1. A planning guide, not safety advice
Recommendations are produced by conservative, published rules applied to third-party forecasts. They are not medical advice, a safety certification, or a guarantee that any route or time is safe. Forecasts describe one point and can be wrong; conditions vary along a route and change quickly. Always check official alerts, your own health and local conditions before you go, and stop if conditions deteriorate.
2. Free service, no warranty
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We may change, suspend or discontinue the service at any time. To the fullest extent permitted by law, PuddleRunner is not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from use of the service or reliance on its output.
3. Acceptable use
You may use PuddleRunner for personal, non-commercial planning and share links freely. You may not scrape, overload, probe or interfere with the service, circumvent rate limits, resell its output, or present its recommendations as official weather warnings.
4. Advertising
The service is funded by advertising so that it stays free. Ads are labelled, never placed where they could be mistaken for a weather verdict, and governed by the choices described in the privacy policy.
5. Data sources and attribution
Weather data: NOAA / National Weather Service (public domain) and Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0). Location data: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Sunrise and sunset are computed locally. These providers are not affiliated with PuddleRunner and bear no responsibility for this service.
6. Intellectual property
The PuddleRunner name, design and code are owned by PuddleRunner. Forecast data belongs to its providers under their licences.
7. Changes
We may update these terms; the effective date above will change. Continued use after a change means you accept the new terms.
8. Governing law
Governing law and venue: to be specified by the operator.
