed;
• deciding whether conditions are safe.

Do not rely on Gusty as your only source of information.

Read the Safety Disclaimer before using Gusty for session planning.

You must not:

• copy, scrape, bulk download, resell or republish Gusty data without written permission;

• use Gusty for unlawful, harmful, fraudulent or misleading purposes;
• upload, transmit or attempt to introduce malicious code;
• misuse support channels;
• remove attribution or misrepresent Gusty output as official safety guidance;
• use Gusty in a way that harms the service, other users, or third-party providers.

7. Forecasts, data and third-party services

Gusty relies on third-party data sources and service providers for hosting, authentication, maps, weather data, water data, tide data, forecasts and related functionality.

Third-party data and services may be inaccurate, delayed, incomplete, unavailable, discontinued or changed without notice.

Gusty does not control third-party data sources and is not responsible for third-party services outside its control.

Gusty may change, suspend or discontinue parts of the service where reasonably necessary.

9. Paid features

Gusty may offer paid features in the future.

If paid features are offered, pricing, renewal, cancellation and refund information will be shown before purchase.

If digital features are purchased through an app store, the app store’s purchase, cancellation and refund rules may apply.
